Chapter 207: Prying open her scumbag father's mouth, intending to give her to Master Shi.

Xia Jianyong never wants to experience that kind of pain again in his life!

Not to mention, in Xia Yuhuan's description, the pain would become more and more intense and severe.

He didn't want to endure the pain any longer!

Xia Yuhuan blinked and said, "Are you sure you don't want to experience the pain a second time? What if I was just kidding you?"

Xia Jianyong was initially a little apprehensive, thinking that perhaps it would only be a painful blow.

Xia Yuhuan might be lying to him.

But seeing Xia Yuhuan like this, he immediately gave up any hope.

"Give me the antidote, and I'll cooperate in answering your questions. Hurry up, stop dawdling."

Xia Jianyong was extremely worried about the passage of time.

He was afraid that if Xia Yuhuan delayed any longer, another five minutes would pass.

Xia Yuhuan pouted and said, "This is really boring. It seems you're not as stubborn as you think."

Xia Jianyong: "..."

He's already been arrested, what can he possibly say?

The reason why some issues were not explained immediately was that I thought I could keep them for future reference.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to protect himself, but he was also drugged by Xia Yuhuan and suffered such inhuman pain.

If he had known this would happen, he would have confessed long ago.

Xia Yuhuan stepped forward with the medicine.

In front of Xia Jianyong, he broke it in half and fed one half to him.

Xia Jianyong stared in shock, swallowing the medicine in his mouth whole.

Then he roared, "Why did you only give me half of the antidote?"

"Xia Yuhuan, are you playing me?"

Thinking of the pain he felt when the drug took effect, Xia Jianyong shuddered uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, half the antidote is enough to suppress it for a long time."

"As long as you cooperate with me and explain the problem, I will give you the remaining half of the antidote."

"After all, what if you change your mind and become dishonest if I give you the antidote directly?"

Xia Jian was incredibly brave.

However, Xia Yuhuan's apprehension was not unfounded; it was indeed possible.

He had nothing to say about it.

He could only say coldly, "Ask whatever you want."

Xia Yuhuan asked him, "If you hadn't succeeded in getting me married into the Chi family in place of someone else and sold me for a good price, who would you have planned to sell me to?"

Xia Jianyong was taken aback; he hadn't expected Xia Yuhuan to ask that question.

"Why do you ask that?" Xia Jianyong asked, puzzled.

Xia Yuhuan lazily raised her eyes: "I'm asking you, not you asking me. Just answer."

Xia Jianyong was speechless for a moment, then said, "I haven't decided yet. Perhaps we can let you stay in the Xia family and enjoy your life while waiting for the next opportunity for a marriage alliance."

“You’re lying,” Xia Yuhuan said coldly.

Xia Jianyong is a shrew; he'll only want to use her for personal gain, and there's no way he'd let her enjoy a life of luxury.

Unless, after enjoying this happiness, she can be sold for an even higher price.

"Xia Jianyong, it seems you haven't suffered enough. Well then, just wait and see. Once the effects of half the antidote wear off, you'll know the pain and you'll naturally speak up."

Then, Xia Yuhuan crossed her arms and ignored him.

Xia Jianyong panicked upon seeing this.

“I’m telling the truth, believe me, then keep asking,” Xia Jianyong urged.

Xia Yuhuan just stared at him coldly.

Unable to bear her silent stare, Xia Jianyong finally said, "Perhaps I will give you to Master Shi in exchange for benefits."

Xia Yuhuan perked up immediately upon hearing the name "Master Shi".

She asked, "Who is Master Shi? Why would you want to give me to him in exchange for benefits? And what benefits could you possibly gain in return?"

“Master Shi is a peddler; he has a nationwide transportation network. I used to follow him around, doing reselling and making a profit from the price difference,” Xia Jianyong said.

"But because there are local bullies in every place, it's not safe to go anywhere without the network of connections that Master Shi has built."

"At that point, forget about making money; losing money will be very easy."

Now that he had already spoken, Xia Jianyong didn't try to hide anything anymore, and answered whatever Xia Yuhuan asked.

Xia Yuhuan asked him, "Are you already paving this way? Are you ready to send me to Master Shi's bed in exchange for benefits?"

"Is it because I married into the Chi family that you gave up on this plan?"

Xia Jianyong said numbly, "You marrying into the Chi family is one reason, and Master Shi saying he doesn't like you and didn't agree is another reason."

Xia Yuhuan frowned upon hearing this: If Master Shi didn't take a liking to her, then why did he agree to her request after Chi Yanzhou died and the original owner left the Chi family?

Is it because he's some kind of pervert who doesn't like the clean and innocent original owner of the body, but insists that the original owner has the title of a married woman, so that he feels more attracted to her?

"What's Master Shi's name? Do you have any more specific information?" Xia Yuhuan asked again.

Xia Jianyong shook his head: "No. Master Shi has always been very mysterious. I only know that he is a master in the art of walking around. He's getting old, so I don't know anything else."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan clenched her hands tightly.

He's old... It seems he's the one who killed the original owner of this body!

Now she also knows one thing: this Master Shi's surname is Chi!

Although there were only two very limited pieces of information, Xia Yuhuan was still very happy.

At least they're not completely ignorant anymore.

The key point is that Xia Jianyong knows about Master Shi, and her father and Uncle Yan must know about him too.

Now she'll have a direction when she asks them for help with the investigation!

Xia Yuhuan never thought she was particularly capable or that she could handle everything.

All she knows is medicine; she doesn't understand or have the ability to do anything else.

Leave professional matters to professionals. Although Chi Shaokang and his team are not professional private investigators, they possess investigative skills honed in the military.

In terms of investigating people, they were definitely superior to private detectives of later generations.

It would definitely be more effective for her to have them investigate than to try to do it herself.

Xia Yuhuan asked several more questions, and after confirming that Xia Jianyong's understanding of Master Shi was limited to this and not very deep, she had no choice but to give up.

Then she opened the door and called Yan Hu in.

"Uncle Yan, please come in."

Yan Hu asked in surprise, "Have you asked everything clearly?"

Xia Yuhuan shook her head slightly: "You can ask me whatever you want. With me here, Xia Jianyong won't lie."

She wasn't a professional in interrogation; she felt that asking only the questions on the slip of paper might leave something out.

It would be different if Yan Hu came in and asked himself; he would definitely be able to find out everything he wanted to ask.

"Okay." Yan Hu didn't ask any more questions and sat down directly opposite Xia Jianyong to begin the interrogation.

Just as Xia Yuhuan had predicted, Xia Jianyong cooperated remarkably well.

No matter what Yan Hu asked, he answered fluently.

To confirm the truth, Yan Hu would occasionally jump back to ask about the previous topic.

Xia Jianyong gave the same answer as before.

After a round of interrogation, Yan Hu learned several more pieces of information that Xia Jianyong had tried so hard to hide.
