Chapter 849 - Unforgivable (2/2)
However, despite the use of his soft tone, Jianan was still afraid. He (Jianan) had finally reunited with Liu Ye.
What if these strangers treat them no different from their father? What if they get hit again or, worse, sold off to another adult?
His little brain thought about all the scary 'what ifs,' and his eyes turned moist. He tightens his hands, clinging onto his older brother.
What if they go with these strangers only to be separated?
Liu Ye knew his younger brother more than anyone and knew what he (Jianan) was thinking. He held the boy's hand, and as Jianan looked up at him, he smiled.
”They're the good guys.”
He knew this was true because he was in the same shoes as Jianan when he encountered Liu Shan and the others.
When he met Yue Ling and Lu Tian, he thought he would be thrown away or sent back to Red Moon. He had lost all hope, but these people, who he never met, were the ones to give him hope again.
Jianan stared up at his older brother. He was no doubt skeptical at first, but hearing Liu Ye's reassuring words, his heart told him to trust these people.
His little head gives a small nod, but he doesn't let go of Liu Ye's hand.
”Okay. I only trust brother and Jie.”
Liu Shan felt relief when he heard Jian an's words. He pats the boy on the head and stood up.
”Let's go wait in the car.”
He led the two boys in the direction of the car but didn't forget to make eye contact with Lin Hui.
Liu Shan: 'If that scum does anything, collect his fate.'
Lin Hui: 'His fate is already in my hands.'
The two subordinates quickly came to an understanding without words.
They knew Yue Ling purposely sent the two boys away as she didn't want them to be easy targets for their father.
Once the car doors opened and closed, Yue Ling confirmed that Liu Ye and Jianan were safe.
She kept her eyes on Liu Peng. When she saw him try to rush after his sons, she didn't hesitate to block his path.
”That's as far as you go.”
Liu Peng glares with daggers at Yue Ling. If his eyes could shoot laser beams, Yue Ling, would have been dead.
”Get lost! How dare you take my children away?!”
His fists clench tightly, and he scowls.
”I am their father! let my children go this instant!”
Yue Ling couldn't help but chuckle with sarcasm. Anyone who saw them would undoubtedly think she was an evil woman separating a father and his children.
One would even think Liu Peng was a dotting father concerned for his children.
However, only an idiot would see Liu Peng as a good father.
”You claim yourself as their father, but no father would sell their children just to pay off their debt.”
Hearing this, Liu Peng's face turned red in embarrassment. He knew that he was an alcoholic and couldn't stop gambling, but he didn't want to die with all his debt.
He had no choice but to sell his children to the people he owed money.
”I had no other choice...”
He murmurs the words under his breath, and tears swell in his eyes.
However, in a split second, anger rushed inside him, and he lunged at Yue Ling.
”What was I supposed to do? It was either my head or them!!”
Yue Ling watched the man angrily reach for her neck but remained calm.
Was she afraid of Liu Peng? Of course not.
”I don't think so, old man!”
From the side, Lin Hui quickly reacted. He steps in front of his boss and kicks Liu Peng in the stomach, sending him back where he came.
He held his leg out for a long second before lowering it. He stares at Liu Peng, who is now on the floor and throwing up from his kick.
”Is it time to collect his fate?”
Yue Ling's expressionless face stares down at the man vomiting. When she heard Lin Hui's question, she ponder for a second before slightly shaking her head once.
”Not yet.”
