Chapter 648: Chapter 648 Interrogation
Curl was groggy, his thoughts heavy. Could this be an unknown adversary taking advantage of Brother Xiaodao’s absence to attack them?
But that was impossible. They had chosen this place on the fly, brainstormed in the van. How could anyone get the news so quickly?
His body suddenly went limp, his vision blurred, and his breathing grew rapid.
Then he found himself thrown to the ground, completely ignored, the weight on him long gone.
Due to the angle, with his twisted body and head tilted back, he could see a slender figure walking towards the old man.
????
It was her?
That woman?
Impossible, Curl thought, as if he had seen a ghost.
Bai Xiao rubbed her wrists. The destructive power of her special ability was not bad. It was a new feature she had developed in this lifetime and, although not completely handy, it proved useful.
After a sweep of her special ability, the rope had decayed as if it had been rotting in a warehouse for centuries, shaking apart into pieces, no match for her. They had intended to bind her with that? Bai Xiao approached the old man to untie him.
An old man with white hair, a serious expression, and a beard stared at her in shock.
Just as she had imagined, had a man as upright as him encountered anyone other than her, he most likely would have suffered greatly.
"Old man, are you okay?" she asked, while her hands kept moving, untying the knots and circling the old man with her special ability to check on him. Fortunately, he wasn’t hurt. He seemed quite robust, probably only suffering from a bit of rheumatoid arthritis, but otherwise, in good health.
"How...how did you untie it?"
The old man couldn’t understand. He had struggled and hadn’t been able to loosen it at all, but this girl had easily done so?
Was there discrimination in binding people?
Was the rope used for her different from his?
Bai Xiao picked up a piece to show him, "It rotted!"
The old man stood up and moved his stiff limbs, cursing internally. What were these kidnappers thinking?
Could this kind of rope really bind someone?
This was too unprofessional.
Wasn’t this straight-up bullying?
Before he could speak, Bai Xiao had already turned the head of the lump on the ground towards her, "I ask, you answer. If you don’t respond correctly, see what I have in my hand? Silver needles! I am a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and with one prick, I can make your mouth crooked, your eyes askew, and leave you incapable of living independently—I am quite certain of that."
Curl trembled, finally realizing he was at the mercy of this girl.
But to say he wasn’t scared would be a lie.
Just moments ago, he had nearly stopped breathing, that feeling of having his neck twisted was no illusion—she really had intended to take his life.
"I’ll talk, I’ll say everything..."
"Who ordered you to kidnap me?"
This was the crux of the matter. Bai Xiao had yet to figure out who bore such a grudge against her that they would resort to such treachery. She didn’t have many enemies, and those she had were not here.
"Mei Jie had us do it," Curl did not dare withhold.
"Mei Jie? Who is that?"
Bai Xiao wracked her brains but couldn’t place this Mei Jie.
When had she ever offended the local thugs?
"Mei Jie is Brother Xiaodao’s mistress. It was her idea to have you kidnapped, she said...she said..." He trailed off, unable to continue. The deeds they were supposed to carry out were enough to incite rage in anyone, and he did not wish to die here. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
