Chapter 387: His Patience is Limited
Gu Qiaoâan forced himself to be calm, still pretending, âYoung Master Li, I really have no idea who you are talking about. Which âsheâ?â
âDonât know?â he said, full of mockery.
Having spent decades in the shopping centers, Gu Qiaoâan was no ordinary person, with outstanding psychological quality. Even under the oppressive grandeur of Li Beijue, it was rare for him to maintain his composure, âI truly donât know who you are referring to. Young Master Li, you barged into my company, there must be a reason. You say Iâve hidden someone, please present the evidence, and we can proceed with legal procedures.â
If they went through legal procedures, that woman would have been devoured bone and all by them!
Li Beijueâs eyes narrowed fiercely, a storm brewing in their depths.
Despite his effort to control it, it was clear that a towering rage was about to break free.
He suddenly stood up, walked over to Gu Qiaoâan, and looked down at him from above, âDo you think I would come to you without evidence?â
Gu Qiaoâanâs heartbeat missed a beat.
He quickly reviewed how he had arranged for Chi Enen to be abducted, confirming that he had left no evidence behind. Then, calming down again, he feigned a smile that did not reach his eyes, still saying the same thing, âThe police will be here soon, Young Master Li can proceed through legal channels.â
No sooner had he spoken, a sharp small knife was thrust into the office desk in front of him. The blade was sharp and cold and even Gu Qiaoâan, usually so composed, now broke into a cold sweat.
Struggling to raise his head, âWhat does this mean, Young Master Li? This is a company! In the office! There are surveillance cameras here, arenât you afraidâ¦â
Li Beijue gave a nod to someone beside him, and immediately a person understood and located all of the surveillance cameras in the office, destroying them all.
âMaster Jue, the check is complete.â After doing all this, he respectfully returned to Li Beijueâs side and reported calmly.
Li Beijueâs icy gaze returned to Gu Qiaoâan, his thin lips parted and came together, utterly chilling, âNot anymore.â
Gu Qiaoâan was shocked to his core.
He simply didnât understand what relationship that illegitimate daughter had with Li Beijue before him, that this person of great importance would go to such lengths for her!
He was even more resolute in his decision to remain silent.
After all, just this morning he had told Xiao Ya the hiding place of the illegitimate daughter. With Xiao Yaâs character, she would definitely still be in that abandoned factory.
If Li Beijue were to find his way there, wouldnât Xiao Ya be finished?
Gu Qiaoâan was already regretting his impulsive agreement to help Chi Ya take revenge; but there was no such thing as a regret medicine in this world. He could only tough it out until the end.
Gu Qiaoâan steeled his resolve, his demeanor settled, âI still say the same, Young Master Li, I do not know who you came to find.â
âChi Enen,â Li Beijue cut straight to the point, without wasting words.
Gu Qiaoâanâs gaze didnât waver at all, âChi Enen? How would I know where Chi Enen is? Could it be that youâve mistaken the person, Young Master Li?â
This old guy wants to stall for time!
Li Beijueâs face darkened, no longer able to control the tyranny in his eyes. He grabbed Gu Qiaoâan by the collar and pinned him against the wall.
With a bang, Gu Qiaoâanâs back hit the hard wall, the pain causing sweat to pour down.
âSpeak, where is Chi Enen!â
âYoung Master Liâ¦â
Li Beijue cut him off, âI would advise you not to test my patience; my patience is very limited! Iâll give you three seconds to think, and for every incorrect answer, I want one of your fingers. You have ten chances.â
Gu Qiaoâanâs eyes widened in disbelief!
Had he gone mad?!
