Su Changxing was a bit puzzled. Since they were lacking food, why would they keep someone like Weigen, who was locked up, alive? Isn't that a waste of food?
Although Weigen was skin and bones, since he was alive, he had been given some water and food, however little.
"Why haven't they killed you?" Su Changxing asked.
Weigen recalled the experiences over these days and said uncertainly, "It seems to be because of a statue, purchased by our Black Dog Gang. They keep asking me about the statue's location."
"A statue, what statue?"
"An antique our boss bought before, acquired at a low price from a down-and-out merchant. But it wasn't us who initially wanted it; it was meant for a noble in the city later."
"The statue's shape is quite bizarre—rat-headed with a human body, made entirely of copper. However, the statue cracked in the middle and only half remains."
