Ye Xunhuan’s smile, upon catching Pei Ximing’s eyes, was like that of a devil’s, instilling a chill from the depths of his heart.

Especially when the words of Ye Xunhuan echoed in his ears, it felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave, trembling from head to toe!

Ye Xunhuan was simply too terrifying, far too dreadful, not something a human could contend with; or perhaps it can be said that Ye Xunhuan had completely transcended the realm of humanity.

All rules and constraints would be obliterated with a single slap from him.

The very next moment, under Pei Ximing’s watchful eye, Ye Xunhuan lifted his foot and walked towards Pei Ximing as if strolling through a garden!

"Clack clack..."

The dull sound of footsteps incessantly resounded beside Pei Ximing’s ears, like the tolling of death knells from hell, deeply invading his psyche.

In just an instant, fear completely corroded his heart, leaving only terror behind!

Under Pei Ximing’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan finally reached him.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan appear before him, Pei Ximing couldn’t help but gulp, and his face was totally overtaken by the color of fear: "What... what do you want to do?"

At that moment, the fear in Pei Ximing’s heart overflowed like a breached dam, uncontrollable and unstoppable.

"What do you think?" Ye Xunhuan said, smilingly looking at Pei Ximing.

"You... don’t mess around..."

"I’m asking you one more time, where is Lin Zhennan. If you’re smart, tell me. If you’re looking for some excitement, then I can oblige!" Ye Xunhuan spoke lightly yet seriously: "I don’t like to hear nonsense!"

"I don’t know what you..."

Before Pei Ximing could finish speaking, a hand shadow swiftly passed, followed by a crisp sound!

"Slap!"

Then Pei Ximing flew back as if he were a kite with its string cut, landing heavily on the ground.

Pei Ximing’s face, now on the ground, directly revealed five clear finger marks, and at the same time, traces of blood trickled from the corners of his mouth!

"I said, I don’t want to hear nonsense!" Ye Xunhuan slowly began: "If you’re going to spout more nonsense here, then what follows won’t be as simple as a slap, but I will crush every bone in your body!"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s chilling words, Pei Ximing’s body shivered involuntarily, while the fear that swelled on his somewhat swollen face intensified even more.

But even then, Pei Ximing didn’t immediately speak, instead falling into silence; his fearful face ebbed and flowed with uncertainty in this moment.

As if he was violently struggling within his heart!

Seeing Pei Ximing silent, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "Pei Ximing, do not test my patience!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words again, Pei Ximing took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and said: "Lin Zhennan is in the Presidential Suite 1823 at the Hilton Hotel on the eighteenth floor!"

At this moment, Pei Ximing chose to relent, not because he wanted to but because he could tell that Ye Xunhuan must have known something; otherwise, he wouldn’t act like this.

A satisfied expression slowly emerged on Ye Xunhuan’s face: "What do you and Lin Zhennan want to do?"

"I just want to make a fortune while I can!" Pei Ximing dared not admit he wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan to avenge his son.

If he speaks out, Ye Xunhuan, who originally didn’t plan to kill him, might not spare him afterwards!

After all, it is safest to nip danger in the bud!

"Lin Zhennan wants to kill you, to avenge the people of his Lin family."

Once a person chooses to speak, everything that follows will become much smoother.

Since it’s been said, if he continues to remain silent or chatters senselessly with Ye Xunhuan, he will be the only one to suffer in the end!

"Who did he bring with him?"

"I don’t know..."

No sooner had Lin Zhennan begun to speak than Ye Xunhuan’s piercing gaze immediately fell upon him!

"I... I really don’t know!" Lin Zhennan hastily said upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s sharp gaze: "He didn’t tell me. I just wanted to make some money in business; he would never confide in me what he’s up to!"

"Do you know the people from Shu Mountain?"

"I’ve heard Lin Zhenbei mention them before!" Pei Ximing immediately spoke without hesitation: "I don’t know now, but Lin Zhennan was adamant about killing you, even if it means using the power of rules to nail you down!"

"I am aware of that; otherwise, you’d already be a corpse!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly.

Ye Xunhuan initially intended to kill Pei Ximing, but then he thought, if he killed Pei Ximing and Lin Zhennan got wind of it, then Lin Zhennan could use that as leverage, which would be a significant inconvenience.

Although he wouldn’t be in any real danger, he didn’t like such troubles!

With a mentality that it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it, Ye Xunhuan has not killed Pei Ximing. Otherwise, by now, Pei Ximing would have undoubtedly become a corpse!

Pei Ximing’s body shivered uncontrollably again, and he couldn’t help but recall that he had sent people to kill He Sichan. If Ye Xunhuan found out about this...

At this thought, the fear inside Pei Ximing intensified, and he resolved that if he could just get through today, he would flee far from this place and never appear here again.

As for avenging his son, to hell with that!

As long as he has money, he could have more sons, and if he foolishly seeks revenge, with Ye Xunhuan’s displayed strength, the only one to die would be himself.

"I... I’ve told you all I know!"

"I know!" Ye Xunhuan said softly: "But I haven’t finished what I want to do!"

Hearing this sentence from Ye Xunhuan, Pei Ximing’s heart skipped a beat: "You... what do you want to do?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you..."

Upon hearing these words from Ye Xunhuan, Pei Ximing’s heart, which had leapt into his throat, slowly sank back down.

"But I am very vindictive. Anyone who wants to harm me will not have it easy. Although I won’t kill you, I will make you a cripple..."

"No... you cannot do this. If you dare treat me like this, I guarantee He Sichan will die too!" Pei Ximing shouted out desperately.

Given the strength Ye Xunhuan has shown, the ’cripple’ he speaks of is definitely not a simple matter; it might even mean a fate worse than death.

Therefore, in this moment, Pei Ximing shouted out without any concerns, hoping it would allow him to escape this calamity, and make Ye Xunhuan wary of him.
