An Moxue looked at the man and said, "Looks like I guessed right, you really are from the Tang family. You must have been waiting a long time! Did you intend to capture me alive or kill me this time? Let me guess, you initially wanted to capture me alive, right? But you didn't expect things to turn out this way!"

At this moment, the man managed to sit up on the ground, looked up at An Moxue, and said, "I underestimated you."

"Of course you underestimated me. I thought the Tang family would be quiet for a while! I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Your Tang family is truly a loyal dog of your master, jumping around in front of me whenever you have a little strength. What a pity, such a good dog, why doesn't the master cherish it! He has many subordinates, why does he only let your Tang family fleece him? Now they're all bald, aren't they afraid that if they fleece your Tang family any further they'll be wiped out?" An Moxue said gloatingly.

"What do you mean by that?" the man asked, unable to hide his shock.

"Oh dear! You didn't know? Then why did you come?"

"For the sake of the Tang family, you have bullied my Tang family, how can I not stand by and do nothing?" the man said indignantly.

"That's right. It seems that some members of your Tang family are unaware of the truth and have been used. I just don't know if you, who contributed, received any share of the profits. But I doubt it would. Who wouldn't want to pocket the benefits? Don't you think so?"

After An Moxue finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Forget it, you're going to die anyway, so there's no point in knowing all this. It's just a pity that you were used by your own people to die, and you died without ever knowing the truth. It's kind of pitiful!"

"What do you mean by that?" The man became more and more confused, and his doubts grew.

An Moxue sat down not far from him and asked, "Then do you know why your Tang family arrested me? I mean, Chuchu."

"Didn't you drug and cripple my Tang family's younger generation?"

"Then do you know why I crippled them?"

"Why?"

"Because they came to arrest me on their own initiative. Do you know why?"

An Moxue paused again and slowed down her speech, saying, "Because it is rumored that my family has a huge fortune, and everyone wants it. The people from your Tang family are not the first batch."

The man was utterly shocked; this was completely different from the truth he knew.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, An Moxue quickly stuffed a Truth Pill into his mouth. This medicine was an improved version of the one she had given to the two people from the Tang family last time. An Moxue didn't know exactly how effective it was, but she could only try it as a last resort.

After the medicine was taken, the man finally realized what had happened, glared at An Moxue, and asked, "What did you give me to eat this time?"

The man's heart was in turmoil. How could this little devil have so many tricks up her sleeve, making it impossible to guard against her?

"I gave you some painkillers because I saw you were being misled by your family, and I felt sorry for you."

The man's pupils gradually lost focus, and An Moxue asked softly, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Tang Qi, from the Tang family of Nakagawa."

"Who sent you?"

"Patriarch Tang Jun."

What is the purpose?

"Capture An Moxue alive, just leave her barely alive."

"Do you know who the head of the Tang family is? Or rather, whose orders did the Tang family take to arrest An Moxue?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

"Do you have anyone you suspect?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

"After the Tang family members who practiced martial arts all had an accident last year, how many people in the family are still able to practice martial arts?"

"There are probably more than a hundred left."

"How come there are still so many?"

"They happened to be away from home at the time, so they managed to escape."

"How many people are as skilled in martial arts as you?"

"More than ten."

"How many people came to arrest An Moxue this time?"

"It's just me."

"Who was here to meet you?"

After An Moxue finished asking her question, the man did not answer. A look of struggle appeared on his face. She saw that the man's eyes were starting to focus, and she knew that the effects of the drug were about to wear off. It seemed that she would have to have a chance to meet the head of the Tang family.

Although the effect was short-lived, it was much better than last time. I will continue to work on improving the prescription.

The man fully woke up, and for a moment he was dazed.

After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, and seeing that the man was now powerless and no longer a threat, An Moxue relaxed and realized that it was already evening, with the sunset painting half the sky red.

An Moxue thought to herself that she couldn't go back today, as this place was still quite close to the village.

She took out a wood-chopping knife from her basket, chopped some vines and branches, made a simple trailer, tied the man to it, and had the two children pull it, heading deeper into the forest.

The man didn't know what An Moxue was going to do, and his panic grew. But he called out to An Moxue and asked her, "What are you going to do? Where are you taking me?"

An Moxue didn't answer him again, focusing only on getting on her way.

As darkness fell, An Moxue found a secluded forest where there were signs of wild boar activity. She untied the man from the trailer, said "Good luck!" to him, and disappeared into the forest without looking back.

People are always terrified when faced with the unknown, and men are no exception. This is the depths of a forest he is unfamiliar with, especially since he can't even stand up now. He struggles to crawl forward, trying to find a safe place to stay, ignoring the excruciating pain in his body. The forest in the dark is full of dangers. He must get through this night before he can think about the future.

In fact, An Moxue did not go too far. She found a secluded place and took the two little ones into the space.

First, I endured the pain all over my body and quickly took a shower in the bathroom. When I came out, my face was deathly pale.

Then I went to the underground storage room to get some ointment and oral medication, and also got a meal, including two portions of raw meat for the two little ones.

She gave the meat to the two little ones, then took the medicine and food into the dining room. After eating and applying the medicine, she returned to her bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

She didn't sleep well that night. She would fall asleep only to be awakened by pain all over her body. She didn't even know how many times she was awakened by the pain throughout the night, until a terrified scream outside completely woke An Moxue up.

Her face was still a little pale, lacking its usual rosy glow. She quickly dressed, grabbed the Desert Blade, and led the two little ones out of the space, running towards the direction of the screams.

When An Moxue arrived at the location, she only saw mangled corpses and a group of wild boars.

She suppressed her discomfort and quickly left with the two little ones.

After walking quite a distance, she found a scenic spot, stopped, and stared blankly at the sun rising through the morning mist. The dappled sunlight shone on her red, swollen, and bruised face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
