Chapter 1287: Unexpected Surprise

"Do you know where the third map is? Speak!" Several people, as if injected with chicken blood, took turns interrogating Wan'er.

This was an unexpected gain, a heaven-sent surprise.

The original plan was to kidnap Wan'er to force Shi Youxuan to reveal the location of the map, but they never expected to reap such an unexpected surprise.

Shi Youxuan did not know, but Jin Wan'er did.

"I don't know... I don't know..."

She murmured in a low voice: "Let me sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy."

Zhu Qingrui fed her high-potency sleeping pills, but would not allow her to sleep!

Sleeping wasn't impossible, but she had to reveal where the map was first.

When the time came, not only would he let her have a wonderful sleep, but he could also send her home safely.

Jin Wan'er wouldn't say a word, gritting her teeth and refusing to utter a single syllable!

Having exposed that she knew the whereabouts of the third map, she already felt very self-reproachful.

This self-reproach made Wan'er heighten her vigilance, and she was not so easily fooled again.

She had heightened her vigilance, but the enemy was even more cunning.

They put high-potency sleeping pills in the water she drank, yet repeatedly splashed cold water on her face and used high-intensity lights to keep her awake, refusing to let her sleep.

Using this method to force a confession was no different from "exhausting the hawk"!

Wan'er's consciousness began to scatter, her vigilance gradually blurring; she was too sleepy, and when she was dazed, her nerves could not concentrate, and finally, the truth was tricked out of her.

"The map is on my back."

After saying this, she fell asleep, and this time no one forced her awake again.

Black Widow checked Wan'er's back, but the skin was smooth and fair—there was nothing there!

Hearing Black Widow's report, Zhu Qingrui smiled slightly: "Have you ever heard of a certain medicinal bath? You put a special medicinal liquid into a bathtub and soak in it for two hours, and it can make a tattoo on the body disappear."

"But it doesn't disappear permanently; it's just hidden. When needed, you just need to soak in the antidote for another two hours, and the tattoo will reappear."

Black Widow was both happy and worried.

What made her happy was that Zhu Qingrui knew the answer, but what worried her was where to get the antidote.

Zhu Qingrui: "I have it."

The Zhu Family was adept at using these strange things; this kind of medicine was nothing in Zhu Qingrui's eyes, as it could be concocted with just a few simple medicinal herbs!

The herbs needed to be bought.

Who would go became a problem; the dwarf had already been exposed in front of Shi Youxuan, and with her intelligence, it was impossible for her not to realize they were in cahoots.

The dwarf could no longer show his face, and Zhu Qingrui even less so; no matter where Black Widow went, she was the focus of the crowd—not only was she beautiful, but she had a fatal attraction to men, and even with a disguise, she couldn't hide it.

The big guy was too bulky, even more conspicuous than the dwarf and Black Widow.

Zhu Qingrui now began to regret; he regretted showing off for a moment and deliberately staying at the Sheng Family's hotel!

The computer genius volunteered: "I'll go buy it. As long as I'm careful when I go out, there won't be any problems."

He was of average height and appearance, the kind you couldn't find in a crowd, so he was indeed the most suitable candidate.

The computer genius put on a baseball cap and a mask, pulled the brim low, and went out.

Sure enough, he didn't attract anyone's attention along the way; he successfully walked into the pharmacy, successfully bought the few herbs Zhu Qingrui wanted, and then successfully came out without discovering anyone following him.

But he noticed that the streets were different from the past few days.

On the surface, there wasn't much difference, but there were clearly many more police patrolling the streets.

When he went back, he didn't dare to go straight back, but circled twice, and only after confirming there were no problems did he dare to return.

"Vice President, the streets are not peaceful."

"Hmm, Shi Youxuan must have called the police; it's as I expected."

Upon learning that the police outside were looking for them, he decided to speed up and leave Jiangzhou quickly.

This place was ominous.

Except for his mother, who was killed by that old hag Ji Yingjie at the Ji Family, all other members of the Zhu Family had died in Jiangzhou.

He didn't want to die in Jiangzhou himself.

The medicinal herbs were boiled and poured into the bathtub, and Wan'er was soaked in; she slept very soundly, completely unaware of what had happened.

The pattern on her back faintly emerged.

Black Widow said with pleasant surprise: "Great, the map to the Treasure has finally been found."

She drew her Dagger, and Zhu Qingrui grabbed her wrist: "What are you doing?"

Black Widow: "Peeling her skin, of course." She answered as if it were a matter of course.

"No."

He decisively refused: "Our situation in Jiangzhou is already very dangerous; don't bring unnecessary trouble upon ourselves. Remember, we only seek wealth, not lives."

"Tch! As if you were a good person." Black Widow sneered, looking down on him, but she still put the Dagger away.

Zhu Qingrui took out his phone, aimed it at the map to take a picture, and then had the big guy fish her out and put her on the bed.

Just as Black Widow didn't understand him, he likewise couldn't understand Black Widow; why go through the time and effort to cut someone's skin when the matter could be solved by taking a picture?

It was just getting dark.

Wan'er hadn't woken up yet, and the group set off.

A rented Volkswagen Passat sped westward, driving toward the suburbs!

Marsh.

It used to be desolate and uninhabited, but now it had become a tourist attraction!

It was bustling with activity, with tourists like weaving threads.

But that bustle belonged to the daytime; now it was closing time, and the tourists had all gone back.

The geographical location of the Swamp is unique; one cannot build towers, or even houses.

Therefore, once it gets dark, there is not a single person here.

Zhu Qingrui looked at the boundless Swamp before him, his mood very complicated.

That old hag Ji Yingjie is truly cunning; it turns out the location where she hid the Treasure is still here!

It is just a bit further away from the original spot; that area belongs to a place that has not yet been developed, and it remains undeveloped because water bubbles up from underground and the environment is complex.

Yet, she forcefully constructed an Underwater World similar to an aquarium all around the bubbling water.

To create such a project in a Swamp can be called a miracle.

This technology is at the forefront of the world.

After finishing his exclamation, Zhu Qingrui prepared to enter.

……

At the same time.

The police finally found Wan'er's location through technical means.

"Bang!"

The main door was kicked open; the living room was empty, and the police soon found Wan'er fast asleep in the bedroom.

Her clothes were disheveled, but only her back was exposed.

The map on her back had already dried due to water stains and had disappeared once again.

"Wan'er, Wan'er..."

Jian Yining grabbed his wife in an embrace, calling her desperately.

"So sleepy, don't make noise."

She barely managed to open her eyelids, and seeing her husband holding her, she did not even realize she had been rescued.

Intense sleepiness still controlled her; she only wanted to continue sleeping and did not want to be disturbed.

Jian Yining picked up his wife and sent her to the hospital.

Zhu Qingrui and his accomplices were not found at the scene, but various signs indicated that they had not been gone for long.

The police set up a dragnet nearby, waiting for them to return.

……

Marsh.

Following the pieced-together map, Zhu Qingrui found the entrance and took two pendants from his neck.

These two pendants were both obtained from Shi Youxuan; on the surface, they looked exactly the same, with no difference whatsoever!
