I worked myself to the bone to become a saint, and survived on a deserted island with a stunning pri

"No! Don't!" Zhao Xingyu exclaimed in terror.

"Ahem... Ling'er, hurry up and translate." Chu Nan urged Xu Ling'er.

Xu Ling'er's pretty face turned red, and she reached out and pinched Chu Nan's waist in annoyance, making Chu Nan wince in pain.

"This... how do you say this? You're too..." Xu Ling'er was extremely embarrassed, and at the same time felt a little disgusted.

"It's alright. If you're too embarrassed to say it, you can tell me how to say it. Anyway, our young master Zhao has plenty of time to enjoy himself; there are still several days left," Chu Nan said nonchalantly.

"No! I'll tell you! I beg you, Chu Nan! I'll tell you anything you want to know!" Zhao Xingyu's voice had turned into a plea.

He can endure physical pain, but that doesn't mean he can withstand mental torment.

He never expected that Chu Nan would prepare to torture him in such a way that would make him wish he were dead.

The thought of that scene made Zhao Xingyu feel that he would rather be dead.

"Hey! What's the rush, Young Master Zhao?"

"Maybe you'll like it once you get to know it better?" Chu Nan waved his hand.

"Quick, Ling'er, teach me!"

Xu Ling'er blushed and ran out.

"What should we do...?"

Chu Nan scratched his head and simply started using hand gestures. Through a series of complex yet clear movements, he managed to make the four Guaguo people understand.

"You guys... stab!"

After making gestures for five minutes, the four Germans finally understood, and their gazes fell on Zhao Xingyu, revealing a hint of covetousness.

"No! Don't come any closer!" Zhao Xingyu tried to struggle, but he was bound tightly and couldn't move at all.

"I'll talk, Chu Nan, I really will! Please, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Zhao Xingyu cried and begged, his previous arrogant, smug, and haughty demeanor completely gone.

"Alright, that's enough!" Chu Nan said, using the few words he knew.

The four Chinese people stopped what they were doing and stood aside, looking somewhat regretful.

"Aren't you being pathetic?" Chu Nan sighed. "What did I just say? You just wouldn't tell me, I had to give you a hard time, I had to teach you a lesson before you'd talk. Why bother?"

Zhao Xingyu's face turned bright red, but he couldn't refute it.

"Alright, now I'll ask you questions and you answer them."

"I don't care if what you say is right or wrong, as long as I'm not satisfied, you'd better serve those four well!"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" Zhao Xingyu nodded frantically.

Chu Nan snorted coldly: "First, were you responsible for this shipwreck?"

"No..." Zhao Xingyu began.

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Nan waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes! I did it! I did it!" Zhao Xingyu almost cried.

Chu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Why did you do this?"

Zhao Xingyu dared not lie anymore, and said with a mournful face, "It was my father... it was my father who said he wanted to create the illusion of a shipwreck, and then capture Ji Menghan to threaten the emperor and cause trouble for the country."

Sure enough!

While listening to Zhao Xingyu's answer, he confirmed the information and guesses he had obtained.

The interrogation lasted for more than two hours before it ended.

In the end, Zhao Xingyu didn't even have the strength to speak, and he hung his head listlessly.

"Alright, let's go eat first."

After breakfast, Chu Nan waved his hand: "Give him some water and food."

Miyamoto Musashi picked up some water and the remaining meat and went into the bamboo shed.

"I've asked about everything." Chu Nan said solemnly.

"Just as we suspected, it was all Zhao Wanzhi's scheme."

"His goal is to instigate a conflict between the Great Zhou and the Gua Kingdom, and even to use the Gua Kingdom to help himself."

Upon hearing this, Ji Menghan's face showed anger: "What a clever scheme!"

"When I return, I will inform my father, the Emperor, that the Zhao family, father and son, must be executed by slow slicing and their property confiscated!"

Chu Nan shook his head: "Absolutely not!"

"Why?" Ji Menghan, Ling Hanxue, and Xu Ling'er asked at the same time.

Chu Nan let out a long sigh: "If we can think of it, then Zhao Wanzhi must be able to think of it too."

"A man like him must have a backup plan. Once His Majesty deals with him, he will launch his countermeasures, which will at least shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, making it a losing proposition."

"What should we do then? Are we just going to let them rebel?" Ling Hanxue was very annoyed.

If it weren't for the Zhao family father and son deliberately orchestrating this shipwreck, I wouldn't have come here, and I wouldn't have lost my innocence trying to save Chu Nan, putting myself in such an awkward situation.

She was in a state of utter confusion and didn't know how to explain things to her father when she got back.

"Once we get back, Zhao Wanzhi will definitely find out, so the first thing we need to do is figure out how to get back to the capital safely," Chu Nan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Wanzhi, who rose to the position of prime minister, was by no means a fool; on the contrary, he was extremely shrewd. His actions demonstrate that he always had a formidable plan in mind for any task.

"If I'm not mistaken, once we get ashore, if Zhao Wanzhi doesn't receive a letter from Zhao Xingyu immediately, he'll likely conclude that Zhao Xingyu is either dead or has been captured by us."

"Next, he will definitely do everything in his power to stop us, or even intercept and kill us," Chu Nan slowly analyzed.

Listening to Chu Nan's analysis, the three women nodded repeatedly.

"Once we set foot on the land of the Great Zhou, what awaits us will not be a few people or a dozen people like Zhao Xingyu, but perhaps an army, hundreds or thousands of troops."

"We might need to think of another way. We should have a few more days to come up with a solution that satisfies both sides."

Chu Nan rubbed his temples. Dealing with such a cunning and scheming old man was really difficult!

If there is even the slightest mistake, no one will escape the consequences.

"It's a pity that so much effort was put into making this salt." Chu Nan couldn't help but shake his head.

In the following days, Chu Nan would spend his free time to torment Zhao Xingyu and try to extract information from him.

Later, it got to the point that Zhao Xingyu would get agitated whenever he saw Chu Nan.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat, my whole body was trembling, and my hands and feet were ice cold.

It wasn't until the third day that Zhao Xingyu tearfully pleaded, "Tonight, a merchant ship from Guatemala will stop nearby. They are the ones who will pick me up. They will drop us off in South Korea, and then we will take a ship back to Great Zhou from South Korea..."

"You're such a jerk!" Chu Nan cursed.

He came out, gathered everyone, and immediately prepared to rush to the location Zhao Xingyu had mentioned.

There were few supplies on the deserted island, only the evidence left by Zhao Wanzhi and two national treasures of melons and fruits.

Taking these things with them and dragging the lifeless Zhao Xingyu along, the group hurriedly arrived at the Fourth District.

Sure enough, on the edge of the fourth district near the sea, a small boat was spotted hidden in a crevice.

"When they come over, we'll row over..." Zhao Xingyu was so eager to go home that he was willing to say anything.
