Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Better to Kill a Thousand by Mistake Than Let One Go

Clear and logical, directly hitting the key points, she managed to clarify the entire sequence of events within just a few minutes.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

The more chaotic the crisis, the more one cannot afford to panic. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

No one expected that at such a critical moment, she could achieve this.

The old butler secretly nodded, wishing the patriarch could see that Miss Tong was more than capable of being the Young Madam of the Bo Family. She was different from Mrs. Bo, and would not become another Mrs. Bo. The patriarch’s worries were unnecessary.

One’s nature can’t be changed; this incident revealed her true character.

Complex matters were simplified.

The disappearance of Young Master Xiao Zhi was done by someone familiar.

The old butler’s wits returned, and after some thought, he immediately gathered all the servants to start an investigation, one by one.

Soon, the suspect was identified, Sister-in-law Qian.

During this period, everyone had their tasks. When questioned, they all remained calm, except for Sister-in-law Qian, who reacted completely differently from the others.

What raised suspicion was her hesitant and evasive answers, with a somewhat detached demeanor.

Just as the old butler was about to speak, Bo Qingzhi walked in from outside, his long legs above the military boots appearing strong and the crisp uniform radiating the iron will and toughness of a soldier. Upon hearing Tong Yan’s words, his expression immediately turned cold, "Arrest her."

A group of soldiers rushed over and surrounded Sister-in-law Qian.

Sister-in-law Qian panicked, how could they expose her so quickly? She desperately tried to defend herself, "No, it wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me, you’ve got it wrong, I’m innocent..."

Bo Qingzhi extended his foot and kicked forcefully, "Traitor."

The kick was so strong that it sent her flying several meters, crashing into a wall with a loud "bang!" sound.

Bo Qingzhi glanced at the surrounding soldiers, "Why aren’t you doing anything? Send her back to the barracks for a good lesson."

"Yes, Young Marshal."

The soldiers responded in unison, stepping forward to arrest Sister-in-law Qian, who was now dazed.

Ever since listening to the General, hearing the Young Marshal held no further surprise; such a prominent family.

Judging by his stance toward Sister-in-law Qian, it seemed she would not escape without punishment.

"Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake?" Tong Yan asked with some doubt.

Bo Qingzhi waved his hand, decisive and somewhat ruthlessly, "It’s better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go." Furthermore, the reasoning was sound; even if she didn’t do it, she was connected to it.

Anyone who dared to try to harm him? They must face the consequences.

Tong Yan was speechless in shock.

The Young Master of the Bo Family was different from what she imagined. Usually appearing gentle, when faced with such matters, he was so ruthless, unlike ordinary soldiers.

It’s better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.

If this was ancient times, he would certainly be a tyrant.

Yet undeniably, Bo Qingzhi was strikingly handsome at the moment.

Sister-in-law Qian, after walking a few steps, regained her senses, and upon seeing the scene, she trembled in fear. No, no, no, as long as she didn’t confess, they couldn’t do anything to her; there was no concrete evidence.

Bo Qingzhi’s voice came from behind her, "Treat her well; try every punishment from the military district to see how long she can keep quiet!"

Sister-in-law Qian’s legs suddenly weakened, losing all strength, unable to walk on her own, having to rely on the soldiers to hold her up.

She had occasionally overheard the master and the Young Master discuss those punishments, terrifying and intimidating. If they used them on her, could she even survive...
