"So let's start with this question first. Who is your master? So far you have been working on somebody's order. Who is it? Who is this mastermind who's pulling all the strings from the dark?" Long Xun questioned seriously.

Li Youbin was alarmed. His heartbeats increased and he panicked hearing Long Xun's questions. How? How can Long Xun know about this? Is he bluffing or does he know about their plot? How can Long Xun know that he was working on his master's order? Then... then does he know about Housekeeper Qin too? Is this the reason why he didn't see Housekeeper Qin in the house? Did Long Xun do something him? Is their Master's plan for so many years gone in vain?

Many questions haunted Li Youbin but he didn't know the answer to any of them. At this moment, he was scared. A complicated and struggling expression appeared on his face. He had to think about everything thing before saying and doing anything.

He is still unaware of how much Long Xun knows about their plan. If he just bluffing about this then it is good but it Long Xun really knows something then whatever they were planning for so many years will be lost.

"C'mon speak fast. I don't have much time to waste on you. Who is your master?" Long Xun questioned with an impatient look.

Li Youbin glanced at Long Xun carefully before he showed a confused expression on his face. "I, I don't know what you are talking about," he told. Denying that he had a master was a better option that Li Youbin chose for himself and his master. Now was not the time for his Master's identity to be revealed in front of these people. He couldn't take that chance.

Long Xun laughed. "I am asking you for the last time Li Youbin. Tell me, who is your master? What grudge does he have with my Xiaolu? What is his motive?"

Li Youbin looked at him Long Xun with a firm expression. "I don't know what you are talking about. I have no master. This was all done by me because Li Xiaolu is an orphan and I considered her as the slave of my Li family. That's it."

"Tsk...tsk... I never considered you as a loyal person Li Youbin. Now, I am really interested in this master of yours." Long Xun sneered, "Who is it that can have your loyalty?"

"Think carefully Li Youbin. My patience towards you has a limit. Don't make me angry. Your wife and your daughter are in my hands. My one command and many bad things can happen to them. I'll ask you again, who is your master?" Long Xun questioned.

"I DON'T HAVE A MASTER! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" Li Youbin spat.

"Looks like your master is more important to you than your wife and your daughter." Long Xun commented.

Long Xun was sure that this Li Youbin was somebody's puppet. He was working on somebody's order because he noticed something while Li Youbin was in the banquet hall. He was speaking over the mic with a mechanical voice so that nobody would hear his real voice. He wanted his identity to be hidden and hence he was speaking through the mic.

According to what he planned, everything was being done in Li Roulan's wedding. At that time when we speaking, he noticed that Li Youbin looked scared. He reprimanded his own daughter and asked her to be respectful toward him.

Why?

At that time, this question bugged him. Only people who had connections with the people in the underworld knew about his identity. Only they feared him and respected him. Looking at Li Youbin's fear and by his behavior, it was clear that he knew that it was him(Long Xun) who was talking over the speaker.

All of this made one thing clear for Long Xun that this Li Youbin was dancing on somebody's tunes. From the time he adopted Li Xiaolu, to abusing her, to betray her, everything was down on somebody's order. Why? Why Li Xiaolu? What was the reason? What is this person gaining from harming her?

Long Xun didn't have an answer and only one person can tell him that. That is Li Youbin. And that's why he didn't do anything to Li Roulan yet. He wanted to give them more than physical torture. He wanted them to suffer from mental torture.

He glanced at Li Youbin's wife and laughed. "Women, do you want me to let your daughter go?" he asked.

"Women, get your husband to open up his dirty mouth and tell me what I want to know. I promise you that I'll let you and your go if your husband opens up his mouth. Otherwise, I make sure to make your daughter's life a living hell." he threatened.

Yu Rushi didn't look up at him. Keeping her head down she sobbed hearing her daughter's scream. She was in a predicament. She didn't know what to do. One side was her husband while on the other end was her daughter. She knew that her husband was very loyal to his master because they were under his debt. But at the same time, she was also aware of the fact that Li Youbin loved their daughter more than her and he would do anything to save Li Roulan.

Long Xun's words were echoing in her ears but could she trust him? He wanted to avenge Li Xiaolu and he was doing all of this for her. Would he let them go? Will he keep his promise?

Yu Rushi knew that she couldn't trust Long Xun so she chose her husband. "I am sorry... Please let me daughter go," she begged.

Long Xun's brows twitched in anger. He got up for his chair and he laughed, "Great! This is just great. Li Roulan would be glad to know that her parents don't care for her."
