Chapter 677 Even if it's a pit of fire, you have to jump in.
It has to be said that Wen Luoyun's words really struck a chord with Kong Wange.
Murong Ting's poison was too potent. Her talk of developing an antidote was more of a psychological comfort; she only hoped that she wouldn't be powerless in the face of his current state.
But in reality, she also understood that developing an antidote was not something that could be done overnight, while Murong Ting's poison could not be delayed.
She pondered silently, then took a deep breath and asked, "Ruoyun, can you get the map you mentioned?"
Seeing that Kong Wange had taken the bait, Wen Luoyun curled her lips into a smile.
"This..." she pretended to be hesitant.
"It's okay if it's inconvenient for you, I'll figure something out myself." Kong Wange knew that Tang Zhi would definitely guard such an important item very closely, and it would be quite dangerous to have someone steal it. She regretted saying it as soon as she spoke.
Unexpectedly, Wen Luoyun, upon hearing her words, said with great bravado, "Wange, what are you saying? What's inconvenient between us sisters? I'm willing to brave even the most dangerous places. I'll give it a try. Wait for my news."
Kong Wange paused, then asked, "Ruoyun, are you really sure you can handle this? What if Tang Zhi finds out...?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if we're discovered, does he dare to kill me? Wan Ge, you know I've wanted to leave him for a long time. Why don't we take this opportunity to break ties with him and start working for you from now on!"
Wen Luoyun's do-or-die attitude left Kong Wange speechless. She glanced at Qin Feng not far away, who nodded at her.
She then replied gratefully, "Alright, I'll also send people to wait outside the Tang family's house to meet you. If you really encounter danger, just call me. Once you hear the vibration, we'll rush in to protect you."
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful."
After Kong Wange responded, she hung up the phone.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Zhou Qiao and suddenly asked, "Qiaoqiao, did you just tell Ruoyun that A-Ting was poisoned?"
Zhou Qiao was taken aback for a moment: "No."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wange frowned and pondered.
Qin Feng noticed something amiss and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Instead of answering directly, Kong Wange asked in return, "You all heard what Ruoyun said after that. What do you think?"
Zhou Qiao was still a little confused: "Sister Wange, what Sister Ruoyun said is too mysterious, isn't it? Jade pendants, maps, tombs, and ancient secret medicines? This is really a bit unbelievable."
Kong Wange thought of something and looked at Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, would it be convenient for you to bring over the jade pendant you put away today so I can take a look?"
Qin Feng had the same thought as her.
If what Xu Ruoyun said is true, then it is obvious that Tang Zhi has already collected all five jade pendants.
But just this morning, they had confirmed that the Qin family's jade pendant was still on Zhou Qiao.
If Tang Zhizhen has indeed obtained the Xuanwu Jade, then there is only one explanation—the jade pendant they saw today is not real.
Qin Feng nodded slightly, then turned to instruct his subordinates. A moment later, one of them carefully brought over a box.
Qin Feng opened the box, and the "Black Tortoise Jade" lay quietly inside.
Even Zhou Qiao, who was slow to react, realized what was happening and exclaimed, "No way! The jade pendant that Sister Ruoyun mentioned, the one Tang Zhi had at the market, is this it?!"
Qin Feng sighed and patted her head: "Now you know why I made you take it off."
Zhou Qiao understood, but was even more confused: "But the jade pendant is clearly here. How come Sister Ruoyun said that Tang Zhi has already collected all five jade pendants?"
Kong Wange looked at Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, can you make a judgment?"
Qin Feng picked up the jade pendant, placed it under the lamp beside him, and examined it carefully.
After a long pause, he frowned, placed the jade pendant on the table, and said in a deep voice, "This one is indeed fake."
Zhou Qiao was stunned: "Fake? Didn't you say this was your family heirloom jade pendant? How could it be fake?!"
Kong Wange rubbed her temples and said, "The jade pendant you've been wearing might not be fake. It's very likely that it was switched along the way. Didn't Master Qin say that Qianliu stayed in the sect for a while before? Is it possible that the jade pendant was switched at that time?"
Qin Feng pursed his lips: "Probably not. If Qian Liu had obtained the jade pendant back then, the Tang family wouldn't have helped Qin Yiyi attack the Qin family later..."
"Forget it, now that Tang Zhi has already collected all the jade pendants, it's not the time to pursue this matter. The most important thing is to deal with Tang Zhi."
Kong Wange said in a deep voice, "If what Ruoyun said is true, there is a secret medicine in that secret passage that can bring the dead back to life, then I will fight for it no matter what."
Qin Feng frowned: "Is this Xu Ruoyun trustworthy?"
Kong Wange said calmly, "Whether it's believable or not, even if there's only a one in a billion chance, I don't want to give up. But I'm not a puppet to be manipulated. Although I don't want to think too badly of people, I can't be too careful."
Zhou Qiao, who was standing next to her, became more and more confused: "Sister Kong, do you mean that Sister Ruoyun lied? Didn't she reveal this information to help you?"
"I hope I'm overthinking it, but some things are just too coincidental, so I can't help but overthink it. Qiaoqiao, I remember you said that Ruoyun suddenly came to see you during the day today?" Kong Wange asked, staring at Zhou Qiao.
Hearing her question, Zhou Qiao finally understood: "Sister Kong, are you saying that Sister Ruoyun switched my jade pendant? It's not impossible. I haven't been in contact with anyone, except for her, who saw my jade pendant today. So, she and Tang Zhi are on the same side, and deliberately told us this information?"
"Is what she's talking about a trap? Could it be dangerous?"
Kong Wange exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at Murong Ting who was pale and unconscious on the bed, and said, "We'll know whether she's good or bad in time. In any case, I have no choice but to jump into this pit."
Given Murong Ting's current situation, even if she knows it's a pit of fire, she has no choice but to jump in.
Qin Feng nodded and asked, "What about the An family?"
Kong Wange thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep it from the An family for now. A-Ting's aunts are getting old and can't take any more trouble. I'll go and find out the truth of this matter myself first."
Qin Feng nodded: "That's true. The An family is very successful in business, but they are not good at dealing with this kind of situation. Since you have decided to go, my Shadow Gate can lend you a hand to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Kong Wange was slightly taken aback, then cupped her hands and said, "Master Qin, I don't want to be hypocritical and polite with you at this time. I really can't think of anyone else who can help me. If A-Ting can really be saved, my husband and I will definitely do our best to repay you in the future."
"Sister Kong, you're too kind. You don't know it yourself, but you're actually Qin Feng's great benefactor. Besides, we're best friends. It's only right that he helps you," Zhou Qiao comforted her.
