Ye Wantong's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of brightness when she heard this: "I remember you carved this jade pendant for me directly, right?"
"And you opened this jade yourself."
"This means you can directly create such a treasure."
Lin Xiaotian smiled proudly: "Of course, but finding such treasures is very energy-consuming, and ordinary people have no chance to get them."
"It's because I find you adorable, and I can't bear to see you get hurt, otherwise I might be reluctant to give you such a precious thing."
"Actually, when I gave you this jade, I had already predicted that you would encounter this calamity."
"You're bragging!" Ye Wantong directly gave Lin Xiaotian a charming white eye.
But thinking of the jade pendant's magic, her eyes flickered with brightness again: "Can I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?"
Lin Xiaotian raised his eyebrows. He had already guessed it and said directly: "If you want me to mass-produce such jade pendants, then forget it."
"I've already told you, I know these jade pendants consume a lot of energy."
"I don't want to be a money-making tool, I am..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Wantong hugged his arm tightly: "Ten is enough, I only need these to make my jewelry store famous."
"You also know about the bet I made with my family, and a month hasn't even passed yet!"
"And the better my performance is, the more it will silence those people."
"Please, help me..."
Ye Wantong said coquettishly, "Ten is enough, I don't need too many. If I guessed correctly, the jade pendant you gave my cousin must have the same effect."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's just that your cousin hasn't discovered it yet."
"However, ten is impossible, so don't even think about it. Making such jade pendants has extremely strict requirements and consumes too much energy. I can only give you three at most."
"Deal!" Ye Wantong grabbed Lin Xiaotian's hand without hesitation and gently patted it.
"You've already agreed, so you can't go back on your word. When are you going to give me these three jade pendants?"
Ye Wantong's eyes curved into crescent moons. She hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to agree so readily.
After all, for such a treasure, let alone three,
getting even one would be lucky.
Lin Xiaotian could clearly see what Ye Wantong was thinking. He still had a faint smile on his face and said directly: "Girl, there's nothing else here, you should go back first!"
"After all, the scene still needs to be dealt with. Those people are already dead, and they need to be completely cleaned up. You go back first, and I'll handle things here."
Ye Wantong nodded: "Then don't forget the jade pendants you promised me, at least three, and it would be great if there were more."
She left, looking back repeatedly, her eyes still filled with tenderness.
After Ye Wantong left, Lin Xiaotian's smile gradually disappeared, and his gaze turned to the胖老板 lying on the ground.
The 胖老板's mentality had long since collapsed. He had wanted to beg for mercy just now, but he was completely controlled by Lin Xiaotian and couldn't utter a single word of plea.
And Lin Xiaotian even said he was stubborn, when in fact he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"I said, I gave you a chance, and you should cherish it. And just now was a very good opportunity, but you couldn't speak."
The 胖老板's eyes widened, filled with bloodshot veins.
So it wasn't that Lin Xiaotian forgot, but that he deliberately prevented him from speaking.
And why was that?
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile: "Do you want to ask why I'm deliberately messing with you?"
"Do you feel the pain all over your body getting worse, especially in your heart, as if an invisible hand is squeezing it?"
"And your whole body feels like it's being cut by a dull knife, getting more and more painful."
The 胖老板 couldn't speak and couldn't move. His eyes were filled with pleading.
If he were given another chance, he would never agree to that person's request, nor would he have dealt with Lin Xiaotian. This was simply a devil.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said: "Are you regretting it now?"
Tears streamed down the 胖老板's eyes.
He didn't just regret it; he regretted it to the core.
If he weren't unable to move, he would have crawled in front of Lin Xiaotian and wailed in tears.
Lin Xiaotian reached out and pulled out a silver needle from the 胖老板's body, his eyes filled with a playful look: "Now you can speak, and your pain has been temporarily suppressed."
"I don't want to repeat myself. Tell me everything you know."
The 胖老板 immediately prostrated himself on the ground and sobbed tearfully: "I'm sorry, I truly know I was wrong. Please spare me."
"Even if you give me a quick death, it's fine. I don't want to endure this pain anymore."
Lin Xiaotian raised his eyebrows: "You say you know you're wrong, but your actions show no sign of it."
"You don't tell me what I want to know, and you keep beating around the bush."
"It seems the pain I gave you isn't enough. You should know what it's like to wish you were dead."
The silver needles reappeared between his fingers, like dancing sprites.
Seeing this, the 胖老板 couldn't help but show a look of fear.
His hesitation completely vanished. He didn't want to hide anything anymore, and cried out tearfully: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about begging for mercy just now and forgot to speak."
"The person who cooperated with me is Ye Lingfeng."
"Now that this bastard has become crippled, his legs are gone. He was sent to the hospital and is lying in the intensive care unit."
"Originally, I didn't want to bother with him, but he sent someone to give me a message, saying that if I could help him, he would give me a treasure he had collected before."
"It's a jade seal from the Qing Dynasty. That treasure is priceless, worth at least over three hundred million. After he gave me these things, he also outlined some plans."
"That is, the idea of controlling Ye Wantong and using her to threaten you was all his."
"And he also showed me the jade seal. As long as I could capture Ye Wantong, he would definitely give me that treasure. And now that he's crippled, he hates you to the bone."
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly: "So it was this guy causing trouble. Didn't Old Master Ye deal with him back then?"
Thinking of Old Master Ye's personality, Lin Xiaotian smiled and shook his head: "The old man was still a bit too soft-hearted."
