Chapter 554 - Lin Jin
"What the fck!" Bai Liu and Wu Yi cursed after Yi Bing told them about Huo Ling's conjecture about Lin Weng's uncle – Lin Jin. "Are you sure?!" they asked as they looked at Huo Ling in disbelief.
"This is just my conjecture." Huo Ling answered. "But, the possibility is high." He told them.
"Then… let's go to the Lin residence?" Wu Yi spoke.
Yi Bing nodded. "En." He answered. "We have to know the enemy first before we go to their lair." He told them.
"This is a sensible decision." Bai Liu agreed. "It just happens we still don't know where their lair is." He said. "Let's go!" he told them.
"Yes." they nodded and they left, heading to You Ri's community.
…
Haoming company.
"Why can't we find them?!" Shi Nana asked, feeling frustrated as she hit her table. There are big circles under her eyes that are bloodshot.
Li Yan isn't any better. His hair is disheveled and his cheeks are sunken. He looked like he suddenly aged. Their colleagues have started to stay away from them since Hao Ming scolded them that day. Only Li Li looked better than them. Although there are black bags under her eyes, she has maintained her fair and smooth skin which made their colleagues admire her, especially the n. This made Shi Nana's teeth ached in anger.
"Maybe they got mad so they didn't appear before us again." Li Yan tried to pacify them.
"Or maybe they think that we are beyond saving." Shi Nana snickered as she glanced at Li Li whose face paled. "We all know who hard her worst." She said as she looked at Li Yan whose face turned dark before she turned to Li Li whose face turned red in sha. "I admit I was never good to her, but I won't admit I am like the two of you!" she said. She finally had enough! Yes, she deserves to be hated by You Ri.
But, why did she have to group together with these two?! They are the ones who hard You Ri more than she did!
"Shi Nana! Are you trying to run away?!" Li Yan asked in anger as he watched Shi Nana left. Their colleagues are watching them on the side.
"No!" Shi Nana answered as she turned. "I will admit my mistake and have those masters have talk with You Ri to apologize!" she said before she left.
"Damn it!" Li Yan cursed as he kicked the chair. "What are you looking at?!" he asked the others.
"Tch! Damn arrogant bastard!" they muttered as they returned to their works. "He deserves to be haunted by You Ri. Who told him to assault her?!" they said and glared at Li Yan.
Li Yan's face turned green. anwhile, Li Li sobbed. She imdiately covered her mouth.
"Hey. Li Li also is being haunted, right?" they heard the others whispered. "Do you think that she is…?" they asked.
Li Li's face turned even paler. But, before she could speak, she felt nausea and she vomited.
"Li Li!" Li Yan cried as he rubbed Li Li's back.
"Ge…" Li Li called as she clutched the pregnancy test kit in her pocket along with the result she got from the hospital this morning. "I… I am pregnant." She spoke. "And, it's yours." She told him.
Li Yan's eyes widened in shock. "WHAT?!" he exclaid.
"Ge…" Li Li's tears fell.
"No…" Li Yan muttered as he stared at Li Li in disbelief.
"Ge…?" Li Li called when she noticed that Li Yan's expression looked off. She raised her hand to touch Li Yan.
"No… it isn't mine!" he said as he slapped her hand away.
The others heard the slapping sound and they looked over again. It isn't over yet? They thought and frowned for being disturbed in their work.
"Ge… this is yours!" Li Li told him.
"No!" Li Yan answered. "That shouldn't be mine… yes, yes… I saw you once dining with your forr suitor. It should be his, right?" he said as he glared at Li Li.
Li Li gaped at him in shock. "Ge, you… how can you say this?" she asked, feeling hurt. "It was you… it was you who took my first ti!" she said.
The others who are near them heard them and they gasped.
"It was you… this is the test result and it coincides with that date." Li Li spoke as he gave the paper to Li Yan. "And I only dine with him for a short while. I imdiately returned. He's also already married!" she told him. "I only have you in my heart!" she added.
"No!" Li Yan torn the paper without even looking at it. "I don't believe you!" he told her before he stord out.
Li Li sobbed as her tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
"Girl…" the nearest female colleague sighed as she comforted Li Li.
anwhile, their male colleagues stared at her in shock. She… wasn't she and Li Yan half-siblings?! They thought. But, they shut their mouths since they saw Li Li broke down.
…
"Ha." You Ri's resentnt grinned as she watched what just happened.
"Are you done watching?" Hao Ming who is standing beside her asked. "Your family has returned last night." He told her.
"Them?" You Ri's resentnt sneered. The black wisps of air float around her dark figure. "They don't deserve my kindness." She said. "Never." She added."
Hao Ming nodded in agreent.
"Do you know who killed ?" You Ri's resentnt asked.
"It shouldn't be your family." Hao Ming answered.
"I think so, too. They don't have the guts." You Ri scoffed.
Killing her is also killing their cash cow. But, now that their cash cow has died, who will provide for their expenses now?
"It can't be Li Yan, Li Li or Shi Nana, either…" Hao Ming muttered.
You Ri's resentnt frowned. "Then, who do you think it was?" she asked.
"My people have found out that the ticket of the You family that they won through a raffle was from the Lifea." Hao Ming told him. "Does this ring a bell?" he asked.
"'Lifea'? A Western company for life products?" You Ri's resentnt said.
Hao Ming nodded. "Can you rember anything else regarding this company?" he asked. "Like a client, perhaps." He added.
But, You Ri's resentnt shook her head. "No. I have never had any client that is related to Lifea." She answered.
"I see." Hao Ming sighed.
…
"You aren't from the exorcist society." The middle-aged man spoke as they all sat down when Lin Jin's wife received them earlier.
"You can tell?" Bai Liu asked.
Lin Jin nodded. "You don't have that crazed fanaticism in your eyes." he answered.
"'crazed fanaticism'?" they asked.
Lin Jin's wife just listened as she poured them so drinks.
"Let introduce myself first." Lin Jin spoke. "I am Lin Jin, the uncle of Lin Weng who is being hunted down by the Dawn of Light." He said.
Their eyes widened in shock. "You really know?!" they exclaid. Then, they turned to look at Huo Ling. He is right again! They thought.
Huo Ling's expression remained calm. "We apologize for suddenly barging in. I am Huo Ling." He introduced himself.
"Yi Bing." Yi Bing spoke.
"I am Bai Liu, and this is Wu Yi." Bai Liu said and pointed Wu Yi who nodded at Lin Jin.
They waited for Lin Jin to introduce his wife, but then saw that he didn't and his wife just remained silent. Their brows furrowed, feeling that sothing is wrong.
"She's not my wife." Lin Jin told them. "She is my servant, whom I told to pose as my wife to fool the Dawn of Light." He explained.
"We will get to the point, then." Huo Ling spoke. "We are looking for Lin Weng, but because he is related to You Ri and he t her before she died." He said. "Of course, we already know that he isn't her murderer after investigating. We want to find him for two different matters." He looked at Lin Jin. "One, to find out who is You Ri's murderer. Two – " his fists clenched. " – to know what exactly is the Dawn of Light planning to do, which made them hunt down Lin Weng." He told him.
Silence fell as Lin Jin finished drinking. He wiped his lips before he answered. "For the first matter, I know You Ri. She was Lin Weng's classmate before and she is a nice kid." He spoke. "For the second matter, I think you have already guessed based from your expressions. The appearance and number of the ghosts have increased." He told them.
Their expressions turned grim. "What about Lin Weng?" they asked.
Lin Jin stared at them. "You also have already guessed it, right?" he asked back. "Lin Weng can revive soone." He told them.
It really as Huo Ling guessed. "Then, the Dawn of Light wanted Lin Weng to revive soone from death?" they asked.
"It isn't possible if soone has been dead for long." Lin Jin answered.
Their brows knitted when they sensed sothing from his words.. "You an… the Dawn of Light knows that soone will die and they want Lin Weng to be present to revive that soone after they die?" they said.
