Chapter 407 This was not an accident, but a carefully calculated exposure.
Ji Linshen's calm voice fell to the ground, and there was dead silence all around.
His plain words formed a picture of hell that was unimaginable to others, but enough to chill anyone who heard it to the bone.
The heaviness in the air was so thick that it was almost suffocating.
None of the four Lu brothers spoke.
Lu Yannan's gaze fell on Ji Linshen's profile with a complicated expression.
Lu Chixu suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the end of the corridor leading to the prison cell.
The words that Ji Linshen said in the car that night instantly echoed clearly in his ears. Combined with the understated but more cruel words in front of him, Lu Chixu felt as if something was pressing on his chest, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the grief and anger surging in his chest.
Lu Qiyun turned his head and looked towards the corridor.
Lu Jianheng stood next to Ji Linshen, his eyes fixed on Ji Linshen.
He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked with gravel and no sound came out.
What kind of purgatory could force a person to count and watch the deaths of their loved ones?
For the first time, he felt that he knew nothing about this seemingly powerful brother-in-law.
Ji Linshen looked calm, but his slightly shaking hands at his side betrayed his inner unrest at the moment.
He could see the silent fear, grief and imperceptible heartache in his brothers' eyes.
Feeling distressed?
Ji Linshen was startled, then lowered his eyelashes and curled his lips in self-mockery.
He must have seen it wrong. They should only be wary of him, afraid of him, or even disgusted with him. How could they possibly feel sorry for him?
At most... a little pity.
His Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't explain.
The next moment, he raised his legs with an expressionless face, his shoulders and back straight, walked straight past his brothers who were frozen in place, and strode towards the exit.
The cold light outlined his tall and lonely back.
The straight back is like a solid barrier, blocking all possible prying eyes and pity.
He sealed that past soaked in blood and despair behind him, leaving only a resolute and cold silhouette to his brothers.
It was not until Ji Linshen's footsteps disappeared at the end of the deep corridor that the stagnant air began to flow slightly.
Several people looked at each other, no need to say more.
The same emotion was clearly engraved in each other's eyes, which was the unquestionable heartache after the shock faded.
Ji Linshen walked out of the corner of everyone's sight.
When the gaze behind him completely disappeared, his back, which had been tense all the time, relaxed slightly, releasing some of the fatigue that had been suppressed for too long.
He walked silently through the empty corridor and headed towards the outdoor parking lot.
Chu Qi hurriedly got out of the car and tried to open the door, but Ji Linshen raised his hand to stop him.
He walked to the front of the car and reached out to open the door himself.
The moment his fingertips were about to touch the cold car door handle, his fingers curled up, paused for a moment, and then he gripped it tightly.
He quickly got into the back seat and the door slammed shut, isolating the inside from the outside.
The space inside the car is enclosed.
Ji Lin leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.
Chu Qi glanced carefully in the rearview mirror and saw that his young master had his eyes closed, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed.
His right hand rested on his lap, and the knuckle of his index finger was unconsciously and repeatedly pressing against the tip of his thumb.
Once, and again...
The subtle movement revealed his uneasy heart at the moment.
He did it on purpose.
When Lu Yannan proposed to bring the person to his territory for interrogation, he deliberately suggested coming here.
This cage holds his biological father and also locks away his darkest past.
This was not an accident, but a carefully calculated exposure.
He knew all too well what was inside.
It was an ugly, old scar oozing pus and blood.
He chose to uncover this scar with his own hands in front of the Lu brothers.
He exposed his most sinister, cruel and incomprehensible method of revenge before them without any concealment.
He stripped himself naked, not only to show his father's miserable condition.
He even threw the shadow deep in his soul, soaked in blood and hatred, nakedly into the broad daylight.
Thrown at the feet of Lu Shiman’s closest relatives.
He just wanted them to see how he climbed out of that road and see how thick the ink was in his bones.
He wanted to know, after witnessing the bloody truth, how much tolerance they still had for him, their "brother-in-law"?
Will he turn around and persuade Shi Man to stay away from this devil, or...
In a corner of his heart that he tried desperately to suppress, there was actually a faint, almost illusory expectation.
I hope they can understand the cause of this darkness, even if only a little.
But as soon as this thought emerged, it was crushed by greater self-loathing and cold predictions.
How is that possible?
They would probably just think he was sick, scary, and that he would eventually give up to protect his sister...
The car window blocked out the world, and also blocked out his final temptations and anxieties.
Although the sun was shining outside, there seemed to be a disgusting smell still lingering inside the car.
Ji Linshen didn't open his eyes, but sank deeper into the shadow of the chair.
Lu Yannan was driving the car, and Lu Chixu was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window with his head tilted. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes were a little red.
Lu Jianheng lowered his eyes, stroking the car window frame with his fingertips to calm himself down.
Lu Qiyun also looked out the car window.
There was silence in the car and no one spoke.
"What did Manman say to you on the phone?" Lu Yannan broke the silence.
Lu Jianheng came out of his thoughts: "Expressing dissatisfaction, scolding me for not being home, scolding the fourth brother for wandering around with his broken body, and scolding the second brother for giving his phone as a tribute, to be used for reading."
"She called me?" Lu Chixu took out his cell phone and saw that there were indeed two missed calls.
Lu Yannan pondered for a moment: "Then what are you scolding me for?"
"Brother, you can figure it out with your butt. She will only flatter you and won't scold you."
Lu Shiman walked around the house several times, calculated that the time was about right, and pressed the call button.
The phone was picked up almost instantly, and a deep, familiar voice immediately came close to my eardrum: "Wife, I just finished my work."
"Oh." Lu Shiman's face flushed slightly, and she muttered softly, "Next time, don't call me wife as soon as you answer the phone. It's so embarrassing."
Ji Linshen let out a low chuckle from the receiver: "Okay, got it, at home?" He naturally changed the subject.
"Well, I haven't seen you today." Lu Shiman's voice softened unconsciously, and after a pause, he said, "I missed you a lot."
Those words were like a warm honey bullet, accurately piercing Ji Linshen's heart which was on the verge of freezing.
He suddenly closed his eyes, his breathing slowing down for a few beats. "On the way."
"Then I guess you'll definitely pass by that wheel cake shop and buy a few for me, right?"
Ji Linshen's Adam's apple rolled, and the dark shadows that had been lingering in his heart were mostly dispelled by these simple words.
Her tone was once again tinged with her unique doting and indulgence: "Yes, that's really smart."
"That's right, Ji Linshen, as soon as you squeeze my hand, I know whether you want to pee or fuck someone."
Ji Linshen: "......"
