"Fine, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences?" Jiang Dong wasn't in a hurry. "Then I'll just have to follow the procedure."

The drunk man panicked a little, "What's the procedure?"

"Naturally, it's a process to force you to tell the truth. Someone, feed them the madam's medicine."

Several bodyguards immediately came in and forced the two men to drink the medicine.

"What is this... cough cough cough..."

"It's something that will make you wish you were dead." Jiang Dong smirked. "Your partner, Ah Cai, endured it, and I believe you can too. Keep it up, I have faith in you."

The two: "..."

Every now and then, the medicine would take effect.

"Ah—ahhh—"

The two struggled in agony, screaming their hearts out, feeling as if they were living a life worse than death.

Jiang Dong covered his ears and stared blankly at their miserable state.

"I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!" The drunk man was on the verge of collapse. "What is this thing?!"

“This is a poison…” the pharmaceutical man said with difficulty, “made from various poisons… Ah… it won’t kill you, but it will make you… wish you were dead… Ah—”

"It hurts so much, I feel so awful—" The drunken man couldn't take it anymore and pleaded, "Let me go! Let me go! I'll tell you everything! Ah! Please, please let me go—"

Jiang Dong gave a wink to the bodyguard beside him, who immediately stepped forward and gave him the antidote.

"I knew you were self-aware," Jiang Dong chuckled. "But let me warn you beforehand, I have the most advanced lie detector here. If you dare to lie to me and get caught, I'll immediately stop questioning you and give you double the dosage of medication. Don't blame me then..."

"Don't worry, I... I'll definitely tell the truth!"

"That's for the best."

The antidote took effect quickly, relieving the drunken man's pain and itching, allowing him to breathe in some fresh air comfortably.

The pharmaceutical worker warned anxiously, "Gangzi, you dare betray the boss! He won't let you get away with this! Ah—"

"If you're so amazing, can you even concoct an antidote to relieve the poison in your own body?!" The drunken man was furious. "If you were that powerful, Qiao Wanwan would have died at your hands long ago. They would be too busy with their funeral arrangements to bother arresting me!"

Jiang Dong frowned and slapped him across the face!

"Smack!"

The drunk man was knocked to the side, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth!

Jiang Dong stared at him coldly, "You dare to curse our lady? You're asking for death! Guards, feed him poison!"

The drunken man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "No! I was wrong! No! I beg you! Ugh..."

The bodyguard quickly fed him poison and tortured him for half an hour amidst his painful pleas before giving him the antidote again.

"Gangzi..." The pharmaceutical man, already drenched in sweat and pale-faced from the torture, weakly spoke, "Even if you tell the truth, they won't let you go. Once you tell them everything you know, they... ah—they will definitely kill you..."

The drunken man looked even worse, his complexion even more grotesque than the pharmaceutical man. He leaned wearily against the back of his chair, muttering, "Stop talking nonsense! Even death is better than this living hell..."

The bodyguard quickly connected the lie detector, and Jiang Dong asked, "You two have been kept in the city by your boss, waiting for an opportunity to strike, right?"

"Yes, I just said that."

"When did he give you the order to go to the rooftop and shoot my wife?"

“A few days before the incident, the boss called, very angry, and told me to find a way to kill Zhan Jingting and Qiao Wanwan. Your security is so tight, not even a fly can get in here, what can I do?” The drunk man’s lips twitched as he said, “Luckily, I had already scouted the area. You probably didn’t have enough manpower, and this building across the street wasn’t under your control, so I went to the top floor of the building to observe a few times and found that I could shoot at the hotel’s rooftop. So I went up there with my gun and waited for my chance.”

"Originally, I was just trying my luck. Since you guys were so well-prepared, it was impossible that we hadn't noticed this place. I didn't expect that handsome guy would actually come up here. I knew he was Zhan Jingting's nephew, and I thought that killing him would be enough to explain to my boss, so I opened fire."

"After firing the shot, I didn't rush to leave, thinking I'd wait and see. Unexpectedly, Qiao Wanwan showed up. Wasn't this a golden opportunity? It's just a pity that even with my excellent marksmanship, I couldn't overcome the incompetence of my teammate; the poison he made was completely ineffective..."

"Shut up!" The pharmaceutical worker, on the verge of a breakdown, yelled at the top of his lungs, "You bastard, how dare you betray the boss! He won't let you get away with this, you bastard! Ah—"

Unable to bear the pain, he cried out and fainted!

The room finally quieted down.

“Who said it can’t be killed?” Jiang Dong said coldly. “Your teammates are already very capable. This poison is something that most people wouldn’t be able to detect at first. The gunshot wound plus the poison almost took our young master’s life! Fortunately, our lady gave Zhan Yin a life-saving pill beforehand.”

The drunk man rolled his eyes. "So, he's actually somewhat useful."

Jiang Dong glanced at the unconscious pharmaceutical worker and asked, "Is he a professional toxicologist?"

"I guess so. I heard he's an expert in pharmacology. He got into an argument with someone and poisoned their family of five, killing them all. He was sentenced to death, but my boss saved him, so he's been working for my boss ever since."

Jiang Dong: "......"

"Is your boss here specifically to pick up death row inmates and recruit them for his own use? And what crime did you commit?"

The drunk man seemed hesitant to speak, "Can I not say?"

"cannot."

"......robbery."

"Beep beep beep!"

He had barely opened his mouth when the lie detector went off with an alarm!

Jiang Dong scoffed, "Looks like you want to keep taking poison. I'll grant your wish."

"No, no, no!" The drunk man immediately resigned himself to his fate. "I'll tell you, I... I forced women, and... I'm a repeat offender..."

Jiang Dong: "......"

"You were also sentenced to death?"

“No, although my boss can spend money to pull some strings to get those death row inmates released, it’s impossible for him to get them all released. Besides, he only tries to save people who are useful to him,” the drunk man said. “I was sentenced to thirty years in prison. In my second year of service, my boss managed to contact me and taught me how to escape.”

How do we escape?

“I got into a fight and was seriously injured. My boss’s men were lying in wait on the way to the hospital and rescued me.”

Jiang Dong: "......"

Do you know where your boss is right now?

Without hesitation, the drunk man replied, "I don't know."

The lie detector did not sound.

"So you have other accomplices lurking in the city, right?"

"No."

"Beep beep beep!"

The lie detector went off!
