Although Apicai kept telling himself to endure, he couldn't help but feel a burning anger when he heard Jin Xin accuse him of being the real murderer of the councilor's wife.
With a swift movement, Apicai rushed towards Jin Xin and gave him another scathing slap.
Jin Xin did not dodge.
After a loud smack, Jin Xin's half face started to swell.
Apicai grabbed Jin Xin's collar and yelled, "Do you dare to say it again? Do you dare — say it again!"
Jin Xin felt a hot and somewhat numb sensation on half of his face. He knew his intended effect had been achieved, so he mumbled, "I don't dare."
Upon hearing Jin Xin's words, Apicai jerkily threw Jin Xin into a chair and snarled, "This isn't some press conference where you can spout nonsense. This is my territory. I can do whatever I like with you!"
"So you're saying I can't even ask some questions?" Jin Xin looked at Apicai.
Of course, he knew that it was unlikely that Apicai had any involvement in the councilor's wife's death.
