"Brother, brother, brother!" Little Fish's face turned pale with fright. He flailed his arms wildly, desperately trying to grab the bodyguard's arm. "Please! I really can't tell!"
"Are you sure?" The bodyguard's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, he immediately started the countdown: "Three."
Little Fish kept his eyes tightly shut, his eyelids trembling uncontrollably, and his legs began to weaken. He choked back tears and pleaded, "Big brother, big brother, please, don't make things difficult for me! I really don't want to die!"
"Two." The bodyguard didn't waste any more words and continued counting down.
"You've got guts, huh! Maybe you'll be a little fish in your next life!" The bodyguard finished speaking and immediately counted down, "One!"
Just as the bodyguard was about to let go with a cold smile, Little Fish suddenly burst into tears, shouting, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll talk! Please, don't throw me down!"
"If you had said so earlier, none of this would have happened!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lei went up to the balcony, leaned against the threshold, and lit a cigarette.
After saying that, he waved to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard immediately pulled Xiaoyuzai back and threw him onto the balcony floor. Xiaoyuzai's arm hit the balcony railing, and he cried out in pain, unable to get up for a long time.
"Hey, if you're going to play dead, I'm going to keep going!" The bodyguard kicked him rudely and said coldly, "The Rong family has treated you well, how dare you do such a thing! Speak!"
Little Fish clutched his stomach, tears streaming down his face. He rubbed his aching arm, leaned against the railing, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll tell you! Someone gave me 500,000 yuan to drug Gu Qingyan's food."
"Finally willing to talk?! Who gave it to you? How did they give it to you?" Xiao Lei picked up a stick from the side, lifted Xiao Yuzai's chin, and asked with a sneer.
"This..." Little Fish hesitated, then looked at Xiao Lei and exclaimed, "Cousin, if I tell you, will you not call the police to arrest me?!"
"Trying to bargain now?! How interesting!" Xiao Lei threw away his cigarette butt, picked up his stick, and slammed it down on Xiao Yuzai's shoulder. "We haven't even settled accounts with you yet! How dare you make demands of us here?!"
After saying that, Xiao Lei handed the stick to the bodyguard standing to the side and said coldly, "Then give this shameless bastard a good beating! I've seen plenty of traitors! I never expected it to be my distant cousin this time! It really breaks my heart!"
"Cousin! Cousin!" Xiao Yuzai panicked and hurriedly tried to stand up to grab Xiao Lei's trouser leg, but Xiao Lei just gave him a cold look.
Seeing Xiao Lei's reaction, the bodyguard didn't hold back and immediately raised his hand to hit Xiao Yuzai with a stick, striking Xiao Yuzai's arm hard.
Within seconds, Xiao Lei heard Xiao Yu Zai's groans.
"Cousin! Cousin! Please! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Little Fish couldn't take the beating and started shouting loudly.
Xiao Lei then turned around and walked towards the balcony.
"Speak," Xiao Lei said coldly, looking at the little fish on the ground.
The little fish cried and wailed, "Look at my hand! How long will it take to heal?!"
"Serves you right!" Xiao Lei sneered. "Stop playing the victim here! Now get out of here!"
"Cousin!" Little Fish knelt down and shuffled forward. "Cousin, please save me! Please beg Brother Wei for mercy! I was wrong!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Xiao Lei glared at him, then said to the bodyguard, "If you keep talking nonsense, beat me until I do!"
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Little Fish had no choice but to kneel down, bend over, and begin to speak.
"It was one night that I sneaked out to drink."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lei's face immediately fell, and he said with a sneer, "Didn't I warn you that you are absolutely not allowed to go out during your shift?"
"Cousin, I feel like I'm in prison here every day!" Little Fish shrank back a little guiltily. "I'm suffering so much! I'm a young man, I definitely need some nightlife! Everyone needs to go out for a drink and relax!"
"You're quite daring!" Xiao Lei sneered. "Continue."
"So, I just went to a bar and drank with a few girls, and before I knew it, I was drunk!" Little Fish shrank back on the ground in fear. "And then, cousin, you know, when I'm drunk, I tend to talk nonsense."
"Hehe, what did you say?" Xiao Lei squatted down, looking at Xiao Yuzai with an icy expression, his tone full of threat.
"I just bragged a little." Little Fish leaned back, but there was a railing behind him, and he had nowhere to retreat. "Cousin, I just bragged to the girls I was drinking with that I had imprisoned the son of the richest man in Nancheng."
“But everyone thought I was drunk and talking nonsense, and nobody paid any attention to me!” Little Fish said nervously. “I was not convinced, so I shouted out Gu Qingyan’s name.”
"And then?!" Xiao Lei narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing within them.
“But they don’t understand, they’re ignorant! None of them know who Gu Qingyan is,” Xiaoyu said awkwardly. “But a man at the next table listened to me, and when I went to the toilet later, he blocked me at the toilet door and asked me some questions about Gu Qingyan.”
Xiao Lei kept a cold expression on his face and gestured for him to continue.
"Then, he offered me 500,000 yuan, all I had to do was put some drugs in Gu Qingyan's food."
"Just some medicine, that's all?" Xiao Lei narrowed his eyes, his face extremely pale.
"Cousin! You have to believe me! I specifically asked him beforehand, and he said it wouldn't cause any major harm to the body, it would just make you feel drowsy and unconscious!" Seeing Xiao Lei like this, Xiao Yu Zai also started to get scared. "Cousin, did I say something wrong?"
"You're really kind!" Xiao Lei stood up and looked down at him. "When did you get the medicine?"
"That very night," Little Fish chuckled sheepishly. "Cousin, you know, I've never seen 500,000 yuan in cash before! I waited for him for two hours, and he drove off somewhere, then came back with 500,000 yuan in cash for me, along with the medication. He said, he said..."
As he spoke, Little Fish lowered his head timidly, not daring to continue.
"Go on!" Xiao Lei turned his head and gestured, and the bodyguard immediately raised his stick.
"No! Cousin, no!" Little Fish was so frightened his face turned pale. "He said if it works out, he'll give me another 500,000 as a reward!"
