Chapter 1083 - 1150: Trampling on Dignity and Enduring Humiliation, All for Your Safety
Bang——A deep sound echoed from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling searchlights all converged on Lin Hai.
The scene was like the movie screen in a dark void, with only the protagonist standing out brightly.
Lin Hai remained silent, coldly staring at the group of people emerging ahead.
The person at the forefront was none other than Cao Zhongzheng, staring coldly at Lin Hai.
"Lin Hai, right?" Cao Zhongzheng asked.
Staring at him, Judge had long sent over a photo of Cao Zhongzheng with the intel.
"The Family Head of the Cao Family, just doing such lowly deeds? Kidnapping a little girl, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for eternity?" Lin Hai replied coldly.
Cao Zhongzheng laughed out loud, looking at Lin Hai like an idiot, and spoke calmly, "This world is fundamentally about the survival of the fittest. For survival, to live better, to become superior, any means can be used without reservation."
"Only people like you at the bottom would cling to so-called emotions."
With that said, Cao Zhongzheng waved his hand.
A figure was pushed forward.
The moment Lin Hai saw that figure, his pupils shrank to needle points.
At this moment, Lin Mengru was tightly bound, with a hint of tears at her eye corners, and her mouth was deliberately gagged.
Crunch!
Lin Hai clenched his fist tightly.
His sister was suffering because of him.
"Cao Zhongzheng, release her!" Lin Hai shouted coldly.
"Naive."
Cao Zhongzheng sneered, full of superiority, "Lin Hai, why do you care so much about a girl you've known for less than a year?"
"Because we are friends. People like you will never understand what emotions mean." Lin Hai replied.
"Ridiculous, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Clearly, Cao Zhongzheng wasn't easily deceived.
"If you won't speak then..."
Mid-sentence, Cao Zhongzheng waved to his subordinates.
The subordinate holding Lin Mengru's shoulder immediately drew a dagger and pointed it at her pretty face.
Cao Zhongzheng continued, "You can lie to me as much as you want, but the consequence is that every lie you tell leaves another scar on Lin Mengru's face."
As he spoke, Cao Zhongzheng personally walked to Lin Mengru, pinched her pathetic little chin, and clicked his tongue: "Tsk tsk, such a youthful appearance, it would really be a pity to ruin it."
"Despicable!" Lin Hai gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Despicable? Every means can be used for the goal, only the weak would call it despicable, hahaha."
Lin Hai's fist clenched tightly, the Gang Qi in his body was fiercely rotating, he was ready to open a killing spree at any moment.
"Lin Hai, was it you who ambushed my son?" Cao Zhongzheng asked coldly.
Lin Hai gritted his teeth, saying nothing.
He couldn't admit it, as admitting it would expose the identity of King Yan.
After all, the black trench coat and bronze mask were unmistakable.
"Won't speak? Tsk tsk, your sister's face is about to blossom." Cao Zhongzheng grinned, picked up the dagger, and was about to cut Lin Mengru's face.
"Wait! I'll talk!"
Lin Hai gritted his teeth, fixed his gaze on Cao Zhongzheng, and said, "The one who crippled your son was not me, it was King Yan!"
"King Yan, it really is King Yan!" Cao Zhongzheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Then, he curiously asked, "So, what's your relationship with King Yan?"
"King Yan is my senior brother!" Lin Hai replied.
Cao Zhongzheng came to a realization.
That explained everything.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Lin Hai with newfound respect.
To be brothers with the King of Assassins is surely not an ordinary security guard.
"Unexpectedly, a little security guard from Huadu conceals such a great identity; King Yan is ranked at the top of international power lists, with countless people wanting to know his true identity."
"Say, if I hand you over to those forces, wouldn't they use the most brutal methods in the world to extract information from you?" Cao Zhongzheng asked sinisterly.
"You're welcome to try!" Lin Hai replied coldly.
Cao Zhongzheng chuckled: "One last question, if you answer it, I might consider letting this little girl leave."
"Ask away!" Lin Hai was waiting, waiting for the opportune moment to rescue his sister.
"As King Yan's junior disciple, why do you care so much about a little girl? And why did you have a conflict with my son, even having King Yan cripple him for it?" Cao Zhongzheng asked.
This question...
Lin Hai's brain was rapidly processing.
"Hard to answer? Well then, I'll kill this little girl." Cao Zhongzheng was clearly a master of manipulation, using a hostage as leverage.
"At this point, some things seem impossible to hide anymore." Lin Hai closed his eyes, sighing silently.
He opened his eyes and answered, "Cao Ziqing wanted to use Qin Shou to hurt Mengru emotionally."
"And then?" Cao Zhongzheng pressed further.
"I didn't want Mengru to be harmed, so I disrupted Cao Ziqing's plan, resulting in the current situation."
Cao Zhongzheng nodded, "So what exactly is your relationship with Lin Mengru? An ordinary person wouldn't go this far to help a stranger."
"Nothing much, friends. I'm the kind of person who draws his blade to help when seeing injustice."
"Ridiculous." Clearly, Cao Zhongzheng didn't believe it, coldly saying, "If you want to save this girl, kneel immediately, and I'll let her go."
With these words, Lin Hai's pupils contracted again.
A man kneels only for gold!
Lin Mengru's eyes widened, making "mmm" sounds from her gagged mouth, shaking her head forcefully, clearly not wanting Brother Lin to kneel.
"If you don't kneel, I'll kill her immediately!"
Thud!
Lin Hai's knees heavily hit the ground.
Lin Mengru, watching this scene, shed tears from her beautiful eyes in shock and disbelief.
Hmm, hmm
Humming sounds continuously echoed.
It seemed to cry out from the heart, "Stand up, Brother Lin, don't kneel, stand up."
Lin Hai's fist clenched tightly to the extreme degree, joints emitting intense cracking sounds, muscles taut, gritting his teeth, silently enduring the humiliation.
"You're the junior of the King of Assassins, why not rely on your force to snatch her?" Cao Zhongzheng burst out laughing, mockingly asked.
"Because there are more than thirty elite snipers ambushed here, I can't guarantee Mengru won't be harmed." Lin Hai replied directly.
Cao Zhongzheng nodded, "Very good, you're smart, like me. Actually, we are of the same kind, aren't we? I can kill others and harm everyone for my aim, you gave up dignity to save someone, even to kneel."
"This is your last chance: what exactly is she to you? Worthy enough for you to kneel?"
"Won't answer, I'll break her neck immediately."
Lin Hai took a deep breath.
He knew Cao Zhongzheng would definitely do what he says, for such a person, other people's lives are worthless.
He kneeled, symbolizing humiliation.
The mockery from the opponent represents the trampling of dignity.
But, in the life and death of family, what's humiliation? What's dignity? Above all, it's damn sentiment!
"Three-second countdown!"
"Won't speak, she dies!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
The dagger was already pressed against Mengru's neck, even piercing the skin.
"One!"
"I'll speak!"
Lin Hai yelled almost enraged, clenching his teeth.
"She is my real sister!"
Lin Hai shouted in fury.
The entire vast abandoned crematorium echoed with the deep voice unleashed by uncontrolled Gang Qi.
Lin Mengru's eye-corner tears seemed to freeze in eternity at that moment, her beautiful eyes filled with profound shock and disbelief.
Then, tears full of complex emotions slid from her eyes.
Brother Lin... actually her relative, her brother!
