CHAPTER 19: CHAPTER 19: WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

Qin Shengqiang stared blankly at Lu Xiao.

He had considered the possibility of defeat, but had never imagined falling at the hands of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was nothing more than a shield picked randomly by Qin Youling at the bar last night!

He had also investigated Lu Xiao’s background through some connections and could only describe it in four words: utterly ordinary.

Yet such an ordinary young man possessed remarkable strength and was capable of meticulous planning.

His own arrangements and schemes were so fragile before Lu Xiao.

"Lu Xiao... who exactly are you, and what are your intentions at Qin Family?"

Qin Shengqiang knew that the background information he had gathered about Lu Xiao was definitely false.

How could an ordinary person have such a meticulous mind, and how could an ordinary person effortlessly take down twenty skilled men armed with crossbows?

"Don’t you all know what happened at the bar last night?" Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders.

It really was such a coincidence.

It just so happened that I went to Qin Youling’s bar, it just so happened that Qin Youling was looking for a shield, and it just so happened that the necklace Qin Youling was wearing was related to my life story.

"Do you think I would believe that?!" Qin Shengqiang snorted coldly.

Randomly finding a guest as capable as you?

Do you think I, Qin Shengqiang, am an idiot?

There are no such coincidences in this world, only long-standing conspiracies.

"Whether you believe it or not is none of my business." Lu Xiao waved his hand, "So, are you going to die or not? If not, I’m calling the police."

As he spoke, Lu Xiao took out his phone.

Letting Qin Shengqiang go was out of the question. Qin Shengqiang wasn’t like Qin Kai; that kid Qin Kai had issues that could be toyed with, posing no significant threat. But someone like Qin Shengqiang, given a chance, would evolve rapidly and then target your vulnerability, aiming straight for your Mingmen.

"Lu Xiao! I am willing to fully support Youling and help her truly take control of the entire Qin Family!"

Lu Xiao scoffed and began dialing the emergency number.

"I can give you money, I will give you all my money."

"Even shares in Qin Real Estate, I can transfer them all to you."

"Don’t call the police." Qin Shengqiang finally lowered his stance, offering all the bargaining chips he could.

Once Lu Xiao called the police, with both witness and evidence against him, he would have no chance of turning the situation around.

Furthermore, with the old man still alive, even if he ended up in jail, the old man’s methods and temperament would ensure he did not have an easy time.

Maybe, even worse than death.

Lu Xiao did not pay any attention at all; the conditions offered by Qin Shengqiang held no meaning for him.

"Then what else do you want from me!"

"I will kneel before you, begging you to spare me." With a thud, Qin Shengqiang knelt before Lu Xiao.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Xiao’s eyes and to be honest, the more Qin Shengqiang behaved like this, the more he couldn’t be left alive.

"Your son, Qin Li, was also involved, wasn’t he?"

"I had just sat down at the old man’s doorstep when he shot a flying knife at me."

"And the poisoning of the old man, he probably had a hand in it as well."

"When the time comes, let the police check into it," Lu Xiao suddenly said.

He hadn’t been idle that afternoon either; he had been using his phone to look up the members of the Qin Family.

And he had seen Qin Li’s photo, which was exactly that of the guy throwing the flying knife from within the crowd!

Qin Shengqiang’s breath hitched, his face instantly turning pale.

"Of course, I can also let Qin Li off. I won’t mention him at all," Lu Xiao leaned closer to Qin Shengqiang and spoke slowly.

Looking at Lu Xiao, Qin Shengqiang saw the devil himself.

The implication of Lu Xiao’s words was clear; he would spare Qin Li, but with one condition.

And the condition was still the same: Qin Shengqiang... had to commit suicide!

"You have five seconds to think about it."

"Five... four... three..."

"Okay." His head hanging low, Qin Shengqiang let out a difficult growl from his throat.

He had to save his son.

Lu Xiao bent down and picked up a crossbow from the ground, thrusting it into Qin Shengqiang’s hands.

Qin Shengqiang’s gaze lingered on the crossbow, where the black arrow in the mechanism glistened with a ghostly dark gleam.

He had specially ordered this batch of crossbows for their high accuracy, low noise, and significant power.

He had never imagined that, in the end, he would be the one to die by this very crossbow.

"Your third and fourth brothers are here, you can begin now," Lu Xiao glanced at the courtyard gate.

Qin Shengbin and Qin Shengpeng had already rushed over, both wearing faces full of shock and anger.

"Qin Shengqiang! What the hell are you doing!" Qin Shengbin’s roar echoed through the old house.

Qin Shengqiang turned to look at his two younger brothers for one last time. We won’t be able to bicker with each other anymore; thinking about it, it was actually quite interesting.

"I, Qin Shengqiang, have dishonored our ancestors!" The next moment, Qin Shengqiang abruptly raised the crossbow in his hand, aimed it at his own heart, and resolutely pulled the trigger.

"Clang!"

The crossbow arrow shot out, straight into his heart.

Then, the arrow burst through Qin Shengqiang’s back and stuck into the ground.

Qin Shengbin and Qin Shengpeng, who were running frantically, seemed to have slammed on the brakes, freezing on the spot.

It wasn’t until Qin Shengqiang fell to the ground with a thud that the two of them trembled all over and came back to their senses, rushing forward quickly.

Lu Xiao couldn’t describe the expressions on the faces of Qin Shengbin and Qin Shengpeng at that moment.

Because it was strange, chaotic, filled with all sorts of emotions.

There was shock, panic, doubt, relief, joy...

It just seemed that the only thing missing was sorrow.
