"I don't know anything," Zhu Qing maintained her indifferent demeanor.
Ling Chen smiled slightly, knowing Zhu Qing surely had some information, but she was unwilling to share it with him.
"Lady Zhu, if you tell me what you know, I might consider letting you go. How about it?"
"What if I refuse? Besides, how do you know I know anything about Ling Gengqiu's affairs? I'm just responsible for execution, everything else is none of my concern."
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, since you don't want to speak, I won't force you. Seek me out when you decide to talk. Until then, you'll have to stay for a while longer. Don't worry, I'll cover your meals and accommodation, free of charge."
Watching Ling Chen stand up and leave, Zhu Qing couldn't help but panic and hastily called out to him, "Wait! Ling, I warn you, if my family finds out you're detaining me, they won't let you off."
