The two lackeys exchanged a glance, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
They had thought it was going to be some big deal, but it turned out he just wanted a name!
Best of all, they would be free to go as soon as they spilled it.
One of the lackeys even entertained the thought...
If they gave up the name and ended up saving the whole crew...
Wouldn't that make them heroes in everyone's eyes?
"Boss, I honestly don't know his full name. All I know is that he's a young master with the last name Lei!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! His last name is Lei, I remember that too. There's absolutely no mistake."
Hearing this,
Lei Siren felt his legs turn to jelly as a cold sweat broke out across his back.
He racked his brain, desperately trying to come up with an excuse to slip away.
If he had even the slightest chance to save himself, he couldn't stay here and listen to any more of this!
The clues were already pointing straight at him!
They had even dropped his last name.
Considering it was the very first day Lin Yu had met Lei Siren in person, and he was suddenly being targeted by a young master named Lei...
...it would be a miracle if Lin Yu didn't connect the dots!
What was wrong with these two absolute morons?
Why were they answering every single question they were asked?
Did they have no professional integrity at all?
They should have been willing to take the secret of their employer to the grave!
But it was too late for that now.
Lei Siren's mind was racing, frantically searching for any excuse to make a temporary getaway.
He absolutely could not afford a direct confrontation with Lin Yu.
If nine thugs weren't a match for him, Lei Siren would be nothing but cannon fodder.
With this in mind,
Lei Siren shifted his feet, inching backward little by little.
In all likelihood, his image in Xia Yiwei's eyes was already ruined.
He would just have to find an opportunity to explain himself later, claiming that he had done it all out of his deep love for her.
But for now...
Escaping was the best possible outcome; nothing else mattered!
However, Lei Siren's thoughts were a bit too naive.
With Xia Yiwei right beside him, how could she give him even the slightest chance to escape?
Ever since Lin Yu started his interrogation, Xia Yiwei had been keeping a close eye on Lei Siren's every move.
At the slightest sign of trouble, he wouldn't be able to get past her!
Seeing Lei Siren shift his feet,
Xia Yiwei grabbed Lei Siren by the arm and said with a smile,
"Lei Siren, isn't this such a coincidence?"
"The guy trying to cause trouble for Lin Yu actually shares your last name!"
"There really aren't that many people with the last name Lei in Pingchuan, as you well know."
"When they get the name out of them, you should listen closely and see if you know him!"
Xia Yiwei's sudden physical contact would have thrilled Lei Siren to death under normal circumstances.
But now?
He felt nothing but pure terror!
He anxiously chimed in, saying,
"Haha, yeah, there really aren't that many Leis in Pingchuan City."
"What are the odds?"
After he spoke,
Lei Siren waited for Xia Yiwei to let go of him.
Xia Yiwei had always been repulsed by the idea of touching him before.
Grabbing his arm like this was surely just a fleeting gesture; she would definitely let go in no time.
Five seconds passed, then ten, then fifteen...
Lei Siren: "!!!"
What was going on with Xia Yiwei today?
She didn't show the slightest sign of letting go!
Come on, lady!
Now is not the time for romance!
My life is on the line here!
Meanwhile, Lin Yu's interrogation had reached another breakthrough.
Having obtained the last name Lei, he immediately pressed further:
"You two don't know his name, but what about the rest of you?"
The two lackeys replied with eager smiles,
"The others know! The two of us are new here, so we haven't met Young Master Lei yet."
"But they all know him. They've seen him plenty of times, so of course they know his name."
"Come on, guys, hurry up and tell the boss! What's Young Master Lei's full name?"
"Yeah! Once you say it, we can all get out of here."
Suddenly,
the atmosphere grew extremely awkward.
The rest of the thugs kept their heads down, none of them daring to make eye contact with Lin Yu.
They were terrified that Lin Yu would suddenly call on one of them to answer the question.
At this point,
the exposure of Young Master Lei's name was practically a foregone conclusion.
Even so,
no one wanted to be the one to say it out loud.
It would be best if someone else said it, so they wouldn't take the blame.
It wouldn't be a problem if only one person thought this way, but the problem was that everyone had the exact same idea!
Lin Yu had fully anticipated this situation.
He knew exactly what method to use to persuade them.
"It seems you all know, but you deliberately kept your mouths shut earlier?"
"Fine. I'll give the six of you one last chance..."
"I'm going to count to three, and you will all shout out his name at the exact same time."
"If anyone tries to trick me and gives me the wrong name on purpose, you know what will happen!"
"For every person who gets it wrong, everyone gets an extra kick!"
If he singled them out one by one,
they would likely be afraid of Lei Siren's retaliation and just give a fake name.
If the first person gave a fake name, the second person would look like a traitor if they told the truth.
To prevent this, he couldn't give them any chance to collude.
Having everyone shout the name simultaneously was the only way.
That way, whoever gave the wrong name would be the real traitor!
Lin Yu: "Three... two... one!"
All the thugs: "Lei Siren!!"
