Old Liu's face turned extremely grim upon hearing Ku Mu Dao Ren's words, as he realized he had likely been set up.
And the one who had set him up was Lin Xiao Tian, leaving him with no room to argue. After all, he was now just a dog in Lin Xiao Tian's hands. If he were to tell the people present that he had already become Lin Xiao Tian's subordinate, they would probably tear him to shreds.
"If you want to hand me over to Lin Xiao Tian, you don't need to do it yourselves. I'll go to Lin Xiao Tian myself right now. I'll tell him everything clearly in front of him."
"I can tell Lin Xiao Tian that I was the one manipulating all of this, and I'll take the blame myself."
"I know in my heart that from the moment you appeared, it was already decided that I would be the scapegoat. You don't want to be enemies with Lin Xiao Tian because his strength is too great, and you don't want to suffer too many losses from him. So, you want to push me out."
"I understand. From the beginning, I was destined to die. Instead of that, I might as well die a quick death that brings you more benefits. That way, I can also ensure my family lives better."
Ku Mu Dao Ren chuckled, "Don't you have any idea about the things you've done?"
"You don't need to say those impassioned words today, and you don't need to pretend in front of us. You're already dead. If we later prove you innocent, then it's our mistake, and we'll apologize to you at your grave."
Old Liu was already cursing inwardly. He knew these people would never let him off easily.
Did he not even have a chance to go before Lin Xiao Tian now?
If he could reach Lin Xiao Tian, perhaps he could still have a sliver of hope. After all, he was Lin Xiao Tian's dog. But now, these people clearly weren't giving him a chance.
As he was racking his brain, Ku Mu Dao Ren took a step forward, and then his figure seemed to vanish from his original spot. The next moment, he reappeared right in front of Old Liu.
"Don't..."
"I have more important news to tell you."
However, before he could finish speaking, Ku Mu Dao Ren had already struck his Dantian Qihai acupoint with a palm, instantly crippling him.
Lying on the ground, Old Liu spat blood uncontrollably, his eyes filled with grief and indignation, "Don't you even give me a chance to finish my sentence?"
Ku Mu Dao Ren sneered, "One betrayal, never to be trusted again. This is the rule of our Tian Luo Di Wang."
"Not letting you live a life worse than death is already giving you the greatest opportunity. You don't need to say anything to Lin Xiao Tian, and we won't give you that chance. After all, you're too disobedient and harbor too many ulterior motives. If you were to babble nonsense in front of Lin Xiao Tian and disrupt our plans, that wouldn't be good."
"We only need to bring your corpse to Lin Xiao Tian to prove our sincerity. I believe that after fighting with Lin Xiao Tian for so long, he must know of your existence."
"We are merely proving our sincerity, and that is enough. I believe the intelligent Lin Xiao Tian knows how to choose."
Old Liu's face was filled with despair. He deeply regretted not honestly telling Lin Xiao Tian all the plans earlier.
If he had, perhaps Lin Xiao Tian wouldn't have set him up.
But he dared not say these words. Because if he told these people that he had already become Lin Xiao Tian's subordinate, and Lin Xiao Tian might be plotting against Tian Luo Di Wang, then even his family would likely suffer a tragic fate. After all, Tian Luo Di Wang had absolutely no tolerance for true traitors.
The reason Lin Xiao Tian sold the medicine to Tian Luo Di Wang was that he had mixed something into it. And he was confident in his skills; even if those legendary experts were to inspect it, they would absolutely not be able to detect any problems with the pills.
Since those people were like cockroaches and rats in the sewer, he would first throw out some bait to lure them all out.
At this moment, Chu Nian Xue had already returned. Exhausted from a day's work, she didn't even want to move from the sofa.
Lin Xiao Tian placed his hand on her slender shoulder, gently massaging it, a mischievous smile appearing on his face, "Wife, you really don't need to work so hard. From now on, you can leave the company matters to the people under you. If you're short of any goods, you can tell me, and I'll be responsible for finding those antiques. We can live our own little lives without worrying about business every day. Wouldn't that be more comfortable?"
Chu Nian Xue turned her head and gave Lin Xiao Tian a glare, her eyes filled with helplessness, "Our company has already become the largest antique dealer in the region, and there is no other. We now control seventy percent of the core industry."
"We are the leaders ourselves. If we give up now, the business competition will likely be encroached upon by others before long."
"Doing business is like what you said about cultivation: if you don't advance, you fall behind."
"If you don't think about developing, others will always be watching you. If you fall behind, they will directly pursue you fiercely, and might even kick you while you're down. By then, even if you want to live a peaceful life, others will no longer give you the chance."
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Wife, don't worry. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll beat them so badly their own mother won't recognize them."
"But you're so tired, my heart aches. If we have a child in the future, will you bring the baby to work?"
Chu Nian Xue angrily raised her small fist and lightly punched Lin Xiao Tian's hand, "Can't you be more ambitious and take over the company directly? If you managed the company flawlessly, I'd be happy to wait for you to come home."
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the tenderness radiating from her eyes and cupped her small face, kissing her deeply, "Wife, don't worry. In the future, I will definitely find professional management talent and maximize the value of those teams to manage this company for us."
"It's enough to visit the company occasionally. We can travel the world. The world is so big, don't you want to see it?"
Hearing this, a flicker of longing arose in Chu Nian Xue's eyes. She also wanted to travel to various places around the world and experience the scenery, but for now, it wasn't possible.
"We'll talk about it when there's an opportunity. Besides, you're a bad guy who's lazy, don't you think I know? Your mind works fast, but I'm much smarter. Many things are solved by you, and the credit is rightfully yours."
As the two were talking, Ku Mu Dao Ren's voice sounded from outside the door.
