What happened just now?

Lin Yan shut the door behind her and scanned Xing Chen and Qin Huans faces.

She had stood too far away and only caught snippets of their conversation. Then, she had seen Pei Yucheng flaring up and the two of them fleeing for their lives. The thought of having to deal with a furious Pei Yucheng terrified her. She had to make sense of the situation first!

Oh. Nothing. Nothing happened. Miss Lin, youre too inquisitive. This isnt a good thing, replied Qin Huan.

Xing Chens eyes, on the other hand, glimmered with hope.

Miss Lin Yan There is something you can help me with! Xing Chen exclaimed in excitement.

Me? Instinctively, Lin Yan pointed at herself, looking confused.

Xing Chen! Qin Huan frowned in disapproval. Are you mad? You could kill her!

No, perhaps Brother Yu will listen to her

Lin Yan was a glimmer of hope and a savior in Xing Chens eyes right now.

Xing Chen, you should be aware of what you should or shouldnt do. Miss Lin might not be aware of what Brother Yu is like. Both of us know and we understand him really well. If you continued to shoot your mouth off just now, I may have had to leave with your corpse today. Were you aware of this fact? Qin Huan lectured him solemnly.

Xing Chen unconsciously stroked his metal arm. He knew Pei Yucheng very well, but this was also his last chance. He couldnt allow Xiaoyue to stay in that hellish place

What is the matter? Lin Yan scrutinized both Qin Huan and Xing Chen nervously.

What could possibly kill them?

Miss Lin Ling Yue, who is my friend, has been with Brother Yu since she was a girl. A few years ago, she made a minor mistake and was punished by Brother Yu. Xiaoyan gazed at Lin Yan earnestly.

If it was a minor mistake, it shouldnt be too serious, right? I think that Mr. Pei isnt that unreasonable, replied Lin Yan.

Not too serious? The corners of Qin Huans mouth twitched. This fool tried to plead with Brother Yu and look at what happened in the end. Xiaoyue had two more years of punishment left, but her punishment was extended to ten years. Then, this fool ended up getting hurt.

Huh?

Lin Yan was shocked.

Was it that serious?

Was Pei Yucheng so emotionless and callous?

Miss Lin, Im begging you. Can you help me plead with Brother Yu? Just help me reduce the punishment to two years Thats all Im asking for Xing Chen begged her in tears.

Upon seeing the injuries on Xing Chen, Lin Yan looked hesitant.

Xing Chen was Pei Yuchengs trusted aide, yet he had ended up like this after pleading with Pei Yucheng? Plus, Xiaoyues punishment had been extended.

Although she really wanted to help, it seemed that her hands were tied

This I really want to help, but even you couldnt change his mind. I only got to know Mr. Pei recently! Lin Yan replied desperately.

Xing Chen trudged on, Miss Lin, as long as you promise to help me, I will do anything you want!

Lin Yan sighed in response. Its not that I dont want to, but I cant

Or perhaps you can name a price! Xing Chen offered.

Lin Yan replied helplessly, This isnt about money! How much are you offering?

Xing Chen was speechless

Qin Huan was speechless

Lin Yan wanted to slap herself when she snapped back to her senses. Was she out of her mind? How could she prioritize money over her life?
