Chapter 988 Why Bother

"Sir, I know I was wrong. Please spare me!"

In his despair, Xiao Lingtong knelt on the bed and began to kowtow to Po Xiao.

He didn't even bother to think about how the other party found him; it was meaningless to him now.

The only way he could think of to appease the anger in the other party's heart was to kowtow and apologize. Perhaps this could save his life.

"Heh, you are still so sensible."

Ye Cangtian sat on a nearby recliner, lit a cigarette, and spoke with a face full of mockery.

Although his face was smiling, Xiao Lingtong dared not relax at all. He quickly said, "Sir, please spare me. I am just a small bug in Sha City, not worth your notice..."

"Heh, you small bug are no ordinary one! You almost got me."

Ye Cangtian chuckled and directly interrupted the other party.

If it had been two other Earth-level powerhouses last night, they might not have returned.

So, although it seemed easy, it was actually extremely dangerous.

And the danger that brought him was Xiao Lingtong, who called himself a small bug and only possessed Yellow-level strength.

"Sir, sir, please don't say that. I'm really panicking. It's all my fault. Please just let me go like I'm passing gas..."

Hearing Po Xiao's voice, Xiao Lingtong trembled even more violently, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"You want to live? It's not impossible! I'm always quite magnanimous."

Ye Cangtian smiled playfully and continued, "As long as you tell me how to find Krumen, yesterday's matter will be forgotten..."

Huh?

What's going on?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingtong's eyes widened.

He had given Krumen's information to the other party yesterday, and the other party had missed.

That's not right!

If the other party had missed, they could have gone again tonight and wouldn't have come looking for him!

Could it be...

"Heh, no need to guess wildly. Krumen ran away last night. I think you know where he is..."

Seeing Xiao Lingtong's face change repeatedly but remaining silent, Ye Cangtian spoke directly, interrupting his speculation.

This...

Xiao Lingtong's mouth dropped open.

He had heard some rumors about Krumen ambushing Po Xiao, and with Krumen, that would be six Earth-level powerhouses.

Under the ambush of six people, Krumen still had to flee in disarray. What did that mean?

It could only mean that Po Xiao in front of him was too terrifying!

Thinking this, he quickly said, "Sir, although my information is quite up-to-date, it's all superficial. Most of it is provided by Krumen. But how could Krumen tell me his hiding place!"

"Heh, since you don't know, there's nothing we can do. We'll just have to settle the score from last night."

Hearing Xiao Lingtong's words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then glanced at Gui Wu beside him.

In his opinion, Xiao Lingtong was closely cooperating with Krumen. Even if he didn't know Krumen's hiding place, he at least knew how to find Krumen.

Since the other party refused to cooperate, he had no choice but to use some means. It was also time to settle the score from last night.

"This..."

Xiao Lingtong's expression suddenly changed. Seeing the harmless-looking woman walking towards him, he hesitated a little.

After all, Krumen was his biggest backing in Sha City. He naturally didn't want to betray him unless it was absolutely necessary.

And at this moment, the one making a move on him was a woman, which gave him a sliver of hope.

After all, she was a woman, so she shouldn't be too ruthless. Maybe he could endure it.

As long as he kept Krumen's information, Krumen would definitely take better care of him in the future.

"Ah!"

With his mind full of calculations, Xiao Lingtong let out a shrill scream the next moment.

Gui Wu went up and directly knocked Xiao Lingtong down onto the bed. Then, with a flick of her slender hand, a cold light flashed, accurately hitting between Xiao Lingtong's legs.

Gui Wu showed no mercy to Xiao Lingtong.

Besides being tricked by him before,

On the other hand, Gui Wu couldn't stand some of his perverted tastes, especially with two unconscious women on the ground.

She did this to make him harm fewer women.

The intense pain that struck him in an instant made Xiao Lingtong utterly desperate. He regretted everything.

Who knew this woman in front of him would be so ruthless!

"..."

Seeing this scene, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched, and his legs even involuntarily drew back.

Although Xiao Lingtong deserved his fate, a woman using such methods still made his heart inexplicably tighten.

However, Ye Cangtian quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Xiao Lingtong again and said faintly:

"This is retribution for you tricking us last night. Now, I'll ask you one more time, are you going to tell me or not!"

"Uh..."

Hearing the other party's voice, Xiao Lingtong, who was twitching on the bed, saw Gui Wu holding another dagger.

And in her beautiful eyes, there was a sharp cold light and a chilling killing intent.

He was completely sure that if Gui Wu made another move, she would definitely aim for his life.

"I... I'll tell you..."

Soon, Xiao Lingtong, enduring the pain, quickly spoke.

Although he was now crippled, he was still alive. But if Gui Wu made another move, he would be dead. How could he enjoy everything he had now?

"Heh, if you had said it earlier, you wouldn't have suffered."

Ye Cangtian smiled playfully and then made a gesture to invite him.

Seeing this.

Xiao Lingtong gritted his teeth and told them everything he knew.

Krumen had a small secret: he kept a lover in Sha City and would often spend time with her when he had nothing else to do.

When in danger, if Xiao Lingtong couldn't contact Krumen, he would find him through this lover.

A lover?

Ye Cangtian chuckled, then asked doubtfully, "Krumen is a high-ranking official in the Sky Net. Would he hide his lover?"

In response, Xiao Lingtong quickly said, "Krumen is quite afraid of his wife, but his legitimate wife has never been able to bear him a son, so he has to keep a lover secretly..."

"Heh, it seems he's like someone else. Very strong, but when he sees his wife, he's like a mouse seeing a cat."

Upon hearing this, Gui Wu chuckled and looked at Ye Cangtian playfully.

It was clear she was hinting at Ye Cangtian.

Hearing this, Ye Cangtian immediately glared at her. Although what she said was true, Krumen couldn't be compared to him!

He didn't keep a lover!

More importantly, he was currently in the identity of Po Xiao, and in everyone's eyes, Po Xiao had never had a woman.

If this led to an investigation by someone with ulterior motives, it could bring trouble to Po Xiao's identity.

Feeling Ye Cangtian's gaze, Gui Wu immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut her mouth.

Seeing this, Ye Cangtian stopped paying attention. He looked at Xiao Lingtong and said, "That's all for today. Your life is temporarily in your hands. I hope what you said is true."

He paused, then continued, "You'd better not play any more tricks. Although this is not our territory, we can find you once, and we can find you a second time. Take care of yourself!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Xiao Lingtong nodded repeatedly. Although he really wanted to kill Po Xiao and Gui Wu in front of him, and he had thought about designing against them again.

But Po Xiao's words instantly sobered him up.

His hideout here was extremely hidden. Very few people in Sha City knew about it.

And the other party, who had only been in Sha City for two days, found his hideout. This could only mean that their intelligence sources were terrifying.

The most crucial point was that Krumen's actions last night were foiled by the other party, and six Earth-level powerhouses could do nothing to him.

Even if he tried to design against them again, the result would likely be the same.

If his scheme failed, his life would definitely be lost.

Therefore, for the sake of his life, he chose to give up revenge and stay put honestly.

...

On the other side.

After warning Xiao Lingtong, Ye Cangtian left with Gui Wu.

He believed that after today's lesson, Xiao Lingtong would definitely behave, at least he wouldn't dare to scheme against them again.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to him not cherishing his own life.
