Imperial Treasure

Chapter 693 - 437: The Woman in the Basement_2

The needle was poisoned.

The needle, longer than a middle finger, flashed coldly before she put it away, twisted open the water bottle’s cap, and drank a few sips.

I’m dying of thirst!

She put the bottle on the table, took the keys hanging from the other person’s waist, locked the door, looked left—the cold, icy room was still locked—looked right... Su Zimu’s jailer had seen her and was about to blow his whistle...

Phut!

The long needle pierced his forehead.

Before the man could fall, she caught him, gently placed the body against the wall, and confirmed there were very few guards around, most of them inside the cells and not paying attention to the outside noise..

Ming Lanyuan stood outside Su Zimu’s cell, about to open the door, when suddenly he heard a voice inside.

"The boss has already left... I suppose the girl didn’t dare lie; she must have told the correct location... so we.."

"Don’t talk nonsense, not until it’s confirmed.."

"Come on... it’s only been about fifteen minutes; the boss left a while ago... Let’s enjoy now and we can catch up with the evacuation later; otherwise, if that side confirms, we can only just manage to kill these two beauties.."

These two were indeed somewhat tempted..

Then Ming Lanyuan heard the sound of them unbuckling their belts..

Inside the cell, Pu Qinghan and Su Zimu moved back, against the wall, while Li Cuiyu on the ground was already breathless..

"I think your boss must have told you... not to mess with me... Same principle, if you two misbehave with us, I can guarantee it will end badly... I suppose the discipline in your organization is very strict..."

Su Zimu clearly uttered these words..

Sure enough, the two hesitated and stopped unbuckling their belts, one of them flashed a look, "You are off-limits, but this one, since she is going to die anyway..."

They looked towards Pu Qinghan.

She, with a cold face, bit her lower lip, "Aren’t you worried I gave you fake coordinates?"

The two men just laughed. "Lady, you seriously underestimate our boss. If he wasn’t sure about your information, why would he take everyone else... Just sending one or two to verify would suffice, so..."

He reached out to grab Pu Qinghan..

Suddenly, bang!

The iron door behind them opened.

Ming Lanyuan, pressing the door against the wall, said, "Need help, gentlemen?"

Then her fingers, holding needles, quickly jabbed at their temples twice..

After the men fell, Ming Lanyuan looked towards the two women and smiled slightly, "Being too beautiful is also a burden; I hope it doesn’t bring you any trauma.."

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Pu Qinghan’s look... Is she flirting with me?

Pu Qinghan even said, "I can’t guarantee my own safety, but this one next to me definitely hasn’t"

Hmm?

Ming Lanyuan just raised an eyebrow...

Su Zimu had already stood up, a small pistol falling from his sleeve, aiming at Ming Lanyuan’s forehead..

Bang!

The wall had a hole shot through it..

Ming Lanyuan’s needle darted towards her throat..

The other stepped back, jumped off the wall in a backflip, then fired another shot!

Swoosh!

Ming Lanyuan dodged, but saw Li Cuiyu next to her rise abruptly like a feigned dead beast, bloodied face fierce, pulling out a knife from his waist..

Taking on two at once?

Pu Qinghan didn’t have time to worry about others...

Two hands, a needle in the left, a wipe on the waist with the right, the hidden catch released an oval metal attachment, one side ejecting a handle, the other side a line...

A line?

Rather, it was a metal silver needle.

It was a slender Western Sword!

The material of the blade was strange, initially like a soft thread, but as soon as it hit the air, it became as hard as iron, no different from a fine Western Sword.

Then..

The silver needle pierced Li Cuiyu’s forehead, and the Western Sword... pierced through "Su Zimu’s" throat.

After pulling out the needle and Western Sword, snap, the two bodies hit the floor.

Ming Lanyuan directly tore off "Su Zimu’s" Human Skin Mask.

"Jeez, so ugly, can’t compare to the Su family girls.."

Having said that, she turned to smile at Pu Qinghan, "You’re smarter than I thought, how did you know this person was an imposter?"

While cutting Pu Qinghan’s ropes with the Western Sword, she asked.

"Previously, Sui Yi discussed with us, if we were captured, we two were bound to be interrogated for information, the other side’s usual tricks being either torture or questioning through a traitor... Sui Yi said they often disguised themselves as one of our own... So we four decided if we were captured together, to simply touch each other once, and then the other would touch you back..."
