Chapter 183: Suicide by biting poison
The soldiers immediately escorted the man in black and followed Yu Gongyu into the tent. Inside the tent, the atmosphere was oppressive and tense, as if the condensed air was carrying a heavy pressure.
Yu Gongyu sat in the main seat, his eyes like cold blades scanning the black-clothed man in front of him. His expression was serious and majestic, making people intimidated and dare not look directly at him.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Yu Gongyu's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the tent like a heavy hammer with unquestionable majesty.
The men in black bit their lips tightly and said nothing, their eyes revealing stubbornness and fear. Their hearts were full of contradictions and struggles, hesitating between loyalty and survival, not knowing whether they should tell the truth.
Yu Gongyu frowned slightly and asked again: "If you tell the truth, you may still have a chance of survival. If you insist on resisting, you should know the consequences."
There was a hint of threat in his eyes that made people shudder.
The men in black remained silent, but their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily. Fear spread in their hearts, but they still did not dare to betray their master.
Yu Gongyu sneered, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Lin Nan, teach them a lesson."
His eyes were filled with anger and determination, and he was determined to make these men in black tell the truth.
Lin Nan took a step forward, and the long sword in his hand moved slightly, and a cold light flashed instantly. The man in black looked at Lin Nan in horror, and finally a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.
"I'll give you one last chance. Will you tell me or not?" Yu Gongyu's voice became colder and colder, as if it could freeze people.
One of the men in black finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and started to speak tremblingly.
The leading man in black shouted loudly: "If you still want your family members to live, don't say anything." The voice echoed in the tent, with determination and ruthlessness.
As soon as he finished speaking, his neck tilted and he fell down like a felled tree.
Lin Bei's expression was startled, and he quickly stepped forward to check. He saw a trace of black blood flowing from the corner of the mouth of the leading man in black, which looked particularly shocking under the dim light.
Then, as if receiving some silent command, one by one the men in black crushed the poison hidden in their mouths.
Their actions were resolute and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. In a blink of an eye, the black-clad men who had committed suicide were lying in all directions in the tent.
The entire tent instantly fell into a dead silence, as if even the air had frozen. Lin Nan and Lin Bei looked at each other and walked forward in tacit understanding.
They looked solemn, slowly squatted down, stretched out their hands and gently pulled off the black-clad men's face coverings. Under the face coverings were unfamiliar faces, some were young and tender, with the immaturity still on their faces; some were vicissitudes and determination, with the years leaving deep marks on their faces.
But at this moment, they were all lying there lifeless. Lin Nan frowned slightly, feeling helpless.
Lin Bei continued to search the men in black carefully, not missing any place where clues might be hidden, from the corners of their clothes to their cuffs, from their waists to their boots.
Every movement was cautious, as if they were looking for the key to solve the mystery. At this moment, Lin Bei discovered that there was a skull tattooed between the shoulder blades of these men in black.
The skull pattern looked particularly eerie under the dim light, as if telling an unknown dark story.
Lin Bei quickly called Lin Nan to come and take a look. After seeing the pattern, Lin Nan's expression became more serious.
After a search, no valuable clues were found except this strange skull pattern.
Lin Bei stood up, shook his head, and sighed, "Except for this strange pattern, we got nothing. These people were very well prepared. It seems that the people behind them are very cautious."
Yu Gongyu looked at the scene in front of him, especially the skull patterns, his eyes became more profound. He knew that there must be a huge secret hidden behind this conspiracy, and to uncover this secret, the road ahead would be full of difficulties and obstacles.
In Huaxi Garden late at night, Shen Yiran tossed and turned, unable to sleep, feeling restless as if her heart was being eaten by millions of ants.
The figures of Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu kept appearing in her mind, and she was worried. She knew that the prince was ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals. Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu might be assassinated by the prince at any time.
When she thought of this, Shen Yiran's heart tightened. She opened her eyes wide in the dark, her eyes full of worry.
Ren Jingzhi's handsome face and gentle smile kept appearing before her eyes, and her longing for him was like a wildly growing vine that instantly filled her entire heart.
How she wished that Ren Jingzhi could be by her side at this moment, giving her a warm hug so that she would no longer be so scared and worried.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shen Yiran's mind like a meteor. She wanted to pursue Ren Jingzhi, fight side by side with him, and face the unknown dangers and challenges together.
However, reason told her that no matter how strong her desire was, she couldn't act rashly. She had to wait for Qin Rufeng to finish the matter. Otherwise, if this matter was known by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.
Shen Yiran is well aware of the stakes involved. She must act with caution and not be careless or negligent. If she makes a mistake, she could end up in an irreparable situation.
The night outside the window was as thick as ink, as if reflecting Shen Yiran's heavy mood at the moment. Shen Yiran tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The worries in her heart were like layers of dark clouds covering her. She sighed softly and simply flashed into the space.
In the space, soft light flickered slightly, and everything seemed quiet and mysterious. When her eyes accidentally swept across the shelves where medicines were stored, she was surprised to find that they were full of cartons.
Her eyes widened, her face full of astonishment and confusion. Where did these cartons come from? Why did they suddenly appear here?
Shen Yiran slowly approached the shelf, with a strong sense of curiosity in her heart. She gently reached out her hand and opened one of the cartons.
The moment the carton was opened, a faint candy smell hit my nose. Inside were six large bottles, which sparkled with a strange luster under the light.
Shen Yiran took out a bottle with doubts in her heart. When her eyes fell on the bottle, she saw the words "New Crown Sugar Pills" written on it. She was shocked again and couldn't speak. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't understand the incredible scene in front of her.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted to the memory of the COVID-19, the virus that once wreaked havoc like a demon in 21. The COVID-19 was so terrible that it spread silently, infecting people without any warning.
It can make a healthy person become extremely weak in a short period of time. Symptoms such as high fever, cough, and fatigue are like heavy shackles that tightly bind the patient's body.
In the 21st century, the coronavirus has brought extremely serious consequences. Cities seem to have been paused, streets are empty, shops are closed, and the economy is stagnant.
