"I'll do it!"
With Liu Siyun setting an example, employees immediately stepped forward.
A person with an upright character has nothing to fear!
What's there to be afraid of if you've never done something before!
They themselves also hoped to clear their names.
One by one, the employees went up and placed their hands under the guillotine.
Soon, all seven employees had tried it.
The guillotine did not fall.
When it was the eighth employee's turn, that person casually stepped back slightly, letting the others go first.
This seemingly insignificant action caught Lin Yu's eye, prompting him to sneer inwardly.
Soon, all the employees had finished trying it.
Only the employee who had deliberately avoided the situation remained.
Now, he can't hide from it anymore.
Lin Yu teased, "What? You weren't afraid when you were doing bad things, but now you're scared?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I do anything wrong! Don't frame an innocent person!" The employee was clearly all bark and no bite, even his words were stuttering.
Liu Siyun's face immediately darkened. "Wang Qi, what are you afraid of? Are you feeling guilty?"
Everyone else looked at Wang Qi, and judging from his reaction, he was clearly a little guilty!
"Let's give it a try!"
Wang Qi knew he couldn't avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
He stretched out a hand, trembling.
However, he dared not place it under the guillotine.
Lin Yu urged playfully, "Wang Qi, hurry up!"
After saying that, he subtly beckoned with his hand!
Click!
The guillotine blade came crashing down!
Wang Qi screamed in fright and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the statue of the patriarch, "Patriarch, I didn't mean to harm the Liu family, I really didn't mean to! Please forgive me!"
He crawled towards Liu Siyun, crying, and wailed, "Miss, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. It was those Japanese who forced me to do it. Please forgive me!"
Wow!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
I never expected it really was Wang Qi who did it!
Liu Siyun was furious and kicked him hard. "You bastard! You've been in our Liu family for ten years. Back then, your family was destitute, and it was Grandpa who kindly took you in. Is this how you repay us?"
Liu Zhongyi was so angry that his old body trembled. He treated Wang Qi no less than Zhang Yu, and regarded him as a son. How come his sons were all traitors!
It breaks my heart!!
Wang Qi kowtowed repeatedly, choking back tears, and said, "Master, Miss, how could I forget your great kindness! It was all those little Japanese bastards who forced me to do this! They kidnapped my wife and children and forced me to switch that set of blue and white porcelain. If I didn't do it, my wife and children would have lost their lives!"
Wang Qi burst into tears, feeling helpless.
Everyone was stunned, wondering if Wang Qi was lying.
Liu Zhongyi frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone else, disperse. Wang Qi, stay!"
Soon, everyone else left.
Only Liu Zhongyi and his grandson, Lin Yu, and Wang Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, remained in the room.
Liu Siyun looked at Liu Zhongyi and said, "Grandpa, should we call the police?"
"No, don't call the police!" Wang Qi hurriedly crawled over and pleaded, "Miss, please don't call the police, otherwise my wife and children will be in danger!"
"Don't call the police yet!" Liu Zhongyi sighed and said to Wang Qi, "Wang Qi, now that the Japanese have achieved their goal, they should release your family, right? You should contact the Japanese quickly to confirm that they have released your family before we call the police!"
Lin Yu nodded. The old man is still kind!
Even though Wang Qi betrayed the Liu family, he was still concerned about the safety of Wang Qi's family.
Wang Qi wiped away his tears and said, "They all contacted me through single-line communication; they didn't have fixed numbers, and I don't know how to contact them!"
bell!
Coincidentally, Wang Qi's phone rang at that moment.
Wang Qi's eyes widened in shock. "It's that number again! It must be the Japanese calling!"
Liu Siyun hurriedly said, "Then answer it quickly, and pretend you don't know anything!"
Wang Qi nodded, quickly answered the phone, and hurriedly said, "Hello, I've done what you asked me to do, and you've received the money. Shouldn't you release my wife and children now?"
A hoarse voice came through the phone, sneering, "You released them? And then you immediately called the police, is that it?"
Everyone looked on in astonishment.
Who exactly is this person?
It's as if they know exactly what they were talking about!
Lin Yu glanced around. Based on his intuition, he felt that they were likely being monitored!
Then the hoarse voice came through again, "Stop looking! I've been listening to Wang Qi's phone, I know everything that just happened!"
Wang Qi's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone. His face flushed red as he roared, "You bastard! What do you want in return for letting my wife and children go?"
"Heh heh! That all depends on the Liu family!"
The voice chuckled maliciously, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shinichi Kameda, and my Chinese name is Zhao Yi. My great-grandfather was the notorious traitor Zhao Hongguang, who was beheaded by your Liu family!"
Everyone was shocked!
really!
Liu Zhongyi guessed correctly; the descendants of the Fish Eye School have indeed returned!
Moreover, it's clear they're up to no good!
Liu Zhongyi snatched the phone and roared angrily, "What exactly do you want! Release Wang Qi's family right now, or we'll call the police immediately!"
"Call the police? Sure!" Shinichi Kameda said sarcastically, "But do you have any evidence? Doesn't the law of your Great Xia require witnesses and physical evidence? Besides, I am a Japanese, and even the police have no right to arrest me arbitrarily! Moreover, I can kill Wang Qi's family at any time!"
