Then Tell Me, How Did You Get These Wounds on Your Body?

Since he wasn't on the list, it was quite evident to Huo Qingqu that the so-called list in Huo Qing'ang's hands was fake. Otherwise, how could his own name be absent from it?

This realization instantly relieved Huo Qingqu's suspended anxiety. His tone was no longer as harsh as before, and he seemed to relax. "Qing'ang, you're overthinking it. Big brother just wanted to know which despicable individuals were trying to threaten my little brother from behind by purchasing this information."

Such a noble lie was delivered with such conviction by Huo Qingqu that anyone who didn't know his true nature would believe his words instantly. If it weren't for the fact that he had almost strangled Huo Qing'ang just moments ago, even Huo Qing'ang might have fallen for his deceit.

Without waiting for Huo Qing'ang's response, Huo Qingqu continued indignantly, "You can tell big brother, and big brother will make sure to deal with them appropriately!"
