NOVEL NEXT Chapter 144: You Don't Trust My Hearing?
Wang Ye, listening to the middle-aged man's words, mocked, "Since I have acted against you, you should know that your identity has been exposed."
"What are you talking about? What identity of mine has been exposed? Aren't I just the man your father sent?" the middle-aged man, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, feigned confusion.
Su Wanqing also spoke up from the side toward Wang Ye, "Yeah, Wang Ye, he knows where your parents are. How could he possibly be an impostor? You must have misunderstood something."
"Sigh."
Hearing these words from Su Wanqing, Wang Ye sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
Su Wanqing was too easily deceived.
Even now, she still believed that the middle-aged man was indeed the one her father had sent.
Wang Ye walked toward a cabinet in the room, an old-fashioned piece from decades ago that was not as finely made as today's furniture.
So it looked quite cumbersome.
The space inside was also very large.
The middle-aged man was facing the doorway, his back to Wang Ye, not knowing what Wang Ye was doing. He kept talking, "Let me go quickly. If something happens to me, then you definitely won't be able to see your parents after this."
"Don't you believe me? I'm the one who knows where your parents are. Ask anyone else—who can tell you the current whereabouts of your parents? Only I can provide you with this information."
The middle-aged man kept talking, his voice carrying on.
While the middle-aged man was still speaking, Wang Ye had already reached the front of the cabinet and opened its doors.
Inside the cabinet, an old man was curled up, his body stuffed inside, with a towel in his mouth. Due to his age and being confined in the cabinet for a long time, his whole being seemed muddled, as if he was about to faint at any moment.
Su Wanqing was always watching Wang Ye.
As Wang Ye pulled the old man out of the cabinet, he said to Su Wanqing, "See? That middle-aged man isn't someone my parents sent. The person in the cabinet is."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, the middle-aged man immediately shut up.
Now that Wang Ye had found the real person, any further denial from him would be futile.
With Wang Ye's help, Su Wanqing helped move the old man hidden in the cabinet, whose consciousness was already murky, out, and with their support, they placed him on the bed.
The old man needed more time to recover.
Su Wanqing turned her gaze to Wang Ye, somewhat surprised, and asked him, "How did you know that the middle-aged man wasn't, and that the old man was hidden in the cabinet?"
Su Wanqing felt Wang Ye was truly amazing, as if he possessed some kind of foresight, making it very hard to keep anything from him.
Wang Ye glanced at the middle-aged man, "From the moment I entered the door and he saw me, he said that I resembled my father. At that time, I didn't feel anything was amiss."
"But after that, he spilled all the information that seemed very important to us, and that's when I began to suspect him."
"Suspect?"
Su Wanqing raised her head, looking at Wang Ye as if she didn't quite understand what he was saying.
"Yes, suspect," Wang Ye said, nodding, "Even if he thought I looked a lot like my father, information as important as my parents' background is hard for ordinary people to find out so completely."
"How could he just casually reveal such details? He must have planned to give us a fake address."
"In the end, when he walked toward the outside and glanced at me, there was a moment of smugness in his eyes, brief as it was, but I caught it."
After Wang Ye shared these revelations with Su Wanqing, she looked at him with great admiration in her eyes.
Wang Ye was simply amazing.
Just by relying on this information, he had come to know the truth of the matter.
Yet, if it were her, she would have ignored this information, not giving it so much thought.
The middle-aged man felt unsatisfied, "Is this all? You can be certain, yes, that I was deceiving you, and so you moved directly against me?"
"No."
Wang Ye shook his head, "If it were just this, I definitely wouldn't have moved directly against you. But what if I said, I heard the sound of an elderly person's breathing coming from inside the cabinet?"
"Ridiculous." The middle-aged man scoffed.
"You don't believe that my hearing is so acute that I can easily hear even the breaths of others?" Wang Ye spoke with a thick layer of mockery as he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stayed silent.
But the expression on his face was enough to clearly convey what the middle-aged man thought.
He didn't believe it.
Seeing the middle-aged man's disbelief, Wang Ye smiled and said, "At a sixty degree direction, outside, there's someone lurking there; at an eighty degree direction, behind a tree, there's also someone hiding."
As Wang Ye's words came out, sweats began to appear on the face of the middle-aged man who was facing away from Wang Ye.
If it weren't for the fact that the middle-aged man was immobilized by Wang Ye's silver needles, Wang Ye's aforementioned words would have undoubtedly caused the middle-aged man's body to quake.
Because, what Wang Ye said was all correct.
Wang Ye turned the middle-aged man's body in a different direction, making the man face him and he asked, "Do you feel that what I've said is correct?"
When Wang Ye questioned the middle-aged man, he still wore a shallow smile on his face.
Yet, the smile on Wang Ye's face gave the middle-aged man a chilling sensation.
"Correct."
Eventually, the middle-aged man spoke.
"Tan Long!"
"At sixty degrees, and eighty degrees, there are people lurking there, forget it..."
Wang Ye was about to instruct Tan Long to capture those men, but after some thinking, he felt it was more reliable to act on his own.
Whoosh.
Wang Ye's body transformed into an afterimage, in a mere instant he darted out, and moments later, he dragged two people out from their hiding places to place beside the immobilized middle-aged man.
Wang Ye looked at the three men, and like the middle-aged man, the other two were also pierced with silver needles by Wang Ye, allowing them to speak but not to move.
"Speak up, all three of you, who are you and why are you here?"
None of the three opened their mouths.
Seeing this, Wang Ye chuckled.
Playing tough guys in front of him?
But the issue was, he had too many methods at his disposal, he didn't fear people playing tough guys before him.
Because those who played tough guys in front of him were going to be coerced by his other methods into speaking.
A few more silver needles were inserted into the bodies of these men.
