Return of the Phoenix Lady

Inside the side room, Jin Haoyu sat at the top, Han Xing sat on his left, and on Han Xing's other side were Ying Rui and his companions sitting leisurely. Shangguan Lan'er and Ouyang Qianrong who sat on Jin Haoyu's right were obviously not in such a good mood. They looked anxious and irritated, and their beautiful eyes were secretly staring at the two attackers kneeling opposite them.

Jin Haoyu took a look at the two attackers' extremely ordinary faces, then his face turned serious and he said sternly, "Tell me! Who sent you to attack Brother Han?"

The two kneeling people looked at each other, then continued to lower their heads in silence.

"How dare you! The Third Prince is asking you a question, and you dare not answer! This is such a heinous crime, they deserve to be put to death!" Seeing that the two ignored Jin Haoyu, Ouyang Qianrong took the opportunity to make trouble. She just wanted the two to die quickly, otherwise if they really confessed, Jin Haoyu would definitely ignore her when he knew it. A few days ago, he specifically asked her to be nice to them. If this was discovered... she didn't dare to imagine it anymore!

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for others to react, Ouyang Qianrong drew out her sword and wanted to stab the two people kneeling on the ground.

Before Jin Haoyu could stop him, Han Xing said, "Wait!" If he didn't stop him, the show would not be able to go on.

As Han Xing spoke, Mei Ye moved, quickly moving in front of the two attackers, and with a slight turn of his soft hands, he firmly grasped the tip of the sword.

Seeing that the one who came to destroy her was Mei Ye, whom she hated the most, Ouyang Qianrong was even more furious. She almost gnashed her silver teeth to pieces, but she couldn't draw her sword. Her anger surged up, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood! She could only curse: "Bitch! Let me go! Let me kill them! Why are you stopping me? Are you in cahoots with them?"

Mei Ye didn't get angry when he heard that. He just smiled faintly and said coldly: "Miss Ouyang, don't be impulsive! How can you kill them when the mastermind hasn't been found out yet? Is there something you can't tell, so you have to kill them?" Mei Ye's seemingly unintentional words hit the mark exactly what Ouyang Qianrong wanted.

Ouyang Qianrong suddenly screamed as if frightened, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be related to them? Don't slander me! It's obviously you..." Before she could finish her shouting, Jin Haoyu, the head of the seat, spoke up, "Rong'er, since you didn't do this, then just stay aside and listen. Don't make any trouble!"

"But, Brother Haoyu..." Ouyang Qianrong was about to say something when Shangguan Lan'er finally spoke up. "Sister Rong, we all know you're acting impulsively for Brother Haoyu's sake, but we have to get to the bottom of this, right? You'd better sit down and take a break!" Shangguan Lan'er secretly winked at Ouyang Qianrong, and Ouyang Qianrong reluctantly sat down. While appearing gentle and approachable, Shangguan Lan'er secretly despised Ouyang Qianrong. What a foolish woman, so reckless! How could she have such a foolish ally?

After Ouyang Qianrong sat down, Jin Haoyu said, "Do you want to confess or not? If not, then you will die. If you do, maybe I will consider sparing your lives!"

The two attackers still knelt there quietly, not saying a word.

Jin Haoyu was immediately annoyed when he saw this. Just as he was about to explode, Ying Rui said with a smile, "Haha~ Third Prince, could you let me try?"

Jin Haoyu glanced at Ying Rui and said lightly: "Can you make them tell the truth?" The contempt in his eyes was particularly obvious, as if saying: With your small body, what means can you use to make these two confess?

"We'll know after we try it," Ying Rui replied, then walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "I advise you to tell me the truth! You'll avoid suffering a pain worse than death. You know, sometimes the most unbearable thing isn't necessarily pain, but also itching. I happen to have a pill here. Once you take it, it will make you feel both pain and itching, making you feel uncomfortable all over. Would you like to try it?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but shudder. They looked at Ying Rui with some fear in their eyes, but they were still stubborn and refused to reveal anything. Only one of them shouted, "You'd better give us pain!"

Ying Rui shook his head helplessly and sighed, "In that case, I'll have to inconvenience you two." After that, without waiting for the two to react, he flipped his hands and two pills popped into their mouths respectively. They melted in their mouths and they couldn't vomit even if they wanted to.

Soon, the effect of the medicine took effect. The two men's faces turned pale quickly, their whole bodies trembled, and sweat broke out on their foreheads. They howled in pain, and their cries were shrill and hoarse, which frightened everyone, especially the two guilty young ladies. Their pretty faces were so pale that they were about to turn blue, for fear of hearing sounds that they should not hear.

The two of them gradually couldn't support their bodies and fell to the ground. Now they couldn't even make a sound and could only lie on the ground sobbing.

Finally, one of the attackers couldn't bear it any longer and struggled to say something. He looked at Ying Rui with an anxious look in his eyes.

Ying Rui understood and walked over to stuff another pill into his mouth. The attacker quickly stopped twitching and fell limply to the ground, gasping for breath and unable to recover for a while.

Soon the other one surrendered as well. After taking the antidote, he was speechless for a while. For a moment, the only sounds in the entire room were the heavy breathing of the two men.

After a while, Jin Haoyu snorted coldly, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the forfeit wine. Are you willing to talk now?"

One of the attackers then raised his head, looked at Shangguan Lan'er and Ouyang Qianrong, and then looked at Jin Haoyu. His meaning was very clear.

"What do you mean! Why are you looking at us?" Ouyang Qianrong shouted guiltily when she saw people staring at them.

"What do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Jin Haoyu glanced at the two women beside him and said coldly to the attacker.

Another attacker trembled as he spoke, "It was... Miss Shangguan... and Ouyang... Miss Ouyang who told us to..." Before he could finish, Ouyang Qianrong yelled, "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you slander us! Are you trying to kill yourself? You must be in cahoots with that bitch! Didn't she tell you to frame us?!"

"Yeah! How can you talk nonsense like that? Lan'er... How could Lan'er do that kind of thing? Wuuuuu~..." Shangguan Lan'er also started a tearful offensive, tears streaming down her face as if they would never stop, and she cried so sadly.

Jin Haoyu's face turned cold upon hearing this. He turned to the two attackers and said, "Do you have any evidence to support your claims? If I find out that you are really framing me, I will make sure you die!"

"The Third Prince is innocent! Everything we said is true! We are the secret guards of the Shangguan and Ouyang families respectively. We were ordered by the two young ladies to get rid of your friends. You will find out if you go to the two families to check. Now that we have become like this, how dare we deceive the prince again?!" said one of the attackers who had recovered most of his strength.

"Brother Haoyu, you have to believe me! I didn't do this! Really! I really didn't do it! It must be that bitch who used her charm to seduce them, so that they can slander us like this! Brother Haoyu, you have to believe us! Brother Haoyu!" Ouyang Qianrong was completely anxious and spoke without thinking.

"Ms. Ouyang! Please apologize! You want to kill me, that's fine, but how can you keep slandering my friends? Aren't you going too far?" Han Xing's face also turned cold, looking at Ouyang Qianrong coldly. Tolerating her once doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants and bully her friends!

"You..." Ouyang Qianrong wanted to say something, but when she saw Jin Haoyu's dark face, she stopped talking immediately. She looked at the people at the table angrily, and finally ran away with her face covered.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Lan'er looked at Jin Haoyu pitifully and said, "Brother Haoyu, Lan'er is your cousin! You have to trust Lan'er! After all, it's me who has been with you for more than ten years, not them!"

Jin Haoyu glanced at Shangguan Lan'er, who was in tears, irritably. He felt annoyed, apologized to Han Xing, and left directly, with Shangguan Lan'er following closely behind.

Han Xing looked at their departing backs and sneered.

This counter-espionage plot was a complete success! Shangguan Lan'er, Ouyang Qianrong, I wonder if you'll learn to be more restrained? If it happens again, the consequences will be more than you can bear!
