The situation in Shangjing was a little dangerous!
I'd only just settled in, and someone had already come knocking.
Wen Li's movements must have been under surveillance for a long time.
Fu Qian looked at the maid standing outside the door.
She was in her twenties, with a fairly pretty face, but her expression was vacant and her eyes lifeless. She was clearly not in a normal state.
What a familiar feeling!
Fu Qian inexplicably remembered the person who had poisoned Wen Li before, and sighed to himself.
Being a maid in Wen Li's household really was a high-risk job!
Next time, he'd have to suggest that Wen Li raise their wages.
"Sure. I've always liked playing games."
Fu Qian replied, completely at ease.
At his words, the maid fell silent for several seconds, then replied in the same mechanical voice.
"Very good. I hope you can maintain this optimistic attitude."
After speaking, the maid walked stiffly into the room and came all the way to Fu Qian.
The next moment, she raised the tray in her hands and lifted the cloth covering it.
Inside were two small, transparent glass bottles, each containing a capsule of a different color.
At almost the same moment, a cloud of red mist appeared out of thin air and enveloped Fu Qian.
A weighty sensation followed. Fu Qian felt as if he'd been cast in red concrete.
"One red, one green. You need to choose one of the two capsules."
The maid stared straight at Fu Qian.
"One is poisonous, and the other isn't. The woman will put the one you choose into your mouth, then take the other one herself."
"If you choose the harmless one, the woman will die. The restraint will disappear, and you'll be able to escape your current predicament."
