Coming for Her Child

Chu He faced forward again and, without poise, grabbed with one hand Luo Qing's collar roughly. "Where did you hide my son?"

"Your son? Are you talking about that fleshy-looking boy?" asked the man, looking confused.

"Don't you care! Speak: Where is the boy whom you took away that night? Where did you hide him!" Her voice was interspersed with an overpowering aura.

Her patience had run short after two days and nights of not hearing from her son.

Luo Qing was scared out of his wits by her menacing look and started to shake; even his voice was trembling when he answered her question. "T-That… We didn't hide that boy away! We… were merely following orders! We… brought that kid to the capital and, after that… took the money and left. The boy was left inside the warehouse; we didn't bring him back… nor do we know what happened to him afterward…"

His narration was intelligible and slurred due to his nervousness and inexplicable fear.
