CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 361: A GENTLEMAN DOES NOT STAND UNDER A PRECARIOUS WALL

"Despicable!"

The mysterious stranger couldn’t enter through the window. To avoid the mixed powder tossed by Yuan Bao, he closed his eyes and held his breath. If it were only this, relying on his sharp senses, he might still have managed to enter. But the hit from the bee tail needle and the toxin invading his body dulled his usual acuity.

As a result, the mysterious stranger missed by just a little, crashed against the window frame, and fell to the ground beneath it.

Mei Jiu swiftly followed up and dislocated the mysterious stranger’s arms with the quickest of speed.

Once the mysterious stranger was subdued, the secret agents of the Sound Listening Bureau, led by Shen Xiao, also dashed into the courtyard.

"Is the village chief alright?"

Shen Xiao arrived with his team, immediately inquiring about Yuan Bao’s situation.

"The village chief is unharmed!"

Mei Jiu glanced at Shen Xiao and the others, who had arrived a bit late, with a truly unpleasant complexion.

In that very moment earlier, had it not been for Yuan Bao’s few clever tricks, by the time Shen Xiao and his team dared to come, Yuan Bao probably would have already fallen into the hands of the mysterious stranger.

Of course, Mei Jiu’s cold demeanor wasn’t solely directed at Shen Xiao and his men but also at herself.

If anything had happened to Yuan Bao, she, as Yuan Bao’s protector, could not shirk the blame.

"Tie him up!"

After confirming Yuan Bao was safe, Shen Xiao immediately ordered his subordinates to seize the mysterious stranger.

"Sir, he’s been poisoned!"

The secret agent who approached observed the condition of the mysterious stranger and quickly reported to Shen Xiao.

Mei Jiu tossed out a small porcelain bottle and said, "Make him drink it!"

The bee tail needle carried poison, and the antidote was not only carried by Yuan Bao but also by Mei Jiu, Nanny Xue, and others.

The reason for this was mainly because Yuan Bao was quite afraid of dying.

What if one accidentally injures oneself with such a poisoned weapon?

Therefore, a sufficient supply of the antidote must be prepared.

Shen Xiao obtained the antidote and quickly administered it to the mysterious stranger.

Then, before the mysterious stranger revived, Shen Xiao completed an inspection of him.

He pulled out a fake tooth equipped with a poison sac and searched out numerous sundries from the stranger’s body, which included various poisons and concealed weapons.

Frankly speaking, had this mysterious stranger launched a surprise attack, it would have been uncertain who would come out alive.

Unfortunately, first, he was hindered by Mei Jiu’s attack, bearing injuries, and then encountered Yuan Bao, who played without honor, leading to his downfall.

"Any discoveries?"

Mei Jiu stood by, watching Shen Xiao frisk the mysterious stranger, waiting until he finished before voicing her inquiry.

"None!"

Shen Xiao shook his head lightly, "He doesn’t carry any items that could reveal his identity."

"Not a single bit?"

Mei Jiu furrowed her brows slightly.

Shen Xiao continued shaking his head and said, "Both the concealed weapons and poisons on him are quite ordinary."

"However, in the hands of the Sound Listening Bureau, they will certainly extract all the knowledge he has!"

The Sound Listening Bureau, being Daxia’s most renowned secret organization, naturally possessed its distinctive abilities.

At least in the art of extracting confessions, the Sound Listening Bureau had a real expertise.

The mysterious stranger regained consciousness and was about to speak when Shen Xiao knocked him out with a slap.

Then, Shen Xiao ordered his men to take the mysterious stranger away swiftly.

After the people from the Sound Listening Bureau left, Mei Jiu returned indoors to apologize to Yuan Bao.

Being Yuan Bao’s protector yet allowing Yuan Bao to be endangered was Mei Jiu’s failure.

"Sister Mei, please get up!"

Seeing Mei Jiu half kneeling on the ground, Yuan Bao leaped off the bed and pulled her up.

"Where did you make any mistake?"

"It’s all my fault!"

"Tomorrow, let’s go back to the city!"

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
