After Sun Yixie finished speaking, Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi agreed in unison and turned to leave.
Although Murong Ji and Liu Ming did not know what "that thing" Sun Yixie referred to, they gathered from his tone that it must be something intended to punish Xue and Tang.
This tactic, Murong Ji was familiar with, generally proceeded as follows: two underworld bosses would negotiate, one would pressure the other by finding a reason for his underlings to play possum in front of the other party; if the pressured party was willing to yield, they would watch for a while, then, when their underlings could hardly hold on, they would say something like "Alright, enough, we can talk this out, don't be hard on the lad," and the pressuring party would smoothly reply with useless phrases like "Brother, you truly have a kind heart," allowing the underlings to stop their self-harm and be carried away for treatment.
