"Prince?"
Wei Dongling's face paled instantly. She grabbed Old Su beside her and quickly dashed towards the window.
Uncle Li and the others were shocked. They all stood up, but one by one, they clutched their stomachs and slowly collapsed.
The sudden change scared Cui Huan pale. She cried out in horror, "What's going on?"
Wei Dongling felt a dull pain in her stomach. Her steps faltered, and her face turned ugly. "No good. The wine must have been tampered with."
When everyone raised their glasses just now, Wei Dongling stared at the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish on the table and drooled with greed. She only took a small sip of the wine, but now her abdomen was starting to cramp.
Except for Cui Huan and Old Su, who didn't drink any wine and used tea instead, everyone else had finished their glasses. Now they had all collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Wei Dongling was so angry that her face turned black.
Even though Millionaire Lin had been extremely careful when booking the private room in the restaurant, using an alias, and the group had been cautious when gathering, taking a detour, they were still targeted by the prince's men.
They even poisoned the wine! This prince was really extremely insidious!
Wei Dongling's stomach cramped again and again. The pain made her face as white as a sheet. She gritted her teeth and said to Cui Huan, "The prince is after me! I'll leave first. You find a way to save them!" With that, she hugged Old Su's thin waist and forced herself to climb onto the windowsill.
Just as she climbed out of the window, she saw a woman in black strolling on the glazed tiles outside.
It was her again!
The person coming was the female killer in the prince's hands. That day on the street, she had heartlessly thrown the little boy under the horse's hooves to frame someone. At night, when there was trouble in the gambling house, she had appeared in time and fought with Cui Huan, launching one deadly move after another.
Wei Dongling's heart sank.
On the long street outside, there was a group of men in black rushing towards Pengcheng Restaurant. The woman in front of her was not weak in martial arts. Blocking the window, she and Old Su were like lambs walking into a tiger's den.
The woman in black stared sinisterly at Wei Dongling and Old Su as they climbed out of the window. She took out the dagger in her hand and pounced on them.
Behind them, Cui Huan was quick-witted. She jumped onto the windowsill and protected Wei Dongling and Old Su behind her. She shouted across the road at the Yunzhu Courtyard, "Xiao Wu! Go and call my senior sister to come and save people!" With that, she stepped on the glazed tiles outside the window and fought with the female killer in black.
Xiao Wu was the waiter in the Yunzhu Courtyard. A few days ago, he had still been following Cui Huan, teaching her how to play mahjong. At this moment, he was leaning against the door of the Yunzhu Courtyard, looking at the large number of men in black in front of him in a daze. When he heard the call, he looked up and saw that Cui Huan was in great danger.
Xiao Wu didn't dare to be negligent at all. He ran as fast as he could to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the back to find Miss Ruochen.
Wei Dongling endured the pain in her abdomen. She hugged Old Su and rushed into the next private room. Ignoring the stunned looks of the people at the table, she quickly fled out of the room. She also whispered and told him, "Grandpa, the prince's target is me. You hide yourself quietly later." After saying this, the pain in her abdomen made cold sweat break out on her forehead.
In the main hall on the second floor of Pengcheng Restaurant, a crowd of men in black surrounded them. Wei Dongling acted according to the situation and quickly turned around and ran towards the third floor.
A restaurant waiter immediately stopped her and said, "The third floor is for receiving distinguished guests. You are not allowed to barge in!" Before he could finish his words, Wei Dongling had already brushed past him.
The waiter was about to get up and chase after her when he saw a crowd of men in black following that woman and running up the stairs. Seeing that there were so many of them, the waiter didn't dare to stop them. He could only cry and shout behind them, "You must not disturb the distinguished guests!"
No one paid any attention to him. The group of men in black followed closely.
Wei Dongling was extremely anxious. She stuffed Old Su under the table and instructed, "Grandpa, don't act rashly. I'll lead them away!"
Old Su grabbed her wrist. His eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head vigorously.
Wei Dongling was anxious. "Grandpa, I'm fine. My dad taught me light kung fu. They can't catch up with me! I'll come back to find you later!" With that, she quickly put down the curtain on the table to hide Old Su tightly. Then she got up and ran away.
"Stop!" The men in black swarmed after her.
Wei Dongling endured the severe pain in her abdomen. She ran as fast as she could and fled straight towards the wooden window by the wall.
Just as Wei Dongling was about to reach the wooden window, a person jumped out from the corner beside her. Holding a long sword, he pointed it straight at the center of her eyebrows.
"Prince?" Wei Dongling couldn't stop her steps. She quickly changed direction and plunged headfirst into the slightly ajar wooden door beside her.
The prince followed closely. A crowd of men in black followed behind him.
In the room, Wei Dongling casually picked up a flower pot and threw it at the prince's head.
The prince quickly tilted his head to dodge. He narrowly avoided it, but the white jade crown on his head was caught by the flower branch and fell off, shattering into two halves on the ground.
The prince's long black hair, as smooth as satin, fell loose. Under the light, his facial features were quite delicate. He looked extremely displeased. He glanced at the jade crown on the ground, and his eyes were even colder. He twirled the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Wei Dongling one after another.
"Who is it?" A waiter in the room heard the noise and looked up. He saw Wei Dongling running straight towards him. The waiter immediately drew out the long knife in his hand and angrily said, "Who dares to be so presumptuous!" Then he saw the disheveled prince behind Wei Dongling. The waiter was instantly stunned. After carefully recognizing him, he asked in shock, "Your... Your Highness the Prince?"
The prince closely followed Wei Dongling. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the waiter. He angrily said, "Catch her!"
The waiter obeyed the order and reached out to grab her. Wei Dongling dodged to the side and kicked open the door of the inner room. Then she rushed in hurriedly.
The waiter was so scared that his face turned pale.
The prince ignored him and directly chased after Wei Dongling and rushed in.
On the delicate table in the room, there were several delicious dishes. There were two people sitting opposite each other at the table.
Wei Dongling was in a hurry. When she looked up and saw them, she was instantly stunned. She knew both of them!
One was Inspector Yu, whom she had met once, the nominal father of Yu Zixi!
The other was Minister Rong of the Ministry of War, who had been chased and killed on the night of the Qixi Festival and had been forced to swim in the lake with her!
The two ministers looked up and saw Wei Dongling barge in. They also showed shocked expressions on their faces.
"Miss Wei?" Minister Rong recognized her. Then he also saw the furious prince behind Wei Dongling, who was chasing and killing her.
"Minister Rong?" Wei Dongling quickly ran towards him. She secretly thought it was bad. What if the prince was bold enough not to spare Minister Rong either? What should she do?
The prince's jade crown had been broken. He was extremely angry at the moment. He also thought about how Wei Dongling had threatened him twice with a dagger by grabbing his hair in Xingshan, which not only made him lose face but also saved Yu Zixi!
Thinking of this, the prince was so angry that he was almost bursting with rage. Seeing that Wei Dongling had nowhere to escape in front of her, the prince stabbed at the back of her head with his sword.
"Be careful!" Minister Rong was quick-witted. He quickly protected Wei Dongling behind him.
Only then did the prince look up at the person beside Wei Dongling. When he saw who it was, his face instantly changed. But it was too late to take back his sword. It stabbed straight at him.
