229 Why Did They Take Mo Heng Away
“What are you doing? Let me go!”
“You have to figure out who has your life in their hands. You are not qualified to negotiate.”
Ning Dai had a cold smile on her face. How could someone like the servant be willing to die so easily?
The servant looked at the surface of the river below his feet. There seemed to be something swimming over there, and more and more of it.
“I forgot to remind you. You don’t have to think that someone will come to save you, because we have already sealed off this road. I even threw some man-eating fish into the river in advance. I think these fish should be very excited now.”
The servant was really scared silly. Even though he was hanging, he still couldn’t stop shivering. More and more fish gathered below. He even saw the sharp teeth in the mouths of those fish.
“I’ll give you five seconds. If you’re willing to answer my question, I’ll pull you up. If you still don’t agree, then we’ll make the decision for you.”
Ning Dai’s tone was exceptionally relaxed. She stood by the bridge and looked down at the servant.
From the servant’s point of view, Ning Dai and Mo Chen stood together, one black and one white. It was as if death was standing in front of him.
He was so scared that he peed himself. The urine flowed down his body and onto his legs. His face was covered in snot and tears. He looked as pathetic as he could be.
“Five… Four… Three…”
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!” the servant shouted. Ning Dai and Mo Chen looked at each other. Mo Chen pulled the servant up by the rope.
The servant was sprawled on the ground. He looked at the two of them with fear in his eyes.
“Why did you take Mo Heng away back then?”
“Someone gave me a sum of money. He said that no matter if it was the eldest young master or the second young master, as long as one of them came out, it would be fine,” the servant recalled with a tremble.
“Do you still remember the appearance of the person who asked you to bring the child out?” Ning Dai continued to press him.
The servant nodded frantically. “I remember!”
His answer was too affirmative, and Ning Dai started to doubt him. “It has been almost twenty years. Are you sure you can still remember the appearance of the person clearly?”
“I don’t have much ability. It’s just that my memory is exceptionally good. I won’t forget someone I’ve met even if it’s only once.” Speaking of this, the servant had a trace of pride.
“Then tell me, what does this person look like?” Seeing the servant cooperate, Ning Dai’s tone softened a little.
“The person who bribed me is middle-aged, about forty years old. He has a well-proportioned figure, a square face, and a very straight nose. Especially those eyes. The corners of his eyes are drooping, and he looks very listless. His eyelids are often drooping.”
“His upper lips were very thick, and the corners of his mouth were drooping. In any case, he looked very listless and wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.”
The servant’s description was very firm. Ning Dai saw that he didn’t seem to be lying.
“If I find out that you’re lying, you know what will happen to you,” Ning Dai threatened.
The servant hurriedly waved his hand. “I don’t dare, I don’t dare!”
Only then did Ning Dai reluctantly believe his words. However, she didn’t remember such a person appearing before. She turned her head to look at Mo Chen.
“Mo Chen, have you seen this person before?”
Mo Chen pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “I’ve never seen this person before either. Could he be from the Mo or Ning family?”
