"Regardless of whether you did it or not, I heard that her disappearance is related to Nu Gui, so you have to help me find her."
"Find her now, immediately, or you'll prepare to eat your own brains!"
Ning Beichen said this while menacingly tapping his dagger on Charles's face.
"I... I'll immediately send people to investigate for you," Charles quickly agreed.
But what he was actually thinking was that as soon as he escaped this man's threat, he would kill him first.
Help him find someone?
In his next life!
However, how could his thoughts be hidden from Ning Beichen? Ning Beichen saw many people with such thoughts every year.
So Ning Beichen didn't say a word and directly used his dagger to draw a turtle on Charles's face.
Charles screamed repeatedly, but no one inside dared to move. They could only watch as Ning Beichen drew a bloody turtle on Charles's face with his dagger.
"I don't like to waste words, nor do I like people playing tricks with me. When I say you'll eat your own brains, I'm absolutely not bluffing. I'll give you one more chance, take me to find Nu Gui. Remember, this is your last chance."
After drawing the turtle, Ning Beichen said to Charles expressionlessly.
Charles trembled all over from the pain, but he didn't dare to move, nor could he, because Ning Beichen was choking his neck. This time, he was truly terrified, terrified to his very soul.
"I promise, I promise."
Charles shouted with all his might. Because he couldn't breathe, his fear overshadowed the physical pain, and he even felt like he had already stepped across the threshold of hell, just needing one last push.
Only then did Ning Beichen release him and calmly said, "I don't care what tricks you play, because no matter what tricks you play, I guarantee that you will be the one who dies."
Charles repeatedly said he dared not, at least he dared not now, and honestly told Ning Beichen.
He said that although he had some connection with Nu Gui, it was only in business, and he wasn't really one of Nu Gui's people.
Furthermore, his influence was far from comparable to Nu Gui's, and even he dared not offend Nu Gui.
But Ning Beichen didn't care about any of this. As long as he found Nu Gui, he would have his answer.
What influence or lack thereof? Ning Beichen scoffed. When your fists are bigger than theirs, you are the biggest influence. How powerful could Nu Gui's influence be compared to him, the King of Darkness?
If Isabella was fine, everything would be negotiable. If things were really related to Nu Gui, Ning Beichen would not only uproot them but also grind their bones to dust!
When Charles was brought out of the room by Ning Beichen, he saw that all his elite subordinates outside the door were gone. Only then did Charles dare to truly believe that Ning Beichen hadn't been bluffing.
My God!
He was just one person!
Who on earth was this terrifying guy?
Charles was extremely shocked in his heart.
These elite experts were all cultivated with great expense over the years, each capable of fighting ten or even a hundred retired elites, but now they were all dead, and it looked like they didn't even have a chance to fight back before they died.
But Ning Beichen didn't care about Charles's grievances. If you don't want to be wronged, don't do such a wicked thing. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences.
It was fine before because he hadn't provoked someone he shouldn't have.
There's a good saying in the ancient Eastern country: "Walk too many night roads, and you'll eventually encounter ghosts."
So now Charles had encountered someone he shouldn't have offended. He could only blame himself.
As they went downstairs, the two thugs at the bottom who hadn't stopped Ning Beichen from going up stood at attention and bid them farewell when they saw Ning Beichen and Charles together.
See, this distinguished young man was indeed an honored guest invited by the boss. Fortunately, they hadn't stopped him at the time.
Meanwhile, Kangpu, who couldn't go up and was still trying to figure out how to get Ning Beichen out, nearly popped his eyes out when he saw Ning Beichen and Charles walking down side by side.
Not only was Ning Beichen unharmed, but Charles also seemed to be showing him respect.
However, with his sharp eyes, he inadvertently noticed a turtle drawn on Charles's face.
Although Charles had wiped off the blood from his face when he came out, the traces of the turtle were still there, which was not so easy to erase.
Seeing Ning Beichen and Charles walking out, Kangpu quickly followed.
"Mr. Ning, do... do you know each other?"
Kangpu asked somewhat uncertainly, because no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see them as acquaintances. Instead, he saw the fear in Charles's eyes towards Ning Beichen.
"That's right, Charles and I are old friends. Isn't that right, Charles?"
Ning Beichen asked, patting Charles's shoulder forcefully a few times.
"Yes, yes, yes, we are old friends."
Charles replied with tears he couldn't shed. Could he say no at this moment?
Don't be fooled by his smiling face; when he gets serious, he's more ruthless than anyone else.
Kangpu looked half-believing, but he couldn't find any other explanation.
Even if Ning Beichen told him that he had fought his way in and almost made Charles kneel and call him dad, would Kangpu believe it?
"Do you know where Nu Gui is?"
Ning Beichen didn't have much time for jokes. He was always worried about Isabella's situation.
"I know."
Charles replied honestly.
"Then take me to find them now."
Ning Beichen said.
Charles nodded, then shook his head, asking Ning Beichen with a look of astonishment.
"Are we just going to find them like this?"
"Otherwise? Should I beat gongs and drums and present them with a banner?"
Ning Beichen glared at Charles menacingly, scaring him into nodding quickly, not daring to utter a peep.
However, for the sake of his own life, he finally mustered the courage to say to Ning Beichen.
"Nu Gui has many people, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you one of them?"
Ning Beichen patted him on the head and said.
"No, no, I just, I just occasionally provided them with some supplies and buyers. I don't have much dealings with them."
After being hit on the head by Ning Beichen, Charles didn't dare to resist and instead honestly answered Ning Beichen's question. This made Kangpu behind him open his mouth wide in surprise again.
"I don't need you to have any dealings with them. I just need you to take me to find them. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ning Beichen stared at Charles and asked.
Charles nodded fearfully, and without saying anything more, he honestly led Ning Beichen to find Nu Gui.
