Lin Qiye didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"Are you a kidnapper or a killer? Who asked you to come? How much did he pay? I'll give you double... No, I'll give you triple!"
Li Jianbai is an old hand after all. Even though the scene before him was beyond his understanding, he quickly calmed down and tried to change the situation using the advantages at hand.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
Lin Qiye said calmly, "I'm not interested in your money either..."
He walked forward slowly, squatted down, and stared at Li Jianbai's flashing eyes with his cold eyes.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I came here just to give you a warning." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes dangerously:
“That piece of land in the old city… you can’t afford to touch it.”
"Old town?"
Hearing these three words, Li Jianbai froze in place.
Before this, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, including murder, extortion, kidnapping, and even rape... But he never expected that the other party's target would be the old town?
"Were you sent by your colleagues? Zhao or Hengyu?" Li Jianbai asked doubtfully, then shook his head in denial, "Impossible..."
Not for money, but only for the old city. Li Jianbai couldn't think of any other possibility except for competition for interests among peers. But when he thought about it carefully, although the development value of the old city was good, it was not high enough to make people send killers to warn him.
In the past, the Li Group developed many plots of land with great potential, and nothing happened back then. Why is it that now when it develops an old city area, someone is targeting it?
What's so special about this place?
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pulled out the [Zhanbai] at his waist half an inch. A flash of blade light passed by Li Jianbai's ear, chopping a strand of his hair, along with the two heavy wooden frames below, into pieces!
A chilling chill instantly enveloped Li Jianbai's heart!
“I’ll say it again.” Lin Qiye sheathed [Zhan Bai] and said grimly, “The old city… you can’t move. Do you understand?”
Li Jianbai's back was soaked with cold sweat. He lay stiffly among the wood chips on the ground and nodded repeatedly:
"I know, I know. I won't touch the old town! Absolutely not!"
"Also..." Lin Qiye said slowly, "I heard that you often bribed some hooligans to cause trouble and beat people up at the houses that refused to move..."
“I won’t dare to do it again! I will never dare to do it again!” Li Jianbai immediately understood what Lin Qiye meant and begged for mercy very quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye glanced at him indifferently, turned around calmly, and disappeared into the darkness.
Although the Li Group used violence to force people to move out, and its methods were despicable, they were not unforgivable after all. Lin Qiye's visit this time was mainly to warn him. On the one hand, it could make him give up the old city area. On the other hand, it could also be regarded as a wake-up call for him to prevent other elderly people and children like Old Man Liu from being targeted by evil forces in the future.
Since Li Jianbai has surrendered, his goal has been achieved. If he receives news in the next two days that the Li Group has not given up the old city, he will come again.
At that time, it was not just a warning.
Seeing Lin Qiye's figure disappear like a ghost, Li Jianbai's eyes widened. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He staggered to his feet and breathed a sigh of relief.
“What a hell…”
Li Jianbai cursed, walked up the stairs from the wine cellar, straightened his clothes, and was about to push open the door of the mansion to go in when he heard two voices coming from behind him.
"Eh? Lao Cao, do you think this is Li Jianbai?"
"It seems so. It's the same as the photos on the Internet."
"How did he crawl out from underground?"
"Never mind... do it!"
Li Jianbai: ???
Before Li Jianbai could react, he felt a chill on the back of his head and then lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was hanging upside down on an old crooked tree.
Li Jianbai rubbed the back of his head, grimacing in pain. He looked at the upside-down world in front of him, and his gaze finally fell on the two masked figures under the tree.
One is Zhu Bajie and the other is Sha Wujing.
Li Jianbai's eyes gradually widened.
Damn it... No way?!
"Li Jianbai, right? I heard you're pretty awesome?" The figure wearing the Zhu Bajie mask sneered, "You beat up the elderly and bullied the children... You're so old, you've lived like a dog, right?"
The figure wearing the mask of Monk Sha kicked Li Jianbai in the abdomen, causing him to swing back and forth like a swing on a tree branch. Li Jianbai groaned and covered his stomach in pain.
"Good man...good man! I know I was wrong and I have already admitted it! Please let me go..." Li Jianbai begged for mercy again.
After Lin Qiye left, Li Jianbai thought the matter was over, but he never expected that this was actually a gang crime? !
And there's a warning of beating in a round-the-clock manner?
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing... I would never believe that they are not from the same group even if you beat me to death.
“You know you’re wrong? So quickly?” Sha Wujing narrowed his eyes slightly, “Why wouldn’t I believe it…”
He kicked Li Jianbai again, sending him flying and his screams were drowned out by the heavy rain.
"It's almost time, Lao Cao. If we go back too late, Qiye will find us." Zhu Bajie said in a low voice through the mask.
Sha Wujing nodded, grabbed the unconscious Li Jianbai, stabilized him in a vertical position, and said lightly:
"I'm warning you... don't touch the Old Town. If you send someone there again, I'll chop off one of your hands... understand?"
"I understand... I understand... Ugh! I understand..."
Sha Wujing casually cut the rope above Li Jianbai, and the latter fell down like a sandbag, hitting the ground hard with his face.
By the time Li Jianbai struggled to get up from the ground, the two figures had disappeared without a trace.
"Beasts... these beasts..." Li Jianbai wanted to reach out and wipe the rain off his face, but found that his nose had collapsed. His mouth twitched in pain. "There is really no law, there is really no justice!!"
"Call the police! I'm calling the police!"
"Do you really think that I, Li Jianbai, am a persimmon to be squeezed?"
Li Jianbai walked downstairs of the mansion while cursing, and tremblingly took out his cell phone from his arms and dialed a number:
"Hello? Director Han? I'm Li Jianbai, I want to tell you something..."
“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”
"Hello? Hello? No signal?"
Li Jianbai frowned slightly.
Crack! !
Just as he was shaking his phone in confusion, the lights in the entire manor suddenly went out, and then the shadow of a ghost in white clothes emerged from the phone screen.
A creepy and cold female voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Li Jianbai...are you looking for death?"
"The old town is something you can get your hands on?"
