Chapter 1067: Lin Jin Filled with Hatred
by xennovel“Are you alright?”
In the lounge.
Xu Shaochen asked with concern.
“No… nothing.”
Huo Ying shook her head, her expression still somewhat dazed.
The brief experience had terrified her.
Especially when Lin Hao repeatedly smashed Lin Jin’s left hand with an ashtray, it was a shocking sight.
“I’ll assign two bodyguards to you, just look how dangerous it was today.”
Xu Shaochen gently embraced Huo Ying.
Assigning two bodyguards was to handle unexpected situations like today.
Secondly, to prevent Tianqing from targeting Huo Ying and her daughter.
“This… it’s not necessary; today was just an exception.”
Huo Ying shook her head, not accustomed to always being followed.
“Better safe than sorry. If I hadn’t arrived in time today, who knows if such an incident would happen again?”
Xu Shaochen spoke softly.
Seeing Xu Shaochen’s insistence, Huo Ying didn’t want to refuse his kindness and eventually agreed.
“Xiaoxiao didn’t come home last night; she wasn’t with me.”
Xu Shaochen suddenly said.
Huo Ying was taken aback, then smiled bitterly, “I said I wouldn’t care, so I won’t. Whatever happens between you is up to you.”
Huo Xiao didn’t come home last night, and Xu Shaochen specially explained it today, making it seem suspicious to Huo Ying.
The key thing was finding fewer umbrellas in her bedside table; surely, Huo Xiao took them.
Now Xu Shaochen claims nothing happened between him and Huo Xiao last night; how can she believe him?
“She really wasn’t with me. I went home last night. Why don’t you believe me?”
Seeing Huo Ying’s disbelief, Xu Shaochen was anxious. He was innocent.
“Hmm.”
Huo Ying nodded perfunctorily.
Xu Shaochen: “………”
Okay, seems the explanation isn’t working.
But he was innocent; nothing happened last night with Huo Xiao!
If he’d known it would be like this.
When Huo Xiao called last night, he should have driven back to the hotel.
Now, he neither enjoyed anything nor avoided undeserved misunderstandings.
What a loss.
……………
When Lin Jin woke up, it was already evening.
Initially, he seemed a bit dazed.
Then, suddenly recalling something, his face changed.
He tried moving his hands but felt nothing.
He could see his hands but couldn’t control them.
“My hands, my hands, Dad…”
Lin Jin was near breaking down, lips trembling uncontrollably.
“Enough, stop yelling. Dad’s gone home.”
Lin Wei said calmly.
Lin Jin turned his head, noticing Lin Wei standing by the bed.
“Brother, I really admire you, able to pull off something like this. Do you know you’re endangering our Lin Family with your actions!”
Lin Wei stared coldly at Lin Jin, his eyes full of undisguised disdain.
Though the outcome was beneficial for him.
After all, with Lin Jin incapacitated and soon going abroad, Lin Family was bound to be his.
Yet he felt no joy.
Because of Lin Jin’s stupidity.
Fortunately, Xu Shaochen arrived in time. Otherwise, Lin Wei could imagine the trouble Lin Jin would have brought upon their Lin Family.
Now he cared less about personal losses, focusing more on the Lin Family as a whole.
“What do you think you are, a useless spendthrift? You have no right to criticize me!”
Lin Jin roared with blood-red eyes, breathing heavily.
Especially seeing Lin Wei’s intact hands filled him with hatred.
“Yes, I’m a spendthrift.”
Lin Wei chuckled, a mocking look in his eyes, “But brother, soon the Lin Family will be inherited by this useless spendthrift, while you’ll retire abroad.”
“Shut up!” Lin Jin shouted, then as if remembering something, said to Lin Wei:
“I get it, I know it was deliberate. You and that Xu guy conspired to frame me!”
“It must be this; otherwise, how did Xu Shaochen arrive so coincidentally? You’re close with Xu, you traitor. It’s you who conspired with him!”
Seeing Lin Jin’s agitation, Lin Wei looked at him with pity, “Brother, your imagination is indeed rich. It was your lust, and you cooked up so many conspiracies to seem innocent.”
“Shut up! You feel guilty because I’ve exposed your plan. You traitor, conspiring against your brother with an outsider!”
Lin Jin shouted, convinced of his theory. He wasn’t wrong, just framed.
“Since you’re now disabled, I’ll not argue, fool.”
Lin Wei shook his head, leaving a cold remark before turning away.
“Stop, have guts to face me!”
Seeing Lin Wei’s “guilty” departure, Lin Jin was more convinced he found the truth.
It was Lin Wei’s jealousy and collusion with Xu Shaochen to frame him.
He’d lost his arms, his status, and had to go overseas.
His father didn’t save him and even broke his left hand.
The more he thought, the angrier he got, filled with resentment.
Hating Xu Shaochen, Lin Wei, and his father Lin Hao.
“Since you’re ruthless, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
Lin Jin gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with hatred.
………………
Half an hour later.
Night Rose Bar.
Xu Shaochen and Lin Wei sat at the bar.
“My brother is crazy, believing today’s incident was plotted by us.”
Lin Wei drank, angered yet amused by Lin Jin’s wild thoughts.
“Him, worthy?”
Xu Shaochen sneered, having decided Lin Jin had to be eliminated.
A cripple who thought losing everything was due to a scheme; filled with hate, desperate for revenge.
Such a person was like a time-bomb, unstable and dangerous.
Xu Shaochen disliked anything or anyone he couldn’t control.
If uncontrollable, better to eliminate.
Yet, choosing who to do it needed careful consideration.
“Wine, give me wine!”
“Sir, you can’t drink anymore; you’re already drunk.”
“Isn’t this a bar? Do you think I can’t afford it? I have money!”
Xu Shaochen and Lin Wei turned to the commotion, surprised.
The drunk causing trouble was the same young man, Zhang Yuan, abandoned by a green tea b**ch earlier.
