"Cough cough cough..."
She had just been stabbed in the chest and the bleeding hadn't stopped when Lu Lingxiao forcibly pried open her mouth and stuffed two unknown objects into it. They melted instantly in her mouth, and no matter how hard she tried to spit them out, it was no use.
Jiang Peizhen looked up at Lu Lingxiao with a panicked expression, her lips trembling as she asked, "What...what did you give me to eat?"
Lu Lingxiao didn't answer her question, but casually threw her to the ground. However, the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes made Jiang Peizhen's heart skip a beat.
Her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with fear. "I'm going to find the leaders! I'm going to report you to the leaders! You actually used torture against me behind their backs and poisoned me! Lu Lingxiao, you'll die a horrible death!"
After Jiang Peizhen finished speaking, her body trembled even more violently. She was afraid, truly afraid. She was afraid of being poisoned to death, afraid of being killed by Lu Lingxiao.
"You're saying I poisoned you? Where's the evidence? If you're so capable, produce the evidence! If you can't, then shut up!"
Lu Lingxiao looked at her with disdain and sneered, "Besides, you definitely won't see whether I die a horrible death or not. After all, after I pass away, you will have long gone to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer endless torment, and then be thrown into the animal realm to become an animal, and you will never be able to be reincarnated as a human again."
"you!"
Jiang Peizhen felt dizzy from what he said, and with her chest still bleeding, the stimulation caused her face to drain of all color. Her head was buzzing, and she felt as if she would faint at any moment. She began to sway unsteadily.
But Lu Lingxiao showed no sign of letting her go.
He then changed the subject, continuing to rub salt into her wounds, "But you're quite pitiful too. Your grandson, whom you've cherished for over twenty years, didn't come back to see you even once after you were all arrested."
"Obviously, for Huo Mingzhe, having a grandmother like you from that short, stout country must be the worst thing that could happen to him in eight lifetimes. He must feel it's a great disgrace, which is why he doesn't want to come back..."
His long string of words was like countless sharp knives, each one piercing Jiang Peizhen's heart, causing her both pain and hatred. The pain felt like her internal organs were being torn apart, and every nerve in her body was being frantically ripped apart.
She knew that ever since she was captured by Lu Lingxiao, she no longer had the capital to fight him.
Even so, she would never bow down to him. "Finding my Mingzhe won't be that easy. My grandson is so smart, and he has the martial artists from the Cherry Blossom Garden with him. You, a mere bastard, think you can find him? That's just wishful thinking!"
The next sentence caught in Lu Lingxiao's throat as he looked at her with a half-smile.
Jiang Peizhen then realized that she had been tricked by Lu Lingxiao again!
He deliberately provoked her, hoping to extract useful information from her so that he could be better prepared.
At this moment, she had to admit that Lu Lingxiao had grown into a formidable opponent.
Lu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow and slowly uttered another sentence, "Thanks! Don't worry, when I see Huo Mingzhe, I will definitely tell him that it was his good grandmother who betrayed him, so that even if he dies, he will die with his eyes open!"
"You, you... pfft..."
Jiang Peizhen fainted from anger caused by him. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight into the ground.
"Tsk, you fainted already? It seems you are really old. You can't bear a few words."
Lu Lingxiao clicked his tongue in regret, but his eyes were unusually cold. He stared at her for a while, then withdrew his chill and walked out.
When Du Sheng saw Lu Lingxiao come out, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He raised his chin and asked softly, "All done? I could hear Jiang Peizhen's screams and shouts outside. You... didn't hurt her, did you?"
Lu Lingxiao glanced at him, then turned and walked out, casually replying without changing her expression, "Do I look like the kind of person who would resort to underhanded tactics? Besides, she's already sentenced to death, and her execution is the day after tomorrow. Is it necessary for me to do anything unnecessary?"
His words only made Du Sheng feel more uneasy.
He immediately said, "Commander Lu, I'm only helping you because of our friendship. You should at least consider my feelings and my duty. If you really kill her, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."
"Don't worry, she won't die." Lu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow and added, "However, she needs to have her chest wound bandaged up quickly, otherwise she might lose too much blood and die."
Du Sheng, "..." If he hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten it.
This guy is here to take Jiang Peizhen's heart's blood!
"Goodbye and don't bother coming back!" Du Sheng gritted his teeth speechlessly, threw down these words, and turned to head towards his office.
Lu Lingxiao smiled and looked at Du Sheng's back as he said, "Captain Du, come over for lunch tomorrow. Bai Mo and Xie Junfei will be there too. I'll treat you to drinks then."
"I won't drink anything that isn't top-quality wine!" Du Sheng paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he threw out a defiant remark and walked into the office.
Finally, another warning voice drifted from the office, "Be careful of Su Yunfei, he's investigating you!"
"Thank you!"
After Lu Lingxiao expressed his gratitude, he got into the car, left the base and drove towards the Lu family's old residence.
In fact, Lu Lingxiao knew that Su Yunfei had been secretly investigating him these days, but he was not afraid of Su Yunfei, nor was he worried that the Su family would suspect him.
Everything should be based on evidence.
Without evidence, it's all just empty talk.
Unfortunately, the Su family could not find any evidence.
Moreover, the reason why the Su family suspected him was simply because they felt that Su Qing and Cai Juan had disgraced the Su family, making them a laughing stock in the entire capital, and Su Qing also suffered from delusions and wanted to cling to him.
So the Su family just wanted to find a scapegoat to protect their family from disaster.
Unfortunately—
They got the wrong person!
Lu Lingxiao was driving back, still thinking about something in his mind. However, when he was halfway there, a jeep suddenly drove over and blocked the road.
Lu Lingxiao narrowed his starry eyes and calmly slowed down, finally coming to a stop when he was only two fingers' width away from the jeep.
However, when he saw the person getting out of the car, his eyes sharpened.
So, you're trying to cling to him because you can't find any evidence, right?
