At this moment, two burly men, each about 1.8 meters tall, appeared like two moving mountains in Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi's sleeper berth. Their faces were menacing, and their words were full of threats.
"What are you looking at? What's so interesting! Lie down, all of you!" With a crisp sound, a passenger who had tried to record this scene with his phone had his phone mercilessly thrown to the ground, shattering instantly. "So you think you can take pictures? Try taking another one!"
The passenger whose phone was smashed wanted to argue, but the burly man roughly grabbed his collar and the menacing aura made it hard for him to breathe. In fear, he could only swallow his anger and dared not make a sound.
This little incident also made the other curious passengers on the bus suppress their curiosity and dare not easily reveal it again.
Everyone unanimously cast sympathetic glances at Lin Chen, as these people had clearly come for him. They all wondered what fate awaited the young man: "I wonder what will become of him."
"How can there be such a person? Why haven't the train police arrived yet?"
"What kind of police officers are on long-distance buses?"
“I think I just saw a policeman…” Various voices echoed in Lin Chen’s ears, but the actual carriage was eerily quiet.
"Hey kid, why don't you come out with me for a bit?" At this moment, another burly man beckoned to Lin Chen with his finger, his tone full of contempt. Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little scared; this was the first time he'd encountered something like this.
However, he quickly saw through their thoughts. "So it turns out that Yang Kun's identity was exposed by me, so he's a bit scared. I just didn't expect Lin Yiming to have a backup plan! Alas, it seems we won't be able to wait for Ning Jiaqi's reinforcements."
Lin Chen sighed inwardly. Could it be that even if he could foresee the future and understand people's hearts, he still couldn't change his fate? He knew that if they took him away, he would be in grave danger.
At this moment, Lin Chen realized that whether he followed them or not, his fate wouldn't make much difference. Lin Yiming was ruthless and wouldn't stop until he achieved his goals.
While Lin Chen was pondering to himself, another burly man responsible for handling the passengers in the carriage also approached. Clearly, he was an impatient person.
"What are you dawdling for? Young Master Lin said to hurry up and get started. Don't worry, he'll take care of everything." The burly man said, glancing menacingly at the other people in the car.
One of his henchmen said worriedly, "Brother Feng, are you sure? I heard that Young Master Lin himself has committed a crime and is about to go to jail?"
"Young Master Lin has so much money, what can't money solve? Enough nonsense, let's quickly kill Young Master Lin's good-for-nothing brother, then Young Master Lin will be rid of a thorn in his side, and we'll all be heroes! How could we not get our share?" As he spoke, the henchman reached out, seemingly wanting to drag Lin Chen out.
The people in the carriage witnessed everything, but no one dared to offend them or speak up to help Lin Chen. Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "Stop it, all of you!"
The two burly men were surprised that someone dared to speak up. They looked in the direction of the voice, exchanged a glance, and thought to themselves, "Yang Kun's plan was brilliant. If it had succeeded, we could have killed Lin Chen and gotten such a beautiful woman! A double win!"
After all, it was on a long-distance bus, and with so many people. Although the Lin family had some power, they weren't capable of such reckless behavior. It was just that Yang Kun wasn't up to par this time, and the plan failed.
So, under pressure from Lin Yiming, his boss, Brother Feng, had no choice but to take a desperate gamble. Besides, it was the first time he'd met a beauty like Ning Jiaqi; if he could win over Lin Chen, he could also pick up a girl—why not?
So, the henchman put away his fierce demeanor and said to Ning Jiaqi in a polite manner, "Beautiful lady, we hope you won't get involved in this matter. We're both roughnecks, and if we accidentally bump into you and hurt you, that would be bad."
As people favored by Brother Feng, they were merely his subordinates. How could they dare to do anything to Ning Jiaqi? Besides, even if it wasn't Brother Feng's order, wouldn't it be a huge loss if such a stunning beauty were actually harmed by them?
However, Ning Jiaqi was not intimidated by their threats. She coldly said, "I'm not stopping you, I'm just warning you not to do anything you'll regret. There are some responsibilities you can't afford to bear!"
Ning Jiaqi's imposing manner surprised the two burly men. But they immediately burst into laughter. These men, usually risking their lives, were always the ones threatening others; they'd never heard of others threatening them.
Ning Jiaqi was surprised that her threat had no effect whatsoever. She immediately took out her phone to call for help. But just as she did, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the phone away, smashing it to pieces with a loud crack.
"Beautiful lady, this time it's just a phone you smashed, but next time it might be someone else's," the burly man threatened. Ning Jiaqi's face turned ashen; that was her brand-new phone, which she had just gotten this year! She regretted not bringing bodyguards with her when she went out.
At this moment, Lin Chen only wanted to play dead, and even considered jumping out of the car... He even regretted getting on the car in the first place! He realized that Lin Yiming must have arranged for assassins to take his life from the moment he left home! He had been too careless!
Now, for these burly men, all obstacles had vanished. Only the task of dealing with Lin Chen remained.
"Kid, you're really in deep trouble this time. Hope you're reborn into a better family next time!" As the leader of this group, Brother Feng naturally wouldn't personally get involved. A cold smile played on his lips as he called out Yang Kun, the one who had previously hesitated. After all, this job was originally assigned to him.
Seeing this, Yang Kun simply downed a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) to bolster his courage. Then, he strode over and reached out to grab Lin Chen by the collar! In his other hand, he held a gleaming silver switchblade, its cold light sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Chen seemed to foresee his tragic fate, and a pang of regret welled up within him. He had only wanted revenge, but he hadn't expected this time to be even more devastating than before. However, it was too late for regrets; he could only watch helplessly as Yang Kun's switchblade drew ever closer.
