The silver needles were incredibly fast, approaching Yu Shiyue's throat in the blink of an eye, and would hit her in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Wen Chenlu nodded, relieved.
Once the silver needle is inserted, it will dissolve in Yu Shiyue's blood along with the venom. She doesn't need to worry about the rest; the venom won't take effect instantly but will instead take effect within three hours.
Wait a while, then find some excuse to get away and clear yourself of suspicion.
"I almost forgot, I need to ask Huang Meigui later what food this toxin is extracted from. I need to buy it in advance and give it to Yu Shiyue so that we can fake food poisoning."
Wen Chenlu slapped her forehead and made a note of it.
Luckily, I remembered. Otherwise, if Yu Shiyue hadn't been fed and had died from poisoning, the Jiang City Police Department wouldn't have been so easily fooled. They would have definitely figured out that someone had poisoned her.
Just when Wen Chenlu thought that Yu Shiyue, that eyesore, was finally dead, she saw Yu Shiyue and Chu Yuying carrying the bedside table, walking into the elevator one after the other, and then the elevator door slowly closing... snapping the silver needle that had been shot out.
Yes.
In the blink of an eye.
The interval was less than a second.
In such a simple and careless manner, the silver needle that could have been fatal was snapped off.
Yu Shiyue escaped another calamity.
Wen Chenlu was bewildered in the wind, her mind went blank for a moment, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared in disbelief at the elevator door in front of her.
Surprisingly...
Another elevator?!
How could an elevator possibly thwart three of my assassination attempts?
Is it really that weird?
Can we just smash all the elevators?
This kind of thing that only makes people lazy shouldn't exist in this world at all!
"So they didn't succeed..."
Wen Chenlu covered her head with both hands, clenching her teeth and making a series of crunching sounds.
She broke down.
How can a person be so lucky?
One or two times can be explained by chance, but how do you explain the third time?
Is it a lucky break?
How come a homebody who never leaves the house is so hard to kill?
Wen Chenlu could easily assassinate a top-tier wealthy businessman with over 300 security guards abroad, so why is Yu Shiyue so difficult to kill?
"Lord Lan, what's wrong? You look so pale."
The thugs from the Yan Yun Gang noticed that Wen Chenlu's face was ashen, like the bottom of a pot, and were startled. They quickly asked her what was wrong.
"It's alright... You all go back first, just leave your things here, I'll watch them."
Wen Chenlu let out a deep breath and waved her hand.
"yes."
The thugs looked at each other, all seeing a hint of astonishment in each other's eyes. They never expected that the cold and ruthless Lord Lan would actually be angry today. Where did this god come from?
It should be noted that Wen Chenlu, as the blue rose among the four roses, is notorious in the Yan Yun Gang for her lack of emotions; everyone knows that.
Despite this, no one dared to ask. Everyone shrank back. Their task was to move things, and now that everything was here, and Wen Chenlu was telling them to leave, they might as well go.
We're all just working people; don't ask questions you shouldn't.
After everyone left, Wen Chenlu's expression softened slightly; her repeated failures had fueled her competitive spirit.
"Strong luck, huh... I'd like to see if my killing skills are superior, or if your strong luck is more powerful."
The dark purple Lolita dress accentuated Wen Chenlu's doll-like features, giving her a cool and aloof look.
Yu Shiyue, she must kill her.
...
"Sigh... Xiao Yihan is really persistent. After all that effort, she still got her way."
Xia Che sat on the bus, resting his chin on his hand, watching the buildings rushing past the window, and sighed softly.
If possible, I really don't want to have too much contact with law enforcement.
It's simply because Xia Che's identity is too special.
As the son of the Xia family and the only major member of the Xia family remaining in China, the atmosphere in Jiang City is gradually becoming strange. Various forces are probably coming to Jiang City, secretly searching for his whereabouts.
Amidst the undercurrents, getting involved with the police would bring Xia Che no benefit whatsoever.
Not to mention that Xia Che also has the Yan Yun Gang standing behind him. Everyone in the Yan Yun Gang, including the Four-Colored Rose, is definitely not clean-cut. You could find a whole bunch of them.
This is precisely why Xia Che initially wanted to keep his distance from Xiao Yihan.
His identity dictates that he cannot get too close to law enforcement.
But there was nothing he could do; things just happened at the right time. No matter how much Xia Che didn't want to get involved with Xiao Yihan, he couldn't escape it now.
"Looking at the moment... the only thing we can do is to resolve Yu Shiyue's troubles as soon as possible, and then sever ties with Xiao Yihan. If things continue like this, it will get complicated if we drag Four-Colored Rose and the others into it."
Xia Che's sixth sense told him that Xiao Yihan was not someone to be trifled with.
The other person has a keen sense of smell. Xia Che couldn't explain why she insisted on clinging to him and asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend, but she always thought the worst. Had the other person already sensed something?
This is something I can't think about too much, or I'll get a terrible headache.
With a long sigh, Xia Che looked out the window at the buildings rushing past, and for no reason, he felt a little heavy-hearted.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Xia Che didn't want to worry about things that hadn't even happened yet. He decided to take it one step at a time and didn't want to plan too much.
"Hmm... This afternoon is the release date, so I should be able to make it in time."
He took out his phone, clicked on a website, and saw a beautifully designed promotional poster.
Above, a cool and aloof woman dressed in white sat atop the mountain, exuding an ethereal aura. She played the zither and spoke to someone to the side. On the other side of the woman, a tall man with a handsome face and a long flute in his hand stood upright, a smile on his face.
At the very bottom of the poster, there are several eye-catching words that look like the book title:
[A fellow disciple's master falls in love with a cultivation failure?]
Below the title is another line of smaller print:
[At 4 PM, the author, Thirsty Fish, will personally visit the venue, and the first 500 book buyers will receive an autographed copy!]
Looking at the small print at the bottom, Xia Che's lips curled up slightly.
This is a very popular romance novel in Jiang City recently. As soon as it was released, it caused a huge stir. Its exquisite illustrations and smooth, captivating plot instantly attracted a large number of fans and had a wide influence.
His master, who was as aloof as a celestial being, was also one of his most ardent fans.
And this was the best gift Xia Che could think of.
What gift could be more exciting than a personally signed copy of a favorite novel?
"Hmph... Master, oh Master, others may not know your hobbies, but do you think I don't?" [Starting tomorrow, a minimum of four chapters guaranteed, I'm making this a pledge.]
