Jiang Qiao snorted twice. "Not stupid, you even know my name. Since you know it, let's talk this over. Where's the key?"

The man pointed to his pocket, but his mouth didn't stop either. "Comrade Jiang Qiao, we've heard of your reputation for a long time, but we've never had the chance to meet you. Can we discuss this and have you help us untie this? We're all comrades, there's no need to do it this way, is there?"

Jiang Qiao glanced at the man and said, "It's not impossible for me to untie it, but I need to see the person I'm looking for first."

Jiang Qiao took out the key and gestured to the two people, "Which one is it?"

At the man's signal, Jiang Qiao took the key and opened the door where Gu Zhengkai was being held.

Before entering, Jiang Qiao glanced at the two people unintentionally.

However, the behavior of these two people aroused her suspicion, because the person who had just negotiated with her seemed to have a smile in his eyes, a very strange smile, with a hint of smugness.

That fleeting moment of smugness alerted Jiang Qiao, and just as she was about to reach the person lying on the ground, she swiftly shot the silver needle into the leg.

"ah--"

The man lying on the ground screamed and tried to roll over to get up, but Jiang Qiao was prepared. After shooting out the silver needles, she got up and pressed the man on the ground down firmly.

He twisted the other person's arms behind their back with both hands, and with a "clang," a dagger fell from the other person's hands to the ground.

Jiang Qiao knocked the other person unconscious with a single chop to the neck, then untied their shoelaces and belt, binding them tightly.

They dragged the person and threw them right in front of the two people.

Upon seeing this, the two men opened their mouths and began to shout for help, but Jiang Qiao had already pointed the weapon in his hand at their heads.

"If you don't want to die, shout all you want. You know who I am."

"None of those who dared to attack me are still alive. If I die, I'll take you all down with me. Tell me, where is Gu Zhengkai?"

The man gestured to the next room. "It's in that room, covered with straw."

This time, Jiang Qiao tied the two of them up and gagged them with towels.

She turned and quickly went to the next room. This time, she didn't even need a key; she just kicked the door open.

This time, Jiang Qiao dared not be careless. She carefully walked over, holding her tool in her hand, and slowly lifted the raised straw to see the person lying underneath.

Jiang Qiao's eyes were red. It was indeed Gu Zhengkai, but at this moment Gu Zhengkai was completely silent, his face flushed.

Jiang Qiao touched the person and found they had a fever. After checking them over, she almost wanted to run out and kill those people.

Gu Zhengkai's two legs had been broken. It was fortunate that she came; otherwise, with this delay in the afternoon, who knows what would have happened to him.

She quickly took out water, pried open Gu Zhengkai's mouth, and poured the medicine down his throat. After pulling open Gu Zhengkai's shirt and seeing the wounds on his body, Jiang Qiao suppressed her anger and gave her uncle acupuncture.

The two people tied up by Jiang Qiao were getting anxious. Why hadn't the people outside come in yet?

It wasn't that the people outside didn't hear it; the gatekeepers did, but they assumed it was the prisoners shouting, so nobody paid any attention.

As for the one who was with the other two, he had already gone out to buy food, so he called out to the other two, but it was to no avail.

After Jiang Qiao finished giving Gu Zhengkai acupuncture inside the house, she laid him down flat on the straw. For the time being, she couldn't treat her uncle's leg; she couldn't just take out the tools whenever she wanted. She had to wait until she went outside.

He closed the door and went straight to the three men, slapping them several times while yelling, "Damn it, you dare to assassinate me? You've got guts! If I don't die, I'll show you what I'm made of!"

After saying that, she stabbed the two people with the needle in her hand. As for the other person, Jiang Qiao took out the thing stuffed in his mouth.

"Tell me, do you know about this?"

The man was somewhat panicked. "I... I really don't know. What... what exactly is going on? Comrade Jiang Qiao, you have to believe me. I really didn't know they wanted to harm you."

He saw everything that happened in the room just now, and luckily he was in a good position and could see more clearly than the person next to him. It was because he saw it that he was so shocked. How could his comrade do something to Jiang Qiao?

He didn't know much about Jiang Qiao before, but since joining the group, many of his comrades have been talking about him in private, so he learned about Jiang Qiao's deeds. He just didn't expect that someone would try to assassinate Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Okay, since you say you don't know, I'll believe you for now. You saw what happened just now, didn't you?"

The man nodded. "I saw it. He... he's trying to assassinate you. He has a dagger."

Jiang Qiao patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Remember what you just said. If anyone asks, just tell the truth."

After saying that, she searched the three men thoroughly. To her surprise, the other two men were carrying daggers in their pockets. Goodness, it was fortunate that she had developed this habit; otherwise, if she had been careless, those two bastards might have actually ambushed her.

Pointing to the person whose identity is still unclear, he said, "You, go inside and carry Gu Zhengkai out for me. Be careful."

Jiang Qiao tied the two men together with a rope, then hit them a few times until they could move.

He tried to resist, but his hands were tied and his mouth was gagged, so he couldn't ask for help.

Jiang Qiao stared at them coldly for a moment and said, "Behave yourselves, or you'll force me to use my poison."

The person who entered the house carried Gu Zhengkai out on his back. Jiang Qiao directed the person carrying him to walk in front, while she led the two people behind.

I thought I could miss their work hours, but dealing with these three people took up some time, and the person who bought food came back.

Seeing his colleague tied up by Jiang Qiao, he instinctively threw down what he was holding and rushed towards Jiang Qiao.

Normally, everyone gives these people face. No matter if you're a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, you'll be treated extremely well when you see them. I've never seen anyone come to their territory to arrest someone.

This is like robbing a thief right in their own den; the other party can't just swallow this insult.

The man carrying the person in front wanted to remind his companion not to mess around, as they couldn't afford to mess with the person behind them.

Unfortunately, before he could even finish shouting, the other person had already started fighting with Jiang Qiao, but Jiang Qiao managed to kick him down.

This time, the man knew to cry for help, and his voice was almost as loud as a pig being slaughtered.

"Help! Catch the bad guy!"

Song Zhi and the others waiting outside could no longer sit there and rushed over. Of course, there were also a few other people who had come to work outside. When they heard cries for help coming from inside, and the voices sounded somewhat familiar, they all stepped forward to come over.
