"Guest... Sir... I don't know what you are talking about? Let go, I can't breathe."
The middle-aged woman's feet were off the ground, her face flushed, and her body kept struggling, but to no avail.
In Chase Lu's hands, she was like a fragile chicken that could die at any time.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
Shi Hao frowned, a little confused.
Taking action against an innocent civilian is not what a righteous person would do.
"Lu Chen! Are you crazy? People kindly gave us candles, but you actually hurt them. Do you have any humanity left?!"
Seeing this, Xue Feng immediately reprimanded him, looking filled with indignation.
On the other hand, Qiao Yi was drinking wine leisurely, like an outsider.
As for Li Qingcheng, she looked puzzled but did not speak.
She knew that Lu Chen must have his own reasons for doing this.
"There is something wrong with this person. She wants to harm us."
Lu Chen stared at the middle-aged woman with no intention of letting go.
"Sir, I... I didn't do anything. You must have misunderstood."
The middle-aged woman looked frightened, her voice was hoarse, and she looked weak and helpless.
"Brother Lu, you said she wants to harm us? What evidence is there?" Shi Hao asked.
"That's right! How could she, a country woman, have any bad intentions? I think you are just deliberately looking for trouble!" Xue Feng shouted.
He had long disliked Lu Chen, so he took this opportunity to suppress him.
"The candle she lit is poisonous. If you inhale it for more than three minutes, you will feel dizzy. If you inhale it for more than five minutes, you will die. Do you think she has any bad intentions?"
Chase Lu looked back at Xue Feng and asked.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's pupils shrank, and a look of fear flashed across her face.
"Nonsense!"
Xue Feng didn't believe it at all and continued to shout: "It's just two candles, how could it be poisonous? People like you are suspicious by nature!"
"If you think it's not poisonous, you might as well get closer and smell it to see if you die in the end." Lu Chen responded coldly.
"You..." Xue Feng gritted his teeth and wanted to retort, but he didn't dare to risk his life.
The main reason is that Lu Chen's appearance is so determined that it is difficult for people to doubt him.
"This candle is indeed weird."
Shi Hao was very upright and actually walked to the candle and smelled it carefully.
Soon, he felt dizzy, and he was so frightened that he immediately blew out the candles, and at the same time used his true energy to protect himself to prevent the poisonous smoke from spreading.
"Even if the candle is poisonous, it doesn't mean it's the aunt's fault. She might have been taken advantage of." Xue Feng argued bravely.
"It's not her fault, could it be you?" Lu Chen retorted.
"Hey! I'm warning you not to spit on anyone!" Xue Feng's expression changed.
Although he did not poison, he did have the idea of poisoning, and now he is inevitably feeling guilty.
"If it has nothing to do with you, then you'd better shut up and don't stop me from asking questions."
Lu Chen glanced coldly, then turned his attention to the middle-aged woman: "Tell me, who wants to harm us, as long as you speak, I can spare your life."
"Sir, I don't know anything, it's none of my business..."
The middle-aged woman kept shaking her head, pretending to be innocent.
"Why, you think I'm so easy to fool?"
Lu Chen suddenly grabbed the middle-aged woman's wrist, turned her palm over, and said coldly: "Look at your own hands. There are thick calluses on your fingers and at the tiger's mouth. They are left by people who hold knives all year round. If you were just a waiter, how could you have such a thick callus?"
As soon as these words came out, the woman's expression finally changed.
She really didn't expect that Chase Lu's powers of observation were so strong. Not only did he immediately notice that the candle was poisonous, but he also easily saw through her disguise.
The guy in front of me is obviously only in his twenties. Why is he more difficult to deal with than an old Jianghu?
"Let me ask you for the last time, who ordered you to assassinate us?"
Lu Chen slowly used his fingers to pinch the middle-aged woman until her face turned purple and she had difficulty breathing.
A fear of death suddenly spread throughout his body.
"I said... I said..."
After struggling for a few seconds, the middle-aged woman finally gave in: "The person who asked me to poison you is..."
Before he finished speaking, a dense burst of wind suddenly sounded outside the window.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
A large number of hidden weapons were shot in from the window.
Like a violent storm, it was a completely indiscriminate attack.
"careful!"
Chase Lu's heart tightened, and he immediately let go of the middle-aged woman and turned around to block Li Qingcheng.
His body was shaken, and a shield of true energy appeared out of thin air, isolating all hidden weapons.
But soon, Chase Lu realized something was wrong.
Looking back, I found that the middle-aged woman had been shot with a concealed weapon and died on the spot.
It was obvious that the hidden weapon just now was not aimed at him, but to kill people and silence them.
This shows that the other party is well prepared.
"It seems that tonight's power outage was deliberately caused by someone."
Shi Hao said in a solemn tone: "Fortunately, Brother Lu found out in time, otherwise our lives would be in danger."
"We just entered the village and we didn't offend anyone. Who is so cruel?" Xue Feng's face looked a little ugly.
Those hidden weapons just now were poisonous. If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have died.
"There are two possibilities, either there is someone with evil intentions and intends to kill people and get goods; or there is someone who is deliberately retaliating."
Shi Hao glanced at Lu Chen and reminded: "Brother Lu, you have offended the strict prohibition of Youlong Sect. You must be careful in the future. What happened tonight may have something to do with him."
"I'll pay attention." Lu Chen nodded.
Whether it was the strict prohibition imposed by Youlong Sect or Ye Xin of Feixue Sect, he didn't take it seriously.
But if these people insist on messing around and doing all kinds of mischief, he doesn't mind killing them directly.
"Captain Xue, I have a bottle of antidote pill here. Just in case, you have all our people take one."
Li Qingcheng took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Xue Feng.
"no problem."
Xue Feng responded and left quickly.
Sure enough, as Li Qingcheng expected, everyone who lit a candle in the room was poisoned.
Those who poisoned them, this is to kill them completely!
