Chapter 578 Someone drugged him?

After Wen Ni finished speaking, the tent fell into a brief silence.

Cong Ran stared at Wen Ni without saying a word, his eyes darting around as if he were deep in thought.

Facing their gazes, Wen Ni did not flinch; she simply raised her head and met their eyes.

Bai Chong, who was kneeling beside him, was the Chinese soldier disguised as Qin Yuan. His palms were sweating, and his tense mood was constantly on edge due to the atmosphere.

After a long silence, Cong Ran paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, before finally saying, "You say you can testify, but you are a Chinese citizen. Who would believe your testimony? With just your words, you're far from enough to bring down Li Shiyan. Li Shiyan is General Dawa's nominal adopted son! He was raised by General Dawa and has done many things for him. Based on what you've said, Dawa might not believe it!"

“Words are not enough; of course I have physical evidence.”

Wen Ni lowered her eyelashes, already completely certain.

Whether what she said was true or false is not important. What is important is Cong Ran's determination to bring down Li Shiyan and make sure that Li Shiyan can never recover!

She took a glass bottle out of her bosom.

There was a label on the bottle written in Burmese.

The bottle's serial number and experimental information are clearly marked on it!

"What is this thing?" Cong Ran asked in confusion.

“There’s a Chinese woman named Ye Zhishu working for Li Shiyan. She has a laboratory that specializes in researching the coronavirus.” Wen Ni held the bottle up to both ends so Cong Ran could see it more clearly. “This is a sample of a special drug that Li Shiyan had his confidant retrieve for me from the lab!”

"His confidant?" Cong Ran narrowed his eyes and pressed, "Who did he have you get it from?"

"Blind stab".

When Blindly stabbed Qin Yuan, Wen Ni noticed the information left on the medicine bottle and kept it on her person, thinking it might come in handy. Now she actually used it.

"Blind stab?" Cong Ran frowned.

“Colonel Congran should know this person, right?” Wen Ni noticed the unusual expression on Congran’s face and added, “Blind Assassin is one of Li Shiyan’s most capable subordinates.”

“That Blind Assassin is a madman. He only ever obeys Li Shiyan’s orders.” Cong Ran stroked his chin, looking enlightened. “No wonder, no wonder! Not long ago, Li Shiyan inexplicably killed Blind Assassin. It turns out it was to cover up his leaking of the drug formula and letting you leave without permission! After all, only the dead can’t talk nonsense! What a meticulous and vicious mind! He killed someone who had followed him for so long just like that!”

"Blind stab, dead?"

Wen Ni was also taken aback when she heard the news.

[Sister, I don't want you to die. I love you more than you can imagine.]

The last time they met in the woods, the words Blind Thorn spoke were still clearly imprinted in her mind.

Were those words lies or sincerity? The truth or falsehood is no longer so important. Because doing something wrong is doing something wrong; it can never be changed, nor can it be undone!

From the very beginning, they were two completely opposite paths.

This is what he deserves, and it saves her the trouble of doing it herself.

Wen Ni lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting faint shadows.

“This matter is of great importance, and I must meet with General Dawa in person.” Cong Ran was in a good mood and reached out to help Wen Ni up. “Here’s what we’ll do: tomorrow morning you will come back to the capital with me. When you meet General Dawa, just like today, tell him everything you know!”

“Okay.” Wen Ni replied obediently.

"You can stay in the camp tonight." Cong Ran seemed friendly, but he had his own ulterior motives. "However, your identity is special after all. I will have someone specifically responsible for looking after you. Also, your friend probably can't stay in the same room as you. Is that alright?"

"I will follow Colonel Congran's arrangements." Wen Ni agreed, but added, "My friend has not fully recovered from COVID-19. After he has rested and eaten dinner, I will trouble Colonel Congran to arrange for someone to take him to the infirmary for a check-up."

"Absolutely no problem!"

Cong Ran was very generous. He turned around and ordered someone to take Wen Ni and the other person away from the camp.

Just then, he brushed past his subordinate who had gone out earlier and had just returned.

"Juying, where have you been?"

"Sir, I just had a stomachache and went to relieve myself." The subordinate, Juying, gave an awkward laugh, then, watching Wen Ni and the other woman's retreating figures, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to keep them? I think we should send them to the capital. After all, that woman is cunning and treacherous! What if…"

"Send them to the capital? Wouldn't that just send them back to Li Shiyan's nose? If he wants to destroy the evidence and silence them, my plan will be ruined. Besides, what kind of trouble can a woman cause? My camp has at least 10,000 soldiers and young men who have been conscripted. Can't we control a woman? You guys are really cowardly and paranoid!" Cong Ran said nonchalantly, boasting, "I've risen from bandit to my current position. When have I ever been defeated by a woman? As long as you keep an eye on them, nothing will happen!"

"Yes... the officer is right."

Juying gave a slight twitch of her lips, her head bowed and eyes lowered.

Along the way, whenever Wen Ni and Bai Chong passed through an open space, they could see tents set up everywhere.

The garrison camp of Cong Ran in Fu Ping is very large, but the barracks can only accommodate a few thousand people for the time being. The extra newly recruited young men can only rest in tents set up in the open space!

Inside the tent sat some men dressed in military uniforms, but who were clearly not regular soldiers; their faces were etched with numbness, exhaustion, and sorrow.

Not far from them stood an old white building, which was also where Wen Ni and the others would stay tonight.

"Go in!"

The guard unlocked the door.

As Wen Ni went inside, the sound of a padlock being locked came from outside the door.

This room is about 20 square meters and seems to have been uninhabited for a long time. It is covered in dust and has only a bed and a toilet. There are no windows, making it look like a stuffy prison cell, as if they were afraid she would run away!

There were no security cameras in the room, but when Wen Ni arrived, she noticed that the corridor was full of them. There was also a small transparent window on the door, presumably for the guards to keep an eye on her.

He paced back and forth for a while, then turned and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall...

It's still early.

Now, let's just wait patiently!

I kicked off my shoes, lay down on the bed, and closed my eyes to rest.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

It was already dark outside, and Wen Ni lay there, occasionally turning over. This made the guards responsible for monitoring her outside feel rather bored!

"Dinner time."

"Thanks."

Wen Ni was quite polite.

Looking at the steaming hot food brought to the table, Wen Ni held her chopsticks and ate with relish, not leaving a single grain of rice.

"How was it? Anything unusual this afternoon?" The captain of the guard came over to check from outside the door.

“Chinese people are all good-for-nothings; all they do is eat and sleep, they do nothing else,” the guard replied.

"That's good." The guard captain nodded and relaxed his guard a bit. "You guys can take turns eating in the mess hall later."

"OK!"

A short while after the guard captain left, just as they were about to take their turn to eat in the mess hall, they suddenly heard the clatter of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground from inside the room!

They were taken aback and quickly looked at the small window on the door.

Inside the door, bowls and chopsticks were shattered on the floor, and Wen Ni was lying on the ground, writhing in pain with her hands clutching her stomach!

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Help! Someone has drugged me..."

"What's going on?" The guard was dumbfounded.

"It's certain, someone poisoned my food and tried to kill me!" Wen Ni said painfully, a line of blood flowing down the corner of her mouth.

"Quick, open the door!" The guard hurriedly took out the key and inserted it into the lock.

Their superiors specifically instructed them that Wen Ni must not be harmed; her life is still of great use!

When the door opened, two guards rushed in to check.

A guard remained outside the door, and he jogged straight to the infirmary, shouting, "I'm going to call the doctor right now!"

"Okay, go quickly!"

Two guards entered, but dared not touch Wen Ni.

Wen Ni was soaked in sweat, with bloodstains around her mouth, and she could barely open her eyes. She looked utterly disheveled!
