Chapter 242: Ten Seconds
Listening to Ke Ting's report, Gui Xiaoxu got out of bed and walked into the side room, which had been turned into his walk-in closet.
As Ke Ting waited in the main room, Gui Xiaoxu changed his clothes and asked, "Have they confessed?"
"Not yet. They all said they didn't know about this matter," Ke Ting replied.
Coming out wearing a black suit, Gui Xiaoxu sneered. "Stubborn. I want to see if they can still keep their mouths shut later."
After saying that, Gui Xiaoxu left the mansion, followed by Ke Ting. Before long, more than a dozen luxurious black cars drove out of the main gate.
Two hours later, the black cars drove into an abandoned factory site. Before long, they parked in front of a factory located far away from the entrance.
Moments later, one of the bodyguards opened the black car door in the middle of the convoy.
Getting out of the black car, Gui Xiaoxu looked toward the abandoned factory and faintly heard screams from time to time.
Standing beside him, Ke Ting said, "Boss, they are inside."
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu calmly walked toward the factory with car lights illuminating the road.
Creak~!
When the bodyguards opened the metal door, the people inside fell silent and turned to look at the door.
Lying on the ground covered in wounds and blood, a group of men looked up. As the bright light from outside shone into the dark factory, they squinted their eyes to see who was coming.
The moment they saw Gui Xiaoxu approaching with Ke Ting and the bodyguards, one of the men curled up and began to beg for mercy.
"Elder Cousin Brother, I don't know anything! Please! Let me go!"
Hearing this, the others glared at the man.
Lying beside him, a middle-aged man pushed his wounded body up and spat on the ground. "Gui Xiaoxu! How dare you kidnap us?! I'm your eldest paternal uncle! I order you to let me go right now!"
After shouting, the middle-aged man coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Cough! Cough!"
While he was trying to catch his breath, one of the bodyguards placed a chair in front of them.
Sitting down, Gui Xiaoxu leaned back and lazily lit a cigarette.
Seeing this, Xuan Wu stepped forward and kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach.
"Ugh!" Curled up in pain, the middle-aged man lost his ability to speak.
When silence fell, Gui Xiaoxu puffed out a ring of smoke and lazily asked, "Who did it?"
The moment his question fell, nobody dared to look at him or make a sound.
Seeing this, Gui Xiaoxu opened his palm. A second later, Ke Ting handed him a pair of black gloves.
Standing up, Gui Xiaoxu tossed the remaining cigarette to the ground. Pressing it out with his sole, he put on the black gloves.
Clenching his fists as if testing their fit, Gui Xiaoxu coldly said, "Don't want to answer? Very well. Since none of you cherish the opportunity I gave you, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The moment his words fell, Gui Xiaoxu grabbed the middle-aged man's collar and punched him in the face.
After a few punches, the man's face was already swollen.
Looking at his pig-like face, Gui Xiaoxu threw him to the ground without expression.
Thud!
Taking the handkerchief handed to him by Ke Ting, Gui Xiaoxu asked while wiping the blood off his cheek, "Who's next?"
As soon as the men heard this, they shivered and tried to shrink back.
Seeing that nobody dared to move or make a sound, Gui Xiaoxu coldly scanned the group. A few seconds later, he walked over to a young man.
When the young man saw Gui Xiaoxu's boots in front of him, he didn't dare look up and kept his eyes lowered.
Squatting in front of him, Gui Xiaoxu said, "Younger Cousin Brother, why don't you tell me who did it?"
Asked by him, the young man said, "Elder Cousin Brother, please spare me. I really didn't know."
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu chuckled. Grabbing his chin, Gui Xiaoxu forced him to look up.
Leaning close, Gui Xiaoxu whispered in his ear, "Young Cousin Brother, you know what to do if you want to walk out of this place alive."
Hearing this, the young man's heart sank as chills ran down his spine. Breathing shakily, he swallowed his fear. After a few seconds of silence, he tremblingly opened his lips.
Seeing this, his father hoarsely shouted, "Don't you dare speak!"
The moment the young man heard this, he froze. Returning to his senses, the young man quickly closed his lips.
Frowning in displeasure, Gui Xiaoxu turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, "Since you can't speak properly, I guess you don't need your tongue anymore."
The second his words fell, Xuan Wu pulled a military dagger. Grabbing the man's chin, he forced his mouth open.
Looking at the approaching dagger, the middle-aged man shook his head and tried to break free from Xuan Wu's grip.
"L-let me g—!"
Before he could finish his last words, Xuan Wu's dagger struck.
Slash!
Pluk…
"Ugh!"
Drip… drip… drip…
Stepping back to avoid staining his boots with the middle-aged man's blood, Xuan Wu grabbed the man's clothes and wiped his dagger clean.
Witnessing this, the young man couldn't control his fear and wet himself.
Glancing at his pants, Gui Xiaoxu frowned slightly in disgust. Standing up, he returned to the chair and sat down.
Crossing his legs, Gui Xiaoxu said, "Whoever tells me who is behind this, I will let you walk out of here alive. Remember, you only have ten seconds to make your decision."
After he said that, Gui Xiaoxu calmly observed his paternal cousins and uncles while Ke Ting counted the time.
"4… 3… 2…"
Just as there was only one second left, the young man quickly said, "It's the second branch!"
Getting the answer he wanted, Gui Xiaoxu stood up. As he removed his black gloves, he calmly said, "Let him go. As for the others…"
