527 Out of Hand! (1/2)
It was foreseeable that things would end up becoming a miserable scene if their already-fragile heart was deceived further.
As far as the old woman was concerned, her life was miserable enough. If Liu Sanshui defrauded her of another 40,000RMB, how would she be able to live with the rest of her life? It was more than likely that her savings only totaled 40,000RMB, and her expectation was to save her grandson using money. The eventual loss of all her wealth would deal such a strong blow to her and certainly send her into despair!
Not even a young man could withstand it, let alone an old woman.
It was entirely possible that such a blow was enough to kill that old woman!
There are codes to be adhered to, even with robbery—irrespective of the situation, one must not destroy human life!
In Ye Lingchen's eyes, Liu Sanshui's behavior was even more disgusting than Amaterasu Genetics, for the latter relied on the last glimmer of hope in people's hearts. It was equivalent to giving them a mental breakdown!
”Liar? I'm a proper company! You're the liar!” Liu Sanshui roared with reddened eyes.
”Then let's wait for the police to come. By then, we'll know who's the liar,” Ye Lingchen said leisurely and spoke at a moderate pace.
He was very calm, but Liu Sanshui was anything but. The bones of his hands were completely dislocated, and the pain came in waves. His body was soaked in cold sweat within that short amount of time.
”HECKLER! YOU UNRULY THUG!”
Liu Sanshui roared with grief and anger, ”I sincerely wanted to help you, but I never expected to receive your suspicions in return. I won't look for your children! Hehe, I've taken countless cases, and some children were caught by traffickers. Their hands and feet were broken and they were forced to beg on the streets, and some children were caught and brought to impoverished mountainous areas as child brides, where it was better for them to die than live. Just wait, all of you!”
Sure enough, the expressions of everyone around him changed drastically as soon as he said that. Liu Sanshui struck the most fragile points in their hearts and he did so viciously. Mothers even began to cry immediately, though they did so in silence.
”You... Let him go, he's a detective. We still need to count on him to help us find the children,” the old woman said tremblingly.
”Yes, our child is suffering. He isn't a liar.”
”How can you be so rough on him? What evidence do you have to prove that he's a liar? Why did you hit him?!”
”Huhuhu, there's nothing else we can do. This is our last hope.”
...
Ye Lingchen did not speak, nor did he glance at everyone. He raised his hand slowly and slammed down on Liu Sanshui's cheek!
SLAP!
With that slap, half Liu Sanshui's teeth were sent sailing across the air. Blood filled his mouth in an instant, and that half of his cheeks swelled up miserably.
”You... You...” Liu Sanshui's expressions changed completely that moment and he looked at Ye Lingchen as though the latter was a devil. On that occasion, his fear was genuine and he felt that Ye Lingchen was completely uncontrollable.
”If you cheat forty-thousand out of one person, there are no less than fifty families here that lost their children. That is equivalent to at least two million. You can earn all that in one night and run away. It's even better than doing sales.”
Ye Lingchen's face was calm, and he helped them settle scores with Liu Sanshui. ”That slap just now was on behalf of everyone.”
After that, he moved his hand again and gave a backhand slap!
SLAP!
The remaining half of his teeth were knocked out, and his whole face swelled like steamed buns as blood scattered all over the ground. Not even his eyes could be seen.
Liu Sanshui's lips moved up and down but he was unable to speak.
”This slap is for those children.” Ye Lingchen's eyes remained cold, while his frigid voice made everyone feel as though they were in an ice cellar.
