However, there was no one around, not a single figure in sight.

But I saw two folding chairs and fishing gear by the lake.

A smile flashed across his puzzled eyes.

Could it be that Lanlan asked him to meet here for fishing?

Even though they had known each other for such a long time, he had no idea that she actually liked fishing.

Shi Ye walked over, sat on the folding chair, and fiddled with the fishing gear.

Although he didn't like fishing, when his grandfather was still alive when he was young, he often accompanied his grandfather to fish and he even learned it from watching.

I had just thrown the fishing hook into the lake when I suddenly heard a rustling sound behind me.

"You're here." He quickly looked back and was suddenly stunned.

The one who came was not Gu Jinlan.

It was Qingli and a man in a wheelchair.

The man had a pale face and a pair of emerald green eyes that were the same color as the lake in front of him.

Shi Ye frowned slightly, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

If he guessed correctly, the man in the wheelchair should be Lan Lan's friend named Si Mo.

Finally, he got to see Si Mo.

Qingli pushed Si Mo's wheelchair to Shi Ye.

"Why you?" Shi Ye asked, "Where's her?"

Qingli was about to say something, but Si Mo interrupted her and said, "From the tone of Mr. K, it seems that he knows that we are friends with her."

Shi Ye was slightly stunned.

As Mr. K, he did not know Qingli.

Qingli resisted the urge to speak and stood quietly aside.

On the way here, Si Mo told her to try not to talk and let him handle everything.

Shi Ye said: "She asked me to come, but it was you two who showed up. If you and her are not friends, what else could it be?"

"That's right." Si Mo smiled and nodded.

Shi Ye asked, "Why did you pretend to be her and ask me out?"

I made an appointment with him but didn't show up to meet him. Is this Lan Lan's style?

There was absolutely no need for her to do that.

Si Mo said: "Master Shi is indeed a smart man."

Shi Ye was stunned, and his deep eyes behind the mask narrowed slightly.

"I've heard of you for a long time. This is our first meeting, but I didn't expect it would be under such circumstances." Si Mo extended his hand towards Shi Ye.

Before, he had always thought that he might have to wait until the day of Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye’s wedding before he could meet Shi Ye.

He had long wanted to take a good look at what kind of man could make Gu Jinlan crazy.

However, the mask blocked Master Shi's face, and his eyes were hidden in the shadow of the mask, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

Shi Ye sneered.

He came here today with the intention of being honest with Gu Jinlan and had no intention of continuing to hide his identity.

So he didn't care whether Si Mo was trying to deceive his identity and just took off his mask.

When his handsome face appeared, Qingli widened her eyes slightly in surprise, "Master Shi! It's really you!"

Shi Ye looked at Si Mo with his hawk-like sharp eyes, "You are Si Mo."

He keenly sensed that the visitor had ill intentions and did not shake hands with Si Mo.

Si Mo took his hand back, "Looks like I don't need to introduce myself. It's good to save some time."

Shi Ye said coldly: "Then stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Don't be anxious." Si Mo said, "How about I tell you a story first?"

"All ears."

Si Mo looked at the calm lake and said faintly, "Once upon a time, there were three orphans who didn't know each other. They became good friends in a mental hospital."

"They helped each other and naively believed that as long as their bodies got better, they could leave that place and live a free life like the wind."

"But that sanatorium is not a place to heal them, but a devil's den."

"They became experimental subjects. After neurosurgery, they lost their identities and were trained to become tools for capital to make profits."

"It's like a hunting dog that can only keep hunting. Every time the old wounds haven't healed, new wounds will be filled..."

Shi Ye listened to Si Mo's story with his brows deeply furrowed.

He could tell that the story Si Mo was telling at this moment was exactly the story that Lan Lan had always been reluctant to tell him.

He asked anxiously: "And then?"

Si Mo smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, Master Shi. You need to be patient when listening to the story."

He turned his eyes to the fishing rod that was swaying slightly in front of Shi Ye, "A fish has been hooked, Master Shi can reel in the fishing rod now."

Shi Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Go on."

Si Mo looked at him, "It seems that Master Shi is very indignant about this story. Do you think those three orphans are pitiful?"

Shi Ye did not answer, but stared at Si Mo with cold eyes, not wanting to hear any other unnecessary nonsense from him.

The expression on Si Mo's face was as calm as a quiet lake. "They are indeed miserable, but they have never given up the pursuit of light."

"Finally, they escaped from that devil's den, but the unresolved neurotoxins in their bodies prevented them from gaining complete freedom."

"So they decided to go back to the Demon Cave to get the antidote, but... this is a road that is very risky."

Shi Ye's heart was already tightening.

So Lanlan came to Country M this time just to get medicine?

He waited for Si Mo to continue speaking, but Si Mo remained silent.

"And then?" Shi Ye urged impatiently, "Go on."

Si Mo shook his head, "No more."

Shi Ye asked in a deep voice: "Did you get the medicine?"

Si Mo looked at Shi Ye and chuckled twice, "It's just a story, why are you so excited?"

"No need to beat around the bush with me, just tell me where Lanlan is? Why didn't she come?" At this moment, Shi Ye felt an even stronger feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

The appearance of Si Mo and Qing Li here means that the person who went to steal the medicine was Lan Lan.

"She can't come to see you, and she can't come." Si Mo said.

"Why?" Shi Ye's eyes were gloomy.

Si Mo's tone remained calm, "Why? Master Shi should know clearly, right?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Ye was about to stand up.

Si Mo suddenly pulled out a pistol and put it against his forehead, "Sit down! I don't like people standing while talking to me."

Qingli was shocked, "Mo! What are you doing?!"

Si Mo ignored Qingli. His emerald green eyes were like the sea before a storm, terrifyingly gloomy.

Shi Ye's forehead was tense, and he was not afraid of the gun pointed at his forehead.

He glared at Si Mo fiercely, "If anything happens to Lan Lan, I won't let you go."

Si Mo shook his head gently: "You don't have to do it. I asked you to meet me today because I want you to be buried with Lan. She loves you so much, you must go to accompany her, and we will also go to accompany her."

Hearing this, Shi Ye's expression was shocked, and a few bloody red streaks appeared in his dark eyes.

"Si Mo, what on earth are you doing? Are you crazy?!" Qing Li grabbed the gun, looking puzzled, "Aren't we here to see Master Shi to save Lan?"

The purpose of their coming to see Master Shi was to ask him to go to the base and bring Lan back.

She had no idea that Si Mo actually came here to kill the Tenth Master.
