Jiang Lie replied, "Yes."
Even if he didn't say it, that traitor Dongfang Yelei must have already said it. Why would he lie and put himself in such a predicament?
Dongfang Tinglan continued, "Who is the current head of the Shennong Pavilion?"
Jiang Lie pondered for a moment and said, "Qu Rui."
There's no point in hiding this; if Dongfang Tinglan really has someone in the pavilion, this is probably just a test.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan frowned.
Senior Sister?
How could it be her?
Where did the eldest brother go?
If the eldest brother were here, how could she possibly be sitting in this position?
Others might not know, but she certainly knew who Qu Rui was.
The three of them studied medicine together. The eldest brother was determined to research medical skills, she was determined to travel the world to practice medicine and save lives, while Qu Rui was determined to gain power and status.
Their master's dying words were a warning that they must never let the position of sect leader fall into the hands of their eldest sister.
That's why she entrusted everything to her senior brother at the last moment, but she never expected that she would end up sitting in that position herself.
Dongfang Tinglan took a deep breath and asked, "What's the situation inside the pavilion now?"
"Under the leadership of Pavilion Master Qu, everything is fine within the pavilion."
"How did you know my true identity?"
The topic changed so quickly that Jiang Lie hadn't reacted for a moment before saying, "I found out by accident."
Dongfang Tinglan, "Does she know?"
Jiang Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"So everything you're doing now is due to your own personal will?"
"yes."
"You think I'd believe that? You're telling me you're here because of the Shennong Token? Then why did you attack my family!"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lie decided to speak up, "It was all thanks to Dongfang Yelei who helped me find these things. I agreed to his conditions, and I originally had no intention of targeting the Dongfang family."
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan's eyes turned cold, and she continued, "So, obtaining the Shennong Token was all your idea? And the reason you did this was also for the position of Pavilion Master?"
Because they couldn't find the Shennong Token, they wanted my family members to be buried with them!
The more he spoke, the colder and more biting his words became.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie became even more silent.
What Dongfang Tinglan said was indeed his true thought, but he absolutely could not admit it at this moment, otherwise...
"And who are you? And how did Qu Rui become the Pavilion Master? What is your relationship with her? Tell me properly."
Seeing this, Jiang Lie hesitated for a moment.
He could answer all of the previous questions.
After all, it's none of his business, so he can stay out of it.
But when asked about his identity, he didn't want to answer immediately.
If his identity were discovered, and Dongfang Tinglan were to come to the pavilion in the future, he would probably be finished.
Just as he was wondering how to say something to make himself safe, there was a sudden noise by the window.
A few seconds later, someone broke in through the window. Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize in the room immediately realized that these people were probably the man in front of them. Just as they were about to do something, the group of people who came in suddenly threw down a smoke bomb, and instantly puffs of white gas rose into the room.
Gong Beize suddenly pulled Dongfang Tinglan into his arms, saying, "Lan'er, it's dangerous." He then hid in a corner to look.
Hearing the commotion, Gong Beize's men at the door immediately opened it. The room was completely dark. As soon as the door opened, all the gas rushed towards the entrance, and everyone coughed because they weren't paying attention.
It took a long time for the room to return to normal.
Dongfang Tinglan was well protected by Gong Beize and did not inhale the pungent gas. However, Gong Beize, in order to protect Dongfang Tinglan, still inhaled quite a bit himself and couldn't help but cough.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan immediately got up from his embrace and hurriedly checked on his condition.
"Kitazawa".
Hearing this, Gong Beize took advantage of a pause in his coughing to put on a slight smile and reassure her, "I'm fine, cough cough cough..."
Dongfang Tinglan naturally didn't believe him. Seeing that he was alright, she checked his pulse to make sure there was no poison before pulling Gong Beize out of the room.
Although the unknown gas in the room had disappeared, there was still a pungent smell.
Upon arriving at the entrance, the manager of Qinxianglou also arrived late.
Seeing this scene in the room, one knew something was wrong.
The person in charge was reasonable and didn't press Dongfang Tinglan about what had happened. After all, in a place like theirs where privacy and intelligence are taken seriously, such things are quite common.
The manager was very friendly and said, "Are you two alright? Do you need an ambulance to take you to the hospital for a check-up? Qinxianglou will reimburse all medical expenses."
Dongfang Tinglan looked at her subordinates and nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Please go downstairs to the reception room to rest for a while."
So everyone went downstairs.
In the reception room.
A subordinate rushed over and asked, "Master, what should we do with that woman?"
Suddenly, Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize remembered that such a person existed. Gong Beize immediately said, "Take him back and keep a close watch on him."
"Yes, Master."
The ambulance arrived quickly.
And the fact that three ambulances arrived at once made many people wonder what had happened that required so many ambulances.
Subsequently, Gong Beize, supported by Dongfang Tinglan, walked towards one of the vehicles, while his subordinates who had been forced to inhale the gas at the door earlier got into the two ambulances behind.
At the hospital.
The doctor examined both Gong Beize and Dongfang Tinglan. The reason for examining Dongfang Tinglan was because Gong Beize insisted on it, and Dongfang Tinglan had no choice but to agree.
The doctor, standing between the two patients in their room, reviewed the diagnosis and said, "Both of you are fine; you've just inhaled some harmful gases. You can go home after taking some oxygen."
Hearing this, the two were finally relieved, and Dongfang Tinglan said, "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome."
...
On the other side...
Jiang Lie was rescued by his own people. Instead of returning to the hotel where he had been with Ouyang Yunruo, he checked into a new hotel.
This time, he has people protecting him at all times.
After all, he learned from his mistakes and never dared to underestimate others or overestimate himself again.
Jiang Lie asked, "What happened after I left?"
The subordinate said, "Our men threw ordinary smoke grenades. Those people ended up being taken to the hospital by ambulance and haven't come out yet."
Suddenly, Jiang Lie continued, "When they left, did they see where Ouyang Yunruo was taken?"
"Yes, a group of people took her back to the Eastern family first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie frowned.
Ouyang Yunruo is probably not a trustworthy person.
"Send someone to the Dongfang family to rescue her. If they can't rescue her, you know what to do."
