Song felt that his entire being was unwell, his gaze filled with apprehension and worry.
He had honestly confessed the people behind him. Although Lin Xiaotian had now agreed to let him go, those behind him would certainly not let this matter rest.
This was a done deal. If Lin Xiaotian truly abandoned him, he would have no escape from death.
"Lin Xiaotian, if you abandon me, you will truly be pushing me to a dead end!"
"So what if I push you to a dead end?" Lin Xiaotian's calm voice drifted over.
His eyes were filled with a mocking sneer. "Stop spewing useless nonsense in front of me. This is just your own doing. If you hadn't agreed to their demands back then, how could I have ended up in this situation?"
"I gave you a chance, and you didn't cherish it. If you had cooperated honestly, I would have surely paved a way for you to live. But you only came to me to tell the truth when you were desperate."
"Don't forget that you were the one who came to trouble me first, and I already had leverage over you. Do you think I would agree to protect you?"
Despair gradually filled Song's eyes. He knew Lin Xiaotian would no longer care about him.
He had handed over the clues to Lin Xiaotian, and now he had no more value. After casting a deep look at Lin Xiaotian, he could only stand up and struggle to walk towards the door.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to heal the injuries on your face?"
Song shook his head. "I dare not heal them now. If I truly recover, those behind me will definitely not let me off. If I maintain my current state, they will surely suspect that I haven't handed over the final clues to you yet."
Lin Xiaotian said nothing, his smile becoming even more pronounced.
As Song was about to leave, his voice reached him.
"Perhaps they will think of calling you to the front lines directly, after all, you hold the only clue. Even now, you haven't told me the real clues, but it's unnecessary. Even if you did, I wouldn't help you."
Song gritted his teeth and said nothing. He walked out directly, knowing he had no way out.
Even if he regretted it now, it was useless.
There was no such thing as a regret pill in this world. He had already made his choices and thought of the current punishment. Before coming to Lin Xiaotian, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if Lin Xiaotian didn't protect him, he couldn't do anything.
Being able to cure the extreme itchiness on his body was already the greatest gain.
Just as he reached the door and got into the car, the bodyguards behind him did not follow. The driver in the car had already started the engine.
Song took a few deep breaths. He had guessed that the driver had been replaced. The driver he had hired was his confidant.
"Who exactly are you? Where are you taking me?"
"You should have guessed, so there's no need to pretend in front of me. Song, I told you before that once this matter is discovered, you will surely bear the punishment for your greed."
"You shouldn't have given us away, nor should you have revealed those clues. The surveillance video you left on your phone has exposed some of our information to Lin Xiaotian. Don't worry, he won't catch our tail, but you won't live any longer."
"We know you must have told Lin Xiaotian some useful clues, otherwise, you would still be in unbearable pain like before. But the pain is no longer on your face."
Hearing this, Song hurriedly argued, "You've misunderstood. I didn't tell Lin Xiaotian those clues at all. I only gave Lin Xiaotian some valuable antique collections."
"Lin Xiaotian truly wants those things. I really didn't expose you, otherwise, my injuries would have healed long ago."
"If Lin Xiaotian healed my injuries, it would have been a simple matter, but he didn't heal me. Instead, he sent me back."
"Please let me go!"
However, the driver said nothing. The car drove very fast, and in just over ten minutes, it arrived at a villa in the suburbs.
These were all townhouses, only affordable for people with some assets.
The car stopped in front of a house, and as soon as it stopped, the door opened, and several bodyguards in black suits came out. They directly opened the car door.
"Mr. Song, please come in!"
Looking at them, Song took a few deep breaths. He knew he had no other choice but to follow them into the villa.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw an old man sitting there. His pupils suddenly contracted. Among the people who had come to trade with him before, this old man was one of them.
He had already thought of what to say on the way. Just as he was about to speak, the old man turned around.
"Mr. Song, do you know why we invited you here?"
"We could have made you disappear on the way, but we still lured you to this place. Guess why we did this?"
Song was slightly stunned. He knew he had lost his value, but these people still brought him here. This seemed to be their lair. Were these people not afraid of being exposed?
What was the reason for this?
He couldn't figure it out, and confusion appeared in his eyes. "Is it because I still have some use?"
The old man showed a mocking smile. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Do you think you still have any value?"
Song trembled slightly. "Then why did you bring me here?"
"As long as I have any use, I will unhesitatingly do as you say. Even if you ask me to deal with Lin Xiaotian again, I will not hesitate."
"Now, I hate Lin Xiaotian to the bone."
"If there's a chance, I will definitely not hesitate to strike at Lin Xiaotian. That guy has seized all my businesses and my remaining antiques, and I'm probably like a rat crossing the street now. If I die, those people will surely applaud."
"And my last resort has completely fallen into Lin Xiaotian's hands. I have also realized that my greatest enemy is Lin Xiaotian."
