Lu Baichuan didn't know what this woman was thinking. Hadn't she already made herself perfectly clear?
"I just said, there is no antidote."
Yu Fen gritted her teeth and asked unwillingly, "Then what's the point of me saying this now?"
Since I'll suffer whether I say it or not, I might as well be loyal to my master and at least get a good reputation.
"Of course there is. After all, if you tell us now, we won't increase the dosage. But if you don't tell us, we'll keep increasing it. And this thing won't kill you, it'll just make you suffer."
Lu Baichuan patiently explained, and the jailers thought that their boss had a really good temper. Even at a time like this, he still had to explain so much to the prisoner. No wonder he could achieve great things and become a high-ranking official.
However, Lu Baichuan had no idea what the jailer was thinking. If he had known, he would definitely have said: No, I just didn't want to waste my wife's medicine.
Yu Fen was in pain and itching, and was still suffering greatly. She felt that she could not bear the current dosage, let alone how uncomfortable it would be if the dosage were increased.
But she was also somewhat skeptical of the truthfulness of Lu Baichuan's words. Did this medicine really not contain any powder?
Or, even if the dosage is increased, will the pain level still change?
Or was Lu Baichuan just trying to scare her?
If that's the case, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?
While she was still hesitating, Qin Jian came over there.
"Oh, so you're resorting to torture already? You're really ruthless, you don't even know how to be gentle with a woman."
Qin Jian was originally smelling the pickled vegetables when he heard the screams and rushed over to see what was happening. He didn't expect that they had already started to torture them. The screams sounded very painful.
He's the kind of person who loves to join in the fun. How could he not come and see such a big event?
He always knew that Yu Fen was after Lu Baichuan, and he felt that this was a huge disservice to his younger brother and sister-in-law. Moreover, he had received so many benefits from his younger brother and sister-in-law, and he could not stand by and watch Yu Fen and Lu Baichuan being all lovey-dovey in this prison cell. So he often said such things to disgust Lu Baichuan.
Hmph, who told him to attract all these unwanted romantic advances!
Lu Baichuan knew he was deliberately saying it to annoy him, so he didn't mind. He just continued to say to Yu Fen with a blank expression, "Well, have you thought it over?"
While Qin Jian was walking in, Yu Fen's mind was racing. She still wanted to try one more time, hoping there might still be a glimmer of hope.
"Third Master, I couldn't hold back any longer, but actually, I really don't know what to confess!"
Her teary eyes would surely make anyone who didn't know the situation feel sorry for her. If someone were particularly chivalrous, they might even hug her and comfort her.
Qin Jian looked at Lu Baichuan with a smile and teased, "You're still so charming even with this mask on. I really underestimated you before."
Lu Baichuan ignored Qin Jian and simply gestured with his chin towards the jailer.
The jailer still had some medicine powder, and after receiving Lu Baichuan's instructions, he prepared to sprinkle the medicine powder on Yu Fen's body again.
Yu Fen's eyes widened in disbelief that Lu Baichuan could be such a heartless person. Not only was she pleading for her, but Qin Jian was also speaking up for her. Even if Lu Baichuan didn't listen to her, he should at least listen to Qin Jian's advice!
Yes, she considered Qin Jian as one of her own.
In just two days, she forgot that the person who had initially arrested her was Qin Jian.
"Wait!"
Yu Fen screamed, unable to maintain her pitiful appearance any longer, and roared fiercely at Lu Baichuan, "Are you really going to be so heartless and ungrateful?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Before Lu Baichuan could answer, Qin Jian clicked his tongue and said, "The way you're talking makes it sound like you've wronged someone's feelings! You'd better take responsibility!"
Lu Baichuan found him rather noisy, glanced at him impatiently, and said to the jailer, "Continue."
This time, the jailer showed no mercy and, ignoring Yu Fen's struggles, sprinkled some more powder on her.
This time the pain was much more intense; such a small packet of powder made Yu Fen wish she could die on the spot.
The painful screams came again, and Qin Jian found it all quite astonishing.
He had been curious about what kind of torture Lu Baichuan had used to make someone scream like that, but he never expected it was just a little bit of powder.
Needless to say, it was given to me by my younger brother and sister-in-law.
Sigh, my sister-in-law is so good, she's so amazing, she can do everything. Lu Baichuan is so lucky!
I wonder when he will meet a girl who is right for him, and whether she will also be a female doctor.
He looked at Lu Baichuan with envy in his eyes.
Seeing Yu Fen's reaction, Lu Baichuan said again, "Add more."
Originally, he was willing to give her time to consider in order to save some medicine powder, so that she would suffer less and he could save the medicine powder. This was naturally a win-win situation, but there are always people who are so ungrateful, so he can't be blamed.
This time, Yu Fen dared not be stubborn anymore. Before she could even confess, she shouted out the truth.
"Fifth Master Liu! Fifth Master Liu sent me! Give me the antidote! Kill me! I don't want to live anymore!"
Fifth Master Liu.
Finally, I heard some useful information from her.
I had heard of this Master Liu when my wife went to buy servants before. He had been sending people to keep an eye on him in secret, but there had been no movement from him recently. It turned out that he wanted to extend his reach to him. He was really dreaming.
"What does Fifth Master Liu do?"
"I don't know! I don't know!"
Yu Fen struggled in agony, accompanied by heart-wrenching cries of despair. She felt that death would be more pleasant than her current state.
"If you don't tell the truth, we'll add more medicine powder."
As Lu Baichuan spoke, he gestured to the jailer, who readily agreed to sprinkle the powder.
"They run a casino!"
Yu Fen hurriedly spoke, and the jailer stopped what he was doing, looking at Lu Baichuan and waiting for his next instructions.
“I already know that. Tell me about something else.”
Yu Fen fell silent, but this time Lu Baichuan didn't push her too hard and gave her time to consider.
Now that she has experienced the pain of increased dosage, she can decide for herself which is more important.
Qin Jian took the powder from the jailer with some curiosity and examined it, muttering, "What exactly is this? How can it be so effective?"
"Give it a try?"
"I must be crazy!"
Qin Jian hurriedly threw the packet of medicine powder to the jailer, and even took two steps back to show his refusal.
Yu Fen asked, "What will happen if I tell?"
"Since you've behaved well, I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Upon hearing this, Yu Fen closed her eyes in despair. If one could live a good life, no one would want to die.
But she has no way out now. Even if Lu Baichuan doesn't kill her, Master Liu will definitely not let her off easily.
I'd rather be dead than live like this!
She closed her eyes and then opened them again, saying, "He was just doing someone else's job, grabbing young girls to take their blood and sending it to his master..."
What Yu Fen said was similar to what they had found out before, except that Master Liu had been more restrained recently and hadn't done these things.
"Anything else?"
I'm so tired lately, running to the hospital every day. My mom's surgery hasn't happened yet, and she's been going through all sorts of tests. I get home really late every day, and I'm completely exhausted, both physically and mentally...
