Before anyone could react, a bullet, seemingly out of nowhere, pierced Li Nan's gun-wielding hand with deadly accuracy—no one had anticipated this!
Lu Hong's men stopped fighting, and Lin Qisheng's mercenaries didn't dare to make a move either. Who exactly was this third party?!
But Lu Hong didn't have time to think about that now.
The moment Li Nan's hand was pierced, the pistol pressed against the back of Lin Qisheng's head fell to the ground. Even though she endured the pain and immediately tried to use her other hand to hold the pistol and control Lin Qisheng, Lin Qisheng reacted even faster than her!
He immediately seized the opportunity and kicked Li Nan before she could react.
The next moment, Li Nan fell backward!
Without Lin Qisheng saying a word, the mercenaries who had been too afraid to move reacted quickly and immediately surrounded him to cover his retreat.
"Lu Hong, Li Nan, I will definitely kill you!"
Lin Qisheng only had time to utter this last curse before fleeing in a sorry state under the cover of the mercenaries.
The situation changed too quickly. Lu Hong and his group clashed with the mercenaries again, and reinforcements arrived immediately to help them. However, Lin Qisheng was focused on escaping and had no time to stop them!
Continuing the pursuit yielded no results, so Lu Hong had no choice but to order his men to stop, lest they fall into the hands of mercenaries who were only after money and not their lives, thus increasing unnecessary casualties.
Lu Hong stepped forward and helped Li Nan up: "Are you alright? Did you see clearly who fired the shot?"
"No, but... it should be in that direction."
Li Nan shook her head and pointed to a spot not far away.
Before Lu Hong could send people to search, he looked up and unexpectedly saw a figure that shouldn't be there, standing in the direction Li Nan was pointing.
That's the upper part of the church, quite far from here.
Up there, a sniper rifle was mounted. Lin Chen, wearing a tactical vest, got up from the ground, his tactical boots on the edge, looking down at them with a cold gaze.
Lu Hong was furious: "What on earth is he doing?!"
Before he could question him, his subordinate handed him a phone. It was a video call from Lin Chen. Lu Hong could only suppress his anger for the time being. After answering, he looked at the upright young man on the phone, his expression still displeased.
Lu Hong said in a deep voice, "Young Master Lin, I don't know what you mean by this. Since we've already cooperated, why do you need to save Lin Qisheng? Don't tell me—"
He paused, then scoffed, "You care about that little bit of father-son relationship?"
"I have my own plans, Commander Lu."
Faced with the questioning, Lin Chen remained calm and composed.
But Lu Hong continued, "I don't know what Young Master Lin is planning, but since we've already cooperated, what do you mean by letting Lin Qisheng escape? Young Master Lin knows how difficult he is to catch!"
"Are you going to take responsibility for the manpower and resources I've invested, and the casualties of my subordinates? Young Master Lin, I demand an explanation!"
On the other end of the video call, Lin Chen suddenly laughed.
He slowly wiped his sniper rifle and asked in return, "Have you obtained the evidence against the Lin family, Commander Lu?"
"I got it, but—"
Lin Chen interrupted Lu Hong directly: "Once you have the evidence, you can deal with the Lin family directly. Isn't that what our cooperation is all about? Did I say I would help you arrest Lin Qisheng?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong laughed in anger, his words laced with sarcasm.
"Good, good, young master Lin, you're quite clever. I didn't expect you to still care about this father. You really are a family."
"He can't escape."
Lin Chen wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he put away his sniper rifle and casually said, "He won't be able to leave this area, Commander Lu."
"You don't mean to—"
Lu Hong suddenly came to his senses and finally understood Lin Chen's words.
Lin Chen looked down at Lu Hong, his smile deepening: "Commander Lu, I don't consider myself a good person, so I didn't say anything. It was for revenge for those who were killed by Lin Qisheng, for fairness and justice, because I felt his punishment was too lenient."
“I’m a bad person, Commander Lu, so I can’t let the law carry out justice. I only want to use vigilante justice.”
"Let my cat avenge her."
After saying that, the video call ended, and in the eyes of Lu Hong and the others, Lin Chen's figure, carrying a sniper rifle, disappeared from the high place of the church not far away.
Seeing this, Li Nan asked in return, "Should we go after them, sir?"
"No."
Lu Hong took a deep breath: "It's too late. There's no need to chase anymore. Lin Chen won't let Lin Qisheng leave alive."
Li Nan was taken aback, and then understood the conversation they had just had.
Lin Chen is a bad person.
But he was a good person only when he was with that one person.
As they were about to leave, Lu Hong sighed and said to Li Nan, "Be careful, we can't afford to cause any more trouble."
"But isn't Lin Qisheng going to die, sir?"
"...That depends on Ruan Qingan not getting into trouble."
Lu Hong paused: "If something happens to her, the bottom line and principles that restrict Lin Chen will be completely destroyed. He is an even more terrifying madman than Lin Qisheng. They share the same blood."
That crazy, almost obsessive love made Lu Hong feel a chill down his spine; Lin Chen was even crazier than Lin Qisheng.
...
Meanwhile, on the sea surface.
When Lin Qisheng finally managed to escape to the ship, he was instantly surrounded by mercenaries who had been lying in ambush there. The men he had brought back were already covered in wounds and were powerless to resist.
These people were originally mercenaries of the Lin family!
Lin Qisheng's face turned pale: "What's going on with you guys?"
"After Lin Chen left, these people were already his men. Lin Qisheng, you can't escape today."
Just then, a voice as melodious as a nightingale's song rang out.
Ruan Qingan stood not far away, with several mercenaries protecting her. Clearly, these mercenaries were under her control.
Her leaden eyes stared coldly at Lin Qisheng: "Lin Qisheng, you deserve to die. Starting with Xia An'an, you've harmed far too many people. A hundred lives wouldn't be enough for you to pay for it!"
"I just loved her. She's dead, and I'm searching for her shadow. What's wrong with me? How did I end up harming An'an!"
When Xia An'an was mentioned, Lin Qisheng completely lost control of his emotions.
Ruan Qing'an sneered, "I've already investigated Xia An'an's affairs. She doesn't like you at all. She has her own childhood sweetheart. You completely forced her to stay by your side and then killed her with your own hands."
"Xia An'an's remains are still in the dark room under your bed, Lin Qisheng. Is this your love? It's fucking disgusting."
By the end, Ruan Qingan had already started cursing in a deep voice.
This scumbag deserves to die ten thousand times over!
When Lin Qisheng heard about Xia An'an's body, he completely lost control of his emotions. It was as if something hidden deep in his heart had been dug out, and he fell into a state of madness.
He repeated Xia An'an's name over and over again, professing his love over and over again, but—
Her body was under the bed where he slept every day.
How ridiculous!
Seeing Lin Qisheng's completely out of control, Ruan Qing'an lowered her eyes, turned around, and said to the mercenary, "Make your move."
Lin Qisheng has gone mad...
Then, the sound of bullets rang out.
When Lin Chen arrived on the ship, Lin Qisheng was already lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing. The other mercenaries stood aside, while the person he had been longing for was leaning against the railing by the ship, head down, lost in thought.
As Lin Chen walked past Lin Qisheng, his trouser leg was tugged. He paused, looked down, and saw that Lin Qisheng was on his last breath, looking at Lin Chen as if in a final burst of energy.
"It was...it was you who designed...everything..."
"Yes, it's me."
"Haha... I really did give birth to a... good son... Hahaha... You will, you will... walk the same path as me... Lin Chen, you will..."
As Lin Qisheng spoke, large spurts of blood gushed from the corner of his lips, and the light in his eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, his voice becoming barely audible: "You...you won't be able to control yourself...to hurt her...We're all crazy, crazy people..."
"We all share the same blood..."
When Lin Qisheng finished speaking his last words, he had already breathed his last. Lin Chen squatted down, broke his hand, and then loosened his trouser leg. When he stood up, he looked at Lin Qisheng with deep emotion.
After a brief silence, Lin Chen turned around and looked into the distance.
The petite girl was leaning against the railing, her eyes half-closed, as if she was also a little unaccustomed to doing such a thing.
Just seeing her profile.
Lin Chen felt his desires screaming – possessiveness, domestication, all the vile and filthy desires were exposed under the spell called love, like a net from heaven and earth.
Lin Chen had always known that he and Lin Qisheng were the same.
But just then, Ruan Qing'an seemed to emerge from her emotions, and when she looked up in a daze, those leaden gray eyes saw him, and then—as if they were filled with stars, shining brightly.
When she saw him, she couldn't help but smile.
She was still like a cat, like a rose, like... everything about him.
"Lin Chen!"
"...Here it comes."
The young man paused, then stepped forward with his usual helplessness.
He thought—
As long as she keeps watching him, he will be like a wild beast with a collar, suppressing all his clamor in his heart. He is the same as Lin Qisheng, yet different.
Love is both unrestrained and restrained.
Because he truly loved her with all his heart, Father…
