The man was curled into a ball, trembling.
"I… I really don't know."
Su Ye asked again,
"Why were you following me?"
The thug shook his head.
"That eunuch said… you… you might have a scroll on you."
Su Ye was taken aback.
'A scroll?'
"What scroll?"
"We don't know! We really don't know!"
Su Ye shifted her gaze to the other thug, who was lying nearby and trying to crawl away.
She retracted the spike and looked at him seriously.
"Do you want to suffer first and then talk, or are you going to tell me everything you know right now?"
The man scrambled backward on the ground, speaking in a terrified voice.
"He already told you everything we can! We really don't know anything else!"
Su Ye walked toward the man step by step, speaking slowly,
"For example, a token for meeting, a letter, or maybe a secret code. There must be something…"
As she spoke, she stepped on the man's ankle, stopping him from moving any further.
