Chapter 1238

Seeing that Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze was not on him, the man spoke again.

“We are all our own people, Mr.

Xiaojiu, why bother making the boss unhappy over such a small matter?”

“If he gets angry, you know the consequences will be troublesome…”

Before he could finish, he suddenly stopped.

Feeling a cold breath suddenly emanating from Mu Xiaojiu, his body instantly tensed up.

The strong presence coupled with the chilly breath made him doubt whether what he just said was a grave mistake.

Maybe, Mu Xiaojiu was someone who couldn’t be threatened at all.

“Speak, how many people were sent here in total?”

Ye Hua’s resonant voice snapped him back to reality.

He shook his head: “I don’t know, it was arranged by the boss, I really don’t know.”

“Do you truly not know, or are you just refusing to say?” Ye Hua narrowed his eyes; this kind of person wouldn’t shed tears unless they see a coffin.

“I don’t know, of course I don’t know.

How could the boss tell me everything about such an important arrangement?”

“In that case, you’re of no use.” Ye Hua tilted his head and glanced at the two brothers behind him, giving them a signal with his eyes.

The two brothers, having received Ye Hua’s order, immediately stepped forward.

One of them casually pulled out a dagger from the hem of his trousers and held it in his hand.

“What are you trying to do? What do you want?” the man started to panic.

“Let me tell you, I’m the boss’s man. If I really suffer any harm, you can’t—ah…”

Before he could finish, a sharp scream erupted from his throat.

The scream was unmasked because he had not anticipated that these people would actually lay their hands on him.

Blood gushed from his thigh and soon dripped onto the ground.

“You, you actually dared… No, no, ah…”

Pain struck again, this time from his hand.

As he watched one brother grab his hand and the other raised the dagger, he was completely panicked.

Attempting to desperately struggle, but being trapped here, there was nowhere to escape.

Seeing his left pinky finger fall to the ground, bloodied, he broke down.

Mu Xiaojiu was not someone he could provoke, nor was he somebody he could threaten.

Not even the boss could.

“How many people.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s cold voice drifted from ahead, sounding so distant yet still chilling to the bone.

Pain shot through his hand and leg, but at this moment, he couldn’t care less about it.

“I don’t know, I really don’t know, Mr.

Xiaojiu, everything was arranged by the boss, the boss said to ask him in person if there were any questions.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…”

The man kept begging, but, obviously, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t believe him.

Ye Hua once again signaled to the two brothers, who nodded and started raining punches and kicks on the man.

These two were the most outstanding brothers under Ye Hua’s command, and after a round of beating, the man was so battered that he was unrecognizable from before.

Just looking at his face, both eyes were swollen to the size of buns, his nose obviously broken, skewed to one side.

As for his body, clothed as he was, one could only see patches of his clothes already torn with fresh blood oozing from within, falling to the ground.

The two men showed no sign of stopping, brutally pounding him with full force.

Seeing he was gasping for air, yet his mouth was still mumbling something unclear.

“I, I, don’t, know, I… don’t… know…”
