Chapter 120 The Death of Hu Lunan (1/2)
Long Tianhao and Lin Zhongyu stood in front of the tent entrance and watched as the girls went in and out of the tent.
After they busied themselves for a period of time, suddenly, there was a loud cry which came from within the tent.
”Ah!... How did this happen?”
”My sister, my pitiful sister!”
Fortunately, they did not hear the voice of Lin Mengya. The two men at the entrance of the tent gave each other a look as they tried to suppress their anxiety.
After the noise died down, Lin Mengya emerged from the tent, her face ashen.
”What happened, Elder Sister, why you look so...?”
Lin Zhongyu was the first to approach Lin Mengya to tug on her sleeve and asked with caution.
”I'm alright, I just didn't expect that brute to do such a cruel thing to Elder Sister Yue Ting.”
As a medical student in modern times, Lin Mengya was rather numbed to the sight of dead bodies of all shapes and sizes.
However, what she saw of Elder Sister Yue Ting's lower body shocked her.
Those b*stards not only sexually assaulted her, they even...
How did the pitiful Elder Sister Yue Ting endure all the sufferings? If not because of the fever caused by the septic wounds, would she continue keeping quiet about it?
Lin Mengya was overwhelmed with anger that she began trembling. If Baiji had not tried to restrain her, she might have gone out to look for those perpetrators to take revenge on them.
”Elder Sister, please do you bring harm upon yourself by being furious. I will get someone to kill those perpetrators.”
Lin Zhongyu looked at his Elder Sister with pain in his eyes, as he reached out for Lin Mengya's hands which had been balled up into fists and pried them open.
Lin Zhongyu was troubled to see that Lin Mengya's palms had been pierced by her own nails to produced blood red lines.
”They are all dead.”
Long Tianhao stood before Lin Mengya and there was a chilly look in his eyes.
He had killed those b*stards earlier on. In retrospect, he had been too kind to them.
There was fiery furry in Lin Mengya's eyes, while her body had already accumulated such great hatred that it could destroy the entire heavens and the earth.
”That's right, they were all dead now, but the real culprit is still alive and kicking.”
Lin Mengya's voice was so cold that it could freeze people to death. Her furious eyes were directed at the Crown Prince's tent not far away.
Fortunately, the surrounding tents had been relocated.
The remaining tents around them belonged to Long Tianhao's confidantes. It was almost impossible for others to hear those words spoken by Lin Mengya.
”Don't act impulsively because we will be able to revenge for Yue Ting soon.”
Long Tianhao tried to stand in Lin Mengya's way, fearing that she would act rashly, so as to bring about serious consequences which they could not salvage.
”Rest assured; I understand.”
As she said this to Long Tianhao, she began gradually suppressing the anger and hatred and carefully concealing it in her heart.
Impulsiveness would only ruin their plan. Moreover, if she wanted to take full revenge which encompassed all the past and present grievances, she needed to have a carefully thought out plan.
All of a sudden, a commotion could be heard coming from not too far away.
The eyes of all three of them were temporarily drawn in the direction where the noise came from. In a little while, the messenger of the imperial guards could be seen running towards them.
”Prince Yu and Princess Yu, the Second Prince of the western vassal state had been found murdered in his tent!”
”What?!”
Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya glanced at each other as their mind went into a frenzy. Were they not just talking killing him and he was dead?
”Alright, I get it. You may go now.”
After Long Tianhao sent the imperial guard messenger away, he led Lin Mengya and Lin Zhongyu into Long Qinghan's tent.
They did not expect to find the lad to be hugging a beauty, having fun. When he saw the three of them entered his tent, his face turned ashen.
”Third Elder Brother and Third Sister-in-law, together with that kid, please, this tent belongs to me!”
The untidily dressed beauty tried to nestle in Long Qinghan's arms in panic. Although Long Qinghan was complaining about them invading his privacy, he still sent the beauty out after giving her a pat on her shoulder.
”Humph! What a lecherous and shameless man.”
Lin Zhongyu had never liked playboys like him and so he was blunt with his comment.
Long Qinghan's face fell at the thought that even a young lad by Third Sister-in-law's side despised him.
”I'm not going to hold it against the lad on the account of my Sister-in-law. What happened again now?”
Long Qinghan spread the palms of his hands as he asked and he was totally not perturbed about how he was caught in an embarrassing act.
Long Tianhao seemed to be used to his brother's unrestrained behavior. He frowned slightly and took his time to say,
”Hu Lunan is dead. He just died.”
”What? That's not possible! I secretly questioned the imperial physician this morning and he told me that his life is preserved. How could he have died?”
Long Qinghan jumped out of bed and stopped behaving like an unrestrained youngster.
”No matter what had happened, he's gone now. I'm afraid King Ming would not let this matter rest.”
Lin Mengya's brows knitted as she tried to calmly analyze the situation.
At this moment, what she needed to know was the situation at the time this happened. It would be easier to explain if Hu Lunan had died of his injury.
However, if he had been murdered in his tent, as in this case, it was hard to say if people would look in her direction once again.
”Your Highness, the Prince, we can't keep the two Peach Blossom Dock killers alive now.”
After Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, she made a decisive conclusion.
She had initially planned to wait out so she could use the bait the catch a bigger fish, but now she was left with no other choice but to abandon this plan and made do with whatever the situation gave her.
