Chapter 1139 The Groom


    Rufus'' POV:


    Crystal was obviously upset and she didn''t conduct the questioning in an crganized manner.


    "Why don''t you just confess?" Her eyes zed with rage as she asked the servants loudly.


    Crystal''s bluff sessfully caught the attention of most of them.


    And when shebined her threats with inducements, their expressions changed dramatically.


    However, it was still difficult to figure out if they were pretending or not.


    I didn''t interrupt her. I just stood to one side and observed the servants quietly.


    While Crystal was still questioning them, I noticed a servant who didn''t fit in with the others


    The panic and worry on the other servants’ faces were real, but his expression seemed to be feigned. His reaction was slower than that of the people


    around him, and his eyes seemed to be nk.


    I fixed my gaze on him. As I predicted, he constantly sent covert nces at Crystal and watched her with more inquiry than fear.


    I recognized him as a groom of an elder of the royal family. The elder had isted himself from the world, and he rarely gave his servants any work.


    But this groom still wore his work boots at night


    I squeezed Crystal''s shoulder. She stopped talking and turned to look at me


    Pointing one finger at the groom, I said in an icy voice, "You, step forward. Which pce do you


    serve in? Exin why you still have your work boots on at thiste hour.”


    Crystal instantly sensed that something was amiss and locked sharply at the groom.


    His shoulders shook and he looked very nervous, but he still revealed the name of the elder.


    I nodded frostily. "Tell me why you''re still in your work boots sote in the night.”


    He looked at his feet and rified in


    a gruff voice,“ The elder instructed


    me just now to clean the garden ~~

    With a smile, I took measured steps


    toward him, and said in a dangerous


    voice, ‘Firstly, the elder you work for


    dislikes flowers. He will never


    specially ask you to take care of


    them. Secondly, the mud on your


    boots doesn''t look like it''s from


    a ound this pce. Thirdly, this


    ck mud is unique. It is only found

    test the soilposition on your


    hoes in theb, I will know your


    whereabouts for certain. Fourth,

    not a gardener, but a groom."

    The man ''s-expression froze. He was


    visibly flustered. He opened his o

    Crystal, who was standing beside me, was overwhelmed with murderous intent. "It''s you! You kidnapped Arron!"


    The groom locked up to meet her eyes. Then he removed a sharp knife from his pocket at lightning speed. Before anyone could react, he moved to


    sh his neck with a determined expression.


    I hurriedly aimed a kick at the knife he was holding.


    The guards around were highly vignt and immediately encircled the groom.


    I nced at him as hey fallen on the ground and rxed my furrowed eyebrows.

    I impatiently gestured to my subordinate next to me and ordered, "Arrest and interrogate him."


    My men immediately tied him up.
