But the most powerful master had already left him, and his heart was filled with anger and resentment.
Just then, Lin Xiaotian came knocking, and he was helpless. With his ordinary strength, how could he possibly deal with those powerful martial arts experts?
As his thoughts raced and he was filled with extreme fear, the sound suddenly quieted down.
At this moment, his heart was in his mouth. He listened carefully but heard no sound at all. A thought involuntarily popped into his mind.
"Did Lin Xiaotian turn around and leave when he saw no one in the office?"
"But why didn't I hear any footsteps leaving?"
Just as he hesitated whether to peek out, he suddenly heard a loud bang by his ear, which startled him so much that he fell to the ground.
The desk he was hiding behind was smashed into two halves with a single palm strike.
If he hadn't been quick enough, it would have hit him directly.
"Not hiding anymore?" Lin Xiaotian asked with a brilliant smile.
"I thought you would keep hiding and get crushed to death by the desk without coming out."
Zhao Feipeng's face was filled with anger. He wiped the scratch on his face and said through gritted teeth, "You noticed me earlier?"
Lin Xiaotian nodded, "You are just an ordinary person. Trying to hide from me is like a fool's dream."
"Since you noticed me long ago, why didn't you make a move earlier? That sudden strike almost scared me to death."
"Don't you know that scaring people to death is a real thing?" Zhao Feipeng shouted angrily through gritted teeth.
The moment Zhao Feipeng's voice fell, Lin Xiaotian raised his hand and slapped him hard.
"Slap!"
A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out.
Zhao Feipeng was sent flying backward. When he landed on the ground, he lost more than a dozen teeth, and half of his face was already bleeding.
The force of the slap was so great that it tore some of his skin.
Half of his face looked extremely terrifying at this moment, and the whites of his eyes had turned blood red.
"It seems you still haven't realized your situation. Do you think I came to find you for a chat?"
"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about me, and some misjudgment about yourself."
"You still dare to yell at me. For the things you've done, I now want to slap you to death."
Zhao Feipeng's head was still buzzing. At this moment, he felt like his brain was about to be smashed. The pain made him want to vomit even as he lay on the ground.
Lying there, he still felt like the world was spinning, and the sensation in his head caused him extreme pain.
Lin Xiaotian walked up to him with a smile, then grabbed his hair and pulled him up from the ground.
The intense pain made Zhao Feipeng a little clearer. He struggled with all his might, or his scalp would have been ripped off.
Fear appeared on his face, and he trembled, saying, "I'm sorry, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have reminded them. This wasn't my idea; they wanted to use me to deal with you."
"I have no enmity with you, so I wouldn't deliberately trouble you. Those guys, I don't know where they came from, used me as a tool."
"Everything I'm saying is true. I'm not lying to you. If I were someone that powerful, I wouldn't be like this now, letting you bully me at will. I would at least have a few experts protecting me, right?"
Lin Xiaotian squinted and smiled, "There was indeed an expert by your side before. But you, do you know what foolish thing you did? After learning the truth, he would have fled immediately. Because he knew that staying by your side for another second could be an irresponsible act towards his own life."
"Am I right?"
Seeing the change in Zhao Feipeng's expression, Lin Xiaotian had already guessed what he was thinking. And with every sentence he spoke, he kept staring into Zhao Feipeng's eyes.
A person's eyes are the windows to their soul, and the changes in their gaze cannot escape the observation of an expert.
Zhao Feipeng felt as if he had been seen through by Lin Xiaotian when he spoke, and it was a very uncomfortable feeling.
It was as if he had no secrets in front of Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian still wore a smile, "This matter should have been your own decision. The expert by your side was also afraid of retaliation, so he left you directly. Since the matter has come to this, there's no need to waste more words with you."
"I will send you to the Yellow Springs Road right now. Those people you sent away earlier are all waiting for you on the Yellow Springs Road!"
Just as he was about to make his move, Zhao Feipeng shouted urgently.
"Spare my life!"
"I truly made a mistake. I will never do such a thing again. Please give me one last chance. I can exchange my life for something else."
"As you should have seen when you came up, the third floor is filled with precious antiques. I used special methods to counterfeit those precious antiques."
"But the genuine ones are all in my hands. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will give them all to you, not keeping a single one."
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced. He said directly, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"You dare to insult my intelligence. After I kill you, those things will still be mine. I just need to find someone to move them. In the eyes of your employees in this intermediary company, those things are just worthless old junk."
After all, the antique industry has very few people involved, and not many truly understand the core of it. Moreover, the role Zhao Feipeng played was an even greater secret.
In the eyes of the people downstairs, the third floor was where their boss usually made some favorite crafts, imitating the appearance of old items.
But Lin Xiaotian knew very well that those were just imitations, but the imitation technology was very superb. It was highly possible that this matter was not done by Zhao Feipeng alone.
There must have been others involved.
Although he saw through it, he didn't expose it. He still wore a smile on his face.
Zhao Feipeng thought Lin Xiaotian was deliberately trying to trick him. He shook his head like a drum and forced a smile on his face, "You've really misunderstood. This matter has little to do with me."
"Besides, keeping me must have a greater use for you. Don't think that this is just an intermediary company as a facade. I have a bigger secret here."
