I promise I will let you go. I don't have any grudges against you, right?"
The short man felt that lying there was torture. If he didn't say anything, he might really die here today.
"Okay, I said, our boss asked us to come here."
"Who is your boss?"
"Chen Cong," the short man stammered, "He's considered quite powerful in this area, and his family has connections at the steel mill, so he told us to come over without worry."
Shen Jiaojiao knew that this matter must be related to the Shen family.
"What do you want to do?"
"We're looking for a kid. He disappeared after we chased him here last time. We suspect he entered your house, so we kicked the door open," the short man's voice was still trembling. "I'm telling the truth. Can you let me go now?"
Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Okay, I believe what you said for now, then can you tell me why you are chasing that child?"
"Needless to say, that kid offended our boss and seemed to have stolen something from him, so that's why we were sent after him."
"That's weird. There are so many places to hide here. Why don't you go look for someone else's house? Why did you choose mine? Are you targeting me on purpose?"
The short man said helplessly, "Sister, I don't know about this. If you want to know, you have to ask our boss yourself. I just obeyed him. As for why he did that, I really don't know. Even if you tell me more now, I will still give the same answer."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't hear them knocking on other people's doors just now. The sound insulation effect in this era is very poor, and each house is relatively close to each other. If there is any movement in other houses, she will definitely be able to hear it.
But she didn't hear anyone else's voice, and she went straight to her home.
It was obvious that Shen Cong had called them here on purpose.
"Did you see that child come into my room?"
"No."
"If you didn't see anything, why did you kick my door?"
The short man also looked embarrassed. Now that he had fallen into Shen Jiaojiao's hands, he considered himself unlucky.
"Sister, I've already told you that this was our boss's idea. I don't know why he did that. He might have been suspicious of someone coming over. There aren't many families around here."
This is true, but Shen Cong's intention is a little too obvious.
Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the person on the ground, who was quite pitiful.
"If you dare to lie to me, believe it or not, I will kill you."
"I dare not lie. We chased that kid last time, and we saw him again today. Who knew that brat could run so fast?"
"What did he steal that made you chase him so relentlessly?"
They both quickly shook their heads. "We really didn't know. It was Big Brother who told us about the theft. He also said that if we caught the kid, he'd give us a few dollars. We're really after the money."
"That's right. That child has nothing to do with you. Big sister, if you really saw where that child went, why not tell us? We might even give you some benefits."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that Shen Cong would be willing to pay for Cheng Yang.
It can be seen that Cheng Yang is still very important to him.
Why did the Shen family pursue Cheng Yang?
And what does Shen Cong have that is worth Cheng Yang stealing?
Shen Jiaojiao thought about the first time she met Cheng Yang, he also hid himself, and probably the people chasing him at that time were also this group of people.
Now all kinds of thoughts popped up in her mind, and she didn't know what was going on.
"You better explain everything to me clearly, otherwise I won't let you go now."
"Sister, that's all we know. Even if you keep asking, we don't know anything else." The tall man immediately raised his hand and said, "I can swear."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at them and they didn't seem to be lying, so she continued to ask: "Then let me ask you, do you know who Shen Cong is to me?"
Both of them shook their heads. "We really don't know about this matter. We never interfere in Big Brother's private affairs."
"real?"
She stood up, her hands behind her back, still holding the stick.
"It's true. He really never told me that." The tall man said anxiously, "I haven't been with Big Brother for long either. As for why he did that, he definitely wouldn't tell me."
Shen Jiaojiao now also focused her attention on the short man; his eyes were evasive.
"Since he doesn't know, you should know, right?"
The short man said, "I don't know either." But it was obvious from his voice that he was lying.
"You are still in my hands, and I have so many people here. Everyone saw clearly how you got in just now. If you don't explain clearly, I don't think you can get out of here." Shen Jiaojiao paused, "Do you think Shen Cong will find a way to rescue you if something happens? Let me tell you, he won't. He is a very selfish person."
"He..." The short man thought for a moment, "He's probably afraid that you'll see that child."
"Why?" Shen Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise. "Why are you afraid that I'll see him? I have no relatives or friends with that child, and Shen Cong didn't even see him come to my place. How can you easily conclude that he entered my room?"
"I'm not exactly sure about the details, but I think that's what Big Brother was thinking. When Big Brother learned that the child had escaped from here, he became very nervous and said that we must find the child before you do."
"Did he really say that?"
The short man nodded, "Big brother trusts me very much, so he specially gave this task to me."
Shen Jiaojiao is now more and more curious. If the short man did not lie, then Shen Cong's intention is also very clear. She did not have much contact with Cheng Yang, and when she helped him before, the people in the Shen family were not aware of it.
Otherwise, with Shen Cong's personality, he wouldn't have come here to ask for someone just this time. He should have come last time.
There are also people saying that Cheng Yang stole things, but what could Shen Cong have to steal?
He was probably just looking for an excuse. Why did he go to such great lengths to find a reason to take Cheng Yang away from Shen Jiaojiao? What was the Shen family hiding?
Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the short man, and seemed to think of the things Cheng Yang took.
Cheng Yang told her last time that his father had asked him to bring those things to his aunt, so why was it related to Shen Cong? Could it be that Shen Cong knew who his aunt was?
