Looking at Wang Qi's smug expression, Mo Han was convinced that she was behind it all.
Mo Han pointed at Wang Qi and said coldly, "Wang Qi, although you are the city lord's daughter, you should still be mindful of your status. I am now the commander of the allied forces. Do you know the consequences of slandering the commander?"
Wang Qi completely disregarded Mo Han's warning, instead coldly snorting, "Hmph, Commander Mo, everyone is watching your actions. If you really hadn't done anything improper with your junior brother, how could it have taken so long to uncover the truth? As far as I know, you're the one who knows Young Master Mo best!"
Mo Han ignored Wang Qi with a cold face and looked at Gu Liyan. He was extremely weak, but he was still trying his best not to faint. Mo Han couldn't bear it and went forward to untie the ropes on Gu Liyan's body.
Seeing Mo Han's behavior, Wang Qi pressed on, "Commander Mo, do you know how disappointing it is that you've abused your power for personal gain!"
Mo Han said firmly, "Whether you are disappointed or not is none of my business! I only know that if I don't protect him, he will definitely be very disappointed in me!"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han, and even though his body was ice cold, he felt a surge of warmth.
Mo Han continued, "You're right. I know Xiao Li well, so I'm very clear that he's definitely not the murderer!"
Gu Liyan regained her freedom, but was so weak from the pain that she almost fell. Fortunately, Mo Han was by her side, and she fell into Mo Han's arms.
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han gratefully. "Senior brother..." Gu Liyan was too tired to open his eyes.
"Don't worry, your senior brother will protect you this time!" Mo Han said with a serious expression, then turned to look at everyone and said coldly, "I haven't found out the truth, and neither have you investigated the truth about the breakup! If you insist on forcing a confession, then I'm sorry, I have to take the person away today!"
The crowd looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward and speak up to stop them.
"You can leave, but he must stay!" Just as Mo Han was about to leave with Gu Liyan, Huo Tong got up from the ground and roared angrily, "He is the poisoner! You personally led the men to arrest him! Don't forget, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be trapped here now, nor would we be so weak from the poison! Also, everyone, don't forget, Commander Mo, you haven't shown any signs of poisoning. What does that mean? It can only mean that the poisoner has no connection with you, so he didn't harm you!"
Mo Han's face darkened; she hadn't expected Huo Tong to seize this opportunity!
Before Huo Tonghua could finish speaking, she turned and pointed to her own disfigured appearance, saying, "Look everyone! Those who are poisoned will have their faces ruined, just like me! My appearance is already disfigured like this, and if the poison worsens in you, you'll probably end up like this too! So even if he doesn't die today—"
Huo Tong pointed fiercely at Gu Liyan and said, "He must hand over the antidote!"
"Yes! We must make him hand over the antidote!"
"Hand over the antidote!"
"Hand over the antidote!"
Incited by Huo Tong, everyone disregarded Commander Mo Han's status and surrounded him, speaking menacingly.
Seeing that the crowd had lost control, Mo Han clenched her fists, ready to make a move. Seeing Mo Han's angry expression, Wang Qi in the crowd revealed a smug smile.
Gu Liyan noticed Mo Han's emotions, raised his head as if to say something, but then his head fell heavily back into Mo Han's arms.
Mo Han's heart tightened, and she looked down at Gu Liyan anxiously, asking, "Xiao Li, how are you?"
Gu Liyan was pale and breathing rapidly; the poison in his body was starting to act up again!
Gu Liyan endured the pain, clutching Mo Han's clothes tightly, almost fainting on the spot from the agony.
Mo Han sensed that something was wrong with Gu Liyan and hurriedly said, "Xiao Li, hold on for a while, I'll take you away right away!"
Mo Han raised her head and shouted at the crowd, "Get out of my way right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
But Mo Han's words were lost in the crowd and had no effect whatsoever.
Just then, a stone flew from the crowd and hit Gu Liyan on the forehead. Gu Liyan groaned and trembled all over, and a bloody mark flowed down his forehead.
Seeing Gu Liyan bleeding, Mo Han roared furiously, "Who? Who hit her! Step forward!"
As soon as she finished speaking, many people in the crowd bent down, picked up stones from the ground, and threw them at Gu Liyan on the stage. Mo Han hurriedly shielded Gu Liyan behind her, letting the stones hit her, and angrily shouted, "If you have the guts, don't leave!"
Seeing such a chaotic scene, Wang Qi almost burst into laughter, because Huo Tong's words had stirred up everyone's will to survive, and they had completely gone mad!
Seeing Mo Han standing in front of him, Gu Liyan became worried and hurriedly said, "Stop, don't fight... I, I know where the antidote for this poison is!"
Mo Han was taken aback, and upon hearing Gu Liyan's voice, she hurriedly said, "Everyone, stop arguing! He said there's an antidote!"
Huo Tong frowned as he looked at Gu Liyan, his face filled with disbelief.
“Tell me, where is the antidote?” An elderly man stepped forward.
Gu Liyan, pale and weak, said, "The Liu family is preparing the antidote. I... I provided them with the medicinal herbs. As long as we wait patiently, we'll get the antidote soon..."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The old man continued, "Has the antidote been successfully developed?"
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I...I don't know..."
"In that case, why don't we go and ask the Liu family?" the old man suggested.
Everyone nodded and prepared to go to the Liu residence. Seeing that they intended to leave Gu Liyan alone, Huo Tong became anxious. "Let's put aside the matter of the antidote for now. The poisoner must be punished!"
