Just as Jiang Peizhen was being drugged, her face was suddenly slashed open. The excruciating pain jolted her awake from her unconsciousness. She clutched her bleeding face, screaming and howling in agony.
"Who? Who's there?"
As expected of a vixen who had lived for fifty or sixty years, she was very alert. Even though her face was in so much pain and the blood had stained the quilt and sheets red, Jiang Peizhen still noticed something unusual in the house.
She immediately sat up.
At this point, she no longer cared about the injury on her face. She rolled out of bed and went to turn on the light and get the gun.
However——
Just as she got out of bed to put on her shoes, the lights in the previously dark bedroom suddenly came on.
In an instant—
Two unfamiliar figures came into Jiang Peizhen's view.
In the middle of the night, two strangers suddenly appeared in the house, startling even the most composed and cunning Jiang Peizhen.
But she quickly calmed down.
She stared at Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi with a piercing gaze and demanded, "Who are you? Who gave you the guts to break into Compound No. 2 at night and come to my Huo family to hurt someone?"
"Shameless! Truly shameless! The Huo family? Why don't you just say this is your Jiang family?" Feng Zhiyi immediately retorted when Jiang Peizhen said this was the Huo family.
There was a coldness in Feng Zhiyi's eyes. If this old woman didn't have so many secrets and there wasn't a bigger person behind her, she really wanted to kill her right now.
"you!"
Jiang Peizhen's face became even darker after hearing Feng Zhiyi's words. Her eyes were gloomy and she was ready to grab a gun. These two people dared to break into her Huo's house at night. They were simply courting death!
But just as she turned around, her mind suddenly went blank for a moment. Jiang Peizhen knew in her heart that something was wrong. She had been drugged, and it was the kind of drug that could make people lose their minds, become dull, and act like puppets.
Her instinctive reaction was to look for the antidote in the cabinet, but she miscalculated. Just as she stepped toward the cabinet, the man in black stepped forward and blocked her way.
"Make way!"
Jiang Peizhen shook her head frantically. As her consciousness became blurred, she quickly raised her hand and pressed it hard against the wound on her face, trying to keep herself awake.
The result was useless.
Her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and within a moment, she completely lost her mind.
At this moment, Jiang Peizhen stood there like a puppet, blood dripping from her clothes onto the ground, staining the surrounding wooden floor crimson.
"This woman... is not simple!" Feng Zhiyi witnessed the entire process of Jiang Peizhen struggling to break free from the control of the Truth Pill, and his heart sank.
Just now, she directly gave Jiang Peizhen two truth pills. Generally speaking, one truth pill is enough to control the other party, but Jiang Peizhen took two and still struggled for so long.
This shows that Jiang Peizhen understands medicine and has been in contact with medicines for many years. Moreover, her medical skills are excellent. Therefore, she was able to realize that she had been drugged and wanted to try to use medicine to cure it.
Feng Zhiyi frowned, pursed her lips, then turned to look at Lu Lingxiao and asked him softly, "Did you know that she knows medical skills?"
Lu Lingxiao shook his head.
He really didn't know that Jiang Peizhen knew medicine. Over the years, he had been secretly investigating Jiang Peizhen and the Jiang family, but he had never heard any news about Jiang Peizhen's medical skills.
That can only mean that Jiang Peizhen is very good at hiding her true intentions!
After thinking about this, Feng Zhiyi stopped hesitating and immediately took out a recorder from the space, turned it on, and began to interrogate Jiang Peizhen.
At this moment, Jiang Peizhen, who was already under control, had no choice but to obediently reveal her secrets under Feng Zhiyi's relentless questioning, despite her strong sense of self-preservation.
There was so much useful information that Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao went from initial surprise to shock, then to astonishment, and finally to intense anger and murderous intent.
When Lu Lingxiao heard that it was Jiang Peizhen who had poisoned his grandmother to death, and that Grandpa Jun's son and daughter-in-law were killed and burned to death in a fire, his cold black eyes instantly froze.
He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his knuckles were white from gripping them so hard.
"Bang-dong—"
Lu Lingxiao kicked Jiang Peizhen directly onto the dressing table, where she rolled and fell to the ground.
This woman is really capable! She hides it well enough.
If Feng Zhiyi hadn't given her the truth pill, no one would have known that she had been lurking behind the scenes and planning more than twenty murders until the moment Jiang Peizhen died!
"Jiang Peizhen, you deserve to die!"
Lu Lingxiao's voice was as cold as ice, and his whole body was filled with an intense chill. At this moment, he was like the King of Hell. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Peizhen was involved with too many political figures, he would really want to kill her right now.
Even though he was trying his best to suppress his murderous intent, he still couldn't help but kick Jiang Peizhen several more times.
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
Lu Lingxiao was already strong, and now that he was on the verge of going berserk, his strength doubled. After a few kicks, Jiang Peizhen was kicked until she vomited blood and her internal organs were displaced.
In addition, her face was slashed by Feng Zhiyi, the cut was so deep that the bone was exposed, her face was completely pale, and her whole body was covered in blood. Her former noble and dignified image was completely gone.
Feng Zhiyi looked at the coldness all over Lu Lingxiao, and the hairs on his arms stood up involuntarily.
She quickly reached out and grabbed him, "Take it easy, don't kill her. She's still useful, she can't die yet. Don't worry, the things she did are enough to make her eat peanuts a hundred times over."
"Wife, I hate her! I wish I could cut her into pieces, chop her into pulp and throw her to feed the dogs!"
Lu Lingxiao closed his eyes, feeling powerless and unwilling. He really wanted to kill Jiang Peizhen to avenge his grandmother, but his military uniform and responsibilities prevented him from doing so.
Because Zhizhi is right, Jiang Peizhen is involved in too many things, she cannot die too suddenly, nor can she die quietly.
Therefore, he could only hand Jiang Peizhen over to the organization, and let the organization execute her!
Feng Zhiyi hugged him with a distressed look on her face, patting his back gently. "I know you hate her, but just bear with it for a while. Wait until the higher-ups capture her and make her confess everything. Then, you can kill her in secret."
Lu Lingxiao murmured, "Do you know? Grandma was kind throughout her life. She helped so many people. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Grandma and Great-Grandpa donated all the family wealth to the country to support the front lines. She was such a good person, but in the end, she died in an unclear manner."
