Chapter 876: Threatening the threat
" Ah—-"
" Do not scream or else you will die here," Lin Yu threatened as he looked at the two women. He glared at Lai Tianqin through his eyes and then pushed the knife that was pressed against Second Madam Lai"s neck even more harshly. " If you want to die then you can make as much ruckus as possible ."
" I will suggest you that you don"t though," said Lin Chen as he arrived behind Lai Tianqin and aimed the cross brow at her head. " If you make a sound then this thing will cause your head to explode. Like boom your flesh and brain would splatter all over the walls and floor. It will be nasty as fck."
Lai Tianqin looked at Lin Yu and Lin Chen. Her entire body was trembling. What happened? The entire Lai house was surrounded by guards and secret guards, how in the world did the two of them arrive at their room and that too without anyone noticing anything?
" Yo…You two, you better not make a move on us," threatened Lai Tianqin as she tried to suppress her trembling and act as if she was not scared. She looked at the two men in front of her and then stated coldly, " The Lai family knows that your wife made a move on my mother, if we were to die then the blame would surely fall on your head and you will suffer!"
" Thats right!" Second Madam Lai chimed in as she nodded her head but as soon as she made a move Lin Yu pushed the knife against her neck and then sneered coldly, " Even if we get into trouble, it doesn"t matter as the two of you will be long dead. The two of us need to make a single move and everything will be fine, so what do you say? Shall I make a move? Slash this old neck of yours?
Bet it will be a bit tough with all those age lines but I am sure that with how thin your skin has become it won"t take long before your life escapes from your mouth."
On the side, Lin Chen grinned and added, "It is not like you two being alive would bring us any lesser trouble. In fact, it can be said that the current trouble has something to do with you two, doesn"t it?"
Second Madam Lai stiffened she knew that this man would really harm her which was why she shook her head and asked her daughter to not make a move. These people were not kidding they would really kill them!
Lai Tianqin was also not stupid, she could see that the two men were really intent on killing them and thus pursed her lips in silence. She did not say anything more and simply stayed on her bed silently before asking, " What do you want? I am telling you that if you dare to do something to me or my mother then my eldest aunt will surely make a move on you two and that wife of yours."
When she mentioned Su Wan, Lai Tianqin"s tone was contemptuous because she did not put Su Wan in her eyes at all. That woman was not only born to a couple in the countryside but also had five husbands, why should she respect her?
Of course, Lin Yu and Lin Chen also heard the contemptuous tone in her voice. Lin Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lai Tianqin and then sneered coldly, " This is the first time I have heard an illegitimate daughter who was a result of an affair talking in such a contemptuous manner."
" Thats right, what are you so proud of?" Lin Chen questioned as he nudged the side of Lai Tianqin"s head with the side of the crossbow as he said, " At least my wife has a legitimate father, what about you? Do you even know who your father is?"
Lai Tianqin was stunned upon hearing the words of the two brothers. On the other hand, Second Madam Lai stiffened. She looked at Lin Chen and Lin Yu with a shocked and scared expression, a part of her was worried and another part of her was in disbelief.
How…. How could these two know?
" You..what kind of nonsense are you two spouting?" Lai Tianqin thought that the two brothers were making fun of her, thus she could not help but get angry. She glared at Lin Yu and then said, " Even if you want to embarra.s.s me, you shouldn"t say such words!"
" Are we talking nonsense? Why don"t you ask your mother?" Lin Chen offered Lai Tianqin a sweet smile as he leaned forward and then looked at Second Madam Lai. " Why don"t you tell me your daughter whether we are speaking nonsense or not?"
Second Madam Lai did not say anything for a short while but then she snapped out of her daze. She glared at the two men and then said, " What are you saying? My daughter is the daughter of the second master, of course!"
" Really?" Lin Chen drawled as he looked at Second Madam Lai and then smiled even more widely before saying, " You know... if the rumours were to spread that your daughter"s eyes look a lot like the first master, with your sister"s suspicion it wouldn"t take long for her to realize that something is wrong about you. What do you say? We fight to the death?"
When Second Madam Lai heard Lin Chen"s words, she stiffened and looked at him as if he were the devil himself. She knew that if she dared to go against him, he would really spread the rumours.
" You, what are you threatening us with? My mother will definitely——"
" I agree. What do you want me to do, just tell me," before Lai Tianqin could finish what she was saying. She was interrupted by Second Madam Lai.
" Mother?" Lai Tianqin looked at her mother in shock. Was she really not the daughter of the second master? Was she the illegitimate daughter of the first master? How could this be?
However, facts spoke louder than words. Her mother agreed with the two men"s words which meant that she was indeed the daughter of the first master instead of her father!
Lai Tianqin looked at her mother as if she was some sort of bug on the ground feeling disgusted and repulsed at the same time. This was the woman whom she had respected all along and she backstabbed her like this!
What kind of mother was this? She was just a shameless woman!
Second Madam Lai could not care about the disgusted look of her daughter, she simply looked at the two men and then said with a subtle smile, " You two young men, there is no need to get angry like this right? We can discuss this matter slowly, if you are upset then I can go ahead and tell my sister not to make any move against your family."
" Who wants you to say anything?" Lin Yu scoffed with a disgusted look on his face. " Do you think we need your help to sort out the Lai family? We rose from the position of nothing but mere commoners and then became the county magistrate and local landlords. Do you think that we are not capable of dealing with your family? Like h.e.l.l, we aren"t!"
" The…Then what do you want?" Second Madam Lai couldn"t help but ask, she looked at Lin Chen and wanted to turn her head to look at Lin Yu but the latter pushed the knife on her neck and sneered, " You better not make a move. If you do then I have no choice but to end your sorry life here."
Second Madam Lai stiffened not making a move as she lowered her head and acted docile.
" I want you to become our spy. No matter what happens in the Lai family, we need you to tell us right away, if you don"t then I will make sure that everyone in the city knows about your colourful deeds, understand?" Lin Yu stated causing Second Madam Lai to turn even pale. Just what kind of devil did she provoke? These people wanted her to betray her sister!
Did they even know what kind of person she was?
" But——"
" Of course, if you silently listen to us then we can help you get away from this city with a huge chunk of money from the Lai family," Lin Chen added as he looked at Second Madam Lai. He knew that the woman was greedy and thus grasped her weakness at once. " We don"t really have any feud between the two of us.
As long as your son-in-law and your family know what"s important to you, you three can survive along with your grandchildren. If not …." He raised his hand and then made a move of thumb being dragged across his neck scaring Second Madam Lai who clasped her skirt tightly in her hands and nodded.
" I understand! I understand! Just leave my secret alone, if my sister knows then she will feed me to her dogs! I won"t even know how I died!"
