Those three words were filled with hatred.
“I’ll tell you!” The man was scared out of his wits. He hugged his head and begged for mercy. “Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! They gave me money to say that. They said that as long as someone comes, I’ll just tell them that no matter who asks me!”
Jiang Yao was so angry that she kicked the man’s shot knee. “I don’t want to listen to nonsense. I want to hear what you really saw!”
The man screamed in pain, like a pig that had been killed for a few seconds. When he saw the fierce woman raise her leg again, he did not even bother to cry out in pain. He immediately said, “I leaned against the wall and saw that Brother Da, who seemed to be the boss, took the man called Colonel Lin and drove away from Huque Street with a few other people. The other people really went in the direction of the mountain. They crossed the mountain and walked past a village. There was a river in the village. It used to be a port, but it has been abandoned now. It seemed like they were going to that port! I don’t know anything else. What I know is what I eavesdropped out of curiosity.”
“How much money did they give you to scam those soldiers who were protecting your safety and interests?” Jiang Yao pointed at the soldier behind her and patted him.
“Three… three hundred.” The man on the ground was so scared that he was about to cry. He looked at the gun’s muzzle and did not dare to move.
“Three hundred bucks is enough to sell your conscience. You know that they are bad people, but you still helped them cheat people for three hundred bucks! Do you know how many people will die because of your casual lie? Do you know how many lives will be taken? I really want to kill the kind of person who did not even care about his conscience for money!”
