"Ah Chen, from an outsider's perspective, I think Su Zhirou can be considered a suspect. Besides, those three people have no connection with her, so they have no reason to frame him without any reason."
Tang Chen still insisted on his attitude and opinion, saying: "Anyway, I don't believe this matter has anything to do with Zhirou unless they produce solid evidence!"
Seeing Tang Chen getting so anxious and angry, Hong Yu said to him like she was coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, calm down first. We're leaving the day after tomorrow. Who knows if we can find out the truth by then."
Calculating the time, Tang Chen tried hard to calm his anger and said, "Let's go check on the person who eavesdropped. If we hadn't discovered him, we wouldn't have stayed at Shi Zairong's place for so long, and the recipe and Huangfu Bin wouldn't have disappeared together."
Hong Yu asked in return, "You can go, but are you absolutely sure you can get the truth out of him?"
Tang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Let's go and take a look first. I'm really not good at questioning people. But I believe that even the most stubborn people have weaknesses. Let's observe first. Maybe we can find some helpful clues."
However, before the two of them could reach the place where the criminals were being interrogated, Xiao Liang ran into them head-on, sweating profusely. Tang Chen saw Xiao Liang walking hurriedly, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly grabbed him and looked at him, asking, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Liang glanced at the two of them before saying, "Don't mention it. The spy took advantage of the guards not paying attention and hit the wall."
Hong Yu asked, "Has that person been rescued?"
Xiao Liang sighed slightly and said, "We are still rescuing them. I won't say any more. I have to go tell the Grand Tutor first."
Hong Yu took advantage of the situation and pulled Tang Chen out of the way, saying, "Okay, let's go check out the situation first."
When the two of them arrived, the doctor was already packing up. Looking at the horrifying bloodstain on the wall, anyone with a sound mind could tell that the man could not be saved.
Tang Chen used his hand to feel the man whose forehead was bruised, and after feeling his very weak pulse and breathing, he suddenly came up with an idea:
"Hong Yu, do you have a way to keep him alive for now?"
Hong Yu, who was suddenly called out, half-knelt down beside Tang Chen with a bewildered look on his face and said, "For the time being? Do you have any ideas?"
Tang Chen said: "Perhaps, by following his last consciousness, we can find some interesting places."
Hong Yu is worthy of being the next Patriarch of the Huangfu Family. She was able to react immediately to Tang Chen's expression, which is remarkable. "Okay, I can give it a try. However, this method can only keep him alive for a short time. His actions will be controlled by the strongest will in his heart at the moment, just like some people with strong will can snatch a spark of time from the hands of death in order to complete a certain task."
Tang Chen said: "That's enough, let's try it."
Hong Yu stood up and said to the people in the prison, "Please everyone leave first. What I just talked about was the secret technique of the Huangfu family, which is not convenient to show to others."
While Tang Chen was waiting outside, Shi Zairong happened to have heard the news. On the way, he also met Huangfu Xiong and came over together. After Tang Chen briefly explained what had just happened, everyone waited anxiously outside for news of Hong Yu.
Tang Chen heard some strange noises inside and was about to stand in front of the door to eavesdrop. But before he could bend down, the door suddenly opened. The man who had been dying on the ground, with his hands and upper limbs almost hanging to the ground, walked out in a terrifying manner, just like the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies, which almost gave Tang Chen a heart attack.
"Wow, that scared me, but it looks like it worked!"
Hong Yu nodded and said, "It was quite successful, but I don't know how long it can last."
Huangfu Xiong couldn't help but frown as he watched the prisoner, who was dragging his heavy body out and clinging to his last breath, walk away. Mustering up the courage, he approached Hong Yu and said, "Miss, why don't I seem to have heard of your name in the Huangfu family?"
Hong Yu explained, "Oh, it's like this. I don't like going out very much, and I don't usually hang out with my Huangfu family relatives. This is my first time traveling far away, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."
Huangfu Xiong's eyes were filled with envy as he said, "This Gu technique is not something that ordinary outer disciples can learn. I didn't expect that the Huangfu family would have a woman as powerful as you."
Hong Yu smiled and said, "You're not bad either. Even your father couldn't cultivate the Shengxi Gu after so many years of hard work. It shows that your talent is unmatched."
Shi Zairong said that the two of them seemed to have talked too much today, praising each other all the time. Don't wait until Huangfu Xiong has some bad thoughts about her, then he might not know how to deal with it properly. "Alright, let's talk about the compliments later. Let's follow and see for ourselves first."
God cannot satisfy everyone's sudden whims. Tang Chen's seemingly whimsical suggestion did not bring them any useful benefits in the end.
The prisoner's last breath, sustained by the poisonous insect, eventually dissipated on the road to the town entrance. The moment his body fell to the ground, the short period of time he had snatched from death was completely consumed.
Tang Chen squatted down in disappointment, looking at the cold body on the ground, and said, "...Is this the end?"
Hong Yu couldn't hide his frustration and said, "That should be the case. My last and strongest hope is to leave. Don't lose heart. Who knows, maybe we can gain something from General Xie."
After half-crouching and observing the corpse for a long time, Tang Chen reached out and took off the man's coat. Seeing this, everyone found it difficult to understand Tang Chen's actions: "What are you doing?"
After Tang Chen carefully arranged the man's clothes, he whispered, "...Try it one last time."
Hong Yu pressed on, "What did you say?"
Tang Chen said: "Let's go find someone and ask him to help with some small things."
Shi Zairong asked, "Do you need us to follow?"
Tang Chen shook her head. She was planning to go look for Ou Yezi, but it would be inconvenient if Ou Yezi revealed his identity too early. They didn't need to be such a nuisance, so she just followed him around. "Forget it. There's no need to send anyone after us. Qiu Liang and General Xie are still busy looking for someone, so why don't you all go and help?"
Tang Chen's words were so clear that Shi Zairong couldn't say anything more. However, Huangfu Xiong would definitely not give him the opportunity to have too much contact with Hong Yu: "Then you guys be careful. Brother Huangfu, do you want to come with me to help?"
