360 Thinking About the Terrifying Truth
No one expected Lin Suisui to suddenly attack them at this moment. However, because it was too sudden, the three of them were caught off guard.
Of course, there was a reason why Lin Suisui chose to start with this family. From what she knew, among the families in the village that were on good terms with the Fang family, this family was the closest to Mrs. Luoâs family. Secondly, there were only the three of them in the family now. It was said that the men had gone to the town to do work and rarely came back. Therefore, even if they were trapped in Mrs. Luoâs home, no one would suspect anything for the time being.
This change in situation was too sudden. Not to mention the three of them, even Mrs. Luo and the others, who were prepared, were still shocked.
âMadam Liu, what are you doing?â Mrs. Luo looked at Lin Suisui uneasily.
!!
Although she knew that Lin Suisui wasnât the kind of person who would attack people without a care, she was still a little shocked by this commotion.
After all, the three of them usually had a good relationship with Mrs. Luoâs family, so it was really difficult for Mrs. Luo to accept that they were evil people with ulterior motives.
âAunt, go out with Ruiâer first.â Lin Suisui didnât answer Mrs. Luoâs question directly and only turned around as she said to her in an unyielding tone, âAfter everything is investigated, Iâll naturally tell you the truth. However, I still have to ask you to wait a little longer.â
When Mrs. Luo heard Lin Suisuiâs words, she knew that the seriousness of this matter had exceeded her expectations, so she didnât ask further. After she agreed in a low voice, she brought Fang Ruiâer out.
Only Lin Suisui, Su Le, and the others were left in the room, as well as the mother and daughter, who were already tied up on the ground.
âHow about it? Do you want to tell me yourself, or should I get someone to speak up for you?â Lin Suisui waited for Mrs. Luo to leave before looking down at the three people on the ground.
The woman had already recovered from her initial panic at this time. She looked up at Lin Suisui with an innocent and pitiful expression. âMadam, we really donât know what youâre talking about.
We were born and raised here. We have a household registration as proof.
If there was really anything fishy about us, the villagers in this village would have captured us long ago. Although we donât know why youâre treating us like this, we also know that you definitely wouldnât capture us for no reason. There must be a misunderstanding.
âMadam, please investigate the situation clearly and let us leave.â
The womanâs words were reasonable. Not only did she not express resentment towards Lin Suisuiâs mistreatment, but she even showed understanding and acceptance.
However, Lin Suisui was unmoved by her kindness.
She only looked up at Su Le. âIâll leave the rest to you guys.â
After saying that, Lin Suisui stood up and left with Bai Guo and the others without looking back.
At this moment, Lu Ze was on the mountain. However, in comparison to Lin Suisui, Lu Zeâs methods were not that gentle.
The brothers on the mountain originally wanted to persevere for a while longer, but after less than an hour of torture, the two of them revealed everything they knew.
Not only did they tell Lu Ze everything he knew, but they also took the initiative to bring Lu Ze and the others to the mine in the mountains.
During the questioning along the way, Lu Ze finally understood why they felt that this village was so strange.
Just as Lin Suisui had speculated, not only this village, but even the villagers in the nearby villages had been replaced.
Ever since the Gu family had accidentally discovered a silver mine in the mountain, the Gu family wanted to hide it and monopolize it.
However, if they really wanted to hide this kind of thing, it was very difficult for their family to do it alone. Therefore, after thinking about it, they thought of the Lin family, which had always had close ties with them.
The first step for the two families was to clear out the villages near this mountain range.
The villagers, who had originally lived here in peace, were caught up in the crisis. The Gu family brought soldiers to kidnap them and bring them into the mountain. They became miners who were confined in the mountain and never saw the light of day.
The villagers living in the village now were all servants transferred from the Gu and Lin familiesâ farms. In order to prevent these servants from betraying the Gu and Lin families, they didnât move entire families over. Instead, they implemented arrangements that made it convenient for them to monitor each other. If anyone was acting suspicious, the others would immediately report it and punish them severely.
Some of these peopleâs families worked in the silver mine in the mountain. The few times Mrs. Luo and the others had seen people enter the mountain and come back was when the men in the village had gone to change shifts with the mountain people.
Actually, if not for Mrs. Luoâs family and the Fang familyâs second son working in the army, coupled with the fact that they were refugees who had just migrated, they probably would have been sent to the mine in the mountains to do manual labor long ago.
As Lu Ze figured out everything, Lin Suisui also made considerable progress in the village.
The news she received was similar to what Lu Ze had received. The cruel truth immediately made Lin Suisuiâs expression turn solemn.
This scheme didnât just happen in the village in front of them, but in four or five nearby villages as well.
According to the mother and daughter, it had been two years since this silver mine was discovered. In the past two years, how many innocent villagers had died in that dark mine?
âTheyâve already been sent home.â Seeing that Lin Suisuiâs expression was unpleasant, Bai Guo hesitated for a moment before comforting her, âDonât worry, before this matter is settled, they wonât spout nonsense.â
âIn the past two years, the villagers in the nearby villages have been replaced. Could it be that the higher-ups really didnât notice at all?â When Lin Suisui thought of how this matter involved all kinds of factors, she couldnât help but feel a chill run down her spine. âThese villagers probably had families and relatives outside. How could those people turn a blind eye to all of this?
Or could it be that someone had actually discovered that something was wrong a long time ago, but this news couldnât be sent out?!â
