There was a vacant courtyard, originally intended for visiting guests, but now a lamp was lit inside.
Daji unlocked the door for Ms. Liu and whispered, "Those two have woken up, and in accordance with your orders, I have imprisoned them separately."
Ms. Liu nodded, glanced inside the room from outside the window without entering, and then turned to visit the one who had remained fully conscious throughout.
His hands and feet were bound, tied with a special technique that made it virtually impossible to struggle free.
Daji brought Ms. Liu a chair, and after receiving her signal, he removed the cloth gagging the captive's mouth before kicking him and threatening, "Behave yourself, or you'll regret it."
Seated in her chair, Ms. Liu asked, "Who sent you?"
He didn't respond.
Ms. Liu didn't wait too long before continuing to look at him and ask, "Did you come for my Bai Family, or were you after someone else?"
He still didn't respond.
