Guan Xiaoling's answer was very cautious, almost trying to avoid any connection with the matter.
But it was precisely this caution that made Xie Beichen and the others feel that something was wrong.
Because Guan Xiaoling is an ordinary public figure no matter how you look at her. The most she has to do with this incident is that she saw a vehicle on the roadside and exclaimed. There is no need for her to be cautious and avoid this kind of situation when answering every question.
This kind of caution, from a certain perspective, is itself a huge problem!
"How long has your mother been ill?"
Seeing that direct questioning would not yield any progress, Xie Beichen changed the subject and moved to the side to look at Widow Wang, who was standing aside, but still trying hard to attract other people's attention despite being blocked by Guan Xiaoling.
“It’s been a while.”
Although she didn't know why Xie Beichen suddenly asked about her mother, Guan Xiaoling hesitated for a moment and answered honestly: "After my father's accident, my mother's health has not been very good. Later, when my brother got into trouble, she was completely devastated and became what she is now.
If it weren’t for the help from everyone in the village, my mother and I would have died long ago.”
Guan Xiaoling's caution was reflected in every aspect. Even when Xie Beichen asked a question as casually as a casual chat, her answer was comprehensive and she tried her best not to leave any flaws.
"Then don't you want to go to the hospital?"
Although Xie Beichen's eyes were always on Guan Xiaoling, his gaze never left Widow Wang behind her.
"She seems to be in good spirits now. Medical conditions are much better now than before. Maybe..."
Before Xie Beichen could finish his words, Widow Wang raised her hand with all her strength and slapped Guan Xiaoling on the back, then rolled off the bed with a force.
The sudden change happened too quickly. Guan Xiaoling subconsciously turned around and wanted to help, but Guo Zhen on the side moved faster. In the blink of an eye, he got to the ground before Guan Xiaoling and supported Widow Wang who had fallen to the ground.
Widow Wang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She ignored Guan Xiaoling's attempts to stop her and reached out to grab Guo Zhen tightly, refusing to let go.
Seeing that something was not right, Guan Xiaoling immediately reached out to pull her mother away from Guo Zhen. However, since Guo Zhen was already next to her mother, how could he leave so easily?
At this moment of tug-of-war, Xie Beichen suddenly reached out and stopped Guan Xiaoling who was trying to pull her mother away.
"What are you going to do to my mother?"
Guan Xiaoling saw that she was being held by Xie Beichen and could not move, so she started to struggle in panic. However, Xie Beichen did not give her too much time to argue, but looked at her coldly with a dagger in his eyes: "I want to ask, what did you do to your mother!"
He paused, and seeing that Guan Xiaoling was still planning to continue struggling, he simply didn't bother to continue arguing with her, and said directly: "You probably don't know, I can read lips a little.
Your mother, what she has been trying to say just now, is crying out for help!"
Guo Zhen was also shocked by Xie Beichen's words, but he reacted quickly and did not bother to ask Xie Beichen about his lip reading ability. He directly helped Xie Beichen to hold down Guan Xiaoling, who wanted to resist because the truth was exposed and she could no longer hide it.
Perhaps feeling that there was no way to disguise and cover up this time, Guan Xiaoling simply gritted her teeth and took ruthless action.
Guo Zhen was caught off guard for a moment. If Xie Beichen hadn't taken over quickly and helped him block the attack, he would have suffered a great loss this time.
Guo Zhen gasped and saw the two people fighting back and forth in the room. He did not dare to rush forward to disturb them. He just hurriedly escorted Widow Wang to the door to prevent Guan Xiaoling from coming over to kill her and silence her.
Of course, Guan Xiaoling must have had the same idea.
However, Xie Beichen's attack was so powerful that she couldn't breathe after just a few moves. It even became difficult for her to protect herself, so how could she have the time to deal with other things?
Soon, Guan Xiaoling had her chin and hands removed by Xie Beichen and was pressed to the ground without any resistance.
"Brother, I've always been curious, why do you always break someone's jaw every time you catch them?" Guo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Beichen subdued the man. While helping Wang Lanfen back to the bed, he turned back and smiled at Xie Beichen with some curiosity.
“It’s just a habit I developed before.”
Xie Beichen was slightly startled, and after a long pause he spoke: "There was once a time when we arrested a criminal who had sneaked into the country. After he was caught, he took advantage of our guards not paying attention and bit the poison hidden in his tooth socket and committed suicide.
So from then on, I developed this habit.”
Guo Zhen had only asked casually. After hearing what Xie Beichen said, he did not delve into it. He nodded and turned his attention to Wang Lanfen on the bed: "Auntie, don't be afraid. We have subdued that man. No one can hurt you anymore. You can tell us anything."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and added to Wang Lanfen with a somewhat apologetic tone: "Sorry, I forgot that it is inconvenient for you to speak now.
How about this, I ask and you answer, okay?"
Guo Zhen's words made Wang Lanfen slowly calm down. Hearing his proposal, she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.
"You can't speak now, is it because of the previous illness?"
Guo Zhen also knew that this question was a bit boring, but looking at Wang Lanfen's current state, he could only start with these irrelevant questions and slowly relieve her pressure.
Wang Lanfen shook her head gently, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably. She slowly opened her mouth and pointed at the half of her tongue that was left in her mouth.
Even though Guo Zhen was mentally prepared to a certain extent, the miserable condition of Wang Lanfen in front of him still made his pupils shrink and he gasped.
This is too...
"Auntie, this person shouldn't be your real daughter Guan Xiaoling, right?"
Seeing Guo Zhen was stunned, Xie Beichen did not hesitate any longer. Instead, he walked forward slowly and looked at Wang Lanfen, pointing at Guan Xiaoling who was tied up tightly on the ground and asked, "And from what I can see now, not only your daughter, but also your husband and your son, should have died at her hands, right?"
As soon as Xie Beichen said this, Wang Lanfen's tears flowed faster. She nodded frantically and stretched out her hand to grab Xie Beichen's sleeve. She pointed at Guan Xiaoling on the ground with hatred, and then looked up at Xie Beichen with pleading eyes - revenge, she wanted revenge! She wanted to give justice to her relatives who died in vain!
