Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan immediately understood Gong Beize's concerns.
She didn't really blame him for not understanding; if it were anything else, she would listen to him.
But she couldn't do it.
She had been gone for so many years and knew nothing about the Pavilion. Her senior brother had disappeared many years ago, and she wondered if he was still in the Pavilion. She wondered if there was another reason why they hadn't been in touch for so many years.
Now that this person has suddenly appeared in her life, she just wants to know who he is, and she also wants to get some useful information from him.
Dongfang Tinglan said patiently, "Bei Ze, I'm not a child. I can take care of myself. I won't put myself in danger."
Gong Beize clearly did not believe her because of this.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan took out a medicine bottle from the side and said, "Look at this."
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize glanced over and immediately noticed the medicine bottle in her hand. He quickly asked, "What is this?"
Dongfang Tinglan said, "Don't forget, I am also a doctor. Although my medical skills are not as good as Xue'er's, they are not bad either."
Furthermore, since I can heal and save lives, I can also harm them. This is a colorless and odorless poison I concocted; I call it "Cartilage Powder." Anyone who smells it will instantly become powerless, and its effects last for six hours.
Gong Beize still seemed unconvinced, asking, "Really? You're not just trying to put me at ease by lying to me?"
Dongfang Tinglan drew in her breath, "Why would I risk my life? Why would I do that?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize did not speak immediately, but stared intently at Dongfang Tinglan, as if trying to find a flaw in her face.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan continued, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."
He was about to open the bottle cap when he said that.
Seeing this, Gong Beize panicked and quickly stopped Dongfang Tinglan's actions, then said.
"I believe you, I believe you, don't do anything reckless."
It's less than six hours until 5 p.m., not a time to mess around.
If this medicine is real, he probably won't be able to do anything then.
Dongfang Tinglan, "Really?"
Gong Beize nodded hurriedly, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Lan'er, how do you plan to bring this in, and how do you use it so that they won't suspect anything?"
Dongfang Tinglan said, "I'll just sprinkle it on my clothes. It's colorless and odorless, so even if they have any suspicions, they won't be able to find out."
Gong Beize frowned and said, "Then weren't you poisoned too?"
Dongfang Tinglan laughed and said, "No, I will take the antidote in advance, and you and your men will also take it in advance, so even if they smell it, it won't matter."
Seeing this, Gong Beize was finally relieved.
"How about I try the medicine first?"
He disagreed earlier because he was worried there was no antidote, but being drugged would cause him trouble. Now that he heard there was an antidote, he was willing to give it a try.
Dongfang Tinglan shook her head and said, "That won't work. If you don't take the antidote, even if you do, it will take several hours for you to fully recover your strength."
Seeing this, Gong Beize felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
...
Dongfang Yelei returned to his study and immediately called Jiang Lie.
As soon as the call connected, Dongfang Yelei said, "Sir, I've caught her. When would be a convenient time for me to bring her over?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, "You caught them?"
Dongfang Yelei said, "Yes, I caught him. Does the lord not believe in my abilities?"
Jiang Lie didn't answer, but instead asked, "How were you caught?"
Dongfang Yelei frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I arranged to meet her and then struck her when she wasn't looking. Now the entire Dongfang family is looking for her, so I have to get her out of here quickly, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself when they find me. How about 5 PM this afternoon, still at Qinxiang Pavilion? Is that alright with you?"
Hearing Dongfang Yelei say this, Jiang Lie had no doubts and immediately said, "Okay."
...
Before we knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Lie sat down impatiently, glanced at his expensive watch, and saw that the minute hand was pointing to 12 o'clock, meaning it was already 5 o'clock.
He was accompanied by Ouyang Yunruo. Originally, he had not planned to take her out, but Ouyang Yunruo happened to return when he went out and begged him to bring her along.
After thinking about it, he figured there was nothing wrong with her coming over, so he agreed.
Ouyang Yunruo checked the time on her phone and said, "What kind of attitude is this? We agreed to meet at five o'clock, and we've arrived and there's still no sign of him. Is he lying to us?"
Jiang Lie said with a gloomy face, "He dares!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ouyang Yunruo paused, and just as she was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The two looked over at the same time and saw Dongfang Yelei walk in with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, sir, there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm late."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo immediately realized that Dongfang Yelei was lying.
How can there be a traffic jam at this time? It's not rush hour. It's obvious that this person did it on purpose.
Jiang Lie knew perfectly well that, but since the other party had done such a good job of maintaining appearances, how could he possibly slap a smiling face at them?
"It's alright. Where is he?"
Dongfang Yelei smiled and said, "No rush, sir. I have brought the person, but I have a condition."
Jiang Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Dongfang Yelei said, "Give me 5 billion, and I will hand the person over to you. At the same time, I will hide all the secrets I know and never appear in Lancheng again."
He has worked for him for so many years, and although he has not made any great contributions, he has certainly put in a lot of hard work.
And yet he actually wanted to walk away and leave him to bear the consequences alone. He became increasingly distrustful of the words and promises made by the person in front of him.
He would rather keep the money, ensure his future security, and find a place where no one knows him to live a good life.
This was something he had planned before he came.
Before coming, he called Zheng Cheng, who told him that there was still no trace of Dongfang Yi, which made him a little panicked.
If Dongfang Yi really comes back alive, he probably won't even be able to save his own life, let alone his previous desire for the position of head of the Dongfang family.
Rather than putting yourself in danger, you might as well take some money and leave.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo immediately retorted angrily, "5 billion? Why don't you just rob someone!"
Keep in mind that she doesn't even have 5 billion. How many people in this world can earn that much money in their lifetime?
Ignoring Ouyang Yunruo, Dongfang Yelei nonchalantly said to Jiang Lie, "Although I don't know what you want from my little sister, I suspect it's something extraordinary. If I tell my sister about this, do you think you'll still have a chance to get it?"
Ouyang Yunruo was completely confused and looked at Jiang Lie, asking, "Brother Lie, what is he talking about?"
