"The first point is that the silver needle lodged in your eye, Madam, has a slight bend at one-third from the tip. It's precisely this bend that caused the needle to change its trajectory upon entering your eyeball and hit the corner of your eye instead of piercing straight through your brain."
Li Shang paused for a moment, then hurriedly added:
"Of course, we must thank the culprit's blunder that allowed Madam to continue sitting here with us."
Li Hanyu glanced at the needle with lingering fear, realizing more vividly that she indeed had a brush with death, almost stepping with half a foot into the other world.
Li Hanyu gritted her teeth, choosing to ignore the disrespect in Li Shang's words, and said coldly:
"Continue."
Li Shang nodded and picked up a row of needles from the tray.
These silver needles were given to Li Bashan by Feng Mu when breaking out through the window. Li Bashan had discarded them against the wall, and Li Shang had people retrieve them one by one.
