“Shut up!” Mr. Lin shouted at Mrs. Lin angrily, “Things have already come to this. Haven’t you figured it out yet? How long are you going to protect this brat? Are you only going to realize your mistake when he sets fire and kills someone?”

Although Mr. Lin was strict with his words and laughter, he rarely got angry at Mrs. Lin. It could be seen how angry he was at this moment.

“What?! I… I’m not…” Mrs. Lin was stunned by Mr. Lin’s outburst, and she wanted to explain herself.

Mr. Lin didn’t give Mrs. Lin a chance to explain and warned her sternly, “Save it, I know how you’re like. I’m warning you, don’t protect him this time!”

Mrs. Lin seemed a bit unconvinced, but seeing that Mr. Lin was really angry, she didn’t dare to say anything else.

“Tell me, brat! Why do you know who the kidnapper is and why didn’t you tell the police?” After warning Mrs. Lin, Mr. Lin immediately turned his attention to his son, Lin Kedong, and questioned him sternly again.

Lin Kedong’s face was pale and he clenched his hands nervously, looking very uneasy. “I… I…”

“Tell me! Why are you hesitating? Do you have a guilty conscience?” Seeing him like this, Mr. Lin immediately became even angrier.

“Son, just say it. You didn’t kill Yao Lefei. It’s fine even if you know who the kidnapper is.” Mother Lin couldn’t help but say.

“Mr. Lin Kedong, Miss Yao is watching you here. Are you sure you don’t want to tell the truth?” Lu Zijia also spoke at this moment, but what she said made Lin Kedong shudder. He suddenly looked up and his body couldn’t help but tremble abruptly.

“Le… Lefei…” Lin Kedong looked around in panic, as if he wanted to find where Yao Lefei was.

All of a sudden, Lin Kedong knelt down. His eyes turned red and his voice was full of regret. “Lefei, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I must have lost my mind back then, but… But I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t mean it. Lefei, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Please forgive me!”

Lin Kedong’s words shocked Mr. and Mrs. Lin. Initially, Mrs. Lin wanted to help her son up, but when she heard what he said, she immediately stopped and her eyes widened in fear. “Son, son, what… What did you say? Why would you say that? Son, is Yao Lefei’s death related to you?”

Mother Lin, who had always been muddle-headed and only knew how to protect her son, was finally clear-headed at this moment.

Lin Kedong looked at his mother’s frightened face and felt even more ashamed. “Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. I also listened to someone else’s instigation, so… so…”

“So what? Tell me!” Mr. Lin’s chest heaved violently as he glared at his son, who was kneeling on the ground.

Lin Kedong grabbed the hair on both sides of his head fiercely with both hands, as if he was having a mental breakdown. “I lost fifty million yuan from dabbling in stocks. If I can’t pay it back, I… So, I couldn’t resist the temptation and colluded with someone to kidnap Lefei. From the beginning to the end, I never thought of hurting Lefei. I… I didn’t want to either, but I had no choice. I really had no choice!”

Lin Kedong finally couldn’t help but break down and cry bitterly, his voice full of painful regret as he said, “Lefei, you know that I really never wanted to kill you. I’m not the one who killed you, not me!”
