He then subtly led the topic to Guan Yan, and said to the strong man with a depressed look: "I'm just on duty. Look, I called home a few times. She just scolded me on the phone, saying that I don't take care of the family. Tell me, the manor has been so busy these days, how can I take care of the family?"
"That's right, all women are like this. They don't understand how hard it is for us out there." The sturdy man sighed.
"Isn't it? If they knew how to care for men, they wouldn't ask me to buy necklaces."
"Hey, it's not easy for any of us!" The sturdy man looked at his expression with more sympathy and became much closer to Qin Si.
Men tend to empathize with men who are unhappy in their marriages.
To put it bluntly, mercenaries are also men.
Qin Si's eyes flashed, he touched the tip of his nose, and took the opportunity to say: "Hey, didn't we invite a doctor yesterday? I don't know if the locked-up man is dead or not."
He was afraid that the strong man would be suspicious, so without waiting for the other party to react, he said, as if to himself, but also as if to explain: "She is going to die. I don't know how much time she will delay us. My wife is still waiting for me to go back..."
"She's not dead, is she?" The sturdy man said casually, "I saw a doctor coming out of the dungeon in the middle of the night carrying a medical kit, and their people brought it over."
The "they" he was referring to were the people from the hidden family headed by Nie Qingru.
The number of people Nie Qingru brought this time was not enough, so he recruited many mercenaries to be responsible for the security of the periphery. Only then could Qin Si easily sneak in with the help of Luo Fei's relationship.
The strong man has a lot of experience and is familiar with the people from the secluded family, so he knows a lot of things.
But they were not in the same group after all, and the strong man usually referred to Nie Qingru and Yingzi as "them".
Qin Si understood what was going on, and pretended to be curious and asked, "Is there a dungeon here?"
The sturdy man looked him up and down: "You don't know?"
Qin Si's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to keep calm on the surface, not revealing any flaws under the other party's gaze, and said calmly, "Ah, I'm new here."
The sturdy man put away the vigilance in his eyes and said, "I mean, you look unfamiliar. It seems that I haven't seen you before."
"Isn't this... just to make a living to support the family?" Qin Si touched his nose embarrassedly.
The sturdy man looked at him with more sympathy, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a sigh: "Hey, it's not easy for anyone!"
"That...that dungeon..." Qin Si couldn't wait to bring it up again.
The sturdy man put away his hands and said, "There is a secret cell in the basement. Some brothers were called in to help clean it up before. They said it hadn't been used for a long time and it was terribly dirty."
Qin Si asked: "Where is that dungeon?"
The sturdy man glanced at him: "Why are you asking this?"
Qin Si suppressed his excitement and tried to look calm: "I'm just curious so I can brag about it when I get home."
The sturdy man didn't say anything, and retracted his gaze: "There is someone imprisoned in there, and they attach great importance to that person. It's better for you not to ask about it."
Qin Si was unwilling to give up just like that, and was trying to bring the topic to a deeper level...
at this time.
There was a commotion outside.
The group of people who had gone out earlier came back angrily.
Among the people Shadow called, there were mercenaries.
Everyone was cursing and very angry.
The sturdy man was so focused on that that he forgot about Qin Si's existence. He strode over and grabbed the arm of a person who had returned. He asked, "What happened? Why are you back? Didn't you go to arrest someone?"
