As his thoughts were in a mess, he suddenly felt a dark shadow falling on his head, blocking out the scorching sun. Big beads of sweat eroded his already swollen eyes. Although he couldn't open his eyes, he still knew who the person was.
"Son, I know I've done nothing wrong to you. I rescued you two from a dog cage when you were little, raised you two, and treated you with dignity. But what about you? You colluded with outsiders and wanted to kill me. You truly are—a heartless and ruthless person."
Su Junchi squatted beside the dungeon, looking down at the dying person hanging inside.
Xue Peng sneered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, or perhaps he was so numb that he couldn't make any expression.
"We are father and son. You are unkind, but I cannot be unjust. At this moment, I still can't bear to take your life. After thinking it over, I will give you another chance.
As long as you tell me who is behind the conspiracy, I will let you go, give you some money, let you leave Southeast Asia, and tell you who killed Xiao Fei. How about it?"
When Xue Peng heard him say "brother", his bruised and swollen face showed some changes. He looked up in disbelief, and his eyes, which could barely open, were full of hatred.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't kill Xiaofei. I loved him so much and wanted to train him to be my successor. But I didn't expect that he would be useless. He got his head smashed in when he just arrived in northern Myanmar.
All these years, you've hated me for this, and you've really wronged me. It was he who insisted on coming to northern Myanmar to make a fortune. While I admired his ambition, I also felt the timing wasn't right. He was still young, after all. But he insisted on coming. Alas, I've always been too indulgent with you kids, and it's ultimately your fault."
Su Junchi seemed really sad and sighed deeply.
There was silence all around for half a minute.
"Xue Peng, I'm leaving soon. This is the last chance I have left for you. You must cherish it." Su Junchi advised again earnestly.
The hearts of the people in the dungeon sank suddenly. He was leaving?
Did he find Nanxi?
According to his understanding of Su Junchi, once he decides on what he wants, he will not give up until he has done so.
He could no longer stay in northern Myanmar. Leaving had been his plan from the beginning, but the appearance of Nanxi had disrupted his plan. Now that he suddenly said he wanted to leave, he must have been sure that he could take Nanxi with him.
"How should I know whether what you said is true or not? Xiao Fei's death has been going on for so many years, and there is still no result. You say you know the murderer now, do you think I'm a fool?"
Su Junchi raised his eyebrows. "You have the capital to not believe it, right? But just because you are not even worthy of sitting at the negotiation table, I don't bother to tell you a lie.
You should understand my temper. I only do business based on equal exchange. Today, even if you don't tell me who the person you are conspiring with is, I don't really care. The reason I asked you is to give you a chance to survive and to satisfy my curiosity, that's all.
Do you think that I am still alive today just by luck?"
Xue Peng's Adam's apple moved violently when he heard this. Indeed, Su Junchi's sensitivity was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even now, he still couldn't figure out how he was exposed.
But for some reason, he felt that the man named Cha Mu was more dangerous than Su Junchi. After weighing the pros and cons, he still believed in his intuition and could not reveal Cha Mu's name.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Junchi's patience slowly ran out, and finally his black eyes narrowed, "Hey, I gave you a chance, but it's useless..."
"etc……"
Just as he was about to enter the house, a muffled voice came from the dungeon, "I want to know first, who killed Xiao Fei."
Su Junchi paused while twisting his Buddhist beads, then turned back, looking at him for a long time without saying a word, and finally sighed.
"Well, I didn't intend to hide it from you. I didn't tell you before because that person was too powerful. Even I didn't dare to provoke him easily, for fear that you would die. Now that you have rebelled, there is no need for me to consider you."
The tall man raised his eyebrows after he finished speaking, "The man who killed Xiao Fei, come to think of it, you know him."
Xue Peng's hands, which were hanging, slowly clenched into fists.
"That's Baru."
The four words, each pronounced with emphasis, hit the man's heart like a heavy punch.
Xue Peng suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes trembling with fear. He looked deeply into his calm face, as if he wanted to see into the depths of his soul through that cold face, but he still had nothing and just stared back at him quietly.
After a long time, so long that Su Junchi thought he was frightened to death, the people inside suddenly burst into laughter again.
"Su Junchi, I used to think you were very experienced and thoughtful, but I didn't expect you to become less and less effective as you get older, huh? You're even using such an obvious and clumsy tactic as borrowing a knife to kill someone, and now you're using it?"
Su Junchi didn't seem to be much affected by his words. He still stood tall, dressed in plain clothes, like an elegant gentleman, allowing him to look at his face and body.
As Xue Peng was laughing, his face suddenly turned cold, and then there was a period of silence. Finally, his whole body began to tremble slowly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The person standing above just shook his head in disappointment, said nothing, and turned into the room.
Hoarse, sobbing roars came from the dungeon, and no one knew whether the people inside were crying or laughing.
"Are you all ready?" After entering the room, Su Junchi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked his subordinates around him.
