The True Heiress in Exile: She's Ruthless and Unhinged

Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...

Chapter 53 What if she likes you too?

The servant entered the room, and before he could finish speaking, he felt a cool breeze blow past, and the envelope in his hand vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter, and began to read it quickly.

After a long while, he chuckled softly, "Just as she would have done."

Seeing his master in a good mood, the servant smiled and suggested, "Master, since you care so much about Miss Xu, why don't you get to know her? What if she likes you too?"

Zhou Ziheng turned his head to look out the window, as if answering the servant, or perhaps saying to himself, "Now is not the time to meet..."

Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan on the mountain was also preparing to interrogate Xiang Linsheng.

Upon entering the room, Ma Wencai, without needing Xu Jinhuan's instructions, expertly pulled two poison pills from Xiang Linsheng's mouth.

"Tsk, I didn't realize this guy was even more cunning than Song Shulan. He has poison on both sides of his teeth, and he hid it very well. If I hadn't checked carefully, I might not have been able to find it."

After Ma Wencai finished speaking, he swung the cloth in front of Li Yichang as if to show off, constantly displaying his great achievement, and even wiped his hands on Li Yichang's clothes when Li Yichang wasn't paying attention.

Annoyed, Li Yichang frowned. Didn't he see that Boss Xu was about to interrogate the prisoner? Why was he muttering to himself?

If he hadn't been so rational, he would have shoved the poison into Ma Wencai's mouth to shut him up and never speak again.

The two of them started arguing behind Xu Jinhuan's back, and in the end Ma Wencai was slightly outmatched, hanging his head as he went out to wash his hands.

Xu Jinhuan then gently removed Xiang Linsheng's chin and said coldly, "Your companions have all confessed. You're not particularly important to us either. If you don't say anything..."

Xu Jinhuan paused here, carefully observing Xiang Linsheng's subtle expressions, and sure enough, he noticed something was amiss.

A normal person would probably be afraid and panicked in this situation, but Xiang Linsheng only showed superficial fear. His eyes were so calm that there was not a ripple in them.

If, as Su Sanxi said, both of them are bronze-level assassins, then this guy's reaction is really inconsistent with his identity.

This guy is definitely strange.

Seemingly sensing Xu Jinhuan's suspicion, Xiang Linsheng burst into tears, crying as he spoke.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. I came here because I accepted a mission from Deyilou. I'm just an ordinary person who received a mission and I don't know anything!"

Xu Jinhuan frowned, increasingly feeling that there was something wrong with this person.

Li Yichang, standing behind her, seemed equally surprised that Xiang Linsheng had spoken so quickly.

Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Li Yichang, twitched her little nose and sniffed the air a few times. Suddenly, her expression changed and she began to cough loudly.

"Cough cough cough."

Li Yichang gently patted his younger sister's back. "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaoxiao shook her head and whispered, "Brother, I'm fine. I just choked on the smell."

Xu Jinhuan also noticed the commotion on Li Xiaoxiao's side and walked over to them in confusion. Before he could ask anything, he heard Li Xiaoxiao whisper something.

"Sister, this guy smells awful, bloody and disgusting, he's definitely a big bad guy!"

Xu Jinhuan gently patted Li Xiaoxiao's head and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiao. Since it smells bad here, let's go out. You don't have to hold it in."

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan asked Li Yichang to escort Li Xiaoxiao out of the house first.

When he turned back, Xu Jinhuan's smile deepened, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

This is getting more and more interesting.

After much investigation, it turned out that the one hidden the deepest was actually the one in the open. If we hadn't investigated so thoroughly, we would have been fooled by Xiang Linsheng.

Xu Jinhuan suddenly thought of her most loyal little brother Zhou Zhou from the apocalypse. If he saw how she handled things now, he would probably praise her. After all, she used to be very careless in handling things.

Xu Jinhuan chuckled and shook his head. How come he's not even old yet, but he's already reminiscing about the past?

She smiled and took out a piece of mulberry paper from her sleeve, waving to Ma Wencai who had just entered the room.

"You know how to use this, right? I don't need to teach you, do I?"

Ma Wencai respectfully accepted the mulberry paper shaped like a human face. How could he not know? He was the first experimenter.

"Boss, just you wait and see!" After saying that, Ma Wencai took the mulberry paper and walked to the door. He mischievously chose to wet the mulberry paper with rainwater.

When I felt it was about time, I closed the door and came in.

"Come on, brother, seeing how arrogant you are, let me show you the power of this mulberry bark paper torture."

Xiang Linsheng was completely bewildered and shouted, "I've said everything I could say, how can you go back on your word?"

Ma Wencai was slightly taken aback and looked at Xu Jinhuan with a puzzled expression. "Boss, has he finished explaining everything?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't answer Ma Wencai's question, but gave Xiang Linsheng a half-smile, "Oh? You've said everything you can say, so is there anything you can't say?"

Xiang Linsheng frowned subconsciously. He hadn't expected that someone who hunted geese all day would end up getting pecked in the eye by one. This little girl was really not easy to fool, but he could wait until today was over...

His eyes darted around, and he chose to drop a trivial matter: "I confess, this face of mine is fake, it's a mask that Song Shulan gave me!"

Xu Jinhuan chuckled and instructed, "Take off the mask and replace it with mulberry paper to stick on him. If we don't get serious, he won't know what to say."

When Ma Wencai saw that Xu Jinhuan had given the order, he simply and decisively stuck mulberry paper on Xiang Linsheng's face.

Xiang Linsheng struggled on, "I really told you everything, why won't you believe me!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much he struggled, the mulberry paper remained firmly stuck to his face, not moving an inch.

As time passed, the two could clearly feel Xiang Linsheng's discomfort. At first, Xiang Linsheng struggled, but later he seemed to give up and began to lie down and wait to die.

Want to die?

It's not that easy.

Xu Jinhuan had been observing Xiang Linsheng with his spiritual power. When he felt that Xiang Linsheng was about to die, he waved to Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai immediately understood and peeled back a corner of the mulberry paper, letting in a little fresh air.

Just as Xiang Linsheng subconsciously began to greedily inhale the air, Ma Wencai quickly covered him with the mulberry paper, ensuring that Xiang Linsheng wouldn't get another breath of fresh air.

After repeating this several times, there were obvious water stains running down Xiang Linsheng's lower body clothes. His hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and his lips were shaking, but he was still panting heavily.

Even though he had long been prepared to die, he was now somewhat afraid of dying.

Looking at the disheveled Xiang Linsheng, Ma Wencai thought to himself that Boss Xu's skill in torturing people was truly profound. Fortunately, he confessed quickly, otherwise he would be the one suffering this.

"Will you tell or not?"
