After my epilepsy, the entire entertainment industry shunned me like a snake or a scorpion.

For some reason, Meng Xiang felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Unconsciously, she swallowed her saliva and felt a little thirsty in her mouth, but she did not rush to touch the water placed in front of her. Instead, she raised her head with some difficulty and looked in the direction of the mute based on her feeling.

In the darkness, the mute almost blended in with the surrounding environment.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Several times before, the mute had never stood beside him and stared at him like this.

Meng Xiang felt uncomfortable all over. She probably understood that the mute was forcing her to drink water. If she didn't drink, he might not leave.

So she moved her body pretending to be obedient, and slowly moved to the front. Her hands were tied, but there was a certain space for movement. It was still possible to drink water, but it was a bit difficult and the movements were not very elegant.

But in the face of life and death, this is not a big problem.

Perhaps she was born with a sharper sense of smell than other people. In addition, under certain circumstances, the fear of the unknown in her heart magnified her senses infinitely. She smelled a faint smell of medicinal powder at the mouth of the bottle.

What's added here?

poison?

Or is it--

In order to confirm whether his suspicion was true, Meng Xiang took two sips of the water placed in front of him in front of the mute.

Seeing that she drank the water, the mute seemed to be relieved. To make sure that she had really swallowed it, he even walked over directly, reached out and pinched Meng Xiang's face forcefully, forcing her to open her mouth to check.

The mute's hand was very strong, and Meng Xiang's squeeze was so painful that he couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

She was forced to look at each other with the mute, and with just one glance, Meng Xiang was stunned.

If nothing else, just the eyes that were exposed all over the mute gave her an extraordinarily familiar feeling.

The man and his brother-in-law have similar eye shapes, even their eyebrows are similar.

It's very similar.

She later understood why she didn't have much fear in her heart when she saw the mute for the first time. Instead, she was more curious about him.

It turns out the problem lies here.

Because the mute's features and appearance were very similar to her brother-in-law Meng Shuo, and his height and body shape were also similar, so even if he didn't speak or show his face, he looked very similar just by standing there.

It was precisely because of this illusion that she mistakenly thought that the mute felt very kind to her.

Perhaps her gaze was too eager, or perhaps her eyes were too naked. After discovering that Meng Xiang had been staring at her, the mute lowered his eyes to avoid looking directly at her.

"Mute, what is your name? How should you call me? If you can't speak, you can always write, right?"

Seeing that she really drank, the other party quickly turned around and left without leaving any other information for her.

boom!

The door was closed again.

Meng Xiang arched his waist and spit out the mouthful of water that had been pressed on the back of his tongue, but he still swallowed a lot.

She stared at the direction the man was leaving in a daze. For some reason, she always felt that the man was a little angry?

It must be my own illusion.

Meng Xiang wasn't worried that what he just drank might be some kind of intestinal poison, he was just afraid it might be sleeping pills or something like that.

She guessed that someone must have checked here, just in case, the other party wanted to move her position, but they were afraid that she would find something when she was awake, so they had to faint herself.

Meng Xiang took advantage of the trick and drank the water to dispel his doubts, and then spit out some of it while the other person was away to reduce the effect of the medicine and prevent him from being completely unconscious later and delaying things.

As the medicine took effect, she felt as if her eyelids were worth a thousand dollars. Even if she forced herself to open her eyes, she still couldn't resist the powerful effects of the medicine.

After a while, sleepiness swept over his body. Meng Xiang tilted his head and fainted completely.

As for Yin Jiu and the others, Shensheng and his men turned the hall upside down, and finally found a tunnel under the red carpeted steps at the stairway.

Not only that, several people also found a small sparkling diamond next to the carpet.

Meng Shuo recognized it at a glance. It was the broken diamond on Meng Xiang's hairpin.

The woman's intuition told Yin Jiu that there must be something inside.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yi and the others will lead the team, and everyone will go down together.

The basement illuminated by more than a dozen flashlights was as bright as day, and the situation in front of him could be seen clearly.

Different from the narrow and dusty tunnel just now, this place seems to be cleaned frequently, it is very clean, and there is a voice-activated light at the entrance.

Lu Yi, who was leading the way, looked at the unknown basement and took every step carefully, fearing that there might be some mechanism nearby.

To be on the safe side, he even took out the gun in his pocket for self-defense.

Seeing this, Meng Shuo couldn't help but sneered at Yin Jiu, and said angrily: "Miss Yin, you don't have to give in too much."

He laughed softly, and his slightly wild laughter echoed in the corridor.

"Illegal possession of firearms. If someone knows about it, how many years will it take?"

Meng Shuo simply turned around and asked Yin Jiu. Yin Jiu smiled back at him with a polite and distant smile.

"I'm not doing this illegally."

Meng Shuo felt a little funny. He didn't expect that someone would be so blatant in saying that it was not illegal to possess firearms privately in Beicheng, so he couldn't help but ask more.

"That is?"

Yin Jiu didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, pretending to be indifferent, but his voice was sonorous and powerful:

"I'm breaking the law."

Meng Shuo: "..."

It's really nerve-wracking.

After just a few words of conversation, Meng Shuo didn't know how to answer or argue.

His lips moved in a whimper twice, and finally his lips touched up and down, and he decided to shut up.

Others looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Lu Yi silently praised Yin Jiu in his heart.

This wave was done beautifully, using magic directly to defeat magic.

"You are really sincere."

This sentence was quite sarcastic, but it didn't matter. Yin Jiu would reply. She raised her head and looked innocent, and asked sincerely:

"Then why should I be as fake as you?"

Meng Shuo didn't know why, but he could see a bit of his niece in Yin Jiu. Meng Xiang also liked to argue with him like this before.

"Tell me, where am I lying?"

Now, it was Yin Jiu's turn to be speechless.

How false...

How on earth did he have the nerve to ask?

Just that incident in the Beicheng bar was enough to make her blacklist Meng Shuo in her heart for the rest of her life. How could he have the nerve to ask such a question now?

"Meng Shuo, no matter how modest and polite you pretend to be, it won't change how despicable you are at heart."

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Yin Jiu simply vomited out what was on his mind.

Shen Sheng was a little surprised as to why this woman was so malicious towards her boss, and even spoke in an aggressive manner with a gun and a stick.
