Chapter 143 Missed
Faced with Tu Lian's nonchalant attitude, he seemed to be cooperating but was actually avoiding the main point and changing the subject.
Jiang Lingyin's face became increasingly gloomy, and the anger in her heart was already burning.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire at this moment as she stared at Tu Lian.
If it weren't for the fact that one can only get a truth pill within a month, she wouldn't have wasted time talking nonsense with Tu Lian here.
Jiang Lingyin bit her lip and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
He said sternly again: "Tu Lian, don't think you can get away with it like this. If you don't tell me everything you know today, don't even think about leaving this room!"
Tu Lian seemed to have sensed Jiang Lingyin's anger, and the smile on her face faded a little.
But he still looked nonchalant, muttering quietly: "Why are you so fierce? I've already said everything I can say."
When Jiang Lingyin heard her mumbling, he could no longer control his emotions and slammed the table.
He shouted loudly: "How dare you be so stubborn!"
This roar made the whole room tremble.
Jiang Lingyin's roar echoed in the room, shaking Tu Lian's body, and a trace of fear finally appeared on his face.
However, the fear only flashed by, and Tu Lian quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, no matter how fierce you are, I really don't know more."
Jiang Lingyin laughed in anger and snorted, "Okay, then you just stay here and wait until I get the truth serum pills, and then we'll see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"
There was a flash of panic in Tu Lian's eyes, but he still said stubbornly: "Humph, wait then, I'm not lying anyway."
Tu Lian thought about how Jiang Lingyin led her and Zhuang Ruoyu into the depths of the dense forest, and they were suddenly trapped in a desperate situation.
Then they were beaten by Jiang Lingyin without any chance to fight back.
Moreover, this madman Jiang Lingyin actually learned her skills of controlling medicine men.
What kind of witch is this!
As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became more depressing.
Jiang Lingyin sat on the chair, staring at Tu Lian with sharp eyes, thinking in her mind how to pry more useful information out of her.
Jiang Lingyin helplessly asked Mengduo in her mind: "Mengduo baby, how long will the memory analysis function last?"
Meng Duo regretfully informed: "Director, it will take eight hours before it can be used again."
Jiang Lingyin was really angry to death.
But Tu Lian is really a tough nut to crack. Shanying and the others have already used torture on him.
Tu Lian would steal glances at Jiang Lingyin from time to time, and was also making his own plans in his mind.
At this moment, Ye Wenjing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Tu Lian, if you tell the truth now, you may be able to get a lighter sentence. If you insist on hiding it, you won't have such a good chance when the truth comes out."
Tu Lian was slightly startled and fell into a brief contemplation.
Ye Wenjing's words echoed in the quiet room, making Tu Lian's expression even more conflicted.
She bit her lip, her eyes flickered, as if she was having a fierce struggle in her heart.
Seeing this, Jiang Lingyin said while the iron was hot: "Think carefully, should you tell the truth now to save your life, or wait for the truth pill to force you to reveal everything, then there will be no room for negotiation."
Tu Lian lowered his head, twisted the corners of his clothes nervously with his hands, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, she raised her head, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and slowly said: "Actually... I don't know much, but..."
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing immediately pricked up their ears and stared at Tu Lian closely, afraid of missing any key words.
Tu Lian took a deep breath and continued, "I once accidentally heard them mention a mysterious place called 'Shadow Valley'. It is said that it is related to the core secrets of the Floating Flower Society. But I really don't know what it is specifically."
Jiang Lingyin frowned, thinking about this new clue: "Shadow Valley? Where is it?"
Ye Wenjing said thoughtfully: "Anyway, this is a clue after all, we have to investigate it carefully."
Tu Lian looked at them cautiously and said, "That's all I know. Really, I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Lingyin stared at her for a while and said, "I will trust you for now, but if I find out that you are hiding something, I will not let you off easily."
The room fell silent again, and the secret of the Fuhua Society seemed to still be hidden in the fog.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes the importance of this new clue.
Jiang Lingyin turned around and looked at Tu Lian again, saying, "Then think about it carefully. Is there any other relevant information about this Shadow Valley? Even a little detail could be crucial to us."
Tu Lian frowned and tried to recall. After a while, she shook her head and said, "That's really all I heard. I overheard it by accident at the time. They quickly changed the subject."
Ye Wenjing stood up and paced around the room. "In this case, we have to investigate this Shadow Valley as soon as possible. But before that, we can't completely trust Tu Lian's words. We have to send someone to keep an eye on her in case she makes any small moves."
Jiang Lingyin nodded, "That's right, we can't take it lightly."
Afterwards, Jiang Lingyin ordered her men to strengthen the supervision of Tu Lian, while she and Ye Wenjing began to plan how to explore the secrets of Shadow Valley.
Ye Wenjing asked Lu Tinglin to take Tianwen’s people to investigate.
At the same time, Jiang Lingyin also asked Qin Xiang to personally lead the people from Xuanji Pavilion to investigate.
However, what they didn't know was that while they were busy looking for new clues, the Fuhua Society was secretly taking action and a bigger crisis was about to come.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing immediately began to collect all the information about Shadow Valley. They sent people to inquire everywhere and not miss any clues.
At the same time, Tu Lian, who was under guard, was not idle either. She seemed quiet and obedient, but she was actually making her own plans in her mind.
She secretly observed the guards' every move around her, looking for a possible opportunity to escape.
One day passed, then two days passed, and still no definite news came about Shadow Valley.
Jiang Lingyin became more and more anxious, and Ye Wenjing also frowned.
Just then, an unexpected situation occurred.
One of the men who was in charge of guarding Tu Lian suddenly fell into a coma, and Tu Lian disappeared.
After Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing heard the news, they secretly thought it was not good.
They immediately realized that this was the work of the Fuhua Society, and the other party obviously did not want Tu Lian to reveal more secrets.
Jiang Lingyin regretted it deeply: "It's all my fault for not strengthening my defenses."
Ye Wenjing comforted her, "Now is not the time to blame ourselves. We must find a way to find Tu Lian as soon as possible. We cannot let her fall into the hands of the Fuhua Society, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
The two men quickly adjusted their strategy and intensified their search efforts, causing turmoil in the entire Jiangnan area.
At this time, the escaped Tu Lian was being secretly escorted by people from the Fuhua Society and was about to be transferred to a place.
Tu Lian's heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she was grateful for the rescue by the Fuhua Society, but on the other hand, she was confused about her future.
She had never seen the appearance of the leader of the Fuhua Society.
Is there a chance to meet him this time?
But... Wulian Villa was burned down and Jinlu Mountain was lost. I am afraid that I don’t have much time left.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing's search actions aroused the vigilance of the Fuhua Society. They kept changing their routes, trying to get rid of the pursuit.
In a remote alley, Jiang Lingyin keenly discovered some clues, and the remaining pieces of clothing made her firmly believe that they were not far from Tu Lian.
Meng Duo said: "My dear master, the little demon girl should be within ten miles."
Ye Wenjing looked at these clues and analyzed: "They should not have gone far, let's speed up."
Just when they were about to catch up, the people from the Fuhua Society set up many traps to try to stop them.
For a moment, arrows flew like rain and the air was filled with smoke.
Tu Lian still disappeared right under their noses.
Jiang Lingyin had never been so upset.
She was wondering what kind of existence Tu Lian was to the Fuhua Society?
Perhaps Tu Lian plays the role of a key intelligence transmitter or bait in the Fuhua Society's plan?
Judging from her evasive and diverting attitude after being caught by Jiang Lingyin, she might have been instructed to hide some important information and wait for the right time to pass it to the Fuhua Society.
Or maybe she knew some core secrets, and Fuhua deliberately let her be caught in order to mislead the direction of Jiang Lingyin and others' investigation.
Or perhaps, Tu Lian was a bait deliberately released by the Fuhua Society to attract the attention of Jiang Lingyin and others, thereby covering up other important actions of the Fuhua Society.
Of course, it is not ruled out that she is a small character who is used by Fuhuahui without knowing it, and is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time in the entire huge plan.
