Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 372 College Entrance Exam(1)_1

How could anyone let her be so arrogant, time and time again?"Meihua old ghost? Haha, Grandpa, you’re not hallucinating from watching too much TV, are you? Or maybe there’s something wrong with your brain," Shangguan You said with a faint, defiant smile. "I won’t admit to anything. What can you do to me?"

"You brat, hand over the antidote!" Zhuge Ao felt his body slowly stiffening and couldn’t help but shout angrily.

"There isn’t any." Shangguan You stood up, speaking coldly. She glanced at the dark night outside, frowning. Damn it, why haven’t they arrived yet?

"Miss Shangguan, we don’t interfere with each other’s business. My junior brother didn’t do anything to you. Why would you make such a vicious move? Additionally, my master and the Elder still owe you a favor. They are actively searching for Li Wanying’s whereabouts. We’re also trying hard to find her. By doing this, are you trying to break the good relationship we’ve established?" Shen Po felt his own body stiffening bit by bit. Seeing Shangguan You’s indifferent demeanor, he spoke coldly.

He couldn’t neutralize her poison! Just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat.

"I haven’t done anything. It was you who captured me and attacked me first. I was merely defending myself," Shangguan You sneered, looking at the statue-like figures before her, her lips curving into a slight smirk.

"What on earth is going on, Miss Shangguan? Why have you poisoned us?" Shen Cheng asked, his voice laced with disbelief. A member of the Shangguan Family knowing how to use poison?

"I was only defending myself. Once Brother Luo Tong rescues me, you’ll naturally be fine," Shangguan You said with a faint smile, giving a meaningful look to both Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan.

"Ah, Miss Shangguan, we’re very grateful that you stood up for us today, but we haven’t offended you."

"Yes, please give us the antidote!"

Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan chimed in, playing their parts.

In the hall, those who were originally at a disadvantage once again gained the upper hand over Zhuge Ao, making him lose face yet again.

"An antidote, you say? There isn’t one. You’ll be fine in a while," Shangguan You said with a cold laugh, already standing before Uncle Yu.

"Girl, what do you think you’re doing?" Uncle Yu asked, a flash of panic in his eyes as he saw Shangguan You approach. He wanted to retreat, but his body was completely stiff and immobile.

"Not much. I just want to know what today was all about. Whose idea was this? What are you trying to achieve?" Shangguan You quickly formed hand seals, looking at Uncle Yu with a smile.

"I was merely following orders," Uncle Yu began. "The medicine produced by the You Family’s chain not only benefits ordinary people but also offers significant advantages to Cultivators. That’s why they set up today’s trap: to identify the person behind the You Family.

"The Jade Dew Pill is something they deeply covet. If they could find its formula, they could produce it themselves. Furthermore, the You Family’s business is booming, which has made numerous competitors jealous. So, this time, it wasn’t just people from the Zhuge Family involved, but also the Li Family, and the Liu Family..."

The more Shangguan You listened, the tighter her frown became. The Jade Dew Pill hasn’t been circulated in the market; I only gave it to people I trusted. How did they even know about the Jade Dew Pill?

And now, with Cultivators targeting the You Family’s pharmacy, this is likely just the beginning. With someone like Zhuge Yang involved, countless Cultivation Families will soon become envious and get dragged into this. Moreover, Cultivation Families often have varying degrees of connection with the government.

The Jade Dew Pill has once again dragged me into this storm. Not only do I have to deal with Cultivators, but I also have to combat the underhanded tactics of business rivals.

The more Shangguan You thought, the deeper her frown became. She spoke sharply, "The Jade Dew Pill—where did you learn about it?"

"Uncle Yu, do you realize what you’re saying?" Shen Po shouted angrily, cutting Uncle Yu off. His words caught in his throat, and he could say no more.

Shangguan You shot Shen Po a cold glance, her gaze then fully settling on him.

"You brat! So you want to be arrogant? I’ll show you just how formidable I am!" Zhuge Ao roared, realizing he could move his body again. Simultaneously, the wail of police sirens sounded from outside. The door was kicked open, and police officers burst in with guns drawn, aiming steadily at everyone. Leading the way were the Luo brothers, Luo Wu and Luo Tong.

Zhuge Ao tightly grasped Shangguan You. He could move, but he had no strength. Shangguan You cooperated with Zhuge Ao’s actions, readily playing the part of a hostage. Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan were also seized by Huoyi and a few others, while Shen Po grabbed hold of Shen Cheng.

Shangguan You, Zhong Mingyang, Li Lan, and Shen Cheng became hostages, while the others were treated as terrorists.

"Girl, are you alright?" Luo Tong asked with concern upon seeing Shangguan You taken hostage. He was puzzled when he saw Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan among them. How could these two be here?

Although he had only been in B City for a short time, he was somewhat familiar with the local Mafia Gang. He never expected to see them here, especially under these circumstances—members of the Mafia Gang actually being taken hostage themselves!

"Brother Luo Tong, I’m fine," Shangguan You said, her voice trembling slightly as if she were scared.

"Drop your weapons, or nobody leaves today!" Luo Wu commanded coldly. His group included soldiers as well as police officers. He had received a call from Shangguan You and rushed to the police station, but found no information about her there. After making several inquiries, he learned she had been taken hostage and brought here.

Ji Fan, Commissioner Duan, and Captain Liu were also present, constantly wiping sweat from their faces. They had only accepted a small favor, never expecting such a major incident. With the security department directly involved, things were looking grim for them.

"Brother Luo Tong, Brother Luo Wu, save me quickly!" Shangguan You cried out, looking at the men nervously wiping away sweat. Thank goodness Elder Brother Qing and the others didn’t come. If they knew, any chance I have of sneaking out in the future would be gone.
