Seeing her being so straightforward, Mei Qing looked down at her and asked, "You dare to eat it without even asking what it is?"
"At most, it's just poison. Either it's a kind of poison that makes people addicted and unable to live without you, or it's a kind of poison that makes me wish I were dead. Anyway, you're not likely to give me something nourishing, right?" Su Mingyu glanced at Mei Qing obliquely, without a trace of fear in her words.
"I'm starting to admire you," Mei Qing narrowed her eyes. "Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. This is indeed poison, a kind of addictive poison. If you don't take it for a single day, you'll feel as if ants are biting all over your body."
Su Mingyu just replied with a calm "oh" and said, "You're quite kind to me. I thought you'd give me a kind of poison that would make me feel extremely painful."
"You!" Mei Qing didn't expect Su Mingyu to be so calm. She stared at Su Mingyu with a gloomy face. "You'll know how powerful it is when the poison kicks in."
After saying that, Mei Qing turned around angrily and left.
Watching Mei Qing's back as she left, Su Mingyu sneered. It was just an addictive poison. She wasn't afraid of it at all.
You know, as a top - level special agent, one of the necessary trainings was anti - poisoning.
She didn't believe that the ancient purification technology could produce anything comparable to high - purity heroin.
Moreover, most importantly, in the past few days, Mei Qing had been showing up for shorter and shorter periods of time. This meant that the situation outside had become so complicated that she couldn't come to see her often.
So next, she would finally get to meet the mastermind behind all this.
The person had gone to so much trouble to capture her. It shouldn't just be to let Mei Qing take out her anger and then keep her like a noble guest, right?
As if to prove Su Mingyu's thoughts, the next day, Mei Qing came to the wooden house early in the morning. Then, without any explanation, she ordered her men to tie up Su Mingyu.
When Su Mingyu was taken onto the carriage and jolted all the way, she finally asked, "Is the person behind you going to see me?"
Mei Qing really hated her superior and in - control attitude. "Shut up! Or I'll gag you."
Seeing this, Su Mingyu could only raise her eyebrows and stop talking. She simply leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes.
The carriage jolted all the way. Su Mingyu calculated that it was about time to reach the city. According to that person's cautious attitude, it was impossible for Mei Qing to take her into the city. So were they going to a more remote mountain?
Su Mingyu felt a little nervous. The more remote the place was, the more difficult it would be for others to find her.
Just as she was thinking, Su Mingyu suddenly heard several rustling sounds beside the carriage. A slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
It seemed that she had underestimated Gu Ruobai. He had found her as soon as she moved.
Mei Qing also keenly noticed the abnormality around her. She quickly took out a knife and put it on Su Mingyu's neck. "Don't move!"
Su Mingyu let her hold the knife against her neck. "Don't worry. I cherish my life more than you do."
Mei Qing's face looked a bit ugly. "We don't know who's coming yet. You're quite optimistic."
Su Mingyu sneered. "You clearly know that you can't escape, but you're still so self - deluding. I think Miss Mei Qing is the truly optimistic one."
Mei Qing tightened her grip on the knife, and a red mark appeared on Su Mingyu's neck.
But Su Mingyu didn't care at all. She just continued, "Mei Qing, if you stop now, maybe Mu Yi can take you away again. But if Mu Yi sees you holding a knife against me, do you think Mu Yi will still help you?"
"None of your business! Shut up!" At this moment, Mei Qing was so nervous that she was sweating all over.
She stared at Su Mingyu with an ugly expression. "I've already poisoned you. Gu Ruobai won't kill me in order to keep you alive."
Unexpectedly, she had already thought of this step.
Su Mingyu curled her lips. "He definitely won't, but I will."
As she said that, Su Mingyu took advantage of Mei Qing's inattention. She lifted her foot and kicked the dagger out of Mei Qing's hand.
While Mei Qing was surprised and about to pick up the dagger, Su Mingyu quickly drew out another short blade from Mei Qing's waist and stabbed it into Mei Qing's palm.
Mei Qing let out a muffled groan of pain. She took a deep breath and was about to pull out the short blade when a strong hand grabbed her neck. The person pulled her and the dagger out of the carriage in one go, and then a cold - shining blade was placed on her neck.
A cold voice sounded. "Don't move!"
Mei Qing looked up and saw Gu Ruobai with a cold expression. "How did you find this place?"
There was confusion in Mei Qing's eyes. Leaving other things aside, based on her understanding of Gu Ruobai, it shouldn't be very difficult to avoid his pursuit.
Su Mingyu wriggled her wrists to break free from the ropes, then walked up to Mei Qing and looked down at her. "Are you curious about how to use the weapons in the arsenal?"
Hearing this, Mei Qing immediately understood what was going on.
She stared at Su Mingyu with wide eyes in disbelief and full of hatred. "Su Mingyu! You're so insidious! You deliberately told me about the weapons in the arsenal, and you were sure that I would try to figure out how to use them. Then Gu Ruobai could take this opportunity to find me."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "It seems that you're not that stupid. You probably didn't expect that only Gu Ruobai had those weapons. Moreover, Gu Ruobai had hidden those weapons so well that other people in the capital had never even seen them, let alone knew how to use them. So as soon as you showed up with those weapons, you were noticed."
"Did you really design those weapons?" Mei Qing still couldn't believe it. Just a little Su Mingyu. How could she design such delicate weapons?
Su Mingyu snorted but didn't answer her. "I'm asking you. Did you take me out to see the person behind you?"
"I won't tell you!" Mei Qing pursed her lips. "Since you've caught me, you can do whatever you want with me!"
Then, Mei Qing suddenly sneered at Gu Ruobai. "Gu Ruobai, even if you've caught me, it's useless. Su Mingyu has already been poisoned by Qingming. She has to take the antidote every day, or she'll suffer terribly."
Gu Ruobai's face darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed Mei Qing's hand, staring at her coldly. "Hand over the antidote."
Mei Qing snorted. "I don't have it!"
Seeing that Gu Ruobai was tightening his grip on her hand, Su Mingyu quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Gu Ruobai, wait a minute."
Gu Ruobai's eyes were gloomy. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and the cold air emanating from his body made the surrounding temperature drop a few degrees.
