Chapter 659 Sacrificing Money to Save Life
A sudden awakening was triggered by the splashing of cold water on his head. The next moment, Dai Hexuan's screams echoed in the room as he curled up on the floor, his right hand a bloody mess.

Cold sweat soaked through his Tang suit, and each breath was accompanied by excruciating pain. He trembled as he raised his left hand, trying to touch the wound, but the intense pain forced him to pull it back.

"Damn it, damn it..." he cursed through gritted teeth, his vision blurring. The chill from the cold water being poured over his head still lingered in his hair, mixed with the smell of blood, making his stomach churn.

"bite_"

Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette with a lighter, looked at Dai Hexuan's terrified face, and heard him hoarsely shout, "Call an ambulance!"

"Don't worry, you won't die," Gao Dongxu said with a joking laugh.
"What exactly do you want?" Dai Hexuan looked at Gao Dongxu, who was like a devil. He had been in the underworld for decades and had seen all kinds of people. He knew that he had really met a ruthless person today.

"It's not about what I want, but what you want," Gao Dongxu said with a smile. "Let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the department specifically responsible for managing and handling talented individuals in the country..."

Dai Hexuan was startled, staring wide-eyed at Gao Dongxu, speechless, making gurgling sounds in his throat.

“If you were truly a person of extraordinary ability, then everything would be fine. Unfortunately, you are a charlatan. You have two paths: either die or confess your crimes and go to jail for a few years.” Gao Dongxu looked at Dai Hexuan with a mocking smile.

"..." Dai Hexuan looked at Gao Dongxu with fear on his face and said in a trembling voice, "I'm willing to accept the punishment, I'm willing to pay any amount of money, can I please not go to jail?"

"Do you keep a diary?" Gao Dongxu suddenly asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Dai Hexuan was a little taken aback, looking completely bewildered.

"Huh? I'm asking you, do you write a diary?"

"No, I won't write it. What decent person writes a diary..." Dai Hexuan said hurriedly and nervously when he saw Gao Dongxu's expression change.

"Damn, what kind of decent person are you—" Gao Dongxu said with a slightly disappointed laugh. He raised an eyebrow slightly: "So, all these years, none of those female disciples and customers you've cheated on kept any souvenirs?"

"Huh?!" Although Dai Hexuan pretended to be surprised, Gao Dongxu caught the panic and shock in his eyes.

"Hehe, as expected, how could a pervert like you not leave behind images to reminisce and feel smug?" Gao Dongxu laughed.

"No, no, how could that be... Ah, ah, no, don't smash it, don't smash it, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything—"

Dai Hexuan forced an awkward, dry laugh onto his pale face, which was covered in cold sweat, and tried his best to deny it with his eyes darting around. However, the next moment, Gao Dongxu suddenly reached out and grabbed Dai Hexuan's left hand and pressed it onto the table, while his other hand reached for the ashtray. Dai Hexuan was so frightened that he almost wet his pants and screamed in terror.

"Where did you put the things?" Gao Dongxu held up the ashtray, looking like he was going to smash it if you didn't tell him.

"Upstairs, upstairs safe..." Dai Hexuan shouted without hesitation.

"You guys wait downstairs, I'll go up with him and take a look—" Gao Dongxu put down the ashtray, stood up, grabbed Dai Hexuan, who was slumped on the floor, by the back of his neck in his Tang suit, and carried him like a chick, dragging his feet on the ground towards the stairwell.

The people in the living room just watched silently as Gao Dongxu brazenly bullied the pitiful Dai Hexuan.

Upstairs in the study, Dai Hexuan, who had been thrown onto the carpet by Gao Dongxu, endured the pain in his right hand, got up from the floor, glanced at Gao Dongxu who was already sitting in the boss's chair, smiling at him, and then knelt down with a thud.

"I'm willing to pay 100 million, please let me go. I'll leave the country immediately and never come back."

"Hehe, it seems you've really lied quite a bit over the years," Gao Dongxu said jokingly.

"I'm willing to give you all my properties and all my collections—I can't go to jail, I'll die! Please give me a way out."

Dai Hexuan knew better than anyone that once his identity was exposed, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries he had deceived would definitely make him commit suicide and shut his mouth forever to prevent their secrets from being leaked, and of course, to save face.

Therefore, both of the choices Gao Dongxu gave him were actually dead ends.

In order to save himself, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and risk everything to save his life.

"Hehe, you're quite a character," Gao Dongxu said with a smile. To be honest, he really admired the other party; he was decisive enough. "As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Your assets are definitely more than this. Your backup plan abroad is probably your greatest asset."

Dai Hexuan's eyes widened in panic. Looking at Gao Dongxu's mocking expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred million, plus a Jun porcelain tripod basin! All my properties in China..."

Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at Dai Hexuan kneeling on the ground, his fingers tapping casually on the armrest of the executive chair.

Dai Hexuan stared intently at Gao Dongxu, awaiting his fate.

"I don't like squeezing toothpaste. One hundred million US dollars, and I'll spare your life," Gao Dongxu said indifferently to Dai Hexuan.

"This..." Dai Hexuan looked troubled and conflicted. One hundred million US dollars had almost emptied his savings. Although he could still live a wealthy life after leaving, it would definitely not be enough to enjoy life freely.

It's better than losing your life!

“Okay!” Dai Hexuan didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately looked at Gao Dongxu and agreed.

"Hehe, you're indeed a smart man," Gao Dongxu said with satisfaction. "Open the safe."

Without hesitation, Dai Hexuan stood up, walked to the bookshelf, moved an oil painting aside, revealing a safe embedded in the wall behind it.

"The password is..." Dai Hexuan said to Gao Dongxu as he entered the password, "You can reset the password later."

"Click——"

The safe door popped open, and Dai Hexuan opened it, then obediently stepped aside, letting Gao Dongxu check it himself.

At the bottom of the safe was a row of CDs in a transparent plastic box, followed by ten bundles of US dollars, ten bundles of euros, and an unknown number of bundles of RMB, a bulging paper bag, and on top of that was a brocade box and some gleaming gold bars.

Gao Dongxu smiled and reached out to take out the brocade box. He opened it and saw a Jun porcelain tripod water basin.

Upon handling it, Gao Dongxu felt a chilling sensation and smiled with satisfaction, "It is indeed genuine."

Gao Dongxu looked at Dai Hexuan, who had a big smile on his face, and the next moment, the brocade box disappeared from his hand.

"what!"

Dai Hexuan cried out in surprise, his eyes widening as if he were seeing things. He stared intently at Gao Dongxu's hand, his lips trembling, looking at Gao Dongxu with disbelief, and swallowed hard.

"You, you..."

"Hehe, don't you know how to do this kind of trick?" Gao Dongxu teased jokingly.

What the hell is this illusion?!
Dai Hexuan was naturally very familiar with the tricks of swindlers, which is why he understood that Gao Dongxu's actions were not a mere illusion, but a genuine display of power and special abilities.

Dai Hexuan has now truly admitted defeat. The other party is a true master, someone he has been searching for his entire life but has never been able to meet.

I never expected to meet you like this.

"Grandmaster--"

Dai Hexuan knelt down again and this time began to kowtow.

"Bang bang bang-"

After kowtowing three times, Dai Hexuan looked at Gao Dongxu with fervent eyes and said, "Please, Master, accept me as your disciple. I am willing to offer everything to support you—"
