Lin Xiaotian flicked his finger.
A wisp of spiritual energy instantly shot into the acupoint of the man with the scar.
"I gave you a chance, but you were useless!"
As he heard these words, the scarred man had a very bad premonition. Before he could even react, he felt a sharp pain throughout his body, followed by an uncontrollable numbness.
His forward motion faltered for an instant, and then he directly face-planted onto the ground.
A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. He casually pulled away the cloth covering his face and sauntered over with a grin.
"Do you know how much convenience I created for you? But you're just too weak."
"Even if I blindfolded myself, you still wouldn't be able to escape."
"I gave you such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, you couldn't seize it!"
The scarred man's voice trembled, "What exactly did you do to me?"
"Why can't I move now?"
His fear began to spread uncontrollably.
Lin Xiaotian's face broke into a radiant smile. "It's nothing much, I just lightly touched you."
"Consider it as me pressing your acupoints. You definitely can't move now, as I still have some information I need to get from you."
"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, your fate will be quite miserable, as you're not exactly someone who listens."
The scarred man was already terrified, and at this moment, he didn't dare to retort Lin Xiaotian's words.
"Ask away. If I know it, I'll tell you without hesitation."
Lin Xiaotian raised his hand and slapped the back of the scarred man's head, smiling, "What do I want to know? Don't you have any idea?"
"You dared to touch my people. If you don't pay a price, people will think I'm easy to bully."
"Even if you wanted to find a soft target, you shouldn't have targeted someone close to me. I've given you chances multiple times, and you still have to obediently lie down and admit defeat."
The scarred man felt incredibly wronged.
He had completely lost any thought of revenge. His only desire was to escape from this guy's sight.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died. With just a light touch, he couldn't move an inch. This was no different from the immortals in legends.
"Brother, I really don't know what you want to ask!"
"Could you give me a hint?"
"You've hit my head so hard that it's ringing, and I've lost my train of thought. Just give me a little hint, and I'll tell you everything I know."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Then tell me immediately, who sent you?"
"And what was their objective?"
The scarred man answered without hesitation, "It was Ye Lingfeng."
"He wanted me to kidnap Ye Wantong directly."
"As long as Ye Wantong could be captured, he would have enough leverage for negotiation. As for what he specifically wanted to do, I don't know. I was just taking money to do a job."
"Ye Lingfeng is not a good person. When I made the deal with him, I was constantly wary of him playing tricks, so I specifically kept a small piece of evidence."
"If you don't believe me, you can take my phone and see for yourself."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "You're not exactly a good person either, but your brain is quite functional. At least you knew to keep a piece of evidence for yourself."
"If you can't prove that Ye Lingfeng ordered this, then today you'll truly wish you were dead."
Hearing this, the scarred man's eyes showed obvious relief.
If he were given a chance now, he would immediately turn and run. He didn't want to die at Lin Xiaotian's hands, nor did he want to die so shamefully.
After smilingly watching the video, Lin Xiaotian said, "You performed well. I'll spare your life for now."
"Really?"
The scarred man couldn't believe what he was hearing. Lin Xiaotian was letting him go so easily?
Lin Xiaotian waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly. "You can leave now."
"I don't intend to kill you. After all, your death would bring me no benefit."
"Killing you would only cause me some trouble. You living can help clean things up a bit."
Lin Xiaotian flicked a wisp of spiritual energy, releasing the scarred man's acupoints.
"In the future, make sure to keep your eyes open. Otherwise, not everyone will be as good-tempered as I am."
The scarred man, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, got up from the ground and bowed tearfully to Lin Xiaotian. "Thank you for giving me this chance. I'll disappear immediately and promise never to appear before you again."
"Wherever you are, I will give it a wide berth and absolutely dare not approach."
He spoke the truth.
If it weren't for being forced, he wouldn't want to be on Lin Xiaotian's bad side.
Everything that happened tonight had overturned his understanding of the world.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became exceptionally bright. "I didn't say you could leave immediately. At least clean this place up for me. It wouldn't be good if some flowers and plants were scared."
The scarred man finally felt a deep sense of relief.
Lin Xiaotian walked towards the parking spot with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he got into the car, Ye Wantong's questioning voice came through.
"You're not usually so generous. Why did you suddenly let him go?"
"Given your personality, he would have at least been beaten within an inch of his life, if not worse. But you let this guy walk away so brazenly. What are you thinking?"
Ye Wantong felt something was off, especially the look in Lin Xiaotian's eyes when he smiled, which made her feel a trace of pity deep down.
This scoundrel was definitely plotting something again.
Lin Xiaotian smiled brilliantly. "I say, girl, shouldn't you be thanking me? If I hadn't helped you tonight."
"Guess what would have happened to you? With the character of those scarred guys, do you think you would have had a good outcome if they had taken you?"
"But I already know who was behind all this."
"Now I'm preparing to expose him directly. Are you interested in coming along?"
Ye Wantong's eyes lit up. "You actually found out who instigated this? How did you do it? Did that person just tell you everything so readily?"
She still harbored a trace of disbelief.
Lin Xiaotian chuckled proudly. "Of course. Have you seen who's making a move?"
"When I make a move, how can I possibly fail?"
"And right now, I'm casting a long line to catch a big fish."
