Chapter 709 I Want to Find Out

"Xinxin, you are still too kind." Lin Ke shook his head, "This matter is not as simple as you think. I suspect someone is behind this."

"Who would order him? He doesn't even know me." Wang Xinxin asked in confusion.

"This is exactly what I want to find out." A gleam of light flashed in Lin Ke's eyes, "Xinxin, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you, Brother Ke." Wang Xinxin said without hesitation.

"Okay, then come with me." Lin Ke said, stood up, and pulled Wang Xinxin to the next room.

In the room, Tian Chao was tied to a chair, his face covered in bruises, and he had obviously suffered a lot.

When Tian Chao saw Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin coming in, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Tian Chao, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, who ordered you to do this?" Lin Ke asked coldly.

Tian Chao looked at Lin Ke, then at Wang Xinxin, his eyes flickering.

"Tell me! If you don't, I'll make you pay for it!" Lin Ke slammed the table, scaring Tian Chao so much that he trembled all over.

"Yes... yes..." Tian Chao stuttered, "Yes... Mr. Lin asked me to do it..."

Wang Xinxin exclaimed and looked at Lin Ke in disbelief, "Brother Ke, is what he said true?"

"It's true. Mr. Lin gave me some money and asked me to put a dead mouse in your package, saying that he wanted to teach you a lesson..." Tian Chao was so scared that he was incoherent.

"What?!" Wang Xinxin exclaimed, looking at Lin Ke in disbelief, "Brother Ke, is what he said true?"

Lin Ke didn't say anything, but just looked at Tian Chao coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through him.

Tian Chao felt uneasy when Lin Ke looked at him. He avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Let me ask you again, who ordered you to do this?" Lin Ke's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

Tian Chao stammered and was unable to speak. He did not dare to say Wu Yikang's name because he knew that Wu Yikang was a desperado. If he knew that he had betrayed him, he would never let him go.

"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Lin Ke said, taking out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket, pressing the button, and the blade popped out with a "swish", flashing coldly under the dim light.

Wang Xinxin was shocked when she saw the knife in Lin Ke's hand. Although she knew that Lin Ke was venting his anger on her, she was still worried that he would do something extreme.

"Brother Ke, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over nicely." Wang Xinxin pulled Lin Ke's sleeve and advised softly.

Lin Ke patted the back of Wang Xinxin's hand, signaling her to rest assured, then turned to look at Tian Chao and said in a cold tone: "I'll ask you one last time, will you tell me or not?"

Tian Chao looked at the knife in Lin Ke's hand, and then at Wang Xinxin's anxious eyes. He knew that he had no way to escape today. Instead of suffering physical pain, it would be better to tell everything. Perhaps he could get Lin Ke's forgiveness.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, it was... Wu Yikang, he ordered me to do it!" Tian Chao finally broke down and told everything in one go.

"Wu Yikang?" Wang Xinxin was stunned when she heard the name. She remembered that Wu Yikang was the beggar she met at the entrance of the studio that day. "It was him, it was him. He followed me that day and put a note in my nanny car, saying that I should be careful or he would ruin my reputation." Wang Xinxin said, taking out the note from her bag and handing it to Lin Ke.

Lin Ke took the note and looked at it carefully. The handwriting on the note was crooked, as if it was written by an elementary school student, but there was a chilling chill between the lines.

"Why did Wu Yikang do this?" Wang Xinxin asked puzzledly.

"Because he is jealous of you. He is jealous of your youth and beauty, jealous of your successful career, and even more jealous that you have an outstanding man like me by your side." Lin Ke said in a cold tone, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Just because of this?" Wang Xinxin still found it hard to believe. She never thought that a person would do such a crazy thing out of jealousy.

"Xinxin, you are too kind. You have no idea how many people in this world are hiding in the dark, eyeing you covetously." Lin Ke said, hugging Wang Xinxin into his arms, and said gently, "But don't worry, I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

Wang Xinxin snuggled in Lin Ke's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt extremely secure and warm in her heart.

"Brother Ke, thank you." Wang Xinxin raised her head and looked at Lin Ke, her eyes full of gratitude and love.

Lin Ke looked down at Wang Xinxin in his arms, his eyes full of pampering and love. He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Silly, why thank me? It is my responsibility to protect you."

Lin Ke looked at the note in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming fierce, like an enraged lion, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Tian Chao, call and ask Wu Yikang to come out for me." Lin Ke's tone was cold and contained an unquestionable command.

Tian Chao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lin Ke would want to face Wu Yikang directly. You know, Wu Yikang is a desperado who can do anything.

"Mr. Lin, this... this is too dangerous. Should we... should we call the police?" Tian Chao stuttered. He didn't want to get into trouble.

"Call the police?" Lin Ke sneered, "Do you think the police can do anything to him based on just a note? Besides, I can't wait that long."

Lin Ke's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he saw through Tian Chao's thoughts, "Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, I promise that nothing will happen to you."

Tian Chao looked at Lin Ke's eyes and felt a chill in his heart. He knew he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay... okay, I'll call, I'll call..." Tian Chao took out his cell phone from his pocket with trembling hands and dialed Wu Yikang's number.

The call was connected, and Tian Chao followed Lin Ke's instructions and made an appointment with Wu Yikang to meet at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, saying that he had a big business to discuss with him.

Wu Yikang already held a grudge against Tian Chao for what happened before, and when he received his call, he was hesitating whether to keep the appointment, but when he heard the words "big business", he was immediately moved.

"Okay, wait, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Wu Yikang hung up the phone and rushed to the agreed location impatiently.

An hour later, Wu Yikang arrived at the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. The factory was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight shining through the dilapidated windows, making it look particularly eerie and terrifying.

Wu Yikang walked in cautiously, looking around vigilantly as he walked, fearing that there might be an ambush.
