not in love

Chapter 153 Blood Thorn

"I lost,"

Zhuge Yunbai leaned back calmly, leaned on the back of the chair and looked around casually for a week.

Falling into Lin Xie's hands, there is no chance to escape.

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhijuan, his tone was relaxed, without any regrets,

"Zhijuan, help me put on the earrings. It's been lost for more than ten years, where did you find it?"

"Leslie's room."

Yu Zhijuan did not refuse Zhuge Yunbai's request, and stepped forward to brush away the broken hair from his ears.

"I didn't expect it to be lost here."

Zhuge Yunbai lowered his eyelashes, perhaps from the first time he killed someone for Lewis more than ten years ago, they were destined to end badly.

"Didn't you use the Tarot cards for yourself before going out this time?"

Yu Zhijuan said sarcastically.

"Only those who still have hope or luck will believe in the results of divination."

Zhuge Yunbai paused, and curled his lips towards Lin Xie who was standing not far away,

"Don't look at me like a monster like that, I'm bound like a dumpling by you, I can't do anything."

Lin Xie ignored him, but Yu Zhiwen said again,

"You haven't worn anything for a long time, and your ear holes are about to grow, and you can't wear them."

"Wouldn't it be better if you worked harder?"

Zhuge Yunbai didn't take it seriously, his eyes lightly swept over Zhiwei's shoulders,

"Just take it as revenge against me."

"……madman."

Yu Zhijuan lowered his head, pushed his index finger slightly, and the black needle tip pierced Zhuge Yunbai's earlobe, and a string of fine blood beads oozed out.

Zhuge Yunbai didn't even frown as if he didn't feel anything. He noticed the shining gems secretly shining in Yu Zhijuan's ears, and couldn't help but smiled lowly,

"The men in their family seem to like to put shackles on people's ears."

After understanding what he meant, Yu Zhijuan slightly raised his eyes,

"Mine is different."

"……what."

Zhuge Yunbai snorted lightly, noncommittal,

"Before I came, I transferred your student status information and research achievements to Joseph."

"The Canadian?"

"That's right, didn't he always want to take you from me? Last month he celebrated his 50th birthday, so I treated it as a gift for him."

"I don't like his academic style."

"But he'll get you through graduation."

"You really like giving gifts."

Yu Zhijuan put on the earplugs for him, the butterfly pattern on the earrings has been filled with dust, and when he held the earrings like scrap iron in his hands and hung them on Zhuge Yunbai's ears, they seemed to come alive again generally.

In the dark room there is only a patio for light, the summer wind passes through the hall, carrying the sweetness of roses, but when it blows past Zhuge Yunbai's ears, it is also tainted with the smell of blood.

The sound of the wind whistled, like the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings imprinted on black jade.

Zhuge Yunbai suddenly sneered,

"Can I drink some water, it's really hot here."

"No one intends to abuse you."

Yu Zhijuan got up to help him get a glass of water, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuge Yunbai's lips moving slightly, as if he was biting something hard...

"...Lin Xie!"

"do not move!"

In a blink of an eye, Lin Xie also noticed Zhuge Yunbai's actions, and squeezed his jaw tightly before he bit the capsule hidden in his mouth.

"Don't even think about dying."

Lin Xie's strength was so strong that Zhuge Yunbai's jaw was almost dislocated, and the butterfly earrings swayed, hitting Lin Xie's hand bones to no avail.

"...!"

Compared to being alive as a bargaining chip to threaten Lewis, Zhuge Yunbai would rather die, but he can't move at the moment, and the light in his eyes can only gradually dim.

The capsule infused with the purified toxin into his mouth was snapped out by Lu Yuan who broke in after hearing the sound, and stuffed it into a pair of shackles used to bind his lips and teeth.

"It's so cruel..."

Lu Yuan carefully threw the capsule into the sealed bag,

"Master, the governor will be home soon...give this lunatic to the governor."

"Father won't see him,"

Lin Xie let go of the hand that was holding Zhuge Yunbai's chin,

"Take care of him, don't let him die easily."

"Yes!"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Yu Zhijuan at the side breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Zhuge Yunbai could kill for Lewis, but he didn't expect that he would die for Lewis without hesitation.

"To be on the safe side, you'd better cover his eyes and mouth, he...well..."

The buzzing in the ears gradually became louder, the water glass was knocked over to the ground, Yu Zhijuan held on to the table so that he did not lose his center of gravity due to dizziness.

"Teacher Tired!"

"Weary!"

……

The air in the basement was like solidified cement, and the black spot in the center of his vision expanded uncontrollably, eating away his consciousness like a black hole.

He is too tired.

Before being blindfolded, the last thing Zhuge Yunbai saw was Yu Zhijuan who had lost consciousness and was firmly caught by Lin Xie.

His heart tightened in panic and confusion, and then he realized for no reason that he, who had been entangled in so-called love to a tattered state, would sometimes envy others.

At the end of June, Binhai ushered in the rainy season.

The security team around the mansion was finally withdrawn, and Lin Xi sat on the ground leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked through the summary notes Yu Zhijuan left her in a daze.

Both Chen Hao and Zhuge Yunbai were brought to justice, but the atmosphere at home was still depressed.

Because of the thunder and rain, and because of Yu Zhijuan who was still lying in the ward and hadn't woken up yet.

This time Yu Zhijuan's illness was more serious. In the past, he could rest at home for a few days and drink a few chicken soups to get better. This time, he had to be hospitalized.

Outside the window, the rain continued, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, stuffy and hot.

Lin Xi couldn't look into the knowledge points, and looked up just in time to see a black-tailed butterfly that was "slapped" on the window by the hot wind before it could find a shelter from the rain.

"Whoa-"

She pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows and picked up the dying butterfly.

The TV in the living room happened to be broadcasting the news, and amidst the pattering rain, the announcer's voice seemed particularly solemn and stern:

"It is reported that Mr. Chen, a company owned by the well-known actor Chen Hao, is involved in multiple crimes such as gathering people to take drugs, selling drugs, soliciting whoring and prostitution. The suspect Chen Hao was arrested by the police a week ago, and the first trial will be held three days later."

"In addition to Chen Hao, the city's anti-drug brigade arrested many public figures involved in drug trafficking during this operation, including the famous actor Xu Ruqing and the host Shen Jiaxun... The impact of this incident was bad, and it aroused great attention from the Politburo. The Governor's Office held a press conference last night and pointed out that those involved in this case will be severely punished."

"Now major TV stations, magazines and directors have stated that they will sever cooperation with drug-abusing artists, ban drug-addicting artists, and crack down on drugs. It is the duty and responsibility of each of us..."

After being drenched by the rain, the butterfly fluttered twice in Linxi's palm and then did not move, losing any signs of life.

Lin Xi threw the butterfly into the mud under the rose bush, turned around and saw Lin Xie was about to go out, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother! Are you going to the hospital? You take me with you! I also want to see Brother Zhijuan!"

"Let Tan Chaolu take you there later."

Lin Xie paused, even though Lu Yuan was helping him with the umbrella, the rain still splashed on his shoulders.

"Aren't you going to the hospital?"

Lindsay blinked.

"Then where are you going now?"

"Go vent your anger on your weary brother."

After Lin Xie finished speaking, he got into the car, Lin Xi was so curious that he grabbed the car door,

"Who are you going to beat up? Why don't you take me with you? Are you not a public figure? Beating people will definitely have bad influence, but I can help you... Hey, hey, what are you doing, Lu Yuan?! Lu Yuan!"

Lin Xi was carried back to the house by Lu Yuan before he finished speaking.

"Your brother is not as simple as beating someone up,"

Lu Yuan patted Lin Xi's shoulder,

"Stay obediently and wait at home, today's excitement is too much to be missed."

"Then who are you going to mess with? Who has offended me, Brother Zhijuan?"

Lin Xi probed her head, unable to hold back her curiosity,

"Brother Yuan, just take me with you, I promise not to make a sound or comment."

"That won't work,"

Lu Yuan shook his head,

"Your brother is afraid to frighten you."

"Scared me? I have been scared since I was a child, okay, I...!"

"boom--!"

Before Lin Xi could finish speaking, Lu Yuan swiftly closed his umbrella and got into the car, and drove away with his young master.

Before being sent to the court for trial, Chen Hao had been detained in a "reflection prison" on the outskirts of the city.

Ordinary criminals can't enter the introspection office. The two huge square buildings are filled with densely packed rooms, surrounded by signal shielding devices all the year round, and inside the room there is only a small bed and a ventilating window with iron bars. The walls, floors and the feet of the bed are covered with soft packaging materials to ensure that the prisoner will not be killed by being hit, and it is also soundproof.

"Master Lin, although it is you, prisoner No. 1150117 is a serious suspect. In principle, no one is allowed to visit, so I can only give you 15 minutes..."

The person in charge of the institute explained to Lin Xie in embarrassment.

"Ten minutes is enough,"

Lin Xie nodded lightly,

"Open the door."

"...Yes, then please be careful."

The guards led Lin Xie and Lu Yuan around to the end of the corridor. There were two layers of security doors and a layer of iron fences at the entrance of each single prison. When they reached the third iron fence, Chen Haocai, who was leaning against the corner with his legs in his arms, Finally, with a sleepy look, he cast his gaze towards the door.

In just one week, he seemed to have aged ten years, with dry skin, droopy eye bags, and chapped lips.

Whether it is a detention center or a prison, for a person like Chen Hao who is used to living a life of luxury and luxury, it is undoubtedly a hell life that is not as good as a pig or a dog.

Chen Hao's eyes were dim and chaotic until he sensed the pheromone of the coming person.

"...Lin Xie, Lin Xie...it's you...!!"

He suddenly got up from the bed, his face twisted and twisted,

"You came to see my joke? Are you worthy? Are you worthy?? Let Yu Zhijuan come to see me, I want to see Zhijuan...! Lin Xie, you bastard, you will kill Zhijuan... …Hahaha!! You will kill him! None of us will ever feel better!!”

"Gag him."

"Yes."

Lin Xie never looked at Chen Hao directly, and Lu Yuan who was beside him skillfully went up to Chen Hao and stuffed a rag he had just found in the public toilet into Chen Hao's mouth.

"No, no, no...!!"

Chen Hao struggled to no avail, and soon his hands were bound, his shirt was taken off, and he was forced to kneel in front of Lin Xie.

"Master, here it is."

Lu Yuan handed Lin Xie a tool, and Chen Hao immediately widened his eyes and started screaming.

He knew what it was, the kind of piercing knife he used when tattooing Yu Zhiyi himself...! !

The door to the private room was closed from the inside.

Lu Yuan lit a good cigarette for the guard. After one cigarette, the door of prison room No. 1150117 was opened again, and a strong smell of blood came out.

"Clean up."

Lin Xie took the wet towel handed by Lu Yuan to wipe off the blood on his hands, and left without looking back.

After the guards sent them away respectfully, they returned to the cell where Chen Hao was detained and "cleaned" as ordered, only to see horrible handprints all over the sheets.

Chen Hao was already lying on the ground like a dead fish and passed out from the pain, with tears streaming down his face, and patches of wetness under his body.

It was only when the guard pulled Chen Haopa away with a mop that he noticed the distorted and ugly five-petal osmanthus carved on his back.

The fresh blood has not solidified yet, it is dazzling and bright red.

"It's dirty."

The guard said with disgust.
