"What secret?" Shen Rui's voice trembled a little, "Is it about the secret of the dragon fountain?"

Cao Tai nodded solemnly. "Yes."

"Young Master," Shen Rui also knelt down towards Cao Tai, "This is a very serious matter, you have to think twice!" He was trying to take advantage of the situation, but this cunning man was still trying to squeeze Cao Tai's trust in him.

"In this world," Cao Tai said to Shen Rui, "the only person I can trust is you."

"Young Master, thank you." Shen Rui's voice sounded like he was crying, but his expression was twisted. He was enduring and holding back the joy in his heart.

It was fake, everything was fake. His wife, his identity, as well as the so-called 'Magus invasion', all these scams were all for this moment to come.

"The location of the Cao family's dragon fountain is in the northeast." Cao Tai said.

"En!" Shen Rui nodded strongly. Go on, go on!

Cao Tai grabbed Shen Rui's shoulder with his hand and slowly pulled his body towards his.

"The location of the dragon vein is —" Cao Tai's voice became softer and softer.

Shen Rui took the initiative to press his ear against his, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Where is it?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out in the tunnel.

"Ha, haha, hahahaha!" What followed was waves of Cao Tai's laughter.

"Young, Young Master!" Shen Rui used a hand to cover his ears, his face filled with pain and panic. "Are you crazy! "Young Master!" He even forgot to lower his voice.

"Haha, hahaha!" Cao Tai opened his mouth and laughed heartily. His mouth was filled with blood, but that blood was not his own.

"Madman, you madman!" Shen Rui shouted at Cao Tai! Half of his ear had been bitten off by Cao Tai, and the piece of flesh that had been bitten off by Cao Tai had already been swallowed into his stomach.

Unknowingly, a fork appeared in Cao Tai's hand, but there was no light in the tunnel, Shen Rui did not notice Cao Tai's actions.

By the time he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, it was already too late.

Cao Tai pressed Shen Rui to the ground with one hand and held onto the fork with the other hand. He stabbed the fork into Shen Rui's abdomen, then twisted it forcefully. He secretly left this fork after Shen Rui delivered the food to him. He said that the fork was lost, but Shen Rui did not suspect anything. In the following time, Cao Tai polished the tip of the trident on the floor, causing it to become even sharper.

"You, when did you discover it?" Shen Rui who was lying on the ground asked. After asking, he popped a pill into his mouth.

"About a month." Cao Tai replied. This undoubtedly meant that not long after Shen Rui brought him here, Cao Tai found out.

"Is there a flaw somewhere?" Shen Rui felt that he had done very well, how could Cao Tai see through his plans.

"Food," Cao Tai said. "There's something wrong with the food you sent me."

"Yes, yes?" Shen Rui's chest continued to rise and fall.

"If your wife was a normal housewife, how could the food she cooked be so delicate?" As the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Tai enjoying life was the biggest ability he had in his previous life.

"So that's how it is." Shen Rui's face revealed a smile. In order to make it look real, the dishes offered to Cao Tai were personally cooked by the woman who played his wife. She indeed had excellent acting skills, but at the same time, her cooking skills were just too good. It wasn't something that a full-time housewife who had to take care of her children and her husband would cook. She had chosen too good a dish and too delicate a cooking method.

All of these were tasted by Cao Tai, the Cao family's Eldest Young Master who was previously intoxicated with money. Even Cao Tai did not expect that the one who saved him in the end was his rotten past.

"Why didn't you fight back?" It was Cao Tai's turn to ask Shen Rui.

Shen Rui's face slowly turned pale: "I can't hurt you."

"I was born to be a lowly person. However, you are different. Your life is much more important than mine." Shen Rui's voice was also becoming fainter and fainter. The fatal thing was not Cao Tai's attack, but the poison he had ingested. The poison had completely extinguished his desire to live, and at the same time, severed any thoughts of him harming Cao Tai.

Shen Rui weakly lifted one of his arms. The poison's effects was acting up too quickly, causing his life force to wither quickly. At the same time, a mirage appeared before his eyes.

Just as Shen Rui was about to touch the illusion in the air, his arm shrank back a little. Even if it was just a mirage, it was still a person that a lowly person like him should not touch.

"Miss," Shen Rui looked at the illusion in front of him in a daze, "Please forgive your incompetent Shen." Tears were welling up in his eyes.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes to Shen Rui's temples, and his hands drooped down powerlessly.

Shen Rui was dead.

Cao Tai's right hand was still holding onto the fork and this fork had pierced into Shen Rui's abdomen, but he did not feel the slightest bit of pleasure. Shen Rui was one of Ding Ling's subordinates, so his loyalty was just a facade. Cao Tai had already thought of this a long time ago.

But he never thought that Shen Rui would be loyal to such an extent, and there wasn't the slightest bit of falsehood in it.

Could it be that Ding Ling, a woman with a lowly background, was more loyal than him, the young master of Cao family? Shen Rui used his death to answer Cao Tai's questions.

Shen Rui would rather die than to hurt Ding Ling's important chess piece, so he also believed that even if she died, Cao Tai would not be able to escape from the palm of Ding Ling's hand.

Cao Tai pulled out the fork from Shen Rui's stomach, and then, he began to search the corpse.

Through his conversation with Shen Rui, he had obtained a critical piece of information — — There was someone who wanted to know the secret of the dragon bloodline. The person who needed this secret was undoubtedly his family, a member of the Cao family.

Cao Tai already understood his own situation, he definitely could not contact the Cao family, once he contacts the Beiping, the assassin will arrive faster than reinforcements.

No one would come to save him, so he had to fight alone.

Cao Tai grabbed his fork, his only weapon. From the body, he found some paper money. This was all he had at his disposal.

And his opponent was Ding Long's daughter, who controlled the entire Coastal City's underworld.

From the moment he was born, Cao Tai, who had always held a huge advantage, fell into a lowly situation.

But he had yet to admit defeat.

Cao Tai clenched his fork tightly and walked into the darkness.
