Chapter Index

    After Xu Shaochen and Lin Wei parted at the teahouse.

    He went to the Western Restaurant to find Huo Ying.

    He mainly wanted to discuss Huo Xiao’s matters with her again.

    Huo Xiao didn’t come home all night last night. He didn’t do anything, so he needed to probe her intentions.

    As soon as he entered the restaurant.

    The waiter told him that Huo Ying was in the reception room greeting a guest.

    The guest’s surname was Lin and claimed to be his friend.

    Xu Shaochen was curious about who it was, but then he heard voices from inside.

    He kicked open the door, his anger flaring.

    Lin Jin dared to run to Huo Ying’s Western Restaurant trying to assault her. He was courting death.

    He hesitated to help Lin Wei initially.

    But now he no longer needed to hesitate.

    He stepped on Lin Jin’s right hand, ignoring his cries and pleas for mercy, and took out his phone to call Lin Hao.

    “Mr. Xu, what’s the reason for your call?”

    The call was quickly connected and Lin Hao’s respectful voice came through the phone.

    “Orders? Director Lin, how could I dare to give you orders? After all, your eldest son, Lin Jin, dared to assault my woman.”

    “I beg you, Director Lin, to have mercy and let your eldest son spare me a way out.”

    Xu Shaochen sneered, speaking in a cool, sarcastic tone.

    “What! Mr. Xu… this… this must be a misunderstanding.”

    Lin Hao’s voice instantly rose a few decibels, filled with disbelief.

    He couldn’t believe Lin Jin would do something like this.

    “Misunderstanding? Do you think I’m joking with you, Lin Hao? I want a resolution. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll take it myself.”

    This was the first time Xu Shaochen called him by his name directly, as a warning.

    “Mr. Xu, I’m coming over immediately…”

    Lin Hao didn’t finish his sentence before Xu Shaochen hung up the phone.

    He truly wanted to kill this trash, Lin Jin.

    But considering his identity, Lin Jin wasn’t worth his effort. Taking care of him would only cause trouble.

    “Lin Jin, if your life is enough, you could just tell me directly. Why use such a roundabout way?”

    Xu Shaochen looked coldly at Lin Jin. Although he wouldn’t kill him, he wouldn’t let him off easily either.

    He’d make him wish he were dead.

    “Mr. Xu, spare me, Mr. Xu. Sir, please spare me. I won’t dare again. I was just out of my mind…”

    Lin Jin was scared out of his wits, even wet himself, continually begging for mercy.

    “Which hand did he just use to disrespect you?”

    Xu Shaochen turned to ask Huo Ying.

    Huo Ying bit her red lip: “You arrived just in time. He… he didn’t touch me.”

    “So he used both hands, just didn’t achieve his goal.”

    After he spoke, a cold light flashed in Xu Shaochen’s eyes as he exerted pressure on Lin Jin’s right hand again.

    “Crunch!”

    This time, he directly crushed the bones in his hand into pieces.

    “Ahhh…”

    Lin Jin let out a hysterical scream, his body convulsed, and sweat as big as beans seeped from his forehead.

    The excruciating pain made him wish he could die now.

    “Two hands. I crippled the right. The left is left to your father.”

    Xu Shaochen said coldly.

    With the strength just exerted.

    Lin Jin’s right hand could never recover. In the future, he couldn’t even hold a tissue.

    About twenty minutes later, Lin Hao rushed in, drenched in sweat.

    “Dad, save me… save me, Dad.”

    Seeing Lin Hao was like seeing hope for Lin Jin.

    In fact, for him now, only his dad could save him.

    “Mr. Xu… have mercy, Mr. Xu.”

    Without saying a word, Lin Hao knelt in front of Xu Shaochen, constantly kowtowing.

    Although angry with Lin Jin, seeing him so pitiful softened his heart. After all, he was his biological son.

    “You should be grateful I appeared early enough so that he didn’t succeed. Otherwise, he’d be in the sea feeding fish instead of lying here.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke to Lin Hao in an unaffected tone.

    Lin Hao was quite capable, but unfortunately, he didn’t teach his son well.

    “Mr. Xu, it is the father’s fault for not educating his son. It’s all my fault. Please have mercy and spare him, Mr. Xu.”

    Lin Hao’s forehead was bloodied from kowtowing, tearful as he begged Xu Shaochen for mercy.

    “I’ve already crippled his right hand, but one left remains.”

    Xu Shaochen said calmly.

    Lin Hao’s kowtowing froze. After a moment, he said, “Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your mercy. Thank you.”

    To him, this was indeed a lenient act.

    Lin Hao got up, glanced around the reception room, picked up the stone ashtray from the table, and walked towards Lin Jin.

    “Dad, what… what are you going to do, Dad? Don’t, I’m your son. I’m already crippled with one hand. I don’t want to be disabled. I don’t want…”

    Watching Lin Hao approach step by step, Lin Jin was terrified, shaking his head, his face pale without a trace of blood.

    His right hand was already crippled.

    If his left hand were to be crippled too.

    He wouldn’t be able to use either hand for anything. What difference would living make compared to being dead? “Endure it.”

    Lin Hao, eyes filled with reluctance, said through gritted teeth, squatted down, pressed Lin Jin’s left hand, took a deep breath, and smashed down with the ashtray.

    “Clang! Crack!”

    “Ahhh!”

    Lin Hao, tears streaming, gritted his teeth, and repeatedly smashed Lin Jin’s arm with the ashtray.

    At first Lin Jin could scream, but later he passed out from the pain.

    “Clunk.”

    Not until Lin Jin’s entire left hand was completely deformed, bleeding profusely, did Lin Hao drop the ashtray and collapse on the ground as if drained of energy.

    Huo Ying, beside Xu Shaochen, was frightened by the bloody scene, holding tightly onto Xu Shaochen’s sleeve with a pale face.

    About two minutes later.

    Lin Hao seemed to snap back, looking at Xu Shaochen with a dry voice: “Mr. Xu… are you satisfied?”

    Xu Shaochen spoke expressionlessly, his tone calm: “From now on, I don’t want to see him in Jiangzhou.”

    “I’ll immediately send him abroad and he’ll never return to Jiangzhou in this lifetime.” Lin Hao said through gritted teeth. Lin Jin being able to keep his life was enough for him.

    Xu Shaochen nodded slightly, leaving with Huo Ying.

    Watching Xu Shaochen leave.

    Lin Hao’s trembling hands dialed 120.

    Although Lin Jin’s disaster made him want to beat him to death,

    But after all, he was his son. How could he really watch him die?
