Chapter 276 Hidden Mastermind

A hint of a smile appeared in Lin Xiaotian's eyes. He had already noticed the driver's actions.

Although it was very subtle, it couldn't escape his gaze.

"Are you trying to stall for time until the poison in your body takes effect?"

The driver's face suddenly changed, his pupils contracting violently. "You found out?"

Lin Xiaotian nodded. "Are you also going to say that even if I found out, it's too late? You've already swallowed the poison, and it's a deadly poison that seals your throat upon contact?"

"Since you've already guessed it, I have nothing more to say to you. Don't expect me to reveal any useful information. I will absolutely not tell you."

As he said this, he took a deep breath, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. "The poison has already started to take effect."

"It won't take a minute for the poison to cause a perforated stomach, and then..."

Before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian threw a punch directly at his stomach.

"Bang!"

The powerful punch sent him doubling over and vomiting.

He felt like he was about to spit out his gall.

The poison pill he had swallowed and his broken teeth all fell to the ground.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. The punch to his stomach had made him completely lose control.

Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "The remaining poison in your body is not enough to kill you, but it will make you suffer unbearable pain."

"You can endure this pain slowly. I have plenty of ways to pry open your mouth."

"You're too naive to try any tricks on me."

"Although I don't know what you do, you've been targeting my wife's company. You should have already thought about the consequences."

When the driver heard this, his teeth gnashed together.

His eyes were filled with immense hatred. "Lin Xiaotian, you should go and ask Chu Nianxue directly about this matter. Ask her what she did back then."

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation."

"Even if you pry open my mouth, you won't get any useful information, because like Li Tian, I am just a puppet in someone else's hands."

"The way they control me is a tiny worm, and that worm has already entered my head. Even if you have the strongest medical skills, it's useless. That worm will still eat away at my brain."

"So I felt that I might betray them. I don't want to die in extreme pain."

Every time he thought of the pain he had experienced before, it felt like a trip to the eighteenth level of hell.

Even remembering it now made him shiver, and his gaze towards Lin Xiaotian was filled with endless rage. "Although I have a small conflict with Chu Nianxue, it's not enough to make me this crazy. The real trouble was caused by you."

"If it weren't for you, Chu Nianxue wouldn't have encountered so many troubles, and I wouldn't have been used by those people."

"They just wanted to use the animosity between Chu Nianxue and me, and then use me as a pawn to deal with you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian already had a general guess. His eyes became colder. "Since you don't want to talk, I'll fulfill your wish. You can die now."

"But before you die, I will definitely make the little worm inside you come out and meet you."

After Lin Xiaotian finished speaking with a smile, several silver needles appeared in his hand.

The needles were inserted at lightning speed.

The moment they pierced him, the driver felt something move inside his head, as if a taut string had been lightly plucked.

The pain of a string being plucked in his mind was unimaginable.

He couldn't help but let out a scream.

Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "This is just the beginning. Don't rush. Soon, the little worm will be unbearable and will crawl out on its own."

"Where it comes out of your body will depend on your luck."

"Since you're already a dying person, I'll let you see what that worm looks like, so you don't have to be so terrified."

He had already made up his mind that sometimes one had to do the opposite.

The driver was indeed rolling on the ground in pain, his eyes filled with fear and dread.

"Please, don't continue. I can't take it anymore."

"Give me a quick death. I really don't know who that person is. When he found me, he just asked if I wanted revenge."

"I said yes, and then he gave me some information, telling me to find Li Tian. You already know what happened next. And he made me take a pill, which contained a small worm. This worm entered my head."

"The pain is countless times more intense than this. Please, spare me. I really don't know anything."

Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "It's precisely because you don't know anything that I don't want to ask you anymore."

"Since I can't get any valuable information from you, it's better to give you a quick death. After all, you already harbored resentment towards my wife, and I will never leave any trouble behind."

"Haven't you heard that giving your enemy an opportunity is digging your own grave?"

"Just like Li Tian this time, if I didn't need him to lure out the bigger fish, I would have killed him with a single slap. I wouldn't have kept him until now."

The driver's eyes were filled with fear, and his gaze was full of pleading. "I have no more value. Even if you kill me, the person behind me will definitely not show themselves."

"I'm just a tool they found and used. Who would put themselves in a desperate situation for their tool?"

"I actually know very well that the person behind me is very afraid of you. Otherwise, he wouldn't be targeting you indirectly."

"His strength is greater than yours. He would face you directly."

Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Do I need to guess these things?"

"Since you already know, someone like that is no match for me, and you are nothing in my hands. I was planning to teach you a lesson today."

"Don't worry, that little worm will come out soon. Just endure the pain for a bit. After you see the little worm, if you still want to die, I will grant your wish."
