If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

"I told you to pick your hand up!"

The assassin's tone was filled with brutality and chilling killing intent.

Li Jiangxi dared not disobey the order. He gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain, and crawled to the severed hand in a very disheveled state, picking it up.

The tendons in his severed hand were bleeding, and his wrist was also bleeding from the fracture.

This scene looked particularly bloody.

It's enough to scare ordinary people to tears.

Even though Li Jiangxi had seen many storms and was ruthless, having killed many enemies who were at odds with him, he was trembling with fear at this moment.

After all, he was used to a life of luxury. He was just a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken. No matter how much power he had outside or how many gangsters he had under his command.

When facing a truly ruthless killer.

He's not much better than a chicken.

This world is very unfair. The poor and the rich are like beings from two different dimensions. They are high above and they are above all others.

But the only fair thing the Creator did was to give everyone only one life, and to make each individual human being very vulnerable.

No matter how powerful or wealthy you are, when faced with a knife from a desperate ordinary person, all people are equal!

For the first time, Li Jiangxi realized how vulnerable she was.

He knew he was teetering on the brink of death!

He doesn't want to die!

So, without hesitation, he knelt down with a snap.

He was covered in blood, looking utterly wretched, kneeling before the assassin like a dog, his whole body trembling.

He struggled to suppress his fear and maintain his composure, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace as he pleaded, "What do you want in return for not killing me? Name your price, and I'll agree to anything!"

"I don't care who sent you, but you should know who I am. Even if you don't, it doesn't matter. What I want to say is that I have a lot of money and connections. I know and have befriended many tycoons and powerful figures! As long as you release me, I can do a lot for you!"

"Fighting and killing are things only brutes do. Even if you kill me, you'll only get a corpse and some money. But if you keep me alive, the benefits you'll gain are immeasurable!"

"Moreover, once I die, my allies will absolutely not let this go. You have no idea how powerful they are. In this country, no one can escape punishment from the tycoons and the powerful. I hope you will think twice!"

Li Jiangxi practically gritted his teeth as he finished saying these words of pleading and surrendering.

It's because I'm getting old.

His wrist had been brutally severed, and he had lost too much blood, turning his face deathly pale. Despite the intense pain, he hadn't fainted and was still begging for mercy, which showed he had quite a strong will.

The masked assassin listened to his words.

He sneered, "Li Jiangxi, you old fox, you have quite the eloquence. If I were an ordinary person, I might have actually been persuaded by you."

"Unfortunately, you have no idea what mistakes you made or who you offended. Have you ever thought about why I cut off one of your hands?"

Li Jiangxi: "???"

Of course he didn't understand.

The masked assassin gave him the answer, mocking, "You make a living with this hand. Without this hand that writes, you're like a tiger without claws, destined to eke out a living!"

"In addition..." His voice changed slightly as he said this, "Someone once lost a hand because of you."

"So this is the retribution you deserve!"

Li Jiangxi was somewhat confused this time, far from his usual calm and shrewdness. He only heard the assassin say that he wanted to cripple his hand that was used for eating, and his heart turned cold.

Indeed, how can he write without his right hand?

As for the last sentence, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Over the years, many of his enemies have lost their hands and feet.

Many also lost their lives.

He didn't care about the lives of those pigs and dogs.

All he cared about was his own life!

He suppressed his fear and pain, banging his head heavily on the ground: "Friend, killing me is really not cost-effective. There's a saying that if you want to take revenge on someone, make them suffer more living than dead, isn't that right?"

"My right hand, which I use to eat, is now broken. I can no longer write articles or be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. Haven't you already achieved your goal?"

"Spare my life, and I will retire from writing!"

"I can also have someone write an apology letter and publish it in the newspaper to apologize to that Prosecutor Li and beg for his forgiveness!"

"I can apologize, admit my mistakes, and compensate everyone I've offended over the years!"

Li Jiangxi was cunning; even at this point, he couldn't resist testing the waters.

Although he was now 100% certain that the assassin was sent by that bastard Li Chenghuan.

But he dared not say it outright.

They were afraid that if they spoke out, they would be silenced.

The assassin didn't care what he thought at all. Instead, he held the knife to his neck with a sinister look and said, "I am a kind, upright, and righteous person who hates evil. I can't stand seeing you despicable and shameless rich people bullying ordinary people. I heard that recently two beasts, one named Park Tae-young and the other Park Young-joon, have committed many crimes. How can such people continue to live?"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Jiangxi immediately understood what he meant.

He's trying to kill them both!

If judged according to South Korean criminal law and going through legal procedures, Park Tae-young and Park Young-joon could potentially be sentenced to life imprisonment. However, if they hire professional lawyers, they could be sentenced to less than ten years in prison.

The death penalty is absolutely out of the question.

Because there is no evidence that they personally killed anyone.

But many people were indeed indirectly killed by them.

The assassin stated bluntly that he wanted them dead.

There are only two options: one is to make them commit suicide out of guilt.

Another option is to have prisoners do it!

Regardless of the method, it's not something an ordinary person can do, but Li Jiangxi happens to be the one who can accomplish it.

To save his own life.

Li Jiangxi nodded without hesitation and agreed, "I understand, those two scumbags really deserve to die! Please give me some time, I guarantee that within a week, no, within three days, they will commit suicide out of guilt!"

Upon hearing this, the assassin shook his head and slowly extended two fingers: "I'll only give you two days."

"If they're not dead in two days, you're dead!"

Li Jiangxi didn't dare to haggle at all, and quickly said, "Two days it is! As long as you don't kill me, anything is negotiable!"

Seeing how obedient he was.

The assassin remained indifferent and said again, "I am a kind, upright, and righteous person who hates evil. I specialize in judging the guilty. If you want me to let you go, you must first confess the crimes you have committed over the years and what bad things you have done so that I can see if you are still redeemable."

As soon as these words came out.

Li Jiangxi's expression immediately changed, and he was asked to confess the crimes he had committed over the years.

He can't even count them himself!

But with a gleaming knife pressed against his neck, he dared not disobey.

So he began to try to recall, recounting in detail the less serious of the evil deeds he had committed over the years.

This includes, but is not limited to, using newspapers and media to publish articles and launch public attacks against opponents, political enemies of allies, and colluding with the bigwigs of the Insider Alliance to manipulate and enslave actresses, and having their gangsters deal with and harm those who oppose the Insider Alliance...

Each and every one of these incidents is truly shocking.

Without hesitation, he betrayed his allies, revealing the names of Councilor Zhang, Chairman Wu, and other members of the insider alliance.

After saying all this, Li Jiangxi still looked innocent and shamelessly defended himself, saying, "Most of these things were asked of me by my allies, and I wasn't the one who actually did them. At most, I was just an accomplice. My crime doesn't warrant death!"

Seeing his shamelessness and lack of remorse.

The assassin really wanted to chop him up with one blow.

However, remembering the instructions from the person behind him, he took a deep breath and slowly withdrew the knife from Li Jiangxi's neck.

Then he pointed to a camera that had been set up nearby and said:

"Tsk tsk, Editor-in-Chief Li's posture of kneeling down to beg for forgiveness and repent for his sins was really good. Very good. I have filmed the whole process of what you said. It is worth taking back to show my employer. He might even give me a raise."

Upon hearing the assassin's words...

Only then did Li Jiangxi notice the small camera that was continuously filming him from the corner behind him.

Suddenly I felt like the sky was falling!

He was cheated!

The assassin never intended to kill him; instead, he wanted to force him to betray his teammates and confess to the crimes he had committed!

You're playing me!

He couldn't help but growl, his tone extremely angry.

The assassin laughed: "So what if I played you? What, you're not convinced? Then stand up and fight me one-on-one!"

Li Jiangxi: "..."

He felt really aggrieved, but he dared not argue with the other party anymore.

This isn't the Seven Star Gang's headquarters; it's his home.

If his gang of thugs were around, how could this despicable guy be allowed to be so arrogant!

Seeing Li Jiangxi's cowardly appearance, the assassin scoffed, "I didn't kill you this time so you'd learn your lesson. Next time, things might be different."

"Don't forget what you promised us."

"Otherwise, if they don't die, you will, understand?"

The current situation is beyond our control.

Li Jiangxi could only nod resentfully, "I understand."

"Very good, you know what's good for you." The assassin nodded in satisfaction, then said to the surrounding air, "Brothers, let's retreat."

He trailed off.

Four men emerged from various corners of the seemingly empty study. They were dressed simply, had unremarkable appearances, were unkempt, but had fierce and cruel eyes.

Holding sharp knives, they glanced at Li Jiangxie expressionlessly, took the camera, and then left the study in an orderly fashion.

Li Jiangxi broke out in a cold sweat again!

What the hell is this room?!

Click!

The sound of the door closing rang out.

After watching the assassins swagger away, Li Jiangxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With no outsiders present, his face instantly darkened, turning into one of extreme humiliation and displeasure.

"Damn it! These beasts!"

He dared not mention revenge, fearing there might still be recording equipment in the room, but his anger and murderous intent had reached their peak.

But the more important thing now is to go to the hospital!

If we had come any later, he would have been gone.

"Kang Joo-hee, get in here right now! Call an ambulance for me!"

He roared at the door, wanting the nanny to come and help him.

No one responded for a long time.

"Damn it! You bitch! You dare to bully me!"

Li Jiangxi roared angrily. He stumbled into the living room and searched every corner, but he couldn't find the woman.

My heart sank again.

That bitch ran away!

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you all!"

Li Jiangxi roared to the sky, but had no choice but to awkwardly dial the ambulance number with his trembling left hand before collapsing to the ground.

He was pale, had lost too much blood, and felt like he was about to die.
