Who Do You Want to Kill?

When Qin Mo entered carrying another dessert, Number Seven was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

He seemed to be circulating his internal energy, but the flow of his internal energy was not smooth.

Not long after, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

Qin Mo quickly stepped forward, pressed two acupoints on his body, and then patted his back to restore the reversed internal energy.

"Don't push yourself. The Lei family has trained you, so they must have their own ways of protecting you."

"You have the Thousand Machine Induction technique, unique to Lei Family Fortress, inside your body. Without the antidote, you cannot fully unleash your internal energy."

"Moreover, if you don't take the antidote within three months, you will surely die."

Qin Mo stated the facts in a casual tone.

That day at Golden Beach, if it weren't for the Thousand Machines, Number Seven wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

Number Seven suddenly looked up at him: "You even know about the Thousand Machines Technique, who exactly are you?"

Do you know Lei Yunqi?

Number Seven paused for a moment: "That was the previous young master of Lei Family Fortress, but he disappeared after carrying out an assassination mission in his early years."

"You know him?"

Lei Yunqi was once a prominent figure in the martial arts world.

As the young master of Lei Family Fortress, he was also a world-renowned top assassin who displayed extraordinary martial arts talent from a young age.

It was originally thought that after he took over Lei Family Fort, he would bring Lei Family Fort to a new peak.

Who would have thought that ten years ago he went out to carry out an assassination mission.

It was originally just an ordinary task. Although the other party was influential, they were by no means a difficult opponent.

However, this seemingly insignificant mission led to Lei Yunqi's departure and his never returning.

Many people say he is dead.

The assassination attempt failed, and Lei Yun was killed instead. Overnight, Lei Yun's reputation was ruined.

Lei Family Fort severed ties with Lei Yunqi overnight, and even Lei Yunqi's confidants were expelled from Lei Family Fort.

Ten years have passed, and everyone believes that Lei Yunqi is definitely dead.

Little did they know, he not only didn't die, but also became a bald, greasy middle-aged man.

He just loafs around in Blackrock Prison all day, waiting to die.

Qin Mo knew him more than just someone.

However, Qin Mo didn't tell Number Seven about this. Instead, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

The pills inside were made by Qin Mo last night.

"Three times a day, and after three days, the Thousand Machines Induction in your body will disappear on its own."

Number Seven's body jolted suddenly, his pupils dilated sharply, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"What is this?"

Qin Mo was too lazy to explain: "This contains the antidote for the Thousand Machine Inducing. Of course, you can choose not to believe it; the choice is yours."

Number Seven paused for a moment, then picked up the bottle, poured out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

"I'm not afraid." Number Seven looked at him. "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have brought me here."

He saw it all that day at Golden Beach.

Qin Mo's skills far surpassed his own, so there was no need for him to resort to poisoning.

"You saved me, my life is yours now."

After taking the antidote, Number Seven's gaze towards Qin Mo became resolute.

"Whom do you need me to kill?"

Qin Mo chuckled, speechless. "When did I ever say I wanted you to kill someone for me?"

Number Seven remained unfazed: "But you know my background. I can't do anything except kill."

He thought that Qin Mo recognized that he came from Lei Family Fort.

Saving him was only to get him to help kill someone.

Qin Mo sighed, "Sigh, he's such a stubborn person."

"Alright, since you've said it yourself, your life is now in my hands. So I'll tell you two things."

Number Seven thought to himself, "Just as I expected." He was neither surprised nor angry.

From a young age, he knew that someone like him could only live as a knife in someone else's hand.

"First, my clinic needs a security guard, and I think you'd be a good fit."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, Number Seven was stunned.

"security guard?"

It wasn't killing, it was protection.

Qin Mo nodded: "That's right. If you're willing, you can stay here as a security guard. Room and board are included, and I'll give you six thousand yuan a month. How about that?"

Number Seven was completely bewildered.

He used to work in Lei Family Fort, doing the most dangerous jobs, but he didn't even know what the pay was.

Someone saved him, but he didn't need to kill anyone.

He was at a loss for what to do.

Qin Mo understood his reaction perfectly and continued, "If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement."

"As for the second thing, it's much simpler."

"Now that you've left Lei Family Fortress, you can no longer use your code name."

"Give yourself a name."

The first thing was beyond Number Seven's comprehension.

The second thing, however, deeply shocked him.

In his mind, only the members of the main family of Lei Family Fort deserve to have names.

He came from the lowest level of slavery and was only given a name if he was chosen as a retainer by his master.

Qin Mo suddenly asked him to think of a name, and he couldn't say a word.

"No rush, you can take your time to think about it."

"But it would be best to come up with a solution in the next couple of days, since we still need to process your identity information."

He could tell that Number Seven seemed to be having a hard time processing these two things.

So he simply got up and left, letting him figure it out on his own.

After leaving, he greeted Cui Ruiling again before hailing a taxi to go home.

After several days of treatment, Shao Lanfang's eyes have improved significantly.

Normally, when Qin Mo comes back at this time, she should already be asleep.

But today, she was still waiting for him in the living room.

"Mom, why aren't you resting yet?"

The nanny isn't here; she's probably already resting.

Qin Mo sat down next to Shao Lanfang and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her eyes were alright.

"I'm fine, I just have some trouble sleeping."

Shao Lanfang smiled and took his hand, but her face showed a troubled expression.

Qin Mo immediately sensed something was wrong: "Mom, just tell me what's wrong. Are we going to become estranged?"

Even so, judging from Shao Lanfang's expression, he guessed what was going on.

The only people who could put Mom in such a difficult position are Qin Yurou and Lin Wanqing.

After the bar incident, Shao Lanfang lost all affection for Qin Yurou.

But to my surprise, Lin Wanqing came knocking on my door.

"Sigh, Mom won't hide it from you anymore."

"My mother-in-law... Wanqing's mother called me today. She said you sent Wanqing to prison?"

"My son, I know you have feelings for Wanqing, but we can't do anything to harm her."

Upon hearing the last two sentences, Qin Mo could already guess how Song Xiuyun had embellished the story.

The evidence against Lin Wanqing was insufficient due to the death of the black bear.

With someone bailing him out, he should be released in less than two days.

However, Song Xiuyun actually managed to contact Shao Lanfang.

"Mom, I didn't do this. You don't need to listen to other people's nonsense."

"Really?" Shao Lanfang breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it! You're the most soft-hearted person, how could you do something like this?"

"However, Mom, please don't contact the Lin family anymore after this."

Qin Mo frowned, fearing that something like what happened at the bar would happen again.

Shao Lanfang also thought of that day and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

But before she finished, she couldn't help but ask, "So, you and Wanqing... really have no chance?"

Qin Mo's tone was exceptionally firm: "In this life, and in the next life, there is no possibility."
