After traveling through time, my system is a scam

In the tense atmosphere, the killer's words broke the silence.

"Brother, let's talk about this. How about I split the money with you?" There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes, and his narrowed eyes were full of calculation.

Then he continued, "Look, the Xiao family's prince is gone. My potion is extremely poisonous. Soon his cousin will become the new prince of the Magic City. If you let me go, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of him. How about a raise in salary and bonus!"

The killer was fully confident in what he had developed, as if the potion was a weapon for him to control his destiny.

He raised his chin slightly, with a smug smile on his lips, as if he had already seen the scene of himself gaining power in front of the new prince.

However, at this moment, a strange and eerie voice suddenly came from behind him, "Really?" Xiao Chengyi's sudden voice scared the killer so much that he shuddered as if he had seen a ghost.

He turned his head to look at the person who came, his body shook violently, his eyes widened instantly, and his terrified expression was as if he was struck by lightning.

"You... you... how come you're okay?" The killer's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. His pale lips began to tremble, and his voice became hoarse with nervousness.

Xiao Cheng also slowly walked out of the shadows, his figure like a ghost, exuding a strong sense of oppression. His eyes revealed the majesty of a superior, as if he could see through all of this person's thoughts.

He approached the killer step by step, and each step carried a powerful aura, as if he was not stepping on the ground, but on the killer's heart.

The killer took two steps back unconsciously, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart was filled with fear.

His eyes began to wander around, as if looking for a chance to escape.

But looking around, there was not even a window here, and the only door was blocked by two strong men.

But his actions seemed so ridiculous in front of Xiao Chengyi.

"Do you think your little trick can succeed?" Xiao Chengyi's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a hammer hitting the killer's heart.

The killer's face turned pale in an instant. His lips trembled, full of disbelief. "No... Impossible. My potion has never failed."

His voice was filled with panic and desperation.

He stared at Xiao Chengyi as if he was not a human. "How did you do it?" The killer's voice was trembling. This man was too scary. He regretted his impulsiveness today.

Xiao Cheng also slightly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Just relying on your potion, you think you can take my life?" The mocking tone and disdainful eyes made it seem as if the killer's actions were no different from those of a clown.

"Are you disappointed to see that I'm okay?" Xiao Chengyi's words hurt the killer's heart.

The killer's body trembled slightly, and he knew that he might be finished this time.

I didn't expect that all this was set up by this person from the Xiao family.

When he realized this, he instantly felt hopeless.

But he was still unwilling to give up and tried to find a chance to escape.

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, as if he was preparing to make a last-ditch effort.

However, in front of Xiao Chengyi, all his little actions seemed so ridiculous.

"Are you doing this to set a trap for the Li family?"

Xiao Cheng also sneered and said nothing.

"Boy, it seems you are quite smart. It's a pity!" One of the bodyguards said gloatingly.

As a prince, how could Xiao Chengyi not have someone protecting him?

The killer only then realized that he had fallen into someone's trap. No, it should be that the entire Li family had fallen into someone's trap.

In other words, the Li family had been secretly helping the Xiao family's second young master to fight for the position of family head, but they didn't expect that the Xiao family had already known about it. Ridiculous! Ridiculous!

Mao Si pondered for a moment, dropped what he was holding, raised his hands above his head, and made a gesture of surrender.

Who wants to die if he can live?

He is useful, and now this person should ask for his confession, and he also has the biggest leverage over the Li family.

"I'll tell you everything, just ask you to spare my life!" He knew it would be difficult for him to escape, so he just wanted to save his life.

Xiao Cheng also nodded to the leading bodyguard.

The bodyguard understood immediately.

He walked up, handcuffed the killer's hands behind his back, and tied him to a bed.

After doing all this, he began to ask questions.

"Tell me, what's your name, where are you from, what have you done, how many evil things have you done for the Li family, and how many people like you are there in the Li family?"

The bodyguard asked sternly.

The killer knew that he had fallen into the hands of the Xiao family's prince. As long as he behaved well, he basically had a chance to survive, unless he had done something unforgivable and abhorrent to both humans and gods.

This was his first time taking action personally, and at most he was just researching something in the back.

Thinking of this, he said to the security guard in front of him in a flattering manner, "My name is Mao Si, and I am a man who walked out of the mountains. Because I had a strong talent for chemistry, I was sponsored by the Li family and later entered the Li family's research institute."

"I was working on cosmetics and researching food additives there. One time I accidentally made a prescription, and they put it away separately."

"When I entered the villa, there were several people inside. It was a place called Dongcheng Villa. We lived in the last row, the third villa. There were 16 of us in total, and everyone had different skills."

"One is a hacker, one is a killer who is good at martial arts and is quite powerful. There are also two twin killers who use the honey trap used by the Li family to assassinate their business rivals."

"There's also a group that likes to play blasting. They'll throw something at your doorstep whenever they want. That thing is ZD. I'm the most useless one among them, but the things I configure are very popular with them, so I'm not having a bad time there."

Having said that, he was silent for a moment and glanced at the man hiding in the dark.

He swallowed and said, "Mr. Xiao's father was blown up by the man who was good at playing with explosives. As for the fact that the thing he prepared led to the death of the prince's mother, he dared not mention it.

If he mentions it, he will die. As for the life and death of others, it has nothing to do with him.

"Oh, by the way, the Li family abroad is not clean either. I heard that they are doing a lot of illegal things. As long as you catch the housekeeper of the Li family, everything will be clear!"

Mao Si hated the man who had betrayed him when he was ignorant.

He also wanted to have a conscience, and he did not agree at first. His nickname was Mao Si, and his real name was Liang Yuechao. He only dared to say his nickname, otherwise, if this person knew what he had researched and killed his mother, the consequence would be that he could pay with his life, but his parents were innocent.

He couldn't drag his family down with him.
