Shi Lei's heart once again tensed up.

If what Xu Tai said was true, then there were really too many things that this couple left behind in their Jiangling.

What was their purpose, and what kind of institution was behind them?

Shi Lei felt that the matter was once again shrouded in a layer of fog.

Xu Tai was already about to enter a berserk state, Shi Lei planned to bring him back. No matter what, this was the person he had saved back then.

Recalling the strange smell that came from the front of the villa, Shi Lei hurriedly took out an herb from his pocket and placed it on Xu Tai's nose. ”If you don't want to die, then don't take this!”

Xu Tai waved his hand, looked at Shi Lei and said: ”Forget it, I don't have much time left. Rather than going out to suffer, why not wait here slowly?”

's words were actually not wrong, but Shi Lei also had his own bad intentions. After all, from the current situation, it seemed like only Xu Tai understood the situation a little more.

The most important thing was that Xu Tai did not finish what he said just now. It seemed as though he was hiding a part of it.

Regardless of whether it was out of righteousness or selfishness, saving Xu Tai was a must.

Of course, the current Xu Tai was already on the ground, without any strength.

There was nothing that could be done, this kind of work could only be done by Shi Lei himself, but fortunately, Xu Tai was not that heavy of a burden. After covering his nose with the medicinal herbs, Shi Lei immediately brought Xu Tai and ran out of the villa's area.

However, what Shi Lei found strange was that this smell did not attract any of the nearby residents. It was obviously very strange, but he still could not see a single person coming over.

”Don't be surprised, this is a place that is rarely seen. Moreover, it's because we were infected by the Gu before, that's why we reacted. We can't detect anything from normal people.”

Xu Tai said tiredly.

In the beginning, he had hoped that others would be able to smell this scent and come find him. No matter how few people there were, there would always be people passing by, but after such a long time, other than Shi Lei, no one else came to look for him.

”You know that I've been infected with the parasite?”

Shi Lei looked at him suspiciously, thinking that Shi Hua was involved with them as well.

Xu Tai weakly waved his hand: ”That day, after you left, the two of them started laughing out loud and said that you would definitely die within 24 hours.”

”I never thought that you would actually come back to life. Furthermore, you look as if you're not injured in the slightest. As expected of the President Shi.”

Even though he was already this tired from talking, Xu Tai still liked to joke around. Looking at Shi Lei, he said: ”President Shi, I know the reason why you saved me, but I have no choice, I only know this much. If you want to learn more from me, then you can only apologize.”

It seemed like Xu Tai understood it quite well.

After his inner heart was seen through, Shi Lei felt a little awkward, but he did not express it out, he only looked at Xu Tai and said: ”Then there's even less need to worry, go back and rest well, I think those two will definitely come back to find you.”

This was not what Shi Lei had said on purpose. After all, there was a mechanism backing them up, which meant that there was probably something that they wanted to obtain from the Jiangling. This was the most crucial point.

After bringing Xu Tai back to the hotel, Shi Lei specially prepared quite a few things to place beside Xu Tai, and then reminded him a thousand times: ”Right now, I have to go out and do something. Remember, if I don't appear, you must not open the door.

With great difficulty, Xu Tai managed to escape from death. At this time, he no longer had the pride he had when he spoke to Shi Lei for the first time, and only felt a faint sadness.

It was as if after this incident, he had aged quite a bit.

”I know.”
