"I will hand over the work as soon as possible during this period and take you out for a walk when I'm done."

When the car arrived at the door of his house, Jiang Xu stretched out his hand to loosen the passenger seat belt and looked at Li Yue.

Li Yue thought that the company's affairs were really complicated recently and it would take some time to hand over the work, so she nodded obediently.

In the next period of time, her workload suddenly decreased, and she felt much more relaxed during work.

Jiang Xu was still very busy, and he was so busy that Li Yue couldn't get involved for a while.

In the past few days, Li Yue noticed that Jiang Xu seemed to be in a bad mood.

He seems to have encountered a difficult problem in recent days.

Li Yue's sleep quality has never been high, and the slightest disturbance at night can easily wake her up.

After being alerted by Jiang Xu going out late at night for several nights in a row, Li Yue became increasingly suspicious.

The same goes for tonight.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Xu walked out of the room.

Even if his movements were very light, Li Yue could still detect them keenly.

She turned over and sat up on the bed, stared at the closed door for a few seconds, then put on a coat and followed Jiang Xu.

Li Yue couldn't help but shiver as the night wind blew her face deeper.

She remained vigilant and followed him not far away, but finally saw Jiang Xu stopping in front of a door.

Li Yue looked at this slightly unfamiliar place and couldn't help but frown.

Is there such a place in the house?

The area around this area is overgrown with grass, and it doesn't look like anyone has been living there for a long time.

What is he here for?

Jiang Xu unlocked the door and walked straight in without closing the door.

Li Yue watched outside for a long time, but finally couldn't suppress his strong curiosity and walked in the door.

The space inside is not large, and the only passage leads directly to the underground.

The further inside, the harder Li Yue's heart beat.

She suddenly regretted that she had followed him so recklessly.

She stood on tiptoes, trying to make her footsteps as soft as possible.

It was dark underground, Jiang Xu was walking so fast, and Li Yue gradually couldn't keep up.

Just as she was about to retreat and turn back, Jiang Xu in front of her suddenly turned on his flashlight.

The light that appeared in the darkness dispelled some of the spookiness here.

Li Yue breathed out a breath and continued to follow on tiptoe.

Noticing Jiang Xu's head tilted to the side, she held her breath and hid against the corner.

Fortunately, Jiang Xu didn't seem to notice her. He just paused for a while and walked forward again.

Li Yue's intuition told her that the end was coming soon.

At the same time, the faint smell of rust that she had smelled before became stronger as she got closer.

"Young Master Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Xu, a man spoke respectfully.

Jiang Xu stopped and responded coldly.

"How are those people doing?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Young Master Jiang, they are all still alive, but they are very stubborn and refuse to say a word." The man looked at Jiang Xu and asked tentatively, "Young Master Jiang, otherwise..."

"They're not dead yet, don't worry." Jiang Xu interrupted the man, his voice as deep as water dripping, "Make sure they look unscathed, and we'll have a better chance of winning."

His tone was calm and gentle, and deciding a person's life or death seemed to be a casual matter.

This is the first time Li Yue has seen Jiang Xu like this, whether in the previous life or this life.

Li Yue felt a complete chill from the soles of her feet. She covered her mouth tightly for fear that she would accidentally make a sound.

"Bring the leader up." Jiang Xu ordered quietly.

"Yes."

The man retreated, and not long after, he dragged a tall but already weak man back.

The light was dim and Li Yue couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he felt inexplicably familiar.

She leaned against the corner and couldn't help but take a small step forward, trying to distinguish the man's appearance.

Here, the man whose arms were tightly trapped woke up from a basin of ice water poured from top to bottom. He shivered hard and became more conscious.

He opened his heavy eyelids and noticed a person standing in front of him.

The strong man slowly raised his head, and when he saw Jiang Xu's face, his expression suddenly changed.

As if he had encountered some extremely terrifying monster, he even forgot to say anything. He screamed subconsciously and moved his weak legs back desperately.

The ground that had just been splashed with water was very slippery, and the strong man fell to the ground with a loud bang.

There was no way to hide now. With fear and despair in his eyes, he watched Jiang Xu squat down in front of him.

The man in front of him was a noble man. Even though he was looking at him levelly, the strong man felt that his hair exuded a condescending tone.

The strong man opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse, so low that it was almost inaudible: "Please, let me go."

There was no extra emotion in Jiang Xu's dark eyes. He curved his lips and said calmly: "Of course, as long as you tell me the answer I want."

This sentence sounded very reasonable and full of consultation in his tone.

The strong man nodded desperately, as if his spirit was on the verge of collapse: "I said it, I said it all."

Seeing Jiang Xu staring at him leisurely, the strong man swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, trying to moisten his extremely dry throat, and then said, "That... it was Gu Mingxuan who ordered Song Xiaocheng to find Li Yue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yue, who was hiding in a corner not far away, heard a roar in his mind, and some things suddenly became clear.

At the same time, she finally realized why the strong man looked familiar to her.

That person was clearly the one who kidnapped her, demanded a huge ransom from Jiang Xu, and almost dragged her to hell!

The fear and tension that were still lingering in her heart were completely replaced by anger and hatred at this moment.

Li Yue tightened her fingertips, her fists trembled slightly, and there were even circles of white around the joints.

"It seems you are still not honest enough."

Jiang Xu's voice sounded slowly, and he stood up, as if he had lost his patience, "Awen, deal with him."

After standing aside and waiting, a man named Awen responded with a sonorous voice and walked up to the strong man.

Jiang Xu had turned around, and at this time, behind him, the man let out a heart-rending roar.

Jiang Xu always acted calm, but Li Yue in the corner was startled.

She... had never seen such a hidden and cruel method of torture.

The pain the man endured was far more than that. His face was covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't move. All the muscles in his body were trembling. It was terrifying to watch.

In the extremely quiet night, only the man's screams echoed for a long time.

"Jiang Xu, you must... die... ah!!!"

The man endured the pain, grinned and said this sentence, and soon fell into the pain of despair.

Jiang Xu didn't care about his vicious curse. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see how I will die."

After the new round of execution ended, the strong man was thrown to the ground with his face as pale as paper, and it became difficult to breathe.

His eyes were red and he stared at Jiang Xu.

Suddenly, the mood in his eyes changed slightly, and he sneered with great effort: "Jiang Xu, you have done many evil things, aren't you afraid that others will see you today and your reputation will be ruined?"
