Born in the 58s

Rong Jiaojiao's soul was mistakenly taken by a soul-reaper. After negotiating with him and receiving a series of compensations, she was ready to be reborn after drinking Meng Po's soup. How...

Chapter 132 Assassination

"What is this?" Dr. Hu asked in a deep voice, a hint of anger in his eyes.

The woman was immobilized after Qing Xuanzi struck her acupoints. Because her mouth had been open for so long, saliva dripped down her face, making her look quite unsightly.

Unable to speak, she could only respond with her eyes, her gaze filled with despair.

Qing Xuanzi said coldly, "This is poison, intended to assassinate Vice Commander Rong. When the assassination failed, she tried to swallow it to commit suicide."

Dr. Hu's expression became even more serious, and he immediately turned around and went out to report.

Just then, a nurse came in and saw that Xiaotian's body was stiff and motionless, and blood was still dripping from his hands.

But seeing that the atmosphere in the ward was not right, she didn't say much. After looking around, she found that only the nurse surnamed Tian was bleeding. She went to stop the bleeding, bandaged her up, and quickly left.

A moment later, several steady footsteps sounded at the door, and then a burly officer in military uniform with a serious face walked in with two guards.

As soon as he entered the room, he surveyed it with an air of authority before walking directly to Rong Lianhu's bedside and asking with concern, "Deputy Commander Rong, how are you?"

Although Rong Lianhu was still very weak, seeing that the person who came had a higher military rank than him and was concerned about him, he tried to sit up straight and said softly, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, leader."

The newcomer nodded, turned his gaze to Qing Xuanzi and Fu Ya, and introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Zihao, a staff officer in the field army. I have heard about this matter, and I thank you for your timely discovery. Please leave the rest to us."

Rong Lianhu nodded, Qing Xuanzi remained silent, but this Staff Officer Zhao steered the conversation toward him.

"I heard it was this comrade who knew something dangerous would happen inside even before entering the room. How did you know that?"

Qing Xuanzi didn't want to explain too much. He produced a talisman and tossed it lightly. The talisman landed on Rong Lianhu, and in the next instant, everyone felt as if a gentle breeze had swept by.

Looking at Rong Lianhu, he was completely clean. Even the bloodstains on the bandages and gauze had disappeared, leaving him looking brand new, as if new gauze had just been applied.

This Staff Officer Zhao was clearly knowledgeable. He said, "So you're a member of the Xuanmen sect, that's not surprising."

Qing Xuanzi nodded, offering no further explanation.

He asked, "Could I ask this nurse a few questions first?"

Staff Officer Zhao thought for a moment and nodded: "Go ahead and ask!"

Qing Xuanzi placed a truth-telling talisman on the nurse, which released her from her immobilization.

As soon as the nurse was free, she wanted to attack the person who came, but she was immediately bound by Qing Xuanzi's magic and fell to the ground like a cicada pupa, wriggling and arching.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Qing Xuanzi was filled with resentment. How could this person be so hateful?

She wanted to take action against Staff Officer Zhao to pressure them, hoping they would kill her, but she never expected that this person would ruin her plans again.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You won't get any information out of me."

Qing Xuanzi ignored her provocation and slowly asked, "Why did you kill Rong Lianhu?"

“Because he deserves to die. He arrested my superior. If he can’t withstand the interrogation, we’re in trouble.”

This is the nurse's honest opinion; she didn't mean to keep quiet.

"Then what's the point of killing Rong Lianhu?"

The nurse pursed her lips, not wanting to speak, but she couldn't control herself and blurted out, "My target is the person they captured, but he's too heavily guarded, and I don't have a chance. I want to kill Rong Lianhu first to create chaos and see if I can kill that person."

"Aren't you a nurse? Giving injections isn't your job, so how come you don't have the opportunity?"

The nurse wished she could bite her tongue to shut up, but she couldn't help herself and replied, "He is a key patient under monitoring, and the head nurse personally administers his injections and medications."

The nurse was terrified and angry. Why did this happen? She didn't want to talk about it, but she couldn't control herself.

His gaze was fixed intently on Qing Xuanzi: [It was him, it was him again.]

Thinking of the interrogation she would face, her eyes turned fierce, as if she wanted to bite Qing Xuanzi to death.

Ignoring her anger, Qing Xuanzi continued, "When did you plan to kill Rong Lianhu?"

"This morning."

No wonder, no wonder he couldn't tell anything wrong from Rong Lianhu's appearance when he came to see him this morning.

Qing Xuanzi got the gist of it and stopped asking, because asking any more questions would lead to state secrets.

He said to Staff Officer Zhao, "I've finished asking her questions. She has half an hour left to tell the truth. Perhaps you can make use of that."

Staff Officer Zhao immediately waved his hand, and two guards rushed forward and dragged the nurse away.

After giving Qing Xuanzi a meaningful look, Staff Officer Zhao said, "Thank you for your help, Master. I'll go take care of things first. We can talk about any issues later."

Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly. This person's attitude changed quite quickly. Before, he kept calling him "comrade," but now he's calling him "master."

Staff Officer Zhao had his guard take the nurse to an empty ward and began questioning her. As for what he asked, Qing Xuanzi wasn't interested in knowing. He set up a protective barrier and then asked, "Lian Hu, how come you're on a mission with the field army?"

Rong Lianhu said, "The spies I followed previously uncovered a lot of connections, both upstream and downstream. I've been following up on them, which is why this joint mission came about."

Without needing to say much, Qing Xuanzi probably understood. The reason stemmed from when Rong Jiaojiao discovered the spy just before the Lunar New Year two years ago.

I never imagined that Rong Lianhu would track me down for a year and almost kill himself. It's true that fortune and misfortune are intertwined!

Seeing that Rong Jiaojiao had fallen asleep again, she said to the couple, "Jiaojiao really saved your life today."

Both of them were startled. Rong Lianhu asked, "What happened?"

Fu Ya also asked, "Could it be that Jiaojiao is having another nightmare?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded and recounted the process. Fu Ya put her hands together in a prayerful gesture: "Thank God, we are fortunate to have Jiaojiao and Brother Qingxuan here, otherwise we would have lost Lianhu."

Rong Lianhu also looked lingering fear. He looked at Qing Xuanzi and said gratefully, "Brother Qing Xuan, we owe you so much this time. And Jiaojiao, that child is truly my lucky star."

Qing Xuanzi shook his head slightly: "It's because Jiaojiao is connected to you by blood that she keeps dreaming that you are in danger."

Fu Ya nodded, gently stroking Rong Jiaojiao's hair, her eyes full of affection.

Rong Lianhu asked in bewilderment, "You mean Jiaojiao dreamed about me having an accident more than just today?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded and recounted the nightmare Rong Jiaojiao had experienced.

After hearing this, Rong Lianhu's face showed shock and relief.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes: "I wonder if this ability will have any negative effects on her."

Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "I guess it's probably not. It's probably just because she's connected to you by blood, so she can sense the danger you're facing."
