Chapter 274: Ambiguity (4)
"If you touch me, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide. You won't be able to find out anything." Shen Miao said calmly: "I have lost my innocence and must be heartbroken. In this state of despair, do you think you still have a chance to get anything out of me?"
As soon as these words came out, the short man’s hand suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the tall and thin man. The tall and thin man stared at Shen Miao and asked, “Do you know who it is?”
Shen Miao smiled slightly: “Maybe I can still remember it.”
The shorter man was somewhat stunned, while the taller, thinner man's gaze was gloomy and uncertain. Perhaps it was Shen Miao's overly calm and composed attitude that caught them off guard, or perhaps it was the fact that Shen Miao could actually threaten them in such a situation that surprised them. No woman would not care about her innocence, but Shen Miao looked like a street scoundrel. Indeed, if Shen Miao truly knew who the person in the secret room was, once they touched her, Shen Miao, filled with hatred for them, would probably never reveal the truth for the rest of her life.
Shen Miao's eyes turned slightly cold. Everyone has their weaknesses. The two people across from her seemed determined to know who was in the secret room. Now she might be the only person in the world who knew where the person was. If she were a delicate young lady from an official family, she might be scared into revealing the truth. Unfortunately, she was Empress Shen, who had experienced the ups and downs of the harem.
"What do you want?" The short man stopped touching her and put on a friendly expression: "Tell us who that person is, and we will agree to your request." His tone was like coaxing a child.
Shen Miao didn't blink and asked, "Who are you?"
The two were stunned for a moment, and the tall and thin man sneered: "What good will it do you to know who we are?"
“Maybe I can remember who that person is.” Shen Miao looked at him with a smile.
"You're stalling for time."
Shen Miao remained silent.
The short man stood up in a flash, and without thinking, he slapped Shen Miao in the face. It seemed that his patience had finally run out, and he said, "You stinky bitch, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the forfeit! Don't waste your time talking to her. Chen Xin's soldiers are guarding outside, and we can't get out. Let's take her back first. When we get back..." His smile was a little twisted: "Of course, there are plenty of ways to make her tell the truth!"
He leaned over and rubbed Shen Miao's face fiercely with his disgusting hand: "Girl, Grandpa was just being kind to you just to save you trouble. Since you don't want to live, don't blame others!"
Shen Miao's eyes flashed coldly, and she suddenly raised her hand and stabbed the man's face with the knife in her hand. The short man was caught off guard and was slashed on the face by Shen Miao, and blood immediately flowed out. Behind Shen Miao, the ropes binding her hands and feet had been worn away at some point. She was used to hiding a dagger in her sleeve, and now it was pulled out, it was a perfect surprise. After slashing, she ran outside the boat, shouting "Help!" As she ran to the cabin door, someone grabbed her hand and dragged her in, throwing her to the ground. Her entire back hit the wooden table on the boat, and she gasped in pain, shaking the boat several times. She reacted quickly, standing up without a word and running out again. The tall and thin man sneered and kicked her in the kneecap, the pain was almost excruciating. Shen Miao came to her senses, raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it in the man's eyes. The tall and thin man was startled and dodged to the side, avoiding the tip of her dagger. He cursed her "poisonous woman" and snatched the dagger from her hand. Shen Miao endured the pain in her leg and climbed up to the cabin window with both hands. Without blinking, she jumped down.
"Want to run?" The tall and thin man sneered, and without hesitation threw the dagger in his hand to the side, which went straight into Shen Miao's calf. Although it was not deeply penetrated, a bright red bloodstain quickly appeared on the surface of the lake.
