Butler Zhenqiao smirked: "Back then, the Alliance Leader specifically asked me to develop that poison so that he could easily control you with it. Therefore, the antidote for this poison must be extracted from the serum of those he controls. Of course, I had already injected the contents of that serum into them beforehand, and they themselves were unaware of it."

Gu Momo's face suddenly turned cold: "Heh, you've put so much effort into an antidote, why should I believe what you're saying is true? Besides, I haven't even interrogated you yet, and you're just telling me the news like this?"

She had a vague premonition that the housekeeper, Zhenqiao, probably had ulterior motives for telling her and Li Zhanting this information.

No, he shouldn't be called Zhenqiao Butler now.

Instead, we should call him by that familiar name again: Grandpa Qiao!

"That depends on your courage, Gu Momo!" Grandpa Qiao's eyes were full of contempt, and the kind and gentle look he had when he saved Gu Momo was nowhere to be seen. "For example, in order to use Lin Wan'er to restrain Li Zhanfeng, we specially injected that special drug into Lin Wan'er's blood. You can extract one of the antidote components from Lin Wan'er's blood."

Li Zhanting said coldly, "What about the others?"

Grandpa Qiao smiled, a fierce glint hidden in his deep eyes: "Similarly, Dong Bihua, who has been opposing you at every turn, was also injected with one of the ingredients of the antidote. Because the leader of the alliance saw through Dong Bihua's ambition and wanted to use her to deal with you, but Dong Bihua was not a member of the Emperor Killing Alliance after all, so the leader of the alliance was afraid that she would side with Gu Momo, so he injected her with it as well."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Momo's fingers suddenly gripped Grandpa Qiao's neck, her face turning cold.

"Speak! Are there any other people? Tell us everything!"

Grandpa Qiao stared at Gu Momo's familiar yet unfamiliar face, his eyes filled with nothing but a sinister grin.

Think back to when he was ordered by the alliance leader to save Gu Momo. Gu Momo was so good to him back then.

The way Gu Momo treats him now is enough to show that Gu Momo is a rational person!

The more rational a person is like her, the more the leader of the alliance fears her!

"Alright! I'll tell you!" Grandpa Qiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he named dozens of people in a row. These were all people who had posed a threat to Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, but some of them were in the business world and some were in other industries.

But almost every one of them had once held a high position!

Li Zhanting clearly wrote down all the names, a dangerous smile creeping into his deep eyes: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you won't have an easy time here."

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Qiao burst into arrogant laughter: "I've already been captured by you, of course I have to think about myself, not the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance! Go ahead and go find these people to extract the antidote ingredients!"

His piercing eyes showed no fear, but rather arrogance and stubbornness.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting narrowed their eyes at the same time, feeling that Grandpa Qiao was acting a little too strangely these days.

"Okay, let's go get it first. If there are any problems, we'll come back and settle the score with you!" After saying that, Li Zhanting quickly grabbed Gu Momo's hand and left. The prison door slammed shut, once again locking Grandpa Qiao in endless darkness.

In the dark space, Grandpa Qiao's aged face darkened visibly.

His lips were tightly pressed together, and his aged eyes revealed a sharp look. His feet tapped lightly on the ground.

This was actually a signal used by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance for clandestine communication, utilizing underground equipment for long-distance signal transmission.

This also serves as a notification to the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance—that he has accomplished his mission perfectly!

Outside the basement, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting said goodbye to the director before turning to leave.

Gu Momo carefully recalled what Grandpa Qiao had just said and his arrogant expression, and felt uneasy.

She frowned and said, "Zhan Ting, don't you think Grandpa Qiao's actions this time are a bit strange?"

Now is the crucial moment for their decisive battle against the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Logically speaking, Grandpa Qiao would never provide them with such important information, since Mom is a key piece of leverage the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has against them!

If Grandpa Qiao told them the answer like this, then the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has lost a bargaining chip.

“It is indeed a bit strange.” Li Zhanting’s thin lips curled slightly. “Then can we interpret it this way: they told us the answer either because they wanted to use us to get rid of those people, or because they wanted to poison your mother, or perhaps… to divert our attention, or they have other plans.”

Gu Momo pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's leave this matter to Wanrou and Zhanfeng for now, and discuss the specific arrangements when we get back. The situation is critical right now, so it's best if we don't leave L Country!"

"I agree with Momo's idea; this is the safest approach!"

As soon as Li Zhanting finished speaking, Gu Momo suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on her.

That gaze seemed to transcend the distant past, making Gu Momo strongly feel its presence!

She quickly turned her head and saw a figure in a black robe disappearing rapidly into the forest not far away!

The dark figure and the familiar mask with the spider lily pattern instantly brought Gu Momo's emotions to their peak.

"The leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance? What's he doing here?!" A cold glint flashed in Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's eyes. The two quickly got on their motorcycles and followed. In the uneven forest, the motorcycles were moving at an astonishing speed.

But the dark figure ran faster and faster, and finally disappeared from sight somewhere.

"He got away!" Gu Momo and Li Zhanting immediately got off the motorcycle and checked the surrounding terrain.

Sure enough, near the steep slope, they found a bottomless cave, which seemed to be the place where the man had escaped.

Li Zhanting's deep eyes narrowed slightly: "The situation down below is unclear; we can't continue chasing after them."

But something is strange: why is the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance here?

Moreover, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance could easily send anyone to track down such matters, so why did the Alliance Leader have to come in person?

Gu Momo immediately suggested, "Let's go back and find the director first, and see if we can find out anything!"

This matter is of great importance. The location where Grandpa Joe is being held has been discovered, and the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department are very likely to be ambushed!

Those people have been driven to the brink of desperation and are capable of anything, so we have to be on guard!

Soon, the director received messages from Gu Momo and Li Zhanting and rushed over to meet them.

As soon as the three met, Li Zhanting couldn't wait to ask, "Chief, after Grandpa Qiao was imprisoned here, did your men notice anything unusual? Also, Chief, are you sure this location is confidential?"
