Chapter 134 - ONE-SIDED INTERROGATION OF MADAM RU (2/2)
”Now, there's only one question I'm particularly interested in knowing the answer. If you tell it to me, I might even consider sparing your life. Which son of Prince Lin Rong is connected with Wei?”
This time, Madam Ru's reaction was much bigger. Her eyes visibly widened. But soon, it turned to calmness again. She looked at Shen Ji Yun and smirked. ”I won't tell you anything.”
He noticed her moving her jaw, as if she was about to bite into something. But Shen Ji Yun was faster than her. He moved like a flash of lightning, putting his hand over her mouth. Pinching her jaw to prevent her from biting anything. Madam Ru looked at him full of unwillingness and hatred.
Shen Ji Yun already guessed that she was probably trying to kill herself. Either by poison or by biting her own tongue. How could he let that happen when he hadn't yet gotten the information they needed? But then again, how would he do that when the NPC he's trying to get the information from couldn't talk? Because he knew, once he let go, this NPC would just immediately kill herself.
In this situation, he could only gamble.
He looked coldly at Madam Ru. ”You don't need to answer because we already know who it is. It's Lin Mo.”
After he said the name, Madam Ru's pupils dilated. Clearly in panic. That was enough to confirm which of the two sons of Prince Lin Rong was connected to Wei.
He forcefully let go of his hold to her jaws, almost planting her face on the ground.
”Go ahead. You can now kill yourself.”
Madam Ru looked at him hatefully. But she didn't speak and just continued was she was about to do earlier. She bit on something. After that, she vomited blood and completely collapsed on the ground.
What happened to her was almost the same as what happened to Prince Lin Rong during the banquet. So there's no doubt that she poisoned herself. This NPC was probably programmed to do that once she knew that her mission failed.
”She really killed herself?” asked Luo Yan who had only been listening since Shen Ji Yun and Madam Ru walked in the torture chamber.
”It didn't matter. We already got the answer we needed.”
Shen Ji Yun walked towards the rabbit. Finally, he could get him out of those chains. He was about to do just that when another voice echoed in the dark dungeon.
”Are you two doing some kind of bondage play?”
Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned to the direction of the voice. And there, standing just outside the torture chamber was Duan Yu. Looking at them full of interest.
