Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: The Ugliest Man

"My Lord, Miss Lin, I have already asked, and it was indeed this person who brought your father from Yongxia City to here. But after this person entered the City Lord’s Mansion, no one ever saw her again," Zhe Jue said as he looked at Lin Caisang.

"Never saw her again?"

Lin Caisang whispered these words softly, then her gaze swept towards the woman who was still unconscious.

"Zhe Jue, splash water on her," she instructed.

"Yes, Miss Lin."

Zhe Jue complied, immediately grabbing the copper basin beside him and splashing the cold water in it onto the face of the female City Lord.

"Ah!"

The female City Lord, having been splashed in the face, cried out in shock.

"How dare you treat the City Lord with such disrespect, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

She sat up abruptly and began to swear at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo fiercely.

"Oh, pretending to be asleep?"

Lin Caisang chuckled lightly, retorted her.

"I was thinking, if water can’t wake you, then we would have to use fire instead."

"You..."

The female City Lord was startled by her words, so angry she didn’t know what to do but to glare at her.

"She was pretending?"

Upon hearing his mistress’s words, Zhe Jue too was surprised with his mouth slightly agape.

No wonder all his efforts earlier didn’t wake the woman, making it impossible for him to begin the interrogation.

He thought he might have been too heavy-handed, but it turned out she was pretending!

"Miss Lin, let me do it. I guarantee that I will make this woman speak," he said, his cold eyes fixated on the female City Lord.

"No need."

Lin Caisang, however, raised her hand and dismissed Zhe Jue’s suggestion.

"Zhe Jue, go out to the street and find three... no, find five of the dirtiest, smelliest, ugliest men you can," she instructed Zhe Jue.

"Ah?"

Zhe Jue was stunned by his mistress’s order.

Did he hear wrong? She wanted him to go out and find men under these... circumstances...

"It seems our dear female City Lord quite enjoys the company of men; surely she mustn’t be able to endure days without them," Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows at the female City Lord and said.

"Since it is so, since we have invited the City Lord, we must not neglect her. According to my wish, go out and bring those men here to serve our gracious City Lord."

"Hiss!"

The female City Lord gasped in horror upon hearing her words.

Being a City Lord herself, always held in high regard, she only sought men of stunning beauty—ordinary men could never catch her eye, let alone the lowest of the low.

She found them utterly revolting just by the thought.

"You... you wouldn’t dare!"

"Heh."

Lin Caisang chuckled lightly, then looked at Zhe Jue.

"Go ahead, bringing a few more is fine too."

"Yes."

Zhe Jue responded, ready to turn and leave.

"Wait, don’t go!"

Seeing that Zhe Jue was about to actually find such men, the female City Lord hurriedly called out to stop him.

"What... what exactly do you want to do?"

While feigning unconsciousness earlier, she had pondered over this, but still couldn’t understand. Her City Lord’s Mansion was supposed to be heavily guarded.

Moreover, she had always regarded herself as the City Lord’s wife. How did they know she was the City Lord, and why had they abducted her here?

Had these people gone mad, daring to capture a City Lord like herself?

"Whatever you want, I can give it to you. There’s nothing in Mao City that I can’t do as long as you dare to ask, I can provide it," she said.
