Chapter 5, The Cold Beauty Killer (2)
Moreover, this woman appears to be an assassin, and in those films and television dramas, the faces of assassins are never clearly visible. If they reveal their appearance, it signifies that a murder is about to take place
He walked over with a grin and said, "Hey, beautiful, look at me, I'm frozen like this, my head is all stiff, can I please put on some clothes first"
The cold beauty gazed at Li Jiangnan with her icy eyes and uttered another cold remark
Better to delay than to make a mistake
The cold beauty's face immediately revealed a look of joy, and she hurriedly said: "Good, quickly tell me, where is it?"
Li Jiangnan was about to say, "How would I know?" When he caught sight of Chen Wanqing's fierce expression, he immediately realized that saying such a thing would render him useless, and he would likely be dealt with by this female fiend who seemed to have come from another planet. He quickly changed his words, saying, "It seems, it seems to be from some Songhe Village in Tongyang County in the north, yes, the surname is Yang, named Yang Baotian"
Li Jiangnan looked at the murderous intent reflected in the beauty's eyes, his heart pounding wildly. At that moment, he realized that with such a commotion, his parents, just a wall away, could not have failed to hear it, yet they had not reacted at all
Then Chen Wanqing said fiercely, "You must not move." Following that, she began to search from the head of the bed.
The fear of death will certainly triumph over the desire for wealth. Li Jiangnan was about to blurt out that the Heavenly Dragon Ring was not far from her feet, hidden in a sock. However, he had always been somewhat cunning since childhood, and at that moment, he suddenly recalled certain scenes often seen in television and movies, where individuals were coerced by villains, honestly confessed, lost their value, and ultimately met with a grim fate.
Li Jiangnan certainly would not move; just moments ago while speaking, he quietly kicked the sock again, completely burying the Tianlong Ring inside. If Chen Wanqing could find this, he would truly be impressed by her.
The cold beauty said softly: "Rest assured, they have merely fallen into a deep sleep due to my enchanting fragrance. They will not awaken until tomorrow noon. However, if you do not speak soon, by the time they wake, you will have already become a corpse"
To preserve one's life, one can only exist in ambiguity
Chen Wanqing indeed did not understand, but she immediately widened her almond-shaped eyes and said: "Nonsense, we have already investigated, He Shide has no relatives at all."
I will count to three; remember, this may be the last three sounds you hear in this world
Li Jiangnan suddenly said with a look of grievance: "Beauty, this is truly a great injustice. What do you mean by saying that I don't look like an honest person at first glance? Is there a mark on the face of an honest person? You don't know, I get scolded by my mother every day for being too honest and lacking common sense, warning me that I will suffer great losses in the future. Even those who look honest can have hearts of beasts and be dressed as gentlemen. Moreover, if I really had that Tianlong Ring and didn't know you were coming, how could I possibly leave it in another place? If you don't believe me, go ahead and search thoroughly."
Li Jiangnan spoke earnestly
Indeed, there is a village named Songhe in Tongyang County in the north, but it is quite remote. Li Jiangnan has a distant relative living there, so he had no choice but to adopt a delaying tactic, fabricating a name at random. He was concerned that this woman might ask questions indiscriminately and cause chaos. If there really is a Yang Baotian in that village, this fellow would be striking it rich.
Li Jiangnan cannot afford to make a single misstep at this moment. He is observing the cold beauty's expression, and he knows that the non-gold, non-silver Tianlong ring hidden in his stinky sock is not just very precious, but extremely precious. That is his only bargaining chip for survival. Whether to directly inform her or not could potentially lead to his own demise.
Li Jiangnan still could not think of how to respond, and could only resort to the strategy of "dragging".
It was hard to believe that this seemingly ordinary man would utter such utterly boring words at such a critical moment. Chen Wanqing nearly fainted. To be honest, it was also her first time seeing a man being so "exposed." However, she didn't pay much attention to it and immediately gritted her teeth, saying: "Stop talking nonsense. Will you tell me the whereabouts of the Tianlong Ring or not?"
Indeed, the blue and white porcelain bowl is more valuable than the white porcelain bowl; your parents have chosen a good name.
Chen Wanqing looked at him and coldly said: "Li Jiangnan, just by looking at you, it's clear that you are not an honest person. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"
Li Jiangnan's heart suddenly sank, and he anxiously asked: "What has happened to my parents? What have you done to them?"
Although Li Jiangnan was smiling, he was terrified inside. However, after that fall, he had already realized that the cold beauty was a deadly demon. Naturally, he felt fear in his heart, but whether he was afraid or not, he would still die. It was better to be a bit more carefree and straightforward. Moreover, only by relaxing could he think clearly.
At such a critical moment, it is unexpected that this fellow could actually smile. A hint of surprise also flashed in the cold beauty's eyes, but she merely said: "https://www.hetushu.com.com Quick Transmigration, Quick Transmigration"
One ... ...
Hello, what do you think of my figure? Others say I am a bit thin, that my chest muscles are underdeveloped and not sexy enough. What is your opinion? Also, are my thighs a bit too thin? Sigh, to be honest, since I was thirteen, only you have had the privilege of seeing me in my underwear. In ancient times, this would have been considered a tarnishing of my purity, and I would have had to offer myself in return.
Her quick response only heightened Li Jiangnan's fear. As an assassin, revealing one's true identity and name is a grave taboo, which deepened Li Jiangnan's suspicion that she was preparing to silence him.
Actually, I went to Old Man He a couple of days ago to help my mother urge him for the payment. At that time, he looked like he was about to kick the bucket. He also told me that a relative of his had just come by. Do you think that so-called Dragon Ring might have been taken by him? I am not lying to you; that iron box really has nothing in it. I just brought it to play with.
Two
Upon hearing this, Li Jiangnan secretly muttered, "I curse you, rotten watermelon," and quickly said, "At that time, Old He was already unclear in his speech, and I didn't listen carefully. He wasn't a relative; he must have been a friend. Yes, it must have been a friend."
Before she could count to three, Li Jiangnan suddenly got up from the ground and said: "Wait, wait, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dragon Ring."
Only the dead do not cause trouble
Li Jiangnan certainly would not speak nonsense, for while he is speaking nonsense, his mind is rapidly thinking, and he has already figured out how to deal with this "blue and white porcelain bowl"
This fellow speaks with a silver tongue, and Chen Wanqing certainly does not believe he is an honest person. However, his last statement was indeed quite constructive. Yes, even she does not know the value of the Dragon Ring, and this fellow would never have thought to come looking for it. According to common sense, it should be kept close at hand.
Li Jiangnan said, because he knew that this beautiful "blue and white bowl" certainly could not understand whether it had been visited a couple of days ago or not
Chen Wanqing
Chen Wanqing looked at him, unable to ascertain the truth of his words, and said: "Alright, where is that friend of his from?"
These thoughts caused Li Jiangnan to swallow back the words that were almost on the tip of his tongue; at such a critical moment of life and death, he could not afford to answer even a single word incorrectly
As he put on his clothes, he said: "Beautiful lady, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dragon Ring, but first, you need to tell me your name"
Before her words had finished, she leaned forward, her slender, snow-white right hand once again grasping Li Jiangnan's neck
The cold beauty Chen Wanqing replied without a moment's hesitation
