Faced with the city lord's aggressive questioning, Xu Nian was extremely annoyed.
She really didn't want to reach any conclusion with this wicked person.
However, if the current situation is not resolved in time, not only will the bet not be won, but all the residents present will be in danger.
Thinking it over, Xu Nian could only patiently say again, "Our bet still stands, but let me investigate first..."
Before Xu Nian could finish speaking, the city lord waved his hand impatiently.
"What's there to investigate? That's just the truth!"
He continued, "Although I know it's a bit unreasonable to ask you to defeat me, it was your own request after all, hahaha, since you've lost, then kneel down and beg me!"
The city lord, with a lewd grin on his face, tried to get closer to Xu Nian, but was stopped by an extremely strong force.
Gu Zhan held the sword in his hand, pointing it directly at the city lord's heart.
His expression was icy, and he curled his lips into a smile. "If you don't want to die here, you'd better shut your mouth."
Brother Li, who was standing to the side, panicked and tried to step forward, but was frightened by Gu Zhan's venomous and cold gaze and took several steps back.
The city lord trembled inwardly, but forced a smile and said, "What? You're going to kill me to silence me just because you can't win?"
Seeing him act like a rogue, Gu Zhan's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak, instead turning his gaze to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian sensed the meaning in his eyes and looked solemnly at Da Bao, who was trembling in her arms.
【What should we do, streamer? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?】
Is it enough to find out who administered the drug?
I have a feeling it must be one of those people who got rejected by the streamer before.
In fact, Xu Nian had more or less guessed that this incident must have been a deliberate act of revenge.
Since that's the case...
Xu Nian placed Da Bao on the nearby haystack, her eyes gradually darkening.
She will definitely not let this go easily!
In an instant, Xu Nian closed her eyes and softly chanted an incantation, "All things in the universe are gathered within, and all kinds of patterns are revealed before my eyes!"
As she slowly exhaled the final incantation, a wisp of dark green smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air, swirling around her.
Wow, what's this now, streamer?
[It seems the streamer is serious this time, wow!]
[She would only show such a terrifying expression if her family and friends were in danger!]
The viewers in the live stream had a pretty good grasp of Xu Nian's temperament.
If someone were to insult her at will, perhaps the person on the other end wouldn't suffer any fatal consequences.
But if they slander and harm her friends, they will surely die a horrible death!
Gu Zhan watched Xu Nian's movements, his sword slowly falling, but he kept his eyes fixed on the city lord.
The city lord was stunned by the incantation Xu Nian was muttering and unconsciously stared at her.
Xu Nian, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them and pointed his finger into the air, shouting, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Appear!"
The green smoke from before suddenly came to life, swirling around and disappearing rapidly before everyone could even catch their breath.
On the other side.
Li Yuan'an looked at the poison in his hand and felt an unusual sense of satisfaction.
He anticipated that the people and Xu Nian would drink water, so he secretly put the medicine in the water when they weren't looking.
The thought of Xu Nian's frantic state made Li Yuan'an feel extremely happy.
"You damned bitch, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my job!"
Even now, Li Yuan'an still believes that Xu Nian is the reason he can no longer live the happy life he used to.
So he wasn't going to give up at all; this revenge was just the beginning for him.
Just as he was basking in the thrill of revenge, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Li Yuan'an was taken aback. He looked up and found that there was no one outside the door.
"Hmm?" He got up curiously and looked around.
All around was quiet; there wasn't a sound.
Could it be that he has tinnitus?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Perhaps it's because he's been under too much stress these past few days.
As Li Yuan'an was preparing to devise his next plan, his mind suddenly went blank, and he uncontrollably fell backward.
All he could see was darkness. In the last second before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see a wisp of green smoke...
Xu Nian, who was manipulating the smoke, suddenly opened his eyes and sneered, "Heh, caught."
Upon hearing this, the city lord was immediately taken aback.
He thought Xu Nian was just making a compromise, but now it seems she has really discovered who the real culprit was who drugged her.
That won't do!
So the city lord stepped forward, just as he was about to stop him, Li Yuan'an stumbled into everyone's sight.
He held a half-used vial of poison in his hand, a lewd smile on his lips, muttering to himself.
"Xu Nian, damn Xu Nian..."
Xu Nian gave him a mocking look and loosely clenched her hands.
Li Yuan'an, who had been in a daze, was suddenly awakened.
He looked around in a panic: countless unconscious civilians, Xu Nian staring at him coldly, and the city lord who was disappointed in him.
What, what's going on?!
"Wasn't I in my room? How did I get here? What happened?!"
Li Yuan'an completely broke down, throwing the medicine in his hand to the ground, his face filled with terror.
Xu Nian didn't want to waste any more words with him, so she raised her hand and slapped a yellow talisman on his head.
The patterns on the talisman instantly shone with golden light and entered Li Yuan'an's mind.
Seeing this, Xu Nian remained calm and said indifferently, "You're the one who drugged me, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan'an quickly retorted, "It wasn't me, it wasn't... Ah! It hurts, it wasn't... Ah!"
But every time he said no, his head would be torn apart by a splitting pain, making him feel like he was dying.
Xu Nian wasn't in a hurry, and increased the pressure on her hand. "I'll ask you one more time, it's you, isn't it?"
Li Yuan'an was covered in sweat, his pupils were tightly contracted, and the words of denial were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them.
It was as if a sharp sword was hanging above his head, ready to pronounce his death at any moment.
Finally, Li Yuan'an was driven to madness by the torment, shouting, "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, it was me!"
After saying that, he slumped down, his eyes glazed over as he murmured, "It shouldn't be like this..."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Nian immediately tossed him aside like trash.
She looked up and met the city lord's slightly frightened eyes. "Now do you understand clearly who drugged me?"
Faced with Xu Nian's icy gaze, the city lord instinctively shrank back.
But then he remembered that he was in a dominant position.
The city lord chuckled and said nonchalantly, "So what?"
He looked around, his disdain undisguised. "With your dilapidated wooden house, these vegetable seedlings, and your weak chicks, do you think you can beat me?"
"That's utterly delusional!"
