Chapter 786 Memory and Poisoning

The ferryman still has one more card in his hand, and that is Wei Boti.

He didn't dare to threaten Shi Lei directly, but that didn't mean that he didn't dare to use Wei Puti again.

Of course Shi Lei also understood this.

"Threatening me directly, you are not sure that you can make me submit, so you have only one other option. I am thinking about how you can make better use of Wei Puti. Threatening me will you hurt Wei Puti? Or is it a threat? Will you kill Wei Puti? No, you dare not touch her. At most, you can only encourage her to keep asking to return to China. The effect of touching her is the same as touching me. The leader will eliminate you at all costs."

Shi Lei laid out the thoughts in his mind one by one in front of the ferryman in words. The whole process was logically clear.

He continued: "Or you will try every means to facilitate Wei Puti's request to return to China. There are two possibilities. First, Wei Puti successfully returned to China. However, you should know that Wei Puti returned to China The only result of Huaxia will be that she will become a corpse. Regardless of whether she can successfully avenge her father, she will definitely die, not to mention that the Eye of the Night is not under your leadership, even if she is, you will. You don't have the courage to challenge a big country like China. Therefore, you can't protect her. And now that I have seen the consequences of Wei Puti's return to China, I will never agree to support you. Instead, you may push me to sign a contract with your leader. The agreement you mentioned. Of course you know what the only requirement is for me to sign an agreement with your leader."

The ferryman's face was gloomy, as if it was about to start raining. He raised his head slightly, rolled his eyes a third of the way, and said, "Mr. Shi, aren't you threatening me?"

Shi Lei smiled, waved his hand and said, "I'm not threatening you, I'm just analyzing it for you. There's another possibility I haven't mentioned yet."

The ferryman didn't give Shi Lei a chance to continue. He said: "The second possibility is that I have no way to get Wei Puti's request approved, so Wei Puti will keep asking and will eventually be executed by the leader. If so, The leader has become Mr. Shi’s enemy, and the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Mr. Shi really doesn’t think about avoiding this situation?”

Shi Lei waved his hand again, tilted his head and smiled.

Picking up the wine glass, Shi Lei took a sip, nodded and said, "Well, the thirty-year-old single malt tastes really mellow."

"Mr. Shi, there is no use in avoiding."

Shi Lei put down his wine glass with a smile and said: "First, the enemy of the enemy should not be a friend. This sentence is only true to a certain extent, but never all. Second, even if Wei Boti is executed by your leader, the instigator It’s not your leader, but you, Mr. Ferryman. How can you let me simply regard the executioner as an enemy and treat you as an ally? This is really ridiculous.”

The ferryman looked at Shi Lei with twinkling eyes. He found that it was really difficult for him to convince Shi Lei.

Before Shi Lei finished speaking, he raised his third finger.

He said: "Third, I don't think Wei Boti will be so short-sighted as to endlessly provoke your leader. Even if she doesn't know that she is being used by you now, it won't take long for her to find out. So. It is actually very difficult for such a situation to arise.”

Then, Shi Lei raised a fourth finger and said: "Fourth, even if Wei Puti is really stupid enough to be used by you willingly, or she is blinded by hatred and gets carried away, I don't think your The leader would be stupid enough to execute her. Of course, I don’t know the inner workings of your Eyes of Darkness. You are very mysterious and very capable, but that doesn’t mean you are a cult that advocates technology. It would be too bloody to execute her for making a mistake. The greater possibility is that you will change her memory so that she doesn't even know who she is. Anyway, her sister will support her for the rest of her life, and of course, I will too. Isn’t clearing memories what your Eyes of Darkness are best at?”

The ferryman's body suddenly fell backward and lay back on the chaise longue.

After a long while, he let out a long breath.

The wine glass was held in the ferryman's hand. He took a big sip, his Adam's apple twitching, and he struggled to swallow the thirty-year-old single malt whiskey.

"My prediction was good. Mr. Shi is indeed a very difficult negotiator."

The ferryman's voice became much lighter, as if the failure of his hope was also a relief for him. He said: "Perhaps, I really should have a good talk with the leader and ask her what the meaning of our pursuit of those technologies is. "

Of course Shi Lei would not think that he had completely convinced the ferryman, but at least the result of today's conversation was that he defeated the other party.

He stood up and walked to the bathroom.

It seemed like they had been chatting for a long time, with swords and swords clashing and testing each other, but in fact, the water in the bathtub was only just full.

There weren't even many traces of water on the bathroom floor.

Shi Lei tested the water temperature and turned off the faucet.

He said: "Mr. Ferryman, the water temperature is not bad and the bathtub is full. I am a little tired today. I want to take a bath and rest early."

The ferryman also stood up from the chaise longue. He drank the last whiskey in his glass and did not forget to take the remaining half of the bottle with him.

When he walked to the bathroom door, the ferryman said, "I think I don't need to erase Mr. Shi's memory of tonight, right?"

Shi Lei turned around, smiled and said, "I thought you had put drugs in the wine."

The ferryman smiled mysteriously, opened the door and left Shi Lei's room.

Shi Lei took off his clothes, raised his feet, and walked into the bathtub.

He lay in the bathtub, feeling tiredness sweeping over him, overwhelming him, and he fell asleep with his head tilted.

...

Not long after, an hour later, Shi Lei woke up in the bathtub.

He felt the bath water was getting a little cold, walked out of the bathtub, rinsed in the shower, and then changed into new underwear and got into the warm bed.

In the morning, Shi Lei went to the restaurant to have breakfast. When he came back, he saw that it was already 9:20, so he walked out of the room and took the elevator down to the lobby.

The ferryman was already sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

Shi Lei walked towards the ferryman, and the ferryman also greeted Shi Lei softly.

The ferryman took Shi Lei out of the hotel gate. An Alphard had been waiting outside for a long time. The ferryman opened the door himself and invited Shi Lei to get in the car.

The car slowly left the hotel. The ferryman observed Shi Lei in the rearview mirror and asked, "Did Mr. Shi have a good rest last night?"

Shi Lei looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was really too tired yesterday. I fell asleep in the bathtub after you left..." At this point, Shi Lei's face seemed to show some doubts. He frowned, but still shook his head and said nothing.

"I should say sorry for delaying Mr. Shi's rest time yesterday."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "It's not a delay. It's just a few words. It's a pity that I couldn't even drink a sip of wine with you. If you are not in a hurry to leave Bao'an, we can drink tonight."

"I'll take Mr. Shi through the customs. I'll go back to Europe directly from Hong Kong Island in the afternoon. Next time, there will always be a chance." After the ferryman said this, his body sank down.
