"Ah—"
Ma Bangde, drenched and soaking, poked his head out from the car door and immediately spotted the surrounding robbers, his face filled with terror as he screamed loudly.
"Honestly, where have you hidden the money?" the masked robber with the Nine of Bamboo mask on squatted in front of the car door, took out a clock, placed it beside him, and asked Ma Bangde, "When time is up, if you don't tell me, you'll get to 'eat peanuts.'"
"Ah!"
"Crying counts as time too."
Ma Bangde yelled, extremely scared, but his crying abruptly stopped under this threat.
"Just say whatever you know."
At this moment, the governor's wife spoke up with her delicate voice, which contrasted with Ma Bangde's panic, appearing composed and calm in the face of danger.
But Su Jie understood that this was because the governor's wife had her own assets—her beauty.
As for her, Ma Bangde's life and death were of no concern.
