Chapter 378: Chapter 375

“Clean up yourself,”

Shen Lin: “…”

Damn.

Misfortune, it’s definitely misfortune!

Luckily, he hadn’t really done anything to her last night; otherwise, Lu Xiao would have torn him and his house apart!

**

After learning the entire truth about everything, Lu Xiao immediately told Wen Xian.

He reassured her, after all, she had been blaming herself.

Upon receiving this message and hearing his explanation, a huge burden lifted off Wen Xian’s heart.

A smile formed on her lips, feeling it was a fortune in the midst of misfortune.

Unexpectedly, it was his friend who had taken Little Zaijun away.

Indeed, those who became brothers with Lu Xiao weren’t too bad in character and kept their own principles.

When Lu Xiao texted again, he said he would come to pick her up in the evening.

But just then, the director called her to prepare for filming, and she had handed her phone over to Sister Ling and didn’t see the message.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiao went to the warehouse to deal with the man he had captured.

When dealing with some bad people, sometimes you can’t be too kind, or it serves no purpose.

As the warehouse door opened, there was a man sitting on a chair, fiddling with a lighter and smoking. As soon as he saw Lu Xiao, he immediately stood up:

“Captain Lu!”

Lu Xiao glanced at him, his gaze falling on the man tied to a chair opposite him.

This kid was already beaten black and blue, exactly the one who had sent money to Mr. Wu’s sister.

Lu Xiao asked, “What’s the situation now, have you found out anything?

“We got something. This kid is tough, probably received quite a lot of benefits. According to him, the one who made him do this is an assistant to the president of a listed company in Beijing.

But would an assistant dare to do such illegal activities? It must be that assistant’s boss.”

With that, he revealed the crucial information:

“It seems to be a new energy company, the person in charge is surnamed Li. He said he doesn’t know much else.”

The man speaking now was named Chen Hai.

He had served in the military but didn’t return to his hometown after and stayed to work as a bodyguard for his father.

As he finished speaking, Lu Xiao’s expression slightly tightened.

He stared at the battered man, then turned to Chen Hai and uttered a few words: “Fill the bucket with water.”

“Yes.”

Chen Hai immediately went to the warehouse faucet, grabbed the long hose, and began filling the bucket.

The man tied to the chair stared fixedly at Lu Xiao, his cheeks still swollen, showing a stubborn face as if he’s not afraid of boiling water.

Lu Xiao didn’t waste words.

He stood there, silently smoking a cigarette. When the water was almost full, he walked over and grabbed the man by the hair.

In the midst of his shrieks and terror, he pressed his head down into the bucket–!

The icy cold water of winter instantly submerged his neck.

The man struggled desperately, bubbles frothing in the bucket.

Lu Xiao timed it, and when he pulled him up by his hair, the man started coughing violently, shaking all over, his face turning purple.

But the man beside him just leaned down slightly, slowly exhaling smoke, covering his face with it.

When Lu Xiao spoke again, his voice was still calm, yet each word was thick with threat:

“Hmm? What’s the person in charge’s name, Li what?”

The man trembled all over, truly realizing that he was dealing with a ruthless character. Shivering from the cold, he stammered:

“Li, Li Tingze.”
