Xia Wan stood there talking non-stop for a long time, but A Yue in front of her was like a wooden doll, completely unresponsive, not even lifting her eyelids.
Xia Wan gradually lost her patience, her brows furrowed, and a hint of irritation appeared on her face. Without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed the remaining bowl of water on the table, strode over to A Yue, and without further ado, shoved the bowl into A Yue's mouth and poured the water down her throat.
"Cough...cough..." Caught off guard, A-Yue choked and coughed violently, a series of painful sounds coming from her throat. Between coughs, she glared at Xia Wan, her eyes seemingly spitting fire, and said fiercely, "Give up! I'd rather die than tell you anything!"
At this moment, A-Yue's face was flushed red, and her face, twisted with anger, looked somewhat ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing this, Xia Wan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, forming a cold smile.
She said in a slow, leisurely tone, "Heh, who said I needed to hear anything from you? You can just stay here quietly and wait for death to come. Oh, by the way, I ran into that Guo Zhen guy when I went to town today. She's your young master, right? I broke both of his legs without hesitation..."
"Alas, it's truly a pity... You probably won't be able to pass messages or tip off Guo Guanghua anymore!"
As Xia Wan's words reached her ears, A Yue's face grew paler and paler, and her wide eyes were now filled with terror.
Her lips trembled as she asked, "How...how do you know all this? Who exactly are you?"
Clearly, A-Yue was utterly shocked and terrified by Xia Wan's display of omniscience.
Especially when Xia Wan mentioned the title "Young Master of the Family," A Yue's panic instantly reached its peak.
It's important to understand that the term "young master of the family" is extremely confidential. Even in the bustling capital, very few people know about it. Outsiders, on the other hand, would have no way of knowing that the head of the family has servants under his command.
However, this seemingly ordinary girl in front of him seemed to know everything, which made A-Yue feel terrified and scared.
Xia Wan completely ignored her inner thoughts, enjoying the sight of her face contorted with terror. Once she had had her fill of the admiration, she leisurely found a stool and sat down.
She casually crossed her legs, looking at the person in front of her with a half-smile, and said, "I know a lot, and now I realize that I probably won't get any valuable information out of you."
So, you don't need to waste your energy figuring out how to cope. Just quietly endure the pain and wait for death to come. After all, you're worthless now!
After saying that, Xia Wan leaned closer and carefully examined the cold sweat that kept seeping from the other person's forehead.
As she observed more closely, her smile grew even brighter, even carrying a chilling malice: "How about it? Now you must be feeling that excruciating pain, right?"
But don't worry too much, this level of pain should be bearable for you. However... there's more intense pain waiting for you later!
Of course, Yue wasn't the only one who was sad.
The water she served to Wu Sangui was certainly not just ordinary boiled water; it must have contained some special ingredients.
You should know that Wu Sangui had previously considered murdering her father. How could such a vicious person be easily forgiven?
However, Wu Sangui's medicine did not take effect so quickly. Considering that he realized his mistake, the medicine he was given was not so strong!
As the effects of the medicine began to take hold, Xia Wan ruthlessly picked up A Yue and threw her into the small woodshed in the corner as if she were a broken item.
After doing all this, she pondered for a moment and felt that the most urgent task was to properly handle Wu Sangui's matter.
This person seems normal on the surface, but we should still pay close attention and keep a close watch on him.
Xia Wan looked up at her father, only to see him sitting there leisurely, showing no intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Xia Wan sighed inwardly, knowing that she couldn't count on her father to say anything, so she had no choice but to ask first, "The brigade leader has been looking for you all day! Everyone thought you encountered some emergency and ran to your relatives' house in the city. Did you really just go to the city to visit relatives?"
Wu Sangui didn't seem to have any intention of hiding this matter. He answered directly, "I went to buy some things for A-Yue, and occasionally I would also help her deliver messages to others."
Xia Wan was slightly taken aback, thinking that this person could actually gain some trust from A Yue and the others, otherwise why would they trust him to help deliver a message?
Thinking of this, Xia Wan casually asked, "So, who are you sending a message to this time?"
When Xia Wan asked this question, Wu Sangui spoke again, but this time his tone was filled with deep hatred:
"A-Yue said that the man named Guo Zheng in the steel factory was from her hometown, so she asked me to go and let him know that she was safe."
At this point, Wu Sangui couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was really incredibly foolish back then! Even if he had some doubts about the matter, as long as A-Yue said a few sweet words, he would immediately give up the idea of asking for clarification.
He still doesn't understand what exactly bewitched him back then, that he so easily chose to trust the other person because of that one and only so-called life-saving grace.
In fact, strictly speaking, calling it a life-saving grace is quite an exaggeration.
After all, he had simply fainted suddenly, and the cause of this was just a common symptom of low blood sugar. This situation was far from fatal. Perhaps after a short rest and a period of dizziness, he would naturally wake up and recover completely.
Upon hearing his explanation, Xia Wan's face instantly revealed an expression as if she had long anticipated this outcome.
She spoke again, saying, "Since you're quite lucky today, Uncle Wu, and it just so happens that my father is in a good mood, he has decided, after careful consideration, to stop making things difficult for you."
Our plan is to let you leave like this, but there's one thing we need to make clear to you beforehand: once you're home, you should already know perfectly well what you can and absolutely cannot say, without us having to repeat ourselves.
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui was stunned. He stared at them in astonishment, seemingly unable to believe that they would so easily choose to let him go.
