He stared at Li Meng as he left, and it was not until a few minutes later that they walked out of the alley that Lin Lidong stood up and let go of the younger brother.
The lower half of the little brother's face was covered in blood, but his legs and feet were still working fine. He stumbled out as soon as he was free...
Several people did not relax their nerves because they were worried that Li Meng would strike back again, so they immediately left the alley, walked along the side of the road to the intersection, crossed the night market, and got into the car in the parking lot before they felt relieved.
Lin Lidong also walked silently along the way, followed all the way to the parking lot and finally sat in the passenger seat of the car.
He smelled very bad, and had a few rotten vegetable leaves on his head. Within a few minutes of getting in the car, the whole car was filled with a fishy and foul smell.
Although it smelled bad, the few of them didn't say anything. After all, they were able to escape today thanks to his timely action, otherwise it would be unknown whether they would still be alive.
Relaxed, Hao Zhengguang hugged his injured arm and began to wail. Qin Yuer also dropped her ladylike attitude, tore a piece of white silk from the hem of her white dress, and bandaged his wound a little clumsily: "Stop crying out! You're the first person besides my brother to let me bandage your wound. It's a great honor!"
Hao Zhengguang grinned and said, "I screamed because it hurts. Don't you see how deep the wound is? Don't say you are the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Even if the Queen Mother came to serve you, it would still hurt..."
The two of them bickered in the back as You Tianfu started the car and drove towards the villa. On the way, he turned around to look at Lin Lidong and asked, "How did you get into this state? When did you return to Lujiu City?"
Lin Lidong took a deep breath: "After escaping from prison, I have been in Lujiu City and have never left..."
The tone of his reply contained a multitude of emotions: some helplessness, some sadness. You Tianfu could tell his story was incredibly complex, so he didn't ask any further questions. He immediately changed the subject and thanked him, "Thank you for what you did today. If it weren't for you, we..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Lidong. He looked straight ahead with a serious expression: "I once promised that if you are willing to help me, I will repay you with my life!
Since we've met, it's fate. From today on, my life, Lin Lidong, is yours!"
His serious look startled You Tianfu, who smiled bitterly and said, "No need... no need to be so polite. Besides, why would I want your life..."
Lin Lidong stopped talking and continued to stare silently ahead, his pair of prismatic eyes filled with stories...
After they successfully escaped, Qin Yuer reported to Qin Yuhao that they were safe. When they returned to the villa, they found that Li Junmin, Lu Chuan, Hu Jicheng, Ma Liu, and Wang Ning had all come, and were waiting anxiously in the yard with Qin Yuhao and Aunt Hong.
Qin Yuer's white skirt was stained with a lot of Hao Zhengguang's blood. Qin Yuhao's face turned pale when he saw this. He checked her from head to toe and found that she was not hurt. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the living room on the first floor, You Tianfu recounted the events and then introduced Lin Lidong. Lu Chuan and the others naturally had an impression of him and looked at Lin Lidong with a hint of surprise.
No matter what, fortunately, several people were safe. Qin Yuhao asked the others to go home, and then instructed his younger brother to pick up a private doctor overnight. While treating the wounds of You Tianfu and Hao Zhengguang, he also gave Qin Yuer a comprehensive examination. He was completely relieved after confirming that everything was fine.
Qin Yuhao did not let Lin Lidong leave, because he was the main hero tonight, so he asked Aunt Hong to clean up another room and let him stay for a while and make plans later.
After treating his wounds and returning to his bed, You Tianfu began to feel a wave of fear. He couldn't believe that he had almost lost his life tonight. Although he was sleepy and tired, the moment he closed his eyes, he could only see the cold flash of the short blade. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Qin Yuhao didn't call everyone to eat, perhaps because he knew they were too tired last night. He didn't gather everyone at the dinner table until noon.
Lin Lidong had already taken a shower and changed into a formal suit, which was the work uniform of a bodyguard outside. It seemed to be a few sizes too big and looked out of place on him.
Qin Yuhao didn't ask about Lin Lidong's background, as if he already knew it. Instead, he turned to look at You Tianfu and said, "He has nowhere to go, so he'll stay here with you for now. Since he's been targeted by the Wenshan Group, he shouldn't go out for the time being. If you need anything, tell Aunt Hong and she'll help you prepare it."
Lin Lidong wasn't from a wealthy family, so living in such a luxurious villa made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. But Qin Yuhao was right. He had nowhere else to go, so he had no choice but to stay here temporarily.
As they spent more time together, they naturally talked more. Hao Zhengguang had always been curious about what crime Lin Lidong had committed and why he had escaped from prison. And You Tianfu also wanted to know what story was hidden behind his weathered face and complex eyes.
At first, Lin Lidong was reluctant to talk about the past. He just waved his hands and remained silent when asked. It was not until he heard Qin Yuer's coquettish pleading that his dull eyes suddenly lit up, and the first words he said were, "I have a sister who is as beautiful as you!"
Lin Lidong's life has been rather bumpy, and from childhood to adulthood, it means that his first half of life has not been smooth.
In his early years, he was born in an ordinary family. His parents ran a small business and they lived a comfortable life.
When Lin Lidong was seven years old, he had a younger sister, Lin Lixin. The arrival of their second child was not planned, but rather an unexpected event. The couple couldn't bear to abort the baby, so they kept it.
With another child and an extra burden, coupled with the fact that business was slow in those years, Lin Lidong's father had no other choice but to go to the mines, working there day in and day out. Fortunately, the salary was quite good, barely enough to cover the family expenses.
However, high wages come with high risks. When Lin Lixin was two years old, a mine disaster occurred in the mine. The mine collapsed from the middle to the bottom, and seven people, including Lin Lidong's father, did not come out alive.
This was a devastating blow. Lin Lidong's mother fainted several times from crying and even contemplated suicide. Fortunately, her two children kept her going, and with the compensation money from the mine, she managed to get through the difficult early years and raised her two children single-handedly.
Family changes did not make Lin Lidong a sensible child. Instead, he became more rebellious due to the lack of his father's discipline. When he was in school, he either fought or made trouble, and the trouble was not small, which alarmed the police station several times.
Lin Lidong wasn't a big, strong man, nor tall, with dark skin and three naturally wrinkled foreheads. Despite this physique, he never lost a fight, relying on his uncommon ferocity and ruthlessness.
