Chapter 537 Who Gave the Order?
"Slap!" A crisp and loud slap rang out in the room. Zhao Haoxuan's slap was both hard and accurate.
Liu Xiaogui was sent flying like a tattered sack after being hit.
It slammed against the wall with a dull thud, then slid down limply and collapsed to the ground.
"Ouch—it hurts so much! Hero, spare me...spare me! Grandpa! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!..."
Liu Xiaogui felt half of his face go numb, and his ears were ringing.
He struggled to get up, but his body felt like it was falling apart and he couldn't muster any strength.
Fear coiled around his heart like a cold snake.
He started yelling at the top of his lungs: "Help! Someone help me! Murder!"
The sound was like a pig being slaughtered, both shrill and sharp.
If Zhao Haoxuan hadn't been prepared and set up a soundproof barrier in advance, the entire building would probably have been alerted.
"Shut up!" Wang Xinyao shouted sharply, her eyes as cold as ice.
"If you howl again, I'll cripple you and make you crawl like a worm!"
Liu Xiaogui's howl was instantly stuck in his throat.
He looked at Wang Xinyao in horror, then stole a glance at Zhao Haoxuan, whose face was gloomy beside him. He trembled all over and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, not daring to even breathe.
His heart pounded with anxiety. Where did these two men come from?
The woman looked so pretty, how could she be so ruthless?
And that guy, he can slap someone away with one slap, that's definitely not the strength of an ordinary person!
Could it be... could it really be a ghost?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even felt a warm, pungent smell coming from his crotch.
When Luo Xiaoyu saw this scene, her heart pounded. She felt both relieved and a little scared.
She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and as she looked at their calm and powerful demeanor, and their methods that were clearly not those of ordinary people, a strong sense of security welled up in her heart.
—The Li family is saved!
Wang Xinyao ignored Liu Xiaogui's cowardly appearance and asked again in a cold voice.
"I'll ask one last time, where are Li Bin and his family being held? How are they now?"
Liu Xiaogui's eyes flickered, and he steeled himself, gritting his teeth and remaining silent.
He adopted a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude, still harboring a sliver of hope: as long as I don't say anything, they won't dare do anything to me, until my brother comes back…
"Not going to talk? Very well." Wang Xinyao's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes sharp as knives.
She casually raised her hand and gently patted the heavy leather sofa next to her from a distance.
With a soft "poof," the sturdy sofa, as if crushed by an invisible force, instantly turned into a pile of dust, which scattered all over the ground.
This scene completely stunned Liu Xiaogui!
His eyes were wide open, almost popping out, and he froze, forgetting even to breathe.
Is this...is this even human?
A single slap from a distance, and the sofa turns to dust?
He felt that the worldview he had built up over the past twenty years had completely collapsed at this moment!
This is definitely a monster! No… it’s a vengeful ghost, a vengeful ghost that’s come to claim his life!
He was so terrified that his last shred of hope was instantly crushed into dust.
Luo Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp.
She knew Sister Wang was capable, but she never imagined she was this capable!
This is a scene straight out of a martial arts novel!
Even without martial arts, one cannot reach this level of strength.
It should be at the level of the cultivation world.
In her eyes, besides gratitude, there was even more awe and admiration as she looked at Wang Xinyao.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Spare me, heroine! Spare me, ancestors!"
Liu Xiaogui completely broke down; his psychological defenses were utterly shattered.
He kowtowed frantically, like pounding garlic, his forehead hitting the floor with a loud thud.
"They...they've all been sent to Kyoto, and they're no longer in Nanding Province!"
"What? Kyoto?"
Luo Xiaoyu gasped in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
"You're lying! They were clearly detained in the city detention center before! I saw Li Bin inside the detention center just the day before yesterday!" She was agitated, her voice trembling.
Liu Xiaogui raised his head and glared fiercely at Luo Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with resentment.
It's all that stinky woman's fault!
If it weren't for her attracting those two evil stars, I wouldn't have ended up in this predicament!
He swore a vicious oath in his heart: If I can get out of here alive today, I will definitely kill you later!
"You said it yourself, it was the day before yesterday!" Liu Xiaogui replied irritably.
But when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Haoxuan's cold gaze, he immediately cowered and shrank back, no longer daring to glare at Luo Xiaoyu.
Wang Xinyao frowned, her doubts deepening.
Even death row inmates are, according to regulations, detained in their original detention center before their final execution.
"Speak! Why were you suddenly transferred to Kyoto? Who gave the order?"
She felt a vague unease; this matter likely involved far more than she suspected.
Liu Xiaogui dared not hide it any longer and answered with a mournful face, "It was...it was my brother who said it. He said...that important person specifically asked for their whole family."
"Your brother? What's his name?" Wang Xinyao's face was ashen.
Liu Xiaogui trembled: "His...his name is Liu Xiaojun."
"Liu Xiaojun?" Wang Xinyao's voice suddenly turned icy cold.
The name was like a thorn, instantly piercing her heart.
That man who once vowed to wait for her to come back and marry him, but then turned around and married another classmate for the sake of his future!
She asked herself if she had ever done anything to wrong him.
Even in everyone's eyes, she was already a "sacrificed" person.
Why would he be so cruel as to harm her family?
An uncontrollable rage surged within her.
"It's...it's him, he's my brother." Liu Xiaogui sensed the change in Wang Xinyao's tone and became even more flustered.
Wang Xinyao forced herself to calm down and continued to press, "Your brother was just a municipal bureau chief before, how come he's climbed to the provincial level in just a few years? That's quite a fast promotion."
Hearing that Wang Xinyao seemed hesitant and apprehensive about his brother's promotion, Liu Xiaogui became a little bolder.
He said in a tone that was both tinged with a sense of luck and a threat, "Heh... Now you're scared? If you're scared, then hurry up and let me go!"
My brother is a completely different person now; he's hooked up with a very influential figure in Kyoto!
"Let me go now, and I'll plead with my brother. Maybe he'll spare your lives..."
"Snap!" Another crisp sound!
Zhao Haoxuan delivered a powerful palm strike from mid-air, causing Liu Xiaogui's other side of his face to swell up as well, and several teeth mixed with blood were spat out of his mouth.
"Answer whatever you're asked! If you dare utter another word of nonsense, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Liu Xiaogui was beaten until he saw stars and became completely obedient. He covered his rapidly swollen face and cried out incoherently.
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't dare to say another word! My brother... my brother got promoted so quickly because he got close to the Liu family in Kyoto."
"The Liu family? Which Liu family? What's that important person's name?" Wang Xinyao's heart sank, and she pressed for an answer.
"I...I only know that the big shot is also surnamed Liu, but I really don't know his name..." Liu Xiaogui said with a sob in his voice.
Wang Xinyao's eyes were sharp as an eagle's as she stared intently at him: "Where is your brother right now?"
