Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou rushed to the dungeon of the Imperial Capital Criminal Police Headquarters.
The Imperial Capital Criminal Investigation Department takes it upon itself to eradicate evil forces and has cooperated with Gu Momo and Li Zhanting on many occasions.
Because the matter of detaining Honglian is of great importance, Li Zhanfeng has contacted the Criminal Investigation Department to have Shao Mengying escorted here.
"Ladies, this way please." The subordinate respectfully invited Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou in, then smiled and said, "Miss Gu, our leader has said that we can use any means necessary to deal with such evil elements. However, the intelligence we obtain will be shared between the two sides, since we are all working to eradicate the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. So please make yourselves at ease."
"Okay." Gu Momo nodded and stepped directly into the cold and damp prison.
In the cold, damp prison, Shao Mengying was escorted to Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou. She had long lost her former glamour, and her eyes had long since lost their sparkle. She was like a walking corpse.
Only when she saw Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou did she seem to suddenly wake up, and she struggled desperately against the chains:
"Gu Momo, Gu Wanrou! What are you doing here? You're here to ask for information too, right? Hahaha, that's hilarious! You don't think I would betray my alliance leader, do you? Don't worry, even if I die, I would never betray my alliance leader!"
Her ferocious face wore a terrifying smile, yet her eyes held an unprecedented sorrow, and her voice sounded as if she had experienced countless hardships.
Gu Momo's lips curled into a cold, indifferent smile: "So you'd never betray the Alliance Leader. You're so loyal to him, yet he secretly sent the assassin Mo Tong to end your life. You're nothing but a grain of sand in his eyes, and you know that very well. You can fool me and Wanrou, but you can't fool your own heart."
Shao Mengying stiffened violently, and the moment she met Gu Momo's gaze, she felt as if his soul was being pierced through.
Suddenly, she laughed sadly: "Nonsense... How could the Alliance Leader not want me? He was so gentle with me, how could he not want me? It must be Mo Tong who wanted to kill me. This has nothing to do with the Alliance Leader..."
She was clearly refuting Gu Momo's words, but her voice became increasingly choked, and finally tears streamed down her face.
"The Alliance Leader has been so good to me, like a real family member. Without the Alliance Leader, I am nothing..." She covered her face with her hands, her sorrowful voice like that of an abandoned child:
"But why would he do that? Did I not do enough and anger the Alliance Leader...?"
Otherwise, why would the Alliance Leader, who was the most gentle and doting towards her, want to kill her?
She simply couldn't believe that such a gentle and kind alliance leader was actually the one who most wanted to kill her.
Seeing her heartbroken appearance, Gu Wanrou was furious. She slammed her hand on the table: "You're still here repenting for not doing enough? What a joke! From the day you helped the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, you should have thought about today's outcome!"
"Speak! Where is the antidote? Who can cure this poison? And who else did you poison?"
Before she could finish speaking, Shao Mengying glared at Gu Wanrou with a mocking look, as if she were laughing at an ant.
"What? My plaything can actually talk now? Gu Wanrou, what makes you think you have the right to ask me these questions? Five years ago, you were just a toy I played with. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to stand here!"
Gu Wanrou narrowed her eyes, about to say something, when she heard Gu Momo's cold voice:
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Originally, if you had talked, you might have been spared some of the death penalty, but now..."
Upon hearing that she could be spared the death penalty, Shao Mengying immediately became excited and asked, "Is it really possible to be spared the death penalty?"
Gu Momo said indifferently, "Whether you can be spared the death penalty depends entirely on the judgment of the Capital Criminal Police Headquarters, but I know very well that if you don't make some contribution, you will definitely be sentenced to death. It all depends on whether you are willing to fight for your last chance to live."
"Fine! I'll tell you!" Shao Mengying's sharp eyes seemed to have gone through countless struggles before she finally said with certainty, "You just want to get information about the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, right? Then I'll tell you everything you want to know right now!"
Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou looked at each other, and both saw hope in each other's eyes.
This is the vice leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance; the information she possesses must be bombshells!
"Okay, go ahead!" Gu Momo winked at Gu Wanrou, who quickly prepared the recording equipment.
Even now, they can't completely trust Shao Mengying, but this is a golden opportunity!
"Then tell me first, why did you create the Corpse Soul Poison in the first place?" Gu Momo calmed down, but her deep eyes were fixed on Shao Mengying like a scalpel. "Who created it? Who used it? Where is the antidote?"
Shao Mengying stubbornly raised her head; even in this dungeon, she still wanted to maintain her dignity and pride.
"As far as I know, the Corpse Soul Poison controlled by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was developed by a famous medical expert. This medical expert was employed by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and was codenamed Deadly Poison Master. He collected various poisonous insects in the mountains and spent several years developing it. Because of its potent toxicity, those who take the poison will either fall into a coma or die from festering sores all over their bodies. Long-term use of this toxin may cause the user to fall into a long-term coma. In addition, the strength of this poison can be easily controlled by the poisoner, so it was specially named Corpse Soul Poison."
Then, she sneered, "Of course, this poison was specially developed to facilitate the control of the four major families, and then help the Alliance Leader complete his grand plan! What happened at Mu Rou Manor five years ago, our cooperation with the Dark Moon Organization, the kidnapping of Rong Mu Hua, and the schemes in the Y Kingdom's royal family—all of these were for the Alliance Leader's grand plan!"
Gu Momo's attention was immediately drawn to the fact that her mother had been taking this toxin for a long time!
But it's strange, she's been in the medical field for so many years, if there really were such a great medical expert, she should know him!
Perhaps this person even meets with her frequently!
Her eyes narrowed slightly: "Then who exactly is this medical expert? Where is he?"
"Ha! How could I possibly know about this?" Shao Mengying laughed coldly. "Only the leader of the entire Emperor-Slaying Alliance has seen him. All I know is that he often wears a pocket watch with an extremely exquisite landscape painting on it."
Gu Momo felt a sudden rush of light to her head, and the image of the landscape-patterned pocket watch on Grandpa Qiao's wrist involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Wait, could it be... that Grandpa Qiao is that medical expert?!
But if Grandpa Qiao really is the Deadly Poison Master within the Emperor Killing Alliance, where should she go to find Grandpa Qiao?
"Heh..." Gu Momo tapped the table lightly with her fingers, a dangerous glint appearing in her eyes:
"Oh? Then tell me how you used this poison to control the four major families? Also, what is your leader's grand plan...? Tell me about it too?"
A faint smile played on her lips, her eyes and brows brimming with amusement.
She had a vague premonition that the information Shao Mengying gave her would be a bombshell!
