Xia Wan always controlled the force in her hands, and every punch and palm strike landed perfectly on her opponent, causing unbearable pain without taking their life.
After all, there are rules set by the system here, and she absolutely cannot take A-Yue's life easily.
Finally, Xia Wan stopped what she was doing, slowly turned her head, and stared straight at Wu Sangui with a hint of suspicion on her face.
Are you really sure that the one you know is her real name?
Just after Wu Sangui finished speaking, A Yue's expressionless face showed no signs of emotional fluctuation due to her concern about the news being leaked.
Of course, perhaps Ah Yue thought that simply revealing a name wouldn't have much of an impact, which is why she didn't react.
However, Xia Wan's casual question, coupled with her questioning gaze, almost caused Wu Sangui to have a mental breakdown.
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, forcing himself to calm down, and shouted back, "Of course I know! How could A-Yue lie to me about even her name!"
Although he spoke with such firmness, he was actually beginning to waver, and he was not even sure what else Yue was hiding from him. Therefore, his voice was noticeably weak when he answered.
"Guo Yiyue! Her name is Guo Yiyue!" Wu Sangui shouted excitedly.
Xia Wan rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say she came here under an assumed name? Guo Yiyue is her later name, right?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Wu Sangui a chance to speak again. She raised her hand once more and began to slap the woman she was holding hard.
Each slap was delivered with full force, causing the woman to scream in agony.
However, at that moment, as if she had suddenly remembered something important, she stopped her violent actions and looked at the system interface.
She was so focused on the upgraded features that she completely forgot that the system could actually assign a label after someone was hit.
The label displayed on the screen was not a specific name, but simply read "Servant surnamed Guo".
Upon seeing this, Xia Wan's eyes widened in surprise and confusion.
It's incredible to still hear the term "servant" in this day and age!
Could this person be like those mysterious shadow guards of ancient times, a nameless entity silently protecting its master?
Do such people still exist today?
However, Xia Wan quickly calmed down and began to think of a solution.
She carefully recalled the last time she saw Ah Yue interact with Mr. Guo, and noticed that Ah Yue's attitude became exceptionally respectful and polite.
Therefore, it is evident that this Mr. Guo must be a well-known and famous person.
In that case, perhaps we can find a breakthrough by talking about Mr. Guo, and thus unveil the mystery of this "servant surnamed Guo".
She's now quite curious about Ah Yue's so-called master.
Thinking this through, Xia Wan no longer hesitated and said directly, "I plan to have a good talk with that Guo guy in the city tomorrow. So, are you sure you don't want this rare opportunity I'm giving you? Are you really willing to remain a servant without even a proper status forever?"
As soon as she finished speaking, A-Yue, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head, her eyes revealing undisguised shock.
It was as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
She stared intently at Xia Wan, her voice trembling as she asked, "How...how did you find out about this? What else do you know?"
"Hmph, what I know far exceeds your imagination! So, you'd better think this over carefully. However, if you're smart, I can give you another night to consider it!"
Xia Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, a sudden surge of indescribable anxiety welling up inside her.
At this moment, weariness washed over her like a tide, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could barely keep them open.
Thinking about having to go to work as usual tomorrow, she really didn't want to waste any more time with Yue.
Let's wait until tomorrow, after we've spoken to that person surnamed Guo, and then see how to handle it!
"What...what exactly happened...how...how did you find out..." A-Yue's face was pale, and she stared at Xia Wan in horror, her words becoming stuttering and incoherent.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out where she had slipped up and been exposed by Xia Wan.
Could it be that this seemingly ordinary educated youth sent to the countryside actually possesses extraordinary insight and ability?
She's just an educated youth from the countryside! How could she possibly know the Guo family's secrets?
Ah Yue's initial composure vanished instantly, replaced by a heart full of fear and unease.
At this moment, only one thought kept swirling in her mind: how to deliver this astonishing news to her master as quickly as possible!
On the other side, Xia Wan stared coldly at the panicked A Yue with an icy expression.
After checking this person's contribution points, Xia Wan wanted to kill him outright.
The points awarded were comparable to those for the two spies she defeated when she risked her life to rescue Wu Xiangdong.
Surprisingly, Wu Sangui only contributed 5 points. For an adult, such a meager number of points indicates that he had not committed any crimes.
Perhaps the poisoning incident today wasn't counted in terms of sin and punishment because it didn't cause any real harm to her father?
However, if we let this person go so easily, who can predict what kind of trouble he will cause outside?
But if they insist on not letting us through, we must rack our brains to come up with a foolproof solution.
Just as everyone was hesitating over the matter, Xia Wan suddenly had a bright idea and said to her father, "Dad, why don't we wait until I come back tomorrow to question these two people? Let's lock them up for tonight?"
After listening for a moment, Xia Jianguo thought the suggestion was a reasonable expedient and nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"Okay, then let's lock them up for now. It's getting late, everyone should go back to their rooms and rest!"
They have quite a lot of houses, with several rooms alone.
However, A-Yue was fine, but Wu Sangui was in a bit of a predicament. After all, he was the village accountant, and if he couldn't be found out, it would probably cause a sensation.
Xia Wan was extremely upset at this moment, and she reached out and grabbed a handful of her hair in agitation.
