Chapter 459: Chapter 456
Not far away was an old Beijing firepot restaurant. When Lu Xiao’s car passed by, the nearby people all involuntarily shifted their gazes toward it, their eyes twinkling with a meaningful, profound gleam.
The car finally stopped in front of the repair shop.
The group standing at the entrance, each dressed in suits, seemed respectable, but an aggressive aura enveloped them.
Lu Xiao got out of the car, locked the door, and faced the scene as if it all was expected, completely unfazed. His lean and icy eyes harbored a detached coldness, indicating he didn’t take these men seriously.
Step by step, Lu Xiao walked over, and the people by the door parted, leaving the door open for him.
A man in a suit opened the door, a narrow metal entryway that only allowed one person to pass. The man, expressionless, said, “Go in. Our boss Li is already inside waiting for you.”
The interior of the repair shop was spacious, with several cars undergoing maintenance in the depths.
However, near the entrance, there was a large round table with an old copper pot firepot in the middle, mist drifting around it, and the table laden with various firepot delicacies and meats.
People surrounded the table, seated all around, and Lu Xiao glanced over them.
Eleven people.
With him, that made twelve.
And Li Tingze was sitting right in the middle, leisurely enjoying the firepot.
After Lu Xiao entered, the narrow door behind him suddenly slammed shut with a bang.
He slightly glanced behind, a trace of coldness flickering in his eyes.
“Ha, this guy actually dares to betray Boss Li, I see you don’t want to live, who the hell gave you the courage—!” Suddenly, a man’s coarse voice erupted from the side of the table, followed by a vicious kick that sent a shadow kneeling on the ground flying.
Amidst this sudden turn of events, Lu Xiao then noticed there was a person kneeling beside Li Tingze.
He was kicked into the wall and then fell hard to the floor, looking utterly disheveled.
The man howled, his face bruised and lips bleeding. Yet even so, Lu Xiao recognized him at a glance.
This person was the same kid he and Shen Lin had caught to probe for the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was also from him they learned that the person who wired money to Wu’s sister was Li Tingze’s assistant.
Afterward, Lu Xiao followed the lead and quickly gathered some criminal evidence.
However, the evidence he had so far wasn’t enough to put him behind bars permanently, and in order to eradicate the problem from its roots, today’s banquet, seemingly an arrangement of Li Tingze to set a bloody, gory trap, fit perfectly into his own plans.
At this moment, Li Tingze, looking at Lu Xiao, leaned back slightly. Dressed in a white shirt and a tie, he appeared every bit the corporate elite, but his words were anything but civil.
He looked at Lu Xiao, the corners of his lips slightly upturned: “Mr. Lu, I apologize for this scene, just taking the opportunity to dispose of some useless trash.”
Lu Xiao’s expression remained unchanged, but his aura grew more intense.
He could tell at a glance that all those sitting here were skilled individuals. It seemed that they did not intend to let him leave this place unscathed today.
Then, Li Tingze gave someone a look, and instantly, an assistant in a black suit closest to Lu Xiao stepped forward, holding a scanner to scan—
