Chapter 226: Untitled

“Let him off again?” He raised his voice in question.

Old Master Lin replied with a heavy look, “Yes, let him off for the last time. I’ll kick him out of the house, so he’ll never be able to see Xiao Ruo again. Is this okay?”

“No.”

The sight of the large puddle of blood on the floor made him frantic. He could only cast his pleading gaze on Ye Erruo again.

“Don’t bother looking at her,” Mo Jiangye coldly said as he shifted to hide the woman behind him.

All of a sudden, his attention was once again drawn to the body lying on the ground.

His grandfather took a firmer stance as well. “You’ll have to get past my dead body in order to touch him.”

Ye Erruo hastily held her man’s hand from behind. “Mo Jiangye.”

That’s your grandfather and your elder!

However, the man was emotionally unstable now. He might very well harm his grandfather as well in order to get to Lin Jingxuan.

“Second Young Master, on account of your father…”

“Don’t bring him up!” His already-irritated mood became even more volatile.

“Get lost!” he viciously spat out.

The butler stood defensively in front of his old master and nervously regarded the young man. “Young Madam.”

The woman standing behind her husband pursed her lips. Lin Jingxuan’s death might not warrant any pity, but he’s ultimately the grandchild of the elderly man… Moreover, Grandpa is protecting him… After a lot of inner struggle, Ye Erruo tugged on Mo Jiangye’s arm and whispered something into his ear.

Just like that, like a tamed wild beast, he tossed the flower stand aside and took in a deep breath to calm down. It took him a great deal of effort, but the fury in his eyes slowly dissipated bit by bit. He then scooped his wife into his arms and strode over to the doorway to leave.

The butler heaved a sigh of relief. How well Second Young Master listens to Second Young Madam… I wonder what she said to him.

“Butler.”

“Yes, Old Master.”

“Take Young Master to the hospital right away.”

“Yes, Old Master.”

“Bar him from entering this place in the future. Dismiss all the servants in the residence and transfer the old residence to him. That property will be enough for him to survive for the rest of his life. From now on, he will no longer be a part of the Lin Family.”

“Yes, sir. Do I need to inform the rest of the elders?”

“No need for that.” After all, he has always been deemed worthless by the other elders of the family. Everyone’s eyes are only on Xiao Ye, so it doesn’t matter if we inform them or not.

While the doctors and servants were rushing to take Lin Jingxuan and Gu Feirou to the hospital, Old Master Lin stood by the doorway of the hall, indifferent to the commotion*. If he can narrowly escape death this time, I hope that he lives the rest of his life as an ordinary person. If he can’t… Sigh… I can’t do anything about it…* No matter how much he disliked his grandson, he would still ultimately do his best to save his life on account of his son.

“Does it hurt?” Mo Jiangye kept touching the spot where she was missing a wisp of hair in the car.

“It’s only lost hair. It doesn’t hurt a single bit.”

Nevertheless, his gaze remained fixed on that spot, as though what was missing was her flesh and not her hair.

As the driver steadily drove the car, the man wrapped his wife in his arms. His brows furrowed in displeasure, casting a dark look on his handsome face.

“When we get home later, I’ll hand you all of Lin Jingxuan’s recent suspicious transaction records so you can go through them,” Ye Erruo softly said as she hooked her arms around his neck.

She had previously mentioned this to her husband and asked him not to intervene. However, that chap just would not stop provoking her. With her husband’s intervention, the investigation of this matter would surely proceed more smoothly. She was very certain that this ex-lover of hers had recently been involved in shady dealings. Besides, her husband would surely not let him off in the first place. The only problem, however, was whether the man would be able to regain consciousness or not.

Mo Jiangye tugged his lips into a cold smirk. He’d better keep sleeping forever!

If he wakes up… he can forget about escaping from the various crimes he committed, including murder and bribery.
