Chapter 122: 122 Brother Yan: Then break his legs and bring him to see me [Second Update]

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Lin Yue’s body was viciously kicked again.

He winced in pain, his body involuntarily curling up as his stomach churned tumultuously.

"Speak up!" the burly thug stomped on Lin Yue’s body, "You seemed pretty capable during the car race the other day, didn’t you? You had a lot of strength when you smashed Brother Hu’s barbecue stall, so why are you chickening out now?"

He had been mixed up in the underworld for a long time and seen all kinds of people; he despised someone like Lin Yue the most—always pushing problems onto others.

Lin Yue spat out several mouthfuls of acidic water tinged with blood, unable to muster any resistance, and instead began groveling, "Big brother, the person in the car was my mom, may I know how I can assist you?"

"At least you’re obedient. How’s your mom now?" the burly thug bent down to ask, "Is she dead?"

These past few days, they had been inquiring about Lin Woyu’s status from all around. But the First Hospital was tightly sealed off, not even Xu Lu got any information.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Lin Yue’s eyes, "My mom... my mom is still in the ward. I only saw her once; she was in a wheelchair and seemed to be alright."

"Not dead?" The several burly thugs exchanged a look of surprise.

Cars surrounding and trapping, grievous injuries leading to unconsciousness—yet she woke up in just two or three days?

"Yes, yes, my mom isn’t dead." Lin Yue was cautious, "May I know if there’s anything else you need me to do?"

The leading burly thug glanced at him, and sneered, "Kid, you catch on fast. Like this, be here at one in the morning waiting for us, and you’ll take us into the hospital."

But in his heart, he had already harbored murderous intentions.

The car accident footage had been taken care of by Xu Lu thanks to Mang Hu’s request; now the only thing left was Lin Woyu, the human witness.

Getting rid of the witness Lin Woyu was the only way to ensure there would be no counter-evidence.

But they had also seen the footage at the time; Lin Woyu’s car flipped over into the bushes with the gasoline causing an explosion.

If it had been them in such a situation, they would have either been dead or severely injured.

Had the medical standards in Jiangcheng improved so rapidly?

"Certainly, certainly." Lin Yue nodded hurriedly, "Whatever the big brothers ask of me, I’ll comply!"

"Hmm, you’re a ruthless little brat," the burly thug scoffed coldly, "You don’t even care about your own mother’s life. Brother Hu could use someone like you. Do you want to work for Brother Hu in the future?"

Lin Yue was startled, "Ah?"

"What ’ah’?" the burly thug kicked him hard again, "If you can’t understand, then just scram!"

Lin Yue didn’t dare linger longer, and stumbled out of the alley as fast as he could manage.

The thuggish men dealt with the scene and then left one after another.

They hadn’t noticed that someone had witnessed everything they did.

When Bing He and Tie Ma confirmed that Lin Yue had run into Mang Hu and his old underworld cronies, they knew the other party would not let things go easily, so they had been watching separately.

And they had finally grasped what they were after.

Bing He cheerfully watched the scene of Lin Yue being beaten up and even took out his latest smartphone, which cost him a month’s salary, to record the event, planning to use this to claim credit afterwards.

When back at Yan Tingfeng’s residence, Bing He immediately started reporting: "Young Master, Mang Hu and his brothers plan to make a move on Miss Ye’s aunt. They’re probably banking on the Xu Family backing them, since they’ve cleared the footage."

Tie Ma nodded seriously, "They’ve probably done many such things in the past and are using the same old tricks this time too."

Yan Tingfeng was at that moment polishing a long saber.

The saber had an antiquated design, with elegant patterns on the hilt, but the blade was extremely sharp, emitting a chilling light.

Six years ago, when Bing He and Tie Ma were assigned to Yan Tingfeng, he already had this long saber in his possession.

However, the two had never seen Yan Tingfeng use it, though he would regularly polish it.

Bing He was very curious about the origin of this saber, but he didn’t dare to ask.

Three minutes later, after finishing with the saber, Yan Tingfeng slowly spoke up, "Hmm, bring him to see me."

"Yes!" Bing He walked a few steps, then turned his head back, confused, "Young Master, what if he doesn’t come? I heard he’s a tough nut to crack, even his name is Mang Hu."

Yan Tingfeng lifted his head, his beautiful phoenix eyes filled with bone-chilling murderous intent and ferocity. He spoke coldly, "Then break his legs and bring him to see me."

The cold seemed to penetrate from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head; Bing He felt like his entire body was in a world of ice and snow, his very bones chilling.

"Understood!" Bing He bowed and quickly dragged Tie Ma away with him.

Not until they had run a hundred meters did he stop, patting his chest and exhaling deeply.

"Tietie, the Young Master is still quite frightening." Bing He complained, "He’s like a completely different person compared to when he’s in front of Miss Ye."

Tie Ma: "Heh, you think you can compare with Miss Ye?"

Doesn’t he even consider his own status?

He himself had always been clear about his own position.

"Tietie, don’t you think the Young Master looks just like a member of the Demon Sect who kills without blinking in martial arts novels when he sits there polishing his saber?" Bing He scratched his head, "Could that saber also be an antique? I remember the Young Master has plenty of antiques."

Tie Ma said coldly, "I’ll go tell the Young Master that you called him a person from the Demon Sect."

"No, no, no!" Bing He quickly held him back, "Let’s go and break Mang Hu’s legs first!"

He wanted to break Mang Hu’s legs neatly so that the Young Master would give him a bonus.

At night, after finishing the physical training camp course, Ye Wanlan visited Lin Woyu at the First Hospital.

The door to the hospital room was ajar, and Lin Qin’s angry voice could be heard from inside, "Lin Yue, who are you crying for now? Acting as if you’re the victim. Don’t you know Mom needs to rest in peace?"

Ye Wanlan pushed the door open and entered.

Lin Yue was kneeling in front of Lin Woyu, sobbing heavily, "Mom, I’ve truly been worried about you. Ever since you were hospitalized, I’ve been running around. I really was just seeking help from my dad."

Lin Woyu felt a headache coming on: "Stop crying."

"Mom, please don’t send me away," Lin Yue cried heartbreakingly, "If you send me away, I’ll have nowhere to go. My dad, he’s just a liar. He never really wanted to take me with him; he only wanted to drive a wedge between us..."

"Lin Yue, you’re not yet of age, and the custody change agreement has been signed by your aunt and father," Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "If you’re not yet of age and your father refuses to support you, you can sue. I’ve said it, don’t disturb Aunt."

Lin Yue’s crying stopped abruptly, and before he could say anything, he was chased out of the hospital room.

With a "bang", the door was shut.

"Ye Wanlan, what on earth do you mean?" Lin Yue couldn’t pretend anymore; he was extremely angry, "What the hell does our family’s affairs have to do with you? Why do you care? Do you live by the seaside?!"

He wasn’t foolish.

This whole incident was clearly undermined by Ye Wanlan, leading to the situation as it was now. Otherwise, he might have had a chance to make things right with Lin Woyu!

"Ye Wanlan, don’t think that just because you’ve managed to fool Grandma and my mom by pretending, you can keep up the act forever," Lin Yue extended his hand, pointed at the girl’s nose, and said through clenched teeth, "I’m telling you, you’ll always be nothing but a stand-in for Miss Sheng Yunyi. You can’t compare to her, never!"

Ye Wanlan remained unangered, still with an indifferent tone, "Get lost."

Swinging a punch into the air, Lin Yue was stifled with frustration and could only leave a harsh word, "You just wait!"

Ye Wanlan’s gaze shifted slightly.

It seemed that the other party had moved exactly as she had predicted.

Such an uninteresting game of chess.

It had been a long time since she had encountered an opponent of equal strength, which, for her, wasn’t a good thing.

Ye Wanlan turned around to buy fruit for Lin Woyu.

Night had fallen, the sky was deeply dark, the stars and the moon swallowed by the ink-like clouds.

Several brawny men were in a hotel across from the First Hospital, observing Lin Woyu’s hospital room through a telescope.

At 9:30 P.M., Lin Qin left under Lin Woyu’s persuasion.

Ye Wanlan, however, stayed until Lin Woyu had fallen into a deep sleep, all the while keeping her company by the bedside.

She faced away from the window until she turned around midway, and the moonlight illuminated her brows and eyes.

The men behind the telescope scope were all taken aback.

"Brother Xiao Long, that must be Ye Wanlan that Brother Xu has mentioned, right? Brother Hu has shown us a picture," said the young man, "It’s so late, and she’s still in the hospital room, even more attentive than Lin Yue, her own son."

"Correct, that’s her. Brother Xu said if this Ye Wanlan is also here, we should break her nose," You Xiaolong narrowed his eyes, "She does look pretty. No wonder she could spend two years by the side of Zhou Family’s second young master with just a face."

"What’s two years good for?" the young man laughed, "Miss Yunyi returned, and she was still kicked out, right? I heard she didn’t gain anything, which is just hilarious."

You Xiaolong shrugged, "These kind of women are all the same, wanting to climb up the social ladder through marriage. They always think they’re the special one for the man, but they’re just playthings after all."

The Jiangcheng Lin Family indeed was middle-class, but compared to great families like the Zhou and Sheng Families, they were far too inferior.

Moreover, among all the socialites, Sheng Yunyi was far too excellent; how could Ye Wanlan ever compete with her?

Just a face?

In the eyes of the top elite, beauty was nothing but a resource to be traded for benefits.

In the telescope’s view, Ye Wanlan covered the sleeping Lin Woyu with a blanket, then left the hospital room.

"Let’s go," You Xiaolong packed away the telescope, "We can go in now."

With Lin Yue’s help, they successfully entered the fourth floor.

At that moment, the fourth floor was quiet, with only one light left on in the corridor.

You Xiaolong didn’t sense anything amiss and led his men forward, "First, make Lin Woyu take the medicine. I don’t know if Ye Wanlan will come back, but if she does, drag her out and take her to Brother Xu."

The underlings nodded, "Understood."

At that moment, on a chair outside the hospital room, Ye Wanlan slowly opened her eyes, "I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Today was an auspicious day, a day suitable for shedding blood.
