With a thud, Miao Chong fell straight onto the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xuan prepared to kill him.
Just as he drew his weapon, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Turning around, he saw Miao Qingyun and the clan leader. Qin Xuan knew why they were here, but his movements didn't stop.
The clan leader said, "Let him go."
Qin Xuan, asked to let him go right from the start, would he obey?
The woman beside him tugged at the clan leader's sleeve and said to Qin Xuan, "Let him go, we'll take him back and keep an eye on him."
If anyone else had asked him to let Miao Chong go, Qin Xuan might not have complied. But since Miao Qingyun had spoken, no matter how unwilling, he had no choice but to sheath his weapon.
As Miao Chong was about to get up, Qin Xuan stopped him, pinning him against the wall. He reached out and grabbed his throat.
Miao Qingyun said, "Qin Xuan, didn't you promise to let him go? Why are you threatening his life again?" Da Feng Novel Network
The ancients said: a death sentence can be avoided, but a living crime cannot escape. Qin Xuan wanted to teach him a lesson.
The force in his hand wasn't heavy, but it was enough to terrify Miao Chong, whose body trembled uncontrollably.
"Save, save me," Miao Chong said with difficulty.
Seeing Miao Chong's face turn as red as a beet, Qin Xuan finally released his grip. Miao Chong slumped to the ground, trying to escape but found himself still controlled.
The clan leader completely lost his patience: "Qin Xuan, what exactly do you want?"
He had agreed to let the man go, yet he behaved this way. He was clearly trying to humiliate them.
Miao Qingyun, on the other hand, was very calm. She knew that since Qin Xuan had promised her, he wouldn't kill Miao Chong. He just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Qin Xuan had originally intended to let Miao Chong off easily, but the clan leader's provocation made him want to toy with him.
Qin Xuan said, "What if I decide to kill him now?"
The clan leader's face turned ashen. He, a dignified clan leader, was being toyed with by a junior, losing all face.
Fearing that the clan leader would get too angry and the situation would become unmanageable, Miao Qingyun said, "Qin Xuan, stop messing around."
Qin Xuan then restrained himself a little. After all, the man was the clan leader, and he had to show him respect.
"I can let him go, but Miao Chong must tell us who ordered him to put the蛊 on Xiong Zhong," Qin Xuan said.
The mastermind behind this must be exposed so they could guard against them. Otherwise, they would always be at a disadvantage, suffering in secret.
No matter what, Miao Chong refused to speak, which infuriated Qin Xuan.
Pointing at Miao Chong, Qin Xuan said, "How much benefit did the other party give you?"
People like this wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin. But it didn't matter; he had plenty of time to play with Miao Chong. He wanted to see just how capable Miao Chong really was.
Miao Chong chose golden silence. No matter what Qin Xuan said, he wouldn't open his mouth.
Qin Xuan said, "How can I let him go like this? What if he harms someone again?"
His patience was worn out by Miao Chong. If it weren't for Miao Qingyun's sake, Qin Xuan would have taken his life long ago and wouldn't be wasting his breath here with her.
Miao Qingyun understood Qin Xuan and knew his patience was limited, so she hurriedly persuaded him, "They are using you, and you're still helping them. Speak the truth."
If he wouldn't listen to outsiders, he should at least listen to her.
Unexpectedly, Miao Chong was truly loyal and refused to utter a word. Miao Qingyun was so anxious that she slapped Miao Chong across the face.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" Qin Xuan had completely lost his patience and drew his weapon again, intending to aim it at Miao Chong.
Miao Qingyun, of course, could not stand by and watch Miao Chong be killed. She tried her best to stop him.
The clan leader merely stood by and watched the show. He would speak when it was his turn.
As the two argued, the clan leader pulled Miao Qingyun over. Qin Xuan respected him and dared not act in front of him, so he sheathed his weapon.
The clan leader said, "Miao Chong, don't be so ungrateful. Who gave you benefits? If you tell us, that person won't dare to do anything to you."
Miao Chong's eyes darted around, looking hesitant. Qin Xuan also patiently waited for Miao Chong's answer.
After much hesitation, Miao Chong stammered, "If I tell you, can you really keep it a secret for me?"
It was evident that the person behind this must be very powerful, or Miao Chong wouldn't be so afraid.
Miao Chong said, "Yes, yes."
He was about to confess, but he hesitated again. The clan leader was so exasperated by Miao Chong's cowardly nature.
"It's Liu Junjiang, the chairman of Tianxu Group," Miao Chong said.
So it was him. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Miao Chong wouldn't have believed it.
