188 That Kind Of Filth? (2/2)

Standing up, he asked, ”What did you say?”

Wen Zedong squeezed his eyes shut as his tears leaked out. He had long since succumbed to fear. ”I killed your wife, Lu Shen! I deliberately ran her over!”

Lu Shen didn't react. ”How did you know she was going to be pushed into the road?”

”I didn't! I was supposed to only keep an eye on you! But I saw your wife visit the mansion and I didn't think it was fair that you could still live so happily after wrecking my life! So when that girl pushed her, I started the car and killed her! Hahahaha, that's what you get for being a cold bastard! I don't regret what I did!”

Lu Shen was still expressionless, but the darkness in his eyes deepened. ”Who told you to keep an eye on me?”

When he heard Lu Shen's question, Wen Zedong laughed even louder. ”Who else could it be?! Such an outstanding son-in-law, I couldn't be any prouder. When he knew what I did to his sister, he didn't even blame me! He loves the Wen family more than his sibling! You'll never catch him, Lu Shen. He has the triad behind him! Hahahaha!”

Lu Shen suddenly smiled. But it was a mirthless smile, filled with disdain and contempt. ”He's only a member of the triad, and you think he's invincible? He doesn't even know that the leader of 14K branch [1] owes me a favor because I helped him three years ago. I'm not sure if he could still survive after I give the kill on sight order.”

His words made Wen Zedong shrink back. His bloodshot eyes widened, his palms clammy.

Wen Zedong stuttered, ”Y—You wouldn't! He's the brother of your wife!”

”That kind of filth?” Lu Shen snorted. ”Xiao Yin is better off without him. He doesn't even know how to distinguish between pigs and pearls. Instead of blaming me for causing his girlfriend's suicide, why didn't he blame you for being such a useless father-in-law? He clearly doesn't know right from wrong. And even daring to threaten Xiao Yin...”

Lu Shen picked up a pair of gloves from a metal tray and pulled it on. Reaching for a scalpel, he studied the intact flesh of Wen Zedong, deciding on where to cut. The man in the laboratory gown respectfully backed off.

”Lu Shen, you bastard, I already told you everything I know! Let me go! Bastard, let me go!”

Lu Shen approached the other end of the metal bed where Wen Zedong lay, tapping the flat surface of the scalpel on his forehead.

He clicked his tongue. ”Too noisy.”

The foul smell of ammonia permeated the air. Wen Zedong had lost control of his bladder.

Until the sun rose up in the sky, the screams coming from the basement never stopped.

But Wen Zedong was still kept alive.
