Chapter 177 Ignorance
Xie Xinghua’s anxiety escalated in an instant, as she grabbed Biaozi’s sleeve, her eyes filled with urgency, "Where is my daughter? Tell me!"
Su Yu intervened timely, reminding Biaozi with a calm yet sharp tone, "It’s the girl you just acquired today, remember?"
Biaozi forced a strained smile, attempting to be vague, "Here in Clear Water Town, the buying and selling of people happen often, I dare not speculate which girl the lady is referring to."
Off to the side, Lady Zhao’s mouth corners revealed a cold smile, seemingly confident in her own strategy.
However, this brief complacency was soon shattered.
Quick as a blink, Su Yu pulled Lady Zhao to the front, her words revealing an undeniable force, "Today, it was this woman who sold a girl to you, tell me, where is the girl now?"
Biaozi pretended to furrow his brows, as if deep in thought, and then patted his head, feigning innocence, "Ah, I’m really bad at remembering people, I’m sorry, I cannot recall who you’re talking about."
His acting might have been poor, but it was enough to stabilize the situation momentarily, ramping up the tension in the air.
"Then, what about the person you bought? We can recognize her ourselves."
Xie Xinghua’s voice carried a hint of urgency and tremble, as if each word was fighting to restrain the anxiety and anger inside her.
Biaozi’s face showed full apology, his eyes darting evasively, "The deals I make are all for quick turnovers. Those people, alas, they’re quickly passed on after only a short stay in my hands."
