Toothpick?

Using a toothpick as a weapon to injure someone, in Zhu Fan's memory, the only person who would use a toothpick and is related to Yanhuang Soul is Ye Xiaofan.

But didn't Soul of Slaughter say Ye Xiaofan is not with Yanhuang Soul anymore? Could this information be wrong too?

"Are you sure it was a toothpick?" Zhu Fan asked again.

"Of course I'm sure, Wu Long died because of a toothpick. Look, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died there too." Xiaofan showed the red scar on his arm, the wound covered with dark red dots, upon closer inspection there were four or five.

"You fought?" Zhu Fan asked again.

"Yes, he was very skilled, at least several times he had the chance to kill me, but I grabbed a hostage. These wounds are from when I was preparing to leave with the hostage in the car and got hit by him. If I hadn't blocked it with my hand, it would have gone straight into my heart."

"Uncle Zhong..."

"..." Zhong silently took out his phone, after searching for a while, he placed it on the table and asked Xiaofan, "Is it this person?"

The person in the photo was indeed Xiaofan, but it was his appearance back when he was still wearing a school uniform.

The background in the photo was the gate of City Seventh Middle School in H City, meaning that he was being watched passively at the time.

"It should be him, the clothes are different, and the person looks more mature."

Yes, now definitely more handsome compared to those youthful days, Xiaofan added in his heart.

"It's Ye Xiaofan again."

"I've said what I needed to say, done what I needed to do, I didn't do anything wrong, so why lock me up? I even saved two carloads of goods, those are all gold, and lots of miscellaneous items, at least seven or eight hundred million left, right? If it weren't for this damn poison, I'd have run off with the gold ages ago, who would come back to this godforsaken place."

No flaws, if the other party doesn't have concrete evidence, then his explanation is bulletproof.

Zhu Fan is too smart; only those who think can control the situation.

But not all smart people are without weaknesses, they have their logical blind spots too. Sometimes, when they can't figure things out, they'll definitely make countless assumptions in their minds.

Xiaofan boldly utilized Zhu Fan's assumptions to weave a story beyond his expectations.

The imagined presence of Ye Xiaofan makes him more likely to believe his words. And Wu Hu returning alive gave Xiaofan a beautiful assist relatively.

Wu Hu surely knew Wu Long left with him, so the virtual scene of him going back to save people naturally unfolded.

He went back to save people, but it was only to save Lin Hongbin and others.

Standing up, Zhu Fan slowly walked out the door.

"Hey, aren't you letting me go back? I've been tired all day and night. Haven't had a good sleep yet."

"..." Zhu Fan still didn't reply and walked straight out.

Zhu Fan's mind is indeed very meticulous, thinking too much is in his nature, and he surely wouldn't believe Xiaofan's words so easily.

But Xiaofan had no flaws, and everything he did was for the sake of Red Butterfly, right? Given their team saved a billion's loss, it's quite remarkable.

Or it could be that Zhu Fan is dreading, dreading Black Mantis. Before the action, he predicted the outcome, he wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal the result first, then after things unfold, himself being the one to suspect.

What he thought of, I didn't think of. Zhu Fan is an ambitious person, firmly believing his intelligence always stood above others, but now, Black Butterfly's judging ability let him realize he's not as good at thinking through things.

Dread, jealousy. Or maybe such a smart person shouldn't be retained, especially one not under complete control.

Even so, after staying in the small dark room for another hour, Xiaofan was finally let out, allowed to return to his residence. As for rewards, according to the regulations, Xiaofan's team can get one percent as a reward, that's ten million for a billion. And personally, Xiaofan's level was directly promoted to an A-level assassin.

Regarding this news, Li San, Ruyu and others were very happy. But Xiaofan couldn't feel any joy at all.

He knew he was being suspected, things wouldn't end so simply. Zhu Fan still harbors concerns, he wants to kill him. Only by killing him, would there be no more worries.

Yes, Zhu Fan walked out silently, contemplating whether to kill Xiaofan, only by his death would the worries vanish.

But in the end, he gave up because he lacked people, in an organization with diminishing talent, bringing in such an exceptional expert was indeed rare.

While offering Xiaofan benefits and promotion, he still harbors fears about Xiaofan, seems like being the boss of Red Butterfly isn't easy.

On the way back, Xiaofan didn't talk to Li San, and when Li San couldn't resist speaking first, Xiaofan stopped him.

Returning to the residence, Xiaofan first bought two new sets of clothes at the mall, one for Li San.

Back home, without greeting others, only telling Li San to take a shower, there was nothing else.

After showering, both took beer and sat under a big tree twenty meters outside the house, drinking and chatting.

"What's going on? Not saying a word."

"Our situation is dangerous, I can assure you 100 percent, Zhu Fan has started suspecting me, but it's just suspicion, he has no evidence. After hearing my story, he still kept me for an hour, surely to arrange things like setting up wiretaps in our car, clothes, or even in that house. So our conversation would be completely exposed."

To be cautious to the extent of even changing clothes?

Indeed, every room had traces of intrusion, during that hour he was locked in the dark room, Zhu Fan indeed sent someone to Xiaofan's place to install wiretaps.

"Hey hey? What's going on? Such a perfect plan, and he still doubts? Is that guy really sane?"

"Because it's too perfect, Zhu Fan is particularly careful-minded. But as long as we don't slip, he can't do anything, and soon, he won't even have time to bother us."

"Hey, you mean over at East Gate?" Li San smiled slightly, immediately guessing Xiaofan's intention.
