Chapter 110 The Mysterious Zhuangzi

The woman's name was Cui Yingying. She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan. She had been interested in business since she was a child, but her parents did not support her.

Having heard that the capital was prosperous and had more opportunities to make money, she decided to go there to try and prove to her parents that she had the ability to do business.

Because he kept the matter a secret from his family, he only brought a maid who knew martial arts. However, she was knocked unconscious in the inn and was kidnapped and brought here.

Cui Yingying was captured about a month ago.

The man who spoke first was called Xiao Zhian. He didn't say much about where he came from, but Wei Qingyan sensed the unusualness of his identity from his previous words.

He must have some capable people under his command, but they failed to rescue him, which made him feel that there was no hope of escaping from here.

The interaction between Wei Qingyan and Lan Shu obviously gave them hope again.

Cui Yingying whispered, "That old woman muttered something to me when I was pretending to be asleep one time.

Everyone who is brought into this room will be forced to drink a bucket of water like this, and then will be starved for three days. After three days, you will be given some vegetables and an egg, and occasionally even some fine fruits.

After eating three vegetarian meals a day, you will be starved for another three days with only water to drink. After three days, you will be fed vegetarian food again, and the cycle will repeat.

This is the case when the performance is good. If the performance is not good, there will be no vegetarian food for three days, and only this water and ginseng soup will keep you going."

Cui Yingying paused, "If they are truly disobedient or can't endure it, they will be punished or moved to another room."

"Another room?" Wei Qingyan thought of the missing Li Shuyi.

People from the Liu family often come here. Could it be that Li Shuyi was also captured here?

"Yes, we are not the only ones imprisoned here. Others are also imprisoned here. Some of them are fed medicinal food, some are asked to get more sleep, and some are required to get up and train every day."

It was Xiao Zhian who answered, "We just had a vegetarian meal today, and we will be hungry for the next three days."

This also indirectly explains why the three people ignored Wei Qingyan before.

Next, they would go hungry for three days, trying not to eat or drink as much as possible to conserve their energy.

Wei Qingyan nodded to show that he understood.

Her calm and steady look made Xiao Zhian's eyes light up slightly, and he asked, "Miss, you have someone to pick you up outside, but are you sure you can get out?

Miss, could you take us with you? Xiao will definitely reward you handsomely."

His words made the other man, who had not spoken yet, look over sideways.

Wei Qingyan met three pairs of expectant eyes and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps it won't be so easy for my people to get in."

Otherwise, given Lan Shu's concern for her, she would have come over when she heard her whistle.

Judging from the footsteps of the three people who just appeared, they don’t have any skills and can’t stop Lan Shu.

But Lan Shu only responded, but did not show up. It is very likely that the voice could be transmitted, but Lan Shu could not find the way over.

Princess Yu's manor must have set up a formation, or used some tricks to hide it from the public.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion and Marquis Anyuan's Mansion to find no clues at all, forcing her to pretend to be kidnapped and sneak in.

Lan Shu didn't understand the mysterious magic formation, so even if she followed in, she would be stuck in a maze.

She needed to find out what was going on inside quickly and get out early to avoid making Lan Shu worry.

Thinking of this, she blew another whistle, intending to comfort Lan Shu.

Soon, Lan Shu also responded to the whistle.

Mother is fine, Wei Qingyan feels at ease.

She looked towards the door. The whistle was blown twice, but no guard came.

Is it that these people don’t have enough internal strength to hear anything, or are they confident that they are secretive enough and are not afraid of anyone breaking in?

Xiao Zhian asked again, "Miss, do you have any ideas?"

Wei Qingyan didn't answer but asked, "How long will they keep us locked up?"

She would not easily trust these people and reveal her plans to them.

The man, who had remained silent the entire time, replied, "Forty-nine days."

"How do you know?" Cui Yingying asked.

When she was first locked up, she, like Wei Qingyan, asked the people in the room about the situation.

But no one answered her.

The next day, two people were taken away and never appeared again, and the man never spoke a word to her.

Within two days, Xiao Zhian was arrested.

The three of them had been in the same room for about a month, and this was the first time she heard the man speak.

The man, named Wang Zhi, replied, "My sister was imprisoned for 49 days before they took her away."

"What are they going to do to us?" Cui Yingying continued to ask.

Wang Zhidao said, "Take the blood, take the internal organs, or in other words, take every part of the body, including the skin."

Having been locked up here for such a long time and treated like this, Cui Yingying had some guesses in her mind, but after hearing the man's words, her already pale face became even paler, and her breath seemed to be drained away at once.

"How do you know if it's a mistake?"

She tried to make a final struggle and asked with a weak voice.

Wang Zhi said, "I've been here for half a year, and the people in this room have changed one after another."

"Since it's 49 days, why did we keep you for half a year?" Wei Qingyan frowned.

Wang Zhi turned his head to look at the rooftop, his expression calm, "Because the short man who just brought us here is my uncle who died many years ago.

The night before I was taken away, I caught a cold and became a defective product in their eyes.

He saved my life, but on the second 49th day, I caught a cold again. Perhaps because it was difficult to capture him, and because of his plea, I have been trapped until now."

"Then you are in cahoots with them? You..." Cui Yingying was anxious.

They had just talked a lot and finally had some hope of escaping. She was worried that this man would betray them.

Wang Zhi's face still had no expression of sadness or joy, "I am not, if possible, I hope to kill him with my own hands.

It was he who tricked my sister and me into coming here, and it was he who dug out my sister's heart and peeled off her skin."

"Ugh..." Thinking that she would end up like that, Cui Yingying couldn't help but vomit.

Wei Qingyan twisted her hands, and the rope around her wrists loosened. She walked up to the man and asked, "Do you know who's behind this? What's their purpose?"

According to the earthbound spirit, Princess Yu is a hypocrite. On the surface, she is very nice to her stepson, but in reality, she flatters him and harms him. In private, she also instigates and harms him in various ways.

When he realized his stepmother's vicious heart and reported it to Prince Yu, Prince Yu naturally believed his usually gentle and virtuous wife instead of his useless son who had accomplished nothing and disrespected his elders.

The so-called elopement with the actress with the family property was actually a kidnapping by Princess Yu. He escaped by chance, but was caught up by Princess Yu's men and died in the mountains outside Yongzhou City.

The stepmother killed the original wife's son. This is a common secret in wealthy families. Wei Qingyan originally thought it was just a family feud, but now it seems that it is far from that.

What does Princess Yu want human body parts for? Does Prince Yu know?

Wei Qingyan easily untied the restraints.

It made Cui Yingying, who was about to vomit, forget about vomiting.

It made the light in Xiao Zhian's eyes brighter.

Wang Zhiteng sat up and stared at Wei Qingyan for a moment before saying, "If you promise to help me get revenge, I will tell you everything I know."
