Wu Peiqin was startled by her daughter's words.
Seeing that Xiao Wu had already been severely injured, Wu Lingyun still dared to speak to the two of them like this. Wasn't she asking for death?
She wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
After Toscano and Joanna heard these words, their faces were not good. It seemed that Wu Lingyun had hit the nail on the head.
How could the pride of the strong be so easily insulted?
Joanna's face was filled with cold air, and she reprimanded Wu Lingyun, "You dead girl, you don't know how to restrain yourself even when death is imminent. Are you impatient to die?"
The two of them indeed didn't dare to face Chen Jinzhao directly.
For no other reason.
But because they lacked confidence.
Wu Lingyun smiled brilliantly, "You just want to take me away, or poison me, and force my cousin to make a move."
"I'll stand here, you come at me."
"I'll kill you!" Joanna hissed.
The S-class assassin appeared in front of Wu Lingyun the next moment. Although Wu Lingyun had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the opponent's speed. Before she could react, Wu Lingyun was already being strangled by Joanna, almost suffocating.
Wu Lingyun's face turned red due to difficulty breathing.
Joanna said coldly, "You dead girl, your mouth is too sharp. Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
"I believe..."
Wu Lingyun squeezed out a word.
Joanna snorted.
Then she said, "Since you believe, why do you still dare to defy us? I order you to kneel and apologize for what you said, otherwise I will kill you now."
Wu Lingyun replied with a cold laugh.
"Heh heh..."
"What can you do if I don't kneel?"
Joanna's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Then I'll kill you."
Wu Lingyun's smile became even more brilliant, and she said directly, "You don't dare to kill me. If I die, my cousin won't fall into the trap you've set. Of course, I hope you kill me directly, but do you have the guts?"
Joanna's palm secretly exerted force, making Wu Lingyun's breathing increasingly difficult, almost suffocating.
Wu Lingyun's words had touched her sensitive and fragile self-esteem.
Toscano stepped forward and put his hand on Joanna's arm, saying, "Don't really kill her, otherwise our plan will fail. Don't forget the boss's orders."
Joanna naturally knew this.
It was just that Wu Lingyun's mouth was too sharp, making Joanna unable to tolerate it.
Moreover, Wu Lingyun was very tough and never yielded.
Finally.
Joanna eventually let go.
Wu Lingyun said to Wu Peiqin, "Mom, if something happens to me, remember to pass a message to my cousin for me, tell him not to fall into someone else's trap for my sake."
Joanna's face turned cold again, "Why so much nonsense?"
Toscano stopped Joanna again, and said to Wu Lingyun, "Say less. If I hadn't stopped Red Scorpion, you would have been killed by her several times already. You are a smart person, swallow this pill yourself."
After speaking.
Wu Lingyun saw a red pill appear in Toscano's palm.
Wu Peiqin immediately said, "Daughter, don't take this pill. It must be poison!"
"Mom, we have no other choice now. Even if it's poison, we can only swallow it," Wu Lingyun said. Wu Peiqin wanted to step forward and snatch the pill, but Toscano closed his palm, giving Wu Peiqin no chance. Wu Peiqin said anxiously, "If you make me take poison, the effect is the same."
"Mom!" Wu Lingyun was anxious.
Wu Peiqin said, "Wu Lingyun is still a child. Why are you targeting her?"
A cold smile appeared on Joanna's beautiful face, "Of course you can take the poison instead of Wu Lingyun, but we think your value is too low. Your weight in Chen Jinzhao's heart is far less than Wu Lingyun's. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Red Scorpion, stop the nonsense. This is the capital of China, and we can't stay any longer, or China will discover us," Toscano reminded.
Wu Peiqin wanted to step forward to snatch the pill, but was quickly subdued by Joanna.
Toscano pinched Wu Lingyun's mouth with one hand, and the other hand directly stuffed the pill into Wu Lingyun's mouth.
Wu Lingyun was forced to take the poison.
Wu Peiqin instantly broke down and shouted, "What have you done to my daughter? What kind of poison did she just take?"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
But under Joanna's restraint, Wu Peiqin was powerless to resist.
Toscano confirmed that Wu Lingyun had taken the poison and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, it's just a deadly poison. If she doesn't get the antidote within seven days, she will die. But we will give Chen Jinzhao a chance to get the antidote, it depends on whether Chen Jinzhao can seize it."
As the words fell.
Wu Lingyun's head felt dizzy, and then she slowly fell to the ground.
Joanna then released Wu Peiqin. Wu Peiqin ran to Wu Lingyun's side crying, only to find that besides her daughter being unconscious, a small part of the originally blue veins under her skin had turned black, looking extremely terrifying.
"The day her veins all turn black will be the day she dies," Toscano said.
"Since you are going to kill Chen Jinzhao, why don't you go find him directly instead of looking for my daughter? This is unfair to her," Wu Peiqin said crying. Joanna smiled faintly, "You are right, but where is absolute fairness in this world?"
"What you need to pay attention to now is not to let others in the capital know, and not to let Chen Jinzhao make a fuss. I will tell him the location of the antidote in other ways. If Chen Jinzhao dares to tell anyone about this, I guarantee that Chen Jinzhao will absolutely not get the antidote."
Wu Peiqin had already cried herself into tears.
Toscano and Joanna glanced at Wu Lingyun, then turned and left.
As they walked out of the Wu family compound, Toscano sighed faintly, "What Wu Lingyun said is actually true. We fear Chen Jinzhao's power and dare not face this Candle Dragon directly."
Joanna snorted, "This time we have set a trap. I want to see if Chen Jinzhao can still get God's protection."
Toscano curled his lips into a faint smile, "This is the famous Candle Dragon. It's a pity and sad that it has to end this way."
The two left the Wu family compound and disappeared without a trace.
Wu family compound.
Wu Peiqin immediately had her family members send Wu Lingyun and Xiao Wu to the hospital for emergency treatment, and at the same time contacted Li Qiutao to tell him what had happened at home. Li Qiutao was furious when he heard this, and immediately put down his work and rushed to the hospital, finally seeing his unconscious daughter at the hospital.
However, he did not see Wu Peiqin and could not contact her.
What he didn't know was that Wu Peiqin had already arrived at Chen Jinzhao's doorstep, her entire body like a clay sculpture, her eyes vacant and listless.
