Chapter 88
Chapter 88
The Four Lin Brothers were among the best in their line of work. After operating in Southeast Asia for over a decade, when had they ever suffered such outrageous humiliation?
They were actually being threatened by a woman?
And yet, they genuinely didn’t dare make a reckless move.
There was something deeply unnatural about this woman. No normal person could possibly understand what went through her head. She was an extremely dangerous individual.
Fortunately, Yun Jianyue couldn’t read minds. Otherwise, she would have burst out laughing on the spot.
Her? An extremely dangerous individual? Had these sheltered fools never seen what real danger looked like?
“Are you going to drop him or not? If not, hurry up and answer my questions! Men are always dragging their feet and dithering over everything. Just looking at you annoys me.” Yun Jianyue launched an indiscriminate attack against every man present.
Si Wuming stared at Yun Jianyue in shock, his innocent puppy-dog eyes wide.
Why did he get the feeling that Yun Jianyue was scolding him too? Was it just his imagination?
Maybe he should find a chance to tell her his secret after all. She seemed rather unhappy with him…
The greatest innocent victim of all, Gao Weimin: What did I do to deserve being scolded? Just because I’m a man? I hate people who make sweeping attacks against entire groups more than anything! I’m furious!
After saying that, Yun Jianyue belatedly covered her mouth in a transparently guilty attempt to defend herself. “Oh, that wasn’t a sweeping attack against all men. I was simply insulting the four of you equally.”
Lu Changxue roared, “This is no time for your cutesy voice! Get down to business!”
After being yelled at by her best friend, Yun Jianyue immediately turned serious. “You heard my bestie. Start talking, or she’ll eat you.”
When had she ever said she would eat them if they refused to talk? Lu Changxue was beside herself. Damn Yun Jianyue, always adding lines for her! She was just an innocent little ghost. What had she done wrong?
Lin Tianjue sneered. “I’m afraid your best friend wouldn’t dare eat us. Do you know who stands behind us?”
“Who else could it be? My husband,” Yun Jianyue replied, speechless.
Lin Tianjue nearly started swearing. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
“Isn’t the one backing you the Evil God you worship? At least get your facts straight about who the Evil God belongs to!” Yun Jianyue tugged on the Red Thread of Fate. “Come on out, summoned beast. Hurry over and see what the blame they’re pinning on you looks like.”
The Four Lin Brothers couldn’t see the Red Thread of Fate. All they saw was Yun Jianyue waving her hand around like a lunatic and muttering incomprehensible words under her breath.
What police department had sent a madwoman to work undercover?
Mo Chen, the summoned beast and Evil God, appeared before Yun Jianyue with a stormy expression. He seized her wildly flailing wrist. “Do you really think of this god as your summoned beast, you bitch?”
“You always come whenever I summon you this way.” Yun Jianyue didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she had done.
An Evil God had materialized out of thin air in the room, and it was none other than the Evil God the four brothers worshiped. The Four Lin Brothers nearly fainted in unison.
Why had Lord Evil God, who had never once revealed his true form despite all their years of worship, been shaken into appearing by a few casual words of nonsense from Yun Cuihua?!
Si Wuming stared fixedly at Mo Chen’s hand around Yun Jianyue’s wrist and clicked his tongue in irritation.
He didn’t know why, but the sight was an eyesore.
He wanted to kill Mo Chen.
Mo Chen was rendered speechless by Yun Jianyue. Every time she shook the Red Thread of Fate on her end, the one around his hand shook just as violently. It irritated him so much that he had no choice but to appear and make her stop.
“Speak. What blame are they trying to pin on this god?” Mo Chen decided to get down to business.
Yun Jianyue pointed at the Four Lin Brothers. “They say they worship you and that you’re the one backing them. Apparently, every rotten thing they’ve ever done was on your orders.”
“Bullshit! Don’t put words in our mouths! We never said Lord Evil God ordered us to do any of those immoral things!” Lin Tianjue was furious. How could Yun Cuihua spread such vicious lies? Didn’t she know that slander was immoral too?
Trembling with fear, Lin Tianjue dropped to his knees before Mo Chen. “Lord Evil God, you have to believe us! We have never tarnished or smeared your reputation! We are your most loyal believers!”
Mo Chen gave Lin Tianjue a look of disgust. “This god has no believers, nor does this god need any.”
Those worthless things that relied on the Power of Faith to become so-called Evil Gods were nothing but trash.
He was powerful enough on his own. He had no need for human worship.
“My lord, you can’t just turn your back on us! You’ve accepted plenty of offerings from us over the years! You guided us to do many of those things too. Why else would we steal Huaxia’s classified information?”
Lin Tianjue was truly panicking now. He yanked open his collar, exposing his less-than-muscular chest. “Look, my lord! This is proof that you transformed our bodies. Have you forgotten?”
Over Lin Tianjue’s heart on the left side of his chest was a hideous scar resembling a centipede. Dense, artificially bestowed runes covered the scar. This was the reason Lin Tianjue was impervious to blades and bullets.
“That’s right, my lord! Your divine power granted us miracles too!” Lin Chunshu hurriedly stripped off his shirt, revealing an almost identical centipede-like scar on the left side of his chest.
The other two Lin brothers bore the same scar as well.
Yun Jianyue produced a handful of sunflower seeds from nowhere and cracked them between her teeth as she watched. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nominal Husband, you really do have dementia. You can’t even remember what you’ve done.”
“Why should I admit to something I never did?” Infuriated by Yun Jianyue’s spectator-like attitude, Mo Chen waved his hand and made every last sunflower seed on her vanish.
With her sunflower seeds confiscated, Yun Jianyue flew into a rage. She pointed at the Four Lin Brothers. “The scars on all four of their chests still contain traces of the Evil God’s Power, and it’s exactly the same as yours!”
Mo Chen was about to explode. “I didn’t do it!”
Lin Sicheng, the idiot, completely failed to grasp the situation and continued declaring his loyalty with unwavering conviction. “These are the miracles you bestowed upon us!”
“This god has no need for believers as stupid as you.” Utterly exasperated, Mo Chen used the Evil God’s Power to seize Lin Sicheng by the throat and hoist him into the air.
He wanted Lin Sicheng dead.
He might not be able to kill that wretched woman Yun Jianyue, but surely he could kill these detestable humans who had come out of nowhere and tried to make him take the blame for them!
“My lord! You can’t treat us like this!” Lin Chunshu stared at him in disbelief. He couldn’t understand why the Evil God’s attitude was completely different from when he had accepted their offerings.
Mo Chen seized Lin Chunshu by the throat as well and suspended him in midair.
These stupid humans were unbearably noisy. They could all die!
Realizing that Mo Chen truly intended to kill them, Lin Fengting’s mind raced. The only person who could save them now was Yun Cuihua.
“Make him stop! Weren’t you going to bring us to justice? You can’t just carry out an extrajudicial execution!”
Yun Jianyue covered her eyes and cried out with utterly emotionless theatrics, “Ah! I’ve gone blind! I can’t see a thing!”
Then she abruptly changed her tune. “Anyway, we only need to take one survivor back for interrogation. Scum like you? My husband can kill whoever he wants. If he kills a few more, we’ll just call it ridding society of a menace.”
Seeing that Lin Chunshu and Lin Sicheng were about to be strangled to death, Lin Fengting shouted, “Spare them! I’ll tell you anything you want to know!”
