Chapter 149

Xu Hao's evidence was his last resort to save his life.

He had already thought it through; if he were ever caught in the future, he would pull out Xu Hao's evidence.

And strive for lenient treatment.

He hadn't expected these people to know about it.

He let out a sigh, the face hidden beneath his hood quickly changing expressions.

"What? You don't want to hand it over? Or are you worried that after you speak, we'll silence you?"

"Then you can rest assured. I can swear that as long as you produce Xu Hao's evidence, I guarantee I won't kill you."

"We'll even send you abroad. You don't think that after already telling me about Xu Hao's criminal acts, you can still stay by his side and work for him, do you?"

0 …

After hearing this, Li Kun shook his head repeatedly.

Once these people released him, he would immediately take his family and go abroad.

"Since that's the case, you're running away anyway, what are you keeping Xu Hao's evidence for?"

"Why not hand it over to us and let us deal with Xu Hao? That way, you can live without a single worry…"

The Assassin cajoled him persuasively.

As long as he handed over the evidence, they would let him leave, and he wouldn't have to fear Xu Hao's pursuit in his future life.

If he didn't hand over the evidence, he would die right here and suffer Xu Hao's retaliation for betrayal.

Two paths.

Anyone who wasn't a die-hard loyalist would know how to choose.

Li Kun had already blurted out Xu Hao's criminal facts; he clearly wasn't a die-hard loyalist.

Gritting his teeth, he blabbered on, revealing the news that the evidence of Xu Hao's crimes was stored in a secret room.

"Are you sure it's only hidden in the secret room's safe? Are there any in other places? Like computer hard drives or something?"

"To deal with Xu Hao, who is worth tens of billions, a little bit of evidence won't do. We definitely need sufficient solid evidence to nail him…"

Li Kun let out a dejected sigh.

He had thought that revealing one piece of evidence would make these people let him go.

It seemed keeping a trump card for himself was impossible now.

Thus, he revealed that there was another piece of evidence stored on a USB drive.

Xu Hao, sitting in the chair, changed his expression slightly.

This guy really did hold back a trump card.

He had been investigating for the past few days and had already uncovered Li Kun's hidden stronghold, as well as finding the evidence in that safe.

Xu Hao had simply threatened him once more out of caution.

He hadn't expected to actually get it out of him.

Don't look down on it just being a small USB drive; if those protagonists of destiny he had offended were to look for evidence against him…

It definitely would have been found out.

Since it had been asked out, there was no need to worry anymore.

Destroying it all meant no one would ever be able to trace anything back to him again.

Furthermore, whenever he handled certain matters, he directly used Assassins, ensuring absolute confidentiality.

"Besides the safe and the USB drive, did you hide any in other places?"

The Assassin's gaze gradually turned dangerous.

"There's no more, I swear there really isn't any more, just these two copies, and both copies are the same…"

Li Kun said hastily.

"Are you sure? I'll give you one more chance to phrase your words."

The Assassin flicked a wrist, and a dagger stabbed fiercely into Li Kun's shoulder.

"Ah…"

Li Kun let out a miserable scream.

He hadn't expected the kidnapper in front of him to suddenly make a move.

Frightened out of his wits, he gritted his teeth and spoke firmly once again.

"There is no more, I swear. If I have any other evidence, may I be struck by five thunderbolts on the rooftop and die a horrible death."

"Wait a moment, I'll make a phone call to confirm…"

Afterwards, the Assassin picked up a phone and dialed a number.

It was none other than the Assassin hidden around Li Kun's covert secret room.

After a brief explanation, the voice of the Assassin came from the other end.

"The things in the safe and that USB drive have all been found."

Listening to the conversation, Li Kun felt that something wasn't right.

Hadn't he just told these kidnappers?

How could they have suddenly appeared in his secret room?

"You really do deserve to die a horrible death."

As a cold voice rang out, the hood over Li Kun's head was pulled off.

And Li Kun saw Xu Hao sitting in the front seat with a playful look on his face…

Chapter 081: The Protagonist's Stepmother Introduces Her Comrade Sisters! Xu Hao Leverages a Favor…

Boom—

Li Kun suddenly stiffened as if struck by lightning, his face turning pale without a trace of color.

His body began to tremble involuntarily.

At this moment, how could he still not understand that this was a test from Xu Hao?

As a result, he had eagerly blurted out Xu Hao's crimes.

He had even spilled the beans about the evidence he had hidden himself.

Thinking of Xu Hao's ruthless methods, Li Kun was filled with extreme panic.

He felt his future was utterly bleak and devoid of light.

"You're doing great, selling me out pretty thoroughly…"

Anyway, now that the evidence had been found, Xu Hao had nothing left to worry about.

At this moment, he simply wore a mocking attitude.

Since this guy dared to betray him, he would let him experience what true despair was like.

Recovering his senses, Li Kun began to struggle desperately.

But the ropes tied around his body were too tight; he couldn't break free at all, leaving bloody welts across his skin.

"No… President Xu, listen to my explanation."

"Go ahead and explain, I'm listening, let's see what fancy tricks you can spin."

Xu Hao's gaze was playful, his tone extremely cold.

Li Kun's heart trembled violently.

If it came to explaining, what else could he even say?

Betrayal was betrayal; what meaning did an explanation have?

He quickly changed his tune.

"President Xu, I was wrong. I beg you to spare me this once."

"I swear there will never be a next time. President Xu, considering that I have elderly parents above and young children below…"

"And considering that I've worked for you for so many years, if not contributing merit, at least suffering through hardships, I beg you not to kill me…"

Thinking of the cruel methods Xu Hao might use to deal with him, sorrow welled up inside Li Kun, and he burst into tears.

Despite being such a grown man, at this moment he was crying like a hundred-odd-pound child.

Xu Hao felt not the slightest bit of sympathy, his gaze indifferent.

He had originally wanted to see how much regret and despair the man felt.

Turned out it was just this?
