My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen looked at Bai Maogong's terrified expression, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. He continued to ask, "Who do you obey?" There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Bai Maogong replied hastily, "I am not taking orders from anyone. The entire Amei Group belongs to me. Although America controls a large portion of the group's shares, they never interfere with my operations. This time I targeted the Lin family purely for personal revenge. I have a deep hatred with the Lin family, so..."

At this point, his voice trembled slightly, and a trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had no way out at this moment, and could only pin all his hopes on Xiao Chen's magnanimity.

A crisp and heart-pounding breaking sound echoed in the air. Xiao Chen suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Bai Maogong like a ghost, kicking him hard on the right knee.

Bai Maogong only felt an unprecedented terrible pain coming from his knee, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing into it at the same time, or as if he was burned by a raging fire. The pain was so severe that he almost fainted.

His right leg instantly lost its supporting strength and fell limply to the ground. His knee was twisted and deformed, and blood seeped through his trouser legs, staining them red.

Bai Maogong's face was instantly filled with pain and fear. He opened his mouth wide, but could only make faint groans, like a wild beast captured by a hunter, struggling in despair.

"To be honest, my patience is limited." Xiao Chen's voice was extremely cold, like the chilly wind in winter, penetrating Bai Maogong's body and reaching deep into his soul.

His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination and coldness, as if he had made up his mind to completely destroy Bai Maogong's will.

"Next time, it will be the other leg." Xiao Chen's words were like the judgment of the god of death, causing an unprecedented fear and despair to surge in Bai Maogong's heart.

He understood that he had completely fallen into Xiao Chen's control, and his life and death depended on his will. He trembled, trying to find a glimmer of hope to escape, but in the end he bowed his head helplessly and accepted his fate.

"It's Mr. Jin!" Bai Maogong's voice trembled with fear, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing the mystery and terror of the person behind him.

"Mr. Jin? Who is he?" Xiao Chen's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of doubt and vigilance. To him, this so-called Mr. Jin was like an unknown creature that suddenly walked out of the fog, full of strangeness and danger.

Bai Maogong shook his head helplessly, the sweat on his face slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the floor, making a subtle but clear sound.

"I really don't know, I really don't know!" He repeated incoherently, as if trying to alleviate his inner fear and anxiety.

"One night a few months ago, I received a mysterious call from Aramco. The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and mechanical. They gave me a number and said that I must obey the orders of the other party unconditionally whenever I receive a call from this number. The person behind the number called himself Mr. Jin."

At this point, Bai Maogong's eyes flashed with fear. "Because the other party used a voice changer during the call, the voice was sometimes sharp like a female voice, and sometimes deep like a male voice. I couldn't tell the other party's gender and identity. Mr. Jin was like a ghost, existing on the other end of the phone line, controlling my every move."

"The other party gave me a clear order at that time," Bai Maogong's voice was low and trembling, as if he had returned to that night shrouded in fear.

"That is to take the legendary treasure from Lin Yue. I thought, isn't this just right? Lin Yue and I have an irreconcilable feud. I can take this opportunity to use Mr. Jin's power to destroy Lin Yue in one fell swoop and get my revenge."

"Besides, I am now the chairman of the Amei Group. Mr. Jin promised to let me use all the power of the Amei Group. In this case, it's just a matter of dealing with a mere Lin Yue. Isn't that easy? I agreed without hesitation, and you know what happened afterwards."

There was a hint of complacency and pride in Bai Maogong's words, as if he had really reached the pinnacle of power.

"The other party did not reveal his identity. I still don't know where he came from. I have never even met him. The only thing I know is the phone number hidden in the dark and the mysterious way he called himself every time he called me - Mr. Jin."

At this point, a trace of confusion and fear flashed in Bai Maogong's eyes, as if there was an endless abyss hidden behind that phone number that could swallow him up at any time.

"But this person must have a close connection with the top management of America, otherwise it would be impossible for him to control the entire Amei Group so easily and give me such great power."

Bai Maogong's words were full of awe and fear for Mr. Jin. He knew very well that although he sat on the chairman's throne, he was actually just a chess piece in Mr. Jin's hands, a puppet being manipulated.

"To be honest, even though I am the chairman of the Aramco Group, this position seems to be very prestigious, but in fact I have no freedom at all. I take every step very carefully, for fear of angering the mysterious person behind the scenes."

There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in Bai Maogong's voice. He knew very well that his fate was in the hands of Mr. Jin and he could not escape.

"Everything I said is true, without any falsehood or exaggeration." Bai Maogong's eyes became firm and sincere, as if he was trying to prove his innocence to Xiao Chen. There was a hint of pleading and hope in his tone, hoping that Xiao Chen could believe him and understand his situation.

Xiao Chen's eyes were like a touch of frost in winter, falling lightly on Bai Maogong. He took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and his eyes became more profound in the smoke. Then, he slowly spoke, with a barely perceptible chill in his voice: "You were the one behind the loan, right?"

Bai Maogong's expression changed slightly, but then he regained his composure. He quickly admitted:
"Yes, the business world is like a battlefield. Sometimes you have to resort to some means to gain benefits. There was nothing wrong with what I did. After all, I used the powerful connections of the Ami Group to get that thing done. Unfortunately, I failed to achieve my goal in the end."

While saying this, Bai Maogong secretly observed Xiao Chen's expression, fearing that Xiao Chen would get angry and kill him. (End of this chapter)
