Chapter 2207: Plotting Against One Another (3)
He looked up and said, "Did you just poison me?" He raised his hand and wanted to hurt Gu Xijiu. However, as soon as he used his spiritual power, the pain in his body became even more unbearable. Overwhelmed by the pain, he lay on the floor. He tried to use his spiritual power to expel the poison from within, but it only worsened his condition. In the end, he could not use any of his spiritual power.
Utterly shocked, he finally felt terrified. Indignant, he shouted at Gu Xijiu, "How dare you! How brave of you to poison me! If anything happens to me, Luo Hua City will fall."
Gu Xijiu looked at him with a lack of interest in the city. "If I cannot make sure that my people are safe, why should I even care about Luo Hua City? I do not care, even if it crumbles."
Her response dumbfounded Ye Ling. "Without Luo Hua City, do you think you can make it out alive? I can make an order now to arrest you and put you to death by dismembering your body!"
Gu Xijiu smiled; obviously, she did not feel threatened. "You may try. I will now give you 15 minutes to look for me. If you fail, you die." Swiftly, she disappeared.
Ye Ling was completely in shock. Eagerly, he tried to stand up. "Send men to look for Miss Stone as soon as possible!"
Not more than three minutes later, a man came with some news. "Governor, Miss Stone is now at the outskirts of the city. Should we take her in?"
Ye Ling’s face sank. "Direct an audio message to her and ask her to come back," he could not help but sigh.
