Chapter 186: Self-Inflicted Suffering
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was only a bed, a desk, and a simple clothes hanger.
There was nothing on the desk except for a laptop and professional books.
It seemed that Accountant Li was a workaholic who devoted himself to his work and had no entertainment or personal life.
At least, that was how it looked on the surface.
Lin Bai looked around and his gaze finally landed on the laptop. His expression instantly turned cold.
He pushed Accountant Li into the house without saying a word and followed him in. He did not turn around quickly and blocked Wang Huaigu who was trying to follow him into the house.
“Go and do your thing. I have something to ask him alone.”
Lin Bai said to Wang Huaigu.
Wang Huaigu glanced at Accountant Li worriedly and said to Lin Bai softly, “Mr. Lin, show mercy. If you blow things up, it won’t end well…”
“I know. I know what to do.”
Lin Bai closed the door and locked it neatly. He turned around and said coldly to Accountant Li, “If you know what’s good for you, you can explain yourself.”
Accountant Li stared into Lin Bai’s eyes without saying a word.
He was desperately trying to activate his special ability to bewitch Lin Bai’s mind.
He was very clear that the things he had done would never be cleared no matter what.
Only by bewitching Lin Bai’s mind could he have a chance to escape!
For that slim chance of survival, even if he failed many times, he wasn’t willing to give up. He had to try until he succeeded!
However, in Lin Bai’s eyes, his struggle was futile and ridiculous.
“Save it. It’s useless even if your eyeballs pop out.”
Lin Bai said coldly.
Accountant Li tried all sorts of methods, but he still couldn’t use his superpower.
“What on earth did you do to me?!”
“I didn’t harm you. Why are you meddling in other people’s business?!”
Accountant Li was angry but didn’t dare to question him.
In the face of his question, Lin Bai went straight forward and punched Accountant Li in the stomach!
Accountant Li was instantly bent like a shrimp. He couldn’t even stand up. All the bile and gastric juice came out of his mouth.
His face was covered with tears and Snot. He looked as pathetic as he could be!
Lin Bai waited patiently for a while. When he was not in so much pain, he slowly asked him,
“How are you now? Can you hear me?”
“Nod if you can. Otherwise…”
Accountant Li did not wait for Lin Bai to finish his sentence. He nodded with all his might, afraid that his movements would not be big enough for Lin Bai to see through.
He had experienced how strong Lin Bai was. He did not dare to be unlucky again.
Accountant Li really could not understand. Lin Bai looked weak and harmless, but he was just a weak university student.
How could he be so strong? !
Furthermore, his previous grappling technique was quite professional. He could easily push him to the ground, and he couldn’t move at all!
Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh coldly when he saw how scared he was.
“I told you long ago. If you were more sensible, you would have told me yourself. But you didn’t. You had to ask for trouble. Who Can you blame?”
Accountant Li was speechless.
Don’t ask. It was so painful that he couldn’t speak.
If he asked again, he wouldn’t dare to say anything even if he could.
He didn’t have the habit of being abused.
Lin Bai casually pulled a chair over and sat down comfortably. He still said unhurriedly “First, you have to understand the current situation. Your little tricks are all useless in front of me. You Can’t beat me even if you fight with your physical strength, so you don’t have the right to ask me any questions. Just answer whatever I ask, understand?”
Accountant Li nodded with his hand on his stomach. His stomach was still churning.
He didn’t dare to open his mouth, afraid that he would blurt it out again.
Lin Bai’s punch just now was too fierce. It aimed at his stomach without any deviation. He didn’t want to experience that terrifying feeling a second time in his life.
“Secondly, just think of it as me showing you mercy because I’m in a good mood. I’ll tell you what you’ve done to provoke me.”
Lin Bai emphasized his tone and enunciated each word clearly:
“You are causing trouble in my territory. Shouldn’t I teach you a lesson?”
‘His territory?!’
Accountant Li raised his head in horror and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with difficulty, “You… You are Mr. Lin Bai? Lin Bai? ?”
Lin Bai leaned back in his chair calmly.
“Yes, it’s me. Now You know that you didn’t take that punch unjustly, right?”
“As I said before, if you know what’s good for you, just tell me the truth. I’ll save you some time and you won’t have to suffer.”
“If you have to ask for trouble, I have more torturing methods.”
“You can choose for yourself.”
At this moment, Accountant Li finally regretted it.
In the past, he only knew that Wang Huaigu’s partner’s name was Lin Bai, and he seemed to be a rich second generation heir. However, he had never met him before, nor did he know more about him.
He would never have thought that Lin Bai would be so powerful.
If he had known that Lin Bai’s supernatural ability was far above his, he wouldn’t have dared to have any devious thoughts even if he was gutsy!
“I’m sorry, Mr. Lin. I was blind. It was my fault!”
Accountant Li slapped himself from left to right.
“I really didn’t know that you had a superpower. It was my fault! It was my fault! Please be magnanimous and forgive me!”
Accountant Li really made up his mind and slapped himself as hard as he could.
In just a few words, he had slapped his own face until it was swollen.
Lin Bai just watched indifferently as he slapped himself. After he finished speaking, he spoke coldly.
“Not everything can be solved with a simple apology.”
“Today, we’re lucky that the explosives were discovered in time and the mine did not explode. What if it did? How many people would die? How big of a negative impact would it have on the Yunding Villa Project?”
“Such a big loss. How are you going to pay for it?”
Accountant Li did not know what to say. He could only kowtow to Lin Bai and beg for forgiveness in this way.
Lin Bai said coldly, “It’s not the new year yet. It’s too early to kowtow now.”
“Don’t do these meaningless things. If you want to live, answer my questions obediently. Don’t make me repeat myself for the third time.”
Accountant Li quickly stopped kowtowing and said, “If you ask me, I’ll definitely tell you everything I know and say everything I know! I Won’t dare to hide anything from you!”
His attitude was still alright, but whether he was really as honest as he appeared, that was not certain.
With a thought, Lin Bai instantly activated the divine level human discernment technique.
A translucent text box immediately appeared above Accountant Li’s head.
On it, there were 13 big words —
“Different from what he seems to be on the surface, greedy and lecherous.”
Lin Bai could not help but laugh.
‘He’s greedy by nature but he’s an accountant. Isn’t his job a test of his limits everyday?’
If he couldn’t control himself one day and misappropriates the company’s funds… Hah.
After laughing, Lin Bai felt a little sympathetic for Wang Huaigu.
Since he didn’t have the Divine-level ability to judge others, he could only judge Accountant Li based on what he saw on the surface.. He was creating trouble for himself by hiring such a greedy and lecherous person to be an accountant.
