Chapter 1202 Waste
Chapter 1202 Waste
From the hollowed-out needle tip, wisps of extremely faint white mist began to slowly escape, and the abnormal flush on Tang Ran's face and body also dissipated with the white mist.
It gradually subsided at a visible rate, and the burning body temperature seemed to be dropping as well.
The sixth man leaned closer, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Hey! You can use this needle like that? It's like extracting poison gas! Where did you learn this skill?"
Jiang Xiaochuan ignored him. After the last wisp of white smoke dissipated, he pulled out a silver needle to check Tang Ran's pulse. Only after confirming that her breathing was stable did he breathe a sigh of relief: "She's alright for now. We need to get her out of here as soon as possible."
"Ahem..."
At this moment, Murong Jin suddenly woke up and heard Jiang Xiaochuan's words clearly.
As the heir of the prestigious Murong family, he had not only been ambushed by two reckless scoundrels, but they even tried to take Tang Ran away. Murong Jin trembled with rage: "You dare to take her away! The Murong family will not let you get away with this!"
"Damn it, I forgot about you, you bastard!"
Murong Jin's shout only fueled the sixth brother's anger.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his chubby arms, and rushed to the stone table in a few steps. He glared fiercely at Murong Jin on the ground, as if he wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart.
Murong Jin trembled with fear at the sixth brother's fierce demeanor, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Only then did he belatedly realize that, in order to "do things" without any scruples, he had already sent his personal bodyguard away.
Even the servants in the manor were moved to the front yard... The remaining people had no attention on him at all.
Even more dangerously, in order to do it without anyone noticing and leave no evidence, he even cut off the surveillance in the area beforehand.
In retrospect, everything I had carefully planned had become a cage that trapped me.
He was the only one in the pavilion in the middle of the lake who couldn't move; if a fight broke out, there would be no one to help him.
"What...what do you want to do?" Murong Jin tried to maintain the composure of an heir, but his voice trembled.
"...What are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Murong Jin was such a coward. Old Six sneered, "You dare to lay a finger on my woman? If I don't cripple your bastard today, how will I, Fatty, maintain my reputation in the underworld?"
As he spoke, he bent his knees, about to deliver that devastating groin kick.
"and many more!"
Jiang Xiaochuan reacted quickly, grabbing Lao Liu's wrist. "Don't be impulsive!"
"Why are you stopping me?"
The sixth brother looked unhappy.
"As far as I know, he is the heir appointed by the Murong family and is cherished by Murong Bogu in the family."
Jiang Xiaochuan pointed at Murong Jin, whose face had turned pale, and said, "If we really cripple him, the Murong family will fight us to the death. It's not worth dragging ourselves into a dead end for him. In that case, we'll both be entangled."
"So you're just going to let him go like that?"
Old Six was so angry he spun around in circles. "If word gets out, people in the underworld will say I, Old Six, chickened out!"
"Hmph, do you have any other choice?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Murong Jin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.
He was most afraid that the other party was a reckless fool who didn't know his own limitations and would attack him without considering the consequences. But judging from Jiang Xiaochuan's appearance, he was obviously afraid of the power of the Murong family.
They're just two cowardly thieves; I doubt they'd dare lay a finger on me!
The innate sense of superiority had barely surfaced when, before he could even feel smug, Old Six suddenly raised his foot and kicked him hard in the ribs—"I, Fatty, hate being threatened the most! You think you're so great just because you're the heir?"
The kick was swift and vicious, sending Murong Jin flying off the stone table. He crashed heavily into a stone pillar of the pavilion in the middle of the lake with a loud thud, the pain making his vision blur and almost causing him to faint.
As luck would have it, the brocade box in her arms fell to the ground with a "thud".
The lid popped open, and the "Memory-Eroding Pill" rolled out, spun twice on the bluestone slab, and stopped at Jiang Xiaochuan's feet.
"My Memory-Eroding Pill!"
Murong Jin's eyes were red, and he no longer cared about the pain. He struggled to crawl over and pick it up.
This is a treasure he spent 200 million to acquire; it's the key to getting Tang Ran and framing Jiang Xiaochuan, and he absolutely cannot lose it!
But half of his body was numb and unresponsive. He managed to prop himself up a little, but then fell back to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as the pills drifted further and further away from him.
"Finished? Today, I, Fatty, will make sure you're completely finished!"
Old Six rolled up his sleeves and was about to charge forward again, "How dare you bully my fiancée! I'll hide in an ancient tomb and live a life worse than death!"
"do not move."
Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly spoke up. He bent down, picked up the pill, and twirled it between his fingers, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "To deal with him, you don't necessarily have to resort to violence."
Jiang Xiaochuan had previously wondered why Murong Jin dared to lay a hand on Tang Ran.
It wasn't until he saw this pill that he truly understood the source of Murong Jin's confidence.
He could even guess what would happen next: once Murong Jin succeeded, he would feed Tang Ran this medicine to erase her memory and then instill a scapegoat in her.
Nine times out of ten, the scapegoat will be himself.
If that's the case, then he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries.
He was well aware of the effects of this thing, and at the same time, he had to admit that Murong Jin was really lucky.
They actually managed to get their hands on such a rare treasure.
"It's a bit of a waste to use such a treasure on Murong Jin."
Jiang Xiaochuan secretly made his plans.
But then I thought, since this guy used this medicine to scheme against Tang Ran, he might also want to frame me. This "gift" should naturally be returned intact.
In addition, there is another reason: Lao Liu always refers to himself as Fatty.
If Murong Jin's memory isn't erased, once he calms down, he might very well guess that the two of them were disguised to rescue Tang Ran.
"You just said this is called 'Memory-Eroding Pill'?"
Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyes and said slowly.
Murong Jin froze, his eyes darting away, unable to meet her gaze. After a long pause, he forced a defense: "No, no! It's just an ordinary tonic!"
"Can a regular tonic scare you this much?"
The sixth brother, completely bewildered, couldn't help but shove Jiang Xiaochuan, his tone displeased, "Hey, stop beating around the bush! What are you up to? Just tell me!"
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't hide anything. He held the pill between his fingers and explained the characteristics of the "Memory Erosion Pill" in a steady voice.
"Holy crap! There are such weird things?"
Lao Liu's eyes lit up instantly, and he snatched the pill from Jiang Xiaochuan's hand, brought it to his nose and sniffed it hard, then examined it from all angles.
"Luckily you pointed it out, otherwise I would have crushed this treasure to pieces!"
He weighed the pills in his hand, then turned to look at Jiang Xiaochuan, "So what are you planning to do?"
