Seeing that she hadn't intimidated them, Chen Qingqing angrily cursed, "Arrogance brings rain, and arrogance brings disaster. You despicable people will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
"Retribution? If there were retribution, someone like you would have died long ago!" Chen Ruolan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered so much. To avenge the hatred in my heart, you must die today!"
Knowing that she was doomed today, Chen Qingqing quickly put the token into her spatial storage. Then, with a thought, a packet of sleeping potion spray appeared in her hand.
Her expression was calm, showing no fear whatsoever, and she retorted without hesitation.
"Chen Ruolan, you have quite the nerve. Aren't you afraid that you'll get too cocky and suffer the consequences? Let me give you a piece of advice: being too arrogant and looking down on others will only bring trouble upon yourself sooner or later."
"Don't worry, sister. With Lord Qin protecting me, I'm destined to live a life of luxury and wealth. You don't need to worry about me."
After Chen Ruolan finished speaking, a sinister smile curled at the corners of her lips.
"When you die, your sugar mill, clinic, restaurant, and all your assets will be mine."
But don't worry, I won't make things difficult for your family.
As long as they behave themselves, I will restore their former lives of poverty and hunger. You can rest assured and continue your journey!
Qin Shousheng couldn't wait any longer. He waved to his followers behind him and said, "Be quick and try not to let anyone notice your external injuries."
"Yes, sir." Several attendants acknowledged the order, chuckled sinisterly, rubbed their hands together, and clenched their fists so tightly they cracked as they surrounded Chen Qingqing.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing's lips curled up slightly. Before these people could react, she suddenly raised the sedative spray in her hand and sprayed it wildly at them.
The attendants, unaware of what had happened, suddenly felt a darkness engulf them and a wave of dizziness wash over them.
Immediately afterwards, their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, motionless.
This scene happened so suddenly that Qin Shousheng and Chen Ruolan were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
After a long while, Chen Ruolan finally came to her senses and shouted, "You, you vile woman, what kind of sorcery did you use?"
Qin Shousheng also realized what was happening and turned pale with fright, but he still mustered his courage and shouted, "You witch, how dare you resist? Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions are? If you know what's good for you, behave yourself. If you dare to act recklessly again, I'll make sure you die without a burial place."
Chen Qingqing sneered disdainfully, "Since you've come to provoke me, I'm going to rid the people of this scourge and kill you, you corrupt official!"
"No, no, no, Miss Chen, let's talk this out. Please don't kill me."
Qin Shousheng was a spineless coward; he didn't want to die. Seeing Chen Qingqing walking towards him, in order to save his life, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Miss Chen, spare my life! You can leave now. Take your family with you, and I promise I will never cause you any more trouble."
Chen Ruolan was completely terrified by Chen Qingqing, and retreated repeatedly in fear.
"Sister Qingqing, Ruolan knows she was wrong. Please don't hold it against me. As long as you don't kill me, I will never dare to oppose you again."
Chen Qingqing didn't want to waste any more words with them. With a gentle gesture, a fine mist drifted towards their faces.
Qin Shousheng and Chen Ruolan also collapsed to the ground like dead dogs.
All of this happened so fast that Shen Yuanze, standing outside the cell, was stunned. When he came to his senses, he realized the gravity of the situation.
He was so frightened that his legs trembled. He turned around and wanted to run away, but he was too scared to take a step and could only walk by holding onto the wall.
How could Chen Qingqing let him go? She stepped forward and pulled him back.
Shen Yuanze looked terrified and shook his head frantically.
"Miss Chen, spare my life! This really has nothing to do with me. It was these two scoundrels who wanted to harm you and seize your property. Please don't kill me!"
Chen Qingqing didn't want to hear his explanation, and with a flick of her hand, Shen Yuanze stopped moving.
She didn't dare to delay any longer. She found the cell key, opened the cell door where Chen Zhanshan was being held, and said, "Father, Xiao Wu, come out quickly."
Chen Zhanshan turned pale with fright. "Daughter, are they all dead?"
"Father, don't ask anymore. These people all deserved what they got." Chen Qingqing said, and then released Lin Shi and Wu Cuihua.
Lin was so frightened that her face turned pale, and even her voice trembled slightly, "Qing'er, where do we run to?"
"Mother, don't be afraid, I will bring you out of Anyang City safely," Chen Qingqing comforted her with a smile.
Wu Cuihua also hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, with Qingya here, we'll all be fine."
Chen Qingqing knew the jailers outside wouldn't come in anytime soon, and glanced disdainfully at Qin Shousheng and Chen Ruolan lying on the ground.
She knew that the drug she had just given them would only make them temporarily unconscious.
In order to eradicate the threat completely and rid the people of this scourge, we must also give them some poison.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a packet of heart-breaking powder in his hand.
Those poisoned by this substance will die within an hour if they do not receive timely treatment, as their intestines will perforate and their stomachs will rot.
Seeing that Chen Qingqing still had no intention of leaving, Chen Zhanshan urged her, "Qingqing, we can't stay here any longer, let's hurry up and leave!"
"Father, wait a moment, I'll see them off one last time." Chen Qingqing stuffed the last pill of poison into Chen Ruolan's mouth, and was about to turn and leave.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the cell.
Chen Qingqing's heart tightened; it was too late to run. He quickly drew his crossbow, preparing for the crisis, and at the same time addressed the people behind him.
"You guys hurry up and go through the back wall, I'll be there soon."
The others were also on tenterhooks.
"Qingya, you quickly take your mother and the others and leave. I'll hold these people off." Chen Zhanshan knew the situation was urgent; to survive, someone had to hold off the prison guards.
Xiao Wu was terrified, but he knew that all of this was because of him. Now that things were at a critical point, he could no longer afford to live a life of ignominy.
"Shopkeeper, you should take your family and leave quickly. I'll hold these people off."
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing stamped her feet anxiously, "Can you please stop making things worse? Hurry up and move the bricks off the back wall, or it will be too late."
Xiao Wu was prepared to die. Before anyone could react, he ran to the nearby torture chamber, grabbed a chair, and rushed towards the cell, shouting to Chen Qingqing as he did so.
"Shopkeeper, it's all my fault. You should take your family and leave immediately. I'll fight them to the death."
"Xiao Wu, come back here right now!" Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious. This was just making things worse; it was practically suicide!
Just as she was about to tell her family to quickly escape from the prison through the hole in the wall, dozens of men in black, wielding sharp blades, rushed in.
Lin and Wu Cuihua turned pale with fright, while Chen Zhanshan quickly stepped forward to block Chen Qingqing and sternly rebuked her.
"If you have a problem, come at me. I'm the one trying to escape from prison, don't hurt my family!"
