Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"Elder Shen, do you want to experience being stepped on again?"

A male voice came from the side. Shen Kun looked over and saw Ji Xianchen looking at him sinisterly.

Shen Kun suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, as if the pain from being kicked by Ji Xianchen had come back again.

"Your name is Ji Xianchen, right? Just wait, I will avenge that kick sooner or later." Shen Kun gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"I'm at your service anytime." Ji Xianchen didn't care at all and spoke in a light tone. His calm look made Shen Kun even more angry.

Shen Kun glared at him, then turned and left angrily.

Hua Xi didn't listen to the quarrel between the two men. She concentrated on fiddling with the syringe in her hand. She poked the syringe into the potion, and after drawing up half of it, she picked up the arm of one of them, inserted the needle into him, and slowly pushed the potion in.

This action was repeated more than ten times until everyone had been injected with the antidote.

Gradually, those people began to regain their strength and were able to move one by one.

Some of those who recovered faster were able to sit up and thank Hua Xi.

There were also a few people who expressed their gratitude and apologized at the same time.

Because they had participated in the operation to hunt down Hua Xi ordered by Li Qingchi.

Amidst all the cries of thanks, Hua Xi just looked at these dozen people with a calm expression.

The number of people is obviously wrong. There are more than thirty missing people, but there are only eighteen of them.

The dozen or so missing people were probably the first group of people whose blood was drawn, and they are most likely no longer alive now.

However, there is still a possibility. Hua Xi asked, "Is Lin Jingyi among you?"

Lin Jingyi is Zhang Dingkai's elder brother. The two brothers have different surnames because one takes his father's surname and the other takes his mother's surname.

Someone answered: "Jingyi...is already dead."

This sentence seemed to trigger their anger, and everyone slapped the metal bed beneath them and started cursing.

"Damn it! We worked hard for the Li family, but in the end they brought us to this place and sucked our blood day and night. This is totally unjust!"

"So what if they are from an aristocratic family? Can they just take human lives so lightly?!"

"Brothers, when we get out, we must make the crimes of the Li family public, let everyone know their true colors, and seek justice for our dead brothers and ourselves!"

"..."

As these indignant words came one after another, a calm voice with an irresistible tone sounded:

"can not say."

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see Hua Xi's face looking stern.

She spoke again and emphasized: "Don't say a word."

"Why can't we say it? Are we just going to swallow our anger in silence?" someone shouted unconvinced.

Hua Xi looked at the man and said slowly: "I will save you, but the condition is that you don't make this matter public."

"Miss Bai, are you going to protect the Li family?" Someone was so angry that he asked Hua Xi sternly, "That's right, you are a member of the Li family, so you should naturally side with the Li family."

But there were also rational voices: "We are very grateful to Miss Bai for saving us, but you may not understand what we have experienced. This is really hard to swallow, so we must report the Li family, even if it means offending the aristocratic family."

"Yes! That's right! We must make the Li family pay the price!" Everyone became more and more excited, and the situation was temporarily out of control.

There was one person who remained quiet from beginning to end and did not join the crowd in making noise. That person was Xiaowu.

Because Ji Xianchen was standing next to him.

That was his master, and in front of him, he felt he had to be more steady.

At this time, Xiaowu looked up at Ji Xianchen, and seeing that he was frowning, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After thinking for a while, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't get excited. Listen to what Miss Bai has to say. Since Miss Bai saved us, she won't harm us. She must have her considerations for not letting us speak."

After hearing this, everyone quieted down a little and turned their eyes to Hua Xi, waiting for her further explanation.

Hua Xi glanced at Xiao Wu, and then said: "I have a very important person in Li Qingchi's hands, so I can't let you hurt her. It would be best if you cooperate. If not..."

"What if you don't cooperate?" someone asked anxiously.

"Then I can only kill you."

Everyone gasped when they heard this. No one expected Hua Xi to say such a thing.

"Now everyone outside thinks you are dead, so I will kill you now, and no one will know that it was me who did it."

Hua Xi's serious expression showed that she was not joking. If they insisted on telling others what happened here, she would really kill them.

She would never allow anyone to endanger Hua Chaochao's safety.

Anyway, these people were saved by her... and Ji Xianchen. If it weren't for the two of them, these people would have died from excessive blood loss soon.

Hua Xi thought it was a fair deal to save their lives in exchange for them shutting up.

But this is her own idea, Ji Xianchen may not think so.

Hua Xi then turned her gaze to Ji Xianchen, wanting to see what his attitude was.

Ji Xianchen understood what Hua Xi meant and said, "I have no objection."

Of course he supports Hua Xi, and he also wants to save Hua Chaochao.

So as long as Hua Chaochao could be saved, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Hua Xi's approach.

"You are threatening us!" someone shouted indignantly, "We have been tortured by the Li family to this extent, and we can't even tell the truth? Are we just going to swallow this loss?"

Hua Xi glanced at the man coldly, and the man was intimidated by her aura and shut his mouth instantly.

But his face was still full of unwillingness.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a deadlock.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly broke the silence: "Everyone calm down and listen to me."

"I don't think this request is excessive. If it weren't for Miss Bai, we wouldn't be standing here right now. We can't repay kindness with hatred. The Li family did such a cruel thing, and they will get retribution sooner or later. There is no need to rush. I hope everyone will think about it carefully. If we keep it secret, we can survive. In the end, we have won."

After hearing what Xiaowu said, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, someone sighed and said, "Longge is right. We can't repay kindness with enmity."

Someone else echoed, "Yes, it's important to save your life first. There will always be a chance for revenge in the future."

"Okay, I promise. I promise not to say a word after I get out."

"Me too."

"Count me in."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and even the man who was indignant just now lowered his head and whispered, "Okay, I won't say anything either."

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Xiao Wu said to Hua Xi, "Miss Bai, you see we have all agreed. If you are still worried, we can write a letter of guarantee."

Hua Xi said calmly: "No, you can go now."

After expressing their gratitude to Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen again, everyone left one after another.

Before Xiaowu left, Ji Xianchen whispered a few words in his ear. Xiaowu was stunned at first, then nodded solemnly and followed the others.
