Chapter 148

Tap to connect.

"Master, we have found Li Kun's hideout, and he has been placed under our control."

Xu Hao's gaze turned sharp.

He knew the plot——

Li Kun, that turncoat, hadn't saved the evidence regarding him on the internet.

Instead, he had written it down and placed it in a secret stronghold.

Ever since acquiring the Assassin, Xu Hao had them launch an investigation into Li Kun…

After several days, there was finally news today.

After asking Bai Ling for the address, Xu Hao greeted his daughters and left the pool.

He took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out.

This was a covert basement.

Gloomy and damp.

The once well-dressed white-collar worker was in a very sorry state at the moment.

Li Kun had a pitch-black hood over his head, and he kept shouting.

"Let me go, what on earth are you people trying to do? This is kidnapping, it's illegal…"

"How much money do you want? As long as you let me go, I'll give it all to you."

"Do you know who I am? I am the secretary of Xu Group President Xu Hao. If anything happens to me, you'll all be finished too."

In the gloomy room——

Several women stood around, along with a stalwart fellow named Lao Mo.

And this basement used to be a stronghold of the Blood Slaughter Society.

But it wasn't needed anymore now…

With a click, the basement door opened, and two figures walked in.

They were none other than Xu Hao and his personal bodyguard Bai Ling.

Li Kun, wearing the hood, also knew someone had come in—perhaps the boss of this group of kidnappers.

He immediately pleaded for mercy repeatedly.

"What are you going to do? Don't kill me, I am willing to give you anything!"

Xu Hao expressionlessly gave a look to one of the Assassins.

The Assassin nodded in understanding, stepped forward, and said.

"Rest assured, we aren't kidnapping you. The reason we invited you over is to ask you a few questions."

Hearing her words, Li Kun didn't relax at all.

Is this how you invite people over to ask questions?

Having helped Xu Hao handle many shady matters, he deeply knew that these desperate people were not to be trifled with, and he asked apprehensively.

"I don't know what questions you have, but I will definitely say everything I know without reservation."

"Hehe… That would be best. If you obediently listen, it will save us from having to resort to torture."

Li Kun was trembling with fear, nearly scared to the point of pissing himself, and quickly said.

"I will definitely cooperate."

"Rest assured, it's nothing major. You are the president's secretary of Xu Group, you should know quite a bit about a person like Xu Hao, right?"

Hearing this, Li Kun's heart sank.

This was clearly targeted at Xu Hao.

He wasn't afraid of the money extorted by these kidnappers.

He was only afraid it was a vendetta.

In that case, he would likely meet his end right here.

"Xu Hao killed my entire family, didn't expect there to be a survivor like me left, right? I have returned from Hell, solely to exact revenge on him…"

The Assassin's words came out with a very ferocious tone.

She was just like an evil ghost emerging from the netherworld.

With this acting skill, if the Oscars didn't give her a little golden man, it really wouldn't make sense.

Hearing this, Li Kun's teeth chattered as he replied tremblingly.

"I… I know some."

"Knowing some is enough."

The Assassin suddenly reined in her tone, acting completely capricious.

"Let me ask you, what heinous deeds has Xu Hao committed? Tell me clearly, without missing a single word."

"For a person like that to be called a conscientious entrepreneur is intolerable to justice! I want to completely tear off his mask and make him reviled by thousands."

Listening to the Assassin's resentful tone, Li Kun was terrified to the extreme.

He opened his mouth, wanting to blurt it out.

But the words stopped at the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back down.

He had always stayed by Xu Hao's side, handling many matters.

He could be said to understand Xu Hao very well.

If Xu Hao found out he had betrayed him, he would definitely wish he were dead rather than alive.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

"Could that Xu Hao who killed my entire family really be a great philanthropist, just like the rumors say?"

The Assassin held a dagger and gestured across Li Kun's face through the hood.

"I still have to go find Xu Hao for revenge, I don't have time to waste with you here. I'll give you 10 seconds."

"If you still don't talk, then you won't need to speak anymore. I'll cut out your tongue, break your limbs, gouge out your eyes, pierce your eardrums, and throw you out onto the street so you live worse than a dog…"

While speaking, a wave of Killing Intent emanated from the Assassin's body, forcing him to submit.

Li Kun naturally thought of that scene.

Unable to speak with his mouth, unable to see with his eyes, unable to hear with his ears, with both hands and feet broken.

Begging on the streets like a beggar.

Li Kun shivered, his body trembling involuntarily.

Betraying Xu Hao and having Xu Hao sanction him was a matter for later.

Right now, these kidnappers were going to make him wish he were dead rather than alive.

Gritting his teeth, he thought that at worst, after getting out, he would just pack up his buckets and flee abroad.

Even if Xu Hao was a billionaire president and had the Blood Slaughter Society, he wouldn't be able to catch him.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, I beg you not to treat me like that…"

Immediately, Li Kun spilled his guts like bamboo pouring beans, rattling off all of Xu Hao's various crimes in one breath.

He spoke for a full 10 minutes.

Xu Hao was sitting right beside them, quietly watching all of this.

He wasn't the least bit surprised by Li Kun's betrayal.

In the novel's plot, the betrayal happened two and a half years later.

The difference was that this betrayal was within his control.

The Assassin glanced at Xu Hao, and after receiving a cue, continued speaking.

"Very well, I knew Xu Hao wasn't any good thing, but I didn't expect him to be brutal to this extent."

A wave of Killing Intent shrouded downward.

Li Kun, who had relaxed somewhat after speaking of Xu Hao's crimes, immediately tightened his heart again.

"I… I've finished saying everything, can you let me go now?"

"Don't be in a rush. Although what you said is all true, without evidence, even if you speak it out, Xu Hao's brain-dead fans won't believe it."

"Right…"

The Assassin bared her fangs and stated her true purpose.

"You've followed Xu Hao for so long, you shouldn't have left yourself without a way out, right? Hand over all of Xu Hao's evidence to me."

Ah, this.

Li Kun hesitated once more.
