Chapter 587 Guilty conscience
Chapter 587 Guilty conscience
The men hired by Uncle Ji were professionals and they were rather quick on their feet as well but they forgot that the people they were trying to hurt were protected by the Shen brothers and what was more the Lin brothers weren't someone who needed anyone's protection anyway.
Just as the man who was in charge of lighting the fire raised his hand to pick up the lamp that was already ignited but just he was going to light the house on fire, a sudden whoosh of air came from his side and the lamp was burning just a moment ago was extinguished.
Surprised the man looked behind him but there was no one, he scratched his head and picked up a matchstick and lit up the lamp once again but just as he lighted it again, there was another whoosh of warm air and his lamp was once again extinguished. The man was shocked as he looked around and put down the lamp on the ground, as he lightly called, " Who is there?"
Of course, no one replied and the man once again lighted the lamp and it was just as quickly extinguished. This time the man understood that someone was pulling a prank on him and he hurriedly turned around and shook his fists, " Who is it? Who are you? Why are you hiding behind me if you are a man then you better come out and face me, you bastard!"
" Hoho, I am your guilty conscience, you bastard," answered a voice from behind, somewhat startled the man turned to look who it was who was trying to scare him but as soon as he turned around his gaze fell on a mountain freak who was twice his size. Mommy? Who was this man trying to lie to? How can his guilty conscience be this big? " Look man we can talk about this——"
WHACK!
Lin Chen who never liked talking to villains didn't give any attention to the man who was trying to set his house on fire and simply punched him. Of course, since the man was small and puny when compared to Lin Chen, he couldn't manage to pick himself off the ground once he was punched by a fist that was twice the size of his face and fell unconscious.
On the other hand, the other Lin brothers together with the guards that were left by the Shen uncles managed to subdue the other men who came to harm Su Wan and their family.
" These bastards!" Lin Zhi and the others already snuck out of the house when they smelled the scent of kerosene. After all, though Ji Shan and her family were quick to act, the old master had already warned Su Wan that she needed to be wary of the woman who was trying to harm the Shen family. This was why the family was on high alert and did fall asleep at once.
Instead, they waited with bated breath worried that someone would come and harm them, sure enough just as the night struck one in the morning the smell of kerosene started to fill their nostrils and they all together with Su Wan hurried out of the backyard that was yet to be affected by these brutes!
Lin Zhi kicked the men who were tied by a rope by her nephews and the guards before she shouted at them. " You bunch of hooligans, for the sake of some money you were willing to hurt a bunch of innocent women, men and children?"
The Qi siblings who were dragged out of their room by Su Wan were all huddled next to Su Wan, they were used to sleeping earlier than the adults and they were completely knocked out by the time Su Wan rushed into their room with madam Zhu and madam Zhang who picked each of the kids and rushed out of the house. Qi Zhi who was huddled in Su Wan's arms was shivering with fright as he thought about what would have happened if his sister-in-law and the others weren't up —— though he was young, he too have experienced many things.
When he was young, he once saw a man getting hit by thunder lighting and the sight of that man's dark and charred skin was still engraved in his mind.
If he wasn't woken up by his sister-in-law and was taken out of the house, he too would have become dark charcoal!
How scary! He immediately turned his face away and hugged Su Wan showing his trembling butt to the world. He was scared and he had no embarrassment whatsoever in saying that he was scared!
Even Qi Shuyan and Qi Mei were having a hard time as they clung to Su Wan's clothes and kept hiding behind her.
Lin Zi kicked the men for a very long time she only stopped when Fang Zimo pulled her back and handed her a water pouch. " You might have gotten thirsty after hitting these men for so long, who not take a rest and let others do it."
"That's right," said Madam Zhu as she rolled her sleeves and smiled at the men who were kneeling on the floor. " Let others have a chance to take care of these men as well, to think that they would try to hurt my niece and grandniece, if I don't make them rue the day they were born, I will not be able to rest in peace."
"Hoho, isn't it cute that we are of the same mind?" said Madam Huo as she handed her son to Lin Yan who picked him up with an air of practice, after all, he was going to be a father, how can he not practise how to pick up a child?
Madam Huo too rolled her sleeves as she took out a thin whip that her husband used to play with his cats. Though it always had a toy attached to it, today it was just a whip. " Tonight, you will know who you can and whom you cannot offend."
And then the screams of agony of those pitiful men who didn't know this simple lesson echoed in the surroundings.
The Feng family: "…..'' wow, they really know how to play wild.
