They all said they didn’t know about this matter,\" Ke Ting replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out wearing a black suit, Gui Xiaoxu sneered. \"Stubborn. I want to see if they can still keep their mouths shut later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, one of the bodyguards opened the black car door in the middle of the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting out of the black car, Gui Xiaoxu looked toward the abandoned factory and faintly heard screams from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside him, Ke Ting said, \"Boss, they are inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu calmly walked toward the factory with car lights illuminating the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the bodyguards opened the metal door, the people inside fell silent and turned to look at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Cousin Brother, I don’t know anything! Please! Let me go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others glared at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting, the middle-aged man coughed up a mouthful of blood. \"Cough! Cough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was trying to catch his breath, one of the bodyguards placed a chair in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down, Gui Xiaoxu leaned back and lazily lit a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xuan Wu stepped forward and kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\" Curled up in pain, the middle-aged man lost his ability to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When silence fell, Gui Xiaoxu puffed out a ring of smoke and lazily asked, \"Who did it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his question fell, nobody dared to look at him or make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gui Xiaoxu opened his palm. A second later, Ke Ting handed him a pair of black gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, Gui Xiaoxu tossed the remaining cigarette to the ground. Pressing it out with his sole, he put on the black gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his words fell, Gui Xiaoxu grabbed the middle-aged man’s collar and punched him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few punches, the man’s face was already swollen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his pig-like face, Gui Xiaoxu threw him to the ground without expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the handkerchief handed to him by Ke Ting, Gui Xiaoxu asked while wiping the blood off his cheek, \"Who’s next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the men heard this, they shivered and tried to shrink back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young man saw Gui Xiaoxu’s boots in front of him, he didn’t dare look up and kept his eyes lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squatting in front of him, Gui Xiaoxu said, \"Younger Cousin Brother, why don’t you tell me who did it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asked by him, the young man said, \"Elder Cousin Brother, please spare me. I really didn’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu chuckled. Grabbing his chin, Gui Xiaoxu forced him to look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, his father hoarsely shouted, \"Don’t you dare speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the young man heard this, he froze. Returning to his senses, the young man quickly closed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second his words fell, Xuan Wu pulled a military dagger. Grabbing the man’s chin, he forced his mouth open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the approaching dagger, the middle-aged man shook his head and tried to break free from Xuan Wu’s grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"L-let me g—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his last words, Xuan Wu’s dagger struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pluk...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip... drip... drip...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, the young man couldn’t control his fear and wet himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at his pants, Gui Xiaoxu frowned slightly in disgust. Standing up, he returned to the chair and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he said that, Gui Xiaoxu calmly observed his paternal cousins and uncles while Ke Ting counted the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"4... 3... 2...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as there was only one second left, the young man quickly said, \"It’s the second branch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-05T16:25:30.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","79500f00fae7925f4275a9b2521ed0a21db2259179f5a85b9aff67c40e79b04e","my-antique-mirror-is-a-portal-to-another-world-chapter-243","my-antique-mirror-is-a-portal-to-another-world-chapter-241",793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-antique-mirror-is-a-portal-to-another-world-cover.jpg"]
