"So, Miss Du, should I reveal your identity, or will you tell me yourself?"

These words completely baffled Xu Keke; she almost thought she had traveled back in time again.

This was the first question the original owner of this body was asked after being imprisoned in her previous life. However, the original owner's head was covered at the time, so she didn't see the man in front of her.

If she hadn't taken action, Xu Keke could easily explain herself now. But her heroic actions just now have made the matter somewhat complicated.

“I think there’s a misunderstanding between us. I received a message from the teahouse at home this morning, asking me to come over. As soon as I arrived, I ran into your people.”

This explanation was not convincing, so Xu Keke did not hide anything and told the man about her need to find the manager and her agreement with the teahouse.

Clearly, he didn't believe it. "Why are you looking for the former steward of the Du family?"

“I know you might not believe me even if I tell you this, but I really do want to find out the cause of my mother’s death.”

"cause of death?"

The man's expression told Xu Keke that he thought she was making things up. Ironically, she could understand him, because if she were in his shoes, she would also think he was making things up.

"Here's the thing, I've always suspected the cause of my mother's death, but I live in the countryside and have no way to investigate. I came to the city this time hoping to find the former manager and ask if there are any clues."

Xu Keke had tried her best to be honest and fair, but the man's face showed no sign of softening.

"How about I have someone test just how tough Miss Du's mouth really is? Where should we start?"

As soon as the door opened, screams erupted from outside. In his previous life, when the original owner of this body was here, he would often hear such chilling screams.

This bastard wanted to use torture, and people lined up outside to bring in charcoal braziers, wooden clamps, whips... Xu Keke actually thought, "What ancient torture instruments. They seem to come from a different era than that row of heavy machine guns."

After thinking about this, Xu Keke mentally cursed herself half to death. Any one of these things would be excruciatingly painful on her.

"You just said you know my identity, so may I ask, what do you think my identity is? Could you give me a chance to explain? Or could you show me the evidence? I really believe there's a misunderstanding between us."

Sir, although I don't know who you are, please believe me.

You see, you're definitely looking for the person you're looking for. Although I don't know who you're looking for, you certainly don't want to continue in the wrong direction. Because it's very possible that the person you're looking for is laughing heartily at you for having grabbed the wrong person.

Xu Keke swallowed hard and looked nervously at the man.

The man was amused by her words. At least, to Xu Keke, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, as if he were smiling. What did he mean by that?

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, Miss Bluebird."
