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 blazed with rage as she asked the servants loudly. Crystal's bluff successfully caught the attention of most of them.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
And when she combined 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 blank.
I fixed my gaze on him. As I predicted, he constantly sent covert glances 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 isolated 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 palace do you
serve in? Explain why you still have your work boots on at this late 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 so late in the night.”
He looked at his feet and clarified in a gruff voice,“ The elder instructed me just now to clean the garden ~~ sealing beside his room. I was busy workigy until I was brought here. I didnTget a chance to changer my shoes. " Content belongs 0 NovelDrama.Org =
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 palace. Thirdly, this black mud is unique. It is only found ifthe garden at the exit gfthe secret passage. When I ask someone to test the soil composition on your hoes in the lab, I will know your whereabouts for certain. Fourth, don't think I'm unaware that you're not a gardener, but a groom."

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 slash his neck with a determined expression.
I hurriedly aimed a kick at the knife he was holding.
The guards around were highly vigilant and immediately encircled the groom.
I glanced at him as he lay fallen on the ground and relaxed my furrowed eyebrows.
He had almost committed suicide. But fortunately, he hadn't succeeded.
I impatiently gestured to my subordinate next to me and ordered, "Arrest and interrogate him."
My men immediately tied him up.
