Chapter 590: Chapter 587: Fighting Poison with Poison

Xiao Tian didn’t finish what he was saying, and Melinda, seeing Xiao Tian’s defeated look, burst into laughter: ”Looks like you failed.”

”Wait!” Seeing Melinda’s schadenfreude, Xiao Tian suddenly had an idea: ”You wouldn’t have just stayed here and gone nowhere, would you?”

Melinda thought for a moment and nodded: ”Although it’s not entirely accurate, it’s basically like that!”

Seeing Xiao Tian’s livid face, Melinda asked again: ”Coming back so late, did you go through half the town?”

Xiao Tian nodded with a gloomy face, but Melinda asked in surprise: ”So efficient? Was everyone cooperative?”

”Bang!” After a sound of a hand slapping the table, a police badge appeared in front of Melinda, making her nod in sudden realization with an expression of understanding.

Seeing Xiao Tian show signs of life, Melinda also toned down her playful demeanor and said: ”Alright, alright, no more jokes! Actually, I had a huge gain on my end, and I basically covered half the town.”

”Basically?” Xiao Tian asked in confusion, what kind of logic is this?

”Yeah!” Melinda said as if it were obvious: ”For example, if there are fifty households on a street, you only need to visit ten to know most of what’s going on.”

”Because, as a neighbor, if you visit one house, the information you get won’t be much different from the ones next door!” Melinda’s beautiful eyes blinked: ”Is there a problem?”

Xiao Tian was dumbfounded for a long moment, then slapped his own forehead, such a simple truth, how did he not think of it?

Could it be true that being clever all your life makes you a fool for a moment?!

Seeing Xiao Tian on the verge of collapse, Melinda’s eyes slowly widened and then she burst into laughter while patting the table and clutching her belly: ”You, you weren’t going house to house... hahaha!”

Xiao Tian watched the person in front of him laugh until tears came out, the shop assistant next to them looked displeased and wanted to intervene, but when he saw the police badge on the table, he quickly backed away.

Finally, as Melinda caught her breath from her laughing fit, Xiao Tian gently tapped the table and said: ”That’s enough, let’s get to the point!”

Only then did Melinda begin to recount her experience, although she still let out a laugh or two occasionally, making Xiao Tian’s face grow increasingly sullen.

However, a beautiful piece ruined by yourself offers no grounds to blame!

...

According to the young girl, she overheard those foreigners talking inadvertently. Although she didn’t understand the foreign language, she clearly picked up a few words.

Moreover, because these words were spoken in broken Huaxia Language by foreigners, they left a deep impression on the girl.

The words were Pisces, inheritance, Kunlun Gate.

Hearing this, Melinda was slightly disappointed because the girl hadn’t mentioned the keyword Five Elements Crystal, not even a single Five Elements or crystal.

Still unwilling to give up, Melinda attempted a second inquiry, and it was through this second inquiry that she obtained useful information...

Lately, a large number of people have been heading to Kunlun Mountain to hunt for treasure, and the treasure they seek is precisely the target of Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan’s trip to Kunlun—the Five Elements Crystal.

Of course, the girl’s answers weren’t that precise, but with the bits and pieces of information she provided, Melinda pieced together the answer as the Five Elements Crystal.

Then, without stopping for a moment, Melinda began visiting and investigating based on these fragmented messages, finally arriving at a general outline.

And based on this outline, the path forward became very clear!

By simply following those treasure hunters, one could naturally find Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan.

...

”So, we just need to follow the latest batch of treasure hunters up the mountain!” Melinda said lightly.

”Impressive!” Xiao Tian couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: ”You really are a genius!”

Melinda didn’t accept the compliment, snorting: ”And who was just complaining about me sitting here drinking tea and doing nothing?”

Xiao Tian coughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject: ”Boss, give us a room!”

In no time, the shop assistant, dressed in ancient costume from the morning, came over and said apologetically: ”Sorry, there are many tourists recently, we only have one room left!”

Xiao Tian and Melinda exchanged a glance, and the former couldn’t help but ask: ”There aren’t any wolves here, right?”

The shop assistant was taken aback, then replied: ”You’re joking; we’re quite far from the mountains, so how could there be wolves?”

Melinda glanced at Xiao Tian, looking displeased, and said sarcastically: ”Why are you so eager for wolves to show up?”

”Perhaps there weren’t any before, but since you just mentioned wolves, they might show up soon!” Xiao Tian said confidently.

Upon hearing this, both Melinda and the shop assistant sneered, the former even said: ”If wolves really appear, then I’ll...”

”Awoo...”

As Melinda looked on in disbelief, Xiao Tian helplessly glanced at the radio that howled like a wolf, took her hand, and led her up the stairs, leaving the shop assistant in disarray in the wind...

”Bin, do you think Mr. Ren is in any condition to go up the mountain with us?” a subordinate asked cautiously, glancing at Wang Bin, whose face was as dark as if water could drip from it.

”What do you think?” Wang Bin was displeased with his subordinate’s redundant question and snapped: ”Since you’re so concerned about Mr. Ren, why don’t you carry him up?”

The subordinate shook his head hastily, cursing himself silently; what business did he have caring whether Ren Wenshan came or not?

But no one noticed that at this moment, Ren Wenshan, lying in bed, had moved his fingers slightly.

Wang Bin was extremely frustrated with Ren Wenshan’s untimely failure at such a crucial moment, although it wasn’t entirely his fault, he was still deeply unsatisfied with him.

They couldn’t stop the entire world from speaking just because of his problem, could they?

Moreover, Wang Bin vaguely felt that Ren Wenshan’s affliction seemed to be spreading.

Especially in the past two days, the reaction was more pronounced, and now when he hears those two words, although he doesn’t react as strongly as Ren Wenshan, who would pass out immediately, he still feels pangs of pain at his temples.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, until Wang Bin finally gave a cold order: ”Bring me the recorder!” He had made up his mind; whether Ren Wenshan was feigning or real, this time he’d thoroughly cure this problem.

If gentle methods like psychological counseling don’t work, then he’d resort to violent treatment with poison counteracting poison, let him hear those two words to his heart’s content!
