Chapter 232: Yamen Runners Arrive
Chu Ci frowned and continued to ask, "Then where is this Mingxiang usually used? How does your organization control its use?"
However, perhaps because the question touched the most secret part of his heart, Mu Diao actually struggled slightly, as if he wanted to break free from the hypnosis and wake up.
His facial muscles twitched slightly and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Chu Ci quickly slowed down his tone, and said softly and gently, "Don't be afraid. As long as you tell the truth, there will be no danger."
"I will protect you. No one will hurt you. Trust me. Relax, take it easy, and slowly tell us everything you know."
As expected, Mu Diao slowly relaxed. "This incense is usually activated during important missions. It allows the organization to track the movements of its members, ensuring the mission's success and the members' loyalty."
"As for the method of implantation, I've heard from senior members of the organization that it can be incorporated into food or performed through special rituals."
"There are people within the organization who are responsible for controlling Mingxiang. They can use special means or drugs to stimulate the scent of Mingxiang and thus determine the location and status of members."
"If any member harbors thoughts of betrayal or attempts to escape, the controller will activate Mingxiang's toxicity, causing the betrayer to suffer immense pain, or even death."
At this point, Mu Diao seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying scene. His face instantly lost all color, his pupils shrank sharply, his body began to tremble violently, and he even struggled desperately, as if he wanted to escape from this terrible memory.
Seeing this, Chu Ci could only comfort her again softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over. Just talk slowly, nothing will happen."
At the same time, Chu Ci gently pressed Mu Diao's shoulders with his hands, trying to calm him down.
However, this time Mu Diao was not appeased like before. His struggle became more intense and his emotions were almost out of control.
Seeing this, Chu Ci had no choice but to turn around and look around. Finally, his eyes fell on the faces of Zhang Tao and Lin Hui. He said with a gloomy expression: "I'm sorry, but I really can't ask any further."
Zhang and Lin, the two young men, were unwilling to give in. "Can't we ask about that Bai sister?"
Chu Ci was fully aware of their anxiety, but he still patiently explained, "That woman has been in contact with various drugs for a long time, and her body has a strong drug resistance."
"With my current technology, it's difficult to conduct an effective hypnotic interrogation on her. I also want to help you get more information as soon as possible, but the reality is that I am unable to do so."
The two young men, Zhang and Lin, were not stupid people. They knew the current situation very well.
Therefore, even though I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, I could only endure it and said sensibly, "I'm sorry, we really have caused trouble for everyone."
Lin Hui, who was clearly more articulate and diplomatic than Zhang Tao, continued, "We were simply too worried about Yunyun and his mother's safety to be in such a state of panic and confusion."
"We are very clear in our hearts that everyone is doing their utmost and working tirelessly for this matter."
"We were indeed impulsive and reckless just now. I hope you will not hold it against us. From now on, we will adjust our attitude and cooperate wholeheartedly with everyone's actions."
Zhang Tao heard Lin Hui say this and nodded like a chick pecking at rice, agreeing, "Right, right, right, Lin Hui is absolutely right. We were too anxious and inconsiderate. Please forgive us."
"We will definitely be more careful in the future and won't act so impulsively again."
Chu Ci was about to offer some words of comfort when the eldest prince turned serious and said sternly, "This prince doesn't listen to nonsense, he only looks at actions. Talking without doing will not solve the problem. This prince wants results."
The two young men, Zhang and Lin, knew that the King of Shu was dissatisfied with their previous impulsive and reckless offensive behavior.
Suddenly, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he repeatedly assured her, "Your Highness, King Shu, please calm down. We will be careful with our words and actions in the future and will never make the same mistake again."
Seeing this, the eldest prince remained calm and said in a calm tone, "Get up! But don't forget your promise. If you make any mistakes again, I will not forgive you."
When Chu Ci saw the two docile young men, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As expected, no matter what dynasty or era they are in, men are all species that admire strong men.
She seemed to be being sentimental, and then she turned to look at Fan Jingrui beside her, "Husband, let's go back..."
Before Chu Ci could finish his words, a hurried guard came rushing over to report, "Young Master, Fifth Young Master. Lin Yun has gone missing. The Lin family was extremely worried when they discovered he had gone missing, and they immediately reported it to the authorities. After a thorough investigation, the yamen runners discovered that Lin Yun had ridden in our carriage, and now Young Master Lin Zheng of the Lin family is coming here in a rage."
Even though I had expected it, I didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince frowned slightly, his heart filled with regret. If only he had been able to interrogate Lin Yun's true whereabouts earlier, that would have been much better. That way, he could have taken the initiative and not have to deal with it passively like he did now.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The current situation is like this and we can only take roundabout measures.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince couldn't help but look at Chu Ci and prayed silently in his heart: I hope Princess Yixin's good luck will remain.
Otherwise, things will only become more and more difficult and troublesome, and it will be even more difficult to resolve them properly.
Although the eldest prince was preoccupied with thoughts, this did not prevent him from issuing an order. "Come, take Zhang Tao and Lin Feng away and keep them under guard."
"As for Lin Zheng outside, who is aggressive and has ill intentions, I'll ask Brother Fan and Princess Yixin to deal with him." The eldest prince looked at Fan Jingrui with eyes full of expectations and unreserved trust.
No matter when and where, Fan Jingrui always treated the two princes with great courtesy.
He bowed slightly, his expression respectful, his tone firm and sincere, and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. I will do my best to live up to your trust and handle this matter properly."
And in the short time they were talking, the yamen runners from Meicheng had already knocked on the door of the place where Chu Ci and his friends rented a house in a threatening manner.
Chu Ci knew in her heart that it was time for them to appear as husband and wife. She raised her hand slightly and looked at Fan Jingrui expectantly: "Husband."
Even though Fan Jingrui knew that this was mostly acting, he couldn't help but feel excited. His face was filled with eagerness as he said, "My lady, please go slowly."
The Fifth Prince couldn't bear to see Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci being so affectionate. He snorted coldly, "Cousin, you two are being so affectionate here. Aren't you afraid that Lin Zheng outside will lose his patience and come in?"
