Fear flashed across Li Tianlai's face. He was truly terrified.
He knew about the poison Gao Wei had administered; in fact, he had knowingly helped Gao Wei deceive others.
If this got out, his reputation wouldn't just be ruined.
Moreover, the Ji family was one of the largest real estate developers in East Sea. They could crush him with ease.
Terrified, Li Tianlai didn't dare utter a word. He looked at Zhao Dong with pleading eyes, begging him not to reveal the truth.
Zhao Dong regarded Li Tianlai with a smirk. Finally, mustering his courage, Li Tianlai stammered, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Ji, I... I don't know anything. Please don't look at me."
Zhao Dong was about to speak when he suddenly caught Ji Xiong's eye. Ji Xiong's gaze seemed to plead with him not to say anything.
Zhao Dong was momentarily puzzled, but in the next instant, he understood.
Looking at Li Tianlai, he said meaningfully, "Dr. Li, I won't say any more. You should leave now."
