BXBX NOVEL Chapter 387 - Better Pray For Your Life
Chill? When did he catch a cold? That was when Lin Jing remembered what happened yesterday night. Lin Yu threw an axe at an assassin, and Lin Chen stomped on said axe, making the already injured assassin bleed even more.
He sat up straight again and searched Lin Chen from head to toe with a piercing gaze. He didn\'t see anything wrong with Lin Chen. He was still wearing yesterday\'s clothes, and there was no blood on him either. "That man -"
"What man?" Lin Chen pushed Lin Jing back on the Kang and plopped the wet cloth on his forehead. "Are you feeling alright, elder brother? Did you have a nightmare? You really gave us a scare last night passing out like that. You shouldn\'t push yourself too much!"
"I passed out?" Lin Jing echoed, feeling like he was being made a fool, but he didn\'t see anything wrong when he looked around. He did feel a bit drowsy, and his body was a bit tired. Did he really pass out? But why didn\'t he remember passing out and what was with that assassin and whatnot he remembers?
"Yes, you passed out. You don\'t remember?" Looking a bit confused, Lin Chen covered Lin Jing with a blanket. "Maybe you hit your head quite hard. If not for eldest Uncle, we wouldn\'t have been able to bring you back to your room."
"Is... is that so?" frowned Lin Jing. He wanted to ask more questions, but then his body felt a bit drowsy. He sighed with contentment under the warm blanket while laying on the Kang. Maybe he was indeed overthinking, his brothers were so cute, and he watched them grow up. There is no way that they could be so ruthless, right?
Lin Chen watched Lin Jing sleep and sighed in relief. Thankfully, he was able to distract his elder brother, or else who knows what kind of shock his elder brother would have suffered from? Just one look was enough to make him pass out. If he remembered what happened, then maybe he would have gone into shock.
"How is h..he?" asked Lin Yu, looking up from the unconscious assassin. Last night, they took advantage of the dark and brought the assassin to the abandoned shack near the forest. It was earlier broken into by Uncle Du and Luo Chenxi. Still, more people like them wanted to go on with their affairs, so they secretly built this shack in the past and would use it from time to time to carry out their private business. Of course, it didn\'t matter to Lin Chen and Lin Yu what other people\'s business was or if they used the shed. As long as they didn\'t bother them, the two brothers wouldn\'t bother with those people either.
"He is alright. Your idea of mixing the sleeping pills with the aroma oils worked. Elder brother didn\'t suspect anything," said Lin Chen as he picked up a bucket that was filled with ice-cold water and dumped it all over the assassin\'s head, waking him up. "It\'s a good thing too. The last time he was so shocked he fainted, he was bedridden for three weeks."
"Three weeks?" Shen Junxi, who was here to enjoy the show, couldn\'t help but be shocked. That brat looked quite sturdy, who knew he was such a scaredy-cat.
"Yeah, I was c...caught up in a thug fight once," said Lin Yu as he pinched the assassin\'s nose with a wooden clip. He sighed while thinking about the past and dumped an entire vat of water that he scooped out of the dung ground where villagers went to relieve themselves. His nose scrunched up as the smell was too strong for him. "Elder brother saw me and fell ill b..because of shock. When he recovered, he completely forgot about the fight and the thugs. It was like that fight never happened, and he n...never saw me. It\'s like a defense m...mechanism of his own. He won\'t believe that his brothers can hurt others. Despite how tough he looks, he has a soft heart, and he believes that his younger b..brothers are cute little bunnies. It helps him ps....psychologically, as he wants to believe that he did a rather good job raising us when our father wasn\'t here."
"That\'s stupid," said Shen Junxi after listening to Lin Yu\'s statement. Just because his brothers were ruthless doesn\'t mean he did a lousy job raising them?
"He is like that, just like our mother. A soft persimmon. If they weren\'t gentle like this, our dear grandma wouldn\'t have managed to suppress us all along. We cared about our eldest brother and our mother; that\'s why we didn\'t bother with her. If not, she wouldn\'t be jumping around like that, you know?" since Shen Junxi was like the same pea in their pod, Lin Chen didn\'t bother hiding anything from him.
"Gah, cough! Cough!" the assassin coughed out the dirty water splattering it all over the ground. Lin Yu barely dodged the splashes as he jumped to the side. "Stop! Stop! Please! No more! I will talk, alright! I will talk!"
The assassin didn\'t take the Lin brothers seriously. He thought they were just ordinary farmers. Which was why he took on this task. Who would have known that these two soft bunnies were like freaking monsters that thrashed their victims?
"You should have said so earlier," muttered Lin Chen as he threw another bucket of water at the assassin to clear of the rotten smell. "We had to work so hard to break you. Did you think we wouldn\'t be able to do anything to you? Did you enjoy wasting our time?"
The assassin didn\'t speak, but he clearly had those thoughts before they started to work on him.
Lin Chen tsked, while Lin Yu took the straightforward approach and sneered, "Idiot!"
"Well then, now that you are willing to talk," Lin Chen clapped his hands as he looked at the assassin with a pair of murderous eyes. "Let\'s talk about a few things! The things you tell us will directly impact what happens going forward. Who sent you here, and do you have dirt on them? You better pray that you have a good amount of dirt, or else we would fuck you up real good, and don\'t think that this is the best we can do. My little brother here once worked with Boss Xiao Yi. So you think twice before crossing or lying to us, okay?"
"And after that, you will kill me?" the assassin asked.
Lin Chen grinned as he fisted a handful of the assassin\'s hair and pulled his head back until it creaked. "After you made my second brother cry and hurt my wife until she caught a fever? Nah! I won\'t kill you! I will keep you alive so we can have some fun until I have the head of the woman who hired you.. So you better cooperate with us. The sooner I get my hands on Luo Xin, the sooner you will be free, alright?"
