Free Web NovelChapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Wushuang Forced
"You... you actually kidnapped my dad, I’m going to kill you," Lin Wushuang said as she approached.
"Hehe, just try it. Kill me, and my men will immediately dispose of your dad. Anyway, I’m a disgraced person now, not as noble as your Master Lin. If you want to kill me, go ahead," Hao Shuai said confidently, sure that Lin Wushuang wouldn’t dare make a move easily.
Lin Wushuang glared fiercely at Hao Shuai but did not dare to act for a long time, so she reluctantly gave up.
"Hurry up and say it, what have you done to my dad?" Lin Wushuang asked anxiously, the heart of a concerned daughter.
At this moment, Hao Shuai knew that the time was ripe; Lin Wushuang had fallen into the trap, so he calmly said, "As long as you help this time, I guarantee that Master Lin will be safe. However, if you betray me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Though Hao Shuai’s tone carried blatant threats, Lin Wushuang had no choice but to say, "Alright, just tell me what you want."
"Actually, the request isn’t too much. I’m not asking you to die; you just have to go to the Scripture Pavilion and bring out the ’Bone Marrow Cleansing’ secret manual for me. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Once the task is done, I’ll order my men to release your dad," Hao Shuai revealed his objective to Lin Wushuang.
"You better keep your word!"
Lin Wushuang didn’t hesitate much; he knew Hao Shuai wanted something, and once he mentioned it, no amount of argument would work. Moreover, Wushuang was very concerned about his dad’s safety, so whether or not Hao Shuai would release him, he had to try.
"Haha, such a straightforward beauty. Once the task is done, I’ll secretly arrange to meet you and hand over the manual. Then I’ll order your dad’s release. Also, after the event, they’ll definitely suspect me, and won’t be cautious of you. The book being with you is safer."
Hao Shuai laughed cunningly. However, Hao Shuai was a deeply scheming and cunning person.
"Hmph, really crafty!"
Lin Wushuang rolled her eyes at Hao Shuai with dissatisfaction and walked straight to her room.
"Thanks for the compliment, beauty! Hahaha." Hao Shuai was extremely excited.
He didn’t expect Lin Wushuang to be so easily manipulated. What kind of person was Master Lin? Would he be so easy to catch? Not to mention that the Lin Family already had Cheetah Assassins doing security, and Master Lin wasn’t an easy target either.
But Lin Wushuang was inherently kind and not good with scheming, so she was easily deceived. If Chen Tianlong were here, he’d easily see through the trick. freёweɓnovel.com
So after returning to her room, Lin Wushuang changed clothes, and her pocket held a black veil. She secretly arrived at the Scripture Pavilion without anyone noticing and sneaked in, saw two guards who didn’t seem very strong.
She put on the veil, and taking advantage of the two chatting absorbedly, knocked them out, then went to the shelf to look for the ’Bone Marrow Cleansing’ manual, leaving those fingerprints.
While leaning down to search, her jade pendant accidentally slipped into the shelf, but because she was so focused and nervous, Lin Wushuang didn’t notice the pendant had fallen, which is why Chen Tianlong later found the pendant at the bottom of the shelf.
.....
Back to reality, Chen Tianlong had just left his house and was hiding, using X-ray to peek inside and saw Lin Wushuang holding a jade pendant in her hand.
At this moment, every word and action of Lin Wushuang fell into Chen Tianlong’s observation.
"The Lin Family’s jade pendant? Isn’t this Master Lin’s pendant, how could it be with Wushuang?" Seeing the words "Patriarch Lin" engraved on the pendant, Chen Tianlong immediately realized what was happening.
Chen Tianlong thought, "This pendant shouldn’t be away from him, even if Master Lin were to give a gift, it wouldn’t be a pendant; firstly, the pendant doesn’t have any value, secondly, it symbolizes the Manor Master’s identity, Wushuang holding it has no use."
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong realized something unusual must have happened.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong linked the pendant with previous deductions, "Could it really be that Wushuang’s dad is in trouble and she’s being threatened?"
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; if so, it made sense. He knew Wushuang’s character: even if it meant enduring grievances herself, she would give everything for her family and loved ones.
Chen Tianlong felt a bit heartbroken for such a lovable girl, deserving of the world, being exploited. After thinking it through, he concluded the person exploiting Wushuang was undoubtedly Hao Shuai.
"Hmph, no wonder that punk Hao Shuai is so calm. As it turns out, he’s threatening Wushuang to do bad deeds, while he reaps the rewards."
Chen Tianlong felt hatred towards Hao Shuai. He allowed Hao Shuai to oppose him but would not allow anyone to harm Lin Wushuang.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong decided to deliver a heavy blow to Hao Shuai, teaching him a lesson from this. He planned to wait for the moment to capture Hao Shuai, the real culprit.
He hid inside a nearby house, awaiting Hao Shuai’s appearance. Sure enough, around 9 PM, a dart was shot at Lin Wushuang’s window. Wushuang checked her surroundings, closed the window, and read the note attached to the dart.
"Bring the manual to the backyard and wait for me. Don’t tell anyone, or face the consequences!"
After reading it, Lin Wushuang was very nervous. Upon hearing Senior Yun Zhonghe say that today, it seemed the manual was very important. Should she really do this?
If it results in significant losses for Lingyun Pavilion, wouldn’t she be the sinner? freeweɓnøvel.com
After struggling with her decision, Lin Wushuang ultimately decided to go with the manual, because in her eyes, two people mattered most in this world: her father, and naturally, her Chen Tianlong.
Lin Wushuang hid the manual in her pocket, then snuck out, pretending to be casual, going for a walk. Her expression didn’t give it away, but Chen Tianlong could tell that Wushuang was preoccupied; her demeanor of relaxation was feigned.
So Chen Tianlong intended to secretly follow; he had already clearly seen the dart’s shooter, who was Hao Shuai. The previous deductions were verified, so next he just needed to capture Hao Shuai on the spot.
Soon, Lin Wushuang was seen strolling slowly, then arriving at a small rock garden in the backyard. She was beginning to feel a bit nervous.
She looked around, but saw no one, while Chen Tianlong watched intently from the roof of a nearby house.
After a few minutes, a figure suddenly appeared from the bushes on one side. It was Hao Shuai. Lingering cautiously, he looked around, and, finding nothing unusual, approached.
"Miss Lin Wushuang, did you bring the manual? Give it to me!"
Seeing Lin Wushuang come to fulfill the agreement, Hao Shuai was thrilled, eager to soon practice this incredible martial arts manual.
Lin Wushuang took a book from her pocket and tossed it over, "You better keep your word and release my dad quickly."
Hao Shuai hurriedly caught the book, glanced through it, confirmed it was the ’Bone Marrow Cleansing’ manual, and was overjoyed, "Haha, to be honest, your dad is safely at the Lin Family Mansion. Did you really think I had the ability to capture your dad?"
After mocking her, Hao Shuai turned to leave.
"You... you dare to trick me!"
After hearing Hao Shuai’s words, Lin Wushuang instantly realized she had been fooled; her silliness reached such a level, she was at a loss for words.
