Chapter 342 - 197: Handover to the Authorities! A Gift from the Great Tang Prison! (Seeking Monthly Subscription)_3
"You must believe us, we really won’t lie, we’ve never lied to anyone before!"
"Otherwise I... I’ll swear, if I deceive the president, may I be struck by lightning!"
"..." Yuchi believed them.
His fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, while he gently shook his head.
He was signaling the other party to calm down; he was just saying, was it necessary to swear immediately? Or did you ask for the opinion of "being struck by lightning"? Just saying it like that?
No rush.
Yuchi smiled and said, "We don’t need to rush, we have plenty of time, we’ll definitely be able to fully recreate the situation at that time, so let’s put aside the matter of Xufu Town for now. May I ask, where are you two from? In which town did you reside, and do you have any friends or family there?"
There are witnesses in Xufu Town, so do these two not have any witnesses behind them? Why did they sell little Ximo? Just go back and ask to find out.
Upon hearing Yuchi wanted to investigate his background, the man immediately looked panicked.
Yuchi jokingly looked at the nervous man in front of him and said:
"You said the night was too dark, I can understand that, I’m also prone to not seeing things at night. But where you are from, where you have lived, you wouldn’t forget that, would you?"
"Rest assured, I have some connections, and I can completely find out some things about you within two days. I imagine your neighbors on the left and right can help prove your story."
"Once I figure out the ins and outs of the matter, I can completely trust you, and then I will help you. After all, everyone has difficult times in life, and if I can help, I certainly will."
Wei Zhe finally understood his younger brother’s intent. The usually smiling and adorable Wei Sanlang was actually quick to show his tactics when needed, without even blinking an eye!
How could Wei Zhe not know what to say in such a situation! The scholar stood up, looked at Yuchi sitting steadily in the main seat, and said righteously: "Third Brother, I’ll now have my men prepare immediately to go to their hometown and conduct a thorough investigation of their story there."
An experienced elder brother, much smarter than before meeting Xiangxiang, apparently was like a seed, and Xiangxiang continually watered and nurtured it until the seed sprouted.
Yuchi smiled at his elder brother’s hurried manner: "No rush, let’s listen to what they have to say first."
With arms crossed, Wei Zhe nodded calmly: "All right, I’ll listen to you."
The brothers’ brief and swift dialogue left the man dumbfounded, now at a loss for how to respond.
Was he going to claim he didn’t remember where he came from?
That’s impossible.
So how could he even remember anything about the toddler if he couldn’t even recall this?
That’s impossible.
"Miscalculated."
Truly miscalculated, he hadn’t expected the other side genuinely had no intention of keeping things quiet and giving money, actually going as far as he did!
What to do?
He immediately looked at his wife, who was too afraid to even sneak a glance at Yuchi, keeping her head down, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with her.
"Is this difficult?"
Yuchi asked with a smile, and when the other party bluntly nodded, "Difficult, then I suggest not doing it at all!"
Fortunately, there wasn’t a table nearby, otherwise, Yuchi might have flipped it.
And then before Yuchi could speak, Wei Zhe stood up, took out the folding fan positioned at the back of his neck, opened it with a swish, and with the fan gently moving, his words carried a somewhat cruel undertone as he said flatly under the man’s fearful gaze:
"You might think I’m easy to deceive, so after you lied to me, you didn’t plan to leave. But I admit, I am not as complicated as you thought; I only follow a simple sewing procedure. However, if you think you can use this tactic against Wei Sanlang, you’ve truly overestimated yourselves!"
"Sanlang is generally very easygoing, but this is only under normal circumstances. If Wei Sanlang discovers you deceived us, trying to snatch someone from the Wei Family, making us look bad, then I can only say you are courting death!"
"And little Ximo, such a darling little girl, are you really so heartless to harm her?"
"You all... have become muddled."
Wei Zhe spoke sincerely; initially, he held good intentions, being the biological parents of little Ximo, he didn’t intend to mistreat them, but they treated them like fools, which was quite infuriating.
What they said insulted their intelligence even more.
Am I, Wei Zhe, that stupid? I’ve had business dealings with Miss Xiangxiang! Miss Xiangxiang even praised me!
After Wei Zhe, visibly furious, finished speaking, the man was left frozen.
