Lin Xiaotian kicked Wu Yuxuan, sending him flying out of the villa.
Outside the villa, there was no trash can, only the hard ground.
As Wu Yuxuan hit the ground, he felt as if all his bones had shattered, and the pain jolted him awake.
His heart trembled with fear. He found no one around and realized he was already outside the villa.
Struggling to get up, he still felt dizzy, but he didn't hesitate and quickly ran out.
Only after getting into his car did he feel a sliver of security. His hands trembled as he started the engine.
A flicker of spirit gradually returned to his eyes. As he drove away, his thoughts began to form.
"Lin Xiaotian, you bastard, I'll fight you to the death."
"I'll take your woman right in front of you and torture you to death."
His angry words seemed to materialize, filled with endless malice.
As he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, he was so terrified he flinched.
A figure sat in his car. The figure's face was unclear, but it exuded an icy, bone-chilling killing intent.
He slammed on the brakes.
In that instant, he felt an overwhelming sense of fear engulf him.
His voice trembled violently.
"Who... who are you?"
"Why are you in my car?"
The person in the back seat slowly raised their head. Their face was expressionless, but a cold curve played on their lips.
"You're not qualified to know who I am, but I can give you an opportunity. Do you want revenge?"
Wu Yuxuan was slightly stunned when he heard this and instinctively asked, "You want to help me get revenge?"
"It's not me helping you get revenge, but you acting yourself. However, I can give you sufficient confidence."
"Lin Xiaotian's strength is indeed formidable, but human strength has its limits. I've already understood the trap you set up earlier, and now I intend to use your trap to target Lin Xiaotian."
"If you want revenge, we can form an alliance now."
The masked man's voice was icy, sending chills down Wu Yuxuan's spine.
He wasn't an idiot; he didn't want to cooperate with such a dangerous person.
"What happens if I don't cooperate?"
"Furthermore, if our Antique Association wants to deal with Lin Xiaotian, we don't need outside help. I'll go back now and report everything. There will be plenty of people to deal with Lin Xiaotian."
"Your lot of trash?"
The masked man let out a disdainful cold laugh, his eyes sharp and piercing. "You've already seen my face today. If you don't want to cooperate with us, you have only one outcome."
"Death!"
As his voice fell, a sharp blade appeared in his hand, flashing forward.
Wu Yuxuan felt a tickle on his neck and instinctively reached up to touch it.
He felt a hand covered in blood.
His face contorted in extreme terror. "Are you crazy? You want to kill me?"
"I've already given you an opportunity. You'd better consider it carefully. I'll give you ten seconds. If you can't give me a clear answer, the next strike won't spare your life."
The masked man's eyes showed no emotion, still staring at Wu Yuxuan as if he were prey.
There was a hint of amusement and disdain in his gaze.
Ordinary people like him were like ants before him.
Wu Yuxuan trembled uncontrollably. He now suspected he had stumbled into a den of immortals.
Lin Xiaotian's own strength was one thing, but why was everyone he encountered so terrifying?
He dared not gamble; if the other party truly killed him, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"Whatever you want to cooperate on, I agree."
The masked man smiled. "I will give you instructions. Remember to keep your phone accessible at all times."
After saying this, his figure vanished from the back seat of the car like a phantom.
Wu Yuxuan's eyes widened, disbelief evident in them, filled with shock.
His heart churned like a stormy sea.
He reached into the back seat and felt around, confirming no one was there. He wondered if he had been dreaming.
Had the beating from Lin Xiaotian today caused him to hallucinate?
As he was pondering these thoughts, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck. It was then he realized that everything that had happened was real, and he wasn't hallucinating.
"Was that guy a human or a ghost?"
His entire body trembled violently. Without any hesitation, he floored the accelerator and sped towards home.
Everything that had happened tonight had shattered his understanding of the world.
Fear consumed his body and mind.
Lin Xiaotian sat on the sofa at home, his smile widening as he looked at Chu Nianxue's annoyed expression.
"Wife, we're an old married couple. Is it necessary to be so angry over a kiss?"
"I'm talking about what happened earlier. Can you not be so impulsive in the future?"
Chu Nianxue's face was tinged with annoyance. "We could have refused the cooperation with the Antique Association, but Wu Yuxuan was their representative."
"Now that you've beaten him up like this, it's equivalent to slapping the Antique Association in the face."
"They definitely won't let this go. If we can't join them, our company's antique procurement channels will be jointly blocked by them."
"We're not collectors; we're traders. Without procurement channels, our existing stock of antiques will be sold out soon."
"What will we do business with then?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile didn't diminish when he heard this. "The bridge will appear when we come to it, wife. Don't worry, they might come to you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, hand this matter over to me. I'll make sure they cooperate with you obediently."
"Then, even if you want to be the president of the Antique Association, they'll put you on the pedestal."
He spoke with great confidence.
In his heart, he knew this matter wasn't just about the company. The fact that he had produced so many precious antiques must have attracted envy.
Now, the wolves were at the door.
Chu Nianxue understood this. She was just a little angry; his impulsiveness was for her.
In her heart, there was more gratitude.
Her voice softened slightly. "I want you to stop being so impulsive in the future. If you seriously injure someone, they'll find ways to put you away. Do you want me to wait for you alone outside?"
