Xiao Jinyan watched all of this with great interest, not in a hurry at all.

He wasn't in a hurry, which only made Yi furious.

This person is incredibly calm. He can handle such a pressing matter with such composure, maintaining an air of indifference. If it were anyone else, they would have been frantic by now.

"I...I...I'll talk about him..." The man swallowed nervously, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stammered, "He is...the last time he came to our village was on the 10th of last month. That day, the weather was sunny, it was a sunny day. He was wearing...wearing a black suit and black leather shoes."

"Was he alone, or did he bring entourage? If he brought entourage, how many did he bring?"

Yi pressed for an answer.

Xiao Shenxing's gaze lingered on her for a moment, his eyes sharp for a fleeting instant. Yi Yi sensed someone watching her and instinctively looked towards Xiao Shenxing, but his gaze quickly shifted away from her, staring at the other person as if nothing had happened.

“He…he…” The man shrank back and looked at Xiao Shenxing.

The latter narrowed his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a light tone, "This young mistress doesn't believe you. Just answer whatever she asks you. Why are you looking at me? My face doesn't show any answers. Just tell me exactly what happened that day. Anyway, apart from you and my elder brother, no one here knows what really happened that day."

Hearing that...

Yi frowned but didn't say anything.

The man uttered an "Ah," and continued hesitantly, "That day he... he didn't come alone; he brought an attendant. The one he always has with him. That's all I have to say."

As the man spoke, he glanced at Yi Yi, then lowered his head again.

Yi Yi said "Oh," and asked, "What was the weather like that day? What clothes was he wearing? When was the last time he visited your village?"

The man paused for a moment, then replied, "That day, that day was, it was a sunny day. He was wearing a black suit, and black, black leather shoes. The last time he came to our village was, it was the 10th of last month."

"Then let me ask you again, did he go alone that day, or did he bring entourage, and how many? What clothes did he wear that day? Was it sunny or rainy?"

“He…he…” The man paused again, this time for a longer time. “He was wearing a suit that day, black, black leather shoes. It was dark, and it was raining. He had…he had an entourage.”

"Really? Was it a heavy rain or a light rain that day? Answer me, quickly!"

Yi Yi's eyes narrowed sharply, gripping them tightly.

"Heavy...heavy rain." In his nervousness, the man blurted out.

These words caused an uproar.

The man's statements were clearly inconsistent, which greatly diminished the credibility of his words.

"Alright, I've finished asking my questions." Yi Yi smiled slightly and continued, "I think you should explain why your words are incoherent. If it's really as you say, that you remember every time he came to your village so clearly, why did you even get a weather question wrong?"

The man then realized what was happening and stammered "I...I...I..." several times without being able to explain himself. He looked at Xiao Shenxing for help.
