Master Liu snorted, "If you can prove it, then I'll kneel down to you right now, and it's no big deal. But if you can't prove it, who knows if you're just saying that to deliberately humiliate me."
"Didn't you want to show off in front of me? Now I'm giving you a chance."
"If you can't prove it, be careful, I'll have someone break your legs and then crush your bones bit by bit."
"Don't forget, this is Mingyue Pavilion Antique Shop, and you're the one scheming against us. If our shop assistants take you down, you'll definitely get a reward from our President Chu."
Although the shop assistants didn't know what was happening, there were quite a few burly men at the antique shop.
They were mostly there for the safety of the antiques.
And at this moment, they followed Master Liu's words and surrounded him.
Zhang Laohu was a bit stunned. He scanned his surroundings and found more than a dozen people staring at him intently. His voice trembled slightly, "Liu, I'm telling you, it's best not to mess around, or you'll never get rid of your troubles."
"And those bugs will eat you hollow."
"By then, you'll have no chance to regret it. This medicine can only solve it in the early stages. Your troubles will be useless even with this medicine in the later stages."
"You'd better listen to me obediently, or else..."
However, before he could finish, Master Liu slapped him across the face, "I believe your nonsense!"
"Today, even if I have to risk my old life, I'll beat you, you bastard!"
"Take him down and beat him to death."
Without hesitation, the burly men pinned Zhang Laohu to the ground and started beating him.
Zhang Laohu wailed miserably, his voice sounding very pathetic, but he didn't seem to have any serious injuries.
Just then, a mocking laugh echoed from the antique shop, "Your Mingyue Pavilion Antique Shop is truly arrogant."
"You're beating up a customer in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that word will get out and ruin the reputation of your Mingyue Pavilion?"
"There are so many people watching outside. Don't you Mingyue Pavilion care about your reputation anymore?"
Hearing this, Master Liu's gaze snapped over.
The man looked to be in his early twenties, with an unnaturally pale face and sunken eyes.
He was about 1.8 meters tall, but he was so emaciated that he looked like he would be blown over by a gust of wind.
His eyes were sunken, as if he had stayed up for three days and done three days of manual labor.
When Master Liu saw this person, his pupils suddenly contracted. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his voice trembled as he said, "Young Master Guan, how can you stand up?"
The person who arrived was Guan Wei.
His eyes were filled with venomous hatred, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Why can't I stand up? My condition has been resolved, so I've recovered."
"Was it you? We treated you so well, but in the end, you became a traitor and directly defected to Chu Nianxue."
"And that's not all, you even told them some of our family's secrets, causing some of our family's businesses to plummet."
"It has even put our family's company in a state of semi-bankruptcy. And I'm here today to see how you, a traitor, are living."
"But I feel like you're not doing too well either. Have you been poisoned and haven't resolved it yet? And Lin Xiaotian doesn't care about you at all?"
"In fact, I can tell you clearly that Lin Xiaotian can easily solve this kind of toxin, but he won't help you because you are a traitor, a disloyal person."
Master Liu's face turned pale. He finally understood why those people were scheming against Chu Nianxue through him.
It turned out that the mastermind behind all this was Guan Wei.
This guy had been in the ICU before, and he was clearly on his last legs, yet he had stood up again and appeared in front of him. If he believed there was no one else behind this, he would be a fool.
He knew very well what had happened to the Guan family.
At this moment, the cold smile on Guan Wei's face became even more pronounced, "Master Liu, regardless of anything, since you've now followed Chu Nianxue, you're no longer one of our company's people."
"Originally, I could have easily helped you solve your current troubles, but because of your betrayal, you'll have to suffer for the rest of your life."
"And your days are numbered. At most, it will be a month before your body rots and is gnawed by countless maggots."
A flicker of hesitation appeared in Master Liu's eyes, but soon his gaze became firm again.
"Young Master Guan, you can't blame me for betraying you. After all, your family is already in decline. Even if I didn't betray you, I wouldn't have lasted long by staying with your family before I would have resigned on my own."
"Moreover, people strive for higher ground, and water flows to lower places. You can no longer bring me more benefits, so I can only choose to leave."
"However, you are my former employer, and I can remind you of one thing. If you are the one planning this, I advise you to find Lin Xiaotian as soon as possible. Perhaps if you confess everything honestly, Lin Xiaotian might spare your life."
"If you remain stubborn, your fate might be even worse than before."
Master Liu's words were sincere and heartfelt. He was not a heartless person, and after all, he had worked for the Guan family before.
However, when Guan Wei heard this, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Do you think Lin Xiaotian can escape now?"
"He is indeed powerful, but when facing the unknown, he is not much stronger than you. Moreover, Lin Xiaotian is probably in trouble himself. Do you think I'm going to beg him? Are you out of your mind?"
"Or has Lin Xiaotian put some kind of spell on you?"
Master Liu gritted his teeth. After hesitating, he still didn't reveal the truth, only sighed and shook his head, "Young Master Guan, I know there must be someone else behind you."
"I hope you will confess honestly then, and don't anger Lin Xiaotian."
Hearing this, Guan Wei frowned. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, and then his expression changed drastically.
