When Jiang Qinglong said "This matter is not over yet" in a venomous tone, the unchanging smile on the middle-aged man's face finally changed.

The smile gradually faded, and the middle-aged man revealed his true expression that had been hidden under the fake mask-like smile.

Indifference, as cold as an iceberg, as desolate as a desert.

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Qinglong steadily and spoke slowly.

"What trick did you just play?"

"When you were talking to Chu Longtu on the phone, did you say a code word?"

"What did you say?"

The middle-aged man asked three times in a row, his tone getting colder and harsher each time, and his sense of oppression getting stronger each time.

However, it had no effect on Jiang Qinglong. Instead, Jiang Qinglong couldn't help laughing when he saw the middle-aged man finally breaking through his defense.

"You're scared!"

Jiang Qinglong laughed, but his tone of voice was extremely determined.

The middle-aged man's face was even more indifferent, his right hand turned into a claw, and he gently pinched the small porcelain bottle placed on the table and said calmly.

"You have been taking our special toxin for nearly an hour. If you do not take the first antidote within a short period of time, the amount of toxins in your body will exceed the critical point and become completely out of control!"

"At that time, even if you pay ten or a hundred antidotes, it won't be able to dissolve the toxins in your body. You can only watch yourself slowly die with your eyes open."

"I only have one bottle of this antidote with me."

"Now I only need to squeeze it gently, and this bottle of elixir will be crushed and destroyed. If you don't have an antidote to the toxins in your body, you will have to wait to die."

"So, would you like to mock me again?"

The middle-aged man's tone was calm, as if he was chatting with his neighbor about family affairs, but the content of his words was so vicious that it made people shudder!

Under the naked threat of death, even if Jiang Qinglong held his breath and wanted to say a few harsh words, he was blocked.

Seeing Jiang Qinglong's aura visibly weakening, the middle-aged man continued to ask.

"What code words did you say to Chu Longtu on the phone just now?"

Jiang Qinglong rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"What do you think?"

"Every sentence and every word I just replied to Chu Longtu was answered under your instruction. You almost didn't write it down for me to read, so how can I send him a secret message?"

"Besides, my life is now in your hands. How dare I take the risk of sending a secret message to Chu Longtu?"

"My friendship with Chu Longtu is not deep enough for me to work for Chu Longtu!"

"You are really overthinking."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said calmly, "Then what's the matter with the unfinished business you just mentioned?"

Jiang Qinglong and the middle-aged man looked at each other and sneered.

"I don't know what your relationship is with Master and Disciple Chu Longtu, and I don't care."

"But don't you really think that you can fool Chu Longtu by just finding a reason and saying that there is no trace of Concubine Luo Qing?"

The middle-aged man's eyes moved, while Jiang Qinglong said to himself.

"Although I don't know your origins, judging from how you ambushed me and asked me to lie to Chu Longtu, even if you and Chu Longtu are not enemies, they are definitely not friendly."

"Since we are enemies, you should know better than me what kind of person Chu Longtu is."

"He swore that there were traces of his master in Lin'an City, but I reported to him that no trace of his master was found."

"There are two such contradictory pieces of information. Based on your understanding of Chu Longtu, which one do you think Chu Longtu will believe?"

"Do you believe me?"

Jiang Qinglong laughed jokingly, and the indifference on the middle-aged man's face was unconsciously replaced by solemnity.

Obviously, Jiang Qinglong's words entered his heart.

And Jiang Qinglong is still outputting.

"If I were Chu Longtu, of course I would choose to trust my own people."

"And I am not in the same league as Chu Longtu's own people."

"In this way, Chu Longtu naturally noticed the problem in my words, and your purpose of trying to fool him will naturally fail."

"And when Chu Longtu discovers a problem, what will he do?"

Jiang Qinglong sneered and raised his eyebrows, while the middle-aged man's expression gradually changed from solemn to ugly. After being silent for a while, he sighed softly.

"I made a mistake."

"I just wanted to fool him, but I didn't expect that such a big change would definitely arouse his suspicion."

"With Chu Longtu's cautious character, he would naturally go to Lin'an City to check it out in person before he felt at ease."

"Bingo!"

Jiang Qinglong snapped his fingers, "That's why I said this matter is not over yet."

"Maybe Chu Longtu will be on his way here by now."

"With the distance of more than 200 kilometers between Jiangdong City and Lin'an City, if the car drives faster, it can be reached in an hour and a half."

"It would be faster if we took a plane!"

"When Chu Longtu arrives, our second half of the show will really begin!"

Jiang Qinglong said with a sneer, while the middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he could vaguely see emotions such as harshness, regret, and hesitation rolling through him one after another.

Jiang Qinglong naturally saw the change in the middle-aged man's eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he was so forceful and spoke harshly to the middle-aged man even when he was under control, and even used Chu Long Picture to scare the middle-aged man, was to frighten the middle-aged man and make him have scruples.

Jiang Qinglong knew how powerful the poison he had been poisoned was. His whole body was as stiff as wood, and he was so numb that he was almost unconscious.

Although the middle-aged man said that there was an antidote in the small porcelain bottle, he dared to say so, but Jiang Qinglong didn't dare to believe it.

What if the antidote in the porcelain bottle was just a smoke bomb thrown by the middle-aged man to fool him, and it was actually impossible to detoxify it at all?

Burning bridges is not a problem at all for a middle-aged man who can poison others and have no moral concerns at all!

Especially since the middle-aged man seemed to have a rift with Chu Longtu, it was even more natural to attack Jiang Qinglong, who was ordered by Chu Longtu to come to Lin'an to find Concubine Luo Qing!

And if the antidote is fake, the middle-aged man will have long gone by then. Even if Jiang Qinglong knows that the antidote is fake, he still screams that the sky will not respond and the earth will not work.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life, Jiang Qinglong did not dare to bet on whether the bottle of antidote was the real antidote.

So he decided to use Chu Long Tu's power to deceive the middle-aged man, test the authenticity of the antidote, and see if there were any other ways to quickly detoxify.

The three-hour detoxification time is really too long, with too many uncontrollable variables!
