Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 28: Stab Me (1/2)

“They’re in 42 Old Duck Street,” He Xu said, exhausted They were still sitting in the dungeon

“How co to speak now?” Zhu Xianyao asked

She hadn’t let down her guard just because He Xu was now suddenly willing to cooperate

“I don’t want to die,” He Xu replied straightforwardly

“You don’t want to die? Do you think that anything you can say noill have any value? You’ve been gone for so long now that anyone who has half a brain should realize that you’ve fallen into my hands Even if you weren’t in my hands, those assassins have already failed twice — there’s no way they would stay holed up in the same place if they don’t want to be detected What’s the point of giving me that address now?”

“Of course there’s a point That’s an important secret rendezvous point that they didn’t tell est secret I know Can’t you tell if I’ure it out!” He Xu yelled

He Xu was really putting on quite the performance

Zhu Xianyao carefully inspected He Xu and found that there weren’t any strange fluctuations She nodded and said, “He isn’t lying”

She stood up “Inforet ready to iwen said before leaving

Su Chen said, “Young Miss, since this person has told us everything he knows, should we……”

Hemotion with his hand

He Xu panicked “No, no, you promised me that you wouldn’t kill rabbed He Xu by the throat It seeh to end his life

Zhu Xianyao thought for a et about it Leave hiht still be useful to us in the future”

“Count your lucky stars” Su Chen grabbed He Xu by the collar and dragged hih in his heart

If Zhu Xianyao had agreed to kill him, He Xu would have obtained his freedo Medicine; as long as Zhu Xianyao gave the order, he would immediately “kill” He Xu, then dump his body The people on the outside would come by to pick him up and He Xu would be free He had spent quite a bit of tiredients for this medicine these past few days to refine it

Unfortunately, Zhu Xianyao didn’t want to kill hione to waste

“That’s your bad luck” He dragged He Xu towards the cell

“Then what should I do next?” He Xu was growing agitated

“Stay here for a bit I’ll get you out of here”

“That’s what you said last time, but I’m still here!”

“So you think that I’m useless? Don’t worry, I can switch with someone else”

“……That’s not what I ht” As he spoke, Su Chen shoved He Xu back into the cell

Then, he pulled out an Origin Ring “Don’t blain Ring Everything is still in there, along with a few vials of medicine I put in there Now that you have it, whether or not you escape will depend on your own ability But don’t do it today You just drank the Death Faking Medicine; even if you won’t be injured, you’ll autorabbed it, then looked at himself and said with some apprehension, “Where should I hide it?”

Su Chen shrugged “That’s your own problem”

He definitely wouldn’t be able to wear it on his finger He Xu glanced hiaze paused near his crotch

Su Chen sht of this beforehand, didn’t you?”

“I won’t tell anyone”

He Xu rolled his eyes

He began to stuff it in his pants When he saw Su Chen standing there, he said i yet?”

“I’ve never seen anyone put a ring on that thing before,” Su Chen laughed “Of course, the other reason is that I need to delay a bit Zhu Xianyao is currently organizing the troops up there; if I delay a bit, I’ll be able to avoid the expedition this ti to reuys that tried to assassinate you?” He Xu was stunned

Su Chen waved his hand dis”

“……You really have thought everything through” He Xu helplessly stuck his hands in his pants His hands reeone

Su Chen laughed “Okay, then I’ht of so up the stairs He turned around and said, “Let ”
