Qiao Wanwan smiled slightly. "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Don't worry."
"Qiao Wanwan!" Zhan Jingting roared, "Who gave you permission to do this? Do you know how dangerous that is!"
“I know,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”
"I'm not in the mood for food right now." The man's handsome face was tense. "Didn't I say that everything here must be done according to my orders? Not only did you ignore my words, but you even dared to knock me unconscious and send me on a dangerous mission. Did you think about the consequences?"
Qiao Wanwan looked at him and said, "Jingting, I'm sorry. Of course I've thought about all the consequences, the consequences of not doing what he said, and the consequences of you going. I've thought about them all."
"But unfortunately, I can't bear either of these consequences. If we don't go, what if he gets angry and really abuses Zaozao? What's the difference between that and killing Zaozao? If you go, what if he grabs you again to threaten me? So I only have one choice."
“But I didn’t act impulsively. I calculated that he wouldn’t kill me for the time being, so I went alone, and that’s why I came back safely.”
Zhan Jingting hugged her tightly, his grip so strong it felt like he wanted to melt her into his very bones.
“I don’t want to argue with you, and I know you’re very opinionated. I can’t stop you…” The man’s voice was low and hoarse. “Fine, next time you don’t need to knock me out. I’ll let you go. If you don’t come back, I’ll die here with you.”
Qiao Wanwan's nose tingled, and she choked up, "I won't die, we'll all live well... I'm hungry, let's go eat."
"good."
At the dinner table, Zhan Jingting didn't ask about what happened today. He just ate his meal while serving food to Qiao Wanwan.
Zhan Yin observed the two of them, his heart pounding with anxiety.
"Why are you all so calm? Now that we've lost our hostage and Zaozao hasn't returned, he can do whatever he wants even more. We need to come up with a plan quickly!"
"No rush," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Eat your food."
"You guys are really patient. Even I, a foodie, have lost my appetite..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Wanwan's phone rang.
She took it out and glanced at it, then looked at Zhan Jingting, "It should be him."
"Take it."
Qiao Wanwan swiped to answer the call, "Hello?"
"Qiao Wanwan, you dare to lie to me!" The voice from the voice changer was filled with barely suppressed anger. "I should have known better than to think you'd be so obedient!"
Qiao Wanwan curled her lips, "If we don't even make this much preparation, we'll all be wiped out and die at your hands sooner or later."
"Very well, but you must pay the price for your actions. I will not only give your sister to my men, but I will also shoot this fake you sent!"
"I advise you to calm down." Qiao Wanwan took a sip of soup and said calmly, "The reason you only called me now is because you are extremely cautious. You were afraid that I would install a tracking device on him, so you must have checked him inside and out several times to find the tracking device before you met him, right?"
The other party snorted coldly, "You really have some tricks up your sleeve. Even though you've changed the person, you still managed to install a tracker on him and hide it in his wound. That's ruthless!"
“If he didn’t have this, wouldn’t you be suspicious? Of course, if you’re going to put on an act, you have to go all the way,” Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. “But the only thing you can find out is the tracker. As for the other things, no matter how careful you are or how advanced the equipment you use, you won’t be able to find them.”
What do you mean?
"Since you know me so well, you should know that I am the Ghost Hand Healer. Besides using medicine to treat illnesses, the Ghost Hand Healer is also skilled in using poisons." Qiao Wanwan put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and continued, "I used a peculiar poison on him, colorless and odorless, a poison that won't disappear even after bathing. Anyone who gets within ten meters of him will be poisoned. If I'm not mistaken, you're already poisoned. If you dare to kill him, or defile my sister, I guarantee you will die a very, very terrible death..."
"Qiao, Wan, Wan..."
"The game has only just begun, why are you already so eager to kill me?" Qiao Wanwan chuckled and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, this poison was personally developed for you. Even my master can't cure it. I'll slowly avenge my master's death at your hands last time, and you can enjoy it while you can!"
"Try the taste of this poison first. If you really can't stand it, then contact me. Maybe when I'm in a better mood, I'll make you feel a little better. But you must remember, the premise is that my sister and my men cannot suffer any harm."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
Zhan Yin was bewildered. "Wanwan, what's going on?"
"Didn't you understand?" Qiao Wanwan explained, "The He Songling I brought was a fake. I found a subordinate with a similar build to him and had him impersonate him using a human skin mask."
"You're amazing!" Zhan Yin's eyes sparkled. "I knew it! How could you let him take the initiative so easily? It turns out you were using a strategy of retreating to advance!"
“He’s too arrogant. No matter how careful an arrogant person is, there will always be loopholes,” Qiao Wanwan said coldly. “This is his territory, that’s true, but that’s precisely why he’s so relaxed. At such a critical moment, the worst thing you can do is be blindly confident and relaxed.”
"Then is the poison you just mentioned real?" Zhan Yin asked. "You always say that the duty of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor is to heal the sick and save lives, and that he must not have any intention to harm people."
“It’s true that one shouldn’t have malicious intentions, but do you even consider him a human being? In a war, the first to behead the saint is the one to be killed. If I had any pity for someone like him and couldn’t bring myself to do it, then I should be the first to die.” Qiao Wanwan’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. “Not to mention that he hurt Jing Ting before. What he did to us, I must get back tenfold!”
"Yes! That's how it should be!" Zhan Yin was overjoyed. "Wanwan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you had lost the hostage. I didn't expect you to be so well prepared."
"It's alright. This matter needs to be kept strictly confidential. Only Jing Ting, the bodyguard guarding He Songling, and I know about it. I should apologize to you for hiding it from you."
"No need, no need," Zhan Yin said generously. "The fewer people who know about this, the better. It's only right that you keep it a secret. I'm not angry with you."
"I knew you'd be the most generous."
"That's right." Zhan Yin was extremely arrogant. "Don't you even know who I am!"
“But this matter is far from over,” Qiao Wanwan said. “He was indeed poisoned, but Zaozao was very likely poisoned as well. To force him to take the medicine, I deliberately increased the dosage. Not many people can endure this kind of pain, including Zaozao…”
