Lin Xiaotian sneered, "I already made it very clear to you before. You swore yourself that if you did something wrong, you would die a horrible death."
"Now that your oath has come true, what's the use of you begging me for mercy? You should beg the heavens and see if they'll give you a pill of regret. Perhaps it would work?"
"No, in my heart, Mr. Lin, you are the heavens." Chairman Wu's forehead was already red and swollen from his kowtows.
His eyes were filled with pleading. He truly regretted it now.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Then you are indeed bold enough to fool the heavens. This is clearly defying the will of heaven."
"Although I can save you, I won't. You know what you've done. If it was said you would die a horrible death, then you absolutely will not die comfortably."
After his words fell, he turned and got into the car without any hesitation.
Chairman Wu still wanted to beg for mercy, but it was already very difficult for him to get up from the ground in his current state. By the time he wanted to chase after him, Lin Xiaotian's car had only left him a cloud of exhaust fumes.
The fear in his heart, combined with the immense pain he felt, made him unable to help but fall to the ground, feeling as if the entire world had turned completely dark.
As he felt himself falling to the ground, the surrounding employees finally reacted and rushed over to support him.
"Chairman Wu, why don't we just take you to the hospital? Perhaps the hospital has a way to save you."
"Exactly. There's no need to keep begging Lin Xiaotian. Perhaps he can't save you either. If he could, he would have certainly set conditions and asked for an exorbitant price. But he didn't. It's likely he himself has no solution."
Chairman Wu gave a tragic smile, "It's completely over. That kind of person absolutely cannot save me. Even going to the hospital would be useless."
"I knew of similar situations before. When people went to the hospital, they couldn't find any cause for the illness. Only someone like Lin Xiaotian could help treat it."
He described it very clearly. If Lin Xiaotian didn't help him, he would only die in agony.
He felt unwilling to die like this. At this moment, his gaze gradually became ferocious and terrifying.
"Lin Xiaotian, you've been indifferent to my pleas for so long. Then don't blame me. The grievances between us are thoroughly settled today."
"Since you don't want me to live, then you can't live comfortably either. We are enemies until death!"
He had already made up his mind. Since Lin Xiaotian refused to save him, he must want him to live a life worse than death. Before he died, even if he couldn't deal with Lin Xiaotian, he would at least drag someone close to Lin Xiaotian down with him.
He didn't believe Lin Xiaotian could always protect the people around him so well.
The surrounding employees couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines seeing Chairman Wu's appearance. He looked like a ghost crawling out of hell, terrifying.
Lin Xiaotian drove back to the company quickly and smilingly entered Chu Nianxue's office.
Chu Nianxue looked up and saw him return, a faint smile appearing on her face. "How did the talks with Chairman Wu go? What conditions did they propose that would be of great benefit to us?"
"That old scoundrel actually wanted us to join the Antique Association. Even if he had invited us with eight palanquins, we wouldn't join that filthy group. And now he's presenting it as a surprise and a benefit to us. I slapped him twice right then and there."
Lin Xiaotian sat opposite Chu Nianxue with a smile. "You don't need to worry. We have the strength now."
"Wife, you need to be more assertive. Next time you encounter something like this, don't waste your breath. Just slap them across the face. Some people only learn their lesson when they're hurt."
"From now on, if anyone has ill intentions towards you, wife, just deal with them harshly. If you can't handle them, I will. I will definitely make them regret being alive in this world."
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue rolled her eyes playfully. "You can deal with him now, but you can't deal with the other two from the Antique Association, can you?"
"If those people really unite, our company will definitely face considerable trouble."
"I need to guard against his associates. He alone might not be a threat, but with so many people surrounding him, forming a vested interest group, if we touch their cake, they will surely pursue us relentlessly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced. "Wife, don't worry. I handle things with certainty."
"Those guys, every single one of them, have basically been taken care of."
"They were already trying to do some shady business, and I happened to catch them red-handed. Now they've all been sent away. Wife, you can develop with peace of mind. There's no one blocking your path now."
Chu Nianxue's face showed disbelief. She never expected that Lin Xiaotian would have dealt with all those people.
"Are you telling the truth? Have you sent all of them away?"
Lin Xiaotian raised his head slightly with pride. "Wife, what do you think? Am I very capable?"
"I knew that fellow was no good. So, before I went, I made some preparations and happened to get hold of some evidence. Now we have solid proof. One phone call and they'll all be locked up."
Chu Nianxue's eyes were filled with surprise. "How did you know they would definitely do something bad? Did you discover something beforehand?"
"Are you hiding something from me again, you rascal?"
Lin Xiaotian immediately spread his hands, his smile becoming even brighter. "Wife, isn't it obvious? Those guys were already on the opposite side of us, and then they suddenly say they want to give us benefits?"
"Just use your brain a little and you'll realize they must have ill intentions. After all, they already knew we had reached a cooperative relationship with the Xu family. Their so-called benefits would be worthless."
"At a time like this, the best approach is to nip it in the bud completely, so that once we develop fully, they'll be helpless."
Chu Nianxue had actually thought of this long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have let Lin Xiaotian go in person.
Lin Xiaotian's face already showed a brilliant smile. "Wife, look how well I performed today. Shouldn't I get a small reward first?"
