"You're awake? Then stop talking nonsense and tell me everything you know."

At this moment, Xiang Wan was sitting on a rock beside a pool of water, pinching a man's vital point with her hand, her tone indifferent and devoid of any personal emotion.

The person she was choking was the assassin she had been tracking earlier. She didn't know what method he had used, but while wiping his wounds, she accidentally splashed some water on his face, and a white spot appeared. Out of curiosity, Xiang Wan scooped up a handful of water with leaves and splashed it on his face. Then came the moment of witnessing a miracle: the man's face, which had initially been dark with thick eyebrows, slowly transformed into that of a handsome young man with fair skin. His skin became whiter, his features more refined, and even his lips thinner. Upon closer inspection, he was completely different from the person she had just seen, yet from a distance, there was still a resemblance.

This technology is practically a head transplant. Compared to modern makeup techniques, this water-soluble technique is far superior, at least it doesn't require makeup remover. But the more superior it is, the harder it is to deal with. If this person escapes again and transforms into someone else, it probably won't be so easy for Xiang Wan to catch them.

In a way, this person practically delivered himself to her doorstep. After she discovered he was missing in the woods, she looked around for him, but unexpectedly he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pinned her against a tree trunk, covered her mouth and nose tightly with his hand, and said, "Save me, and I'll tell you all the answers."

Xiang Wan was skeptical, but to her surprise, the man rolled his eyes, slid to the ground, and fainted.

He hadn't fainted after running for so long, yet he suddenly passed out when he was leading her to that group of people. Whether he was telling the truth or not, since he could catch up with them so quickly, he must have some special ability. Besides, she and he were enemies; for him to just collapse so easily in front of her showed a complete lack of trust. Only he knew the answer Xiang Wan wanted but couldn't get, and he was certain Xiang Wan wouldn't dare do anything to him. With this backing, he lay defenseless before her, completely at her mercy.

"Xiao Qi, do you know who he is?"

"Heh," 007 yawned lazily, "He's an important person. Don't worry, he won't harm you."

With the system's guarantee, Xiang Wan confidently dragged the person aside. After the group of people had gone far away, she dragged him to a nearby pond.

She had suffered so much; even if she saved him, she couldn't let him have it easy. Xiang Wan bound the man's hands and feet again, treated his wounds, and that's how the above situation came about.

The man slowly awoke, moved his wrists and ankles, looked around, and then looked at Xiang Wan. Seeing that she still only had her eyes showing, he said with some regret, "Alas, great hero, I have already fallen into such a miserable state, is there any need to resort to such methods?"

"Your life is in my hands now. If you don't satisfy me, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell right now."

As she spoke, Xiang Wan forcefully grabbed his neck with her hand, and he could only exhale, not inhale.

Seeing that Xiang Wan was using force, the man quickly shook his head, signaling her to let go, as he had something to say. This time, Xiang Wan didn't let him have his way. She grabbed his neck with one hand and held a dagger to his ear with the other, coldly saying, "I'll ask, you answer. If you're wrong, I'll cut off your ear. If you're wrong again, I'll cut off your nose. You can wait and see what's left of you in the end."

"No, I will definitely cooperate and tell you everything I know. I will never lie."

Xiang Wan was somewhat suspicious; how could changing her face have altered her personality? That was for the best, saving her the trouble of explaining.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Su San, the third son of the Su family. I'm known as the Jade-Faced Young Master. I've always looked like this since I was little, and I'm especially popular with young ladies and wives. It's just a pity... sigh!"

"What's a pity?"

"Being handsome can't put food on the table. The people who want him don't like him, and the people who don't want him keep bothering him. It's so frustrating." After saying this, Su San gave Xiang Wan a resentful look, looking every bit like a wronged woman.

Xiang Wan felt a chill run down her spine. Seeing that this man still didn't understand his situation and was trying to get away with it, she felt it necessary to remind him. She tightened her grip on the dagger, raised it, and plunged it down.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me." The man with sharp eyes turned his head to the side, and the dagger was stuck into the rock behind his head, just past his earlobe, leaving a crack.

The man, still shaken, repeatedly assured her, "How could I dare lie to you? Your life is in your hands, you're completely yours. Don't you believe me?"

Something sounded so awkward. Xiang Wan pulled out the dagger and held it against his neck. "If you dare to lie to me..."

"No, no, my goal is the same as yours, how could I dig my own grave?"

What is your purpose in coming here?

"Looking for someone."

As soon as those three words were uttered, Xiang Wan felt furious. Did she think she would believe her if she repeated the same reason twice?

“I’m telling the truth, I really am here looking for someone. My sister was kidnapped half a month ago, and after asking around, I came here. It turns out that there’s more to this place than I thought, and I know that my strength is limited by myself, so I want to join forces with you.”

"Who are you trying to fool? Although your Su family is not as powerful as the Zhao family, you certainly have enough manpower. You could easily take this place down and rescue your sister with a simple call. Aren't you going to tell the truth?"

As she spoke, Xiang Wan had already pointed the dagger at his heart, clearly indicating that if he didn't confess honestly, she would send him to his death.

This time, the man named Su San straightened his expression, stared into Xiang Wan's eyes, and said sincerely, "It's not as simple as you think. The Su family and the Zhao family appear to be on good terms, but in reality, they are fiercely competing. Years ago, we heard that the Zhao family was doing some secret things, and the Su family inquired in many ways, but to no avail. This time, my younger sister ran away and was kidnapped by the Zhao family. I tracked them down and even sent messages to the Su family, but I never received a reply. At that time, I understood that either the messages were intercepted, or the Su family simply didn't want to get involved in this mess."

A couple of days ago, I saw you guys were surrounded. I was hoping to find an opportunity to cooperate with you, but it turns out your accomplice was actually the contact person for this group. And you and another companion even tried to go in and rescue them. I guessed you weren't working together, so I wanted to find you.

Given your wariness, you wouldn't believe me so easily, so I led you here. Seeing it with your own eyes should convince you, right?

"Wait, since you arrived a long time ago, who was the person lying in the second-floor room that night? It couldn't have been you, could it?"

Su San paused, her eyelids drooping, and she turned her head shyly, saying, "So, it was you that night? I never expected you to be so persistent with me. It makes me quite uneasy."
