Chapter 450: Chapter 450: The Only Candidate

Lin Qingshi continued: "You need to know, all of this is Qiao Rui’s manipulation."

"That’s true." Lin Hailan gritted her teeth in hatred at the thought of Qiao Rui, "Without Qiao Rui, we would all be fine. I wish she would just die now."

"If she doesn’t die, none of us will have peace." Lin Qingshi glanced at Lin Hailan’s distorted face, squinted his eyes, and continued to fuel the fire: "If she dies, everything will return to its original course."

"Everything back to its original course?" Lin Hailan chuckled lightly, as if filled with disdain. "All of this is probably just your fantasy, Dad. It will never go back to how it was, because the matters with Big Brother and Tinglei have been exposed. Lives are at stake, they need to repay."

Lin Qingshi’s face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Lin Hailan with displeasure: "Things haven’t reached that point yet. Without Qiao Rui, I naturally have a way to restore everything."

"Of course I wish that Qiao Rui would die now." Lin Hailan knew her father’s plan and didn’t fall for it: "But asking me to kill her, that’s impossible."

"You!" Lin Qingshi thought he had convinced Lin Hailan, but unexpectedly, he hadn’t.

"I’ve done all I can." Lin Hailan was truly disheartened this time: "What kind of father sends his own daughter to the guillotine?"

Unable to retort, Lin Qingshi’s anger grew even more intense, "Then what do you think we should do now?"

"Do what you want, but forcing me to kill someone is not possible." Lin Hailan said in a deep voice, "I haven’t taken a life, nor will I bear that responsibility."

"Do you think you won’t face legal consequences for everything you’ve done?" Lin Qingshi countered.

"Even so, I wouldn’t face a death sentence." Lin Hailan sneered, "You want me to sacrifice myself for your Lin family, that’s impossible.

You made me see your true colors. You’ve used me cleanly over the years, and now you’re kicking me aside, disregarding our lives.

Do you think you’re any better off than me now? The feeling of sitting on pins and needles, being roasted over a fire doesn’t feel good, does it?"

Lin Qingshi’s chest heaved, anger surging from his feet upwards, "If I had someone else to use, why would I come to you?"

"You shouldn’t be discussing this with me, you should go to Sister-in-law, she’s the direct beneficiary." Lin Hailan was extremely disappointed and disheartened towards her father.

Lin Qingshi was taken aback, he almost forgot about her as an option.

"Why not ask Sister-in-law to do it?" Lin Hailan said in a deep voice, "After all, I’m your daughter, Sister-in-law is an outsider. Now that Big Brother and Tinglei are both inside, the chances of them getting out are slim. Why not let the three of them be together, and it will fulfill the rest of us."

Now, the person who probably hates Qiao Rui the most is Lin Tiancheng’s wife, Luo Xiuxin.

Lin Qingshi’s eyes shifted, and he said: "That’s indeed a suitable choice. You call your sister-in-law then."

"Dad, are you trying to harm me again?" Lin Hailan sneered, "I won’t get involved in your Lin family’s matters. I’m like spilled water, I’m no longer part of your family. I’m really scared of being dragged down by you."

"I’m asking you to make a call. Why are you making such a fuss?" Elder Lin said in a deep voice, "Call your sister-in-law immediately!"

"No." Lin Hailan also stood up: "I originally thought you called me back for something good, but it turns out you wanted to harm me. You won’t stop until you ruin me! Forget it, you can dig your own grave, I won’t accompany you."

After finishing her words, Lin Hailan stood up and left, completely ignoring her father.

"Stop right there." Lin Qingshi shouted angrily, "Come back."

"Come back to die?" Lin Hailan snorted with a cynical smile, "I won’t. Dad, you’re so old, it’s really immoral to drag others down with you when you’re dying."

"Nonsense."

"Who wants to deal with you." Lin Hailan limped away.

Elder Lin had no choice but to pick up the phone himself and call his eldest daughter-in-law.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Tiancheng’s wife, Luo Xiuxin, immediately started sobbing: "Dad, please find a way to save Tiancheng and Tinglei."

"I have a way to save them right now."

"What way?" Luo Xiuxin asked immediately.

"It just depends on whether you are willing to do it!" Lin Qingshi said.

"Dad, just tell me, whatever you say, I’ll do it."

"Qiao Rui is staying at the hospital. If someone goes and kills her now, our predicament will be resolved immediately."

"Dad, are you asking me to do it?" Luo Xiuxin asked.

"Xiuxin," Lin Qingshi said, "I’m too old to move. If I could, I wouldn’t need you to do it."

"Dad, didn’t you already find someone?" Luo Xiuxin was confused. "Why do you still need me to do it?"

"I found Yu Shu. Yu Shu went to jail for Tiancheng, and you never even visited him. How could he still follow my plans?"

Luo Xiuxin was stunned for a moment, not speaking for a while.

"Whether you go or not, it’s up to you." Lin Qingshi didn’t push her excessively.

Luo Xiuxin sensed Elder Lin was about to hang up, and quickly said: "Dad, are you really not going to do anything?"

"Even if I want to, I can’t!" Lin Qingshi said bitterly: "From here on out, deal with things if you can, if not, so be it."

After saying this, Lin Qingshi hung up the phone.

This time, he was taking a step back to advance, hoping Luo Xiuxin could carry out the task of killing Qiao Rui for him.

If Qiao Rui doesn’t die, he cannot be at peace.

Luo Xiuxin quickly called back, "Dad, I’ll do it, I’ll handle everything!"

Now, both her husband and son were in detention, and the case had been filed for investigation.

Lin Qingshi was taken aback: "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure. If Tinglei and Tiancheng are both in, there’s no point in me being outside." Luo Xiuxin said, "Qiao Rui’s targeted us. I won’t let her off easily. I will make her pay."

"Very good." Lin Qingshi said, "That’s my daughter-in-law. You have guts."

Luo Xiuxin said, "Dad, that’s the plan then, I’ll act tonight."

"Be careful." Lin Qingshi said.

"I know."

After hanging up the phone again, Luo Xiuxin gathered her people and went out.

Yu Shu picked up the phone and called Huang Ying: "Luo Xiuxin is going to the hospital tonight, very likely to make a move."

"So, it’s not Lin Hailan." Huang Ying was quite surprised, "It seems Lin Qingshi sacrificed his daughter-in-law after all. A daughter is still one’s own, a daughter-in-law is an outsider."

"That’s not it." Yu Shu said, "Old Lin isn’t that considerate. Lin Hailan refused. Lin Hailan doesn’t want to commit a crime."

"Really?" Huang Ying was surprised, "It looks like Lin Hailan has a lot of sense this time. Luo Xiuxin is making a move, understood, I’ve got it."

"That’s it then." Yu Shu didn’t drag on.

Qiao Rui had just finished her shower, changed her clothes, poured a glass of water, and was drinking when Pei Liyan came back.

As soon as he entered, Qiao Rui glanced at him: "Why are you back so late?"

Pei Liyan deeply stared at her face, then in the next moment, he walked up to Qiao Rui, grasped her shoulders with both hands, looked her up and down, and softly asked, "Are you alright?"
