"What? Are you scared?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked as he walked up to Su Youlong.
When people are not facing death, many may act as if they are not afraid of death, but once they are actually facing death, very few people can help but be afraid.
Nobody wants to die, and everyone wants to see the world, especially wealthy people like Su Youlong.
So, after experiencing that excruciating pain in his abdomen, Su Youlong became frightened. Initially, he thought it was because Liu Xiaoyuan had kicked him, but now he finally realized something was wrong; there must be another reason why his stomach was hurting for no apparent reason.
"What exactly did you do to me?" Su Youlong asked with a pained expression.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Actually, I didn't do anything to you. I just injected a little bit of internal energy into your stomach. This internal energy can damage your internal organs. Think about it, if your internal organs are injured, do you think a person can still live?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, this Transformation Qi won't kill you immediately. Instead, it will slowly torment you, letting you enjoy the pleasure of a life worse than death. Once you've had your fill of it, it will naturally take your life!"
Upon hearing this, Su Youlong broke out in a cold sweat, looking at Liu Xiaoyuan and saying, "You're not human, you're a devil, you're a devil!"
Liu Xiaoyuan, however, seemed indifferent, shrugged and said, "Say what you will, you won't live for more than a few days anyway."
Su Youlong's real fear was that when he truly faced death, he no longer possessed the same heroic spirit he had displayed earlier.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, please save me..." Su Youlong endured the pain and crawled to Liu Xiaoyuan's side, about to hug Liu Xiaoyuan's legs with both hands.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want Su Youlong's snake-blood-stained hands to get his pants dirty, so he quickly dodged away.
"Don't hit me again! Stay where you are and don't move!" Liu Xiaoyuan shouted, pointing at Su Youlong.
At this moment, Su Youlong lay motionless on the spot like an obedient dog, enduring the pain in his abdomen.
"It's not impossible for you to live, but you have to honestly answer the question I just asked you," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Su Youlong immediately said, "This powder was given to me by the Long family of Miao Village. The Long family told me that if I encounter danger, I only need to scatter this white powder to turn the danger into safety. They also told me that only their Long family has this antidote, and they gave me the antidote beforehand, so I don't have to worry about ingesting the poison from this powder."
As expected, my guess was correct; this powder really was from the Long family of Miao village.
"Then let me ask you again, which member of the Long family came to the capital to help you deal with Lin Xin?" Liu Xiaoyuan continued.
Su Youlong said, "It was the young master of the Long family who personally brought an elder of the Long family."
"So when do you plan to make your move?"
"We plan to make our move tomorrow morning. We'll invite Lin Xin to my room and then poison his tea," Su Youlong said honestly.
This was indeed a very vicious plan. If Lin Xin hadn't accidentally discovered this secret, he would have drunk Su Youlong's tea without any precautions the next day and wouldn't even know how he died.
"Then why didn't you use poison earlier, but instead had the Long family send someone to assassinate you?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, puzzled.
If Su Youlong had used this move earlier, Lin Xin would probably have died eight hundred times over.
Su Youlong said with a pained expression, "If I had used this tactic earlier, the police would definitely have traced it back to me if they followed the trail. Moreover, using an assassination attempt would have caused Yuanda Group's stock to plummet, allowing me to take the opportunity to acquire some of Yuanda Group's shares..."
"I'll ask you again, does the young master of the Long family have the antidote?"
Su Youlong shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. You'll have to ask the young master of the Long family!"
Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to slap Su Youlong. If he knew where the young master of the Long family was, he wouldn't need to ask him. But when he saw the snake blood on Su Youlong's face, Liu Xiaoyuan decided not to dirty his hands.
"I will bring Lin Xin here tomorrow, and you will also bring the young master of the Long family. Remember, don't try anything funny, or no one in this world can save you!" Liu Xiaoyuan warned.
"Don't expect the Long family to save you. I'm not trying to scare you, but there are probably very few people in this world who can actually keep your life!"
Su Youlong nodded hurriedly in agreement. With his life in someone else's hands, how could Su Youlong dare to be reckless?
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan left Su Youlong's room.
The reason Liu Xiaoyuan didn't let Su Youlong lure the Long family over tonight is because Liu Xiaoyuan had already summoned three mid-level powerful figures today.
Su Youlong mentioned that an elder from the Long family had accompanied the young master this time. This elder was likely a master of internal energy transformation.
Liu Xiaoyuan's current strength is only at the level of a master of internal energy. If he encounters a master of external energy, he probably won't have much of a chance, and it could even be dangerous.
Just to be on the safe side, let's wait until after today. Anyway, I've been controlling the toxins in Lin Xin's body with medication, so even if it takes a few days, it won't be a problem.
Back at the hotel, Tang Wu had already returned with the medicine. Liu Xiaoyuan immediately went to the hotel and found a clay pot to brew the medicine for Lin Xin in the kitchen.
After taking the medicine, Liu Xiaoyuan told Lin Xin about his plans for tomorrow.
"Uncle Lin, we might have to put you on a risk tomorrow," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Lin Xin said, "As long as Xiao Yuan is here, don't be afraid, I believe in you!"
Seeing Lin Xin's trust in him, Liu Xiaoyuan secretly vowed to ensure Lin Xin's safety tomorrow and not let anything happen to him.
The next day, Liu Xiaoyuan went to Lin Xin's room after getting up. Because Lin Xin had inhaled very little powder and had medication to suppress the toxins, Lin Xin looked no different from usual.
However, judging from the expression on Lin Xin's face, there was still a faint trace of worry.
Indeed, it's impossible not to worry if such a thing happens to anyone, because you never know when you might lose your life.
To avoid putting too much pressure on Liu Xiaoyuan, Lin Xin pretended to be nonchalant.
After having breakfast, I checked the time and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
"Uncle Lin, shall we set off?" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin looked up at the ceiling, then nodded vigorously and said, "Let's go!"
It was clear that Lin Xin had considered those two words carefully before uttering them. This trip was a matter of life and death for him.
If everything goes smoothly, then needless to say, Lin Xin will be safe and sound.
If anything unexpected were to happen, the consequence could very well be that Lin Xin loses his life. To say that Lin Xin wasn't careful about something that concerned his life would be absolutely untrue!
