Chapter 801: Ambush Them
She left her words behind, but no one dared to come for several days. The screening was carried out in an orderly manner, and everyone's resistance was gradually worn away by the cleaning with real guns and knives.
Qiao Yanmeng felt something was wrong.
When something unexpected happens, there must be something fishy behind it.
That night, there was a heavy storm and the palm trees in the small courtyard were rustling.
Qiao Yanmeng coaxed the little one to sleep early, and sat in the corridor with Zhan Tingbei to drink tea.
"It's already twelve o'clock, it's time to rest." Zhan Tingbei spoke slowly, and his words seemed to have deep meaning.
Qiao Yanmeng glanced at the gloomy sky and said, "Don't worry, they haven't arrived yet."
"Who would dare to come if we don't turn off the lights?" Zhan Tingbei smiled and took Qiao Yanmeng's hand, pulling her onto his lap. "Let's go back."
As the night deepened, the wind and rain grew stronger.
There seemed to be the sound of light footsteps on the tiles on the roof.
There was also the sound of footsteps on the bluestone path outside the house.
The people in the house seemed to be still sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open and five or six mermaids in black rushed in. In order not to alert the enemy, they did not use guns, but came with knives.
The leading man in black concealed his presence, rushed into the bedroom first, and started chopping with a knife.
But this time the knife did not cut the flesh, noodles flew everywhere, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.
"Oh no!" the man in black whispered coldly, "We've been fooled! Retreat!"
But it's too late to leave now.
When they went out, they found that the yard was full of people. Qiao Yanmeng was sitting in the middle of the yard, looking very contented.
Obviously he had guessed this would happen.
"Why, can you come and go as you please in my house?" Qiao Yanmeng drank tea leisurely with a lazy look, but her whole body exuded an extremely cold and gloomy aura for no reason, which made people dare not look directly at her.
“Go!” The man in black gritted his teeth and growled to those around him, “We can’t escape today anyway, so why not fight to the death!”
Qiao Yanmeng waved her hands and said, "You can't say that. What do you mean you can't escape? It's you, the leader, who can't escape. The others are all good people."
She glanced at the people behind the black-clad man who were covering their faces tightly, and said with a smile:
"If you guys are willing to surrender and save us some time, I can consider giving you a chance to live."
Everyone looked at each other, and saw suspicion and anger in each other's eyes.
"It seems that you are determined to make things difficult for me." Qiao Yanmeng smiled coldly, "Then forget it."
The two sides soon engaged in a melee.
Qiao Yanmeng sat there bored, watching the men in black being badly injured and sighing.
"Boss, everyone is here." He Xiao drove out the captured people. Their faces were still covered with black scarves, revealing only a pair of angry eyes.
Qiao Yanmeng said, "Tell me who you are, and I'll let you go."
She was playing with a delicate little dagger in her hand. In the moonlight, the blade flashed with a cold light, which made people feel uneasy.
There was an eerie silence.
Qiao Yanmeng was a little impatient, and waved her hand and said to He Xiao, "Go and find me a box of toothpicks."
He Xiao looked confused, but he still brought it quickly.
Qiao Yanmeng twisted a toothpick and said to the leading man in black: "I will give you one last chance. If you don't say anything, you will be in pain."
The man in black glared at her coldly with disdain. How could they, such tough men who had survived through mountains of swords and seas of fire, be afraid of pain?
"You bastard, you don't deserve to be the leader of the alliance, go to hell!" The leading man in black not only did not give in, but started to provoke.
Qiao Yanmeng raised her eyebrows. She just liked these brainless strong guys.
"Very good." She smiled lightly, and flicked her hand casually. A toothpick suddenly flew out from between her fingers. The next moment, the man in black let out a scream that shocked the world and made the ghosts weep.
The toothpick got stuck somewhere on his arm, causing him to tremble with pain and almost pee.
Yet, he was able to persevere.
"You bastard, even if you stab me to death with this damn thing, I won't tell you!" He gritted his teeth and stared at Qiao Yanmeng.
Qiao Yanmeng had no expression on her face and threw another one at him. He jumped up in pain and rolled on the ground again.
"If you don't tell me, I'll stick a toothpick into your crotch." Qiao Yanmeng's voice was gentle, but every word she spoke was filled with murderous intent.
The man in black had tears of rationality welling up in his eyes. His eyes were red as he stared at her. Finally, he was a little frightened.
"I, I said..." At this time, another man in black walked to the front tremblingly, "Yes, it's Miss An Ran. We are all assassins trained by her and work exclusively for her."
The case is solved.
Qiao Yanmeng didn't expect that even though An Ran had been captured, she still had such great ability.
That time, An Ran threatened Zhan Tingbei that she must be spared, otherwise she would not hand over the antidote. Zhan Tingbei agreed, but he also had people ambush her on the way she left, captured her, and locked her up in the Weiwu League's jail.
"Let's go to the water dungeon." Qiao Yanmeng said.
The water prison is located under the headquarters of the Weiwu League. It was built on the orders of the previous leader and is used to detain disciples who have committed serious mistakes.
An Ran was locked in the first room.
