After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"...Who...who are you?"

Qian Jutang stared at the figure and asked tremblingly, "What do you want? Why did you capture me?"

"..."

The figure looked down at him, only getting closer without saying a word.

His hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes as thick as fingers, making it extremely difficult for him to move. Even so, he was still forced to shrink back repeatedly by the overly gloomy and oppressive aura emanating from the figure.

"What...what do you want to do...do you know who I am?"

"..."

The figure completely ignored him.

"clatter……"

The last footstep sounded, and a figure casually stood in front of Qian Jutang.

Qian Jutang looked up at him, and although he kept warning him, his body began to tremble violently.

"You, you, you... please don't do anything reckless! I'm a well-known figure in Yun City. If you hurt me, this matter will be difficult to resolve!"

"Before I get angry, you can tell me everything slowly. I'll definitely solve anything I can!"

"Kidnapping and imprisonment are illegal. Don't go astray because of a moment of impulse!"

"..."

Pei Xingzhi stared blankly at Qian Jutang, patiently listening to his nonsense.

He talked on and on for over a minute, but Pei Xingzhi didn't respond to him at all.

Tormented by the deathly silence, he finally broke down in tears.

"Big brother, big sister! Please, I beg you, please say something! Tell me what you want to do, what you want to do, and I will do everything I can to satisfy you!"

"Malicious kidnapping can land you in jail. Don't do anything rash and ruin your future!"

……

“Heh…” Pei Xingzhi suddenly laughed, but his laughter was filled with a stiff, mechanical quality.

"..." Qian Jutang was slightly startled and looked up at Pei Xingzhi's face again.

His eyes had almost adjusted to the light, and Pei Xingzhi wasn't completely backlit, so at this moment, he could finally see Pei Xingzhi clearly—

The mask on the face.

It was a dark and cold mask, without any patterns or designs, just a dark panel tightly attached to Pei Xingzhi's face, completely hiding his features.

Qian Jutang stared blankly at the mask, and couldn't help but gasp several times.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

His heart sank, and he instinctively knew he was in deep trouble.

The person in front of me not only used a voice changer, but also wore such a thick mask that I couldn't recognize him at all. Even if he was beaten up, I wouldn't be able to accuse him to the police!

A forceful approach was completely out of the question, so he could only try a softer approach to try and save his own life.

"Big brother!" He crawled forward a few steps on his knees, kneeling before Pei Xingzhi like a dog, and pleaded in a pitiful voice, "Big brother, can't we talk this out? As long as you're willing to talk to me properly, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi did not respond to him.

He pulled a thin stack of documents from his coat pocket and coldly read the contents of the documents.

"Qian Jutang, male, 29 years old, is the head of Jubaopen Foreign Trade Company. Five years ago, you smuggled an artifact under the guise of exporting goods; three years ago, you raped a female college student who had just come of age in Binhai. The female college student could not bear the humiliation and threatened to call the police. In order to stop her, you threatened her with nude photos, which eventually drove her to despair and suicide."

“A year ago, you registered a shell company in Jingcheng, hoping to evade taxes by taking advantage of loopholes. However, the company registration failed, and you were unwilling to pay so much tax, so you blatantly evaded taxes.”

"Qian Jutang, am I right?"

"..."

Qian Jutang knelt weakly on the ground, trembling like a leaf, his face paler than that of a dying man.

"...Where did you get all this information from?" He stared at Pei Xingzhi with eyes full of terror, his jaw trembling as he spoke.

Pei Xingzhi did not answer him, but only said, "Then it's true."

Qian Jutang's heart sank to the bottom.

"...No!" He shook his head frantically, stammering in protest, "It's not true, none of this is true! I...I didn't do any of this, I don't know who did it!"

"Brother, you absolutely mustn't believe that!"

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi chuckled mockingly, his cold and stiff mechanical laughter sounding particularly eerie in the dark and damp basement.

Qian Jutang shuddered suddenly, a bone-chilling cold rushing up his scalp.

Pei Xingzhi: "Qian Jutang, tell me, what would you do if I handed these things over to the police?"

"No!" Qian Jutang's voice suddenly rose. "Don't hand it over! Don't hand it over! Brother, just tell me what you want, and I'll give you everything I can!"

"Please, please don't hand it in!"

Pei Xingzhi utterly terrified Qian Jutang with just one sentence.

Pei Xingzhi was very satisfied with his reaction, and then revealed his purpose.

"I don't have to hand it over, as long as you answer my questions truthfully."

"I'll answer!!" Qian Jutang didn't dare to hesitate, almost immediately following Pei Xingzhi's words, "I'll answer, I'll definitely answer honestly! Please, please don't report me!"

Pei Xingzhi waved the documents in his hand and said softly, "It depends on your performance."

Qian Jutang: "I will definitely do my best! Big brother, ask me anything! Even if you ask me when I lost my virginity, I will answer honestly!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi automatically ignored this disgusting topic.

"Qian Jutang, did Qin Wushuang buy a second-hand villa from your friend?"

"Yes!" For the sake of his own future, Qian Jutang didn't care about anything else and immediately betrayed his friend.

"Qin Wushuang did indeed buy a second-hand villa from my friend, just six months ago! My friend even gave him a private villa under his name to use his connections!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Where is the villa?"

Qian Jutang: "The villa is in Linzhou!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Specific location."

Qian Jutang: "On Wuling Mountain in the southwest corner of Linzhou! There are several private villas in that mountain, but I don't know the exact location."

"Are you sure?" Pei Xingzhi's tone was filled with deep doubt.

Qian Jutang was so anxious he almost swore: "I'm sure! I'm 100% sure! The villa Qin Wushuang bought is in the Wuling Mountain Villa!"

"If you don't believe me, you can check right now!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi coldly scrutinized him, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he continued to ask questions.

"Who is your friend? What's his name?"

Qian Jutang: "His name is Yu Xingwang, and he's in Yuncheng right now!"
