Chapter 1722: Who Exactly Is This Person?

~7 min read 1,358 words

The next second, Zhang Xingxing turned and jumped right out of the window!

Li Xingyan frowned and commanded, "Go after him for me!"

But Xie Wanyi stopped him, saying, "Leave this person to me!"

"Can you handle it? Will you lose him?"

"Rest assured, I will definitely bring him back."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi prepared to leave.

But Jiang Motian grabbed his wrist and urged him worriedly, "You must be careful."

"Mm, I know."

Xie Wanyi curled his lips at her and immediately ran out.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xingxing, who had jumped from the third floor, felt dizzy and muddled.

His legs felt as if they were filled with lead.

Fortunately, his people were waiting below to meet him.

Seeing Zhang Xingxing like this, they immediately asked, "What's going on? Have you been exposed?"

Zhang Xingxing knew that if he admitted it, these guys could silence him halfway at any moment!

To save his life, he calmly denied it: "Not at all. Send me to find Xu Nianxin first!"

"What can finding that airheaded beauty change?"

"I have an agreement with her; we must trade in person!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingxing's accomplices said no more and efficiently escorted him into a car.

When Xu Nianxin saw Zhang Xingxing, she was startled.

Then she asked with a look of disgust, "Why is your complexion like a ghost's?"

Zhang Xingxing had no time to explain; he opened his mouth and commanded, "Find a way to get me out of here!"

"Why don't you leave yourself?"

"I've been exposed. The Li Family and Xie Wanyi are watching me closely. I need to use your power!"

What!?

Because of this sentence, Xu Nianxin felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy!

She stared fixedly at Zhang Xingxing and interrogated him: "Didn't you say the plan was going smoothly? How could it end up like this?"

"Don't ask so many questions. They will be onto me soon. Let me leave here first!"

Xu Nianxin was not in a hurry at all.

Instead, she said with a cold expression, "Send you away? Let me send you to the afterlife instead!"

"Hmph, I knew you also harbored the intention to silence me! But I secretly recorded our conversation. If I lose contact with my friend, my friend will release the recording!"

Xu Nianxin had not expected this guy to have a backup plan, and her gaze turned icy.

Under the influence of the drugs, Zhang Xingxing's consciousness became somewhat blurred.

But to focus his energy and persuade Xu Nianxin, he secretly used a razor blade to cut his own palm.

The pain from the wound made him a bit more clear-headed.

Then he continued to lobby Xu Nianxin: "The Li Family's methods are terrifying! Once they target you, you won't be able to escape their grasp! So... you know what to do, right?"

Xu Nianxin thought for a moment and said, "Give me the recording, and I'll send you away!"

"Heh, didn't you hear what I said? Send me away first, then we can talk about the recording!"

"But if you leave clean, am I supposed to stay behind alone to clean up the mess!"

In Xu Nianxin's plan, the man before her was the scapegoat, the one to take the fall.

In the end, she could just push all the responsibility onto him.

Now that he wanted to leave...

Wouldn't she be the one in trouble?

Xu Nianxin was not happy about that!

Zhang Xingxing guessed Xu Nianxin's calculations.

He sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he reminded her considerately: "If I disappear, you can push the blame onto me even more easily. Anyway, there will be no proof left."

Xu Nianxin was slightly tempted.

She began to slowly feel that a disappearance and a death with no proof were actually about the same.

However, just as Xu Nianxin was wavering more and more...

"Silly girl, why waste your breath on a person like this? Just subject him to torture, and he'll confess everything!"

The one speaking was a chubby man.

He walked in from the doorway with a steady, unhurried gait.

As he passed by Zhang Xingxing, he took the opportunity to glance at him.

That look was clearly that of someone looking at an ant.

Zhang Xingxing was not surprised at all when he saw him, and he opened his mouth to call out: "West Hall Master?"

This form of address made the West Hall Master pause!

Afterward, he stared fixedly at Zhang Xingxing and interrogated him: "How do you know me!?"

"Of course I know the West Hall Master's great name. But why are you here secretly instead of holding down the fort at Wuyou Hall? Could it be... you can't keep Wuyou Hall under control anymore?"

Zhang Xingxing's words caused the West Hall Master's expression to change drastically!

Several possibilities flashed through his mind.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and interrogated him: "Who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is not important; you only need to know that if you hurt me, the people behind me will not let you off!"

"Ha, what a big mouth you have."

"If you don't believe me, then just try it and see whether I end up miserable or you end up even more unlucky!"

Zhang Xingxing was very panicked, gripping his injured palm tightly.

But on the surface, he appeared very calm.

West Hall Master was actually intimidated by Zhang Xingxing's aura, and for a moment, he did not speak.

A moment later, West Hall Master feigned generosity and said, "I can help you find a safe place to hide."

His decision did not satisfy Zhang Xingxing.

He sneered and said, "West Hall Master, this is just a delaying tactic; you want to trap me, slowly investigate my identity, and once you feel I am no threat, you will immediately eliminate me!"

It had to be said, this bastard... actually understood him quite well!

But West Hall Master truly did not remember when he had ever had any dealings with such a person!

West Hall Master rolled his eyes, then looked at Xu Nianxin.

Xu Nianxin looked completely out of the loop.

She was even more bewildered than West Hall Master.

It was evident that she knew nothing.

Therefore, the breakthrough still lay with this young man.

But Zhang Xingxing did not have time to let West Hall Master make a breakthrough.

Knowing he could not hold on for much longer, he hurriedly lobbied, "Escorting me away won't cost you much effort, yet it will keep you safe; what a cost-effective deal this is!"

"Cost-effective? This is clearly a losing deal!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Xingxing's face turned deathly pale in an instant!

His back stiffened, and he did not dare to look at Xie Wanyi, who had just walked in.

Xie Wanyi flicked his wrists, his footsteps unhurried.

But with every step he took closer, the people in the room became a fraction more nervous!

Especially Xu Nianxin; once swept by Xie Wanyi's gaze, she immediately hid behind West Hall Master.

West Hall Master remained relatively calm.

He lifted his chin and rebuked, "Xie Wanyi, who gave you the nerve to come and go as you please here!?"

"Those who dared to block me are already lying on the ground, unable to get up, so what is there for me to be afraid of? The ones who should be afraid are you."

This bastard...

West Hall Master was furious and alarmed.

At the same time, he looked toward the doorway.

He hoped that two of his subordinates would hurry in to dampen Xie Wanyi's arrogant spirit.

But the doorway remained quiet.

So...

Did Xie Wanyi really take care of so many people without a sound!?

In this instant, West Hall Master was filled with doubt and apprehension.

And Xie Wanyi's attention had already turned to Zhang Xingxing.

He coldly ordered, "Your accomplices have already been taken care of by me; now no one can protect you, you have no choice but to come with me."

Li Beijue's expression turned instantly grim, and he stood up abruptly, striding out of the room.
