Chapter 196 He was arrested
Song Ruyu opened her eyes in confusion.
The brain is not fully awake yet.
But the warm touch and familiar scent on her lips made her subconsciously reach out and hug the other person's neck, deepening the kiss and trying to draw more warmth and a sense of security.
But the next second, her remaining rationality and a strong premonition jolted her awake!
She turned her face away.
My gaze met those blue eyes, brimming with tears and filled with disbelief and immense grievance, from the corner of the wall not far away.
Lan Xinlan: (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
Song Ruyu: "(ºДº*)"
That's it! The egg is dead!
This thought exploded in Song Ruyu's mind like a thunderbolt!
As if she had been burned, she shoved away Jiang Ling, who was still focused on "saliva transfer for detoxification," and scrambled to Lan Xinlan's side.
She grasped her small, trembling, cold hand firmly, her voice urgent:
"Alan! No, it's not what you think! We...we just...he was..."
"You like my Ah Ling too, right?"
Lan Xinlan interrupted her incoherent explanation.
She looked up, her face still wet with tears, but managed a smile that was more painful than crying. Her voice was low, carrying a calm that followed heartbreak:
"Alan noticed... If you didn't like him, you wouldn't have reacted like that just now, that... reaction of someone who deeply loves him."
"I...I didn't...I didn't..."
Song Ruyu opened her mouth, but found that all her explanations were pale and powerless.
Before Alan's tearful eyes, which seemed to see right through people, any attempt at concealment seemed laughable. She
He lowered his head dejectedly, acquiescing to the situation.
"so……"
Lan Xinlan's voice became even softer, as if it might dissipate into the air at any moment, carrying a deep sense of self-loathing and a resigned sorrow.
"Has Alan watched once again... as someone else... cruelly snatched him away?"
Just as the air in the room froze into ice because of this silent acknowledgment, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
Jiang Ling walked over and said helplessly, "Silly Alan, what are you saying?"
"You know my saliva can treat neurotoxins, so what's this talk about taking it away? We're just normal colleagues."
"Huh?" Lan Xinlan was taken aback.
Jiang Ling flicked her forehead with her index finger: "Silly Alan, you didn't even know you were poisoned. Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise it wouldn't have been as bad as your Holy Saliva."
After saying that, he glanced down and said, "We might have to rely on..."
"Eh...Eh...So...were you just detoxifying? But...why were you hugging so...so..."
"Look here," Jiang Ling said, pointing to the red marks on her neck. "These were the marks I got when I was detoxifying you. This neurotoxin has an aphrodisiac effect."
"So, her behavior just now was normal, after all, Ayu is a girl too."
Jiang Ling, standing on the moral high ground, sighed: "Are you suggesting I stand by and watch her die?"
Lan Xinlan was speechless for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought Ayu and Aling really had some special relationship..."
"It's just an antidote, then, then it's alright. I'm sorry, Alan was overthinking it."
"It's nothing," Jiang Ling said, kissing her forehead, which made Alan's cheeks flush red. He walked to the ventilation duct and sniffed it.
"How exactly did you get exposed? Logically speaking, we entered the island illegally, without taking a ferry or registering our information..."
"Exposed...?"
Song Ruyu recalled when the old woman asked for her ferry ticket, and immediately replied:
"When we booked the hotel, the elderly lady at the front desk asked us if we had ferry tickets. At the time, I didn't think much of it and just..."
Clearly, a small mistake alerted the Inu Church, which controlled the entire Wakkanai region, that rats had infiltrated the island.
"I understand." Jiang Ling stroked his chin. "The nerve paralyzing agent they released wasn't lethal. I have a guess: they might want to capture you for interrogation."
"Since it's an interrogation, we'll definitely have to go to their church or base or something like that."
"Why don't we..." Jiang Ling said with a smile, "go against their plan."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xinlan's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly replied:
"Ah Ling, do you mean that Ah Yu and I should continue to pretend to be unconscious, and then let them arrest us, so that we can follow the clues and find their hideout?"
"No," Jiang Ling shook her head.
He wouldn't let Alan and Ruyu go on those kinds of adventures; who knows what Niu Niu Tiandao might do...
"Huh?" Alan asked, puzzled. "Then how do we turn the tables on them?"
Jiang Ling chuckled: "I'll just pretend to faint, won't that solve it?"
Song Ruyu's lips twitched as she sized up the muscular, blond-haired man who was 1.9 meters tall. His thighs were almost as thick as Alan's slender waist. She thought to herself:
"You're faking fainting? Unless they're all blind, and besides, there were two of us, Alan and me, and only one of us fainted. It doesn't make sense at all, does it?"
"Actually, I have another hidden skill." Jiang Ling clasped her hands together and silently chanted, "To shatter into pieces—!"
Then, his body was divided into pieces, like building blocks, starting from the feet and piecing them together little by little, and the pieces of his body gradually reassembled into two "Jiang Ling".
It is not a clone.
Because at this moment, Jiang Ling is only 1.45 meters tall.
She was about the same height as Alan and the others.
He then dressed in a variety of clothes, imitating Alan and Song Ruyu's outfits and makeup. As long as he didn't take off his underwear to see his brother, he was definitely "Alan" and "Song Ruyu".
Lan Xinlan was completely bewildered.
Song Ruyu was utterly shocked.
"Wow, you can play like that?!"
"Alright, come with me." Jiang Ling carried Alan, whose legs were still a little numb, and walked out the door.
"So what are you going to do now?" Song Ruyu came to her senses and quickly followed.
He smiled calmly: "I'll find you an empty room first. You take Alan and hide there. I'll come back to find you after I'm done with my business."
"But there are no empty rooms..."
Jiang Ling knocked on a door, and while the middle-aged female homeowner was opening it, he punched her unconscious. He then turned to Song Ruyu and smiled.
"Alright, this room is now empty."
Song Ruyu: (⩌-⩌)?
Lan Xinlan: _(•̀ω•́」∠)_ "Ah Ling is so amazing!"
……
Half an hour later, in the hotel's dimly lit corridor.
A group of people embroidered on gray robes walked upstairs.
The leader was a petite, black-haired little girl with shark embroidery, her eyes were cold, and she exuded an aura of unapproachability.
"Your Excellency, this is the room."
The person leading the way was the kind-looking old lady at the front desk, but now her face was devoid of any kindness, only showing respect and indifference.
"Those two 'rats' that sneaked in have been poisoned with 'Soul-Soothing Incense' and should be unconscious by now. I have checked and there is no sign of anyone else accompanying them."
"I wonder if it's Guolian Bio this time, or some other investigative organization..."
Recently, too many companies and organizations have been sending investigators to the island.
Push open the door.
Sure enough, there were two people lying on the ground.
"Take her away," the little girl in the gray robe said, waving her hand.
Several burly followers, also dressed in gray robes, immediately stepped forward and skillfully hoisted the two "girls" on their shoulders, then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," the little girl in the gray robe suddenly called out to them.
"What's wrong, Your Excellency?" a believer asked, somewhat puzzled.
The little girl in the gray robe stepped forward and took out two syringes that had been prepared beforehand from her sleeve.
Without the slightest hesitation, she inserted the needles into the bare arms of "Lan Xinlan" and "Song Ruyu" respectively, and slowly pushed in the light blue sedative liquid.
"Alright, take it back."
Wait until all his men have left.
The little girl in the gray robe slowly removed the large hood from her head.
Under the dim corridor lights, a delicate face that bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Li Meiyu was revealed.
She had the same fair skin and delicate features, but her eyes were completely different—there was none of Li Meiyu's cold exterior but warm interior, or the occasional coquettish or awkward emotions; there was only an unyielding, icy indifference.
And a sense of alienation, of being superior and regarding all things as ants.
Her demeanor was colder and quieter, like a finely crafted doll devoid of emotion.
"hehe……"
