At this moment, A Yue was pinned to the ground by Xia Wan. Despite trying her best to break free, Xia Wan's strength was too great, and she could only struggle in vain.
"Who are you people? What do you want?" Her voice was high-pitched and shrill, echoing throughout the room, but strangely, she didn't seem afraid of attracting attention.
Xia Wan's eyes widened in anger, and she swung her right hand sharply, sending a whistling sound as she slapped the person in front of her.
With a sharp "smack," the hand landed squarely on the other person's face. The force of the slap was so great that it caused a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of the man's mouth.
However, after hitting the person, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows and glared fiercely at the person in front of her who was covering their face. She said sternly, "Remember this, keep your voice down from now on! I'm a very timid girl. If you dare to shout loudly and scare me again, humph, I can't guarantee what crazy things I might do!"
Her seemingly timid and cowardly words immediately silenced the people present.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, secretly thinking: This doesn't seem like a coward at all; she's clearly a shrew! Does she perhaps have some unique understanding of the word "cowardly"?
Just then, Wu Sangui, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but say, "Xia Wan, you promised me before that as long as I tell you everything I know, you will let A Yue go!"
Although he himself felt extremely frustrated and angry, he ultimately couldn't bear to see his beloved A-Yue suffer even the slightest injustice.
Upon hearing Wu Sangui's words, Xia Wan was first slightly taken aback, then revealed an expression of utter astonishment, looked Wu Sangui up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous, Accountant Wu! You can still be so calm and composed with that bright green hat on your head. Do you actually enjoy this feeling?"
After saying that, she deliberately shook her head, pretending not to understand.
Faced with Xia Wan's sarcastic remarks, Wu Sangui's face turned ashen with anger, his lips trembled as he tried to retort, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
He turned to look at A-Yue with a face full of guilt and worry, hoping to get some comfort from her.
However, to his disappointment, Yue didn't even glance at him once, as if she didn't exist at all.
At this moment, A-Yue's face was ashen, as if she had buried all her emotions deep in her heart. Her face, which had been flushed with anger, had returned to calm, without even a trace of emotion.
She stared at Xia Wan expressionlessly and asked coldly, "What do you want to know? I won't tell you!"
Contrary to what A-Yue had expected, Xia Wan did not reprimand her harshly as she had anticipated. Instead, she blurted out without thinking, "I just want to find out your real name."
Hearing this, A-Yue couldn't help but feel suspicious. She stared at Xia Wan with suspicion, her face growing increasingly gloomy, and she uttered cold words:
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want to use those so-called interrogation techniques to extract information from me? That's just wishful thinking! Let me tell you clearly and plainly, no matter what tricks you play, you won't get a single piece of valuable information from me."
She spoke through gritted teeth, seemingly trying to provoke Xia Wan.
She now knows that Xia Jianguo's daughter is no ordinary person; she might even be someone who was raised by a powerful family!
Faced with A-Yue's accusations, Xia Wan looked completely bewildered: "???"
When did she use interrogation techniques?
This is truly a miscarriage of justice!
What skills could she possibly have?
However, since she couldn't figure out the reason, she simply stopped dwelling on it. Xia Wan took a deep breath, straightened her expression, and then spoke again:
"Stop arguing with me! Answer my question, or don't blame me for being rude!"
In fact, Xia Wan already knew from A Yue's attitude and reaction when she woke up that it would not be easy to get any crucial and useful information out of her.
Therefore, it would be better to find out their real name first, and then use the system to search for relevant clues.
She secretly planned that she first needed to find out the true identities of these people so that she could make good use of the system's query function later. Moreover, doing so would also save her a lot of points!
Actually, after assaulting someone, you could find out their name and some details, but she always adhered to the principle of thrift and frugality, saving every penny she could.
Although her father didn't want to know her identity, Xia Wan felt that since the enemy had come knocking on their door, whether they would acknowledge their kinship was another matter, but they definitely needed to know information about their enemy.
Know yourself and know your enemy!
However, things didn't go as planned. Despite her earnest questioning for a long time, the woman remained stubbornly unwilling to utter a single word!
Seeing that her pleading and cajoling were ineffective, Xia Wan became furious. She grabbed whatever was nearby and shoved it into A Yue's mouth. Then, gritting her teeth, she raised her hand and slapped A Yue hard across the face.
That wasn't all. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She used both hands and feet to punch and kick A-Yue. At this point, she didn't care about anything else; all she wanted was to vent her anger.
Surprisingly, Ah Yue, who was beaten and bruised, did not react excessively, but Wu Sangui, who was standing to the side, was already heartbroken.
His face was full of anxiety, and he kept shouting, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything! Xia Wan, stop it, stop hitting me!"
After saying that, he rushed forward to pull Xia Wan away without regard for anything else.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wan didn't give him a chance to get close and kicked Wu Sangui straight away.
Poor Wu Sangui instantly flew like a kite with a broken string, crashing straight into the wall. With a muffled thud, Wu Sangui fell heavily to the ground, his head spinning, almost fainting again!
Shut your filthy mouth! Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to your rescue!
Xia Wan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, beating someone up really does make me feel exceptionally good!
Wu Sangui quickly adapted to Xia Wan's occasional ravings and showed no other reaction, only repeatedly muttering, "Stop hitting me, I'll tell you A-Yue's name, please stop hitting me..."
He spoke weakly and listlessly, and looked rather pitiful.
