Chapter 855: Chapter 849: Trapped in the Carriage

"Is this guy not dead?" Xiao Jinyan exclaimed in surprise.

But as he saw Jin Zijin’s increasingly ugly expression, he quickly shut his mouth and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll definitely catch this naughty grandson."

Jin Zijin went back to Beijing alone in a carriage. He had lost so miserably, not because his skills were much worse than Yu Jizi’s but because he had almost drowned before and had not fully recovered, compounded by the boat ride.

Fearing they would worry, he had not told anyone that he was not only a non-swimmer but also seasick.

His right hand had been injured by Yu Jizi, and the prognosis was not optimistic. With his only good left hand, he picked up a cloth bag.

This was what Searcy had dropped when she was captured by Yu Jizi. Xiao Jinyan had picked it up and given it back to him.

He said that he heard from Yu Jizi that the woman was a descendant of a Ghost Doctor, her body laden with poisons—a bag filled with various kinds of poisons—so he brought it back for Jin Zijin.

Jin Zijin took it out to see. Indeed, it was full of medicines, but he did not closely examine which were poisonous and which were not.

As for Searcy’s identity, he, of course, knew. Initially, he had helped in the investigation.

...

Gu Youyou and Searcy had both been taken away. Gui Yunxi originally could have left, but he decided to stay.

Yu Jizi spared him because he was a coachman, which was just as well.

In the sealed carriage, Gu Youyou and Searcy sat opposite each other, shrouded in darkness, unable to see anything.

Gu Youyou reached out to feel around, but Searcy swatted her hand away.

"What are you doing? Where are you touching? Do you want to scare someone to death in this pitch darkness?" Searcy said irritably.

Gu Youyou sighed and said, "I was trying to feel where you are."

"Where else could I be? I’m sitting right across from you," Searcy replied grumpily.

Gu Youyou thought that Yu Jizi must have been prepared in advance with this special carriage. Locking them inside a pitch-dark carriage, even requiring them to cover their eyes when relieving themselves, what was this meant to imply?

She had seen similar scenarios on television, usually meant to prevent them from remembering the route they had taken.

But Gui Yunxi was driving the carriage outside, which meant... in Yu Jizi’s eyes, he was as good as dead, very likely to be silenced by murder.

Gu Youyou was shocked again and whispered to Searcy, "We need to find a way to escape."

"Do you have a plan?" Searcy asked.

"You always thought yourself clever," Gu Youyou retorted. "Shouldn’t you be the one coming up with a plan?"

"No way!" Searcy said. "That old pervert is always following us. What good are plans when we can’t outrun him with our legs? Besides, I lost all my possessions. I have nothing on me now."

Gu Youyou was frustrated and exclaimed, "Then why did you even bother? I thought you came up with some plan."

"I didn’t want to be so disgraceful; I had to try something," Searcy stated loudly.

"Recklessly, you got the coachman involved too. We are useful, blindfolded. Gui Yunxi, after finishing driving, will be useless; he might definitely be doomed to be silenced by murder."

"Serves him right for following," Searcy muttered darkly.

Actually, she had already given him the antidote before heading to Fusang Island; only the marks on his arm hadn’t faded so quickly.

He had been so ungrateful as to head to Fusang Island demanding the antidote, even volunteering to that old pervert to be a coachman, which was utterly stupid.

After a while, Searcy suddenly began to bang on the carriage walls, yelling loudly, "Stop the carriage—stop, I need to pee."
