Chapter 35: The Cruel Truth

Divers often know that ascending too quickly can be too much for the body to bear, causing hypoxic damage to tissues.

Watching Lin Shi approach rapidly while he was still four or five meters from the surface, Shen Jinbin visibly panicked.

Ignoring the strain on his body, he swam upwards at the fastest speed possible.

Not daring to look back, Shen Jinbin failed to see that Lin Shi had stopped his pursuit, mockingly watching Shen Jinbin's frantic escape.

This time, he no longer concealed himself but swiftly holstered his pistol into his space and took out a black weapon of death!

A crossbow!

He leisurely tied a rope to the arrow's tail and aimed at Shen Jinbin, who was getting closer to the sea surface.

He shot an arrow!!

...

The rapid ascent made Shen Jinbin's face increasingly pale, but his eyes were bright; the water's surface was near, closer and closer.

Finally, Shen Jinbin's head emerged from the water.

He removed his breathing apparatus, about to call for his bodyguard to pull him up.

However, at that very moment, his body suddenly trembled!

Looking down, a sharp arrowhead pierced through his abdomen, and blood quickly dyed the surrounding sea red.

The bodyguard also spotted Shen Jinbin and immediately jumped into the water to pull him up.

But in the blink of an eye, a tremendous force from the arrow pulled Shen Jinbin back into the water!

Shen Jinbin suddenly returned to the water, and the intense pain in his abdomen made him faint.

At this moment, Lin Shi no longer had the crossbow in his hand, only a rope, pulling Shen Jinbin underwater with force.

The bodyguard realized the severity of the situation and immediately dove underwater to rescue Shen Jinbin.

However, without a breathing apparatus, he could only dive a few meters before having to return to the surface due to lack of oxygen.

By the time the bodyguard donned his diving suit and went underwater, there was no trace of Lin Shi and Shen Jinbin below the surface.

...

Lin Shi dragged the unconscious Shen Jinbin, like dragging a dead dog, and threw him onto the beach of the small island.

Due to the rapid ascent, Shen Jinbin's large body had already shown symptoms of decompression sickness, with his upper body swollen immensely.

And the wound in his abdomen, pierced through, was blanched from being soaked in seawater, with infection only a matter of time.

Plus, having choked on water, he was barely breathing.

Lin Shi first took off his diving suit and performed several first aid measures on Shen Jinbin.

He did not remove the arrow; if he did, there was a high probability that Shen Jinbin would die immediately.

He still had questions that needed answers and could not let Shen Jinbin die so soon.

"Cough, cough, cough! Hiss!"

Shen Jinbin spat out a mouthful of water, coughing violently, which pulled at the wound in his abdomen, causing him to convulse in pain on the ground.

Seeing Lin Shi again, Shen Jinbin no longer had the expression of tyranny and arrogance, pleading:

"Spare me.

I can give you a lot of money..."

"Why did you want to kill me?"

Shen Jinbin's eyes moved.

"I didn't want to kill you..."

Lin Shi's eyes suddenly turned cold, placing his hand on Shen Jinbin's abdominal wound and digging in forcefully.

"Ah!!!" The intense pain twisted Shen Jinbin's expression, and his body convulsed, screaming in agony.

Lin Shi waited for Shen Jinbin to catch his breath and asked again:

"Why did you want to kill me? My patience is limited."

This time, Shen Jinbin dared not play tricks:

"You, you exposed Li Duocai's matter on the internet last time, dragging my father's company into the mess, causing the company's stock to plummet for a week...

I, I just wanted to teach you a lesson."

Shen Jinbin did not dare to directly say he wanted to kill Lin Shi.

"Then why did you want to kill my father?"

Shen Jinbin's expression changed,

"What are you talking about? What about your father?"

"Three years ago, when you went to inspect the factory, you splashed the drink into the machine causing an explosion, and an electrical engineer died on the spot.

Do you need me to remind you?"

Lin Shi's voice was like the frost of December, and he placed his hand on Shen Jinbin's abdomen.

Shen Jinbin trembled involuntarily out of fear:

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"I, I didn't know your father, it was my dad who made me do it.

The wrong has a head, the debt has a master, you go find my dad.

Please let me go!"

Lin Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You say, your dad made you do it? Why did he want to do this?"

Shen Jinbin swallowed his saliva and said:

"Because he had long coveted your mother, wanted to dominate your mother, but that cheap, that woman said that having an affair would ruin her reputation and always refused to agree.

So my dad ordered me to kill the engineer..."

The truth was so cruel, his own mother was the one who killed his father.

And the real mastermind behind the murder of his father was the chairman of Tianqi New Energy Co., Ltd.

The man who held the entire Hai City in his hands in the last life!

Seeing Lin Shi's eyes becoming more and more terrifying, Shen Jinbin defended himself:

"I was also forced, if I didn't do this, my dad would deprive me of my inheritance rights, he has several other sons outside!"

At this time, the sound of a yacht engine appeared in the distance, and a flash of joy and a trace of fierceness flashed in Shen Jinbin's eyes.

"One last question."

Lin Shi leaned close to Shen Jinbin.

"Ask you ask, I promise to tell you everything."

The strong desire to survive made Shen Jinbin's eyes full of expectation, he couldn't wait for Lin Shi to ask more questions, so that his subordinates would have time to rescue him.

"What does hell look like? Go and have a look for me."

Lin Shi's eyes were full of murderous intent, he pulled out the arrow that had penetrated Shen Jinbin's back and abdomen, and fiercely inserted it into Shen Jinbin's throat!

Shen Jinbin covered his throat, opened his mouth wide to gasp for breath, but the blood had already flowed into the trachea, making him only able to make a gurgling sound.

Listening to the approaching engine sound, Shen Jinbin's eyes were full of unwillingness and malice.

No!! He can't die!!

He still has a brilliant life, endless money, and endless women to play with!

He actually has to die at the hands of an ant he wanted to tease and retaliate against, how can he be willing!!

The strong desire to survive made Shen Jinbin's already scattered pupils recover a moment of clarity.

Seeing Shen Jinbin's eyes, Lin Shi was ready to make another cut, but at this time, a feeling of a sharp thorn on his back came from behind!

Lin Shi rolled on the ground quickly, and at the same time, a loud gunshot rang out.

The bullet shot into the sand where Lin Shi had just stood, and the sand flew!

It was actually a sniper rifle!

If he hadn't dodged just now, this shot would have hit his head!

Lin Shi's heart was cold, and he turned his head to see that the yacht had already appeared within two hundred meters.

Seven dark gun barrels were aimed at him, and a series of flames emerged.

Lin Shi dodged left and right, but was still hit by a bullet in the arm.

Dare not stay, Lin Shi quickly ran towards the forest in front of him!

Running into the forest, the strong sense of crisis weakened.

His hands and feet were scratched by shrubs and weeds, leaving a trail of blood.

But he didn't stop, and continued to run deeper into the dense forest.
