For a moment, the teahouse was eerily quiet.
Yue Guan stood beside Bibi Dong, motionless.
Bibi Dong sat in his original position, gently stroking his belly with his hand.
"Yue Guan Elder, thank you."
Yue Guan said in a high-pitched voice, "This is the duty of my subordinates. Madam, don't worry, no one can hurt you with my subordinates here."
Bibi Dong nodded.
Ling Yuan and Bibi Xi rushed into the teahouse, Ling Yuan was carrying a man in his hand.
But at this moment, the man's head was hanging weakly, and his whole body was as soft as a pile of mud.
"Bang."
Ling Yuan Throw him to the ground.
Yue Guan looked down and said, "Did you kill him?"
"I didn't kill him, he committed suicide."
She gasped and explained the situation again.
"When I caught up with him, he still wanted to run away."
"I knocked him down with a palm and was about to bring him back for interrogation. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth began to bleed, and his whole body went limp - he committed suicide by biting the poison."
Yue Guan squatted down, opened the man's mouth and took a look. The gums were black and there was a small wound at the base of the tongue.
"Cyanide, seals the throat at the sight of blood, kills in three seconds, standard Deadpool configuration."
Ling Yuan frowned, "Deadpool? You mean... a specially trained dead soldier?"
"Yeah." Yue Guan stood up with an ugly face, "This kind of Deadpool will commit suicide if the mission fails and will never reveal any information."
He looked at Bibi Xi, "Xiao Xi, take him to the private room and strip-search him to see if there are any clues to his identity."
Bibi Xi nodded, picked up the body and entered the private room next to it.
Yue Guan looked at Ling Yuan again, "Ling Yuan, take your wife to a private room to rest, and don't allow anyone to come near her."
Ling Yuan nodded, "Yes!"
She walked to Bibi Dong and helped her up, "Sister Dong'er, let's go rest first."
Bibi Dong nodded and followed Ling Yuan into another private room.
At this time, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the door.
Yue Guan looked up and saw that a large number of the Spirit Hall guards had arrived, surrounding the entire teahouse.
Among the crowd, a black figure flashed across.
Gui Mei appeared in front of Yue Guan.
"What's going on? Someone wants to attack Madam?"
Yue Guan nodded and briefly explained the situation.
Gui Mei frowned after hearing this, "It seems that they knew they were not good enough, so they started to think of tricks."
He took out a slender silver needle from his arms and put it into the teapot.
When the silver needle enters the water, it instantly turns black.
"It is indeed poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous."
Yue Guan looked at the black silver needle, his face became darker.
"If I weren't too familiar with the flavor of this tea, today..."
He didn't say any more.
But everyone understands the meaning.
At this time, Bibi Xi walked out of the private room.
He held a small cloth bag in his hand and handed it to Yue Guan.
"Elder, that's all."
Yue Guan took the cloth bag and opened it.
Inside is a vial of poison and a dagger.
The poison is ordinary cyanide, the same as the one in Deadpool's mouth.
A dagger... just a dagger.
Ordinary iron, ordinary style, no markings, no characteristics.
"Nothing."
"They didn't even give them a marked weapon. These guys are very careful."
Gui Mei took the dagger, looked at it, and shook his head, "It's batch-produced stuff, and the source cannot be traced."
Yue Guan turned around and looked at the store manager huddled in the corner.
The old man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face as white as paper.
"Come here..." Yue Guan raised his fingers at him.
The store manager almost crawled over.
"S-Elder, have mercy on me... the little one really doesn't know anything..."
Yue Guan squatted down and looked into his eyes.
"When did the poisoner come to your store?"
The store manager trembled and replied, "Two or two months ago... He said his name was Song Jie, his hometown is Suotuo City, and he came to Spirit City to make a living... I saw that he was honest and willing to work, so I stayed..."
"Two months."
"How does he usually behave?"
"Very, very honest... doesn't talk much, works hard... never causes trouble..."
He asked a few more questions, and the store manager told him everything he knew.
But it's all useless information.
The name is false, the age is false, and the address is false.
Nothing.
Yue Guan stood up and sighed.
"It's indeed Deadpool. Nothing can be found."
Bibi Xi scratched his head at the side, "Elder, I don't understand - how did he know that we would come to this teahouse to drink tea today?"
Gui Mei explained, "They don't know."
"Don't know?"
"Yeah." Gui Mei nodded, "This means that he is not the only deadpool in Spirit City."
"Maybe there are a dozen or even dozens of them, dressed as businessmen, vendors, shop assistants, beggars... all over the city."
"They don't know which store Madam will go to, but they can bet."
"As long as the blind cat meets the dead Haozi, it will succeed. Even if it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter. It's just a loss of a deadpool."
Bibi Xi felt chills running down his back, "Dozens..." He murmured, "That's too scary..."
Yue Guan patted his shoulder, "That's why you have to be careful."
The door to the private room opened.
Bibi Dong came out, his face returned to normal.
"Two elders, do you know who they are?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at each other.
Yue Guan spoke first, "The only ones who can afford to support Deadpool are those powerful people."
Gui Mei added, "You are quite courageous, you dare to attack my wife at Spirit City."
"Any clues?"
"Not yet, there is nothing left on Deadpool."
Bibi Dong said worriedly, "Then what should we do next?"
Gui Mei took a step forward and said, "Madam, it's best not to leave Spirit Hall even half a step during this period. As for food, we will send someone to try it first before sending it over."
Yue Guan also said, "I will follow my wife to ensure safety."
"Thank you for your hard work, two elders."
The two of them quickly clasped their fists and said, "It's our job."
Bibi Dong looked out the window again, at the guards surrounding the teahouse.
Her eyes are very calm.
"Investigate everyone in the city who is concerned with food and beverages."
"If there is anything unusual, ask first."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei responded at the same time, "Yes, ma'am!"
Bibi Dong looked away and put his hand on his belly.
"Go back, it's not safe here."
Ling Yuan stepped forward to support her, "Sister Dong'er, I will accompany you."
Bibi Dong nodded.
The group of people walked out of the teahouse, surrounded by guards, and walked in the direction of the Spirit Hall.
Yue Guan followed at the end, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
Gui Mei has disappeared into the crowd to arrange investigations.
The carriage drove slowly towards the Spirit Hall.
In the carriage, Bibi Dong was leaning on the soft cushions with his eyes closed.
Ling Yuan sat next to her and gently held her hand.
"Sister Dong'er," she whispered, "Are you scared?"
Bibi Dong opened his eyes and looked at her.
"It was a bit scary at first," she said, "But then I wasn't afraid anymore."
"Why?"
Bibi Dong smiled.
"Because I know someone will protect me."
She paused and put her hand on her belly again.
"Besides, I have to protect her."
Ling Yuan looked at her smile and said, "Sister Dong'er, you are definitely a good mother."
