702: What? My wife is in danger! Lin Xuan was shocked and angry!

"Please, spare me! I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong..."

"I'll give you ten million, no... one hundred million!"

"With that money, you can marry as many wives as you want, have as many children as you want..."

"..."

At this moment, the Doctor's face had turned deathly pale, and the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He knew that with Li Jie's intense hatred, wanting to flay him alive... if he fell into Li Jie's hands today, he would likely not escape his doom.

But the instinct for survival still forced him to beg for mercy desperately.

Li Jie, however, sneered relentlessly, his eyes filled with disdain and fury... "Spare you? Do you think that's possible?"

"When you hung up the phone back then, did you ever think of sparing those innocent children? Did you ever think of sparing my wife and daughter?"

"..."

Li Jie slowly raised the whip in his hand, his voice as cold as a knife:

"Today, I will make you truly experience what it means to wish for death."

"..."

Before he finished speaking, the whip had already lashed down fiercely on the Doctor's body.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the Doctor's body trembled violently.

"Ahhh—!!!"

"..."

There was not a trace of pity in Li Jie's eyes, only endless hatred and rage.

He wildly swung the whip in his hand, like the scythe of the grim reaper, lashing the Doctor's body again and again.

Each strike carried five years of his pent-up pain and anger.

Crack!!!

"This lash is for my wife!!!"

Crack!!!

"This lash is for my young daughter!!!"

Crack!!!

"This lash is for those innocent children!!!"

Crack!!!

"This lash is for myself!!!"

Crack! Crack!! Crack!!!

...As time passed.

The Doctor's screams echoed continuously in the dimly lit room.

His body was already a bloody mess from the lashing, but Li Jie still showed no sign of stopping... "Please... spare me..."

"Otherwise, just kill me..."

"..."

The Doctor's voice began to weaken, his eyes filled with despair.

Li Jie sneered at his words, his voice cold:

"Spare you? Did you spare my wife and daughter back then?"

"As for killing you? That would be too easy for you..."

"I want you to slowly experience what it means to wish for death!!!"

"..."

With that, Li Jie threw down the whip.

He then picked up a sharp dagger from a nearby table, slowly walked to the Doctor, his eyes gleaming with the pleasure of avenging a great wrong... "Next, let's play something more interesting..."

"No! Don't! Please! Nooooo w(ﾟДﾟ)w!"

"..."

Seeing the cold glint of the dagger in Li Jie's hand, sharpened and poised to stab him, the Doctor was scared out of his wits, his heart feeling like it would leap out of his throat.

In this moment of life and death, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he strained his voice, shouting desperately:

"Wait! I have important information to report, it's about your boss Lin Xuan!!!"

"He's in danger! Someone is plotting against the Su Family!!!"

"..."

Li Jie's movements suddenly froze, the dagger in his hand suspended in mid-air, just a hair's breadth from piercing the Doctor's body.

His expression was uncertain, the killing intent in his eyes hadn't dissipated, but a hint of suspicion had been added... "What did you say? Someone is plotting against the Boss? You'd better not be playing tricks!"

"Explain it clearly to me? What exactly is the situation?"

"..."

Li Jie gritted his teeth, asking word by word, his voice sounding as if squeezed through his teeth.

"It's true, absolutely true!"

Seeing Li Jie stop, the Doctor nodded frantically, as if clutching at a life-saving straw, speaking at an extremely fast pace,

"In our circle, there are our own channels for information..."

"I also learned by chance that the killer is from the Dark Shadow Alliance."

"But the specific details, I must see your boss in person... before I can reveal them..."

"..."

At this moment, the Doctor was secretly calculating in his mind.

To survive Li Jie's hands, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven; he could only place his hopes on Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, he usually liked to pay attention to information about his peers.

Now, he finally had a bargaining chip.

This information was his only chance to survive, and he had to make full use of it!!!

...On the other side.

Li Jie's face was cold, his heart full of suspicion.

He knew the Doctor's cunning too well and seriously doubted the truthfulness of his words.

But the three words "Dark Shadow Alliance" struck him like a heavy hammer, forcing him to take it seriously.

He had heard of the Dark Shadow Alliance.

It was a Southeast Asian assassin organization composed of desperadoes.

It was said that there were many skilled and vicious martial artists among them, and even some powerful espers... As the saying goes:

Better safe than sorry.

His boss had shown him immense kindness; for the sake of his boss's safety, no matter how deep his hatred, he could only temporarily put it aside.

After weighing it for a moment, Li Jie finally put down the dagger in his hand... "You'd better not be playing tricks."

"If I find out you're lying to me, I'll make you wish you were dead."

"..."

The Doctor nodded repeatedly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, along with the lingering fear of having escaped death... "I wouldn't dare! Everything I said is true!"

"This concerns Young Master Lin's safety, how could I dare to lie?"

"I promise, everything I say is true! If you let me go, I can even help you deal with the Dark Shadow Alliance!!!"

"..."

Li Jie snorted coldly, put away the dagger, and ignored the other party's sweet talk.

Instead, he quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Lin Xuan's number...
