A silver needle shot out, emitting an almost inaudible, tiny sound.
He Kalinuo was under the shade of a tree, while Qing Muye took a few steps and walked into the sunlight.
Just as He Kalinuo waited for the poisoned needle to hit her, she noticed something in the sunlight flash a barely perceptible cold glint.
As she was surprised, she saw Qing Muye halt his steps, standing rigidly in place.
"What... what's happening?"
He Kalinuo was stunned. The previously weak woman immediately sat up straight.
Looking down at the hidden weapon in her hand, then at Qing Muye, she shook her head, "No, it's not. I clearly... I clearly aimed at myself."
Qing Muye felt a sharp pain in his back and turned around in disbelief, walking towards He Kalinuo.
"It wasn't me, I really fired it at myself, I wasn't lying to you..."
He Kalinuo panicked. She hadn't expected this situation either.
Perhaps the poison on the hidden weapon took effect slowly. Qing Muye only felt his body go numb but could still support himself. He bent down and snatched the watch from He Kalinuo's hand.
Examining the watch in his hand, he aimed the watch's needle hole to the left and the button to the right, and gently pressed the button.
With a "whoosh," a silver needle shot out.
And the发射口 was a small hole next to the button.
That hole was the slot for installing the eSIM!
Qing Muye's eyes narrowed, his face as dark as ink, and his entire being was enveloped in a layer of chilling coldness, terrifyingly frigid.
He Kalinuo clearly saw the hand holding the watch tremble. The next moment, he crashed to the ground with a bang.
"Master?... Qing Muye? Master, how... how are you?"
The sudden turn of events truly frightened He Kalinuo.
From the moment she fired the poisoned needle to Qing Muye collapsing, less than a minute had passed.
The poison was terrifyingly fast.
He Kalinuo completely panicked. She immediately rummaged through her backpack, found a special whistle, and blew it hard.
The whistle emitted a bird's cry, making it difficult to detect anything unusual.
At the same time, she took out a flare and fired it directly.
The flare was red, and when it was fired, it shot out a red smoke that floated in the air for a long time without dissipating.
Three minutes later, she fired another flare.
Five minutes later, a helicopter appeared with a rumbling sound on the mountaintop. The rotor blades whipped up a strong wind, rustling the leaves on the peak.
After precisely locating the target, the helicopter hovered in the air and dropped a rope ladder.
The people on the helicopter descended the rope ladder and took both Qing Muye and He Kalinuo away.
However, all of this was witnessed by Meng Jingwei from kilometers away on the mountainside.
Standing on the mountainside, she could see everything that happened not far away.
She only saw a helicopter fly over and then fly back within a short two minutes.
However, due to the extreme distance, she couldn't clearly see who was on the helicopter.
But...
"Could it be He Kalinuo?" Meng Jingwei guessed. "If it's not her, it's highly likely to be the First Prince, He Kaiyan."
Although they had publicly signed a life-and-death contract during the competition, as royalty of the Hidden Clan, they still had privileges.
"They must be in mortal danger, otherwise, they wouldn't openly use a helicopter under such circumstances," Xiao Cheng analyzed the situation beside her.
Meng Jingwei nodded, "It should be."
Besides this, Meng Jingwei couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Sigh..."
She sighed deeply, gazing into the distance, wondering where Qing Muye was.
How much longer would it take to find him?
