The Song family patriarch's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of uncertain surprise flashing in his gaze. He could tell that this fellow genuinely had confidence.
Bai Wuji's heart was already pounding in his chest, but he put on a confident front. "Patriarch Song, I know you want to kill me to eliminate any future trouble. But killing me would be a loss. I have great benefits for you, but this matter can only be revealed after Lin Xiaotian is dealt with."
"Otherwise, if I can't see Lin Xiaotian die, and die a miserable death, I won't be content even if I die now."
"I know you won't let me go, but before I die, you should at least listen to what I have to say."
"I'm no threat to you anyway, so why not believe me?"
A smile gradually appeared on the Song family patriarch's face. "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will make your life worse than death. And after seeing Lin Xiaotian, I will first let you witness how he dies. If you dare to lie to me after seeing his tragic end, you will regret it."
A slight sigh of relief escaped Bai Wuji upon hearing this.
The immediate problem was averted. Cooperating with the Song family members was the worst decision of his life.
Not a single one of them was good. He had done so much for the Song family, and in the end, they would simply get rid of him.
Thinking of this, a surge of resentment rose within him, and he began to ponder how these people should die.
At this moment, the Song family patriarch said no more. He led his men directly into the warehouse hall, and someone switched on the lights.
Lin Xiaotian sat in the middle of the warehouse hall with a smile, which caused everyone present to be slightly taken aback. None of them had expected another person to be there.
The Song family patriarch had never seen Lin Xiaotian before. Now, his brow furrowed, and his eyes held a cold killing intent.
"How can there be another person here? Is he the security guard for this place?"
"No matter who he is, kill him immediately. I don't want any complications with this matter."
Immediately, a Song family member stepped forward, preparing to act.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Old Bai, you were right. These guys are a bunch of idiots."
"Even now, they haven't seen my picture, nor do they know who I am. What kind of brains do they have?"
"They want to gain so much from me, yet they still don't recognize me."
"Now, I'll give you a chance. Honestly, kneel on the ground and call me grandpa, and perhaps I'll give you a chance to leave alive."
Upon hearing this, the Song family patriarch's face changed drastically. His eyes revealed disbelief.
He looked at Lin Xiaotian, then back at Bai Wuji.
Bai Wuji, being a smart man, understood the moment Lin Xiaotian spoke that Lin Xiaotian was no longer going to play along. Without hesitation, he sprinted madly towards Lin Xiaotian.
As he reached Lin Xiaotian's side, he looked at the Song family members and said through gritted teeth, "They're not just stupid, their brains are filled with muscles of greed."
"Bastards, driven by insatiable greed, yet they act like they're some kind of righteous individuals. If one didn't know better, they'd think you were men of ambition."
"Young Master, you should eliminate them all now, lest they harbor any more wicked thoughts."
A satisfied smile spread across Lin Xiaotian's face. He gently patted Bai Wuji's shoulder. "You've done very well, and remained calm under pressure. You've fooled these people completely. To this day, they still think you possess some secret."
Bai Wuji put on a fawning smile. "I do possess a secret, one that concerns the very survival of their Song family. It's just that they didn't pry the information out of me beforehand."
"Their lives are now in your hands, Young Master."
"It's easier for you to kill them than to crush ants, Young Master. They simply don't know that we've already planned to eliminate them here."
He spoke with his own ulterior motives. He had already taken a stand against the Song family.
No matter how Lin Xiaotian treated the Song family members, if even one of them survived, the Song family would surely seek revenge on him.
He naturally wanted both sides to fight to the death, preferably leaving no one alive.
A slight curve formed on Lin Xiaotian's lips. "You don't need to play any tricks on me. I've seen through all your intentions. Don't worry, not a single one of these Song family members will escape tonight."
"Every single one of them will be dealt with here."
Anger began to burn in the Song family patriarch's eyes, filled with immense fury.
So, he had been tricked all along.
And this bastard Bai Wuji dared to mock them like this.
"I will make you die! Especially you, Bai Wuji, I will skin you alive, bit by bit, and then cut you into a thousand pieces."
"How dare you toy with me? Who gave you the courage?"
As he spoke these words, he took a step forward, a slender, cicada-wing-thin knife appearing in his hand. Simultaneously, he signaled to the men behind him.
The Song family members immediately surrounded Lin Xiaotian, their eyes filled with cold glints.
At this moment, they had only one thought: to kill Lin Xiaotian right here and completely seal off the news. Otherwise, not a single one of them would escape, and the Special Operations Department would also come after them.
It was now a fight to the death.
A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Are you thinking of killing me here and completely suppressing the news?"
"Unfortunately, I have to tell you, I just made a call to Old Li. Old Li told me that what you guys have done is heinous, but unfortunately, he couldn't catch your tails."
"Old Li has helped me so much before, and I haven't done anything for him. Today, I can take care of all of you here, which will also resolve a major concern for Old Li."
The Song family patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "The battle hasn't even begun, and who will win is still unknown."
"Besides, don't you know the signature skills of our Song family?"
