“I…I…”
Xue Li'er organized her words, calculating in her mind what kind of lie would be hard to expose.
"I've already negotiated terms with them. They won't hurt you again," Xue Li'er said. "So, just take the medicine and I'll help you get untied. Nanxun will be here to pick us up shortly."
Zhu Zhu glanced at the bottle in Xue Li'er's hand, was silent for a few seconds and said, "Untie me first, I will take the medicine myself."
"Let me feed you." Xue Li'er didn't want to cause any more trouble and continued to persuade Zhu Zhu. "After you take the medicine, I will help you untie it."
"No!" Zhu Zhu shook her head. "You untie it first, and I'll eat it myself."
Seeing Zhu Zhu so determined, Xue Li'er was afraid that if she forced it, she would bring the yellow-haired man outside the door in.
She put the bottle back into her bag and reached out to untie the rope for Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu had been tied up for quite a while, and when she was freed, she felt sore all over.
"Eat it."
Seeing that Zhu Zhu had moved around and had recovered somewhat, Xue Li'er handed the bottle to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu reached out to take the bottle handed to her by Xue Li'er and held it up to the light carefully.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"I...I don't know either." Xue Li'er looked away, not daring to meet Zhu Zhu's eyes. "It was...they gave it to me, saying it was the antidote."
"They gave it to you?" Zhu Zhu glanced at Xue Li'er. "You want me to eat it if they gave it to you? What if it's poison?"
Xue Li'er's heart skipped a beat when Zhu Zhu mentioned poison. She felt the embarrassment of having her lie exposed in front of her.
"How could that be?" Xue Li'er tried her best to look relaxed. "Nan Xun has already agreed to their terms. How could they possibly harm you again?"
"Really?" Zhu Zhu returned the bottle to her palm. "What conditions did Nanxun agree to? They're actually willing to let me go."
"I'm not sure about the details..." Xue Li'er said, "It was Nanxun who talked to them. I'm only responsible for rescuing you."
After hearing Xue Li'er's words, Zhu Zhu remained silent and didn't respond. She just stared at Xue Li'er with her eyes fixed, full of disbelief.
"Look...what are you looking at me for?" Xue Li'er felt even more guilty when Zhu Zhu looked at her. "You...take your medicine quickly."
Zhu Zhu paused for a few seconds and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.
"You're here to kill me, aren't you?" Zhu Zhu raised the bottle and shook it in front of Xue Li'er, saying coldly, "The stuff in here isn't an antidote at all. It looks like a highly toxic substance like potassium cyanide."
"How...how is that possible! If you don't believe it, don't eat it."
Xue Li'er pretended to snatch the bottle from Zhu Zhu's hand, but Zhu Zhu let her go.
Xue Li'er almost fell because Zhu Zhu suddenly moved away and her balance was unstable.
What was going on? Xue Lier's doubts grew. She had been tied up for such a long time and injected with drugs, so how could she still be so agile?
"It's poison, right?" Zhu Zhu saw Xue Li'er so nervous and became more certain in her heart, "You want to poison me to death!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Li'er's face turned red and blue. "Why would I poison you? What reason do I have?"
"Because of Nanxun." Zhu Zhu said slowly, "That's why you've always wanted to kill me. Even An Yiqing's car hitting me was planned by you, right?"
