Chapter 344 Gaining Trust
“I’m not entirely clear about the rights and wrongs of your past.” Wen Ni raised her hand, grabbed Blind Thorn’s chin, and pinched the back of his neck with her other hand, forcing him to look into her eyes. “But what about you? Do you really understand how much your brother loves you?”
"W-What do you mean?" Blind Thorn froze again, his voice trembling. "How could he love me? He should hate me! Yes, he hates me, he resents me, he hates me, he..."
No, you're wrong.
"As far as I know, your parents died in an accident a long time ago. For the past ten years, you brothers have relied on each other, and he is your only family and your only pillar. How could he not love you? He loves you too much, which is why he can't accept that you made such a terrible mistake for him!"
Wen Ni's voice was hoarse, but her gentle words had a calming power.
"His death is a repentance, and also your redemption!"
"He hoped his death would serve as a wake-up call for you, making you realize that it's never too late to turn back. You are his beloved younger brother, the only sun he has ever seen in his sixteen years of life!"
"He doesn't want his sun to be tarnished; he only wants to see you, shining brightly!"
Every word he said deeply affected Blind Assassin.
His world was turned upside down at that moment!
His paranoia, stubbornness, resentment, and self-blame all seemed to suddenly find an outlet, turning into unstoppable tears that pattered down his cheeks!
"elder brother……"
"elder brother!!!"
A suppressed growl, an extreme pain.
Wen Ni lowered her eyes, and her hands, which were resting on her knees, slowly clenched into fists!
She originally intended to use his weakness as leverage.
But when she learned about the past, she felt compassion for him!
Blind assassination certainly made many mistakes, and he doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
But the beginning of all cause and effect is a single word: love!
Love can destroy people, or it can save them.
Even if you make a mistake, you can stop the loss in time.
With a soft "click".
All the light strips in the entire living room turned on automatically, illuminating the entire space!
The bright white light made Wen Ni unable to open her eyes.
She raised one hand to cover her face, and only then could she see a group of people rushing towards her from the stairwell through her fingers.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!"
"Young Master! Blindly stabbing the young master!"
The housekeeper was in front, followed closely by several bodyguards.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a living room littered with broken cups and plates, and even the coffee table had been moved!
Their usually arrogant Blind Thorn Master was now sitting on the ground in a very sorry state! His face was bruised and purple, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot and his hands were tied!
"I heard something was wrong outside while I was in my room, thankfully I called someone to come out and check it out!"
The housekeeper was terrified when she saw this. She rushed forward, helped up Blind Thorn's arm, and angrily put her hands on her hips, pointing directly at Wen Ni's nose!
"Hua Ying! Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to come out after 10 PM if you hear any noise? And you, not only did you break the rules, but you also offended the young Master Blind Thorn! Hmph! It seems we can't keep you in this villa! Guards..."
"Wait a minute, Aunt Zhang."
Blind Thorn staggered to his feet and tried to stop him in a hoarse voice.
The housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, said with a slightly exaggerated expression, "Young master! If you're not feeling well, don't do it yourself. I'll have someone drag Hua Ying out right now, dismember his hands and legs, and turn him into a roly-poly toy to guard the door!"
"no."
"Mr. Blind Thorn? What do you mean by this? He tied you up like this, and you're still protecting him? People like him deserve to be taught a lesson..."
"I said no, and that's final!" Blind Thorn suddenly snapped, startling the housekeeper so much that she immediately knelt down, head bowed. He commanded in a chilling tone, "I'm telling you, no one is allowed to touch Hua Ying!"
"Ah? Yes...yes!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Blind Assassin's temperament is unpredictable. If this happened to anyone else, he would have torn that person to pieces long ago! But what about now?
Don't touch Hua Ying!
These words are as valuable to them as a get-out-of-jail-free card!
Wen Ni's tightly clenched hands, hanging by her sides, gradually loosened.
She took a risky move, but fortunately, she still managed to outmaneuver him!
Blind Thorn turned and gave Wen Ni a deep look, then refused the housekeeper's help and limped upstairs on his own.
Leaving the living room in a complete mess
Wen Ni breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the orange short-sleeved shirt that had been thrown back onto the sofa, and swaggered back to her bedroom, closing the door behind her!
The group left in the living room looked at each other, their minds filled with questions.
The next day at dawn
Wen Ni received another phone call telling her to go out.
This time, however, it's for work purposes!
She had been infiltrating the Blind Assassin's side for quite some time now, and finally, she got her chance to do something serious!
Where are we going today?
"East Wharf, pick up a batch of goods."
When we say "receiving goods," we really only mean receiving goods.
And it's a perfectly normal product!
The Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce will inevitably be more defensive.
How could she, a newcomer bodyguard, possibly have access to such important things?
"It doesn't matter."
"I've made it through five months, so I don't mind making it through a few more!"
Standing on one side of the dock, Wen Ni curved her lips into a smile.
With one hand in her pocket, she lit another cigarette while gazing at the sunset.
Not far behind
Blind Thorn, dressed in a black casual suit, stood there, holding a delivery note and checking it with the delivery person.
He would occasionally look up and gaze at Wen Ni's retreating figure!
Ouch!
"careful!"
Wen Ni was standing on the dock looking up at the sky when a laborer carrying a sack came over and suddenly collapsed.
Upon seeing this, she immediately threw down her cigarette butt and used one hand to catch the large sack that was about to be thrown at her!
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Are you alright!" The laborer, a man in his forties or fifties, had whip marks all over his arms. His weathered face showed terror. He quickly threw the sack aside and knelt down straight in front of Wen Ni. "Please, please spare my life! I have children at home who are waiting for me to send money back to support them!"
These laborers were forced to sign indentured servitude contracts and could not go home even once a year.
Regardless of whether they made a mistake or not, if the boss is unhappy, they are bound to get a beating!
The supervisor in charge of the work came over with a stern face, the whip in his hand cracking loudly. With a snap, he lashed out at the old laborer!
"Ah! No!"
The old laborer subconsciously hunched over, raising his hands to cover his head, but after a while, he did not experience the expected pain.
He hesitated before raising his head.
The other laborers behind him also secretly looked up and peeked out!
There stood Wen Ni, a tall and slender young man dressed in a black shirt and trousers, who precisely caught the whip that was being swung at him with one hand!
At that moment, she was like a goddess descending from the heavens!
"What are you doing?" the foreman asked, his eyes wide.
"Don't hit them."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" the foreman sneered, making a move to whip him back!
Wen Ni stood still, then suddenly twisted her wrist, the whip wrapped around her arm, and pulled her back forcefully, causing the overseer to stumble and fall to his knees in front of the old laborer!
The old laborer was startled and quickly scrambled backward.
"They're fucking asking for it!" the foreman gritted his teeth, furious.
He pointed at Wen Ni and was about to start cursing when a sharp whip lashed out and struck the foreman's arm, causing him to howl in pain!
Everyone turned around in surprise, and when they saw that the person holding the whip was Blind Thorn, they shuddered again!
"Blind, blind assassin young master..."
