Wang Renping tossed over, Yang Ce casually slipped it into the pocket of his overcoat and said, "They say Wang Renping is a devoted son, and it is quite true—for his grandparents' sake, he will do anything." "I have done as you asked. What exactly do you want? Just say it!" Wang Renping knew that since Yang Ce had abducted his grandparents, there must be conditions, so he asked directly, "And please tell me, how are my grandparents now?" "Good, very straightforward. I like dealing with straightforward people." Yang Ce was fairly satisfied with Wang Renping's attitude. "If you stay this straightforward, then your grandparents will come to no harm." Wang Renping's expression shifted slightly. He knew that Yang Ce's words meant he would surely want him to do something; so long as what he did satisfied him, his grandparents would be kept safe—and what his words left unsaid was that if he did not cooperate, his grandparents would not be safe... Yang Ce's words carried a hidden meaning; how could Wang Renping fail to hear it? "What do you want me to do?" Hearing that his grandparents were for now unharmed, Wang Renping felt somewhat reassured. "Although I hold a lever over you, I am still not quite at ease about you." As he spoke, Yang Ce took a small box from his pocket and stepped up before Wang Renping. "What are you doing?" Wang Renping was baffled. "Open your mouth!" As he spoke, Yang Ce's hand shot out, seized Wang Renping's cheek, pried his mouth open, and tipped out a gu-poison pill he had refined himself, feeding it into Wang Renping's mouth. Because Yang Ce was gripping his cheeks, the gu-poison pellet slipped neatly down Wang Renping's throat and into his stomach. Wang Renping had not expected Yang Ce to move so fast—the whole action was one continuous motion—and by the time he realized what had happened, the pill was already in his stomach! Wang Renping's face drained of color. "What did you feed me?" "Nothing much." Yang Ce smiled faintly. "Heard of gu poison? If not, no matter—you know the Three Corpse Brain Pills from Jin Yong's novels, don't you? Mine is much the same. It acts once every twenty-four hours; if you do not take the antidote in time to suppress it, then you will never see your grandparents again." Wang Renping's face changed drastically at these words, and he glared at Yang Ce in fury. But the next moment he regained his composure; at a time like this, no amount of rage would help. Yang Ce had seized him by the throat, holding his grandparents in his grip, leaving Wang Renping no choice! "The thing I want you to do should, barring accidents, be finished within twenty-four hours. When it is done, I will give you the antidote and let you be reunited with your grandparents. But if the thing goes wrong, I will reunite you all the same..." Here Yang Ce paused. Wang Renping looked astonished, somewhat at a loss. "I will reunite you in hell," Yang Ce said coldly.
