“Why do you implicate innocent people in the Huo Family’s battle?” Xu Ling couldn’t take it anymore and howled.
“When you assisted Huo Shengyuan in illegally obtaining evidence, you were no longer innocent.” Huo Jiuxiao replied calmly, “You worked for Huo Shengyuan and squandered the funds the Huo Corporation gave you. Now you want to stay clear of everything? Where did such a good thing come from?”
“But my mom doesn’t know anything…”
“Whether you want her to know or not depends on your choice.” Huo Jiuxiao interrupted him. “When you were secretly controlling everything for Huo Shengyuan, did you ever think that this day would come?”
“If you want to kill me or cut me up, it’s up to you. There’s no need to waste your time on me.” Xu Ling made up his mind. It was as if he had abandoned everything, including his innocent mother.
“Even if you die, you won’t betray Huo Shengyuan, right?” After seeing through Xu Ling’s thoughts, Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head and said to Lin Wanli.
“Ah Li, take them out for a while.”
Lin Wanli nodded and got up from Huo Jiuxiao’s side. She took everyone away and left the space for Master Xiao. This time, it was Duan Yanxing who could not understand.
Lin Wanli reacted for a moment and suddenly thought of something. This Master Duan still didn’t know about Master Xiao’s “special ability”. He must be scratching his heart and lungs right now. He wanted to see how Master Xiao would convince Xu Ling to be his lackey.
In order to create an atmosphere, Lin Wanli even turned off all the lights in the main building, leaving only the spotlights at the entrance. Under the dim light, Xu Ling felt as if he was being targeted by a wild beast. He had a sense of fate and panic that he had nowhere to run. He knelt on the ground and subconsciously took two steps back. However, Huo Jiuxiao grabbed his shirt and pulled him in front of him.
At that moment, Xu Ling’s breathing stopped. He heard Huo Jiuxiao whispering into his ear, repeating his heartfelt words. “If I die, I hope Shengyuan will treat my mother well. I might have to die here today.”
“How could that be? This is impossible.”
“How did he know what I was thinking? No, I’m just scaring myself.”
“He is not human at all…”
Dong dong dong…It was the sound of Xu Ling’s heart racing, but he forgot that he still had to breathe until Huo Jiuxiao pushed him away and retreated back onto the sofa.
“Isn’t it interesting? Your master, Huo Shengyuan, has been exposing his rich inner world to me every day, and he doesn’t know anything about it…”
“I know about the deal between him and Chairman Zheng about women. I know that every time he gets anxious, he will have a battle between man and beast in his lounge. I also know that he has collected evidence of the Huo Corporation’s crimes. So do you think he has any chance of winning in front of me?”
Xu Ling was so terrified that every hair on his body stood on end.
“So, be more sensible and I’ll leave you some dignity. Otherwise, your mother will find out about your dirty deeds. Isn’t that why you followed Huo Shengyuan? For example, how your stepfather died of illness, and why your half-brother was kidnapped.”
At this moment, Xu Ling was already trembling from head to toe.
“If you still refuse to cooperate, I won’t do anything overboard. We’re all civilized people. If I keep you by my side and listen to your heart every day, sooner or later, you’ll have nothing left.”
What kind of torture was the most terrifying? It had to be mental.
The feeling of being seen through by someone without any secrets or dignity, like a corpse or a naked body, could drive a normal person crazy in three days.
He could die for Huo Shengyuan, but he couldn’t accept such mental torture.
Therefore, he used all his strength to crawl two steps in front of Huo Jiuxiao and said, “Is it just…As long as I take out the things in the safe, you’ll let me go?”
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t answer him. After a while, he said in the darkness, “But you don’t think so. You’re still testing me.”
“I…” Xu Ling panicked again.
“You still want to die.”
This time, Xu Ling was really scared out of his wits. He quickly lowered his head and said, “Please. I’m really scared.”
“Take out the things in the safe, and you and your mother can escape unscathed. Otherwise, I’ll have another toy…You’ll also see Huo Shengyuan’s reputation ruined and die a horrible death!”
“Ah! Ah!”
Duan Yanxing was afraid that Huo Jiuxiao would kill the person when he heard the screams inside. He rushed in immediately. However, when he turned on the lights, he saw Xu Ling in a daze. He was losing control of his body.
