Yuan Shuo frowned as he looked at her box of things.

"Didn't you say you'd throw it away?"

Yuan Meng took out a syringe filled with blue medicine and said with a smile.

"I threw it away, but I secretly picked it up again."

“…” Yuan Shuo sighed, knowing that this woman was never truly obedient.

Yuan Meng took the medicine to He Lina and said with a grin.

"This is a venom extracted from an animal in the rainforest. When injected into the bloodstream, it makes your blood feel as hot as lava. I've used it three times, and each time the effect was fantastic. How about... you try it too?"

He Lina glanced at what was in her hand but didn't pay it any attention.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

She was unlucky to fall into their hands, but no one could expect her to betray her master.

"Then I'll scare you a little." Yuan Meng picked up the syringe and prepared to stab the person's arm.

He Lina suddenly moved, preparing to snatch the things from her hands and then take her hostage.

However, with his hands bound, he was already not very agile, and when he encountered a master like Yuan Meng, he was subdued on the ground in just a few seconds.

Yuan Meng injected the medicine into her vein, "You think you can fight back and capture me with just these two tricks? When I was out in the world, you were still breastfeeding."

He Lina has thin calluses on certain areas of her hands, which are a result of frequent use of guns, but her fighting skills... well, that's why she's not very durable.

She is proficient in combat, martial arts, and ninjutsu; if she wants someone dead, she can kill them even with her bare hands.

Yuan Meng handed the syringe to her subordinate, checked the time, and waited with a smile for the drug to take effect.

"Do you feel a little feverish? Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

He Lina didn't believe at first that the medicine in her hand was poisonous, but she soon felt her whole body getting hotter and hotter, as if she had been thrown into a furnace.

She rolled on the ground in pain, gradually letting out cries of agony.

Yuan Meng watched coldly as she recounted her story.

"Don't worry, this dosage won't kill you. It will only make you suffer for a while, and then your skin will become drier and drier, eventually peeling off in patches of dead skin..."

"You...you..." He Lina was drenched in sweat and unable to utter a single word in her pain.

Yuan Meng crossed her arms and watched, waiting for the effects of the medicine to wear off. Some people wouldn't be willing to speak unless they experienced some hardship.

Although the attack only lasted for ten minutes, He Lina felt as if she had died once.

Yuan Meng squatted down and looked at the woman who was curled up on the ground in a disheveled state.

"So, are you interested in telling me who ordered you to do this?"

He Lina took deep breaths, and after catching her breath, she gritted her teeth and groaned.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Okay, let's continue playing." Yuan Meng had someone inject her with the antidote.

Then, he took out another vial of medicine.

"That was just the beginner level of my collection. There are many more. You'll have the chance to experience them all without even asking."

Yuan Shuo stood to the side and whispered a reminder to her.

"Can't we try a different approach?"

"What other way? Kneel down and beg her to tell me?" Yuan Meng asked, amused.

Yuan Shuo turned around and walked a few steps away, too lazy to look at her and ask for information.

Less than an hour later, Yuan Meng came out to find him with a beaming smile.

"nailed it."

"Did you find out who ordered her?" Yuan Shuo pressed.

Yuan Meng nodded, "I found out, but... she's not an easy target."
