Lin Xiaotian's smiling words finished, and the force of his foot suddenly increased.
"Crack!"
The sound of bone shattering suddenly rang out.
Zhou Chenghai let out a pained whimper from his throat.
His eyes were filled with terror.
He hadn't expected this guy to be a complete lunatic.
In front of so many people, he dared to beat him like this. Didn't he fear him reporting it?
While he was still thinking these thoughts, Lin Xiaotian produced two silver needles and flicked them out, accurately piercing Zhou Chenghai's acupoints.
As the silver needles landed.
"Ah..."
A piercing scream suddenly erupted from Zhou Chenghai's mouth.
The muscles in his face contorted and deformed, his whole body spasmed, and he writhed on the ground like a crawling maggot.
This sudden turn of events left everyone present dumbfounded.
"Holy crap!"
"What happened to him? Why did he become so terrifying? His face, without makeup, could scare people to death in the middle of the night."
"Didn't you see the two needles stuck in him? Lin Xiaotian must have done something, otherwise, how could he be in so much pain that he wants to die?"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and their gazes towards Lin Xiaotian now held a hint of fear.
Lin Xiaotian smiled brightly, "Everyone, don't be afraid. As long as you don't cause trouble for our Mingyue Pavilion, or go looking for it, I naturally won't deal with you."
"But if someone wants to stir up trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I've never been a good-tempered person, and I don't have the patience to beat around the bush with people. Whoever dares to touch my wife's business, I'll dare to touch their life."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed astonishment.
A hint of admiration appeared in their eyes.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "And you can go get yourselves checked. I guarantee you won't find a single trace of injury, no matter how hard I hit, you won't even be able to claim minor injuries."
"If anyone doesn't believe me, you can step forward now. I'll let you have your fill!"
This was a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The shops in the first building of this antique street had just opened, and it was inevitable that some people would have ideas.
Perhaps this Zhou Chenghai was just the beginning. If some people weren't beaten until they were in pain and scared, they would never give up. After all, sufficient profit could make them risk their necks to make mistakes.
Man dies for wealth, birds die for food; this is an eternal truth.
Many people now felt a sense of fear when looking at Lin Xiaotian.
Although Lin Xiaotian was smiling, he gave them the feeling of sharp cold light piercing their hearts.
Only two to three minutes had passed, yet no one in the crowd spoke. They all waited in fearful silence.
Li Tian, who had been hiding at the back, trembled uncontrollably.
This was the true meaning of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, using Zhou Chenghai as the chicken and beating him severely, simply to warn others not to mess around.
He now wished he could take Lin Xiaotian directly to the old man in the hospital and then disappear as far away as possible, never to appear before Lin Xiaotian again. This was simply a devil, and a devil who enjoyed toying with people.
Lin Xiaotian walked over and directly picked up Zhou Chenghai. With a slight exertion of his hand, he reset the dislocated jawbone.
Zhou Chenghai, in extreme pain, pleaded, "Kill me, give me a quick death. Don't torture me like this anymore."
"I want to die, please, give me a chance to die."
"Then let me go, and I'll immediately smash my head here."
"I know you won't let me off easily, and you're afraid I'll target your Mingyue Pavilion again. But if I smash my head in front of you, you won't have such worries."
Everyone's hearts grew cold.
What kind of suffering had they endured to have such a will to die?
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "From what you're saying, how could I, such a good person, just watch you die?"
"Besides, you haven't compensated for the losses you caused our Mingyue Pavilion. If you die, wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?"
Zhou Chenghai cried out tearfully, "I'll compensate!"
"I'll give you everything you want. My antiques are hidden in..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaotian inserted a silver needle into him and then threw him directly in front of Master Liu.
"Old Liu, take him and go get our compensation."
"I don't know how much he has collected, but this is compensation for our Mingyue Pavilion. Everyone heard it, he begged me himself, it's not like I went looking to rob him."
No one dared to speak. Their gazes became strange.
This was a truly ruthless person.
Master Liu immediately had people carry Zhou Chenghai away. His eyes were filled with admiration as he said, "He can't seem to speak now. How can we make him talk?"
He knew Lin Xiaotian must have other things to attend to, otherwise, he wouldn't have handed Zhou Chenghai over to him.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "When the time comes, you just need to pull out the Ying Zheng, and he'll be able to speak again."
"Remember to bring back all the items. And don't let this old fellow die, I might have some questions for him later."
"Protect the person well, and get the items. You can go now."
Master Liu respectfully led his men away. Naturally, he couldn't ask about the location of Zhou Chenghai's hidden treasures in front of everyone.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and glanced at the crowd, then walked directly towards Li Tian, who was cowering there.
"Let's go. Didn't you say you were going to take me to collect that antique? Now I'll go with you."
"One million yuan is nothing to me. I can come up with it easily."
"If you dare to lie to me, the previous example is right in front of your face."
Li Tian nodded like a pecking chicken.
"I can guarantee it's the Guiguxia Shan Tu, and it's definitely authentic."
Lin Xiaotian revealed a bright smile, "If it really is the Guiguxia Shan Tu, then you've at least managed to save your own life."
"I'm not a stingy person. This information is worth your dog's life."
"I hope you'll come back to make mistakes with me next time."
"But the prerequisite is that you prepare enough valuable compensation. If you have enough treasures to exchange for your life, I welcome you to come back anytime." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Li Tian shook his head like a rattle drum.
What a joke! Was he out of his mind? If he dared to show his face in front of Lin Xiaotian again, he would be an utter fool.
It was just a pity about that truly rare treasure.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
That was the Guiguxia Shan Tu.
