Guan Wei didn't hesitate for too long, his legs went weak, and he knelt before Lin Xiaotian.
His eyes were filled with trembling: "You've seen my hand, I was truly forced into it."
"If you want revenge, you can take me to him right now."
"I know where he lives, and he lives there permanently. I arranged the environment for him. As long as you find them, please, can you spare my life?"
"I've had enough of that kind of pain, I absolutely don't want to experience it again. Besides, I have such a large company to inherit. Although it's already in a semi-bankrupt state, even if our company goes bankrupt, I'll still have enough money to live a carefree life."
"As long as I can live, I'll do anything."
The smile on Lin Xiaotian's face became even more pronounced: "Are you treating my words as idle chatter? What did I just tell you? It seems you haven't taken a single word to heart."
"I've clearly told you, you won't live today."
A chilling coldness emerged in his voice.
From the very beginning, he never intended to let the person behind this scheme off the hook. It didn't matter what reason Young Master Guan was involved.
Once it's done, a price must be paid.
"We're all adults, don't be so naive."
Lin Xiaotian walked over and directly lifted him from the ground: "Besides, haven't you done enough wicked deeds yourself?"
"You should have faced retribution long ago. But those people used you as a puppet, so they healed you. However, they had no idea that the hidden injuries I left you were nothing."
"It was just a small lesson for you. Now that they've healed you, I can inflict them again, and it will be a thousand times more painful than before."
"I'll give you ten seconds to consider. Once the time is up, even if you want to choose, you might not have the chance."
Guan Wei hesitated for only a few seconds before gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll take you to see them immediately. I only beg you to give me a quick end then."
Lin Xiaotian smiled thoughtfully: "Very good performance."
"I'm very satisfied with your performance. Take me to see them now. If we find any clues from them, perhaps I can spare your dog's life."
Guan Wei didn't expect Lin Xiaotian to let him go. Now he had only one thought: once they got there, he had to find a way to enrage Lin Xiaotian to death. As long as Lin Xiaotian was alive, he would be restless.
This guy had become a psychological shadow in his heart. As long as Lin Xiaotian was alive, he would always worry about Lin Xiaotian killing him at any moment.
Lin Xiaotian had already guessed some of it, but he didn't expose it directly. Instead, he let Guan Wei lead him to a courtyard villa in the suburbs.
This courtyard villa was like a traditional quadrangle courtyard from ancient times.
The structure was almost entirely made of wood, without a single iron nail.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile: "This place is very nice. As your burial ground, you've chosen a good scenery for yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Guan Wei couldn't help but shiver. He felt as if Lin Xiaotian had seen through his thoughts.
But at this moment, he didn't know what to say.
He could only push open the door, walk directly into the courtyard, and shout loudly: "Mr. Song, please save me!"
"Lin Xiaotian is here, and he has discovered our plan."
"Didn't you set up traps in the courtyard? Hurry up and act. You said Lin Xiaotian would definitely come looking for us. Now he's here, don't hesitate any longer."
As he said these words, he quickly ran forward.
But after running a few steps, he suddenly felt something sting him. He jumped up from the ground, his eyes filled with terror.
He subconsciously looked down and found a scorpion crawling on his leg.
After the black scorpion stung him, it fell to the ground limply, as if all its life had been drained.
A thin black line appeared at the sting site, spreading towards his meridians. His face was filled with extreme panic: "Mr. Song, you've made a mistake. I'm being attacked right now."
"Lin Xiaotian is behind me, he hasn't fully entered the door yet."
His voice was met with silence. At this moment, he was completely despairing, feeling like an abandoned chess piece.
"Mr. Song, please save me. Even if I haven't contributed, I've at least worked hard. Moreover, I personally brought Lin Xiaotian here, letting him step into this trap himself."
"Please, save me!"
At this moment, a door in the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
A man in his forties walked out. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and holding a wooden gourd. His face was expressionless, but his face was somewhat pockmarked.
His eyes were narrow and sharp, and when he looked at people, his gaze flickered with malice.
His tall, thin body was as fragile as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
"Serves you right!"
He spat out two words, his hoarse voice like a knife scratching glass.
Guan Wei's eyes showed disbelief: "Mr. Song, didn't you say you would rely on me for supplies in the future? If you kill me now, no one will worship you as an immortal anymore."
Mr. Song snorted coldly: "Do you believe everything I say?"
"Then before, I told you not to provoke Lin Xiaotian easily, and to let Lin Xiaotian find his way here on his own. I wasn't fully prepared yet, and you attracted him here. If we can't control him this time, we'll be the ones in trouble."
As he said this, his voice became even colder: "I've also prepared most of it. Even if Lin Xiaotian is strong, he won't be able to escape my formation."
His gaze then turned to Lin Xiaotian, his eyes filled with a chilling malice.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you might come in a few days, but I didn't expect you to be so eager to come to my door now."
"Do you like the little gift I prepared for you?"
As his voice fell, he scattered a pile of white powder from the gourd in his hand.
As soon as it met the air, it began to evaporate. A nauseating smell emanated from the air.
From the cracks in the stone slabs around the courtyard, countless small insects emerged: centipedes, scorpions, and even more strange, unidentifiable small bugs.
All these insects converged towards Lin Xiaotian.
