When he suddenly heard Tang Shan mention that name, Huo Qi’s heart skipped a beat. His left hand that was holding the pistol subconsciously tightened. He looked up at Tang Shan, and a hint of danger and darkness flashed across his eyes.
However, Tang Shan didn’t seem to notice Huo Qi’s reaction at all. He stared into Su Qing’s eyes with a strange expression and didn’t even care if he was still facing the black muzzles above his head. He leaned towards Su Qing and asked hoarsely, “You’re from Sky Splitter, right? What’s your relationship with Pu Wei? Why are you with Huo Qi?”
As soon as Tang Shan’s question fell, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately fell into a strange silence. Su Qing looked at Tang Shan in confusion. She didn’t know why this person would ask her these irrelevant questions.
She didn’t know what Sky Splitter was, nor did she know who Pu Wei was, nor did she understand why Tang Shan would link her to that person!
Furthermore, Tang Shan’s current state was also very strange and unusual.
Su Qing looked at Tang Shan deeply for a long time, as though she wanted to see something from his expression. However, Huo Qi, who suddenly moved, interrupted her thoughts!
Huo Qi observed Su Qing in silence for a while. The gun in his hand suddenly pointed gently at the table in front of them. His subordinates immediately understood and pressed Tang Shan down on the table. They even grabbed Tang Shan’s arms, preventing him from moving at all.
“It seems like you know a lot. You even know who Pu Wei is!” Huo Qi said in a low voice. He leaned slowly towards Tang Shan, who was on the table. When the cold iron in his hand hit Tang Shan’s side profile, he continued, “I’ll give you a third choice now. Tell me where Pu Wei’s nest is, and I’ll spare your life! How about that? Isn’t it worth it?”
Seeing that Tang Shan was unmoved and was just looking at him coldly, Huo Qi sneered indifferently, his eyes filled with cold killing intent!
Huo Qi naturally didn’t have to do such a thing himself. Huo Yun understood and moved the gun away from Tang Shan’s head, shooting at his calf, which was kneeling on the ground. It was merciless and clean.
Tang Shan’s involuntary cry of pain rang in his ears. Huo Qi frowned slightly and asked calmly, “How is it? Have you thought it through? Are you going to do this ‘deal’ or not? If you continue to pretend to be confused, I’ll really cripple you! You’d have profited if you exchanged your legs for the destroyed branches of the Huo family a month ago! Right, Third Master?”
Tang Shan was tortured by the gunshot wound on his calf and almost fainted. However, when he heard Huo Qi’s question clearly, he was still shocked and was frozen to the ground.
At this point, Tang Shan finally understood. It turned out that Su Qing wasn’t deliberately plotting to trick him when she said that Huo Qi and her had something on him. They had really grasped the fact that he had once colluded with Sky Splitter to attack the Huo family a month ago!
No wonder Huo Qi looked so confident when he interrogated him just now. It turned out that he had really come prepared. No wonder Huo Qi only gave him two choices the moment he opened his mouth.
Either he would tell them everything honestly, including the attack on the Huo family’s branch last night, or he would smash his Seven Treasures Pavilion and stop him from holding the Heavenly Treasures Auction anymore. He even said that he wouldn’t make things too difficult for her on account of their long-standing friendship!
Thinking about it this way, Huo Qi was really ruthless and smart! With a head full of sweat and a pale face, Tang Shan thought wildly.
As he marveled at Huo Qi’s intelligence and ruthlessness, he was also extremely worried for himself. This was because he also knew that he had already missed the only way out that Huo Qi had left for him. Huo Qi’s cold sneer just now should be mocking his arrogance and stupidity!
Tang Shan continued to think in a daze. He lay on the table in front of Huo Qi and panted in a sorry state.. When he spoke, he continued in a low voice, “Huo Qi! Do you think you’ll really win if you kill me like this? Hahaha! Dream on! You probably don’t know that you were tricked, right? Sky Splitter’s saint envoy and their new saint have been waiting for you here for a long time!”
