Chapter 1891: Interrogation Chapter 1891: Interrogation Editor: Henyee Translations The attendees that evening prised the leader of the Tiger Head Tribe and the second-in-mand of the Min Family Tribe.
Two days prior, Min Si had returned, adamant about bringing his original followers to abduct Madam Shao.
Despite efforts to dissuade him, his pride prevailed, and his panions could only acquiesce.
Confident in his vigilance, Min Si believed he could evade any trouble unscathed.
However, to his surprise, none of them returned the following day, nor did anyone return the day after.
The sudden turn of events left everyone incredulous.
Suspicions turned toward the local official, whom they accused of foul play.
Frustration boiled over as curses filled the mountain air, and in their rage, furniture was shattered.
Was their visit tonight directed towards Fan Ruyin?
Fan Ruyin hastily explained, “I’ve taken her to Qingsong Monastery as instructed, but no one showed up.
Don’t blame me—I’ve fulfilled my part.” “Enough!” snapped the Tiger Head Tribe leader impatiently.
“Tell us precisely what transpired at Qingsong Monastery that day.
Leave nothing out!” Fan Ruyin found herself pelled to suppress her grievances and recount every detail of the previous day’s events.
As she spoke, the furrows in the brows of her audience deepened, their expressions morphing into clear displeasure and disdain.
Despite their impatience and occasional snide remarks, Yi Jian endured and listened attentively.
However, as Fan Ruyin persisted in her rambling narrative about the happenings at Qingsong Monastery, the leader of the Tiger Head Tribe erupted, slamming his fist onto the table.
“Enough with the trivialities!
Speak something of substance, woman!” Startled, Fan Ruyin faltered.
She couldn’t discern her mistake.
Yet, she dared not retaliate in anger.
Instead, she swallowed her frustration and pressed on, filled with regret and trepidation, realizing the grave consequences of her actions.
As her tale concluded amidst continued curses, Fan Ruyin pondered the formidable entity she had unwittingly provoked.
The dissatisfaction between the two of them only intensified.
“That’s all you have to say?” “I-I’m sorry, that’s all…” “Useless!” The Tiger Head Tribe leader’s reprimand was sharp.
“Are you as dumb as a rock?
Our people are missing, and you didn’t think to investigate?
Damn it!
How did the officials find out?
How?
Did you betray us?” “No, no, I swear I didn’t!
How could I even dare!” Fan Ruyin shrank into herself, trembling with fear.
She truly feared these individuals.
Witnessing her fear, a slap landed on her face, stinging with burning indignation.
The Min Family Tribe’s second-in-mand intervened, “Qing, calm down.
I doubt this fool has the guts.” Fan Ruyin bit her lip, casting her gaze downward with sullen resignation.
She silently retorted, ‘You may call me a fool, but you’re no better, always getting captured…’ Fury flickered in the Tiger Head Tribe leader’s eyes as he glared at Fan Ruyin.
He longed to unleash his anger upon her, but rescuing her remained the top priority.
“Find another way to lure that official’s wife out of the city.” “What?…” Fan Ruyin appeared on the verge of tears.
“I’m scared… I fear it won’t be simple… After coaxing her out of the city numerous times, I worry she’ll bee suspicious!” The Min Family Tribe’s second-in-mand cast a disdainful glance her way.
He privately acknowledged that this fool of a woman was displaying a moment of intelligence, but Qing remained puzzled by her apprehension.
