Yi Xiaoyan said excitedly, "Quick, open it and take a look!"

Yi Xiaoyan was a transmigrator, but she had never seen such a superior lingzhi root. The recipe she had to use was one that stimulated other medicinal properties, so it was indispensable.

The woman from the island lowered her hand, her eyes showing a little absent-mindedness. She had lost her ability to think after being tortured by Shang Lin's medicine. Although Shang Lin's medicine would not become dependent on her, its power was extremely domineering.

Once a person came into contact with this substance, they would be unable to bear it any longer. The medicinal properties of the substance would remain in their body for three to four hours. If he didn't have the antidote within these three to four hours, that feeling would've been extremely difficult to bear.

Lin Zhihu placed the box on the chair, raised his head to look at Yi Xiaoyan and Shang Lin, and then slowly opened the lid. The three of them hurriedly moved closer, but then their excited faces turned ugly.

"Damn, how could this be!"

Lin Zhihu saw the contents of the safe. He was so angry that he grabbed the woman from the island and asked her to look at the box on the ground, "Look at what this is!"

Lin Zhihu forcefully pressed the island woman in front of the safe. He saw a dried up radish inside the safe. Even a fool could tell that this was a radish stick.

"How can this be!" The island woman's eyes were also filled with horror. The reason she came here as a notary was to take advantage of the situation and find an opportunity to take away this supreme grade Lingzhi. However, he had never imagined that there would be such a thing in the safe.

Yi Xiaoyan's face turned ugly as well. She had put her life on the line yet she still ended up being used as a gun. Not only was he being hunted down, he was even getting such a joke.

This was the first time that Yi Xiaoyan had felt like she was being toyed with. The rage in her heart was obvious!

"It's not her fault!"

Yi Xiaoyan patted Lin Zhihu's hand and let him go.

The women of the island did not expect that there was actually a radish stick in the safe. Clearly, it had been swapped by someone. However, who could be so capable that they could subvert it right in front of their own eyes?

"She was also someone who was tricked. Now, it seems that no one has anything good to fight for." Yi Xiaoyan said with a frown as she slowly walked to the room outside.

Shang Lin loosened her grip on the woman. The woman collapsed on the ground, unable to muster up even the slightest bit of strength for a moment. Clearly, that medicinal effect had not passed yet.

Yi Xiaoyan was a little angry. This was such a failure. What in the world was wrong with him? How could he have let something slip under his nose?

The three of them sat there, looking at each other speechlessly. The feeling of being cheated was not something that anyone could bear. Lin Zhihu paced back and forth in the room. At this time, the woman from the island came out from the room and said, "I know what's wrong."

Shang Lin and Yi Xiaoyan turned around in surprise and looked at the woman.

To be honest, Yi Xiaoyan didn't really believe the woman anymore. If he hadn't grabbed hold of this woman, he might have been the next to die.

"Scram!" Lin Zhihu looked at the woman and angrily said, "If it wasn't for you, we would have already run away. Why are you wasting our time here?"

The woman from the island coldly harrumphed but didn't say anything. She knew that it was Yi Xiaoyan who was in charge here and she wouldn't listen to Lin Zhihu's words. Therefore, the woman from the island only looked at Yi Xiaoyan expectantly.

"Come sit!" Yi Xiaoyan thought for a moment and decided to believe this woman's words. After all, they were trapped here, and they could be considered grasshoppers on a rope. If he didn't get the item, he would just disappear without a trace like that. It was too displeasing, he had to get this item.

"Let's make a deal!" The woman looked at the other three and said, "After you get the Lingzhi, give half to me and I will cooperate with you."

Yi Xiaoyan gave a cold snort. Half of this was too good for her. She had asked for half of this outrageous item. How was this possible!?

As if the other three were completely useless, Shang Lin snorted and said, "You're thinking too beautifully!"

Although Shang Lin was not the main participant in this matter, she knew that this item was extremely precious. How could such a precious item be handed over in such a short amount of time?

"Then …" The woman also felt that half of them would never give it to her, so she thought for a moment and said, "Then give me a quarter. That should be enough, right?" The woman's request this time wasn't too excessive.

Right now, there were four of them. If they were divided into a quarter, it would be just enough to split the loot. Yi Xiaoyan nodded. "Alright, then it's settled!"

"Then how can I trust you?" the woman asked, looking at Yi Xiaoyan blandly.

Yi Xiaoyan was speechless. She thought she should be the one to ask.

This woman had almost killed him time and time again, and now she was asking why he believed him instead. Wasn't this a little too funny?

"You don't have the right to ask this question. Instead, we should ask you, how do you make us believe you?" This woman looked very honest. Who would have thought that she would do such a shameless thing?

It was also possible that her country was such a person, and she was just one of them!

"You guys have no choice, just like me!" The woman from the island sneered and said, "Isn't it?" This woman's control over the field was very strong. She could turn the tide no matter what situation she was in and place herself in a very important position.

However, it really was like that. The few of them didn't know what was going on, so they could only wait to see how this woman would answer.

"What's your name?" Shang Lin looked at the woman and said.

Even though they were both women, Shang Lin was clearly much prettier than this Japanese woman. At the same time, Shang Lin did not have the ruthlessness from this woman's body.

"Ji, what about you?" Ji Zi looked at a few of them and said. The few people who had been irreconcilable a moment ago were now sitting together and asking each other for their names. The weirdest part was that they couldn't do anything about it.

After Yi Xiaoyan and the others recounted their names, Lin Zhihu asked, "You should tell me what went wrong. How did you get the fake item?"

Ji Zi glanced at the few of them, sighed and said, "It might be the boss above us. We never planned to sell this thing!"

Yi Xiaoyan and Shang Lin looked at each other in surprise. She did not understand what Ji Zi meant. She looked at him, and asked him to continue.

Ji Zi said, "Perhaps our boss already knows that someone is going to steal this Lingzhi, so he decided to use a fake deal. "Before the deal was done, the robbers ran in and the rest of the story was lost."

"Didn't you verify something when you came in, and you're the only one who can decipher this set of procedures!" Lin Zhihu said as he pointed to something that was thrown in the corner.

"It is impossible for a company to place its own items on a single person. This set of procedures allows us to identify a total of three masters, and one of them is our boss. Ji Zi sighed and said.

"How can there be such a shameless person!" Yi Xiaoyan cursed in frustration. She did not realize that she was the most shameless person around. He himself had come to steal something from the start, yet he still shamelessly criticized others here.

"We were also deceived. I think it was the auctioneer who swapped the items. That auctioneer went there later on. Did you see that? " Ji Zi looked at the few of them and asked.

"Yeah, where did he go afterwards?" Yi Xiaoyan suddenly realized that this person who had been acting the part of a coward had disappeared when the situation had turned into chaos. Where was this person?

It turned out that this person was the most astute among them, he had actually never realized it! At the same time, Yi Xiaoyan looked at Ji Zi and said, "Tell me what you have in mind!"

Yi Xiaoyan knew that this woman was definitely more than just a tiny bit of talent. Since she had been trained by the system, it meant that she was definitely not the only one backing her up. Both private organizations and a strong political system are based on the same background. The goal is to get something.

"We definitely can't stay in this place for too long. It would be good if we leave now, but if we really enter our boss's territory, then our identities would be exposed." With Ji Zi watching over the few of them, they all made preparations.

"I'm fine!" Shang Lin knew Ji was talking to herself, and said lightly, "Since it's already this late, it would be unkind of me to withdraw."

Ji Zi looked at the few of them, nodded, and said, "Alright. Let's go. I'll take you guys to a place. We'll hide in this place before we prepare our next plans. "

Lin Zhihu glanced at Yi Xiaoyan with a bit of caution in his eyes. Even though they had formed an alliance, he still couldn't be at ease going to her territory with her. If he really was tricked by this fellow, wouldn't he die in a useless manner?

"Let's go, we have no time to lose!" Yi Xiaoyan had always used people without any doubts. Now that they were all on the same side, disagreements only happened at the last moment. There was no need to be overly cautious.

Ji Zi knew that Yi Xiaoyan was a smart person, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go now!" After packing up, he prepared to set off.

Ji Zi was indeed someone who had been trained before. His recovery speed was fast, and now, apart from being a bit slow compared to before, his body's sensitivity had returned to its optimal level.

Lin Zhihu was driving along a street in Xiang City. By now, it was already past 10 pm, and there were almost no people on the street. Yi Xiaoyan looked at Ji Zi and asked, "Who is the real boss behind you?"

Ji Zi glanced at Yi Xiaoyan but didn't say anything.
