Chapter 1400: Escape and Endurance

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400: Escape and Endurance

The two sides were in a standoff like this. Huang Miao eventually softened. He relaxed his clenched fist, looked at Lin Tian with a pleading gaze, and said, "Mr. Lin, what will it take for you to release him? My son is severely injured. I hope you can be merciful."

Lin Tian smirked, "Just one apology and you want me to release him? What about the injuries my brother suffered?"

"I deeply apologize for Mr. Li’s situation and will provide compensation."

"And what else?"

The anger Huang Miao had finally managed to suppress was now surging again. Being unforgiving despite having a favorable situation was truly hateful!

"Then, Mr. Lin, what do you want?"

Huang Miao was already prepared to be extorted, seeing as Lin Tian didn’t seem inclined to let things go. But unexpectedly, Lin Tian finally lifted his foot from Huang He’s body and said, "I don’t want anything. You can take him away."

Huang Miao truly couldn’t fathom what this person was thinking. However, at this moment, his son’s life was the most important!

Without needing Huang Miao to instruct, someone immediately stepped forward to help Mr. Huang back into his wheelchair. Then they pushed him away immediately, fearing what if this kid Lin reneged?

Huang He was covered in injuries all over, seemingly crippled on one side, slumped in the wheelchair, crying like a tearful child.

"Dad, he..."

Halfway through Huang He’s words, upon meeting his father’s fierce gaze, he swallowed all his words, daring not to speak further.

At this time, a bald man stepped forward to support Lu Wenxuan and said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Lu has no pulse left. His chest and back suffered severe impact—dead in one blow."

"What?!" Huang Miao’s eyes widened slightly, a person dead—the nature of everything changes completely! His gaze simultaneously turned to the two lawyers who had followed Huang He in earlier.

The lawyers, upon meeting Huang Miao’s gaze, dared not speak, but their eyes were darting towards Lin Tian, everything being implied but unsaid.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, you know what to do, right?"

"Take care." Huang Miao, expressionless, gave Lin Tian a boxing salute, then turned and walked out towards the door. A group of people followed.

Once the door closed, Zhang Ya’Er blinked her big, bright eyes, her gaze moving over Lin Tian, and curiously asked, "Is that Lu really dead?"

Lin Tian chuckled, "I’m a law-abiding citizen; how could I do such a cruel thing? He’s fine, but he’ll have to stay in the hospital for two months."

"Then..."

Lin Tian winked at her, "I touched a few acupuncture points on him; he’ll wake up in about ten minutes."

"..."

"Just a harmless joke to play on them, wasn’t their expression just now amusing?"

"..."

...

"Dad, I’m going to kill him! I must kill him! And that woman, those people in that room, not a single one will escape!"

Huang He gritted his teeth, his face muscles trembling. Earlier, if not for Huang Miao arriving in the nick of time, Huang He would have bitten down like a dog on Lin Tian’s ankle—even just being able to tear off a chunk of flesh would have been worthwhile!

Huang Miao turned around abruptly.

Smack!

A powerful slap landed heavily on Huang He’s face, as if it weren’t his own son but Lin Tian instead.

Huang He was dumbfounded, his face having already been slashed several times, and now another slap causes old wounds to flare up, almost making him faint from pain.

He didn’t scream hysterically like he did in the hospital room; his bloodshot eyes glared at his father.

"Huang Miao, are you freaking insane? Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs!"

A son addressing his father by given name was a great disrespect. Huang He never dared before, but today, he was so angry he almost yelled ’old bastard’!

Smack!

Another heavy slap landed on the other half of Huang He’s face, even more forceful than before. Huang He almost fell off the wheelchair.

"I’m gonna..."

Huang He felt like he was going crazy, struggling to get up from the wheelchair and fight the old bastard, but before he could stand up, the bald guy pressed him down tightly.

"I’ve been smart all my life, how did I end up with a son like you, such a worthless thing?" Huang Miao’s face flushed red like a monkey’s butt, distressed by Huang He’s incorrigibility, hoping for a son to become a dragon but ending up as a worm instead.

Huang Miao has ventured, been imprisoned, done shady work, and experienced financial crisis. All these made him stronger, handling things alone in the family. Now he sees his son behaving like this, how can he not be angry?

Huang He huffed and puffed, struggling to get up, yet was still pinned down by the bald guy known as Sisi.

"Do you know why I’m hitting you?" Huang Miao asked coldly.

"Humph!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"The things Lu Wenxuan discovered, you must have seen them already. You recently arranged for people to hit Li, then he was assassinated in the hospital. This is exactly the wrong time to be making waves; do you know how much effort I’ve expended these days dealing with your mess? And you? Your mind is like mush! Charging into other people’s hospital rooms with your men recklessly! We’re lucky we’re the ones who suffered; if it were them, how would people above perceive this?"

Huang He’s mind was about to explode in anger, unable to listen to any of this. If his gaze could kill, he’d have carved his father into a thousand pieces already!

Ignoring his son’s gaze, Huang Miao continued, "Now outsiders are sure we’re the ones who killed Li. So at this moment, you better keep still!"

Huang He’s gaze finally changed, becoming even more fierce, "My life is already ruined anyway, can’t touch women, what’s left to live for? Dad, while you’re still young, have a couple more kids with my mom. Even if I die, I’ll fight them to the death!"

"You... you’re simply like a rotten tree that can’t be carved! Mud that can’t support a wall!"

"Anyway, you’re deeply disappointed, what’s there left to say?"

Inhaling deeply into his lungs, Huang Miao spoke earnestly, "This matter, don’t interfere anymore. Once the storm passes, none of them will escape. If you jump out now, it’s dragging our whole family down the grave, understand?"

"You mean..."

Huang Miao snorted lightly, "What else? You’re my son; I’ll discipline you as I please, but others won’t dare touch you! Do you think I can swallow this today? I’m just angry at your witless ways. As they say, a gentleman’s revenge takes Ten Years; why do you insist on acting like a savage? Enough said, I’ve already booked you a flight, leaving tomorrow morning, go to Sai Continent, recuperate for a while and reflect."

"Dad! I’m not leaving!"

"It’s not up to you! It’s patience, it’s survival. Stay here, and you will die!"
