Seeing Wei Yang smash the surveillance camera with a punch.
The timid Xi Yuanshan and Xi Ruzhu shuddered in unison, their nerves taut with fear.
Xi Yuanshan looked haggard and stammered, "Who, who are you, and why are you interrogating us?"
If this man’s subordinate is already so terrifying, how violent must he be?
And with the camera gone, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for him to do whatever he wants to them?
Xi Ruzhu clearly remembered this man; she had seen him twice, once at school and once at the hospital. His long legs exuded a forbidden desire that would make anyone’s knees weak at a glance.
But the man had another ruthless, unfathomable side!
Last time, outside the DNA testing room, no matter how she pleaded softly, he was unmoved. On the contrary, he grabbed her collar and slammed her hard against the wall effortlessly.
That terrifying wrist strength almost strangled her neck, like a nightmare.
She could never forget his cold, bone-chilling warning: "I don’t hit women, but I kill."
The last time the man used force on her was for Zuzi’s DNA test report.
So this time...is it still related to Zuzi?
Realizing this, Xi Ruzhu trembled even more than Xi Yuanshan, desperately pleading for her life, "I really didn’t harm Zuzi. I just wanted to scare Xi Rubao. Please don’t kill me; I’ll willingly go to jail and accept punishment, truly! Sir!"
She deliberately mimicked Wei Yang, calling out "Sir."
What she received was Bao Gucheng’s disdainful reprimand: "Shut up!"
Are you worthy of calling me that?
The room instantly fell silent.
For Xi Yuanshan and Xi Ruzhu, this silence was like a knife hanging overhead, poised to fall at any moment.
They had no idea what Bao Gucheng would do to them.
With his towering physique, he didn’t need to use his hands; a few kicks with his feet could probably rupture their feeble bodies, causing them to spit blood violently.
Their frail bodies could definitely not withstand a beating.
After a few seconds, instead of delivering a blow, Bao Gucheng tapped his long finger twice on the table: "Bring water."
Wei Yang quickly fetched a small cup of water.
Pouring out more than half, leaving just a bit at the bottom, Bao Gucheng emptied a small packet of pale brown powder into it.
As soon as the powder touched the water, it dissolved violently.
Xi Yuanshan and Xi Ruzhu’s eyes almost popped out: "Is this poison?"
Bao Gucheng glanced at both of them, his voice icy: "Why so tense? Tonight, only one of you needs to die. I’ll give you a chance, decide yourselves."
Xi Yuanshan and Xi Ruzhu’s breath caught, terror mixed with a glimmer of hope and secret joy!
Is there a chance of survival?
Both spoke almost simultaneously: "Let me live, I beg you!"
After speaking, under Bao Gucheng’s mocking gaze, they both realized their first reaction was utterly shameless, equivalent to condemning the other to death.
The blame lay with Bao Gucheng’s cruel, heart-wrenching proposal; it was merciless!
Tears welled in Xi Ruzhu’s eyes as she looked at Xi Yuanshan: "Dad..."
She didn’t continue, but her pitiful expression clearly pleaded for a chance to live.
Xi Yuanshan almost relented.
But thinking of the life-and-death matter, although he had cancer and didn’t know how long he had left, even living one more day in prison was better than dying now.
Resolutely, he avoided looking at Xi Ruzhu, sternly saying, "The adult has the final say! Have you no sense of filial shame?"
Xi Ruzhu felt as if she had been struck again, her already fragile heart unable to bear it.
Enduring it once more, she gritted her teeth and said—
