Although the two people standing in front of Su Nian'an were all smiling, they could feel the deep weariness and indifference inside them.

Su Nian'an first asked the young man on the side, "Are you two from the same place? I mean from the same village."

The young man shook his head, and the other young man who was very familiar to Su Nianan nodded.

The two girls looked at each other and seemed to be having fun.

Su Nian'an said to Li Ling'er who was standing aside: "Miss Li, can you take this dishonest guy out to a private room and have a nice chat?"

Li Ling'er nodded, and when she stood up, she warned Su Nian'an in a low voice, "You can't let it go."

Su Nian'an rolled his eyes at her, "Are you thinking too much? Don't be like your brother."

Li Ling'er could only shake her head helplessly. In fact, she didn't know what kind of medicine was in Su Nian'an's gourd, and she didn't have much time to ask. She took the slightly embarrassed young man to a private room.

When the young man and Su Nian'an were the only ones left in the room, Su Nian'an looked at the familiar young man in front of him expressionlessly and asked, "Are you from Yueqiu Village, Fenniu Town, Qiantang City?"

The young man looked confused and said, "Girl, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Although his eyes were full of sincerity, Su Nian'an could see the alienation and fear in them.

Should such a young person be full of vigor and confidence, but he is not.

The anger in Su Nianan's heart was further ignited, and her voice was very soft, "Some time ago, bandits made trouble and your village was plundered."

As he spoke, he observed the young man, "There was a woman who fled to Qiantang City with an eight or nine-year-old girl. I was giving porridge to the refugees, and the two of them almost starved to death."

The young man's eyes finally showed a wave of deep hatred and deep longing.

Su Nian'an continued: "After giving each of them a bowl of porridge, they were resting aside. When I had time, I asked them why there were only mother and daughter left. They said that they had an quarrel with their husband two years ago and took the child with them.

She went back to her parents’ home with her daughter for half a month. When she came back because she missed her son, her home was gone..."

Su Nian'an was silent for a moment, "That little girl looks very similar to you. She is almost carved from the same mold. If her son is still alive, he should be about the same age as you."

"Can you tell me why this is? You should have remembered it two years ago."

After saying this, Su Nian'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat quietly on the chair, took a sip of fruit drink, and said no more.

The young man lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, and his tightly pursed lips also trembled.

After three full minutes, he took a deep breath and sat on Su Nian'an's left hand side.

Looking up again, Su Nian'an saw that his eyes had turned red, and there were various expressions of fear, longing, panic, and hatred intertwined in his eyes.

But his tone remained calm, "May I ask the girl your name? Where are you from? Why are you asking me these things?"

Su Nian'an looked at him with burning eyes, "My surname is Su and I come from Qiantang City. I want to know the truth of the matter, because there are too many tragedies like this in Qiantang City. I want to find out the culprit, and I can ask the governor for help."

When he heard Su Nian'an said that he could ask the governor for help, the young man's eyes brightened, but soon dimmed.

"In the past two years, all the people I have seen who fled were captured while escaping and tortured to death in front of everyone, without exception."

Su Nian'an was silent. She didn't know how to promise this, so she could only say: "I don't need you to do anything to expose yourself. You just need to tell me your experience here, as detailed as possible."

The young man nodded, "This is something I can do."

So, the young man began to tell how he came, as well as his experiences and knowledge after coming.

For a full hour, Su Nian'an listened with fear, and the anger in his heart almost broke through to the sky. He also secretly felt cruel. If such a cancer is not removed, it will be a waste of time for himself.

Seeing such a young person talking about his own experience in a calm tone, as if he was telling someone else's story, she felt inexplicably distressed. It was just how intense a psychological struggle he had gone through to do this.

Su Nian'an felt that her experience in contemporary times was cruel enough, but she never expected that there would be someone whose experience was more despairing than hers.

After calmly telling these things, the young man thought for a while, "If you can bring the governor to check everything here, I will be the first to come out and report it. I know many of the people they manage, and I don't want to die."

I will forget who sent me here."

Su Nian'an asked curiously: "Do you know this person?"

For the first time, the young man gritted his teeth and said: "Of course we know each other, we are still an acquaintance!"

"About four years ago, I went to Qiantang City with my parents, and happened to meet the then county magistrate and his family coming out for a show to visit the people."

"I can remember the faces of several people. When we were sent to this villa, it was the eldest son of the county magistrate. I don't know his name."

Su Nian'an raised his eyebrows slightly. It was indeed him. It seemed that he had to adjust his plan carefully.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, if we get to that point, I will definitely ask you to testify."

The young man nodded, "I know the man I was with just now. He is from a neighboring village. He has no ill intentions. Don't target him."

Su Nian'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are here just to get some information and make plans for the next step."

The young man fell into silence, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and glanced at Su Nian'an from time to time.

After staying for a while, Su Nian'an stood up and said, "Let's go! Remember not to talk nonsense when you go out."

The young man stood up and followed him, "My name is Ye Tianming. Miss Su, thank you for helping my mother and sister."

Su Nian'an chuckled, "I remember your name."

After leaving the room, Su Nianan looked at the maid aside, "Where is the one who came with me now?"

The maid pointed to the next room, "They are here."

When Su Nian'an heard this, he turned around and knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Ling'er was sitting at the table eating snacks, while the young man stood far away at the door without speaking.

Seeing Su Nian'an pushing open the door and walking in, Li Ling'er stood up impatiently, "If you don't come, I'll leave first."

Su Nian'an stepped forward and held her arm, smiling: "Then let's go! The matter is done."

Li Ling'er was still full of doubts, "The matter? Is it done? Have you really done it?"

Su Nian'an rolled her eyes at her, "What are you thinking about? I mean, my purpose of coming here has been achieved, and I already know the next step."

Li Ling'er patted the remaining fruit crumbs on her palm, "Okay! Go back quickly! If you stay for a while, my brother may explode on the spot."
