In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 216: Half a Stick of Incense

This truly infuriated Jin Yong to no end. "It seems Miracle Doctor Gongsun won’t stop until he gets what he wants. Then you ask him yourself."

Faced with such a rogue, he really had no other choice.

Seeing that Jin Yong would no longer interfere, Gongsun Xing lifted his teacup and took a sip before saying, "You have half a stick of incense left. You can choose to say everything in one breath or speak slowly. Either way, I have plenty of time."

Who would have thought that encountering something like this on a rainy day could be so interesting, especially that person’s terrified expression, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

Of course, that was on the premise that this fellow had taken part in bullying their Yue Mingxuan.

With his life held firmly in someone else’s hands, Yang Xiao was so frightened that he nearly wet himself.

Before Gongsun Xing had even finished speaking, he hurriedly blurted out, "This lowly one is a member of the Imperial Guards. One day, a masked man came to me and gave me five hundred taels of gold, asking me to transport a barrel out of the palace. I thought it was just a barrel and nothing serious, so I carried it out. Other than that, I really don’t know anything else, I really don’t!"

Gongsun Xing glanced at Yang Xiao and, seeing that his expression did not seem fake, he pressed on with another question. "Then where did you deliver that wooden barrel?"

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "They only asked me to send it outside the city, where others came to receive it. I only saw them head off in the southwest direction outside the city."

Seeing that he had more or less confessed everything, Gongsun Xing casually pierced one of his acupoints with a silver needle.

Yang Xiao’s eyes rolled back and he immediately fainted.

Seeing this, Jin Yong said angrily, "He clearly told you everything. Why didn’t you spare his life?"

Gongsun Xing rolled his eyes at him and said, "When have you ever heard of me, Gongsun Xing, failing to save someone, or personally killing anyone?"

Jin Yong asked in confusion, "Then what about just now?"

"Hmm, just now?" A trace of amusement appeared on Gongsun Xing’s face as he looked at Jin Yong with a hint of disdain. "That whole ’a quarter of an hour left to live’ thing, I said it on purpose to scare you."

They had ruined his mood for enjoying the rain, so giving them a fright was already letting them off far too easily.

It was obvious that Gongsun Xing’s words had achieved an even better effect than expected. Hearing this, Jin Yong was so furious he almost couldn’t stop himself from punching Gongsun Xing in the face.

Suppressing the urge to burst out laughing, Gongsun Xing gently rotated his teacup.

Jin Yong knew this gesture well, it was a clear signal of being sent off.

While gritting his teeth in anger, he grabbed Yang Xiao and stormed out.

At this moment, a warm and gentle voice sounded inside the room. "You were a bit too lenient." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The bed curtains were drawn open.

Wang Jian lay there with his upper body bare, his face still carrying the lazy languor of someone who had just woken up.

Gongsun Xing nodded and said, "They’re Shang Qinghua’s people. I held back a little."

If Yue Mingxuan really ended up paired with that fellow, wouldn’t it be awkward later?

Wang Jian let out a soft laugh, but there was a trace of restrained irritation in his voice.

"The Gongsun Xing I know isn’t someone like this."

Hearing that Wang Jian was displeased, Gongsun Xing quickly said, "Isn’t it because i have proper matters to attend to?"

Gongsun Xing’s words completely set him off.

"What proper matters? Saving Yue Mingxuan is what you call proper matters?"

Seeing Wang Jian lose his temper, Gongsun Xing took two quick steps forward and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Are you jealous?"

Wang Jian’s expression at this moment looked exactly like a child throwing a tantrum. "Jealous of what? I wouldn’t go that far."

Gongsun Xing’s voice softened a little. "Wang Jian, the reason I value Yue Mingxuan isn’t just because of his medical skills. It’s also because he may be closely connected to my father’s possible revival. This is very important to me. I hope you can understand."

Wang Jian hadn’t truly been angry to begin with.

If there was any anger, it was more the irritation of being woken up.

After hearing Gongsun Xing explain so gently, most of his anger had already dissipated. "I only said one sentence, and you made it sound so serious. I’m not talking to you anymore."

After an entire hour without receiving the the information that was supposed to deliver, Shang Qinghua grew restless.

He stared at the pile of reports stacked before him, yet no matter what, he couldn’t calm his mind enough to analyze them.

At that moment, Jin Yong’s voice sounded from outside the door. "Master, Yong requests an audience."

"Come in." There was a barely perceptible urgency in Shang Qinghua’s voice.

After Jin Yong entered while carrying Yang Xiao, he immediately knelt down. "This subordinate is incompetent and allowed the target to be injured. Please punish me, Master."

Shang Qinghua glanced at the man curled up on the ground, then at Jin Yong kneeling before him, and waved his hand. "Get up... Did you find out anything of substance?"

The man on the ground was barely clinging to life, his complexion bluish purple.

At a glance, it was clear he had been poisoned with a potent toxin and then forcibly stimulated with internal energy and golden needles to detoxify him.

One look was enough to tell that this was Gongsun Xing’s method.

Since Gongsun Xing had been willing to intervene, there was no way he would have failed to extract the necessary information.
