"You...you hit me..."
"Hitting you is too lenient. If you don't behave, believe me, I'll cripple you."
"What...what do you want me to say? What accomplices? I really don't know anything!" Xia Quan'an insisted. He'd be a fool to admit it now. As long as he denied it to the death, what could they do to him? He was, after all, the chairman of Xia's Enterprise. He didn't believe a mere bodyguard would dare to hurt him!
Xiao Fang chuckled, not at all surprised that Xia Quan was pretending to be stupid. His square face was cold as he said viciously, "Stop pretending. You hired assassins to infiltrate Maple Riverside and assassinate our boss. Those two assassins are already under our control and have confessed that you hired them. However, our boss believes you must have other accomplices, so he sent us to question you. If you tell the truth, you might still save your life; if you don't..."
Xiao Fang didn't continue speaking, but the meaning was already quite clear.
Xia Quan'an shuddered, spitting out another mouthful of blood. He mustered his courage and said, "This, how is this possible? An assassin? How could I... how could I possibly bribe an assassin to infiltrate Fengqing Waterfront? Even if you gave me ten more lives, I wouldn't dare. There must be... something wrong..."
"A mistake?" Xiao Fang said unhappily, punching Xia Quan'an on the head again. "Are you saying I'm wronging you?!"
Xia Quan'an cried out "Ouch!" His eyes were seeing stars, and his lips began to tremble.
Qingyun glanced at Xiao Fang, wondering if he might accidentally kill him due to his reckless actions. He then spoke up to stop him and tossed him a cell phone.
Xiao Fang took the phone and pulled up a photo. In the photo, two men were beaten black and blue, so badly that even his mother couldn't recognize them.
"Look at these two, familiar, right? These are the two assassins. You think I won't take your life, so you're planning to deny it to the death? I see you won't admit it until you're faced with death, so I'll grant your wish. Before you die, I'll show you how someone who dares to mess with our boss dies."
As he spoke, Xiao Fang swiped a few times on his phone screen and answered the video call. The light on the other end of the line was dim, but he could hear two men trembling and groaning in pain.
Xiao Fang glanced at Qingyun, who nodded at him and then continued to lie back and watch the show.
"Do it," Xiao Fang coldly ordered. Suddenly, a man in black appeared on the other end of the video, raising a dagger and repeatedly stabbing at the two men. Painful screams and wails echoed from the phone, and soon the two men were covered in bright red blood.
Xia Quan'an watched in horror, his scalp tingling. Xiao Fang, who was standing in front of him, had put down his phone at some point and was now brandishing a dagger in front of Xia Quan'an's face.
"Old Xia, tell me where to stab first, I'll listen to you."
Xia Quan'an was terrified by the video he had just seen. He suspected that this person was capable of anything. But if he told anyone, he would still be dead anyway.
"say!"
Xiao Fang roared, making Xia Quan'an tremble all over. "I...I...what can I say? I really don't know, it was Ji Nian...it was that old man Ji Nian who did it. He said he wanted all the Mu family's assets, so he paid an assassin to kill Mu Nanxun! It was all his doing, it has nothing to do with me..."
