Chapter 252 Joint Espionage
The spy wasn't stupid enough to confess without being asked. He rolled his eyes and replied casually, "It's not too late. Isn't this the end of me? I'm happy, so I went out to take a look."
"Oh." Qin Xiangnuan's attitude was very casual, which made the spy less worried.
So when he heard Qin Xiangnuan's next question, he was a little slow to react.
"What did the Third Miss say just now?" The spy didn't notice that he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
"I'll tell you." Qin Xiangnuan raised her upper eyelids, the coldness in her eyes becoming even more profound. Under the scrutiny of the spy, she spoke word by word, "Did the conversation with Gu Mingqi's people go smoothly?"
He heard it right. All of Qin Xiangnuan's emotions were directed at him. Before he could think carefully and react, the spy turned around and tried to open the door and run out.
"Where are you going?"
It was horrifying. As the spy retreated, he landed on his butt and happened to sit on a sharp stone.
Qin Xiangnuan's heart skipped a beat. She had just seen the whole process of the spy falling to the ground and being stabbed, and she felt sorry for Shizi's innocence.
Jiang Lin didn't expect that his words would have such power. He walked in from outside, glanced at him with his eyes lowered, and then looked away.
"Does it hurt?" Qin Xiangnuan took a few steps forward and stood where the spy could see her.
The spy's expression was indescribable. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and wanted to touch the injured area with the other hand, but he stopped the action as if he was concerned about being embarrassing.
When Qin Xiangnuan asked him, the spy turned his head and looked at her gratefully.
As a result, when the spy saw Qin Xiangnuan's indifferent attitude, his face changed a lot.
"Why did you run away?" Qin Xiangnuan seemed really confused and just wanted to get the answer to her doubts.
"Miss Third, please let me go. I promise I will never help the Seventh Prince again." The spy struggled to get up from the ground. Before he could stand up straight, he turned around and knelt on the ground again.
"Your promise is worthless." Jiang Lin couldn't stand these two-faced people who had no principles and no backbone.
The spy's eyes flashed. Knowing that Qin Xiangnuan was a cruel but kind person, he ignored what Jiang Lin said and only set his target on Qin Xiangnuan.
"Miss Third, I can prove my innocence." The spy hurriedly took out the things the two men had given him from his arms.
"What is this?" Qin Xiangnuan did not open it to take a look immediately, but asked the person in front of her.
The spy said hurriedly, "This is the poison they gave me to put in your food tomorrow."
Qin Xiangnuan was exhausted by seeing these clichéd tricks.
"Is this all?" Qin Xiangnuan asked, holding up the poison.
The spy nodded vigorously, "If Miss Third doesn't believe me, you can search me to prove my innocence."
"I'm not interested." Qin Xiangnuan was holding a packet of poison in her hand. The amount was not small, enough to kill a group of cows.
These words were ambiguous, and the spy had no idea how Qin Xiangnuan was going to punish him, which was even more tormenting for him.
"Miss Third, I didn't intend to poison you. Can you let me go?" the spy asked tentatively.
This time, Qin Xiangnuan gave him a straightforward answer, "No."
"Prince Jiang." The spy clasped his hands tightly on the ground and lowered his head towards Jiang Lin, "Please spare my life."
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Jiang Lin. He was leaning on the millstone with a leisurely look on his face. He stood up straight when he met Qin Xiangnuan's gaze.
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head to indicate that she had no intention, then turned to the person still kneeling and said, "If you want to live, you have to listen to us."
Looking at the spy's open mouth, Qin Xiangnuan felt that he was surprised, as if he was shocked that he was let off so easily.
Ignoring his reaction, Qin Xiangnuan asked someone to stand up, moved a little closer, and spoke in a low voice.
By the end, the spy had lost control of his expression.
"If you behave like this tomorrow morning, I will consider whether I need your help." Qin Xiangnuan said.
"If you can't tell me sooner, it doesn't mean you are the only one." Jiang Lin said unhappily, with disgust and annoyance in his eyes.
The spy was stunned for a moment, then said, "I can do it."
"I will complete what the Third Miss ordered." The spy added after a brief pause.
After finishing this, Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin were planning to go back to their room, but they were stopped when they just arrived in the lobby.
"Master, Undercurrent is injured."
Jiang Lin glanced at the people coming over, and the low pressure made the entire hall cold.
"Where is the person!" Jiang Lin couldn't hide his anxiety at all.
"He has been sent back to his room, but he is still unconscious."
After hearing that they had returned to the room, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan hurried upstairs, and the person who brought the news followed behind them and talked about the undercurrent situation.
"He was stabbed six times. The wounds are long and thin. They look like they were caused by a sword. I don't know the depth of the wounds, but I checked them. There's no poison. He just hasn't woken up yet."
"How long did it take to find the missing person?" Jiang Lin frowned, his voice a little hoarse.
Qin Xiangnuan reached out and took his clenched fist, and when he turned around, she said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The visitor, stung by the icy shards in Jiang Lin's words, felt a little relieved at this moment and quickly replied to Jiang Lin, "It will only take half an incense stick of time."
"It won't be long, there's still time." Qin Xiangnuan gave Jiang Lin some reassuring words.
Jiang Linhui held Qin Xiangnuan's hand and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and said, "I'm very happy to do so."
When he saw Anliu, he found Ying Niang was also there for some reason. She was already in tears. When she saw Qin Xiangnuan, she rushed towards her.
"Miss Third, please save him quickly." Ying Niang's voice was miserable, as if she was about to lose her breath in the next moment.
Jiang Lin, who was standing aside, looked at An Feng who was standing silently, as if asking him why Ying Niang was there too.
An Feng shook his head. When he got the news and came in, he had already seen Ying Niang.
"Ying Niang, calm down first. Let me take a look at the undercurrent." Qin Xiangnuan was unable to move as Ying Niang held her tightly, so she had to speak to her first.
A pair of tearful eyes were raised and met Qin Xiangnuan's eyes.
"Let me go first." Qin Xiangnuan took a breath and persuaded again.
Ying Niang let go abruptly, then placed her hands behind her back, determined not to touch Qin Xiangnuan.
When she had the chance, Qin Xiangnuan checked Anliu's pulse and breath. Anliu was wearing dark clothes, so it was impossible to tell how much blood he was bleeding.
"His clothes..."
As soon as Qin Xiangnuan opened her mouth, Ying Niang rushed to the bed before anyone else and tore off her clothes without saying a word.
“…” The others were stunned for a moment, but only for a moment.
"It's okay, Miss Third." Ying Niang's voice sounded with tears in her eyes. She turned around and looked at Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan felt a little pity for the person in front of her, but soon asked her to stand aside.
"You go out first." Jiang Lin said immediately.
