Chapter 76 Girl, do you want to be a tainted witness?
The hidden weapon came at an extremely fast speed, but Gu Yu's movements were even faster.
With a flick of his wrist, he caught three hidden weapons, each resembling an embroidery needle, between his fingertips.
Wu Yan was greatly surprised.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Your technique is indeed fast, but how can your 5G speed compare to my 6G hand speed?"
Wu Yan was completely confused.
What do you mean by "five chickens and six chickens"?
I'm still feeling very anxious.
He paused for a moment, then smiled smugly: "Your strength is indeed astonishing, but unfortunately, your experience in the martial world is too poor."
Gu Yu, with a humble expression, said, "Is that so? I'd like to hear more details."
Wu Yan laughed and said, "My needles are coated with a deadly poison. Even a single touch will poison you. In less than half an hour, your hand will be ruined."
Gu Yu looked at the poisoned needle at his fingertip and sighed, "Indeed, it was my oversight."
Wu Yan said smugly, "Fortunately, I have the antidote. But you have to tell me, who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to the Blissful Pavilion?"
"My name is Gu Yu, an unknown nobody. As for why I've come to the Blissful Pavilion..."
At this point, Gu Yu suddenly raised his hand and tossed it away.
"what!"
Wu Yanhua's expression changed, and she let out a short gasp.
Because Gu Yu had returned all three poisoned needles and sealed three acupoints on her body, rendering her unable to move.
Wu Yan broke out in a cold sweat and said urgently, "Quickly, quickly release my pressure points, and I'll give you the antidote."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "No rush. At most, I'll lose one hand. But it's different for you. Once the poison reaches your heart, even a god can't save you."
What's the rush for him?
With three divine skills protecting him and having consumed the Tianshan Snow Toad, what poison in the world could possibly defeat him?
"you……"
Wu Yan was so angry she almost vomited blood.
At this moment, Gu Yu walked to her side, leaning forward, almost touching her proudly erect breasts.
Unable to move, Wu Yan could only stammer, "What...what do you want to do?"
Gu Yu leaned close to her ear and gently blew a breath: "Miss Wuyan, do you want to be a tainted witness?"
About an hour later.
Gu Yu appeared at the stairwell, humming a little tune.
The four men guarding the stairwell looked at each other in bewilderment—when did this person come upstairs?
However, they didn't dare ask, much less take action.
Because Gu Yu did not come downstairs alone; beside him, Wu Yan, like a little bird nestled against her, had disheveled hair and a faint blush on her face.
The four men were all experienced and could tell at a glance what had happened between the two.
Soon after, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou arrived at a deserted passageway.
"here!"
Gu Yu stood outside a room and called out softly.
The three of them entered the room together. Lu Xiaofeng looked around and found the room completely empty, without even a chair.
However, there was a woman who was extremely beautiful.
"This young lady is...?"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "This is Miss Wu Yan."
Wu Yan's eyes flickered, and she blurted out, "Could this be Lu Xiaofeng?"
After all, Lu Xiaofeng's "four eyebrows" are very distinctive, so it's not surprising that she could recognize him.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That's me!"
Gu Yu continued, "Miss Wuyan has reformed and now she will lead us to unravel the secrets of the Paradise Tower."
"Oh?"
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Hua Manlou subconsciously.
At this moment, Wu Yan walked to the left wall, raised her hand, and rhythmically tapped a few bricks.
"boom--"
With a soft sound, a hidden door appeared in the room.
"Come with me!"
Wu Yan stepped through the hidden door and raised her hand.
"Walk!"
Gu Yu also raised his hand and followed Wu Yan into a long corridor.
Despite their many doubts, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were both bold and didn't ask any questions. They silently followed each other into the passageway.
After walking for about a hundred feet, there was no road ahead.
Wu Yan walked to the stone wall at the end, raised her hand and pressed it a few times, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What an ingenious mechanism!"
Wu Yan turned her head and smiled, then stepped into a spacious stone chamber.
Upon entering the stone chamber, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up – because he saw a large stack of brand-new silver notes piled on the table.
Importantly, there was also a printing plate for banknotes on the table.
Although Hua Manlou was blind, his sense of smell was very keen, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the place where counterfeit banknotes are printed?"
Wu Yan nodded: "Yes! All the duplicate banknotes are printed here."
Lu Xiaofeng walked to the table, examined the printing plate carefully, and couldn't help but ask, "Who made this printing plate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yan finally uttered a name: "Yue Qing!"
Hua Manlou was somewhat surprised and blurted out, "Yue Qing? Wasn't it said that he died seven years ago?"
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have figured something out and sighed, "If Yue Qing is not dead, it can only mean that someone deliberately misled us."
Hua Manlou suddenly realized.
Previously, Luo Ma, the head constable of the yamen, told Lu Xiaofeng that Yue Qing died of plague seven years ago and his body had been cremated.
If Yue Qing hadn't died, the truth of the case would be obvious.
Hua Manlou then asked, "Miss Wuyan, could you tell me where Yue Qing is now?"
Wu Yan replied, "Yun Jian Temple!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Luo Ma told me at the time that Yue Qing's body was cremated at Yun Jian Temple."
It's true what they say, the darkest place is under the lamp.
Gu Yu laughed and said, "Then he must have found a substitute. After all, he used the excuse of contracting the plague; who would dare to examine the corpse carefully?"
Hua Manlou said, "We should hurry to Yunjian Temple to find Yue Qing, lest he be silenced."
Wu Yan smiled and said, "Young Master Hua, please don't be in a hurry. This is Yunjian Temple."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, "So, the Blissful Pavilion was built inside the mountain behind the Cloud Temple. That's truly unexpected. And these mechanisms were also designed by Yue Qing?"
Now that things had come to this, Wu Yan had nothing to hide and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
"But why would he help you?"
"Because we've taken his daughter into custody..."
The following morning.
A constable hurried over to Lockhart's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
"What?"
Loma exclaimed in surprise.
Not long after, he hurriedly led more than twenty men to Yunjian Temple.
Upon arriving at Yunjian Temple, Luo Ma sensed something was amiss. There wasn't a single worshipper in the temple, and the monks chanting sutras were nowhere to be seen.
One of the subordinates cautiously asked, "Boss, they didn't set up an ambush, did they?"
Loma scoffed, "So what? Come with me!"
Upon reaching the backyard, Lockhart's expression grew even more somber.
Because he not only saw Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, but also Wu Yan, and another young man he didn't recognize.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Officer Luo arrived quickly enough."
Luo Ma said coldly, "Lu Xiaofeng, what tricks are you playing? Don't forget, your friend Zhu Ting is still in my hands."
This statement is a blatant threat.
Hua Manlou, fanning himself with a folding fan, smiled and said, "Officer Luo, I remember you said that you were the one who cremated Yue Qing's body back then?"
"good!"
"That's strange. How can someone who has been cremated come back to life?"
Loma frowned and said, "Young Master Hua, are you joking?"
"Loma, you beast!"
With a shout, a pale-faced man emerged from the room, accompanied by a young girl...
