Love Lock

Chapter 78 Dying from Exhaustion of Blood
"What, what is that?" Wei Chengchao asked, trembling.

"Stop talking nonsense and make them drink it right now."

As Han Lei's soft, gentle scolding voice rang out, she lightly made a cut on Wei Chengchao's neck, from which bright red blood seeped out.

Seeing that Han Lei was serious, Wei Chengchao, who was usually arrogant and domineering, immediately became even more timid and screamed in fright.

"No, no, no, I'll shout, I'll shout."

Han Lei then stopped what she was doing. After catching his breath, Wei Chengchao looked at the two servants.

"What are you all standing there for? Drink up!"

Upon hearing this, the two servants were stunned, their legs going weak. "Young master, we, this..." What had they done to deserve this?

"I told you to drink quickly!" Wei Chengchao shouted anxiously.

"Young master, young master!" The two servants knelt down with a thud, almost crying.

"You two bastards, believe me or not, I'll kill you when we get back. Drink up!" Wei Chengchao roared through gritted teeth.

These bastards always say they'd go to great lengths for him, even risking their lives, but now, at this crucial moment, they're acting like cowards.

Han Lei's hands were so cold they were almost numb. She needed to hurry up and change into some dry clothes; she didn't have time to watch them dawdle here.

“If you don’t drink by the time I count to three, I will kill your master right now.”

Han Lei used her softest, sweetest voice to say the harshest things.

The two servants exchanged a glance, their faces showing despair.

The two trembled as they picked up the small medicine bottle from the ground, opened the cap, and resolutely closed their eyes, tilting their heads back to swallow it all.

In less than a minute, the two servants collapsed to the ground.

"what?"

Seeing his servant fall to the ground, Wei Chengchao was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

Most of these pampered rich kids are cowards; they're the type who jump at the slightest provocation and wet themselves at the slightest fright.

Taking advantage of Wei Chengchao's momentary shock, Han Lei immediately reversed the dagger and struck him hard on the temple with the hilt. He didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground.

Han Lei took out a packet of Huanglian Shangqing Pills and a small blue pill of unknown name from her spatial storage, opened them, and fed them both to Wei Chengchao.

Then, Han Lei fed each of the two guards a small blue pill.

Then, she took out a set of clothes, jumped onto the bed, and quickly changed her clothes after putting down the mosquito net.

When Han Lei finished getting ready and came out, that coward Wei Chengchao was still asleep.

Even with her good temper, Han Lei decided to retaliate this time.

She opened the door and asked the waiter to bring her a basin of cold water. After taking the water at the door, she went inside and kicked the door shut.

Han Lei pouted and walked up to Wei Chengchao, then poured a bucket of cold water on him without saying a word.

"You bastard, I'll let you taste what it's like to have cold water poured on you."

"Wow!"

A bucket of cold water was poured over him, and Wei Chengchao woke up with a start.

Wei Chengchao was about to curse when he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He frowned and spat twice, but nothing came out. His expression changed drastically.

"You, what did you feed me?"

Han Lei curled her lips into a cold smile, "Don't you guys like using poison? I've also learned how to make a few kinds of poisons. How do they taste?"

"Poison? I didn't give you any poison!" Wei Chengchao felt utterly wronged. When had he ever used poison?
"Hmph! But you drugged me. This is called giving them a taste of their own medicine. Drugs are poison too."

Han Lei tossed the wooden basin aside, crossed her arms, and leisurely watched Wei Chengchao, who was soaked to the bone. "That, that was all Princess Chang Le's doing, not me! Quick, give me the antidote."

Wei Chengchao looked at Han Lei with a face full of fear, his heart sinking.

Chang Le happily went to find a man, but he ended up losing more than he gained.

He never expected that this little bitch in front of him, who looked so delicate and pretty, would be so ruthless. He'd really been brought down by this bitch today.

Han Lei calmly squatted down and, mimicking Wei Chengchao's earlier actions, lifted his chin with her fingers, gazing at him with a deep, enigmatic look.

"Do you know what kind of poison this is? This poison can only be treated with an antidote over a long period of time. On the first day, it will only cause diarrhea. If the antidote is not taken continuously, it will start to cause bloody diarrhea on the second day and will continue until it bleeds to death."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chengchao collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Han Lei's delicate and beautiful face, he saw her more and more like a hideous demon.

"However, you can choose not to die." Han Lei gave another cold laugh. "I will give you an antidote every day to keep you alive. But then... you will have to stay by my side. Otherwise, once the antidote runs out, you will surely die."

While changing her clothes, Han Lei pondered deeply. If she let Wei Chengchao go back, he would definitely find a way to retaliate against her.

The ancients were also fond of using poison at the slightest disagreement. Rather than letting him use underhanded tricks behind their backs, it was better to keep him by your side and monitor him at all times.

Moreover, he is the son of Prime Minister Wei, and his noble status might be of great help to him someday.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chengchao immediately lost his airs of a wealthy young master and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Han Lei.

"Grandma, please! Let me go! I'll never do it again."

"No way." Han Lei's attitude was firm, and she threatened him, "You've done so many evil deeds and bullied others by relying on your power. Who told you to mess with me? I'm learning poison techniques, and I'll use you to test the poison."

After saying that, Han Lei grabbed his ear and dragged him in front of the two guards.

Then, they picked up the rope from the ground, tied the three of them together back to back, and stuffed their socks into Wei Chengchao's mouth to prevent him from shouting for help.

After doing all this, Han Lei ignored them. Instead, she took out some food from her spatial storage, ate it, and then lay down on the bed to rest, fully clothed.

……

Songyang Town is a small town located at the border of Jingzhou and the capital region, and it is now under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.

Han Lei is currently staying in Songyang Town, Jingzhou.

The next day, because she had gone to bed early the night before, Han Lei got up as soon as it was light.

She tidied herself up hastily, planning to have breakfast and then take Wei Chengchao to Cangzhou to catch up with Zhao Zun's group.

Zhao Zun and his group arrived at the post station in Songyang Town very late last night. Because of his worries, he didn't sleep well all night.

Zhao Zun got up early in the morning and left Zitan and Jinju at the post station to wait in case Han Lei returned and couldn't find him.

He then led Pingchuan and Xiao Zhengfei, starting from the post station, to search every restaurant and inn in the town that could hide people.

Inside the inn, Wei Chengchao's two guards had woken up sometime earlier. The three of them, bound together, sat on the ground, looking at Han Lei hesitantly.

After Han Lei finished washing up, she untied the ropes binding Wei Chengchao and the other two.

"Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Grandma. I promise I'll stay far away from you and I'll definitely avoid you if I see you again."

"Uh... thank you, Grandma."

Wei Chengchao thought Han Lei was going to let them go and tell them to get lost, so he quickly nodded and thanked her profusely. The two servants also kept thanking her.

"You're overthinking it, aren't you?" Han Lei rolled her eyes at Wei Chengchao. "I told you last night that you took my poison, so there's no need to tie you up. If you want to die, you can get lost now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Chengchao's expression suddenly changed, and he clutched his stomach and wailed.

"Ouch! Ouch, my stomach."
