The sound of blunt objects hitting flesh was so clear.
Lin Yusheng realized what was happening and ran crying toward the source of the sound.
Brother, wait for me, wait for me.
She finally arrived and saw her once-respectable brother lying on the ground covered in blood.
His once-proud face is now scarred and he no longer has the strength to get up.
The four burly men looked at him with disdain and arrogance.
One of them spat and said, "A pretty boy, not bad at killing."
Lin Jingyu's mouth was full of blood as he shakily reached out to grab a man's trouser leg.
He spoke with difficulty, his face full of pleading, "Please, please, let me go. My sister is sick, she can't live without me."
The four men burst into laughter, and the leader said, "Your sister has someone who loves her, so don't worry about her."
After saying that, the man raised the baseball bat in his hand high and then struck it with all his might. With a muffled thud, Lin Jingyu opened his eyes, but showed no signs of life.
No matter how hard Lin Yusheng ran, she couldn't reach Lin Jingyu's side, so she could only watch him lose his dignity, which couldn't save her own life.
Seeing that he was still thinking about her until his death.
Lin Yusheng broke down in tears, heartbroken and unable to breathe.
The surrounding environment changed.
She was in complete darkness, unable to see a single ray of light. Her body was falling, and the wind howled in her ears as if trying to tear her apart.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, a strong hand encircled her waist, and her cold body gradually warmed up.
A faint voice, tinged with worry, drifted over, "Lin Yusheng, wake up, don't sleep."
Lin Yusheng suddenly opened her eyes, but her thoughts had not yet returned.
Realizing she was being held by someone else, she felt nauseous and bit down hard.
A muffled groan came from beside my ear.
A look of pain flashed across Lu Zhengye's face, but he did not stop Lin Yusheng from venting her anger.
Only a desk lamp was on in the room. When Lin Yusheng's vision cleared, her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
She suddenly released her strength, then broke free from Lu Zhengye's embrace and moved back a few feet.
When she saw Lu Zhengye, she realized what she had done.
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare, I'm so sorry."
As Lin Yusheng spoke, she frantically searched for tissues to stop Lu Zhengye's bleeding, her cheeks streaked with tears.
But Lu Zhengye stretched out his long arm and once again imprisoned her in his arms.
She was trembling all over.
This was the first time Lu Zhengye had seen her so emotionally out of control. He asked urgently, "What happened? Tell me."
Perhaps it was Lu Zhengye's voice that pulled her back to reality, making her feel that the voice was unbelievably gentle.
Lin Yusheng buried her face in Lu Zhengye's arms and cried uncontrollably.
Lu Zhengye awkwardly patted her back, telling her not to cry.
Lin Yusheng, however, could not calm down.
She looked up at Lu Zhengye with teary eyes and asked, "Lu Zhengye, will you protect me?"
Lu Zhengye's muscles tensed, he swallowed hard, and then said, "Yes."
Just one word, and Lin Yusheng's heart gradually calmed down.
Lu Zhengye stayed with Lin Yusheng until she stopped crying, then he said, "I'll go turn on a light first."
Lin Yusheng consciously got out of his arms, but her heart and body were still craving his body heat.
With a "click," the room brightened up. Lin Yusheng, who had just been crying, squinted uncomfortably.
Lu Zhengye walked over and blocked her way, his shadow enveloping her.
Lin Yusheng then noticed his bitten shoulder, where blood was still trickling out.
"I'll go get the first-aid kit."
Lin Yusheng was about to get down after speaking, but Lu Zhengye stopped her by pressing down on her shoulder with one hand.
He said, "I'll go."
Then he turned around and went downstairs to get the first-aid kit.
...
Lin Yusheng helped him treat his wounds, and she didn't hold back, so the teeth marks were deeply embedded in his flesh.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Lin Yusheng asked, her voice trembling with tears.
She had just rinsed her mouth, but the metallic taste of blood still lingered in it.
Lu Zhengye said, "I thought you were a vampire who needed to drink blood regularly."
He spoke calmly, but Lin Yusheng knew he was teasing her.
Lin Yusheng curved her lips into a smile, but tears welled up in her eyes again.
“Tell me what’s wrong, don’t cry all the time,” Lu Zhengye said, frowning.
He complained, but his hands honestly wiped away her tears.
Lin Yusheng shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I was just scared by a nightmare."
She didn't know how to say it, because she could feel that it wasn't just a dream, but something that had really happened in her past life.
Her previous feeling was correct; Lu Zechuan was the mastermind behind her family's destruction and death.
Lu Zhengye's deep eyes were fixed on her. "What dream did you have?"
"I've forgotten, it seems like I dreamt that my family members left."
“Dreams are always the opposite of reality, go to sleep,” Lu Zhengye said.
Lin Yusheng nodded.
The lights were turned off again, this time Lu Zhengye left a night light on.
After having a nightmare, Lin Yusheng clung to Lu Zhengye, hugging his thin waist and touching the scar on his back with her hand inside his clothes.
Unable to fall asleep, Lin Yusheng asked, "Lu Zhengye, you must have had a very hard life before, right?"
Lin Yusheng noticed that Lu Zhengye had a lot of old wounds. They were not obvious at first glance, but once you got closer, you would find that he had gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and whip marks from not long ago.
Lu Zhengye was taken aback; this was the first time Lin Yusheng had asked about his past.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "It's alright."
It was a casual reply, but Lin Yusheng knew that his experiences could never be as mundane as he made them out to be.
She had researched the Island of the Dead, which could be described as a living hell.
Lin Yusheng closed her eyes; she could feel that Lu Zhengye was treating her better and better.
It was so good that she began to feel guilty, began to crave it, and gradually succumbed to its influence.
But she had to stay clear-headed; Deng Xingwen was just the beginning of her revenge plan.
She silently said in her heart, "Lu Zhengye, I'm sorry."
*
The next day, Lin Yusheng was woken up by the ringing of the telephone.
She groggily opened her eyes, and Lu Zhengye had already handed her his phone.
When Lin Yusheng saw the words "brother" on the sign, her heart sank.
The moment has finally arrived.
Since the incident, she has been talking to her family, saying that she will explain to them after things are over.
Unexpectedly, this day came so soon. Lin Yusheng answered the phone, "Hello, brother."
"Dad is in the hospital. Come to the hospital yourself."
Lin Jingyu's voice was no longer as relaxed as before; instead, it carried a stern tone.
His last sentence, in particular, made Lin Yusheng's heart sink.
Netizens may not recognize Lu Zhengye, but people in high society generally do.
So the moment Deng Xingwen revealed the news, her parents and many other people knew about it.
My brother came over not long ago, and the three of them had a meal together. My brother will definitely make connections to the relationship between the two of them.
