I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 224 Interrogation

Xin Youran was not the only one who didn’t sleep all night.

Late at night, Mu Yuan had unknowingly arrived at the edge of Cuiyue Lake. What was rare was that there was a full moon tonight, and he looked at the full moon reflected on the lake.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. How did he offend Xin Youran?

She was always smiling and I never saw her angry.

The better your mood, the more you talk.

Like a little sun, I always feel warm as long as she is around.

"Jiemie, why do you think someone suddenly loses their temper with you?"

Jiemie, who was dozing off in the dark, casually replied, "Of course that person provoked him."

As soon as he finished speaking, my mind finally came to its senses. I really wanted to slap myself in the face. What did he just say?

Is the problem with him?

Mu Yuan thought about almost all the details of their relationship, but he really couldn't figure out what he did wrong.

He knew very well that the Ice Soul Poison in his body had been cured. The reason he did not ask Doctor Qin to tell Xin Youran in advance was that he wanted to see her every day.

But she always said that after she helped him detoxify, they would owe each other nothing and would never have any contact with each other again until they died.

He is scared...

Later, when I heard that she was going to work with him, I was so happy.

His original plan was to take the initiative to discuss cooperation with her. In fact, he already had a comprehensive plan and did not need the help of Xin Youran and others.

But this was the only reason that could connect her closely with him...

Unexpectedly, she actually took the initiative to propose cooperation today. This is such a pleasant surprise!

But no matter how angry she is, as long as I can see her, there is a chance, right?

After figuring it out, Mu Yuan was surprised to realize that it was already dawn in the east and he had been standing by the lake for so long.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so nosy. It's getting late and the dew is heavy. You could easily catch a cold..."

When His Highness is thinking about a problem, he doesn't like to be interrupted. Jiemie has never dared to speak, but if this goes on, even the strongest body can't bear it.

"Is there any news from Zhou Xu?"

"Your Highness, not yet..."

Zhou Xu fled to the clinic and had already made arrangements. He had people waiting there. If the assassin appeared again, he would be captured on the spot!

"It's time for news..."

As soon as Mu Yuan finished speaking, Ji Yu rushed back.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the assassin has been captured and is being held in the basement of a private residence. Please see..."

Jiemie quickly said, "Your Highness, you should take a hot bath first, warm up your body, and rest for a while before going..."

"lead the way."

Mu Yuan quickly arrived at the basement of the private residence. The assassin was now tied up on a wooden frame.

Something was stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

"Your Highness, when we caught him, he tried to bite the poison and commit suicide, but was stopped by our men. He must be a death warrior."

Jiyu explained quickly.

The assassin, who was determined to die just now, felt Mu Yuan's murderous aura and turned his head to the side.

"He's a man of integrity."

After hearing this, the assassins were filled with pride, because people like them were worthy of respect.

"Pity……"

The proud face of the assassin froze there.

"Do you know what loyalty means?"

"Simply put, it's about defending justice."

"What is justice?"

The assassin was stumped by this question. You can kill me or chop me up as you please, so why are you asking questions?

How could he, an uneducated man, answer this question?

Mu Yuan was not in a hurry. He asked someone to prepare a chair and a tea table, and then sat opposite the man and slowly sipped his tea.

About a cup of tea later, Jiemie walked in from outside, leaned into Mu Yuan's ear, whispered something, and then handed him something without leaving any trace.

"Bring them in."

Then Jiemie gave a wink to the people below, and the two men were brought up.

"Do you recognize them?"

In fact, when the two men were brought up, Mu Yuan had already noticed that the assassin had a look of shock on his face.

At this time, he still kept silent. This time he was not arrogant. He lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Ji Feng didn't tolerate him. He grabbed his hair and forced the assassin to look up.

"Your Highness is asking you something!"

"Look carefully and answer properly!"

"Hiss, no, I don't know him."

The assassin grimaced in pain but still refused to let go.

Ji Feng then asked the two people who were brought here, "Were you two the ones who ordered him to kill Zhou Xu?"

The two men smiled and flattered, saying repeatedly: "No, no, how could we have such courage?"

"I've never even seen this person."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of it, Mu Yuan put down his teacup and said, "Ji Feng, some people won't cry until their coffin is broken."

Ji Feng quickly understood, "Excuse me, everyone. I know you are determined, so why not try our East Palace specialties?"

It sounded like a question, but the people below had already carried in the torture instruments one by one.

Originally, this cell was only used to hold ordinary prisoners, but they refused to accept my toast, so torture was the only option.

The assassin was well-trained after all, and even after being tortured three or two times, he still kept his mouth shut.

The two men were delicate and tender-skinned, and one of them confessed in a screaming voice before he even finished.

"We two brothers, we just do things for money, that's all..."

At this time, their skin was already torn and their clothes were stained with blood. They were in so much pain that they could not speak clearly.

"Oh? Whose money are you taking? Whose business are you doing?"

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitant, Ji Feng gave them a look, and they were so scared that they quickly knelt down in front of Mu Yuan.

"Your Highness, spare my life, Your Highness!"

"If you tell me, both my brothers will die!"

"We have elderly parents and young children..."

After a while, seeing that Mu Yuan was still unmoved, he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was decisive and ruthless. Today, he finally saw that he was a soft knife...

"I say, I say, our cousin works in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and occasionally has some small favors, so we two brothers can help him."

"You call hiring someone to kill someone a favor?"

Ji Feng continued to ask: "Is it the person you hired who wanted him to kill Zhou Xu?"

"Yes……"

They saw that if they didn't tell the truth, they would die here.

"They both have confessed and signed their names. What about you?"

The assassin, who had been standing still, still refused to speak.

When Mu Yuan saw this, he raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were filled with laughter. This guy was really a blockhead. It was a pity that he died like this.

If used in the right way, he would be a good subordinate.

So he stood up, straightened his robe, and walked step by step to the assassin.

Not at all bothered by the bloody smell on his body, she took out the jade pendant in her hand and asked, "Do you still recognize this thing?"
