Chapter 331 Let bygones be bygones
You can hear the pride in his voice from the several sentences he spoke.
Lin Zhiqing didn't look at Jiang Liuyun, but stared at Lin Yangyang:
"Cousin, you've captured me as they requested. Have they kept their promise?"
"Can't you see that this is just a trick?"
"Who knows, maybe in the end, you, my cousin, and I won't be able to return to the Lin family."
Jiang Liuyun frowned and was in a bad mood.
However, even he himself could not tell whether his bad mood was due to Lin Zhiqing's misleading words or because Lin Zhiqing ignored him.
He moved his feet slightly, blocking Lin Zhiqing's gaze from looking at Lin Yangyang, and then spoke:
"Don't try to deceive Lin Yangyang with words. Don't you know why she did this?"
"That's right!" Lin Yangyang continued, "If you hadn't saved Shi'an, I wouldn't have gotten to this point!"
"Only by cooperating with the Jiang family can I see a glimmer of hope. If you do nothing, you will only let Shi'an lose his life in vain."
"Well said!" Jiang Yunhe clapped his hands twice: "That's exactly the truth."
"Zhiqing, I have always valued you. As long as you tell me the news about Zheng Kuo, I will forgive you for all the things you did to the Jiang family before."
"Let bygones be bygones?" Lin Zhiqing sneered, looking very angry.
"In all my years, I've never heard of a perpetrator forgiving a victim."
"This Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many twisted theories."
"You harmed my father, my fourth uncle, and my cousin, and now you want to harm me too. You just let bygones be bygones. How long will the Lin family survive?"
"The Lin family has survived for so many years, what's the point of these few years?" Jiang Yunhe smiled nonchalantly.
"Zhiqing, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."
As if he had already controlled Lin Zhiqing, he took off several of his false masks and spoke more bluntly:
"The Lin family has enjoyed prosperity for many years. Lin Congrong and Lin Qingshan have enjoyed the best resources since they were born, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Why are you always so well-dressed and well-fed? When I was just a soldier, fighting on the battlefield, what was Lin Congrong doing?"
Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Yunhe.
Jiang Yunhe didn't care whether she answered or not, and answered on his own:
"Lin Congrong was playing pot-tossing and cricket-fighting with those noblemen. How did he ascend to such a high position the moment he arrived? Isn't it because of his family background?"
Hearing these words, Lin Yangyang frowned slightly.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't stand it any longer: "If my father relied on his family background, why would he have ignored my grandfather's objections and joined the army? Couldn't he have just waited to inherit the title?"
"Besides, his high position was earned through countless scars and blood. You're just a second-rate idiot who schemed your way to the top. What's the difference between you and a thief?"
“Bang!”
As soon as Lin Zhiqing finished speaking, he felt a burning pain on his face.
Jiang Liuyun opened his lips slightly, a little surprised.
Lin Yangyang stared at the hand that Jiang Yunhe used to hit someone, gritted her teeth, but quickly looked away.
Jiang Yunhe withdrew his hand, his eyes looking like he wanted to eat someone:
"Who gave you permission to talk nonsense?"
After all, he has been to the battlefield and his hands are quite strong.
Lin Zhiqing suppressed the bloody taste in his mouth and looked at Jiang Yunhe with a mocking look:
"You know very well whether what I said is nonsense or not."
"How dare you!" Jiang Yunhe seemed to have some kind of switch turned on, and he became extremely violent.
He raised his hand again, about to hit Lin Zhiqing in the face.
Lin Yangyang clenched his fists and slowly took a step forward.
"Father!" Jiang Liuyun grabbed Jiang Yunhe's wrist.
Jiang Yunhe turned his head and stared at Jiang Liuyun with an almost terrifying look.
Seeing this, Lin Yangyang's chest rose and fell slightly and he stepped back.
"Father, don't fall for this woman's trick. She's deliberately trying to provoke you." Jiang Liuyun pressed Jiang Yunhe's arm down.
"If she died in the Jiang family, we wouldn't be able to explain it!"
Jiang Yunhe turned around and stared fiercely at Jiang Liuyun's face: "You'd better be afraid that we can't explain it."
"Of course, don't forget, we still have to dig out information about Zheng Kuo from her." Jiang Liuyun swallowed.
"Hmph." Jiang Yunhe shook off Jiang Liuyun's hand without taking any further action.
The Jiang Yunhe just now seemed to be a different person from the one who usually appeared in front of the public, which shows how superb his disguise was.
That kind of bloodthirsty look was the first time Lin Zhiqing saw on the face of someone from Dasheng.
In the past, she had only seen it when treating certain special mental patients.
However, this is not a bad thing. She had her reasons for deliberately angering Jiang Yunhe.
People are prone to impulsiveness only when they are extremely angry, and their words and actions can reveal many problems.
For example, now, Lin Zhiqing can see that Jiang Yunhe is a person who is very sensitive about his background, and especially cannot accept others saying that he is not as good as Lin Congrong.
From beginning to end, he was standing while speaking, which was obviously an attempt to put pressure on others by looking down on them.
But in other words, he lacks the confidence and assurance to create a sense of oppression on others by being at eye level with them.
This was probably because Jiang Yunhe often compared him with others in the past, but failed to surpass them, so he paid special attention to this point.
In addition, the father and son of the Jiang family seem to be of one mind, but they are extremely averse to physical contact with each other. Obviously, they have considerable conflicts in their daily lives.
Moreover, they each had their own ulterior motives and seemed to be wary of each other.
This is a gain.
As for the slap on her face, Lin Zhiqing's eyes became sharp for a moment. She would definitely pay it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
In addition, she did not miss the worried and distressed look in Jiang Liuyun's eyes when he looked at her just now.
Realizing Jiang Liuyun's secret feelings for her, she mobilized her eye muscles and her eyes suddenly became very fragile.
Jiang Liuyun didn't know what Lin Zhiqing was thinking. When his eyes touched the blood at the corner of Lin Zhiqing's mouth, he felt it was very dazzling.
Similarly, he also caught Lin Zhiqing's fragile eyes.
He closed his eyes and raised his voice:
"If you still hold on tight and refuse to let go, don't blame me for being rude. Just consider that slap I gave you just now as a lesson."
Lin Zhiqing frowned, turned away and didn't look at him, obviously not wanting to talk.
He usually refuses to suffer any loss, but today he is so stubborn... Jiang Liuyun took a deep breath in his heart, not forgetting to observe Jiang Yunhe's reaction.
Seeing that Jiang Yunhe was getting impatient, his heart started to rise again, and he turned his attention directly to Lin Yangyang:
"Lin Yangyang, you said you know news about Zheng Kuo. Tell me first."
Lin Yangyang glanced at the blood on the corner of Lin Zhiqing's mouth, looked at her, then immediately looked away, her tone becoming more serious:
"Zheng Kuo died a long time ago."
