Chapter 62: Transaction

One by one, strange-shaped, familiar or unfamiliar items were turned out by Han Li and divided into two piles according to the degree of suspicion, placed to one side.

He gradually felt some amazement. Doctor Mo really had quite a few miscellaneous things on him, many of which were clearly lethal at first glance.

A sleeve arrow that would kill upon seeing blood.

A bag of poisonous sand soaked in snake venom.

Over a dozen incredibly sharp boomerangs.

As the number of items increased, Han Li's breathing became somewhat rapid. The more carefully he searched, the more he felt shocked.

Only now did he realize how lucky he had been when he fought with Doctor Mo. If the opponent hadn't just wanted to capture him alive, he would have long since been dead.

Wiping the cold sweat off his face, Han Li mocked himself: "A living person like me was actually scared by the things of a dead person."

Finally, the search was completed, and Han Li began to study the items he considered suspicious one by one.

"This thing in the small bottle smells so bad, it seems to be some kind of antidote, it should be fine."

"This strange weapon, how does it look like a small wheel? Although I don't know what it's for, it probably has nothing to do with the giant. Put it aside first."

"As for this sachet..."

Han Li was talking to himself while fiddling with the items, looking very interested. At this moment, he was holding a common sachet embroidered with plain white silk flowers.

Logically speaking, such a common sachet shouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion. But Han Li thought that such an ordinary object appearing on an ordinary person was normal, but appearing on an ambitious hero like Doctor Mo was unusual.

Han Li first weighed it with one hand, feeling it was very light, so it shouldn't contain any heavy objects. Then he pinched it again, and it had a paper texture, seemingly hiding pages of a book or something similar.

Han Li's spirit was lifted. He opened the sachet and, not surprisingly, found several sheets of paper inside.

He glanced at them slightly; it was Doctor Mo's own handwriting, and he felt a bit more confident in his heart. Looking at them in detail, Han Li was stunned. It was actually a suicide note left by Doctor Mo for him.

Han Li was somewhat puzzled, and his curiosity was greatly aroused. He picked up these sheets of letter paper and browsed through them in detail.

After reading, Han Li exhaled a long, stuffy breath toward the sky, then furrowed his brows, becoming burdened with worries.

He paced with his hands behind his back, like a little old man, walking aimlessly. Every two steps, he would stop, thinking about something, then unable to make up his mind, walk a few more steps, and stop again to continue thinking.

Just like this, unknowingly, Han Li was like a donkey pulling a mill in a mill, circling around Doctor Mo's corpse incessantly. His face was changing between red and white, showing that his heart was agitated and uncontrollable.

Such an unsettled appearance actually happened to Han Li. If Li Li Feiyu knew about this, he would probably laugh out loud immediately.

The reason Han Li became like this was all because the suicide note left him a very bad piece of news and a dilemma. The antidote to the "Corpse Insect Pill" actually had poison in it, a rare and sinister poison. According to the letter, this poison could only be cured by his family's heirloom "Warm Yang Jade," and there was no other way besides this. Even several legendary holy antidotes couldn't cure this poison.

Therefore, on these few pages of paper, Doctor Mo clearly told Han Li that this suicide note and the sinister poison he had planted before were his backup plan for the worst-case scenario. If his possession failed and something unexpected happened, then the person who could survive would most likely be Han Li. For the sake of his own affairs after death, he intended to make a simple transaction with Han Li in the letter, making both sides happy. Not only could it eliminate his own worries, but it could also allow Han Li to obtain a large amount of wealth and endless benefits.

As for whether Yu Yu Zitong would be the last survivor, Doctor Mo didn't consider this point at all. In the letter, he spoke of him with a contemptuous tone, believing that this person was not only cold-blooded but also cowardly, only having a little bit of cleverness. Even if he were a cultivator, he wouldn't have any great prospects, and the person who laughed last would definitely not be this person.

When Han Li saw this, he felt a bitter smile in his heart. Doctor Mo had calculated so much, but he probably didn't expect that he himself would fall into the trap of a person he usually looked down upon. If it weren't for his own concealment of the true progress of the Changchun Gong, he would most likely have perished together with Doctor Mo, in vain letting Yu Yu Zitong pick up a bargain on the side. Of course, this also had to do with Doctor Mo himself being confused by the dream of becoming an immortal. It seemed that no matter what kind of cultivator, one couldn't underestimate anyone.

In the letter, the transaction proposed by Doctor Mo was very simple. He required Han Li to go to his home within one year at the earliest, or two years at the latest. First, the sinister poison he had planted would flare up in two years, and second, he had wives, concubines, daughters, and a not-so-small foundation at home. Although Doctor Mo had made many arrangements before leaving and released smoke screens to deceive people, if he didn't return for a long time, his unruly subordinates and enemies would probably become suspicious and cause harm to his family. Therefore, Han Li had to protect his wife and children before things got worse, settle them properly, and preferably let them stay away from Jianghu vendettas and live a worry-free ordinary life.

As compensation for plotting against Han Li and the reward for Han Li to put aside his grudges and go to help, he was willing to designate one of his daughters to be Han Li's wife, and the dowry would be half of all his property and that "Warm Yang Jade."

Doctor Mo had already handed the jade to his legal wife before leaving, specifying that it was a dowry for his daughter's marriage. Therefore, for the sake of his own life, Han Li had to go and marry her even if he didn't want to.

Of course, he also clearly pointed out that his enemies and opponents were very strong, and his subordinates were not easy to control. With Han Li's current ability, facing them directly would probably be impossible to handle. For this reason, he had specially arranged two fake identities for Han Li in the secret compartment of his residence and had left behind tokens and handwritten proof letters in advance, letting Han Li choose a suitable identity himself. At the same time, he listed the names of trusted personnel, suspicious elements, and enemies in the letter, as well as details such as matters needing attention.

Finally, as proof of his sincerity in leaving this suicide note, he attached the control and calling methods for the "Giant Tie Nu" and the "Cloud-Winged Bird."

What made Han Li somewhat confused was that the opponent vaguely pointed out that Tie Nu was a corpse man without soul or spirit, just a walking corpse, and his original true soul had long since been reincarnated, telling Han Li not to be sad when he saw him. This made Han Li somewhat puzzled. Did he look like a person with rich emotions?

However, even putting aside the poisoning, facing such a large amount of wealth, saying Han Li wasn't moved would be a pure lie. He had always been very sensitive to money, and he was greatly interested in the transaction proposed by Doctor Mo before he died. As for marrying his daughter, this also made Han Li, who had reached the age of budding love, feel strange in his heart. After all, just looking at Doctor Mo's original appearance, one could tell his daughter couldn't be ugly.

But the risks he had to face were also no small matter. If he wasn't careful, he might even lose his own life. The enemies who could be regarded as opponents by Doctor Mo were not easy to deal with!

Doctor Mo, who had arranged his affairs after death without any leaks, used life, beauty, and huge wealth to tie Han Li and the safety of his wife and children together. It seemed Han Li had to eat this poisonous pill wrapped in honey with a bitter face.
