Novel Full Chapter 1822 - 1822 Almost Got Caught
1822 Almost Got Caught
A long fine silver needle could be seen on the tissue. When Shangguan Hou saw it, he promptly knew its owner’s identity.
Inside the family, other than Shangguan Yu, only Shangguan Tong would use silver needles as a weapon.
If it were her, it was understandable for Liang Qiu to have met his match.
After all, Shangguan Tong always liked applying poison to her silver needles.
Liang Qiu’s body happened to be medically altered. Unless it was a lethal poison, he had a degree of immunity against poison.
After thinking to himself, Shangguan Hou picked up the silver needle in Liang Qiu’s hand and held it to his nose for a whiff.
He quickly came up with a conclusion. A strong anesthetic was applied to the silver needle. Even though it was not lethal, the target would be paralyzed for a while.
“Then, I should be glad it wasn’t a lethal poison, right?” Liang Qiu smiled ambiguously.
Cold sweat kept trickling down the security team chief’s head. He lowered his head and kept apologizing.
Shangguan Hou gathered his thoughts and asked Liang Qiu. “How did you confirm the target had escaped?”
“My pass.”
Liang Qiu did not look happy at all and his voice sounded murderous.
It felt as though he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
The doubts in Shangguan Hou’s heart disappeared on hearing this. He stopped having any suspicions about Liang Qiu.
Shangguan Tong had escaped and it was quite a pity.
His eyes landed on the computer again as he quickly composed himself slightly.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yu was still around.
As long as he had her under control, Shangguan Tong would naturally show up in good time.
He could not let Shangguan Yu escape today.
A sinister look emerged in Shangguan Hou’s eyes. He paused briefly and decided to not go hard on the security team chief. He said, “Can you come with me along with a team of men?”
The security team chief looked at Shangguan Hou gratefully. “Anything you need.”
Shangguan Hou nodded and stopped talking.
Everyone hurriedly gave way. Yang Yi stood right at the back with his head lowered. He also took a step back.
Shangguan Hou strode out quickly. As he walked past Yang Yi, he saw his face from the corner of his eye. He suddenly halted veering his head to look at Yang Yi.
He looked at him suspiciously.
Yang Yi’s hand tightened as he placed it on his belly. He had done his utmost to keep a low profile. He did not expect Shangguan Hou to take notice of him.
He was wearing a realistic mask, so it was normal that no one felt anything different. However, Shangguan Hou was accustomed to wearing human skin masks, so he could probably notice it with just one look.
Ever since he entered the base using this disguise, he kept avoiding Shangguan Hou.
Yang Yi did not know what to do. He had managed to avoid the retina scanner at the control room entrance, but from the looks of it, Shangguan Hou was going to expose him now.
As the atmosphere intensified, Liang Qiu suddenly kicked a tech department staff by the side and spoke fiercely, “What are you waiting for? The base is turning into some market where anyone can enter. Are you waiting for us to get bombed again?”
With the interruption, the staff promptly scattered and went back to their seats again.
Yang Yi’s tightly clenched fingers loosened. He calmly walked back to the computer.
Even though Shangguan Hou got distracted, he remained suspicious, so his eyes remained on Yang Yi as the latter moved.
At this moment, the security team chief received the latest report from one of his men through the mike. He said to Shangguan Hou, “My men have already crossed paths with the intruder.
Shangguan Hou immediately veered his eyes. He disregarded everything and turned to stride out quickly.
