1322: Chapter 1322: Justifiable Defense (4) 1322: Chapter 1322: Justifiable Defense (4) âBig Brother?â Seeing Shan Hu remain silent, Shan Bao couldnât contain his anxiety anymore, âYou have to say something; we canât just watch our brothersâŠâ He couldnât continue what he was about to say because he had become too agitated, and then his pain started.
âThis lady hero, itâs not that I donât want to speak, but we also donât know who exactly the other party is.â Shan Hu suddenly sighed, âReally, just before yesterday, someone approached us and said that there would be a passenger ship coming by tonight, they gave us ten thousand taels of Silver, and told us to hijack itâŠâ
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
âItâs true.â Shan Bao also nodded in agreement, âReally, weâre in this line of work, and we wouldâve done it even if they hadnât given us Silver.
We didnât expectâŠâ
âDid the other side not give any specific instructions?â
âThey did.â Upon hearing this, Shan Hu was quick to speak, âThe other side said there would be someone on the ship to coordinate, and that all we had to do was to ravage the widowâs young lady and her daughter on board, the rest was up to usâŠâ
A murderous intent flashed in Yang Ruxinâs eyes; how much hatred must they harbor towards her and her daughter?
She then took out a small section of incense and lit it before walking outside.
âLady hero, weâve told you everything, where is the antidote?â Shan Hu hurriedly followed.
Yang Ruxin gestured with her mouth towards the incense.
Everyone suddenly felt that a certain pain was gone.
However, two of the men exchanged looks and suddenly stood up, rushing towards Yang Ruxinâs back, their treasure swords drawn.
There was a man standing behind Shan Hu; seeing the two attackers, his expression darkened.
He was about to move to save them, but then he suddenly heard two screams, and then saw the two men who had launched the attack fall to the ground with a thud, dead without a struggle.
Each man had a bloody hole in their neck, and what flowed out was black blood.
A green and a white snake shook their heads slightly, then rushed onto Yang Ruxinâs shoulder.
Everyoneâs expressions changed again.
âShan Qi, Shan Ba.â As soon as Shan Hu saw it, he cried out, his eyes even reddening, and he looked up at Yang Ruxin, âYou actually killed them!â
âI was merely defending myself,â Yang Ruxin spread her hands innocently, âI couldnât just stand here and let them kill me, could I?â She swept her gaze over the crowd, âAnyone else want to kill me?â
Even those who had harbored thoughts of attacking her moments ago dared not show any intention now.
âI forgot to tell you, this incense is not the antidote.
It only suppresses the poison inside your bodies, but it only delays it for 24 hours.
Without the antidote by then, the painâŠâ
âYou deceived us?â
âWhen did I ever deceive you?
You hijacked my ship, and I still donât know the condition of the people on board.
Why should I just let you go?â Yang Ruxin scoffed, âRest assured, if my ship and people are safe, I will give you the antidote.â
Everyone immediately felt guilty; they had set fire to it when they left, and nowâŠ
On the river, although the military firefighters arrived in time, the ship was still burned to a wreck and eventually sank into the water, but fortunately, all the people were rescued ashore.
Ling Family was still somewhat stunned; everything that happened tonight was so sudden that she felt her heart pounding fiercelyâhad they just escaped with their lives?
She wanted to thank those who had rescued them and also ask about the young miss and Xinxin, but she simply had no chance as the soldiers around her watched closely, not allowing them to move; she just had to wait.
