Pei Nansheng didn't move, thinking to himself, at worst he could take his younger siblings and go far away to the ends of the earth.
He and Zuo Ling managed to escape, but Xiao Hao is in the guard regiment... Sigh, this is a bit troublesome...
Chief Mei, that old fox, has their Achilles' heel.
Holding up the bottle in her hand, Zuo Ling said calmly:
"There are more than ten kinds of sea snake venom in here. It was just taken out, it's still warm. I don't know what will happen if I prick it with a needle..."
My gaze shifted downwards, and I saw the sewing needle circling the man, as if searching for the right place to strike.
The man felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at the direction the needle was moving.
With a wolf pinning him down, he was already terrified, and Zuo Ling's fright almost made him unable to move.
"I'll ask you one last time, what are you doing at my house?"
The man was sweating profusely, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
"I...I,I...I'm just taking a...a stroll, what's wrong with that? Don't be so domineering."
"very good!"
Zuo Ling plunged the sewing needle in her hand into the man's thigh.
The crowd gasped in shock. Qian Yu and He Guiqi turned deathly pale, and the man's nephew's legs buckled, his voice hoarse with fear:
"Zuo Ling, how dare you!"
A tingling, electric shock-like sensation shot through the man, who cried out as he felt the leg that had been pricked by the needle become immobile, and the pain seemed to spread upwards.
Zuo Ling glanced at the soldier, a hint of sarcasm in her lips. "I've already done it, what else is there to be afraid of?"
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling cold and numb all over, like your chest is freezing?"
The man stared at Zuo Ling in horror. How dare she! How dare she poison him in front of so many people?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the poison isn't good. It still has the strength to glare at me, which means it's not lethal upon contact with blood. The toxicity is too weak."
Zuo Ling looked dissatisfied.
Feeling as if his whole body was frozen, cold, numb, and terrified, he couldn't breathe properly and opened his mouth, panting like a dead fish.
"Hmm, looks like you can hold on for half a minute. Don't you want to say a few last words to your nephew? If you don't, it will be too late."
"I'll fight you to the death."
The man's nephew, his eyes red, charged at Zuo Ling, only to be kicked away by Pei Nansheng.
Qian Yu and He Guiqi were dumbfounded. Sister Zuo had no mercy. In full view of everyone, there was no way to hide it. What were they going to do?
The other onlookers looked distressed, many feeling that Zuo Ling and her brother were too domineering, poisoning a living person over such a trivial matter.
Even if you have made great contributions to the base, you shouldn't treat human life so lightly.
Seeing his nephew unable to get up for a long time after being kicked, the man suddenly found some strength, shoved Ah Si aside, and pointed at Zuo Ling while cursing loudly:
"You vicious woman, that's right, I came to your house to steal things. You have so many supplies, what's wrong with sharing some with us? We struggle to even have a decent meal, yet you have so many compressed biscuits and snake venom. You heartless bastard, not only did you leave me to die, but you also poisoned me! Good heavens, everyone, look at this, is there no justice left?"
"So, you admit to stealing from my house?"
"So what if I admit it? I'm almost dead, what am I afraid of?"
The man gave up entirely.
"Okay, very good."
They grabbed the man and slapped him repeatedly, one after another, until his face was covered in blood and most of his teeth were loose.
Zuo Ling was still not satisfied and kicked him hard.
The sounds of thumping were so loud they made your teeth ache; the man felt as if his ribs had been broken.
Whether in the past or present, the people on the plantation have never seen Zuo Ling angry; many even find her to be smiling and very approachable.
I was secretly shocked to see her hit someone for the first time. I had misjudged her; she was a female demon.
Only He Guiqi was unsurprised, thinking to himself, "This is nothing compared to what happened back then..." He shook his head, "I can't think about it! I can't think about it!!"
With a kick, he sent the man and his nephew sprawling together.
Zuo Ling turned to Qian Yu:
"Company Commander Qian, you heard it all. He confessed to stealing from my house. A thief, someone who knew his uncle was involved in something but still lied through his teeth. If I see them at the base again, don't expect me to do anything for the plantation."
Qian Yu: "..."
He Guiqi and the others: "..."
What does that mean? The man wasn't poisoned by the snake?
Even if Zuo Ling was arrogant, she wasn't so arrogant as to kill someone in the base. She understood the principle of not going against the public's wrath.
The moment she stabbed the man, she changed the needle. The man felt a tingling sensation, as if a nerve block had been pressed.
The man stood there stunned for a long time, ignoring the blood still gushing from his mouth and nose. He rolled up his trouser leg and found no trace of poisoning on his leg. The cold, numb, and suffocating feeling had vanished without a trace.
He grinned, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
The young soldier was stunned. His uncle hadn't been poisoned by the snake.
Then he remembered what Zuo Ling had just said. She, she, she actually wanted to kick them out of the base!
Zuo Ling was a god-like figure on the plantation; his uncle might not realize the gravity of the situation, but he did.
His vision went black, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
The man thought to himself that he had only committed a petty theft, and it wasn't that serious, so he scoffed:
"Who do you think you are, trying to kick us out of the base? You're dreaming!"
Qian Yu and He Guiqi looked at him with pity... She really wasn't dreaming.
Compared to the mistake of killing, kicking two people out of the base was nothing in the eyes of the military bigwigs. No one would provoke Zuo Ling for someone insignificant.
Zuo Ling gave the man a cold glare. "Snowy Night, Ah Si, see the guest out."
The dog swaggered around, barking and yelping. "Go away! My owner doesn't welcome you!"
Ah Si howled, baring his gleaming teeth, "Run! If you don't, I'll bite you!"
Waterfall jumped into Zuo Ling's arms, waving its little paws. "How annoying! I should have chased them away a long time ago!"
