Ma Weiqian saw Bai Xiaosheng questioning him, while Lei Ying stood by, ready to pounce like "a butcher sharpening his knife," seemingly ready to "strike" him at any moment, and he panicked.
If he doesn't say something valuable today, he might never get out of here.
Ma Weiqian's face looked incredibly conflicted and ugly.
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Lei, I beg you, I'm really just a small employee. I know very little, please don't make it hard for me. If I say something I shouldn't and offend those above me, losing my job, how will I live? I have an eighty-year-old mother and two children to support."
Ma Weiqian wore a sorrowful expression, pleading incessantly.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded as he listened.
"Initially, I just wanted to casually chat and see if I could learn something," Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Ma Weiqian, "But listening to you, it seems you know things significant enough to get yourself fired! Now I'm even more interested in knowing how important what you know really is!"
