Ye Qilan hesitated to pick up his chopsticks, causing Du Qingyu's plans to fail, and forcing her to think of another solution.
She sent in two tall and burly men, intending to force Ye Qilan to drink the drugged tea. Unfortunately, Ye Qilan was skilled and, even starving, managed to knock the two men to the ground.
If she hadn't noticed the situation was off and locked the door early from outside, Ye Qilan would have escaped by now.
Looking at the two men on the ground, Ye Qilan smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, did Xiao Ji instruct you to kidnap me?"
The two men exchanged glances, remaining silent.
Ye Qilan walked slowly to one of the men, grabbed one of his arms, jerked it, and the man let out a shriek, his arm dislocated.
The other man, witnessing this, broke out in a cold sweat, terrified. He wanted to flee, but the space was limited, leaving no escape route.
Ye Qilan approached him, repeated the same trick, and this man's arm was forcibly broken as well.
