Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 9354



9354 Chapter 9353-

The young master from a wealthy family was confident in his intelligence.”With the style of the talisman patrician family, the Wang family, I don’t believe that they’d treat even a mere bodyguard as a child’s play. The only reasonable explanation is that those experts who were waiting for an opportunity to act were just a cover. The real test is inside and not outside. Tao Baibai, the spy who sneaked in, is your real killer move. Although his strength isn’t much, poisoning him shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Interesting,” the Smoking Man laughed.

The rest of the people looked sad. Apparently, they had agreed with the other party’s deduction. This was the only way to match the Smoking Man’s statement that whoever discovered the danger first would win.

Moreover, this round was a test of insight, and the opponent’s performance was the perfect embodiment of insight.

“Alright, I’ve said all that needs to be said. Now, it’s time for me to reveal the final decisive evidence so that everyone can be convinced.”

The young master took the glass of water from the Smoking Man and glanced at Lin Yi threateningly.

The scene where Lin Yi crippled Xiao bawang was indeed a mess, and he was also scared when he saw it. Unfortunately, Lin Yi had the strength but no brains, and it ended up benefiting him instead.

One could only say that the heavens were still looking out for a smart person like him-a martial artist like Lin Yi deserved to be his stepping stone.

“This is the poison identification needle sold by the central Chamber of Commerce. Please take a good look.”

The young master from a wealthy family took out an unremarkable silver needle. Although it was not scientific to test for poison with a silver needle, it had a reason in the cultivation world. This was because this was not an ordinary silver needle, but one that had been specially refined for poison. It could react to most of the known poisons with extremely high accuracy.

Under everyone’s gaze, the young master smiled and slowly inserted the silver needle into the cup.

There was no response for a long time.

For a moment, the situation was quite awkward. The others who had already resigned themselves to their fate could not help but hold back their laughter. They had talked so excitedly as if it was real, but in the end, they were just talking to themselves. After acting cool for so long, it was all in their faces …

“Impossible! Why is there no reaction?”

The young master obviously didn’t believe in heresy. He was very confident in his deduction and was certain that this was the only truth. It couldn’t be wrong. It was absolutely impossible!

“If you think that the poison identification needle won’t work, why don’t you try this?”

The Smoking Man casually threw out a few talismans. They were the Wang family’s special poison identification talismans. Compared to the poison identification needle, this thing was more accurate and more credible.

The young master of the wealthy family immediately grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He quickly took a poison identification talisman and poured the water in the cup onto it.

There was still no reaction.

The rest of the people heaved a collective sigh of relief. The poison identification needle didn’t work, and now the poison identification talisman didn’t work either. There was nothing else to say. There might be a very small possibility of error if it was just one item, but it was impossible to make a mistake with two items in a row.

“Why would I be wrong? It can’t be wrong, right?”

The young master from the rich family murmured. He felt that the difference was too great and his mental state was a little abnormal.

Although everyone was gloating in their hearts, seeing that he had already suffered such a blow, it was not good to show it too obviously on their faces. They could only snicker and return to their own positions, continuing to be on guard against the guards outside the courtyard who might invade at any time.

Lin Yi, who’d been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and walked over to the Smoking Man. He picked up a poison detection talisman and slowly poured the water in his cup onto the man.

In an instant, green smoke rose up. It was clearly a sign of poison!

Everyone’s jaw dropped as they looked at Lin Yi, not knowing what to do.

Lin Yi looked at the young master and explained, “There’s nothing wrong with your deduction just now, but it’s a pity that you’re 99 steps right and one step wrong. Tao Baibai’s target isn’t commander Yan, but us.”

To put it bluntly, the logic behind it was not difficult to understand.

The Smoking Man’s goal was too obvious. If he poured water for him, even if other people could not fully deduce the logical chain behind it like this man, they might test the poison first out of careful consideration, which would ruin the original intention of the test.

And if he did the opposite, the possibility of such a subconscious accident happening was much lower. Although it could not be said to be completely rigorous, luck was at least within an acceptable range.

Moreover, this arrangement was still self-justified in terms of the rules. The first requirement of a bodyguard was to protect the employer, but if they could not even guarantee their own safety, how could they talk about protecting the employer?

Since ancient times, there had been countless cases of people trying to get rid of security guards before an assassination. From the absolute number alone, this was a high probability event.

The young master’s mentality completely collapsed after hearing Lin Yi’s words.

He’d been using Lin Yi as a stepping stone all this time, but now he’d lost to him! It looked like Lin Yi was stealing the fruits of his victory-how could he just let that happen?

“Something’s wrong! It was not fair! There’s poison in his cup, so it’s naturally the easiest for him to discover it. How can we find out before he does?”

The young master from a wealthy family shouted hysterically.

Lin Yi shrugged helplessly,”I already said that he’s going to poison us. Do you understand what we mean? It’s not only my cup that’s poisoned, but all of yours is poisoned as well. ”

“They’re all poisonous?”

Everyone was stunned. The young master of the wealthy family did not believe it and took his cup to test it. It was indeed poisonous!

That wasn’t all-he even took the cups from the others and tested them one by one, and as Lin Yi said, all of them were poisoned!

Everyone was initially still hoping for a fluke, but now, they were completely speechless.

Since everyone’s Cup was poisoned, it meant that everyone had an equal chance of finding it. It would be a bit of a hassle to say it was unfair.

If this was any other place, he might still be able to continue spouting nonsense to muddy the waters. However, this was the Wang clan, a clan of talismans. Just by looking at the Smoking Man’s personality, he knew that he would definitely not let them off easily. If he were to really cause trouble, he would only end up embarrassing himself.

“You don’t have anything to say?”

The Smoking Man looked at the crowd and asked.

Everyone shook their heads despite their unwillingness. Only the young master couldn’t accept the reality. He stared at Lin Yi and Tao Baibai and shouted,””I’m not convinced! The two of them have been whispering to each other since the beginning. Who knows if this guy has given him a hint in private?”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the others also brightened, as if they were grasping at the last life-saving straw.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown-he really didn’t have any way to prove himself if the guy really wanted to frame him.

It was obvious that the other party was trying to take advantage of him. It was unrealistic to solve the problem with self-proof. Moreover, he did have a lot of private exchanges with Tao Baibai, which could not be washed away.
