Liu Xiangtian hid in the private room, not daring to breathe. At this moment, his only thought was to hope Lin Xiaotian would leave quickly, otherwise, he might also be caught here tonight.
But what one fears most is what happens.
Just as his heart was in his throat, a mocking laugh came from the doorway.
"Where do you think your Liu family's old fox is hiding? Could he be hiding in the livestream room?"
"Should I open the private room and go look for him now?"
The man in the baseball cap shook his head like a rattle drum.
Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even brighter. "The more you shake your head, the more it proves that your Liu family's old fox is likely hiding in here. After all, you want to hide him so he can deliver a fatal blow to me."
"But he's definitely not escaping today. I won't let him leave so easily."
"He wants to scheme against me and harm people around me, then he has no chance of survival."
With that, Lin Xiaotian kicked the door open with a bang.
The door shattered, and the room was empty at first glance.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Lin Xiaotian's mouth. He had already guessed where the person was hiding; he was just playing around now.
He tossed the man in the baseball cap into the private room and then walked over, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He said with a smile, "I know you must be very nervous right now because you're afraid I'll find your master."
"But I believe he definitely hasn't left this place. As long as he dares to appear, he absolutely cannot escape my grasp."
"I've already set up people outside. The moment he leaves, he'll be intercepted."
Hearing this, the man in the baseball cap opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he closed it at the crucial moment.
His eyes were filled with anxiety.
Lin Xiaotian, with a mischievous smile, glanced behind the sofa. He had already seen a corner of clothing.
The smile on his lips became even more evident. "I wonder where that guy is hiding?"
"Now he's playing hide-and-seek with me. What kind of methods do you think I'll use on him when I find him?"
"He's so uncooperative, Xiao Yin is getting a little angry. If he had honestly come out, perhaps I could have given him a chance to keep his dog life."
"But he's not coming out and hiding so deeply. Do you think his name was chosen incorrectly? He shouldn't be called Liu Xiangtian, he should be called Liu Goudan."
As Lin Xiaotian spoke, he casually placed his hand behind the sofa and tossed his cigarette butt down.
Liu Xiangtian, hiding behind the sofa, never expected the cigarette butt to land on his head. He could only gently pat it away with his hand.
He didn't dare to use too much force because he knew very well that a martial artist's senses were extremely sharp.
In his current situation, if he were discovered, it would surely mean death. He didn't want to become a puppet manipulated by Lin Xiaotian.
But when the cigarette butt fell on his head, the intense heat almost made him scream. He bit his lip so hard that his gums bled.
Lin Xiaotian's lips curved into a wicked smile. "Does it hurt?"
The sudden two words made Liu Xiangtian tremble. He instinctively raised his head and met Lin Xiaotian's gaze. In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Finally, a few words formed in his heart.
"You found me long ago?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Those words at the private room door were spoken deliberately for you to hear. But you, this fellow, couldn't help yourself and still wanted to hide."
"Then I'll tease you a bit. Your scalp is already burnt, aren't you going to stand up?"
"Or do you want to speak to me while kneeling?"
Liu Xiangtian hesitated for a moment before standing up from the ground. He had thought that by shrinking behind the sofa, he might have a chance to escape. After all, the most dangerous place is sometimes the safest. But he never expected that Lin Xiaotian had already discovered him.
Lin Xiaotian's face held a half-smile. "Not hiding anymore?"
"I have plenty of time to play hide-and-seek with you."
Liu Xiangtian took a few deep breaths, despair gradually appearing in his eyes. "I know your strength is immense, and I am no match for you. Today, falling into your hands is my bad luck. I admit defeat."
"Kill me or torture me as you please."
"Don't expect to get any useful information from me. Isn't it justified for our Liu family to deal with you?"
"When you attacked our Liu family back then, you slaughtered all our true elites. Those who remained were just ordinary people. If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape, I would have died that year."
"Although two years have passed, I have never forgotten this hatred."
Lin Xiaotian's smile became more pronounced. "When your Liu family members were harming others, did they ever think that those people also had families? Think about what parents feel when they lose their children."
"And it's not just selling those children, but what did you do?"
"You weren't selling them, you were crippling them to beg for alms, using their misery to gain sympathy from the world. The money they pitifully earned was funneled into your own pockets. When they were no longer useful, you would harvest their organs."
"You raised those children and deliberately crippled them, not because of the money they begged for, but because you could harvest their organs at any time."
"Even beasts wouldn't inflict such cruelty on their own kind, yet your Liu family not only did it but felt it was justified."
Two years later, even thinking about it made Lin Xiaotian's anger boil.
His eyes held a hint of killing intent.
"You should have died two years ago, but you've lived until now. The souls of many children are watching you from above."
"Your Liu family's retribution is me."
"It was my mistake to let you live for two extra years. I failed to find you, you bastard, back then. But you've brought yourself to me again."
"Do you think I'll let such a good opportunity slip away today?"
"Two years ago, I gave you a quick end. But two years later, I will make you repay all those years of freedom."
