Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1214 Pretender

His eyes twitched, and he suddenly spoke: "Mr. Qing, I have a favor to ask."

"Young Master Jiang, please speak freely."

Qing Shanhe pondered for a moment.

"I'm afraid of heights, and I don't like riding cable cars. I always feel uneasy when I'm high up in the air."

Jiang Xiaochuan pointed to the sweeping waiter and said, "Could this brother come down with me? It would put my mind at ease."

Upon hearing this, Qing Shanhe laughed heartily: "Young Master Jiang is joking. What kind of request is this?"

He immediately beckoned to the man, "Please come here and accompany Young Master Jiang down the mountain."

The man's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, then he lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

After saying goodbye to Qing Shanhe, Jiang Xiaochuan and the other man entered the cable car together.

The cabin doors closed, and the cable car began its slow descent.

The cabin was silent, and the man kept his head down the whole time.

"how?"

Jiang Xiaochuan spoke, his tone somewhat mocking, "You schemed against me, but dare not show your true face. Boss Tang, this is not like you."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

The man's voice was still hoarse, but it carried a hint of panic.

Jiang Xiaochuan sneered, his right hand shooting out like a serpent, aiming straight for the other's neck.

The opponent reacted quickly, dodging sharply to the side while simultaneously raising their hand to counterattack with ruthless moves.

But Jiang Xiaochuan was faster. His wrists seemed boneless as he bent them to avoid the opponent's block, and his fingertips precisely gripped the opponent's chin, pulling it sharply!

With a "rip," a lifelike human skin mask was forcibly torn off, revealing Tang Long's furious face.

"How...how did you know it was me?"

Tang Long roared, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He should have already been sitting on a private plane bound for overseas.

Just as the plane was about to take off, he put on the carefully prepared human skin mask, completely concealed his presence with the help of the concealment bead, and risked turning back.

The reason that prompted him to return was simple:

He wanted to watch Jiang Xiaochuan be driven into a desperate situation by the trap he had set.

He probably won't return to this land in the short term, so the thrill of witnessing his enemy's annihilation is worth the risk.

With a lifelike human skin mask and a top-grade concealing pearl in hand, Tang Long had plenty of confidence.

And that was indeed the case. Yun Chongshan, who had been in contact with Murong Zheng earlier, did not notice anything unusual.

But Jiang Xiaochuan recognized him at a glance!

Jiang Xiaochuan shrugged, his tone icy, "Do I need to tell a dead man?"

Today, Tang Long is doomed to die.

Upon hearing this, Tang Long's face turned deathly pale, and he suddenly realized the dangerous situation he was in.

He knew Jiang Xiaochuan's strength all too well; he was no match for him.

"Our situation is forced upon us by circumstances, why must it escalate to the point of life and death?"

Tang Long forced himself to remain calm.

"Okay."

Jiang Xiaochuan said with a relaxed expression, "Tell me the secrets you know, and I might consider letting you go when I get back."

Upon hearing this, a calculating glint flashed across Tang Long's eyes as he glanced furtively outside the cable car.

The cabin is descending rapidly, and the trees on the ground are becoming clearer. In two more minutes, we will land!

Once he sets foot on the ground, he is absolutely certain of escaping!

Having roamed the capital for so many years, Tang Long knew how many people he had offended, so he carried many life-saving treasures with him.

Swift Wind Talisman, Concealing Breath Bead... these are all the escape tools he has collected over the years.

“I do know the secret,”

While secretly clenching the Gale Talisman in his sleeve, Tang Long pretended to be troubled, "However, this matter is of great importance, so you have to let me think about it carefully, lest I say something wrong and delay you."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at the ground, waiting for the hatch to open so he could immediately activate the talisman and escape.

Looking at his self-deceiving appearance, Jiang Xiaochuan sighed, "Since you don't want this opportunity, then don't blame me for taking it myself."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly moved!

Tang Long was prepared. Upon seeing this, he suddenly turned to the side, his left arm blocking his chest, while his right leg bent at the knee and slammed into Jiang Xiaochuan's lower abdomen.

Knowing that his skills were inferior, he could only close in and entangle his opponent to force him back and buy time to land.

But Jiang Xiaochuan was much faster. He sidestepped the incoming knee, twisted his wrist strangely, bypassed Tang Long's block, and chopped down with his palm.

Tang Long broke out in a cold sweat and quickly leaned back, his back slamming hard against the cable car wall with a dull thud.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, he formed his right hand into a claw and reached for Jiang Xiaochuan's wrist, trying to force Jiang Xiaochuan to retreat.

Jiang Xiaochuan did not dodge or evade. He suddenly reached out with his left hand, quickly grabbed Tang Long's wrist, and used his fingertips to precisely press on the pulse in his wrist.

Tang Long felt a tingling sensation spread along his arm, and the force of his grip instantly dissipated by more than half.

In that split second, Jiang Xiaochuan slapped the Fengshi acupoint on the outside of his thigh with his right hand.

"hiss!"

Tang Long gasped in pain, but forced himself to remain silent.

He knew it was just a superficial injury, and he just needed to hold on until he landed.

After a fierce struggle, Tang Long was knocked around and staggered in the cramped cabin.

However, knowing he hadn't suffered a major loss, he even used the force of the collision to move two steps towards the hatch.

With a soft click, the cable car doors slowly opened.

Looking at the ground so close at hand, Tang Long grinned arrogantly: "You little bastard, thanks for playing with me all this way!"

He suddenly broke free from Jiang Xiaochuan's grasp and turned to jump out of the cabin, but as soon as he lifted his feet, he suddenly felt his legs go numb, as if they were filled with lead, and they were completely unresponsive!

"what happened?!"

Tang Long's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong. He instinctively looked down.

He saw that on each of the three acupoints on his legs—Huantiao, Yanglingquan, and Zusanli—a tiny silver needle was stuck. Only a little bit of the needle tip was visible, yet it felt as if it had a thousand-pound force, pinning him down so he couldn't move.

A look of horror instantly filled his face. He turned sharply to look at Jiang Xiaochuan, his voice trembling: "When? When did you do it?!"

He couldn't understand how he could have been silently stabbed in so many acupoints during the fight when he was on guard the whole time.

These acupoints are vital points of the main meridians. Now that they are sealed, he feels as if all his strength has been drained. He doesn't even have the strength to lift his hand, let alone run away.

No matter how wonderful the Gale Talisman on his body was, it was now useless.

The will to survive overwhelmed everything; Tang Long's arrogance instantly turned into a terrified plea for mercy.

"Brother Jiang! Master Jiang! I was wrong! I shouldn't have schemed against you! I'll tell you the secret now, please spare my life!"

"The opportunity has been given to you."

Jiang Xiaochuan slowly walked up to him.
