Chapter 223: The Truth

~4 min read 723 words

Liu Chuxue lost her patience and struck again with the staff: "Still not going to speak?"

Even though he had undergone special training, a few blows made that man unable to endure: "Stop hitting! What do you want to know?"

Liu Chuxue knew that if he hadn't been careless and she hadn't taken him by surprise, she might not have succeeded, but so what: "Who is the master behind you?"

Seeing the man about to speak, she directly added: "Don't think about fooling me, or I'll make you stay in this mountain forest forever."

The man didn't expect this person to be more ruthless than them all.

After weighing the pros and cons, he directly spoke a name: "Jiang Huiwen."

Liu Chuxue saw he wasn't lying: "Be more specific."

The man gritted his teeth: "Jiang Huiwen used to work in the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Railways and is now retired. Her husband was a cadre transferred from the army to the Ministry of Railways and is also retired at home, but they have powerful connections. The couple currently lives with their eldest son in the government compound."

Liu Chuxue asked a few more questions before letting him go.

Having learned what she wanted to know, she did not linger here.

As for what would happen to this man afterward, that was his own fate; after all, being caught by that woman with compromising evidence, forced to be used, and even becoming that woman's claw, he surely wasn't a good person.

After Liu Chuxue turned and left the cave, she did not go home, because there were still two living people in the space, and she believed she could recover part of the truth from their mouths.

She quickly headed up the mountain to a small cave she had occasionally discovered while chopping wood before; that place wasn't too far from where she was now, and the direction of the cave entrance perfectly avoided the moonlight, making the inside pitch black.

It was just right to finish the interrogation in a moment and dump the person there.

Although she had martial strength to back her up, she was somewhat afraid and dared not go out.

The reason she wanted to change locations to handle these two was that the old couple of the Liu family knew the original owner too well; she couldn't let them have any further contact. If they happened to meet and conspire, suspecting her, it would not be good.

Upon arriving, she walked into the darkness and directly entered the space.

She first brought Ge Pozi out of the space, made her face away from her, and only then woke her up.

Ge Pozi was about to curse, but Liu Chuxue gave her a punch and asked in another high-pitched male voice: "Tell me the events of back then from start to finish, don't try any tricks, or I'll send you down to meet the King of Hell right now."

Ge Pozi thought it was still the same person as before; although angry in her heart, after feeling the chill on her neck, she honestly confessed the matter, after all, keeping her life was the priority.

It turned out that not long after she gave birth to her second son, someone approached them, saying they wanted her to help nurse a child for a few days; the compensation offered at the time was substantial, so naturally she was tempted, thinking it wouldn't take long before the child would be taken away, and at worst she could feed her son some flour paste.

With that money, the family's life could be a bit better.

The woman who came to beg left the child and departed; at that time it was winter, she was in confinement, and because the family was poor, few people visited their home in daily life, so no one knew about her helping to raise a child.

Afterwards, unrealistic thoughts kept popping into her head; when she saw the person coming to take the child dressed so brightly, her desire reached its peak, completely making her make up her mind.

Thinking the two children were only a few days apart in age and the visitor surely wouldn't notice anything wrong, and thinking of letting her son live a good life, she sent her second son away.
