Xi Tian fell silent. He was unhappy that the Chairman became irrational being bewitched by a beauty. However, as a subordinate, he could only do as he was told.1
After Xi Tian left, Xi Chenxiao picked up the book and said calmly,
“We have all the books and your class schedule here. Take a look and see what you want to learn first.”
Su Jin was still worried about Xi Qiye, so she said uninterestedly,
“Let me see. There are so many of them. Any subject is good.”
Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin who seemed to be unhappy. His eyes flashed with an obscure light as he said coldly,
“Your studies were too bad, so you’d better start from scratch.”
“Tl get Xi Tian to bring all the previous topics. You’ll start learning everything from today until you take the exam.”
$u Jin was speechless. Did he have to be so serious?
She just didn’t do well on purpose. It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it! Besides, it was a waste of time to study from scratch, okay?
In the damp, dark, and dilapidated small house, Xi Qiye was covered in blood. With his knees on the floor and wounds all over his body, he looked at the person in front of him angrily.
A middle-aged woman had her hands tied behind her back.
Aman in black held a knife to the woman’s neck. His eyes were filled with madness and sickness as he smiled at Xi Qiye.
“Xi Qiye, is this woman very important to you?”
As he said this, the man in black cut open the woman’s clothes. He continued to threaten,
“Xi Qiye, you don’t want her to die, right? You don’t want to see her being played either, right?”
Xi Qiye watched the scene before him and clenched his fists tightly. He roared angrily,
“Let her go. She doesn’t know anything. Just come at me. Why are you messing with a woman?”
Xi Qiye’s eyes were dull as he stared at the men in black.
One of them who was probably their leader sneered and said mockingly,
“She doesn’t know, but you do, and so does our master.”
“Master said that if you can give up the inheritance, disfigure yourself, and break an arm, we can let this woman go.”
“Otherwise, we will…”
Then, he stripped the shirt that was ripped open. The middle-aged woman’s snow-white shoulder was exposed.
The woman was so frightened that her entire body trembled. She looked at Xi Qiye in horror.
Xi Qiye clenched his fists angrily, but he did not dare to resist. He could only gnash his teeth and say,
“Do you have to do this to us?”
“If you let us go, I can give up my share of the Xi family. We’ll leave and hide up somewhere.”
The man in black gave a cold smirk when he heard this.
“Xi Qiye, aren’t you too naive? How could my master let go of someone who destroyed her family so easily?”
“She wants you to die. How could she let you go so easily?”
‘Xi Qiye was even more furious when he heard this. He immediately shouted,
“My mother doesn’t know anything. She was deceived too!”
The man in black did not care so much. He would execute all his master’s orders regardless of who the target was. He said coldly,
“Master doesn’t care about the process, she only wants to see the result.”
Xi Qiye glared at the person opposite him. Then, as if he had been defeated, he clenched his fist and said,
“Are you sure that she will let us go if I do as you say?”
Seeing Xi Qiye’s reaction, the man in black looked at him with disdain and said arrogantly,
“That depends on master’s mood.”
“Of course, you can also not do it voluntarily. We can help you to do so.”
Xi Qiye stood up, his eyes filled with disappointment. He looked at the man in black and said,
“So, she doesn’t want to let us go at all. She simply wants me to beg for mercy.”
The man in black laughed and said to Xi Qiye,
“You’re not that stupid after all. Kneel down quickly, we are losing our patience… Do you understand?”
