Chapter 2276 You're the dumbest one
Miaoqin's numbness was still spreading throughout her body, but upon hearing Manager Qi's words, she still stubbornly denied it.
"You're talking nonsense! Zhou Zhenghang isn't dead at all, he's just sitting in the shop!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu chuckled softly, her eyes filled with sarcasm: "Don't you know? That fake Zhou Zhenghang has already taken off his mask and revealed his true colors on the street."
"What fake? What mask? What nonsense are you spouting!"
Miaoqin was incredulous, her mind a complete mess.
Yan Ruyu lightly tapped her forehead with her finger and said casually, "You don't believe me? Then let me show you with my own eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of steady footsteps came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Governor Cao personally leading several constables, escorting three people in.
Upon seeing this, Manager Yu and the others quickly stepped forward to greet Governor Cao: "Greetings, Governor Cao."
Governor Cao waved his hand, his tone serious: "No need for formalities."
The constables brought the three prisoners closer.
Miaoqin stared intently at the three people, and when she saw their faces clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted and all color drained from her face.
The leader had a similar build to Zhou Zhenghang, but he wasn't wearing Zhou Zhenghang's human skin mask; instead, he had a strange face.
Standing beside her were her maid and the assassin sent to the prison to kill Zhou Zhenghang!
"What's going on?" Miaoqin's voice was shrill, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes fixed on the person impersonating Zhou Zhenghang. "Where's your mask? Why is this happening!"
The man trembled at her fierce gaze and lowered his head in grievance: "I don't know either. Yesterday, I was following the plan in front of the shop when suddenly... my mask was seen through on the spot."
"Yesterday?" Miaoqin's mind went blank, and her vision blurred.
yesterday!
She was convinced that everything was going smoothly at the shop, but she never expected that such a big thing would happen, and she was completely unaware of it!
She abruptly turned to look at the assassin, her gaze sharp enough to kill: "Tell me! What exactly happened? I ordered you to kill Zhou Zhenghang in prison, and what did you accomplish?!"
The assassin kept his head down and remained silent.
Now that things have come to this, all plans have been exposed, there's no point in saying anything more, we can only accept our fate.
Miaoqin then turned her gaze to her maid, her teeth grinding together: "You wretch! And what have you done? I told you to keep an eye on the shop and report any developments immediately, what have you done?"
The maid avoided looking at her, only shaking her head repeatedly.
Yan Ruyu chuckled softly, her tone full of amusement: "Today's success is all thanks to your loyal subordinates."
She paused, looked at Miaoqin's pale face, and slowly added, "You sent someone to the prison to kill someone and cover it up, but you killed the wrong person and didn't even remove the mask."
Later, she went outside the city to retrieve the mask. Your maid, fearing your punishment, kept it a secret from you until we caught her, at which point she confessed everything.
Miaoqin's eyes widened, almost spitting blood.
Everything that was carefully planned was completely ruined by these few good-for-nothings!
Killing the wrong person, losing her mask, and being kept in the dark—each and every one of these events was like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
"To be honest, after fighting with Mr. Mo for so long, your team is the dumbest." Yan Ruyu's voice was light and airy, but it carried the most ruthless power. "Your work is full of loopholes, and you are still self-righteous."
These words struck a nerve with Miaoqin.
She volunteered to come to Youcheng this time because she wanted to make a pledge to Mr. Mo and prove her ability, but what was the result?
Not only was the entire plan ruined, but he also became the most foolish person in everyone else's eyes!
She was already feeling unwell due to the poisoning, and now she was so angry that her blood was churning and she couldn't stop trembling.
His hand gripping the dagger trembled even more violently, the tip of the blade pointing shakily at Yan Ruyu: "You...you dare to humiliate me!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Qin Zhao, who was being held hostage by Miaoqin.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yin Ding kicked Qin Zhao in the lower back.
Qin Zhao felt a numbness in his lower back, and his body involuntarily staggered forward a few steps, falling right next to Sun Qing and Wu Liang.
Qin Zhao's face turned pale, his body stiffened, and he held his breath.
Yin Ding stepped forward, about to grab Miao Qin, when he saw Miao Qin suddenly hold a dagger to her own neck.
Yan Ruyu gave a short laugh, disdainfully: "You wouldn't be thinking of threatening me with your own life, would you?"
Miaoqin's hands were still trembling, the blade pressing painfully against her neck, her eyes filled with a crazed stubbornness: "That's right! If I die, everyone in those treatment centers will be buried with me!"
"Besides, you probably don't know this, but I also poisoned another place."
If I die, half the people in the western city will die!
"If you dare touch me, you can expect to be collecting those people's corpses!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.
Shopkeeper Yu said urgently, "There are so many innocent people in the West City, how can you be so heartless!"
Miaoqin, however, did not care and just stared intently at Yan Ruyu, waiting for her to compromise.
Just then, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Are you referring to the three wells in the west of the city?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huo Changhe walking in slowly, his expression cold and his eyes sharp as knives.
Miaoqin froze, the madness on her face instantly gone, staring at him in disbelief: "You... how did you know?"
Governor Cao snorted coldly from the side, his tone full of confidence: "Don't think you've done it perfectly. Everything is under the control of the Prince and Princess!"
Huo Changhe walked to Yan Ruyu's side: "Your Highness is wise. You knew you would be ruthless and not act alone."
"I have already sent men to keep an eye on you. As for the three wells in the west of the city, they have long been sealed off. The people have not been able to drink the poisoned water."
Miaoqin's face instantly turned ashen, even more so than when she had just vomited blood.
Her last trump card was also cracked!
"Impossible!" She shook her head, muttering to herself, her eyes unfocused, unable to bear the successive blows. "I had everything arranged, how could this happen? How did you know..."
Yin Ding sneered from the side: "I told you long ago, your plan has come to an end, but you just wouldn't believe me."
The myna bird squawked, "Oh dear, things have collapsed! Come on~ you're asking for trouble..."
Miaoqin shouted loudly, "Shut up, shut up!"
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and venom, staring intently at Yan Ruyu: "It was you! It was all your doing! If it weren't for you, I would have succeeded long ago!"
Yan Ruyu glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "You chose this path yourself, so you can't blame anyone else."
Mr. Mo taught you how to harm others with poison, but he didn't teach you that those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish.
"Trying to catch me? Dream on!" Miaoqin screamed, about to slash the dagger at her own neck.
Yin Ding reacted quickly, stepping forward and grabbing her wrist.
Miaoqin was deeply poisoned and powerless. She was no match for Yinding. Her wrist went numb and the dagger fell to the ground.
Yin Ding twisted her arm behind her back and held it firmly, then said to Sun Qing, "Tie her up and keep a close eye on her!"
Sun Qing responded and stepped forward, took out a rope from his waist, and was about to tie her up.
Yan Ruyu waved her hand, saying, "She doesn't need to. She's already deeply poisoned and can't escape."
After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed to someone.
Tie him up!
Everyone looked in the direction Yan Ruyu was pointing and were taken aback.
