Chapter 1784: Chapter 1784: Hiding on the Side Motionless

"It certainly is real," Lin Caisang said seriously as she nodded.

"So... I say—"

The elderly woman thought for a moment and felt that if she stayed in Wanling Agency any longer, death might be certain.

Since death was inevitable anywhere, she might as well spill everything about the boss right here. Who knows, it might even land her a better place to go.

"Everyone in Wanling Agency knows that our boss is incredibly elusive. Not a single person has seen how he enters the agency. I found out by accident."

As she spoke, she stealthily glanced at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo, then swallowed her saliva.

"On the north side wall of Wanling Agency, there is a dried-up well. It’s a creepy place, and even we in the agency dare not go near it, as it’s rumored that all the slaves killed in the agency are thrown into it.

I really discovered it by accident that I could actually go down into that well."

"Oh?"

Lin Caisang looked at her and uttered a light "Oh."

"Truly, I saw it with my own eyes."

Hearing her voice, the elderly woman thought Caisang didn’t believe her, so she quickly spoke again.

"Last year one evening, I had already gone home only to realize that one of my earrings had fallen off. It was a valuable piece given to me by the boss for my past achievements at the agency.

I hurried back to look for it. I searched the front and couldn’t find it, so I went to the back, and just by chance, I saw our boss arrive.

That back yard is off-limits for us brokers, so frightened, I immediately hid.

Then I saw our boss step into that dry well. Out of curiosity, I stayed hidden nearby, wanting to see if the boss was hiding some treasure there.

But I waited and waited until the following morning, when I finally saw the boss come out of that well, and I was bitten all over by mosquitoes.

When our boss came out, his clothes had been changed."

"Master, miss, what do you think? If the boss doesn’t live inside that dry well, where else could he live?" she said.

As Lin Caisang listened to her, she was utterly astounded.

A boss, presumably quite wealthy, living inside a dry well!

It seemed that the boss, fearing the town lord might covet his money, had found a good hiding place right from the start.

Unfortunately, he was seen by someone.

And this broker, probably not merely curious, must have thought that her boss had stored all his wealth in that dry well, right?

That’s why she thought about waiting for the boss to leave and then going down herself. If she could take something back with her, it would be wonderful.

"I don’t want to hear any of this. I want to know about Su Zhengzhong," Lin Caisang said.

She had no interest in someone’s private affairs; she always wanted news of her father.

"Information about that man? It’s simple. The boss certainly knows," the old woman immediately said.

"Then Su Zhengzhong’s arrival was timed just right, coinciding with an auction. But he wasn’t put up for auction; it seemed like he was directly taken away by some VIP.

At that time, I saw it myself, the boss came out to welcome that person. Su Zhengzhong was carried out, likely drugged," she explained.

As she spoke, she carefully recollected. She couldn’t remember the details, but at that moment, the boss was nodding and bowing to that person, which made her take a longer look.
