When they learned that the Chu Feng standing before them was, in fact, the culprit who had slaughtered the Zhao Estate's people, the Zhao Estate's Grand Steward and the Head of the Ouyang Family were already scared witless. Not a single person dared to be disrespectful to Chu Feng again.
"Are you going to talk or not?" Chu Feng spoke to Wang Lianzhi again, his voice growing ever colder. He was starting to lose patience.
Because this Wang Lianzhi was not being honest at all. Right now… Chu Feng had them suppressed by force.
If their strength had surpassed his, Chu Feng believed his own fate would have been utterly miserable.
This group of people, including Wang Lianzhi, were all the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.
And Chu Feng despised that kind of person above all else.
"Master, save me! You have to save me!"
True to form, seeing things go badly, Wang Lianzhi cried out and ran toward the Head of the Ouyang Family.
"Get lost!" But the Ouyang Family Head flung his sleeve, directly blasting Wang Lianzhi away.
Although Wang Lianzhi wasn't as wretched as the Ouyang Family Head, when she hit the ground, she coughed up blood and was seriously injured.
"Master, you…" Wang Lianzhi was stunned. She didn't understand why the Ouyang Family Head would suddenly attack her.
"You wretched woman! What exactly did you do? Confess it honestly!" the Ouyang Family Head retorted dismissively. In his eyes, there was not a shred of pity; instead, he angrily questioned her.
Only then did Wang Lianzhi realize that the Ouyang Family Head was preparing to sacrifice her in order to save himself.
She was correct. The Ouyang Family Head was exactly that kind of person.
At this moment, the Ouyang Family Head looked at Chu Feng and said with a wronged expression: "Young Hero, this Young Hero, I truly didn't know she was such a malicious woman. If I had known, I would never have married her!"
"Do whatever you want to her. She has absolutely nothing to do with me! Please, just spare me, let my Ouyang Family go!"
The Ouyang Family Head was truly terrified. His voice trembled as he spoke, and his tone was utterly servile, so subservient he was practically ready to kneel and kowtow to Chu Feng.
In fact, if Chu Feng continued to press him, for the sake of self-preservation, not to mention kneeling and begging for mercy, he would be capable of even more shameless things.
However, Chu Feng paid no heed to the Ouyang Family Head's pleas. He didn't even glance at him.
Instead, he looked at Wang Lianzhi and said: "Still not talking?"
Wang Lianzhi had long since cried into a mess of tears. It wasn't just the pain of her injuries; it was mostly fear. Seeing how even the Ouyang Family Head and the Zhao Estate's Grand Steward had been scared witless, she knew deep down that today, she had fallen into a hopeless dead end.
"I really didn't do it! Song Xi is framing me! My Lord… please, have mercy! Let me go!"
"I truly never did it! If you harm me, then even if I say something, it would be a confession extracted under duress! It would be a gross injustice to me!"
Wang Lianzhi still refused to admit anything. Struggling to rise to her knees, she knelt on the ground, crying and wailing.
To the eye, she did look genuinely wronged.
But Chu Feng had been carefully observing Wang Lianzhi's expressions and reactions.
So he could be certain: this woman was lying.
"Confession extracted under duress? Rest assured, I will absolutely not extract any confession from you by force."
As Chu Feng spoke, he opened his palm. Dense, swarming things were surging within it.
Swish— Suddenly, Chu Feng flung his sleeve, and the objects from his palm landed all around Wang Lianzhi. The moment they hit the ground, they spread with astonishing speed.
They were actually a mass of wriggling insects. Not only was their appearance horrific, but they also emitted strange, chittering sounds.
