704: Pick up your ears, I tell you to pick up your ears!!!

At this moment, Lin Xuan urged him again, his tone already showing clear impatience.

"Stop wasting time, hurry up and speak."

"..."

The Doctor, however, remained unhurried, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes as he seized the opportunity to propose various unreasonable conditions...

"Mr. Lin, I still need ten million US dollars as payment for providing the information."

"Additionally, you must guarantee my safety and arrange a new identity for me..."

"After all, this information concerns the lives of you and your wife!"

"It's perfectly reasonable for me to ask for some compensation, isn't it? Hehehehe—"

"..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan, anxious for his wife, had a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

He snatched the dagger from Li Jie's hand, flicked his wrist, and the dagger, like lightning, slashed across the Doctor's face.

"Thud—"

The Doctor felt a sharp pain in his left ear.

With a "thud," an ear fell to the ground, and blood instantly gushed out.

"Ah—!!!"

"My ear!!! My left ear, ah ah ah!!!!"

"..."

The intense pain made the Doctor let out a piercing scream.

He clutched his ear, looking at Lin Xuan in terror.

In his eyes, the other party now seemed like a demon crawled out of hell, making him even more afraid than Li Jie.

He never expected... Lin Xuan to be so decisive and ruthless, giving him no room to bargain at all—

Beside him, Li Jie was also stunned by his Boss's sudden action.

In his impression, Lin Xuan had always been a gentle and refined scholar, and he had never seen such a bloody and violent side of him.

What shocked him even more was... with his cultivation, that strike just now was so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly.

For some reason, Lin Xuan's silent back at this moment made a strange sense of awe surge in Li Jie's heart.

It was reverence for the strong, a fear that stemmed from instinct.

But wasn't Boss just an ordinary person?

How could he possess such terrifying skill???

At this moment, Li Jie's heart was full of questions... "If you say another word, I don't mind cutting off your other ear."

"..."

Lin Xuan looked at the Doctor expressionlessly, his voice as cold as ice.

The Doctor was so frightened that he trembled all over, no longer daring to act deceptively, and quickly spilled everything he knew.

"I'll tell! I'll tell everything!"

"It was Blackbelly Snake of the Dark Shadow Alliance who took the mission to target you and your wife!"

"..."

"Blackbelly Snake? What's his background?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Doctor quickly explained, wildly praising the other party's fearsome reputation:

"Blackbelly Snake is a top assassin of the Dark Shadow Alliance, an Inner Strength Martial Artist. I heard he once successfully assassinated a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

"He's ranked in the top hundred on the international assassin leaderboard, has killed countless people, and his methods are extremely cruel!"

"Those who died by his hand are no less than eighty, if not a hundred. Once he targets someone, they've never escaped..."

"His mission success rate is terrifyingly high, almost 95%."

"This time he's personally taking action, Young Master Lin, you... you're probably in grave danger!!!"

"..."

However, after listening, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, without any change, as if these words had no effect on him.

He just asked coldly:

"Who hired Blackbelly Snake? When are they planning to act?"

"..."

The Doctor shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"Young Master Lin, I really don't know this."

"We have rules in our line of work; the client's information is absolutely confidential."

"Even the assassin himself sometimes doesn't know who the client is, only caring about the payment."

"..."

Seeing Lin Xuan's displeased expression, the Doctor quickly added:

"However, based on what I know, Blackbelly Snake's move should be in the next few days."

"Young Master Lin, you and your wife might already be targeted!"

"I have some connections with Blackbelly Snake, as long as you let me go, I can act as an intermediary and help you negotiate! Try to get Blackbelly Snake to abandon this mission..."

"..."

Lin Xuan sneered, his eyes full of disdain:

"You, an intermediary? You're not worthy!"

The Doctor's face stiffened, and he wanted to say more.

But Lin Xuan had already turned and walked towards the door, dropping a cold remark as he exited:

"A-Jie, remember to clean up the body thoroughly."

"..."

Li Jie was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He had thought his boss would keep his promise and spare the Doctor... He didn't expect Lin Xuan to completely deviate from the usual script...

"Boss, don't worry, I'll handle it perfectly!"

"I'll grind this bastard to dust; not even a bone fragment will be left of him!"

"..."

Li Jie nodded frantically, his eyes filled with frenzied killing intent.

The Doctor: "(ΩДΩ)???!!!!!!!!"
