Chapter 208: Discovering the Truth

~6 min read 1,092 words

The entire room was shocked.

It seemed they had not expected Jin Shaoyu to protect this brother to such an extent.

As for other noble family brothers, they would all be itching to kill the other to monopolize power.

When Father Yu and Mother Yu heard their son being reprimanded, they felt a bit embarrassed, but out of respect for the two families' long-standing friendship, they remained silent; Jin Liangjin, as the head of the family, naturally had to step in to provide an explanation, and he looked at Jin Shaoyu: "You have truly been spoiled rotten, becoming more and more disrespectful."

Father Yu then followed the lead to step down: "It was just a young person's joke, no need to get angry."

Jin Shaoyu wanted to say something more, but was held back by Ling Wu.

Mother Yu was a very dignified beauty, with no traces of time visible on her face, and she spoke gently and appropriately: "Then the matter of the marriage alliance is settled."

Next, the two families chatted from business to officialdom.

They exchanged many details regarding projects.

Yu Shixue was very satisfied with this result; he had dressed quite formally, and now, tugging at his tie with Father Yu and Mother Yu by his side, he spoke with great confidence: "Uncle, I would like to marry A-Wu after the New Year, do you think that is acceptable?"

Jin Liangjin glanced at Ling Wu, but this eldest son, who usually had a mind of his own, was exceptionally quiet today, as if plotting something in secret.

Jin Liangjin: "After the New Year? Why such a rush?"

Yu Shixue answered frankly, without concealment: "I have liked A-Wu for a long time."

Jin Shaoyu, this "Great Demon King," was "suppressed" by Ling Wu and unable to move; he was secretly grinding his teeth in anger, arms crossed over his chest, legs crossed, looking as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes.

Why?

Why on earth?

What is so good about Yu Shixue?

Why enter a marriage alliance with him?!

Jin Shaoyu thought for a long time but could not figure it out.

The elders of the two families exchanged glances and laughed in unison.

Mother Yu saw Yu Shixue's impatient look and nearly failed to maintain her elegant smile... just look at this cheap appearance.

Does he really like him that much?

She and Father Yu had always taken a hands-off approach to the two children, but whether it was the eldest or the youngest, both were perverse and ruthless; it was hard to imagine such people fully and wholeheartedly loving another, bowing their heads in such a manner.

【Young Master Jin: Laugh at your dam!】

【Young Master Jin was hee-hee-ing a second ago, but the next second he heard his brother was going to have a marriage alliance with the germaphobe brother, he instantly stopped hee-hee-ing.】

【There are 800 schemes per capita in this living room...】

【Germaphobe brother, you are eating really well; you should just be happy you can have a marriage alliance with my male supporting character baby.】

【Red-hair, snatching the bride depends on you, forget that you were still crying in the clinic; brooding brother, it depends on you, forget that you are engaged (kicked away), I carried my bowl out to take a look, and our Shaoyu is still the most reliable.】

【So, after several episodes of the Shura field, Yu Shixue is the one who laughs last?】

Evening.

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

Jin Shaoyu knocked on Ling Wu's bedroom door: "Brother, are you there?"

No one responded, so he knocked two more times: "Brother?"

Jin Shaoyu had been holding his breath since morning; he just wanted to know why his brother agreed to the marriage alliance with Yu Shixue.

When did the relationship between the two of them get so good?

Does his brother like Yu Shixue?

How come he didn't know.

The room was not locked, so Jin Shaoyu opened the door and walked straight in; the sound of bathing came from the bathroom, masking his footsteps, and he placed the fruit platter he was holding on the table, only to see Ling Wu's computer left open.

A computer?

Jin Shaoyu had intended to pull his hand back, but at this moment, he couldn't seem to move.

On the computer screen were several strange programs that Jin Shaoyu could not understand; just like being attracted to Pandora's Box, he sat down in the chair, then gripped the mouse with his hand, and listening to the continuous sound of water from the bathroom, his heart jumped into his throat.

"Click!"

As the sound of the mouse click rang out, Jin Shaoyu quickly browsed through the content on Ling Wu's computer, and then discovered a hidden photo album; just as he was about to click into it, it prompted for a password.

A password.

What kind of password would his brother set?

Jin Shaoyu tried a few passwords and finally succeeded in clicking in on the third attempt; the beginning consisted of several photos with different faces, and the further he flipped, the more he saw several familiar people.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Jin Shaoyu had not yet realized the arrival of danger; it was the truth he had craved for a long time.

After switching to the next folder, inside was a video; at the very beginning, there was a white floor, the camera was unstable, and from the perspective of the shooter, it was very likely a secret recording, as most of the lens was blocked by clothing.

No information could be discerned from the beginning.

Jin Shaoyu moved the mouse to drag the progress bar to the middle, and a beautiful, gentle face suddenly appeared in the frame; his pupils shrank, as he could never forget the face of Ling Tingwan.

Beneath her body was blood, and she looked at everyone present with stubborn hatred; as the camera shook, the faces of Yin Cilan, Jin Liangjin, and others were revealed one after another, their expressions cold and mocking, like demons crawling up from hell, brandishing sharp weapons in their hands, hacking away at other people's flesh and blood.

Jin Shaoyu felt as if his heartbeat had stopped, his ears were ringing, and he suddenly felt the world spinning; a violent sense of hatred churned in his stomach, and his eyes were filled with dense blood and corpses; the last second of the video was the face of a young Ling Wu crying his heart out........
