Jiu Ye, little ancestor, she is crazy
Chapter 231 The man bites the boss behind him
The only thing that remains unchanged is that ray of light, so weak that it is almost negligible. It still stubbornly penetrates the thick walls and shines on this heartbreaking scene, like a ray of hope in the darkness.
"Now, tell me the name of that man!" Lu Jingwen spoke again. Although his voice was low, the power contained in it was enough to shake the mountains.
This powerful pressure permeated the air, making it impossible to breathe and even more impossible to resist.
The man raised his head with difficulty and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
The bitter smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth had long since disappeared, replaced by an expression of determination to die.
He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently. Then, his lips began to tremble slightly, like a dry leaf shivering in the cold wind.
Finally, after a painful struggle, he opened his mouth and uttered the name that had been buried deep in his heart in a hoarse and trembling voice.
The moment the man said that name, the entire secret room suddenly became silent, so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a pin drop.
However, that name exploded in the air like thunder, echoing continuously and shaking people's hearts over and over again.
The impact it brought seemed to freeze the entire secret room. All the secrets, conspiracies and the truth hidden behind them gradually surfaced with the appearance of this name, revealing the tip of the iceberg.
"This name..." Lu Jingwen gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Each word was filled with deep hatred and anger.
The veins on his hand, which was originally holding something, bulged due to excessive force, and the object in his hand seemed like it would be crushed at any time.
That name was like a devil's spell, echoing in his mind, attacking his rational defenses and making his emotions spin out of control like a wild horse.
The man standing beside him saw Lu Jingwen's reaction clearly. A barely perceptible look of triumph flashed across his eyes, but was immediately overwhelmed by endless pain.
"What is your relationship with him?" Lu Jingwen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to make his tone sound calmer.
However, his slightly trembling voice betrayed his inner uneasiness at the moment.
Facing Lu Jingwen's questioning, the man just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face, but did not give any answer.
Then he slowly closed his eyes, like a silent sculpture, as if just saying those words had exhausted all his strength and completed an extremely difficult mission.
"You won't understand, Lu Jingwen..." After a long time, the man squeezed out these words from his throat with great difficulty.
His voice was low and hoarse, like the lingering gasp of an old bellows, and the complex emotions contained in it were even more elusive.
The man's gaze fell directly on Lu Jingwen. There was a hint of smugness in his eyes, mixed with a lingering sense of sadness.
"The relationship between us is far more complicated than you can imagine..." As the words fell, the man's voice became weaker and weaker, like the last struggle of a candle in the wind before it was about to go out.
He looked exhausted and shaky, as if the last bit of energy in his body had been drained away, leaving only his still firm eyes, staring at Lu Jingwen.
It was as if he wanted to see through the other person's eyes and see the secrets hidden deep in his soul, and it seemed as if he wanted to convey some important information to Lu Jingwen in this way - a mystery that may never be solved.
Lu Jingwen felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and instantly sank into a bottomless abyss.
The other party's vague hints are like a faint light in the misty fog, seemingly close at hand, yet out of reach, full of mystery and temptation.
The veins on his clenched fists were clearly visible due to excessive force.
Although he knew that no matter how much he threatened or lured, this stubborn man would not easily tell the truth, his inner anxiety still made him unable to suppress his desire to try to break the deadlock.
At this moment, the unspoken name was like an extremely sharp sword, hanging high above his heart. Every slight shake would bring a piercing pain, ruthlessly tearing at his only remaining sanity.
Finally, Lu Jingwen could no longer hold back and suddenly said in a cold voice, "Investigate this thoroughly! I want to know what kind of relationship exists between them!"
Before he finished speaking, he added, "No matter what means you use, even if you have to exhaust all your efforts, you must pry open his tightly closed mouth! Remember, just don't kill him."
After hearing these words, the man standing beside him trembled slightly involuntarily.
However, he did not show any intention of resistance, but slowly closed his eyes, his face as calm as water, as if he had already accepted and calmly faced the unknown fate that was about to befall him.
Seeing this, Lu Jingwen turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.
As his footsteps gradually faded away, the extremely cold command continued to echo in this closed room for a long time.
At this moment, Tang Bufan, who had been standing aside and looking puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what on earth are you talking about? How did things develop to such a serious point?"
Lu Jingwen's sharp gaze was like a burning torch, piercing straight into the darkness ahead.
Suddenly, he turned around and glanced at Tang Bufan coldly.
He pursed his lips tightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly tensed into a straight line, as if any words were redundant at this moment, so he chose to remain silent.
He turned and continued walking forward, his figure gradually blending into the dim and narrow corridor.
The dim light made his back look even more lonely and desolate, as if he was the only one left in the world groping forward on this difficult road.
Every step he took was heavy, as if knocking heavily on the door to the truth again and again.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, after a period of inner struggle and calming down, Lu Jingwen slowly spoke, his voice so low that it seemed to come from deep underground: "This matter is far from as simple as it seems on the surface."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Bufan, you should know that I have made countless enemies over the years, and countless people want to kill me."
At this point, Lu Jingwen couldn't help but sigh deeply and shook his head: "Yesterday's news headlines quickly fermented and spread across major news platforms in just half an hour.
