The dagger, at a distance of over ten centimeters from Lin Xiaotian, suddenly changed direction and lunged towards Ye Wantong beside him.
The speed was lightning-fast, and Ye Wantong's pupils contracted violently. For a moment, she forgot to retreat.
But just then, a large hand reached out and pulled her shoulder into an embrace.
At the same time, a dull thud was heard.
"Bang!"
The middle-aged man, who had charged forward, was sent flying backward even faster, slamming against the wall. He fell down more than two seconds later.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. His speed was already considered fast, yet in front of Lin Xiaotian, he was utterly defenseless.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Why are you so powerful?" Kuai Shu Ge
He coughed out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with a manic intensity.
However, this frenzied look shifted towards Ye Wantong, as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them, like patricide.
Ye Wantong finally snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with fear.
If it weren't for her passing by the company, wanting to check on her cousin's recent situation, and also wanting to ask Lin Xiaotian for a small favor, it was actually because she missed Lin Xiaotian. They hadn't seen each other for two days.
This scoundrel didn't even call her.
Her longing had led her to take this extra step.
Could it be true, as that scoundrel had said, that she was destined to be entangled with him for a lifetime?
"Ye Wantong, even if I die today, I will splash you with my blood."
"You ruined my family, and I will absolutely not let you go now."
The middle-aged man said, picking up the dagger from the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth, and then charging at Ye Wantong again without hesitation.
However, this time he was even faster.
When he hit the wall, the cracking sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Why bother?"
"Knowing you can't beat me, you still came to your death."
"Aren't you being foolish?"
The middle-aged man struggled to get up, but several ribs were broken, and his arm was dislocated.
He could only lean against the wall, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with an even more intense madness.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even brighter. "Whatever grudges or enmities you have, you can tell me directly. If you say that this girl inexplicably ruined your family, I absolutely do not believe it."
"I know this girl's character very well, and she's incapable of doing anything so extreme."
"There must be some misunderstanding in between, right?"
Ye Wantong gritted her teeth. "There is no misunderstanding. I did indeed cause his family's ruin."
"And I was the one who initiated this matter."
As she said this, Lin Xiaotian's face showed a look of surprise. Knowing Ye Wantong's character, she would never do such a thing without reason.
The problem likely lay with the other party.
"Girl, what exactly happened?" Lin Xiaotian asked with a smile.
Ye Wantong bit her red lips, and when her gaze fell on Lin Xiaotian, a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes. "You never thought of me as a malicious person?"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. "I only believe my own eyes."
"My Fiery Golden Eyes have never misjudged anyone."
"And I believe you must have had a reason for doing this, otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
Ye Wantong took several deep breaths, but she did not explain the reason for the matter.
Instead, she looked at the middle-aged man. "You know the grievances between us better than I do. I won't say it out loud here. Let's have you explain it yourself and let Lin Xiaotian judge who is right and who is wrong."
The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and gritted his teeth. "There's no need for anyone to judge the enmity between us."
"Now my family is ruined, and I have nothing."
"If you hadn't cornered me, my family wouldn't have jumped to their deaths. I know best how they died."
"And you are the main culprit."
Ye Wantong's body trembled slightly. "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it. I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. I'll sue you directly, after all, you intended to kill me."
"I fear that at your age, you'll never get out of prison in this lifetime, and you'll no longer pose any threat to me."
"You can hate me all you want."
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Girl, have you never considered that someone else might be manipulating this situation?"
"Someone might be using him as a pawn, or perhaps using this seed of hatred to cause you trouble."
"Given your personality, if this guy really intended to kill you, you wouldn't have done anything too extreme. After all, he's already in such a miserable state, you would surely show leniency."
"You wouldn't actually sue him."
"Your words now are just to make him escape quickly."
Ye Wantong bit her lip slightly, her gaze towards Lin Xiaotian filled with a hint of gentle reproach.
Why did this scoundrel understand her so well?
A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Even if this guy doesn't say it, I know. Your jewelry stores are expanding rapidly recently, and your business is increasing, which is bound to encroach on the territory of your competitors."
"This guy should also be a jewelry store owner. The reason for this incident is the result of business competition."
"However, this guy is ruthless and vicious. He pushed his wife and son off the building, claiming you drove them to bankruptcy and that his wife and son couldn't bear the hardship, so they jumped to their deaths."
Ye Wantong's eyes widened. She trusted Lin Xiaotian implicitly.
And this kind of act was simply beastly.
Lin Xiaotian smiled. "Girl, why are you looking at me? You should look at him, and ask this beast why he did it."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in disbelief at this moment, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "How did you know?"
This statement undeniably admitted his actions.
The smile on Lin Xiaotian's face became even more pronounced. "Of course, I deduced it. My intelligence is far beyond your reach."
"And if I'm not mistaken, you were also forced to do this."
"But you couldn't afford to offend those people, so you transferred your hatred onto this girl."
"Thinking she caused your family's ruin."
"All of this was calculated by me. I was curious, so I performed a mental divination, and the results greatly surprised me."
"They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, but you're too selfish. If you had jumped yourself back then, perhaps those people would have let your wife and children go. But you didn't. To save your own life, you acted ruthlessly."
"Don't pretend to be hateful in front of me. You don't deserve any sympathy."
