Chapter 105 The Mysterious Man Also Doesn't Know
Then, Xie Wanru had just rescued Xie Yanting and hadn't even returned to Guhuang City when news came from the border that the Northern Barbarians had already retreated.
They only said that they were training their troops on their own territory, and that the Xie family army was too nervous, which caused the misunderstanding.
It is a fact that Xie Yanting was kidnapped, and it is also a fact that someone in Xuancheng deliberately spread rumors in an attempt to bring down the Xie family.
Everyone knew the truth of the matter, but there was no evidence pointing to Xiao Yan. This was because the kidnappers were only doing their jobs for money. They only knew that once they kidnapped Xie Yanting and sent him to Xuancheng, someone would meet him, and they would receive the remaining payment.
The only clue was the mysterious person Xie Wanru and her companions had encountered before.
Previously, everyone was so eager to find Xie Yanting that they didn't care about his identity. Now they realize that, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, they should at least find out who cooperated with Xiao Yan so that they can be more vigilant in the future.
Because this part of the content was not present in Xie Wanru's memories of her previous life.
"Wanwan, thank you for your hard work."
Xie Yanting patted Xie Wanru's head.
He thought the person who came to save him might be his second brother Xie Yanlin, or his eldest brother Xie Yanzheng, or even someone under his father's command.
But he never imagined it would be his beloved younger sister, Wanwan.
He knew Xie Wanru had come to the border, but he only thought that Wanwan needed to relax after her divorce. He never imagined that his mischievous sister, who needed to be cared for, would become so sensible.
"Third Brother, it's no trouble at all. We should thank Eldest Brother. If he hadn't found you by chance, I don't know how much longer I would have had to search."
When Xie Wanru saw Xie Yanting again, she felt that the most beautiful moment in the world was nothing more than this.
She was truly afraid of the feeling of losing her family.
"It's what I should do, no need to thank me. But if you want to thank me, please help me persuade my junior sister to return to Xuancheng. My master is really worried about her being on the border."
Xu Ning said with a smile.
The border region is not only harsh in terms of conditions, but also prone to war, making it an unsuitable place for women.
"Senior Brother, I don't want to go back."
Xie Wanru stated frankly that when she learned her father and brothers were in danger, she forgot her hatred and only wanted to be with her family.
The danger hasn't been eliminated yet, and we still don't know who's behind it all, so she won't go back.
Xie Yanting smiled and tried to persuade her, but Xie Wanru didn't listen at all. She just wanted to go back and ask that mysterious person if Xiao Yan had someone plotting for him.
However, the man in black remained tight-lipped and refused to reveal who was behind it all.
He was put in solitary confinement, but Xie Yanzheng didn't mistreat him; he was treated like an ordinary prisoner, with a warm quilt, though it was still cold.
The mysterious man was no longer as upright as before, and was curled up in the quilt.
Xie Yanting, dressed in the imposing armor specially made for a young general, stepped into the dimly lit cell, his eyes cold and resolute.
He slowly walked up to the mysterious man, squatted down, and said with an undeniable air of authority, "I know you're a man of principle. I won't pursue your crime of kidnapping me, but you should also be aware of your current situation. Your master can't save you, and it's safe to say that no one can get you out of Guhuang City."
Xie Yanting was kidnapped because he underestimated his enemy. Moreover, at that time, the other party used refugees to separate him from his subordinates and used an unknown powder to make him lose consciousness, which is why he was unable to escape.
But now the entire city of Guhuang is under Xie's army, and no one can save him.
The mysterious man's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was weighing something. He knew this would happen when he was captured, but he also knew that his master would most likely not send anyone to rescue him.
But he was a loyal follower, and he wouldn't easily submit.
Seeing this, Xie Yanting continued, "The Northern Barbarians have already withdrawn their troops. They said it was just a misunderstanding. So, has the agreement between your master and them ended? I just want to know what your purpose is. It doesn't matter who your master is. I will still let you go. After all, our Xie family has never been one to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Xie Wanru clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the mysterious man, anxious yet hopeful. Without knowing who the enemy was, there was no way to fight back.
"Moreover," Xie Yanting changed the subject, his voice low and powerful, "even if you don't tell, can you guarantee that the Northern Barbarians won't? It's obvious that the Northern Barbarians don't want to break ties with us right now, but the people who kidnapped me in the first place were indeed the Northern Barbarians. I will hold them accountable, and I will also find out who your master is."
The mysterious man's body trembled slightly, and finally, his tightly closed lips slowly parted, "You can't ask him, because I don't know either."
The mysterious man gave a wry smile.
Yes, he didn't know that the person always wore a black robe and mask when they met him, just like him.
He continued, “We are all dressed as my brother. The master is just wearing a different mask than us, so I have never seen him and do not know who he is.”
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have given up struggling. He leaned against the wall of the cell and stared out the small window.
"Kill me or torture me, do as you please, I have nothing to say."
People like them are people who have experienced life and death, or people who should have died long ago. Only those who are unburdened by worldly ties would become death warriors.
Xie Wanru was a little nervous about this sudden appearance.
She had considered many people, even suspecting that Shen Nian'an was an idiot, but upon closer inspection, she felt it was unlikely; Shen Nian'an didn't have that kind of brain.
Who would that be?
They initially cooperated with Xiao Yan, but later broke off relations and even terminated the plan.
Xie Wanru's thoughts were in turmoil, and she tried hard to unravel the complex relationships behind it all.
Xiao Yan's ambition and the existence of this mysterious organization have made the situation even more unpredictable. This is very different from the previous life, and Xie Wanru is no longer sure how the future will develop.
"Third Brother, it seems we need to think this through carefully; he really doesn't know."
Xie Wanru said in a deep voice, the mysterious man looked like he was ready to die and had lost all desire to live. She knew that this enemy might be particularly cunning and unpredictable.
Xie Yanting nodded with a solemn expression: "Yes, this matter must be handled carefully and discussed at length."
The two decided to temporarily suspend the interrogation. Since this mysterious organization was able to mobilize the Northern Barbarians and reach an agreement with them, its influence was by no means insignificant.
The entire Xie family was overjoyed at Xie Yanting's safe return.
Xie Wanru and Xie Yanting informed Xie Yanzheng of the interrogation results, and both he and his wife looked solemn.
An organization whose members don't even know who their master is is obviously very dangerous. This shows that the organization is extremely cautious, and it would be very difficult to find the person in question.
