228 It Seems Like You Haven’t Lived Long Enough
The servant’s turbid eyes rolled around unflexibly. “I’m old, and there are still some troublesome matters that haven’t been resolved. I really don’t want to get into any more trouble.”
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I just want to know why you took away the young master of the Mo family back then, and where you sent him to after that.”
“I’m getting old. I can’t remember some things clearly.”
The servant’s gaze swept around, looking for an opportunity to escape. Ning Dai saw through his intentions and directly sealed his acupuncture points with silver needles, making him unable to move.
“What are you doing?” The servant’s face was filled with panic.
“Don’t worry. I only sealed your acupuncture points. Once the needles are pulled out, you can move. Can you answer our questions now?”
Ning Dai’s tone was already a little impatient. If she had not guessed wrongly, this servant did not intend to easily tell the truth of the past.
A glimmer of scheming light flashed in the servant’s eyes. “It’s not that I can’t remember, but I can’t tell you guys just like that.”
Ning Dai raised her eyebrows slightly. “Oh? Then tell me, what do you want?”
The servant thought that Ning Dai was prepared to agree to his request, and his face couldn’t help but reveal a greedy expression.
“I know that both of you are people of status and reputation. As you have seen, I am being pursued by the debt collectors. As long as you help me repay the loan sharks and give me a sum of money, I guarantee that I will tell you everything I know.”
Mo Chen’s eyes were filled with disgust. “When you left the Mo family back then, the Mo family gave you a sum of money that was enough to live on for the rest of your life. Furthermore, you have done something that has let down the Mo family, yet you still have the face to ask us for money?”
The greed on the servant’s face could no longer be concealed, so he decided to act shamelessly.
“Young Master, you’re living a noble life. How could you understand my suffering?”
“The Mo family did give me a sum of money, but it wasn’t enough for me to repay my debt. All these years, my debt has been gaining interest. If you don’t help me, you’ll never be able to find the person who took the young master away back then.”
After that, the servant carried an obvious threat and smugness. He was certain that these two people would definitely compromise.
Mo Chen was so angry that he wanted to ruthlessly beat up this shameless person in front of him, but he was stopped by Ning Dai.
“Mo Chen, tie him up and bring him to a place. I guarantee that he’ll obediently spit out everything.”
To deal with a scoundrel like this, they naturally had to use even more scoundrel methods.
Mo Chen understood. Without waiting for the servant to speak, he knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the trunk.
When the servant slowly woke up once again, both his hands and feet were tied up and he was hanging in the air on the railings of the river crossing bridge.
“Help!” the servant immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
“…” Ning Dai and Mo Chen appeared in the sight of the servant.
The servant immediately looked as if he saw his savior and stared at them. “Young Master, Young Miss, please do me a favor and let me go.”
“You know the conditions for survival,” Ning Dai said slowly.
“You can’t do this to me! Help! They’re killing people!” the servant shouted at the top of his voice.
“Looks like you’re not going to tell me. That makes things easier.”
Ning Dai gave Mo Chen a signal with her eyes. Mo Chen loosened his grip and lowered the rope. The servant was so frightened that his voice changed pitch when he saw that the river was getting closer and closer to him.
