Chapter 468 Change of Face
Chen Shao already understood that this was a trap specially prepared for him by the other party!
Even if he dared to swear, Cao Wanning would still be dissatisfied with him in her heart!
Because Qian'er is his son, if he wants to cut off his lineage, he will let Qian'er die!
Chen Shao stared at the dark-faced man intently: "I never knew you had such a mind!"
"There are many things you don't know, but this one is not missing anyway."
The black-faced man laughed sarcastically, and his tone was quite meaningful. Chen Shao became more and more frightened when he heard it, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he was too soft-hearted and did not get rid of all the people who knew about it!
Moreover, he and Cao Wanning have lived in harmony over the years, and Cao Wanning has always been obedient to him, which has made him forget this unbearable past.
So much so that he was turned out at this moment and caught off guard!
The dark-faced man looked at Chen Shao's changing expression and continued to taunt him, "It seems that the island owner doesn't dare to swear, but this is not surprising. After all, a despicable and shameless person like you cherishes his life the most, so how could he be willing to die?
The Island Master and Madam Cao have been in love for many years, and Qian'er is their only child. So why are you unwilling to reveal those secrets for their sake?"
Chen Shao sneered: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If I tell you those secrets, the only thing waiting for me is death!"
The dark-faced man nodded. "That's right, but I can promise that as long as you tell me everything, I will keep them safe and will never let anyone touch them!"
At the end of his speech, his expression instantly turned ferocious, “But if you still refuse to speak, don’t blame the brothers for being disrespectful to Madam Cao.
After all, the brothers have been coveting a woman as beautiful as Mrs. Cao for a long time, and have long wanted to have a taste of her beauty and have a good time with her.
You also know what kind of people those people are. If a delicate beauty like Mrs. Cao falls into their hands, there will be not a single piece of good flesh left on her body.
Are you really willing to give it up?"
Chen Shao's expression turned extremely ugly. He looked at Madam Cao with complicated eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Do you really want to die?"
The dark-faced man laughed heartily: "Do you really think that the Cao family would start a war over a girl from the Cao family who has lost her reputation?
For the Cao family, Mrs. Cao was already dead when she was abducted.
Even if your people really were talking nonsense in Gusu City, the Cao family would never admit it. They would just say that someone was spreading rumors and slandering us. They would definitely not go to such lengths to get the imperial court to send out a large army!"
At this point, he laughed strangely, "Besides, how do you know that I haven't contacted the Cao family? The eldest master of the Cao family is quite interesting."
"You—" Chen Shao looked at the dark-faced man in disbelief, and suddenly guessed something. "It's you! Did you hide those ships? Did you have people write those scarlet words? You're really calculating!"
The dark-faced man's expression instantly darkened, and he snorted fearlessly, "So what if it's me? Chen Shao, when the Cheng'en Mansion and the Jia family encountered disaster, you should have guessed that your good days were over!"
At the end of his speech, he glanced coldly at Madam Cao and Chen Qian, "Come here! Since the island owner refuses to say anything, drag them out!"
Chen Qian was so frightened that he screamed: "Ah - what are you doing? Let me go - Daddy - Daddy save me - Ah -"
But how could he, a small man, be a match for these big men?
Soon, he and Mrs. Cao were dragged out.
Mrs. Cao said nothing, but just looked at Chen Shao silently with tears streaming down her face, and was finally dragged out helplessly.
Chen Shao felt reluctant, but he never said a word. He forced himself to look away, not daring to continue looking at her.
Mrs. Cao saw this and immediately burst into tears, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
After leaving the conference room, Chen Qian was taken away.
He was extremely frightened and kept shouting: "Mother - Mother -"
Mrs. Cao looked at him with tears in her eyes, but said nothing.
Until Chen Qian was forcibly taken away and she could no longer be seen, the big man who had just held her suddenly let go of her arms and bowed to her respectfully.
Just didn't say anything.
Mrs. Cao curled her lips slightly, and the pain and despair in her eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only coldness and ridicule.
She wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and her smile became brighter as she listened to the terrified screams of Chen Shao and Chen Shou coming from the conference room.
It’s great, she has finally waited for this day!
I just don’t know who did it last night and how could he be so powerful!
Mrs. Cao stood outside the conference room and listened for a long time. Only when Chen Shao and Chen Shou's voices became hoarse did she turn around and leave in disgust.
Not long after returning to the room, the dark-faced man came over.
However, he was very polite to Mrs. Cao. Not only did he not break into her room by force, he also bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Madam Cao said calmly. She walked to the main seat and sat down first. Then she said, "I've checked. Everything in the secret room has been taken away. The person who did it is definitely a terrifying master!"
The dark-faced man frowned uneasily. "Madam, are you truly sure that the enemy won't kill us? And that they can get the imperial court to recruit us?"
Madam Cao said confidently, "Now that the things have been taken away, it's okay to tell you that the entrance to the secret room here is hidden under the bed.
If the other party wants to take away the things in the secret room, they must move Chen Shao and me away before they can open the entrance to the secret room.
Despite the trouble, the other party did not kill us directly. Instead, they used some unknown means to make us fall into a coma and become unaware of it.
Since the other party is willing to go to so much trouble, it means that no matter who this person is, he does not want our lives.
As for recruiting them… The King of Zhou raised private soldiers and let them become bandits, but the court did not order their execution. Instead, it recruited these bandits…
With such precedents, why should you worry? You also know how profitable maritime trade is. It is impossible for the court not to be tempted.
Although you have engaged in plundering over the years, your main business is still smuggling. As long as you are willing to accept the amnesty, the court will definitely agree."
The dark-faced man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Madam Cao, "I'll have to trouble you with the matter of recruiting us."
Madam Cao said, "Let's build a boat as soon as possible. It'll be fine as long as it's usable for the time being. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We still have to find a way to contact that Eunuch Luo."
The dark-faced man immediately said, "I've already had people rushing to build the ship. I'll definitely have it completed as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, Madam Cao suddenly laughed and said, "Perhaps, before our boat is built, that Eunuch Luo will come to us on his own initiative."
At this time, she didn't know that Luo Zheng was indeed on his way, just to look for Xie Ying.
All these things that happened on Langhuan Island were diligently recorded by Xiao Miao who was hiding in the dark.
Time quickly came to the next morning.
Xie Ying was a little confused when she woke up: Where is this? Why does it seem like there is someone next to her?
