Chapter 1883: Chapter 1880: Possibility

His face was as pale as paper, and even his voice was weak.

After Chu Heng had him brought over like a dead dog, the doctor who had been with the group stepped forward to take his pulse.

"You... what are you doing?" Heshan felt uneasy because Chu Heng was not following the plan.

He glared at him warily, unwilling to let the doctor feel his pulse.

He was directly pressed on his acupoint, his body went numb, and he lost all strength to resist.

"Sir, it’s done." The doctor nodded to Chu Heng, then stepped back at his signal.

Only then did Chu Heng feed him a bowl of water.

The moment Heshan smelled the medicine, he sensed something was wrong and struggled, not wanting to drink it.

But Chu Heng gave him no chance to struggle, forcibly pinching his face.

No matter how skilled Heshan was in medicine, he had no martial skills, and exhausted from being tormented for so long, he had no strength left to resist now he was being restrained.

It was only after seeing Heshan drink the medicine with his own eyes that Chu Heng released him, took the handkerchief handed over by the guard, and gently wiped his fingers.

Heshan fell to the ground, gasping for breath, looking at Chu Heng with eyes full of hatred.

However, this situation did not last long.

Soon his voice cursing became faint, and his eyes turned dazed.

Chu Heng watched him silently, not asking questions immediately.

Instead, he had paper and ink prepared before he started asking questions one by one.

Heshan answered the questions slowly, as if drugged, answering purely out of instinct.

As Chu Heng looked at the responses on the paper, a shadow of deep meaning flickered in his eyes.

After finishing the ordinary questions, he then asked, "What is your relationship with Bai Yao?"

It was only then that Heshan took a long pause, his voice carrying an annoyed tone, "Her, I don’t know her, the tramp."

"Where did the medicine in your hand come from?"

"Medicine..." Heshan looked at him in confusion, "No medicine, it suddenly appeared... in the house."

"Oh, I see, Bai Yao gave it to you." Chu Heng repeated nonchalantly, as if drawing a conclusion after obtaining answers from interrogation.

Heshan’s fingers under his body suddenly trembled, so quickly that it almost went unnoticed.

But not to Chu Heng.

He clearly observed the other’s movement, yet pretended not to see it.

"Who else is around Bai Yao?"

Soon, Chu Heng obtained a list of several people.

"Who is Huo Qun?"

"Does Song Nian have a wife?"

"Who introduced Zhang Yang to the job at the dock?"

A series of questions caught Heshan off guard, he answered hesitantly, and didn’t even notice that several of his answers were somewhat uncertain.

It was obvious this was because he did not know the information about the people being asked about.

Watching his reactions, Chu Heng crossed out Song Nian and Huo Qun’s names, then added two more.

Meanwhile, when Heshan mentioned a name as ’Zheng Daqian,’ Chu Heng directly changed it to ’Zheng Daron.’

The intensive questioning made it impossible for Heshan to keep his mind constantly focused; with a slight moment of distraction or hesitation, he failed to realize where the name was incorrect.

Then Chu Heng brought up two more names.

"Bai Yao has cast Gu on the King of Huainan." Chu Heng said straightforwardly.

This time, Heshan’s response was even slower, "No, I don’t know."

Chu Heng directly considered more possibilities.

Indeed, after Heshan’s prolonged disguise and thinking, in his physically weakened condition, he was sweating profusely, with more and more flaws showing.
