Chapter 30 Murder to Silence
He ended up saving another disciple?
Cinna was somewhat in between laughter and tears.
Of course, even though Mr. Queen’s attitude was very sincere and even if he offered a grand gift, Cinna did not want to take him as a student.
“Between people, what matters is destiny.
“Though we share some fate, it’s not enough.
“I rarely take students because I’m picky.”
Upon hearing these words, a flash of disappointment passed through ML. Queen‘ eyes.
It was evident that even though Cinna had spoken very politely, his implication was that Mr. Queen’s talent was not enough.
Alas!
The Nine Palaces Dry–needling technique was right in front of him, he had personally experienced it and the effect was excellent!
However, he could not learn this nearly extinct technique!
Cinna had already figured out his thoughts and said with a light smile,
“Don’t feel too bad, Mr. Queen. You have plenty of other things to worry about.”
Cinna’s reminder brought Mr. Queen back to reality.
He thought of his unfilial son!
Gritting his teeth, he sighed.
“A curse has befallen my family, a curse indeed. I made you witness such laughingstock, Mr.
Lloyd.
“I know Mr. Lloyd wants to interrogate that unfilial son of mine, feel free to do so.”
Cinna did not beat around the bush. “Thank you, then.”
Not long after, Rex personally took Cinna and his wife to the basement of the villa.
The villa had five floors above ground and three below, all laid out in a specific pattern.
The so–called confinement room of the Queen family was on the very bottom level.
Under the dim light, Cinna and Harriet met Fay, who had a dull look in his eyes.
After Rex tactfully left the room, Cinna smiled slightly.
“I’ll also wait for you outside.”
Suddenly, Harriet grabbed his hand and replied with a smile,
“Darling, you don’t need to go out, just stay here.”

Cinna gave a knowing smile and did not say more.
Next, Harriet stared at Fay intently and asked in a deep voice,
“Fay, I know you’re playing dumb.
“I don’t want to waste time, so I’ll just ask you one question.
“Are you connected to the murder cases at Oceanus University?!”
Fay’s body visibly trembled at her words.
Then, he put on that vacant look again, as if he had not heard a thing.
Harriet saw through his act.
At that moment, she suddenly laughed and said, “Fay, I actually know you quite well. Do you think Mr. Queen will let you off because of your father–son relationship?
“You’re wrong! Your father… already harbors a killing intent toward you!
“Just like when you wanted to kill him!” Fay’s body visibly trembled again.
Harriet continued, “If you tell us everything you know, we can spare your life.
“Your father has been cured by my husband!
“Moreover, your father wants to take my husband as his master!
“My husband holds significant weight in his eyes! It should be easy to spare your life.”
Upon hearing these words, Fay could no longer keep his composure.
He looked at Cinna in surprise and could not help but ask, “Can you cure poison?”
Seeing that he was no longer playing dumb, Cinna smiled leisurely, “Yes, I can.”
Fay nodded.
“Well, with that old man’s temper, if you guys hadn’t made a significant contribution, he wouldn’t
have let you see me.
“But, even if you had detoxified the poison, what then
“I still stand by my statement, I know nothing!”
Harriet’s gaze hardened; she did not expect him to be so stubborn.
Just then, Cinna glanced at his watch and took out his silver needle,
“Wife, how about I give it a try?
“It’s getting late; we need to head back soon.”
Harriet curiously watched him pick up a silver needle and walk up to Fay.
The glint of cold light on the silver needle made Fay break out in a cold sweat.
“What… what are you doing?”
Cinna chuckled, “Do you know… what it means to not know whether to laugh or cry?”
Fay looked at him in confusion.
However, in the next moment, Cinna had swiftly jabbed the silver needle into one of his pressure points!
Instantly, Fay did not even have time to scream before the muscles on his face began twitching uncontrollably.
He started laughing uncontrollably!
He was laughing so much that tears streamed down his face, and he could not stop!
He knew it was the effect of the silver needle and tried to remove it, but Cinna restrained his hands.
“This is laughter, but there’s more interesting stuff–coming.”
Then, he took out another silver needle and with lightning speed stabbed it into another one of Fay’s pressure points!
In an instant, Fay felt a prickling sensation in his nose and could not stop the tears from flowing!
The feeling was much more intense than ants crawling over his body!
At that moment, his face was full of smiles, but upon closer inspection, his tears were streaming.
down like a fountain.
Seeing this, Harriet could not help but hold back a chuckle.
“So this is what it means to not know whether to laugh or cry?”
Less than a minute later, Fay was already screaming out,
“Stop… stop torturing me! I’ll speak! I’ll speak!”
Cinna smiled faintly and with a wave of his hand, the two silver needles were back in his
possession.

Fay was panting heavily, staring at the couple with lingering fear.
Harriet was not in a rush; she just calmly watched him
Then, Fay started confessing…
“I indeed wanted the Heart Grass!
“And that old man was always saying I’m too young, saying I need more experience, refusing to give it to me. In desperation, I thought I’d give him a taste of his own medicine.
“Initially, I didn’t intend to kill him with the poison; after all, he’s my old man.
“The slow–acting poison I used wasn’t something strong.
“But over the course of these two months, the old man continued to refuse to compromise, and that’s when I seriously considered the idea!
“I know, you guys must think I’m an *sshole.
“But if you knew how important the Heart Grass is, you might do the same as me!”
Harriet sneered and responded,
“No, we’re not the same. Because we still have humanity, and you do not.”
However, Fay seemed not to care about Harriet’s strange gaze.
“Humanity? Can humanity be exchanged for power and money? Can humanity get you everything
you want? No! It can’t get you anything!”
Upon hearing these words, Cinna walked over, purposely flaunting his silver needles.
“We’re not here to discuss the philosophy of life with you.”
This scared Fay quite a bit!
“Wait! I’ll continue talking! Just don’t poke me with that thing anymore!”
“Speak then,” Cinna put his hand down.
Fay breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly turned to Harriet.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“You’re really lucky!
“Those people, indeed, wanted to get rid of you and Xavier!
“You’ve been prying into things you shouldn’t, and Xavier just happened to see something he wasn’t supposed to!”
Harriet calmly responded,
“So, murder to silence someone? I knew that already.
“You should tell me something I don’t know…”
Fay’s eyes filled with malice.
“Actually, I don’t know much.
“But under the current circumstances, you guys have the upper hand, so if I want to save my life, I need to provide some useful information.
“Look for Chloe Scott! She knows more than I do!”
Harriet squinted slightly, “Chloe Scott? The president of the Oceanus Union?”
