Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

"As for why..."

Pei Qinghai stretched out his voice and revealed a mysterious smile.

"I can't tell you this."

Chu Longtu was not surprised at all, he had known that Pei Qinghai would not say it.

If it were him, he would not tell the core secrets of the plan. On the contrary, if Pei Qinghai told him, Chu Longtu would not dare to believe it. Who knows if Pei Qinghai had set some trap for him?

But Li Jingzong, who was being controlled on the side, couldn't take it anymore. He stared at Pei Qinghai with wide eyes.

Chu Longtu doesn't want to know, but he wants to know!

Why should I pit him?

Why should he be used to drag the Li family into trouble?

He wanted to know clearly, even if he died, he wanted to know clearly!

Li Jingzong struggled frantically, but his small arms and legs were controlled by three members of the hound recovery team, and he couldn't even move his body a little.

However, Pei Qinghai and Chu Longtu didn't even look at him. They just stared at each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

Pei Qinghai looked at Chu Longtu with a faint smile and spoke with interest.

"Since you've already guessed it, there's no need for us to beat around the bush."

"You have already caught the person, so please take action now."

Pei Qinghai stretched out his hand and made a sign of please, signaling Chu Longtu to take action against Li Jingzong.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingzong struggled even more violently, his eyes filled with despair and fear. He looked at Chu Longtu pleadingly, like a puppy desperately trying to survive.

Chu Longtu glanced at him, his eyes as cold as a glacier that had been there for thousands of years without the slightest wavering, and then he looked back at Pei Qinghai.

"Since I already know that you want me to kill him and drag the Li family into this situation, if I still kill him according to your plan, wouldn't that make me look really stupid?"

"Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Chu Longtu looked at Pei Qinghai sarcastically, but Pei Qinghai remained calm and continued to speak with a smile.

"Of course you are not that stupid. You are even extremely smart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen through my plan at a glance."

"But even so, you will definitely kill him."

"Because you have a reason to kill him."

Chu Longtu seemed to understand something and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Pei Qinghai also glanced at Gan Shaohua at the same time. Gan Shaohua nodded to indicate that he understood. He took out his mobile phone and clicked it. Then he pointed the screen at Chu Longtu and said in a cold voice.

"Look at the people here. Do you know them?"

Chu Longtu looked at the screen of his mobile phone, which showed an extremely dim room.

In the middle of the room, there were three people sitting on chairs with their hands and feet tied, unable to move at all. Their heads were drooping weakly and their faces could not be seen clearly.

A man entered the picture, walked behind the three tied people, grabbed their hair and pulled their heads up, revealing three dirty, pale faces.

The moment he saw those three faces, Chu Longtu's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, but then returned to their original state in an instant.

"Tang Zhengfeng, Tang Qingyi, Tang Qinghe."

"It turned out that you were the ones who kidnapped the Tang family."

Chu Longtu's tone was as cold as ice as he slowly uttered the names of the three people. Who else could they be if not the kidnapped members of the Tang family!

A biting chill rose from Chu Longtu's body and in an instant swept in all directions like a storm, causing Gan Shaohua and Yuan Feng to shiver uncontrollably.

Pei Qinghai seemed not to notice, still looking at Chu Longtu with a smile and spoke readily.

"Yes, I kidnapped them and imprisoned them."

"Now, I will use their three lives to exchange for Li Jingzong's life."

"If you kill Li Jingzong, the three people from the Tang family can live."

"If you don't kill Li Jingzong, three people from the Tang family will die."

"It's that simple, you choose."

Pei Qinghai smiled even more brightly.

"I am indeed threatening you with the lives of these three people, but I will not force you."

"You can choose to save the three people from the Tang family and kill Li Jingzong. You can also choose not to be hostile to the Li family, so let Li Jingzong go and watch the three people from the Tang family die."

"It's up to you to choose."

"Of course, my personal suggestion is to kill Li Jingzong and save the three people from the Tang family."

"After all, in terms of personal relationship, Li Jingzong and you have never met before, but the Tang family has a close relationship with you. They even used their remaining power to issue you a casino and arms franchise license when they evacuated Jiangdong."

"Just this one item alone, I don't know how much wealth it will bring you."

"If it weren't for the Tang family, you wouldn't be able to open the casino you're planning now."

"It can be said that without the Tang family, you wouldn't have the foundation you have in Hedong today."

"If you sacrifice the Tang family and watch them die without taking any action, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid no one will dare to cooperate with you in the future."

"Who would want to associate with a cold-blooded guy who can watch his benefactor die without taking any action?"

Pei Qinghai spoke leisurely and contentedly, with a very frivolous tone.

Chu Longtu ignored Pei Qinghai, stared at the phone screen, and spoke in a cold voice.

"I need to confirm their identities and whether they are still alive."

Pei Qinghai nodded.

"Of course, no problem. We have to inspect the goods before doing business. I know the rules."

"Shaohua."

Gan Shaohua immediately took the order and spoke directly into the phone.

"Wake them up."

The man on the other end of the phone received the order and without saying a word, he slapped Tang Zhengfeng and the other three people hard.

The crisp sound made Chu Longtu's eyes even colder, and the intense pain also awakened Tang Zhengfeng and the other two who were in a coma.

Tang Zhengfeng and the other two groaned and opened their eyes with difficulty. However, they were dazzled by the light from the mobile phones facing them and immediately closed their eyes again.

The man didn't care about them. He roughly pried open Tang Zhengfeng's eyelids, forced him to look at the phone screen, and said rudely.

"Look here and state your identities."

"hurry up!"

The man shouted loudly, and Tang Zhengfeng trembled with fear.

Many days of imprisonment had already tortured them beyond recognition. When they heard the man's order, they spoke almost reflexively.

"I'm Tang Zhengfeng, from the Tang family in Jiangdong. I came to Hedong for..."

Before he could finish his words, the man slapped Tang Zhengfeng in the face again, interrupting him.

"Nonsense, I asked you to reveal your identity, who asked you what you came to Hedong for?"

"You two, report your identities as well, quickly."

Tang Qingyi and Tang Qinghe were so frightened when they saw Tang Zhengfeng's miserable condition that they trembled and revealed their identities with trembling voices.

"I am Tang Qingyi, the daughter of Tang Zhengfeng."

"I'm Tang Qinghe, Tang Zhengfeng's nephew."

After they reported their identities, the man tapped the camera.

Here, Pei Qinghai was also looking at Chu Longtu with a smile.

"How is it? It's genuine, right?"

Chu Longtu still didn't look at Pei Qinghai, but looked at the phone screen and spoke in a deep voice.

"Minister Tang, I'm Chu Longtu."

When Tang Zhengfeng on the other side of the screen heard this, his body trembled again, and then he opened his eyes wide, trying to see the person on the screen clearly.

"Chu Longtu? Is it really you?"

"You didn't lie to me, are you really Chu Longtu?!"

Tang Zhengfeng suddenly became excited, and his voice became sharp and high-pitched.

Not only him, Tang Qinghe and Tang Qingyi also became excited after hearing Chu Longtu introduce himself. They stared at the screen with wide eyes and started crying at the same time.

"Mr. Chu, please save us!"

"Mr. Chu, please save us."

When the two people started crying and shouting, it suddenly became extremely noisy, and the voice of Tang Zhengfeng who wanted to say something else was suppressed.

The man standing in front of them suddenly became unhappy. He reached out and slapped each of them loudly, cursing loudly.

"Are you guys fucking mourning?"

"Shut up!"

"If you dare to open your mouth again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Tang Qingyi and Tang Qinghe were beaten again. After hearing the man's cruel threats and considering their already weak bodies, they became so angry, anxious and scared that they actually fainted!

Chu Longtu looked at the tragic situation on the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes became increasingly cold, and he stared at the man who was showing off his power.

"Boy, you are very arrogant. I will remember you."

When the man heard Chu Longtu's words, he just turned around and looked at the screen. Then he continued to pull Tang Zhengfeng's hair with an expressionless face to make him look at the screen, without saying a word.

Pei Qinghai had already spoken with a smile.

"Mr. Chu, he is my man and he will do what I tell him to do."

"You're standing in front of me and threatening my men. Isn't that a bad idea?"

Chu Longtu glanced at Pei Qinghai coldly.

"Do you think you can run away?"

After cursing, Chu Longtu looked at the screen again and took a deep breath.

"Minister Tang, I now know about your affairs."

"Don't worry, I will rescue you no matter what."

"Before that, you must stay calm. No matter what they do, don't provoke them. Wait for me to save you."

Upon hearing this, hope appeared on Tang Zhengfeng's face again and he nodded repeatedly.

"no problem."

"Mr. Chu, I leave everything to you. Please..."

Before Tang Zhengfeng could finish his words, the phone screen suddenly went black, and there was no image at all.

Gan Shaohua put away his phone and stepped back.

Pei Qinghai looked at Chu Longtu with a smile and didn't mind Chu Longtu's threat just now.

"How is it, Mr. Chu?"

"Now that you've met someone, can you tell me your choice?"

Chu Longtu did not answer him directly, but took a deep breath.

There is no problem with the identities of Tang Zhengfeng and the other two, they are indeed them.

A person's face can be disguised, but his voice cannot be disguised.

Everyone's voiceprint is unique. It is an innate attribute that cannot be faked by any master of disguise!

After Chu Longtu's spiritual power increased greatly, his five senses became more acute, and he could even clearly remember the characteristics of each person's voiceprint.

When Tang Zhengfeng and the other two spoke just now, their voice patterns were exactly the same as in Chu Longtu's memory, which proved their identities.

Once the identity is verified, we can discuss the next transaction.

Chu Longtu suppressed the burning murderous intent and boiling anger in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Pei Qinghai, and said in a cold voice.

"my choice?"

"Oh, do I have a choice?"

"Pei Qinghai, I know you are a hypocrite who likes to act. I didn't expect that you would still be acting even at this point."

"In your plan, have you ever made a choice from the beginning to the end?"

Pei Qinghai raised his eyebrows and uttered only one syllable.

"Oh?"

Chu Longtu looked at Pei Qinghai with a sneer.

"Stop acting your disgusting hypocritical kindness. You're addicted to it, aren't you?"

"Whatever you say, I can make the choice of who lives."

"Everyone is under your control, what should I choose?"

"If I choose to sacrifice Li Jingzong and save the people of the Tang family, will you hand them over to me immediately?"

"If I kill Li Jingzong, the Tang family members who are no longer useful will die in the next second!"

"Because you never intended to let them live from the beginning. They are just a tool for you to force me to kill Li Jingzong and drag the Li family into the water!"

"Perform this in front of me. Do you really think I'm a rookie who just debuted?"

The more Chu Longtu spoke, the more the anger that was suppressed in his heart boiled over, and he even laughed out of anger.

He took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, lit one and took a deep puff. After half of the cigarette was burned, Chu Longtu exhaled a large puff of smoke towards Pei Qinghai.

In the hazy smoke, Chu Longtu's vague face looked even colder.

"Now that things have come to this, let me tell you about today's plan."

"They tricked me here by saying they were going to join forces against Pei Runnian, and at the same time, they brought the illegitimate child of the Li family here, and staged a scene in front of me to irritate me and let me take down the illegitimate child."

"At the same time, you threatened me with the lives of the Tang family and asked me to kill the illegitimate son of the Li family and complete your plan to drag the Li family into the water."

"And then, you didn't keep your promise and let the Tang family go."

"Because they no longer need to leave. They were just tools you used to threaten me."

"You don't even want to let me leave alive, let alone the Tang family?"

Chu Longtu took another deep breath, finished his cigarette, exhaled the smoke again, roughly crushed the burning cigarette butt with his index finger, and looked at Pei Qinghai with ridicule.

"Today was originally a killing game against me."

"Even I am going to die here, how can these tools of the Tang family who have lost their usefulness be spared?"

"Pei Qinghai, do you think I'm right?"

When Chu Longtu said the word "killing game", Gan Shaohua and Yuan Feng suddenly became nervous, and the bodyguards standing in front of them also tensed their muscles instantly.

Chu Longtu glanced at them indifferently, with even more ridicule in his eyes.

"Look at your behavior. Why are you so nervous?"

"With your low level of mental ability, you dare to imitate others and kill people and set fires?"

"waste."

Chu Longtu cursed wantonly, causing Gan Shaohua and Yuan Feng to show a hint of anger in their eyes, but they just looked at Pei Qinghai and did not dare to get angry at all.
