"Not good, that thing is poisonous." Zhu Yipin smelled the scent of the sachet and felt that it was very similar to the red flower outside the inn yesterday. He hurriedly covered his nose.
However, it was too late. Chen Anan had already caught the sachet and said angrily,"" You damn vixen! How dare you throw something at me! I'll kill you today!" Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Anan fainted from the poison.
Zhao Buzhu hurriedly went to help him up, but when he smelled the scent of the sachet, he also fainted on the ground.
Everything happened too quickly. Zhu Yipin didn't even have time to react before two people fainted.
By the time Zhou Jie and the others settled Chen Anan and Zhao Buzhu down, the lady boss had already disappeared.
The few of them came to the place where the lady boss disappeared and found a secret passage on the ground. The four of them didn't have time to think. They took out a fire lighter, blew up the flames, and jumped down.
The secret passage extended in all directions, and it was impossible to see one's own fingers. The weak light from the torch alone could not shine too far.
"The terrain here is too complicated. It's easy for unfamiliar people to get lost.”Zhou Jie looked at the environment here and could not help but think of the movie " Tunnel Warfare " he had watched before. It seemed that the ability to dig tunnels had been passed down since ancient times!
"Why don't we split up and search? It's not a good idea to stay here forever."
"Are you a pig? The Lady Boss must know this place very well by hiding here. If we split up and look for them, won't they be able to attack one by one?”Zhou Jie was really speechless at Zhu Yipin's stupid idea. Ever since they entered the tunnel, they had been going around in circles. They could not even tell where they were. They still dared to separate. Did they think they were tired of living?
Zhu Yipin couldn't tolerate being insulted. He retorted," Then what do you think we should do? We can't just stay here and let the other party escape!”
This time, Zhou Jie was speechless. After all, the original novel only talked about the development of the incident. It did not mention how to go through the tunnel.
Everyone suddenly entered an endless loop. Separating might lead to danger, but if they did not separate, they would not be able to find the person.
"Mom, he's not Tong Tong."
A voice broke the deadlock.
"It seems to be Tong Tong's voice. Let's follow him and take a look.”Zhou Jie waited for a long time. He was worried that this place was too far away from where Tong Tong used to live and could not hear her voice. Now, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and rushed over in the direction of the sound.
The few of them followed the sound and searched all the way. Finally, after turning three or four intersections, they arrived at a place with a larger space.
There were some old furniture inside, and there were a few pieces of wood on the ground to prevent collapse. Although the environment was a little harsh, it was barely habitable.
At this moment, Tong Tong was pushing a woman. However, the woman was delirious. No matter what Tong Tong said, she was playing with the baby in her arms.
Zhu Yipin saw the woman's appearance clearly and could not help but exclaim,"Isn't she the one who stole the child on the boat the day we came to Spring Wind Town?”
"Wait a minute." Zhu Yipin seemed to have thought of something. He stared at the woman for a long time and muttered to himself,"Yao Siniang, known as Immortal Yao Lan in the pugilistic world. Ever since he joined our Boat Club, he had made many outstanding achievements. Later, he concealed his identity and married into the Liang family of Spring Breeze Town. After that, his entire family was exterminated by the East Chamber.”
Yang Yuxuan finally remembered that he had been to Spring Breeze Town before. It was he who had led his men to destroy the Liang family. At that time, he had seen Tong Tong, but because he was afraid of blood, he had accidentally let her escape.
"It's her. I didn't expect there to be a fish that escaped the net.”
Yang Yuxuan's voice startled Yao Siniang. Although she was already delirious, the hatred of her family's destruction was deeply imprinted in her heart. She recognized Yang Yuxuan as soon as she saw him.
Yao Siniang picked up a stone and threw it at Yang Yuxuan.
Yao Si 'niang was no match for Yang Yuxuan when she was awake, let alone now that she had gone mad and could only use less than 80% of her power.
Yang Yuxuan easily dodged the stone, but when he turned around, he found that Yao Siniang had already run away.
Yang Yuxuan was about to give chase, but he was stopped by Zhu Yipin.
"I'm just following orders." Yang Yuxuan knew what Zhu Yipin wanted to say, but he had his own reasons. Some things were not up to him to decide.
"Old Zhu, I know what you want to say, but there are some things you don't understand. It's better if you don't say it so that everyone won't feel awkward.”Zhou Jie knew that Yang Yuxuan was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. As a special agent of the East Chamber, the helplessness in his heart was not something that an ordinary person like Zhu Yipin could understand.
Zhu Yipin didn't say anything more after hearing Zhou Jie's words, but he still looked at Yang Yuxuan with a distant gaze. After all, killing a family of dozens of people, not even letting the children off, was too cruel for ordinary people.
Zhou Jie sighed. How could he not see that Zhu Yipin was estranged from Yang Yuxuan? Although he felt a little unfair for Yang Yuxuan, it was difficult to change Zhu Yipin's mind at the moment. He could only wait until the two of them understood each other.
Yang Yuxuan was frustrated. He pulled Tong Tong up and said,"Tell me where your mother went.”
"What are you doing!" Liu Ruoxin hit Yang Yuxuan's hand with the scabbard.
Liu Ruoxin used her full strength in desperation. Although Yang Yuxuan was not injured, his hand was numb from the impact and he couldn't help but let go.
Liu Ruoxin shielded Tongtong behind her and glared at Yang Yuxuan.""You're scaring the child."
Zhu Yipin couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed forward and pushed Yang Yuxuan away."Yang Yuxuan, you have already killed dozens of her family members. Do you want to kill even the children?”
At this point, Zhou Jie didn't know where to start even if he wanted to.
"It really is you." Liu Ruoxin still couldn't believe it. She pointed at Yang Yuxuan and asked Tongtong,""Tong Tong, do you know that person?”
"It was him. He killed my father and my grandfather.”Tong Tong seemed to recall the time when Yang Yuxuan led his men into the house and killed everyone he saw. He only cried in the end.
Liu Ruoxin herself had her family killed, so she was deeply moved by Tong Tong's background. Seeing Tong Tong crying so sadly, Liu Ruoxin couldn't hold it in anymore. She pulled out the Dragon Scale Art and said,""I'll kill you for Tong Tong now.”
"Killing them is my mission. If they don't die, my mission won't be completed.”Yang Yuxuan naturally didn't want to sit still and wait for death. He drew his saber and was about to fight Liu Ruoxin.
Seeing that the two of them were going to fight with their lives, Zhou Jie took advantage of the fact that the two of them had yet to make a move and pulled out his Qingfeng sword. He pushed aside the swords and stood in between the two of them in a flash and said,"We can discuss things. Why use knives and guns!”
"That's right, that's right. We're all on the same side, so we can't have internal strife.”Zhu Yipin also reacted at this time. He hurriedly helped Zhou Jie to stop the fight." I'm also your mission. Didn't you not kill me?" So, can't you just treat them as if they're dead and let them go?”"It's not that I want to let you go," Yang Yuxuan snorted coldly."It's just that the factory master didn't give the order, so I didn't do anything. It's not just me, there are others who think the same!”Yang Yuxuan glanced at Liu Ruoxin. Zhu Yipin looked at Liu Ruoxin in disbelief, hoping that she could deny it. However, Liu Ruoxin avoided Zhu Yipin's eyes guiltily. Zhu Yipin immediately understood what she was thinking, and his heart sank. He didn't expect that their friendship over the past few months would not be able to withstand an order. " Don't fight amongst yourselves. Everyone, calm down." Zhou Jie didn't expect things to get more and more complicated. Before Yang Yuxuan and Liu Ruoxin could persuade him, Zhu Yipin was involved again.
"Who's on his side? "He killed Tong Tong's entire family. I'm going to kill him now and avenge Tong Tong.”Liu Ruoxin was even angrier when she heard Zhou Jie mentioning the past. She stared at Yang Yuxuan without any intention of stopping.
"You still have the cheek to talk about me. Do you dare not kill when your adoptive father asks you to?”Yang Yuxuan had tolerated Liu Ruoxin for a long time. Everyone here could say that he was cruel, but Liu Ruoxin couldn't. Because both of their hands were stained with blood, neither of them had any reason to blame the other. "The people my foster father asked me to kill were all bad people. I won't kill the innocent like you.”Liu Ruoxin trusted Wang Zhi very much and couldn't bear to hear others speak ill of him. But was that really the case? If Wang Zhi was really such a benevolent person, he would have been killed by Cao Shaoqin long ago. Why would he let the East and West Chambers fight each other for so many years?
Seeing that the two of them were still unwilling to give up, Zhou Jie could not help but shout,"Enough! Now that he's dead, is there any point in continuing to fight? Couldn't he think of a way to make up for it?”
"Make up for it?" Liu Ruoxin sneered as if she heard something funny,""How can we make up for it if he kills everyone?”
"Of course you can." Zhou Jie pressed down Liu Ruoxin's sword and said to her,""Tong Tong still has a mother alive. As long as we cure her and let her live a good life with Tong Tong, this will be the best compensation for Tong Tong.”
When Tong Tong heard that he could cure his mother's illness, he stopped crying and held Zhou Jie's hand."Big brother, I don't want revenge. As long as my mother can recover, I beg you to cure my mother's illness.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure your mother.”Zhou Jie squatted down and rubbed Tong Tong's hair tenderly.
Perhaps it was because he had received Zhou Jie's guarantee, Tong Tong's emotions were much calmer.
Yang Yuxuan stood silently at the side. He was at war with himself. On one hand, he sympathized with Tong Tong and wanted to agree to Zhou Jie's proposal. On the other hand, he had been taught by the East Military Department to put his mission first and not to carry personal feelings.
Zhou Jie saw that Yang Yuxuan did not say a word, so he could guess the conflict in his heart. He did not know how to persuade him. Perhaps he would just have to wait until he figured it out.
Zhou Jie sighed and said gently to Tong Tong,"Tong Tong, show me the way. We'll go find your mother when we get out.”
Tong Tong had lived underground for several years and was very familiar with this place. It did not take long for them to return to the surface. However, there were several entrances and exits in the underground tunnel. Everyone went in a different direction from Yao Si 'niang. For a moment, they did not know where Yao Si' niang had gone.
"Why don't we go to Tong Tong's house to take a look first? Maybe we can find something.”Zhou Jie was also very distressed. Yao Si 'niang was a lunatic now. How could a normal person know where a lunatic would go?
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. This was also a method that had no other choice. It was better than burying their heads in searching blindly.
