C118

Just as she was feeling lonely, a figure walked towards her.

"Little girl, everyone else is gone, why aren't you running?"

The voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears, and it carried a cold magnetism, just like the laughter she had heard earlier.

Chen Mu Mu then raised his eyes, borrowing the light from the torch to size him up completely.

He was only 18 or 19 years old, and his luxurious clothing gave off an imposing aura. He had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and a hooked nose, and his smiling lips made his entire face shine. He was extraordinarily handsome, but his eyes were very calm.

This person's appearance was too bizarre. Chen Mu Mu's body stiffened as she leaned against the railing, asking in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that …" He smiled faintly. His facial features were very pretty. If she was an ordinary girl who had just had her first love, she would have lost her mind in a second. She would not even know who she was. "I'm not your enemy."

"Better take your hand away." Chen Mu had seen many pretty boys before, but he wasn't willing to give up on them. Staring at the hand he stretched out, his gaze turned cold as he curled his lips, "Otherwise, I don't mind crippling your hand."

This person should have already known what sort of person she was when he had observed her confrontation with Lin Qiu'er.

Since she was able to prick Lin Qiu'er's arm, she was naturally able to do the same … Cripple his hand.

The man's hand that was stretched out in the air stiffened. Seeing her strange expression, he didn't dare to hit his gun. After pausing for a while, he nonchalantly withdrew his hand and sighed: "He really isn't a cute kid. He can't even joke around."

"I don't like to be touched." Chen Mu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Especially when it's a stranger's hand, it makes me feel nauseous."

"It's really hurtful to speak like that." The man leaned against the door of the cell helplessly, looking at her with a burning gaze, with an interest in catching prey. "Little girl, I've said it already, I'm not your enemy."

Who knew if she was an enemy or not? In any case, she was not in a good position right now, so whoever suddenly popped out of nowhere was an enemy.

Chen Mu Mu pursed his lips, but before he could say anything, that person spoke again.

"Let me get to know you. My name is Qin Tianshui. What about you?"

The Qin family name was the Tian family name.

Chen Mu Mu's eyes narrowed as he looked at the jade pendant hanging around his waist.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Qin Tiansei was stared at by her, and subconsciously, he drew his robes closer to the center, covering the jade pendant at his waist. Although he didn't know why she was staring at his jade pendant, those eyes seemed to see through him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before when facing anyone.

However, how could he, Qin Tianshui, a hero, lose to a silly little girl?

Qin Tianliang let out a low cough and regained his composure. He still had a charming smile on his face that could fool a woman from a good family: "Girl, what's your name?"

"Chen Mu Mu." This man's identity was extraordinary, so she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to. Thus, she didn't try to hide anything from him.

"Good name." Qin Tiansei tilted his head to look at her, then repeated his previous question, "Why didn't you run when everyone else was already running?"

He carelessly held the prison door open and shook it. "Don't worry, I won't stop you. If you want to leave, I can give way anytime."

This person was truly bored.

Chen Mu Mu Mu gave him a disdainful look and leaned on the railing as he calmly replied, "You don't have to worry about me. However, is it really true that your own matters are so troublesome?"

There was no one in this world who was truly free. They would even go to the prison at night to roam about.

A person who broke into a prison without permission would be punished.

There must be a reason for him to take the risk and barge in.

"I'm not in a hurry." Qin Tiansei looked at her with curiosity. "Why didn't you run?"

"I can't run away." A trace of mockery flashed across Chen Mu Mu Qing's eyes as he said, "There's no need."

She was wronged in the first place, but when Shangguan Bai and Lu Jinfeng thoroughly investigate this matter, she would be free from all her crimes.

Hearing Chen Mu Mu's words, Qin Tianli's eyes moved, "How do you know you won't be able to escape?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't want to tell him more, so he replied, "I can't escape anyway, I didn't think I'd be stained with sewage."

In the darkness of the night, a cold glint flashed through Qin Tianshui's eyes before it turned into a faint smile. "You're quite smart."

"You're not bad either." Chen Mu Mu Mu played with his nails and urged him on. "Aren't you afraid of messing things up?"

At that moment, Qin Tianshui almost thought that she had figured out his identity and guessed what he was about to do. However, when he looked at her expression carefully, he realized that it was not the case.

She was just a bold and meticulous girl.

He shook his head and smiled, "Take good care of yourself then." "Little girl, staying in this cell by yourself is not a good thing. This cell has been devoid of sunlight for a long time, and has absorbed countless amounts of vengeful spirits from the dead. I'm afraid something bad might happen to her."

Ignoring Chen Mu Mu's expression, he left the cell with a hearty laugh.

Chen Mu stared at his back, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart.

How could there be a ghost in this world? He was clearly trying to scare her. If she was a bit more timid, she would have already lost her composure and scrambled after him to escape.

It was a good view to trick a little girl into committing a crime.

However …

Chen Mu Mu rubbed his chin as a dark glint flashed past his eyes.

Did he really want her to escape so badly?

She wasn't going to leave yet. She wanted to see what kind of tricks he was playing!

She shifted her body and changed her position to make herself more comfortable. However, when she glanced out of the corner of her eyes, she saw something shining with a dim golden light outside the cell.

That position seemed to be … In the place that Qin Tianli had just passed.

Was it something he dropped, or was it a trap?

Chen Mu Mu was conflicted for a moment before he walked over to pick up the glowing embroidered bag.

The quality of the pouch was very good. Under normal circumstances, it would not emit light, even if there was an object inside that could emit light. But when the brocade bag was opened, its contents were exposed in the air, causing a golden light to shine.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu took out the glowing object from his storage bag. It was a token of good quality, made from pure gold, and it didn't contain any impurities. On the back, there was a tiger-headed rune. The front was simple and grand, and there were only two big words on it — "Free from death".

Gold... Save from death... The Gold Medallion of Immunity?

Chen Mu's eyes sparkled as he threw the gold medal back into the pouch and hid it in a small hole in the cell. He then lazily leaned on the iron bars to rest his mind.

Regardless of what kind of death saving gold medal it was, regardless of what Qin Tiansei meant by dropping it under her eyes, she had already accepted it.

It was lost, and she had a bargain.

It was purposely lost. Who could prove that she was the one who took it?

Escaping the prison wasn't a small matter. Moreover, so many people had escaped at the same time that had alerted the authorities. Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't know how chaotic it was outside, so she stayed in her cell until the soldiers brought back the escaped prisoners one by one with darkened faces.

The noise continued until the next morning.

But the farce was far from over.

The Prefect followed behind the black-faced, middle-aged man with a pained expression. From time to time, the man would speak to the Prefect, and the Prefect would nod submissively, as if he were a god of pests.

How could they not be gods of plague? They had done so many bad things, and they just happened to encounter the moment the prisoners broke out of jail.

Chen Mu Mu was amused as he watched a group of people slowly enter the prison. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart.

Regardless of whether or not she was fooled by Lin Qiu'er to deal with her, for the sake of a personal grudge and not caring about the health and safety of so many people, the family of the Prefect was definitely not good stuff. Now that she saw that the Prefect was in trouble, she was naturally happy as well.

As he was happily enjoying himself, that waiter suddenly turned around and gave her a heavy look.

Chen Mu's heart went into a daze as he hurriedly averted his gaze, not daring to continue staring at the incoming person.

This Inspector General was not someone to be trifled with. Just a single glance from him had actually caused her heart to palpitate. It was as if he could see through her thoughts in an instant.

"A girl is actually locked up here?" The official turned his head and asked the magistrate, "What crime?"

"To reply the lord, yes, yes. They have ill intentions. By poisoning the food, they have poisoned many people who bought the food." The Prefect's body was trembling, and he was stuttering as he spoke, but he didn't dare to look the envoy in the eye. "Such a young, vicious young man, she's unheard-of." The Prefect's body was trembling, and he stuttered as he spoke, but he didn't dare meet the envoy's eyes.

"Oh, then did you use torture?" The messenger's face darkened as he asked with great interest.

"This … this official doesn't dare." "This official has always taken the teachings of His Majesty and His Majesty to heart. I don't dare to use torture to force myself on you without permission."

"Since you don't dare, why are you stuttering like this? It's clear that you're feeling guilty!" The envoy had an extraordinary eyesight. When he saw the prefect's appearance, he snorted and said, "I don't think that this lass is a person of great evil. You're so panicked that you're afraid of wrongdoings!"

"No, no, I hope the lord can see clearly!" The Prefect said in fear.

"Later, leave the case of this girl to me. I will decide whether there are any grievances or not." The messenger's words came to an end.

"But Milord, she …"

"Hmm?" The messenger raised his eyebrows. "Are you questioning my decision?"

"This official doesn't dare." The Prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead and submissively replied, "This official will hand over her case to sire later."

"That's good." The messenger nodded and passed by Chen Mu Mu Mu's cell, not wanting to look at her, so he continued to walk forward, "You must give me a proper explanation for last night's escape, since there were so many criminals who happened to be from Ying Tian Mountain."
