On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2027 Hope dashed

The sole of Yinding's boot was firmly on Zhou Lie's back, leaving several white marks on the blue brick floor as Zhou Lie struggled.

His throat rolled and he spat out a mouthful of blood foam with broken teeth on the ground, staining the blue bricks with spots.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, stiffened his neck, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyu.

"Don't get too cocky!" Zhou Lie's voice was hoarse, yet it held a fierce determination to not admit defeat. "You think everything will be fine once you catch me? To tell you the truth, the people hiding on this island are a hundred times more powerful than me. When they get out, you'll all be dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shengsheng came over quickly. The undried blood stain at the corner of his mouth was particularly eye-catching, and his clothes were torn in several places.

As soon as she stood firm, she spoke hurriedly: "That Mu Wan, she is not a good person at all, she is a spy!"

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that he was not a spy at all, but the biggest mastermind here.

"How is your injury?" She spoke. Her voice was not loud, but it had a penetrating power that could not be ignored. The originally noisy discussions around her instantly died down.

Su Shengsheng quickly shook his head and tightened his grip on the corner of his clothes: "I'm fine, they didn't hurt me, it's just a minor flesh wound, it's not a big deal. The most important thing now is that Mu Wan..."

"Have a drink of water first." Yan Ruyu didn't let her continue. She raised her hand, took out a bottle from the brocade bag on her waist, and handed it to Su Shengsheng.

The bottle is transparent, you can see the water inside, and it fits perfectly in your hand.

Su Shengsheng had never seen such a bottle before and was extremely curious. But now was not the time to ask about the bottle.

She was indeed very thirsty. She was frightened and anxious just now, and her throat was so dry that it felt like smoking.

She took the bottle and poured it into her mouth. The cool spring water slid down her throat, instantly dispelling the dryness.

What was even more surprising was that the burning pain in his body caused by the fight with Zhou Lie's men slowly dissipated after he drank the spring water, and even the stinging from other wounds was much less.

She held the bottle, her eyes slightly widened, her face full of surprise: "This...how come this water is so magical?"

Yan Ruyu didn't explain, but just raised her hand to signal her to stand aside and rest first, and then she turned around and walked towards Zhou Lie again.

The moonlight fell on her, and she stood tall and straight. Although she didn't make any exaggerated movements, it made people feel that every step she took was on people's hearts, and her aura was so strong that people around her dared not speak.

"When you said 'more powerful people'," Yan Ruyu looked down at Zhou Lie, her eyes cold and expressionless, "were you referring to Mu Wan or her subordinates?"

Zhou Lie's neck, which was originally stiff, suddenly paused when he heard this. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly said with all his strength: "Don't try to trick me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Changhe clapped his hands lightly.

Huo Changhe stood beside Yan Ruyu without saying a word, but deep in his eyes, there was a chilling coldness.

He clapped his hands twice, and two black-clad guards immediately walked out from behind him. With quick movements and a wave of his hand, he threw a bloody head in front of Zhou Lie.

The head rolled twice and stopped next to Zhou Lie's face, his eyes wide open, his face still showing the fear before death. On the forehead of the man, there was a red mark engraved - it was the mark of those mysterious people under Mu Wan!

Zhou Lie's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils slightly contracted, and he stared at the head for a long time before slowly looking away and looking at Huo Changhe.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably, not because he was afraid of being stepped on, but because he couldn't believe what he saw.

Although he had never dealt with those people, he had seen their abilities with his own eyes - last time, someone who resisted Mu Wan had his neck broken by those people with just one move, and the movements were so fast that people could not see clearly.

Even Jiulang had specifically reminded him more than once that he must not provoke Mu Wan and her people on the island, saying that those people were "evil spirits that could not be provoked."

But now, the head of the "Evil God" was right in front of him, and he died so easily.

"You...you killed them?" Zhou Lie's voice trembled. He wanted to raise his head, but Yin Ding's foot held it down tightly. He could only tilt his head, his eyes full of disbelief. "This is impossible...They are so powerful, how could you kill them?"

Huo Changhe finally spoke. His voice was even calmer than Yan Ruyu's, but it carried a kind of overwhelming intimidation: "Powerful? In front of me, these people are nothing but ants."

When he said this, his tone was as calm as if he was saying "It's a nice day today", but the people around him felt a chill on their backs and even breathed slower.

Zhou Lie knew that Huo Changhe was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could kill Mu Wan's men as easily as ants.

Zhou Lie still couldn't believe it. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter a word.

He looked at the head, then at Huo Changhe's calm demeanor, and felt that his previous arrogance and fear of Mu Wan's men were all a joke.

Seeing him like this, Yan Ruyu said nothing more and just waved her hand gently.

The guard next to him immediately understood and walked out from the shadows, escorting someone.

The man had his hands tied behind his back, his clothes were wrinkled, his skirt was stained with smelly black blood, there was a scar on his hand from a hairpin, his left cheek was swollen, and his hair was draped over his shoulders, covering most of his face.

But even so, no one dared to ignore her - because her eyes that showed from between her hair were too scary, full of red bloodshot, with crazy eyes, as if she wanted to eat people, staring at the people around her.

She was still muttering, "Where's my beast? You killed my sacred beast. I'm going to kill you! I must kill you!"

As the guards pushed her forward, her face was completely revealed—it was Mu Wan!

Zhou Lie's trembling body froze instantly.

He stared at Mu Wan, looking at her crazy look, the blood on her body, and the scars on her face. It felt like his heart was hit hard by something. He was so shocked that he even forgot to breathe.

But he never thought that this woman who usually looked gentle and polite would be like this, and he never thought that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe could actually capture her!

Mu Wan also saw Zhou Lie. A hint of surprise flashed across her frantic eyes, and then she became even more ferocious: "Zhou Lie, you useless piece of shit! You couldn't even handle such a simple thing, and you were caught by them. I was so blind!"

Zhou Lie opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't even make a sound.

He could only watch Mu Wan being escorted by the guards, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe standing there like gods in control of everything, while he and Mu Wan were just pawns in their hands and could be discarded at any time.

Yan Ruyu ignored Mu Wan's shouting and just looked down at Zhou Lie, her eyes still cold and stern: "Now, do you still think that anyone can save you?"

Zhou Lie looked into Yan Ruyu's eyes, then looked at the crazy Mu Wan beside him, and the cold head on the ground. The last bit of hope in his heart disappeared.

He opened his mouth and finally uttered a sound, but it was no longer as arrogant as before, but rather hoarse with despair: "What... are you going to do?"

Yan Ruyu sneered: "You have said everything you need to say. In fact, you have been a useless person for a long time. I didn't kill you before just to let Mu Wan relax his vigilance, that's all."

Zhou Lie's breath was choked as he was hit hard again: "You...you already knew about Mu Wan..."

Yin Ding snorted coldly, "With her tricks, she can't even fool me, and she still wants to deceive my... young master?"
