Chapter 896
Unaware that Li Ang was "eyeing" her backside, and unaware that her bottom line had been completely exposed, after a few rounds of Q&A with the sister robber, the female reporter actually started chatting with her.
"I remember, when your brother first entered the VIP cabin, he fired a shot at the ceiling panel, right?"
Recalling the situation from before, the female reporter asked with some curiosity:
"That shot was what stunned the passengers, but after Li Ang checked it later, didn't he say that the guns you two were holding were fake? Then how exactly did the panel shatter?"
"Because I prepared a ball of modeling clay mixed with glycerin in advance."
Although she really wanted to get to the serious business, seeing the female reporter's face full of thirst for knowledge, the sister robber had no choice but to explain helplessly:
"That stuff explodes when it vibrates, and it's often used by people for mining. I stole a little bit back from the mine, mixed it into the modeling clay, and then when I was putting away the luggage, I secretly stuck that piece of modeling clay onto it.
And although the gun in my brother's hand was a toy, it could still shoot marbles. As long as he aimed at that piece of modeling clay and fired a shot, the panel, which was made of thin glass on one side, would be shattered directly by the vibration, looking just like it had been shattered by a gun."
So that's how it was...
After the question in her heart was resolved, a look of satisfaction appeared on the female reporter's face. Then, perhaps suffering from a journalist's occupational disease, she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, how did you come up with this method? Did someone teach you?"
"No one taught me, I learned it myself..."
Although she was extremely anxious and wanted to negotiate terms quickly, Li Ang's act of exposing her bottom line in just two sentences earlier had truly brought significant psychological pressure to the sister robber.
Not daring to negotiate with Li Ang, and facing the female reporter, who was her only straw to clutch, the sister robber had to suppress the urgency in her heart and patiently accept the interview:
"Our whole family are miners in Cheshire. That is one of the mining areas in the Kewangguo where floating crystals are extracted. I grew up watching them use glycerin mixed with medicinal mud to mine, so I learned a little bit."
"You are truly amazing!"
Seemingly very fond of this cute and sweet-talking little sister, the female reporter affectionately stroked her head and continued to ask softly:
"Besides your brother, are there any others in your family?"
"There was originally a grandmother..."
Hearing the female reporter's question, the sister robber's expression dimmed slightly, and she replied with coldness in her eyes:
"But she should be dead by now. Her lungs were full of dust drifting over from the floating crystal mining area. Before we escaped, she was already beyond saving."
Ah, this...
Not expecting such an answer, the female reporter's expression froze slightly, and she said with a hint of apology:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like that..."
"It's okay, we accepted it long ago."
"..."
Since you've already accepted it... then why did you still come to hijack the airship?
Watching the stubbornness unique to children revealed in the sister robber's eyes, the female reporter fell silent and couldn't help but cast a pleading look at Li Ang.
Is what she said true? If it is, can you let them go? Don't pursue the matter of them hijacking the airship?
No... why are you looking at me?
Feeling speechless at the female reporter's gaze, Li Ang, who was touching the sheep horns to test for lies, couldn't help but glare at her irritably.
I'm a good person too! Don't make it seem like I'm heartless and must put them to death! Clearly, from the very beginning, I never said I was going to do anything to them, okay?
To actually be moved by something like this...
Noticing the eye contact between Li Ang and the female reporter, the sister robber bit her lower lip slightly, then clenched her fists tightly, lowered her head, and whispered:
"Although I don't know what you want to do, if you want to find the location of the Kewangguo Wang Gong, I am willing to stay and help, as long as you let my brother go."
"No! I don't agree!"
Hearing this, the brother robber finally couldn't hold back. He arched his upper body violently with his butt stuck out and shouted with anxiety in his eyes:
"We agreed, you..."
"You rest for a while."
Taking out a handkerchief and stuffing it into the brother robber's mouth, completing the physical silencing, Li Ang pulled over a box from the side, sat down, and asked while pressing his throbbing temples:
"Let me sort this out... to summarize, it should be that the Kewangguo mined floating crystals in your hometown, causing you to become orphans. You escaped from the mine with great difficulty, and then wanted to seek revenge on the Kewangguo... that's about it, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing Li Ang's words, the sister robber nodded, then gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes:
"I read in a book that the Kewangguo is closed to the outside world. It's almost impossible to enter from land. Except for a few seaports that open irregularly, only airships can approach that place.
After discussing it with my brother, we sold the two small pieces of floating crystal we stole when we ran out, bought airship tickets and these things, and prepared to avenge our grandmother and all the people in Cheshire!"
It seems it really is about the same as I guessed...
Li Ang couldn't help but rub his temples upon hearing this. Although his soul vision proved that the sister robber was telling the truth, to be on the safe side, he continued to ask with a frown:
"How long have you been escaped from that Cheshire?"
"It's been over two years."
"Then why didn't you think of revenge at that time, and why are you suddenly preparing to take action now?"
"Because I didn't know how to take revenge before."
The sister robber recalled for a moment and explained:
"We lived in Creekwood Town on the outskirts of the capital, not far from the boarding tower. Last month, when the rebels attacked the boarding tower and burned the airship, we happened to be able to see that hundred-meter-tall fireball from where we lived. That was when I thought of a way to take revenge."
"..."
Good fellow, your inspiration for revenge actually came from me...
After asking a few more questions with a speechless expression but finding nothing suspicious, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart and began to doubt the purpose of the World Will "arranging" this hijacking.
With the brother robber's humorous operations, it was indeed impossible for him to kill him, but the sister robber's tragic encounter was hard to say.
If he asked anything more, such as digging out the evil deeds under the prosperity of the Kewangguo, and then couldn't help but meddle, he would definitely be dragged into a huge amount of trouble, and then it would really be possible for him to be killed.
"Let's talk about something else first."
After untying the rope on the sister robber, Li Ang, whose temples were throbbing, asked:
"I already know the reason why you hijacked the airship. Now can you tell me what you plan to rely on to find the location of the Kewangguo Wang Gong."
"..."
Hearing Li Ang's question, the sister robber hesitated slightly and did not answer immediately. Instead, she reached out and rolled up her sleeve, revealing a thin, dry arm embedded with dense, dark blue blood spots.
