Chapter 771: When Collusion Meets a Fox

Later, Zhu Yiwen changed his tactics and had her go undercover in the Wind Clan.

……

"Ding-dong—"

A crisp sound rang out.

This was Zhu Yiwen's exclusive ringtone.

Shi Yuke pulled back her thoughts and opened her computer: "Head of the Family, do you have any instructions?"

"Have you asked for the location of the Treasure yet?"

Shi Yuke's face showed shame: "I'm sorry, Head of the Family, your subordinate is useless. I've exhausted every method, but I still can't pry open those people's teeth."

Zhu Yiwen didn't get angry; it was normal that they hadn't been pried open.

If it could be asked so easily, he wouldn't dare believe it!

Zhu Yiwen didn't blame her, but instead comforted her: "It's fine, don't be in a rush for this kind of thing. Take it slow. I believe in your ability to get it done. Tomorrow, do this..."

Having received Zhu Yiwen's instructions, Shi Yuke was very happy and sent people to the Dungeon that same evening.

"Nianci, come out. The Clan Leader has ordered for Nianci to be killed."

The two of them shielded Nianci in the middle, not letting her go out.

Nianyin protested: "On what grounds? When did the power of life and death over our Ji Family Elders ever become something for an outsider like her to decide?"

"She says kill, so we kill? No way. That woman's word doesn't count."

"Bold! This was ordered by the Clan Leader. What outsider? Don't talk nonsense." Nianyin was scolded.

"If you want to touch a single hair on Nianci's head, you'll have to step over my dead body." Nianyin blocked the way in front.

Shi Youxuan also stepped forward: "And me too."

Shi Youxuan and Nianyin stood together.

With these two blocking the way, the guards couldn't do anything to Nianci, and everyone reached a stalemate for a while.

Movement came from outside; Han Yao had arrived.

"Tsk tsk, you two really have deep sisterly affection. I admire it, I truly do."

Han Yao had the others leave. With only the few of them in the Dungeon, she began to set conditions: "It's not impossible for you two to let her live. Just tell me the address of the Treasure, how about it? It's very simple, right?"

Shi Youxuan: "Isn't it just money you want? Give me the account number, and I'll wire over however much you want."

Han Yao was disdainful: "I don't want your money. Stop being so conceited. You should keep that little bit of money for yourself. Compared to the Ji Family Treasure, what is your money? I don't care for it at all." It wasn't that she didn't care for it, but that Zhu Yiwen didn't care for it.

She actually cared for it quite a bit. Although she spoke in a very cold and aloof manner, in her heart, she had already made up her mind that once she pried the secret of the Treasure out, she would incidentally make Shi Youxuan go bankrupt as her next step.

Who told her to deliver herself to the door?

Her wishful thinking hadn't even finished when Shi Youxuan said: "Even if I tell you the address of the Treasure, you won't be able to retrieve it. Don't waste your effort."

A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "That's no need for you to worry about. You just tell me the address; you don't need to worry about anything else."

"Young Lady, you cannot say it."

Nianci shouted, then suddenly slammed her head hard against the wall. Nianyin grabbed her in time, so there was no life-threatening danger, but her head was still broken open, and blood flowed like a fountain.

A situation suddenly arose, and Han Yao was so angry she wished she could kill her herself.

But she couldn't let Nianci die now.

"Quick, find a doctor and bring them here." She ordered the guards loudly.

It was just the death of a former Clan Leader's Guard; she naturally didn't care. What she cared about was that if Nianci died, the secret of the Ji Family Treasure would likely remain a secret forever.

"Young Lady, you cannot say it. That is the lifeblood of so many generations of the Ji Family; it cannot be destroyed in our hands." Nianci struggled, still wanting to seek death.

Shi Youxuan shouted at Nianci: "Then do you want me to just watch you die in front of me? No matter how important money is, it's not as important as people. If money is gone, it can be earned again, but if a person is gone, then there really is nothing left..."

Nianyin was very conflicted.

She didn't know who to persuade.

If she and Nianci were to swap places, she would also make the same choice as Nianci without hesitation!

But Nianci was her sister, and she naturally hoped Nianci would live.

The expressions of the three were all seen by Han Yao. The more conflicted they were and the more fiercely they argued, the more triumphant she felt!

In the end, Shi Youxuan still had the upper hand.

Shi Youxuan waved her hand and made a decision: "Alright, stop arguing with me. I am the Young Lady of the Ji Family; I have the final say in this matter."

She said to Han Yao: "I want to talk to you alone."

"Fine."

……

The two were in a separate room.

Han Yao: "It's a matter of one sentence. Is there any point in you dragging it out like this? Tell me, where is the Treasure?"

Shi Youxuan: "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to get it. The Treasure is not in the Ji Family; it's in a place very, very far away."

Han Yao: ……

She felt that Shi Youxuan was just wearing down her patience. If it weren't for the fact that that person was waiting for the secret of the Treasure, she would really want to kill Shi Youxuan immediately.

Nothing good ever happened whenever she encountered this woman.

Shi Youxuan seemed to be her nemesis in life, born to go against her.

"Who are you trying to fool? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's easy to trick? Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

All of Han Yao's patience was worn thin. She began to become irritable and short-tempered, threatening to kill Shi Youxuan immediately.

She lowered her head, putting on a very frightened appearance.

Han Yao didn't notice the undisguised disappointment in her eyes.

Originally, she was testing this woman, wanting to give her one more chance!

This woman is the only blood relative of my foster father and the biological mother of Moli; if she still had even a shred of kindness, Shi Youxuan would be willing to let her go.

However, Shi Youxuan was disappointed.

This woman was still the same as ever, without a single bit of improvement.

"Shi Youxuan, I have tolerated you for a long time; don't be ungrateful," Han Yao shrieked in a shrill voice.

The more irritable she became, the calmer Shi Youxuan grew.

Han Yao pointed at Shi Youxuan's nose and warned: "Shi Youxuan, I warn you, I am the Clan Leader of the Ji Family now, and you are nothing; it wouldn't take any more effort for me to kill you than it would to crush an ant."

"Be smart and tell me where you hid the Treasure; stop playing tricks in front of me."

Shi Youxuan sighed: "Fine, fine, have it your way."

"I can tell you the address, but even if you know it, you won't be able to retrieve it." She had already said this many times.

All of Han Yao's patience had been completely exhausted, and the little flame of anger in her heart was shooting upward.

She couldn't help but roar: "That's none of your business; tell me immediately, or I will kill you."

A gleaming Dagger was held against Shi Youxuan's neck, flashing with a cold light.

If Shi Youxuan didn't speak now, it was hard to say whether she would actually do it.

"Jiangzhou."

This time, Shi Youxuan didn't stall and said it honestly.

"Jiangzhou is a big place; where in Jiangzhou? Give me a specific location."

"The Marsh."

Han Yao was furious: "Shi Youxuan, you are still being dishonest, playing tricks on me again, aren't you? Where is there a Marsh in Jiangzhou? Don't think that you are the only smart person in the world and everyone else is a fool..."

Shi Youxuan: "Oh? Do you know Jiangzhou very well?"

Han Yao suddenly went silent.

She realized she had said the wrong thing, but it didn't matter; she didn't need to hide anything in front of Shi Youxuan anyway.

Since Shi Youxuan had fallen into her hands this time, she had no intention of letting her leave!

"That's right, I know Jiangzhou very well, and not only do I know Jiangzhou well, I also know you very well."

She said to Shi Youxuan triumphantly: "Shi Youxuan, guess who I am?"

Shi Youxuan played dumb: "Who else could you be? Han Yao, of course."
