Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 166: Southern Xinjiang Poison

As he was speaking, the phone in the room rang. Yan Wang hurried to pick it up. He didn't know where he pressed the button, but a huge screen appeared in the middle of the room, just like watching a 3D movie in a cinema.

Suddenly, the call was connected and a figure appeared on the screen. It was none other than Wu Xiwen's face that appeared nervously on the screen.

Looking at the background of the picture, it was in the Wu family villa that Wu Jinling was very familiar with, and it was in Wu Xiwen's room.

"Grandpa, save me!" Suddenly, the girl in the picture spoke, and even her voice was very similar to Wu Xiwen. It seemed that when Wu Xiwen switched faces with Chen Mi, even his voice changed completely. No wonder she had no doubts when Wu Xiwen approached her with Chen Mi's face.

"Xiwen!" After hearing the call of "Grandpa", Wu Jinling was so excited that he almost stood up from his seat. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't do such a difficult movement.

"No, no, you are not Xiwen, you are not Xiwen, Xiwen is dead, I saw it with my own eyes, you must be the girl whose face was swapped with hers, I don't know you at all." After being excited, Wu Jinling regained his rationality and immediately shook his head, trying not to be disturbed by that face. He closed his eyes and hypnotized himself over and over again, telling himself that the girl was not his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'm Xiwen. How could I not be Xiwen? What face-changing? What dead? I'm not dead. Ever since I hid last time, I've been trying to contact you, but I couldn't. Now you say I'm not Xiwen. Grandpa, Xiwen is so sad. Xiwen's parents are gone, and now you're the only relative left. When we met briefly last time, didn't you tell me that bitch Meng Zhiling is not someone to be trifled with? And you said that after the storm has passed, we, the grandfather and grandson, will find a quiet place and I'll take good care of you in your old age, living a peaceful life?"

"Wu Xiwen" attacked again. With that beautiful face, innocent and pitiful eyes and tone, anyone could tell that she was the qualified Wu Xiwen. Even the little action of scratching her nose unconsciously after she finished speaking was exactly the same.

"Are you really Xiwen? Are you really my granddaughter?" Wu Jinling asked uncertainly, obviously a little shaken.

After all, theoretically speaking, he knew nothing about his last conversation with Wu Xiwen. He had been advising Wu Xiwen not to provoke Meng Zhiling because they could not afford to provoke Qiao Surong and the Hua family. In the end, he did not expect Wu Xiwen to marry Qiao Surong and marry into the Hua family. He only hoped that his only relative could have a safe living environment, graduate, have a glamorous career and a good income, and marry an ordinary husband. He would be content with that. What's more, he could easily do all these for her.

But she really didn't listen to her own advice time and time again. Her personality was exactly the same as her mother's, both so strong-willed and stubborn.

"Grandpa, I've said this much, do you still doubt me? I'm your only granddaughter, what's wrong with you? Why do you doubt me? Why do you say I'm dead?"

A series of questions from "Wu Xiwen" left Wu Jinling speechless for a moment. Now that he thought about it carefully, the dead Wu Xiwen seemed to be blindly pursuing revenge since returning to his side, and kept asking him to create various conditions for her. It seemed that she was using him and was not that close to him.

At first he thought it was because of the different faces, but now he thinks it’s terrifying.

But even so, he would not believe it so easily, because he knew Qiao Surong, he was omnipotent, maybe this was a trap he set, waiting for him to jump into.

"Unless you let her come to see me, I will naturally be able to tell the real from the fake, otherwise I will never believe that this is my granddaughter." Obviously, this sentence was not said to "Wu Xiwen", but to negotiate conditions with Qiao Surong.

"Haha, what qualifications and bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with me now? Anyway, I just want to help you. If you don't appreciate it, I naturally won't spend more time on it. In this case, then Huanxue and Wu Xiwen are up to you. Or give her to your sister-in-law as a gift. I think she will be very happy to see Miss Wu and will be happy to see her."

Qiao Surong was still sitting on the chair, calm and composed. He didn't need to secretly observe Wu Jinling's expression at all, because he knew that even if he didn't believe it completely, he would still have that one percent belief in his heart, or his psychological suggestion made him more willing to believe that this Wu Xiwen was real and that Wu Xiwen was not dead. So despite this, Qiao Surong had a 100% chance of winning.

Wu Jinling certainly couldn't bear to watch Wu Xiwen die in front of him. Even if she was not the real Wu Xiwen, that was his granddaughter's face and voice. Even if it was fake, he would still have feelings for her.

"Grandpa, save me, Grandpa..."

Wu Xiwen was screaming miserably in the picture. His cries for help were like the sound of a devil, devouring Wu Jinling's brain and thoughts over and over again.

Seeing that Wu Xiwen was about to be dragged out of the screen by Huanxue, "Wait a minute!" Wu Jinling immediately made a decision.

"What? Have you figured it out?" Qiao Surong raised his hand and everyone stopped what they were doing.

"Just tell me what you want, but I really don't have the antidote." Wu Jinling seemed to feel a sense of helplessness slowly creeping up on his heart. He clearly wanted to save his granddaughter so much, but he was powerless.

"Okay, I will temporarily believe that you really don't have the antidote, but what kind of poison did Miss Ming get?" Qiao Surong didn't really believe him, but he knew that he would definitely not hand over the antidote so quickly, even if he had it.

"Poison!" Wu Jinling thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth. Perhaps as long as he told them what he knew, they would let Wu Xiwen go this time.

"It's a poison that has been raised for many years by a poison master in southern Xinjiang. Maybe if we find him, he can find a way to cure it. This is also the only possible way." Wu Jinling paused and continued. Anyway, as long as he cleared himself now, everything else would be easy.

"Is it Nangong Shuo?" Qiao Surong narrowed his eyes slightly. When Nanjiang was mentioned, he thought of that creepy name. The poison had been passed down from generation to generation. Although he did not have any special abilities, he was invincible all over the world because of his good at growing poison. Even many high-level people with special abilities had fallen into his hands.

Wu Jinling nodded. Only he could produce such a strong and quick-reacting poison.

"Go and pass on my order, let Nangong Shuo come to see me immediately. If he doesn't come, his entire clan will be exterminated immediately." Qiao Surong clenched his fists and said angrily, and Gu Mu also went to do it immediately.

"Aren't you afraid of really angering him?" Wu Jinling frowned. In his opinion, Qiao Surong was the most fearless person in the world. He dealt with everyone according to his mood and was not afraid of angering or offending anyone.

Only he has the capital to be so arrogant.

"Hmph, it's even better if he's angry. This is just the right opportunity for me to find a way to eliminate him and his people. It would be considered as ridding the world of harm, and there would be no such cruel thing as Gu Du anymore." Qiao Surong gritted his teeth, hating Gu Du more than anything else. Perhaps it was because Gu Du had angered him this time. If it hadn't angered him, he wouldn't bother with these trivial matters in the martial arts world.

"Can we release Wu Xiwen now?" Wu Jinling knew that he would definitely not let him go, but he still had to negotiate terms when it was time to do so. He had to fight for a better chance of survival for his granddaughter.

"Do you think it's possible? If Meng Zhiling's mother returns to normal one day, your granddaughter will be free. During this period, even I don't know where my brothers will send your granddaughter. But Huanxue, I have an idea. Isn't the youngest son of the Ming family in the army? They are so against the Ming family. What do you think about sending a beautiful woman like Wu Xiwen to the army? I believe their leaders will be very grateful to me."

"Yes, boss, you remember it right!" Although Huanxue never showed up on the other end of the phone, her voice came through the big screen.

"Then send it over. Anyway, it was the Wu family that wronged the Ming family first." Qiao Surong said calmly, raised his hand, and in passing elevated the personal grudge between Wu Jinling and Meng Zhiling to the family struggle between the Wu and Ming families.

It is obvious that even the Wu family in its heyday was no match for the Ming family. Now that this is said, Wu Jinling is under even greater pressure.

"Mr. Qiao, please, don't. If you really send him to the army, Xiwen will be ruined!" If conditions permit, Wu Jinling would probably kneel down and beg bitterly, but Qiao Surong kept his head raised, looking as if it was none of his business after he had given the order, which was really worrying.

"Please, I will agree to anything you say, as long as you let my granddaughter go. She is still so young, and her life has just begun!" Wu Jinling begged. In his life, except for being ignorant as a child, Wu Jinling had only shed sweat and blood when he grew up. But now, he was in tears and looked like he had aged ten years.

"Okay, then tell me, why did Nangong Shuo want to help you? And who was the mastermind behind this incident? Also, did you have anything to do with the kidnapping of Mingzhu from Lingyang City last time?" Qiao Surong asked a lot of questions in succession. If one's brain was a little bit not working well, he might not be able to remember how many questions there were and what they were.

"If I tell you all the truth, can you really let Xiwen go?" Wu Jinling did not trust Qiao Surong, but even if he did not trust him, he had no other choice but to buy more time and get more conditions that would be favorable to Xiwen.

"I said, it's impossible to release you, but you can be exempted from all the punishments you have suffered during this period." Qiao Surong smiled slightly, as if giving him a great power of pardon.
