Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 669 - 517: Do You Believe in Shixiu!

The car finally arrived at Tianjin Port at half past five in the evening.

By evening, the day’s heat had somewhat dissipated. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Get out of the car, Mr. Yin."

Following the young man, Yin Shixiu entered a medium-sized warehouse closest to the harbor.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, a humid and fishy smell hit him.

Once Yin Shixiu was inside, the warehouse door closed behind him.

Soon after, the lights in the warehouse came on. Though it was past five, the sky outside was still bright, with the sunset stained blood red.

Through the vent windows above, the entire warehouse appeared much brighter.

"What are you doing here!"

The first to speak was surprisingly Su Chengji, who usually didn’t talk loudly.

Su Chengji was bound to a stone pillar in the middle of the warehouse.

The gentle middle-aged man was now covered in blood stains, his T-shirt torn into strips.

Su Chengji widened his eyes, the bloodshot veins in the whites of his eyes were terrifyingly red!

Yin Shixiu knew what he was here for, but shouting it out now was truly sorrowful and painful!

He didn’t respond to Su Chengji, as saying more was meaningless.

Yin Shixiu’s gaze fell on the man sitting next to the stone pillar, a tiger skin draped over the long chair, making the early summer feel even more oppressive.

Shi Shengde’s hair was slicked back brightly.

His clothes were neatly worn, and the feet clad in high-end leather shoes rested sideways on the tiger skin.

His sturdy arm was resting on his bent knee.

"Yin, the Fourth Young Master, what courage."

Shi Shengde gave a thumbs up,

"I thought you’d be picked up by the police before you got here!"

Yin Shixiu smirked,

"Same to you. So this is Mr. Shi’s second test."

"If you can’t even pass this, then there’s no need to stand before me for me to personally deal with you."

Shi Shengde spoke, raising a hand.

A nearby subordinate walked up to Yin Shixiu with a coil of hemp rope,

"Mr. Yin, pardon me."

The young subordinate’s tone carried a mocking glee, as he took the rope and tied up Yin Shixiu!

Two loops around, and Yin Shixiu was securely bound.

"Mr. Shi’s hospitality is certainly unique."

Shi Shengde chuckled lightly and then said,

"I heard you caught Yin Shiqing and gave him a beating the other day?"

"..."

Shi Shengde’s gaze turned cold, he raised a hand, and the subordinate who had been tying up Yin Shixiu delivered a punch to Yin Shixiu’s abdomen!

After the punch, there was a follow-up knee strike!

With several punches, Yin Shixiu didn’t make a sound!

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

The assailant, tired from hitting, stood aside to catch his breath.

Shi Shengde raised his eyebrows high, "Just like your father-in-law, no sound even after being hit over and over."

Yin Shixiu spat out blood and looked up at him,

"Enough nonsense, let my dad go. As for the rest, whatever you want, just say it."

Shi Shengde coldly replied,

"Yin Shixiu, do you regret this now?"

"Regret what?"

"Regret taking action against Shengde..."

"Just a little."

Yin Shixiu murmured.

Shi Shengde’s lips curved even more, he sneered and said,

"Did you think defeating Shengde, taking down the Shi Family would mean disabling Yin Shiqing’s two arms?"

"Yeah, how could I view the Shi Family as Yin Shiqing’s limbs? I should say Yin Shiqing is merely an accessory to the Shi Family. Alas, nephew has been foolish, confusing the cause and effect."

Shi Shengde snorted,

"Knowing now isn’t too late."

Yin Shixiu looked at Shi Shengde resolutely, noting that just behind Shi Shengde stood seven or eight men.

Each looked like a formidable fighter, their exposed tattoos seemed to leap from their bodies vividly.

At the warehouse door, there were also seven or eight guards.

Yin Shixiu did not doubt that this port’s distribution center had dozens, if not hundreds, of people ready in ambush.

Shi Shengde appeared fully prepared.

What made Yin Shixiu feel suspicious was that in the corner of this damp, fishy-smelling warehouse, there was surprisingly a place that was cleaned exceptionally well.

There was a desk and two chairs placed in that corner...

Shi Shengde followed Yin Shixiu’s gaze to that corner and asked flatly,

"Doesn’t it look quite familiar to you?"

Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrows.

"The interrogation room at the police station is about the same, of course, the environment there is better, but still just one table, two chairs."

Shi Shengde said, then extended his hand, pointing to that spot,

"I sat there, for a whole three days, fainted from hunger and thirst. Nowadays, the police are truly formidable..."

"..."

"Using this method to torture people..."

"I think Mr. Shi is much more formidable than the police, after all... escaping from prison, you’ve done it successfully."

"Have you watched a movie?"

Shi Shengde asked, "The Shawshank Redemption."

"Seen a bit."

Shi Shengde’s lips curled into a smile, his face showing unabashed pride,

"I’m like that bird that flew out of prison, thinking that four walls could trap me? How naive, right? Fourth Young Master Yin..."

Yin Shixiu remained silent, just looking at Shi Shengde.

"But what I’m really curious about is, when did you find out I’m involved in drug trafficking and smuggling?"

"I just happened to find out."

"Happened... I think it’s your wife’s uncle, that policeman called Bai Sidong, right?"

"..."

"This Bai Family policeman doesn’t know how to adapt at all, has a baby-faced appearance, yet insists on playing the hero..."

While speaking, Shi Shengde lit a cigarette.

Smoke rose gently, enveloping Shi Shengde’s vision in a perfect scene of everything being under control.

"No rush, I’ll take care of you, then I’ll take care of him."

After saying this, Shi Shengde raised his hand again,

"Go, pack up Fourth Young Master Yin’s father-in-law and box him up."

"Shi Shengde, what use is there in taking his life?"

Yin Shixiu’s heart tightened.

"Don’t worry, why would I take his life? You don’t know your father-in-law, he doesn’t look strong, but he’s really quite stubborn. Boxing him up is for convenience."

"..."

Su Chengji looked at Yin Shixiu with eyes full of despair.

Shi Shengde indeed boxed up Su Chengji just as he said.

It was a wooden box, and after Su Chengji was thrown inside, only his head could be revealed, while two subordinates nailed the box shut with wooden strips.

After boxing, a rope as thick as a wrist was threaded through the box, slowly sliding up along a fixed pulley that had long been suspended at the warehouse ceiling.

The top of the warehouse was five to six meters from the ground.

It wasn’t until Su Chengji was suspended that Yin Shixiu saw the bottom of the box Su Chengji was in was actually very weak wooden strips.

From Yin Shixiu’s angle, he could even see the wooden strips slightly arc due to Su Chengji’s weight pressure.

Terrifying.

Sweat seeped from Yin Shixiu’s back.

"I’m already fifty, I’ve lived long enough... Do you think they want this old life of mine? Shixiu... you’re so confused..."

Su Chengji murmured.

This weak voice made Yin Shixiu’s heart feel even more troubled.

"If something goes wrong because you came... What will Xiao Meng and the children do?"

"Dad, don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Yin Shixiu said.

"That’s right, Mr. Su, no need to worry, your grandson-in-law is very filial, he’ll do anything and everything to save you."

Shi Shengde said with a smile.

Su Chengji’s current condition wasn’t good, his face devoid of color, after being tortured for a whole day, he was already drained.

He had injuries all over, and the pain from sweat stinging his wounds was like ants gnawing at him.

"Shixiu! You absolutely cannot fall into this villain’s trap! Don’t do anything foolish for me..."

Su Chengji felt overwhelmingly guilty at this moment, if he had known, he should have killed himself, thus avoiding his son-in-law being threatened because of him.

"Dad!"

Yin Shixiu looked up, shouting fiercely at Su Chengji.

Su Chengji lowered his eyes to look at him...

Yin Shixiu’s lips curled slightly, still showing calmness, he asked,

"Do you believe in Shixiu?"
