Chapter 1069: A Different Zhang Yuan
by xennovel“Two million?”
Xu Shaochen looked at Zhang Yuan.
The person was still the same.
But Xu Shaochen felt like he was a different person from yesterday.
“If it’s too much, one and a half million works too.”
Zhang Yuan thought he had asked for too much and upset Xu Shaochen.
“You misunderstood; money isn’t a problem for me.” Xu Shaochen shook his head, looking at Zhang Yuan. “The problem is, do you know what killing means? Do you think it’s like killing a chicken?”
“When someone dares to kill, does killing differ from killing a chicken in their eyes?”
Zhang Yuan chuckled calmly, nothing like the pitiful drunk he was at the bar yesterday.
Xu Shaochen was dumbfounded; he couldn’t refute this.
“Fine, I’ll give you two million. I just want results, no matter the process.”
Xu Shaochen nodded, tossing Lin Jin’s information over. Zhang Yuan was quite trustworthy now.
Zhang Yuan took the information without hurrying to flip through it, looking at Xu Shaochen a bit shyly, “Uh, boss, can I get an advance on my salary?”
Xu Shao looked him up and down, pulling a bundle of cash from the office drawer and tossing it over, then threw him a card.
“The card’s empty, but a million will soon be in it. The password is the last six digits of the card number. It’s a deposit.”
“Boss, aren’t you afraid I’ll take the money and run?”
Zhang Yuan held the bank card. Though it was empty now, it would soon have a million.
One million is a fortune for an ordinary person.
Xu Shaochen smiled, “I trust those I employ. I believe you won’t do that.”
He didn’t say something else.
If you dared, you’d end up dead before Lin Jin.
“Three days. Within three days, there’ll be results—either he’s dead, or I’m caught.”
Finishing, Zhang Yuan left with the card.
He lived with a day-to-day mindset.
He didn’t have much reverence for Xu Shaochen. After all, what do you expect from someone not afraid of death?
……………
In the hospital.
“Slap!”
Lin Wei, without a word, slapped Lin Jin hard, grabbing him by the collar, gritting his teeth, “Have you gone crazy! Don’t drag the Lin Family down in your mess!”
His fake marriage to Ye Ling, actually to curry favor with Xu Shaochen by willingly wearing a green hat, was now well known.
Lin Wei wanted to kill Lin Jin.
Feeling the pain on his face, Lin Jin sneered, “How does it feel to be famous? And, why should I care about the Lin Family when I’m already like this?”
Lin Jin was now half-mad, hitting rock bottom.
If he was having a bad day, no one should have a good one either.
“Bang!”
Lin Wei punched Lin Jin, bloodying his nose, “Crazy! Keep it up; one day, you’ll kill yourself!”
Lin Jin bled from the nose from Lin Wei’s punch.
Lin Jin touched the blood, smiling chillingly, “Even in death, I’d drag the Lin Family with me. Are you not having a hard time now?”
“People laugh at you outside, Xu Shaochen pressures you to control things, trapped in the middle, are you not suffering?”
Lin Jin’s face was full of schadenfreude, then a flash of malice appeared in his eyes as he suddenly yelled, “It was you! Teaming up with that Xu guy to frame me. I lost my hands because of you! I want everyone to know what kind of person Xu Shaochen and you Lin Wei are!”
“Bastard!”
Lin Wei, eyes red, glared at Lin Jin, spelling out the words between clenched teeth.
Because of this bastard!
Now, half of Jiangzhou knows he’s a cuckold—a laughing stock.
And that’s not the main point.
The main point is the involvement of Xu Shaochen.
Handled poorly, Xu Shaochen would surely pin it on him.
He immediately clarified, even staging with Ye Ling.
Yet it had little effect.
Everyone chose to believe their own version of the truth.
To them, Lin Wei’s actions seemed like a cover-up, confirming the rumors of him being a cuckold to curry favor with Xu Shaochen.
“Hahaha yes, I’m the bastard. What can you do, kill me? Go on, kill me! Hahaha…”
Seeing Lin Wei’s frustration, Lin Jin felt overjoyed and laughed provocatively.
Lin Wei’s anger built quickly, watching Lin Jin’s mad face on the hospital bed. His intent to kill grew.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the pillow next to Lin Jin, and a bold idea formed.
“You want to die so much; let me help you.”
Lin Wei grabbed the pillow and pressed it firmly on Lin Jin’s face.
“Mmph…”
Lin Jin’s eyes widened angrily, struggling endlessly, but with crippled hands, his resistance was futile.
Lin Wei pressed harder, his expression turning from clenched determination to twisted ferocity, eyes bloodshot.
“What are you doing!”
A shout rang out.
Lin Wei jumped, instinctively letting go.
Turning, he saw Lin Hao glaring at him.
“Dad…I…I…”
Lin Wei went pale, teeth chattering, unable to speak a complete sentence.
“Cough, cough… Dad, he tried to kill me!”
Lin Jin gasping for air, coughing fiercely, yelling at Lin Hao.
He thought he wasn’t afraid of death, could take a gamble.
But struggling for breath just now, he knew he was wrong.
He feared death, preferring a miserable life to none.
“Slap!”
Lin Hao approached quickly, slapping Lin Wei hard, roaring angrily, “You fool! No matter what he’s done, he’s your brother! You dare lay a hand? Is your next target me!”
“Thud!”
Lin Wei knelt immediately, crying, slapping himself.
“Dad, I was wrong, blinded by anger. Dad, I truly was wrong. I…I lost control…”
Watching him, tears and snot streaming as he slapped himself.
Lin Hao’s anger faded with a sigh, “Get up.”
He figured why Lin Wei acted this way.
He wasn’t deaf, after all, knowing today’s rumors.
Intending to reprimand Lin Jin, he stumbled upon this scene.
