Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 69: There is no future in being a bootlicker

The most common method of interrogation is not torture, but psychological warfare.

Lu Zhan was not good at this, but through his understanding of Xu Hu, he judged that the other party was not a heinous person, but might be a pathetic bootlicker.

The reason why we judge him as a bootlicker is simple.

Women in the Great Zhou Dynasty had to get married when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. If they were not married by the age of twenty, they would be pointed at and regarded as leftover women.

Even if they are immortal cultivators, if they do not have good talents, they will choose to go down the mountain and live a mortal life.

Even though Pei Xiu and Xu Hu are also cultivators, their realms are very low and their future is not bright.

In this case, the two had already been engaged, so getting married was a natural thing. If the Pei family disliked the decline of the Xu family and wanted to cancel the engagement, it was understandable.

But the current situation is that the Pei family does not mention it to the outside world, but Xu Hu always tells the villagers that he is engaged and that they are in love.

Xu Hu's mother also regarded Pei Xiu as her future daughter-in-law and was very satisfied with her. If there was no reason, she would not have done so even if she was being sentimental.

The biggest possibility is... Xu Hu is unilaterally acting as a bootlicker. Pei Xiu is actually unwilling to do so, but he is keeping Xu Hu hanging and giving him hope.

Moreover, the villagers praised Xu Hu highly. If a person wants to disguise himself to be recognized by everyone, and do so day after day for years, then his scheming must be extremely deep... How could he do such a stupid thing as kidnapping the princess?

Therefore, Lu Zhan inferred that his original intention was not bad, and there was a high probability that he was being used by the Pei family, so he played the family card.

After Xu Hu finished crying, Lu Zhan said, "Think about your mother."

Xu Hu lowered his head, seemingly struggling.

"This is a crime that will lead to the extermination of the family. Is it really worth it for a woman?" Lu Zhan looked at him and said calmly, "If she had you in her heart, she would have married you long ago, not just waited until you were an old maid. Your mother raised you with great difficulty, is this how you repay her?"

"I..." Xu Hu raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and he trembled and said, "I... I didn't know that was the princess..."

Lu Zhan always believed that as long as one was not a pervert who hated everything, even if one was indifferent to love between men and women, one could not give up the love between mother and child... because this was the instinct of being human.

Xu Hu was no exception. He didn't even need Lu Zhan to say much. He only needed to think about the suffering he had endured and his mother's old age, and his psychological defenses would continue to collapse.

However, Xu Hu's degree of licking the dog was beyond Lu Zhan's imagination.

Because the Xu family only fell into decline ten years ago, he and Pei Xiu had always had a good relationship when they were young. Unexpectedly, when he was about to get married, his father passed away suddenly, and his business was soon divided up by his uncles and aunts, and the mother and son were driven out.

There are many dark secrets in the mansion, many of which are unimaginable. Since the decline of the family, the attitude of the Pei family has gradually become cold.

However, Xu Hu admired Pei Xiu, and his feelings were so deep that he could not extricate himself. Even though Pei Xiu was indifferent to him, he was still thinking about Pei Xiu in his heart.

Half a month ago, Pei Xiu suddenly found him and said that she needed his help with something... She said that a maid in her family had secretly become pregnant with a man, but the man ran away. The maid's affair spread throughout the family and she was criticized. Because the maid grew up with her, she couldn't bear to see the maid being despised by the world, so she asked Xu Hu to help send her to a farm in the countryside of Yanling.

"Do you believe it?" Lu Zhan asked.

Xu Hu burst into tears: "I had some doubts at the time, but I thought this was Uncle Pei... Uncle Pei's people. I thought Ah Xiu didn't agree, so I knocked her out and sent her away. I never thought it was the princess. It wasn't until she was caught and brought here that I realized how serious the matter was, but I... but I don't want to implicate Ah Xiu!"

You are the one who is implicated... Lu Zhan looked at Xu Hu, who was crying, and didn't know what to say.

Since ancient times, the least valuable thing is to bootlickers.

Because love may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple. If two people like each other, it is easy to be together.

Women are not as hard to pursue as you might imagine. If you give your heart and time to her and she remains unmoved and rejects you sternly, that is normal. But if her attitude is ambiguous, then you should realize that something is wrong.

There is no future in being a bootlicker... Often the cool girl you are bootlicking may be more proactive than you can imagine in front of other people.

However, Lu Zhan did not completely believe Xu Hu's words. After the interrogation, he used the magic of hypnosis to confirm that Xu Hu was not lying.

Walking out of the cell, Lu Zhan waited for Xie Chunyan.

After Pei Kun was arrested, Xue Feng and Xie Chunyan interrogated him repeatedly. This old man was surprisingly tough, but the interrogation methods of the Demon Suppression Bureau were beyond imagination. As long as they wanted to pry open the secret, they could.

Because Pei Kun was at the Mysterious Realm, Lu Zhan did not participate in the interrogation. If there were any problems with the use of the Bewitching Technique, he would be the one to take the blame. Before you have a complete grasp of it, you need to be cautious when using the Bewitching Technique.

But at this moment, his cultivation chat group... no, the soul bowl suddenly vibrated.

...

Lu Zhan’s spiritual sense sneaked in and it was number one.

[Black Water No. 1]: "You should be careful in Jinling these two days. Don't do anything extreme on your own initiative. No. 5 has been called back to the sect and is said to have been severely punished by the elders."

According to current speculation, Shutong is the younger brother of No. 5...which means that No. 5 was involved in the kidnapping of the princess, and he assisted Lao Pei.

But even though the Black Water Sect is rampant, it doesn't mean they want to go against the royal family... Number Five's behavior was a bit brainless, and it just so happened that the Black Water elder was in a bad mood these days, so he called him back and gave him a severe education.

"I understand..." Lu Zhan replied.

[Black Water No. 1]: "Well, make some more strengthening pills."

After seeing this message, Lu Zhan had many thoughts about Number One. What on earth was this guy doing every day? Why did he need this thing so urgently?

However, Number One proposed deals from time to time, and he was very familiar with Zhi Gang. If this continued, problems would arise sooner or later. After this matter was over, it would be safest to find a way to kill the other party, Lu Zhan made up his mind.

Not long after, Xie Chunyan walked out under Xue Feng's admiring gaze.

"Have you come up with any results from the interrogation?" Lu Zhan asked.

Xue Feng sighed, "That old guy was really stubborn. I used a lot of torture on him but it was useless. In the end, it was Old Xie who came to the rescue."

"Hmm?" Lu Zhan was very curious.

Xie Chunyan was a little embarrassed: "Nothing... I told him that if he didn't confess, I would turn him into a eunuch, feed him a few aphrodisiacs, and take him to the street..."
