Chapter 242: Poisoned and Seeking Help
Jiang Lin did not deny that Qin Xiangnuan had a certain ability to protect herself, but he would never trust Qin Xiangnuan to act alone.
"Actually, I don't think the person who came to find me necessarily wants to harm me." Qin Xiangnuan suddenly said this to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin had already burned the note. After hearing what Qin Xiangnuan said, he came out of his highly defensive state and recalled what was written on it: Requesting to see Miss Qin Xiangnuan.
It seems that there is really no hostile intention to harm, but there is absolutely no friendly intention either.
"No matter why they came here," Jiang Lin said, "they are not good people."
Qin Xiangnuan raised an eyebrow, but didn't jump to conclusions. She just said, "Just let Anliu do your thing. With you by my side, do I still need him to watch over me?"
Anliu nodded quickly upon hearing this, "Miss Third is absolutely right."
Jiang Lin was stunned, then nodded, "Okay."
Qin Xiangnuan smiled, because she suddenly discovered that Jiang Lin, who was always calm and composed, easily lost his composure when encountering things related to her.
He knew clearly that her abilities were no worse than his, but she was still always on his mind and tried to be protected.
"Nuannuan?" Qin Xiangnuan's gaze was so strong at this moment that Jiang Lin couldn't understand the meaning for a moment.
Qin Xiangnuan's eyes softened, and she thought to herself, so this is what it feels like to have a bond.
But when answering Jiang Lin, Qin Xiangnuan didn't reveal the softness in her heart. In response to his doubts, she simply said, "I was wondering, if they were anxious to see me, why didn't they even leave an address?"
Jiang Lin's gaze now shifted to the pigeon in his hand, and he slowly raised it, "Should this be used to deliver the message?"
Qin Xiangnuan suddenly realized, then replied and asked Anliu to release the pigeon back to the place where the letters were received.
As a result, before the undercurrent could take any action, the messenger arrived and directly stopped their carriage.
"Miss San, please save us!"
The voice outside the carriage sounded slightly familiar. Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan both frowned and searched their memories, but to no avail.
They opened the car window with doubts.
"It's you." Qin Xiangnuan raised an eyebrow, "Why are you still here?"
"Miss Third, I can tell you all this in detail later." The person who came was the third son of the family in the inn. "Please come with me and save a few lives right now!"
Jiang Lin stopped Qin Xiangnuan from getting off the carriage.
"How can we save your lives?" Jiang Lin said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's the people in your organization who want you dead, right?"
The third brother showed forbearance on his face, but he also realized that if he didn't explain the situation clearly, Jiang Lin would not agree to let Qin Xiangnuan go with him.
"Master Jiang, you're right." The third brother looked up and looked directly into Jiang Lin's eyes. "Because we didn't kill Nuan Yang, they wanted to silence us. We had just found a house when they came."
"The other party is fully aware of your whereabouts? Someone has been following you?" Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but express her doubts when she heard this. Since the other party could find people so accurately, why didn't they send someone to assassinate Nuan Yang again?
The third brother obviously didn't think about it in this way, because in his understanding, the people in that organization are omnipotent, so it is not surprising that they can quickly find out their whereabouts.
When asked by Qin Xiangnuan, the third brother paused for a moment, but then thought of something more urgent.
"Miss Third, I don't know about that either." The third brother's voice was filled with grief. "They poisoned our entire family. Now my parents and brothers are dying soon, but I know that you, Miss Third, will find a way to save them."
"What about you?" Qin Xiangnuan looked at the person in front of her. Apart from the pale lips, she couldn't see anything wrong with him. He was still full of energy.
"I have to thank Third Miss for all this. Last time, you treated my second brother and me. This time, our poisoning wasn't too severe, so we have a chance to breathe and come here for help."
After the third brother's words, Qin Xiangnuan and the others understood. Qin Xiangnuan had no objection and was willing to go with the third brother.
But Jiang Lin still disagreed, "How do I know this isn't a trap?"
The third brother's eyes widened. "Master Jiang, you were able to subdue us last time, and you can do it this time too. You can come with me. If I lie, you can kill us all. I won't complain!"
Listening to the passionate words of the third brother, Jiang Lin remained unshaken and was determined not to let Qin Xiangnuan follow them. Jiang Lin did not dare to risk the lives of the others. If they used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain, Jiang Lin would not be able to take care of them.
"Nuannuan can save people, but your people have to come here." Jiang Lin's words could not be reversed.
The third brother obviously couldn't do this. Among the eight of them, only he and his second brother could walk. How could he bring the others here?
After Qin Xiangnuan saw the person, she connected it with the voice in her memory. She still remembered that among the family, the third child looked the most sober and open.
"Jiang Lin, I can go." Qin Xiangnuan pulled Jiang Lin's sleeve, her eyes revealing determination and confidence that made Jiang Lin feel at ease.
"But..." Jiang Lin hesitated.
Jiang Lin then chose to make concessions.
"Is your family still staying there?" Jiang Lin asked.
The third brother seemed to see a turning point, his face lit up with joy, "No, we fled from the dark after we discovered someone was coming, but they put poison in the water, so we were all infected."
"Can you guarantee that you're safe right now?" Jiang Lin's distrust was undisguised. "After all, you could be followed at any time."
The third brother opened his mouth, but obviously couldn't say anything. He couldn't make any promises.
Jiang Lin knew the answer from his expression. His face turned colder and he snorted, "That's right. I shouldn't have asked you. The answer is obvious."
"It's okay." Qin Xiangnuan was willing to believe the third brother, not because she thought they were not being followed, but because she believed that their family was really struggling for their lives.
Qin Xiangnuan knew that Jiang Lin was worried about her and the safety of the Qin family after he left, so she asked the third brother where they were and found out that it happened to be a place on their way.
Once the decision was made, everyone headed there.
The fact was set, and Jiang Lin accepted this route, so he asked the secret guards to increase vigilance so that they could better protect everyone.
"Jiang Lin." Qin Xiangnuan knew how much Jiang Lin indulged her, and she would not joke with so many people's lives. "Give these to the secret guards, and they will instantly incapacitate anyone within ten feet."
Qin Xiangnuan gave Jiang Lin something that looked like a smoke bomb, and then took out pills of several colors.
"The red one is the antidote. After throwing this, you can take it within a cup of tea without any harm. The green one is a universal antidote. It can delay the onset of any poison."
Jiang Lin watched Qin Xiangnuan as if she was performing a magic trick, taking out one treasure after another.
