Chapter 726: Chapter 728: Almost Scared Shitless

“Sis, my brother-in-law is a beast! When he saw you unconscious, he wanted to do that sort of… that indescribably vile thing to you! Sis, if I hadn’t arrived in time, you would have been ravaged by my brother-in-law by now! Look at my face, sis, these are the bruises I got while trying to stop my brother-in-law from committing such an inhuman act! My dear sister! No matter how I tried to persuade my brother-in-law, he wouldn’t listen—he attacked me viciously because he wanted to do that unspeakable thing to you! Sis, now that you’re awake, you must stand up for me!”

Chen Di’s tearful accusation could truly be described as a snotty, tearful mess!

Those were real tears, although it was hard to tell whether they were actual tears or drool. Regardless, this didn’t seem to hinder Chen Di’s acting skills.

After all, he was also the third spokesperson for the Azure Dragon Military District. Chen Di, who was used to facing the cameras, certainly had considerable acting chops.

Although, in some respects, it probably couldn’t compare with Lin Fei’s Oscar-worthy performances. But with the bruised and swollen face that Chen Dingguo had given him, Chen Di’s tearful accusations against Lin Fei were somewhat persuasive.

At least, it was enough to convince the just-awakened Chen Qi.

“Sis, look at my brother-in-law’s face—he’s thinking of hitting me again! Sis, quick, save me!” Seeing that Lin Fei’s expression had turned utterly dark with a clear intent to harm him due to his accusatory words, Chen Di very wisely used Chen Qi as a human shield.

It was precisely because of Chen Di’s move to use Chen Qi as a shield that Lin Fei, although seething with rage and itching to stomp Chen Di into pulp, could only forcefully suppress his fury and temporarily halt his advance.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense; he just wanted me to recommend him for Dragon Soul, and I refused, so now he’s trying to compel me to agree through this method.”

Lin Fei, wary of Chen Qi’s piercing gaze and unable to act against Chen Di, could only fall back on explaining to Chen Qi, who was a fierce policewoman. He tried to persuade her to trust him and alleviate the slightly awkward tension that had arisen due to Chen Di’s slanderous insinuations.

“Sis, don’t listen to my brother-in-law’s nonsense. What Dragon Soul? I’m a Lieutenant myself, and my dad is an Army Commander. Would I need to ask an outsider like my brother-in-law for such favors? You’ve just woken up; you can’t be completely clear-headed yet. You mustn’t let my brother-in-law deceive you.”

“Right, sis, you may not know this. If it weren’t for me, who infiltrated the Hawk base and found out about that bastard Jiang Yunpeng’s secret moves against you, and called my brother-in-law, he would probably be enjoying himself with some woman right now. Sis, you don’t know. When I first called my brother-in-law to tell him you were in trouble, he was quite reluctant to come. If I hadn’t insisted on calling him again and again, he probably wouldn’t have shown up! Sis, I seriously suspect my brother-in-law has fallen out of love with you. You must be prepared mentally!”

Get your dad ready to collect your corpse!

After spouting all that nonsense, Lin Fei truly felt an urge to send this worthless little brother-in-law to Hell!

Damn, he can spout some real bullshit, such a damn good-for-nothing schemer!

This is exactly the kind of bullshit that could smear a man to death!

Seeing that Chen Qi, the fierce policewoman who had initially been just slightly hesitant in her gaze, had, after Chen Di’s nonsense, started to show a glint of murderous intent in her beautiful eyes!

Lin Fei knew he could no longer stay silent. If he continued to remain silent, Chen Di’s slander against him might well be taken for the truth.

“Don’t listen to his bullshit; he’s totally making things up! His bruised face, it’s from being—”

“Brother-in-law, I truly didn’t expect you to be the type who dares to act but not take responsibility! These injuries on my face, weren’t they caused by you beating me? There’s nothing to deny here. Surely you’re not trying to say that my dad was the one who gave me these injuries, are you? Brother-in-law, you really let me down, you hit me, but I don’t blame you. After all, you are my brother-in-law, but the fact that you don’t even have the courage to admit it makes me lose all respect for you!”

“Sis, I didn’t mean anything else by what I said, please don’t misunderstand me. I was just, purely criticizing our brother-in-law for not owning up to his actions, please don’t let this make you doubt his character. Although the time I’ve known brother-in-law isn’t very long, I feel, on the whole, his character is still decent. Aside from being a bit of a playboy, there’s really nothing bad about him. Really, really, just a bit of a playboy!”

What a rhythm of claiming lives without paying with his own!

What a rhythm of starting trouble without showing any shame!

Lin Fei wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Chen Di, this opportunistic younger brother-in-law, was too shortsighted. After all, as the third spokesperson of the Azure Dragon Military District, Chen Di clearly wasn’t suited for the job when there were things he couldn’t speak about.

Moreover, Chen Di’s reputation as a chatterbox clearly wasn’t for nothing.

Lin Fei was aware of all these.

But seeing Chen Di’s talent for nonsensical talk aimed at blackening others, this was still the first time that Lin Fei had witnessed it.

It was indeed an eye-opener for him, Lin Fei truly considered it an education.

In the future, if there really was a war, Chen Di’s mouth would surely be lethal enough.

Of course, while he was impressed, Lin Fei obviously couldn’t simply remain silent out of admiration for Chen Di’s ability to disparage others.

After all, if he remained silent now, Chen Qi, this violent policewoman, would definitely explode and start a fight with him.

“You have two minutes to explain things clearly to your sister. As long as you manage to explain things to her, I promise to recommend you to join Dragon Soul. I can reveal a bit to you, with my connections in Dragon Soul, as long as I’m willing to recommend you, your joining is almost a sure thing.”

Since it was clearly impossible for him to explain to Chen Qi, this violent policewoman, by himself—especially after Chen Di, this opportunistic younger brother-in-law, had nearly talked him into deep trouble—Lin Fei had no choice but to offer the temptation of joining Dragon Soul to lure Chen Di.

And Chen Di was obviously very eager to take the bait.

“Sis, just pretend you didn’t hear what I said just now. My brother-in-law is right, those words were completely aimed at forcing him to agree to recommend me to join Dragon Soul. Now that brother-in-law agrees, there’s no need for me to keep spinning tales. That’s all there is to it. Sis, I’ve got things to attend to and I won’t disturb you and brother-in-law any longer. I’ll take my leave now.”

Saying so, Chen Di acted as if he was afraid Lin Fei would change his mind; well, to be more precise, he seemed worried that Lin Fei might beat him up.

With that, Chen Di made his immediate escape from Chen Qi’s hospital bedside…
