"Do you have the right to ask questions now?"
Lily sneered while Jo felt the knife's tip pushing deeper into his flesh.
The pain of the blade penetrating through his skin and the fear that he might be dead the next minute
made his attitude soften.
"D -Don’t do this! L-Let’s talk it out!"
"Sure.Let’s talk then.Who ordered you to do this?"
Lily, with her head, tilted to one side, asked.
When they were in the car earlier, Lily sensed something was off.
Lisa would have called Lily beforehand if she genuinely had problems or difficulties on her end.
However, Lily could not get through to Lisa's phone number, and ultimately, Lisa's phone got turned
off.It meant that Lisa faced a severe problem, and she should have sought help from her father.It did
not make sense that she looked for Lily.
Hence, Lily felt they were here for her, not because Lisa sent them here because she was in trouble.
In that case, Lily played along, wanting to find out what they were up to while she searched for the
mastermind behind this plan.
"We can’t reveal our boss’ identity," Jo thought briefly before saying coldly.
"Wow, you sure have your professional ethics in check," Lily mocked, using the knife to tap his cheek.
"It seems you don’t care about your own life, do you?" Jo just pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lily could tell that he cared about his life from his tensed jaw and the popping veins on his forehead.
However, he could not continue working in this field if word of his revealing his employer got out.
That was equivalent to ruining his career.
They understood the industry's rules clearly, so the essential thing they needed to do was keep their
employer’s identity confidential.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"You're not afraid of dying?" The knife sliced through his neck, creating a tiny cut slowly.
Lily controlled her strength well, so the dagger had only cut the surface, not the flesh within.
That hurt the most, however.
Jo could no longer hold the pain in, as shown by the slight change in his expression.
Even so, he stayed silent, determined to say nothing about the topic.
Lily wanted to continue but suddenly looked toward the door and whispered lowly, "Fine.Someone else
will tell me even if you don’t!"
Before Jo could guess what Lily meant, Lily had struck him on the back of his head with her hand.He
fell to one side, totally blacked out.Then she used the rope from earlier to tie him up securely.She
wanted to move him to the side, but he was heavy, and time was running out for her.
Looking around the room, she finally pulled the blanket from the bed to cover him up.
Simultaneously, someone knocked on the door.
"Jo, don’t go overboard."
It was the driver, Leonel.
As Jo had been in the room for a long time, Leonel assumed that he must have done something to Lily.
Although their employer did not have other orders for them, it was best not to go overboard.
If Jo were to cause too much damage to Lily, they would not be able to explain it to their employer later.
Christopher, who was the head of the pack, told Leonel to go and check on Jo.
Barefooted, Lily walked to the door, her hand gripping tight on the knife as she locked her gaze on the
door.
"Jo, Christopher told you to be gentle to the girl.If you go too rough on her, it’s hard for us to explain to
our boss later.Jo."
Leonel knocked on the door but got no response, so he went to open the door instead.The door was
not locked, so it easily opened when Leonel turned the doorknob.
The room was dim, but the bedside lamp was on.
Leonel saw the bump under the blanket right away and laughed.
"Wow, this looks intense! Jo, don’t be too rough on the girl!"
That was what Leonel said, but he went forward to take a look.He was not here to make Jo stop but to
watch the show.
"Jo, I'm talking to you.Jo..."
