97 Don’t Touch My Prey

"I am asking you to give this back to Yu Hao! Why are you talking about a cement factory and the Dong Jiang River? I think you must have gone crazy over your plot to seek revenge!" Leng Jin yelled as he reached out to grab the plastic bag in Wu Linzhi's hand.

It was probably because Wu Linzhi was not on his guard against Leng Jin, but Leng Jin managed to snatch the plastic bag from him easily. However, as soon as the plastic bag was in his hands, Leng Jin immediately regretted it. He quickly threw it back to Wu Linzhi, but it was too late.

Through the clear plastic bag, Leng Jin could clearly see that the cuts on the severed ends of the two fingers were smooth and straight. This meant that the fingers were likely chopped off by some very sharp tools.

So, it could be assumed that Yu Hao was initially frightened, but when he saw his first finger being chopped off, he did not feel any pain because of the extreme sharpness of the tool. It was only when he began to relax a little that his nerves responded, causing him to finally feel excruciating pain as he watched his second finger being chopped off.

In that moment, as his nerves were now responsive, he had to relive the pain from the first chop all over again. So, perhaps the most awful and cruel part of this little game was not just that his fingers had been chopped off. Instead, it was the horror that the game designer had instill in every one of Yu Hao's cells that was the real cruelty.

Moreover, from this moment on, during every rainy day, Yu Hao would likely be suffering from similar pain, both mentally and physically. This was indeed the most ruthless and extreme of means!

As for giving him the chance to reattach his fingers, besides being an issue of basic morality, this was also possibly done in order to teach him a lesson and remind him of the pain that he had suffered during the loss of the fingers, as the scars would surely always remain from the stitches. Undeniably, this game designer was an absolute master of abuse!

If possible, Leng Jin hoped that he would have nothing to do with this man ever! As for Wu Linzhi, nothing could compare to his joy of witnessing Yu Hao's mangled hands and feet.

"Brother, if I insist on not returning the fingers to him, what will you do to me?" When their eyes met during the fight over the plastic bag that contained the broken fingers, Wu Linzhi realized that Leng Jin was serious.

However, Wu Linzhi was loathe to miss the chance of getting his revenge, especially when the opportunity was right in front of him!

"I won't give you such a chance. If you don't let go, I'll have my men grab the bag. After that, a fight will be inevitable. Then, don't blame them for being too rough!" Leng Jin's frightful tone was one that he would only reveal in front of those whom he was very familiar or comfortable with.

Wu Linzhi shuddered involuntarily. "It seems that you have a good impression of Yu Hao." Knowing that Leng Jin had become quite serious all of a sudden, Wu Linzhi did not dare ignore him.

"Humph. His life and death have nothing to do with me. I just care about the man who tortured him." As Leng Jin twisted his neck, a cracking sound could be heard.

Wu Linzhi frowned slightly, then said, "Oh. But... We don't even know who this person is. Why should we care about his feelings?"

"You don't know this, but..." Leng Jin explained, "The man wants to retain a whole corpse from Yu Hao. That is why he left the broken fingers behind. But, if we destroy the fingers, aren't we telling him indirectly that there are other people out there who want to deal with Yu Hao besides him?"

"That's true. One of the purposes of my return this time is to torture Yu Hao. Does this mean that this man is on our same side?" Wu Linzhi answered Leng Jin's question with another question, which caused Leng Jin to shake his head.

Leng Jin then asked, "Let me ask you... What would you do if someone suddenly appeared and disrupted your plans when you were having fun?"

"Humph, I might just kill him!" Wu Linzhi's enchanting eyes seemed to look like an overcast sky all of a sudden. However, when one was looking at his profile from the side, it was a kind of a morbidly aesthetic sight. Such a coquettish man deserved to be under fire!

"Yes... You get it." Leng Jin was clearly satisfied with Wu Linzhi's reply.

He then added, "You should know that you shouldn't disrupt other people's plans. It is obvious that this man was the first to prey upon Yu Hao. Hence, if you get involved now, isn't that tantamount to disrupting his plans?"

After he finished speaking, Leng Jin sighed. It was not easy to explain the situation in a way to make this guy understand!

"Okay, I understand now." Wu LInzhi finally replied.

The light in the car was too dim for Leng Jin to see Wu Linzhi's expression clearly. So, he took him at his word, but still asked, "Then... Shouldn't you send it back before anyone finds out?"

Wu Linzhi didn't reply, but just jumped out of the car. However, just when Leng Jin began to think that he had successfully persuaded Wu Linzhi, Wu Linzhi threw the plastic bag into the air when Leng Jin was not paying attention!

The plastic bag fluttered in the wind, and after circling around in the air for a bit, it landed on the road across the street! As many vehicles were on the road, Yu Hao's two severed fingers were instantly crushed by the vehicles' wheels, reducing them to a minced meat paste!

Wu Linzhi ran up and explained to Leng Jin, "Brother, I'm sorry! What you said sounds reasonable! Since Yu Hao happens to be both of our prey, we should pay attention to the order of who came to seek revenge on him first. As early as our childhood school days, he caused me to fall into a deep depression. What I just did was simply payback!"

After hearing this explanation, Leng Jin's face turned livid.

"By the way, regarding An Qi… If I am calculating accurately, I knew her first! Brother, I know I'm upsetting you, so I'll make myself scarce for a while. When your plan needs me, I'll appear in front of you at the right time!" After he said this, Wu Linzhi fled beneath the moonlight, faster than a cat.

In actual fact, Leng Jin had scouted him when they had met in a Parkour competition. At that time, Wu Linzhi was not fond of smiling, but Leng Jin had good taste, and in a glance, he could tell that Wu Linzhi was very talented.

Thus, he would visit Wu Linzhi every now and then to learn Parkour skills from him. Over time, they became more familiar with each other.

But, ever since Wu Linzhi had returned to the city... No… It was actually ever since Wu Linzhi had seen An Qi, who he had been thinking of day and night, Leng Jin realized that he could not control Wu Linzhi anymore.

At Lake Heart Villa…

As she was faced with Leng Yuchen's intimidating gaze, An Qi's long legs shuddered involuntarily. When Leng Yuchen caught a glimpse of these movements, he pressed his own long legs against An Qi's legs. As a result, An Qi trembled even more.

"Yuchen, are you awake?" An Qi asked, although she already knew that he was. "I haven't seen you since this morning, is anything wrong?"

"You are trembling so much, I should probably be the one asking you this same question!" Leng Yuchen placed his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. Now that his leg was already pressed against An Qi's leg, he did not mind pressing other parts of him against her either.

An Qi then said, "I just went to have dinner with Dong Manman, Sheng Jie, and Wu Linzhi... And..."

"Leng Jin." As An Qi could not bring herself to say his name, Leng Yuchen finished her sentence for her.

"You knew?" An Qi was startled.

"You should really be asking… Is there anything that I don't know?"

Da*n! An Qi thought in frustration. He never seemed to answer her questions directly.

Somehow, the way Yuchen reacted made An Qi's heart thump even faster. It made her recall the time when they were blushing and their hearts were beating wildly together… That first time…
