As far as the old woman was concerned, her life was miserable enough. If Liu Sanshui defrauded her of another 40,000RMB, how would she be able to live with the rest of her life? It was more than likely that her savings only totaled 40,000RMB, and her expectation was to save her grandson using money. The eventual loss of all her wealth would deal such a strong blow to her and certainly send her into despair!
Not even a young man could withstand it, let alone an old woman.
It was entirely possible that such a blow was enough to kill that old woman!
There are codes to be adhered to, even with robbery—irrespective of the situation, one must not destroy human life!
In Ye Lingchen’s eyes, Liu Sanshui’s behavior was even more disgusting than Amaterasu Genetics, for the latter relied on the last glimmer of hope in people’s hearts. It was equivalent to giving them a mental breakdown!
“Liar? I’m a proper company! You’re the liar!” Liu Sanshui roared with reddened eyes.
“Then let’s wait for the police to come. By then, we’ll know who’s the liar,” Ye Lingchen said leisurely and spoke at a moderate pace.
He was very calm, but Liu Sanshui was anything but. The bones of his hands were completely dislocated, and the pain came in waves. His body was soaked in cold sweat within that short amount of time.
“HECKLER! YOU UNRULY THUG!”
Liu Sanshui roared with grief and anger, “I sincerely wanted to help you, but I never expected to receive your suspicions in return. I won’t look for your children! Hehe, I’ve taken countless cases, and some children were caught by traffickers. Their hands and feet were broken and they were forced to beg on the streets, and some children were caught and brought to impoverished mountainous areas as child brides, where it was better for them to die than live. Just wait, all of you!”
Sure enough, the expressions of everyone around him changed drastically as soon as he said that. Liu Sanshui struck the most fragile points in their hearts and he did so viciously. Mothers even began to cry immediately, though they did so in silence.
“You… Let him go, he’s a detective. We still need to count on him to help us find the children,” the old woman said tremblingly.
“Yes, our child is suffering. He isn’t a liar.”
“How can you be so rough on him? What evidence do you have to prove that he’s a liar? Why did you hit him?!”
“Huhuhu, there’s nothing else we can do. This is our last hope.”
Many people began speaking for Liu Sanshui while looking at Ye Lingchen with resentment.
Ye Lingchen did not speak, nor did he glance at everyone. He raised his hand slowly and slammed down on Liu Sanshui’s cheek!
SLAP!
With that slap, half Liu Sanshui’s teeth were sent sailing across the air. Blood filled his mouth in an instant, and that half of his cheeks swelled up miserably.
“You… You…” Liu Sanshui’s expressions changed completely that moment and he looked at Ye Lingchen as though the latter was a devil. On that occasion, his fear was genuine and he felt that Ye Lingchen was completely uncontrollable.
“If you cheat forty-thousand out of one person, there are no less than fifty families here that lost their children. That is equivalent to at least two million. You can earn all that in one night and run away. It’s even better than doing sales.”
Ye Lingchen’s face was calm, and he helped them settle scores with Liu Sanshui. “That slap just now was on behalf of everyone.”
After that, he moved his hand again and gave a backhand slap!
SLAP!
The remaining half of his teeth were knocked out, and his whole face swelled like steamed buns as blood scattered all over the ground. Not even his eyes could be seen.
Liu Sanshui’s lips moved up and down but he was unable to speak.
“This slap is for those children.” Ye Lingchen’s eyes remained cold, while his frigid voice made everyone feel as though they were in an ice cellar.
The killing intent on his body was genuine killing intent. After all, the number of people he killed were not few. His cold aura made the onlookers palpitate, and at the same time, everyone could sense the anger in Ye Lingchen’s heart.
The audience fell into deathly silence!
All of a sudden—
“Nosy little brat. DIE!”
At some point in time, someone sneaked behind Ye Lingchen with a machete in hand and slashed Ye Lingchen’s back!
During that very second, the temperature at the venue dropped to freezing point again and many people shuddered involuntarily.
Ye Lingchen did not move and his silhouette remained stately as if he could not feel the impending danger behind him or he was scared out of his wits. The approaching machete got closer and closer, and it was very close to Ye Lingchen’s clothes. It seemed as though a huge hole would be slashed across Ye Lingchen’s back!
At that moment, Ye Lingchen’s body moved to one side. He then lifted his right leg, raised his knee, and kicked the person’s abdomen with precision!
Thump!
His mighty power was reminiscent of a volcanic eruption, where landslides were present and the ground cracked open!
The man let out a muffled grunt before his body flew backward and slid five meters away on the ground. The pain spread from his abdomen all over his body, making him unable to let out a scream. The friction on the ground tore his clothes too, inflicting countless scratches on his body, which made for an absolutely shocking sight.
Ye Lingchen’s lowered his gaze. He stood up slowly, twisted his neck, and looked in the direction of the crowd.
At that moment, more than a dozen people were holding shiny machetes in their hands. They glared at Ye Lingchen with a malicious expression and their eyes were ruthlessly vicious.
“You stinky little brat with momma’s milk all over your lips. How dare you butt into my affairs! You like being the hero, don’t you? You’ll pay for what you do!”
“Brothers, dispose of him for me!”
The group of people were obviously vicious individuals. They grasped their machetes tightly in their hands and their gazes were fierce. Accompanied by overflowing savagery, they proceeded to rush toward Ye Lingchen.
The surrounding crowd had no idea what was going on and they all retreated rapidly. In a flash, emotions such as fear, worry, and trauma began appearing.
“That boy will be fine, won’t he?”
“I never expected that person to really be a liar. Looks can be deceiving. He’s not fit to be a beast.”
“We were also muddle-headed because we were too worried. We nearly misunderstood the young man.”
“Where’s the law? He not only committed fraud but had accomplices too. He’s crossing the line!”
“Ah! Be careful!”
For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Lingchen worriedly while a machete swung relentlessly toward Ye Lingchen. The scene was really terrifying and everyone’s hearts had jumped to their throats.
“You really…want to die!”
Ye Lingchen spoke leisurely with a soft tone. It was not high-pitched but had an inexplicable aura that sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears. It was especially so for those who saw the situation. Their mind trembled violently and a feeling of fear immediately surfaced.
Soon, they adjusted their mentality, held the knife tighter, and delivered a more forceful strike.
‘How is that guy able to fight us with his bare hands?’
