Chapter 569: Death of Rum
Looking at the hung up call, Si Xuanyu sighed regretfully: "Alas, I was thinking that if Jin Mai agreed to let us help, I would blackmail her. Now we can only do it ourselves."
Shan Hai Jing showed Si Xuanyu the address of Rum he had prepared: "Xuan Xuan, shall we go get him now?"
Si Xuanyu ate the last piece of melon and said proudly: "Go!"
Perhaps knowing that he was weak, Rum made his residence like an iron barrel, making it impossible for ordinary people to get in and hurt him.
But Si Xuanyu and Shan Hai Jing are not ordinary people.
In order to move quickly, they did not bring Wu Meiying with them. One person and one spirit borrowed the power of the strange beast and ran straight to Rum in stealth. They easily slit Rum's throat as he was making sushi while thinking about how to quickly gather his forces.
When Rum sensed the danger and wanted to dodge, it was too late. He wanted to use his last breath to see who killed him, but after looking around with difficulty, he did not find anything unusual.
A name popped up in Rum's mind, Si Xuanyu.
To be honest, he couldn't figure out how he had offended Si Xuanyu. It was fine that she helped Jin Mai to suppress him, but now she was actually trying to kill him!
But Rum didn't have any more time to explore. Those thoughts just flashed through his mind in the blink of an eye. He covered the wound in vain and soon lost consciousness.
Rum has always been suspicious and doesn't trust any intelligent creatures except himself, so he has always relied on various dead objects such as traps and mechanisms to arm his residence. Even his trusted confidants have been placed outside the house, so that even if he pressed the alarm he carried with him, he could not wait for rescue.
Si Xuanyu and Shan Hai Jing did not leave immediately, but waited for a while. After making sure that Rum was dead, they calmly turned invisible and leisurely walked through Rum's confidants who came after hearing the alarm, and went to eat dessert in a good mood.
Shanhaijing was very happy. Rum's death brought him a large piece of world consciousness fragments. Now the world consciousness was about to lose control of this place. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape.
After Si Xuanyu paid the bill and praised the excellent pastry chef, he went out again: "Shanshan, next!"
The news of Rum's death quickly alarmed the organization's top leaders, and managers of the organization from all over the world contacted Karasuma Renye and Jin Mai to inquire about the details.
In the end, we just held a video conference together.
"How could Rum suddenly die in his safe house?"
"It is said that his men have not found any clues about the murderer. Who could kill Rum so quietly and brutally?"
"And there are no signs of a fight. Rum's alertness cannot be so low. What is going on?"
Senior officials from various regions asked questions eagerly.
Jin Mai, who had been summoned by Karasuma Renya, knocked on the table and said, "Can you calm down a little? You are all so flustered, one by one or two, what are you doing?"
Of course, not all of these senior executives were convinced by Jin Mai. Seeing her attitude, they snorted in dissatisfaction: "Of course you are calm. There is one less person who wants to pull you down, right? Jin Mai."
"Rum's death was suspicious. It's hard to say whether there was an insider involved."
"Jin Mai, I remember you had quite a few conflicts with Rum some time ago."
Jin Mai sneered: "How many of you here don't have conflicts with me? Aren't you all living well?"
Someone also stepped forward to smooth things over: "Stop arguing, the focus now is to find the murderer who killed Rum. This is definitely a provocation to our organization! We can't let this go easily!"
"Have you heard of any new masters emerging recently?"
"There are many new killers, but none of them can do this."
"Not to mention the new ones, even the old ones can't do this."
"Not necessarily. I do have some unscientific powers here, but those people had no reason to kill Rum. Could they have been hired by someone?"
"Speaking of unscientific powers, the heir of the Si Group seems to be somewhat mysterious."
