Chapter 38.2 - Lei Yan

Luo Yi stretched out his hand weakly, “it’s legal, dear, it’s legal…”

“No matter how legal it is, it will cost human lives!” Chu Jian looked at him coldly, “you want to die, don’t you?”

“Dear, I’ve closed the sex market, underground casino, and I’ve stopped selling drugs and smuggling… There is a large number of people I have to raise so I have to do it…” Luo Yi explained weakly, “and I’m also supporting my family. Your hospitalisation fees are very expensive…”

On the way here, the nurse had already explained to Chu Jian his current situation so he roughly understood what was happening. At the moment, he was even more angry, “how expensive is it? I’ll pay for it myself!”

Luo Yi sighed and presented the list with both hands. Chu Jian took it over and looked at it, and became more angry, “this is just robbing money! Who is the dean?!”

Under Li Xuan’s wide eyes, Luo Yi calmly stretched out his fingers and betrayed his good friend, “there, it’s him, and it was also his idea to be an arms dealer.” After that, he threw a good luck look at Li Xuan.

Chu Jian silently raised his eyes and cracked his knuckles.

Li Xuan, “…”

“Serves you right, you miser. Who knew a day like this would come?” Long Junhao said with spite and turned his head to Gu Chen, “come on, continue. Just now, you said that there were three forces that could pin down Lei Yan. One is Li Xuan, the other is Su Qing, and the third one?”

Gu Chen pointed to himself, “me.”

Long Junhao was quiet for a moment and his eyes brightened. “Oh right, I remember you said that your relationship with that organisation was complex. How so?”

The moment Gu Chen opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly stopped and silently looked at the distance. Long Junhao instantly had a bad hunch and rigidly followed his line of sight to see a group of people slowly making their way here. One of the two people in front was Yu Ao, the other, he didn’t know… But he could guess.

He said weakly, “that’s Lei Yan, right.”

Gu Chen nodded and Luo Yi hurriedly pulled his wife into his arms, and looked at the crowd in silence. They could only see that Yu Ao was saying something to Lei Yan, and the expression on his face was very cheerful. Long Junhao couldn’t help but secretly admire Lei Yan’s speed and ability to win people’s hearts. At this moment, another man slowly walked into view from the side. It was the beast who had been paralysed on the bed and had rushed over after hearing the news.

Long Junhao wanted to kill him when he saw him, but he didn’t dare to go there because Lei Yan was in front of him. At the same time, Yu Ao also saw the beast and hurried forward.

Lei Yan watched from the side, narrowed his eyes and raised his chin at He Tianfan. His men behind him understood and took out his gun and pulled the trigger with a bang.

Yu Ao was standing next to He Tianfan. He had been in the underworld for too long so his sensitivity to danger made him cover He Tianfan the moment he heard the gun. He immediately grunted in pain, the bullet had hit him in the shoulder and blood flowed out.

“You…” He Tianfan froze. He looked at the face close to his and didn’t know what to say.

Yu Ao held him in his arms, looked at Lei Yan and said nothing.

Lei Yan’s eyes turned dark in the instant when Yu Ao looked back. But he quickly adjusted back to his state, hurried over in alarm and regret, and lowered his head to write something on the handheld machine before handing it to the assistant behind him.

The assistant was a woman, very good-looking and had a gentle and sweet voice that would soothe the anger of the listener. She said, “Really sorry, Mr. Yu. The boss said he has a personal grudge with Mr. He, but he didn’t know you were both friends. If he had known, he wouldn’t have done this so please forgive him. He said that, for your sake, he won’t bother Mr. He anymore.”

Hearing this, Yu Ao kept away his dissatisfaction and nodded at Lei Yan.

“He’s… good at talking, huh. It was obviously on purpose.” Long Junhao, who had seen everything clearly in the pavilion, murmured. He looked at Lei Yan. The man’s face was rigid, imposing and frightening, but… He looked at the touch-screen technology in the boss’s hand, the boss never spoke. In his heart, he thought: He’s such a powerful person but he’s also a mute. Sure enough, God was fair to everyone.

Hearing his words, Gu Chen explained in a low voice, “he’s testing Yu Ao’s attitude towards He Tianfan. And that will help him decide when to kill He Tianfan. He also has many assistants who help him deliver messages. Different assistants are used for different situations. The appearance and voice of someone can sometimes control a person’s mood, and this is part of Lei Yan’s brilliance.”

Long Junhao sniffed, Li Xuan had already sent someone to help Yu Ao away, and Lei Yan came to him without any other concern. The prince immediately trembled and kept shrinking behind Gu Chen, “I… I don’t want to face such a sinister person…”

Before Gu Chen could say anything, the assistant outside opened her mouth, “Mr. Long, our boss came to see you when he heard you were ill.” As soon as the voice fell, Lei Yan also entered the pavilion and looked at Long Junhao.

A certain prince felt his innards trembling and for a moment, many thoughts rushed through him like lightning. Finally, he turned his head and looked at Lei Yan in a dull way while innocently saying, “brother, I want to eat candy…”

Lei Yan looked at him for a while, lowered his head and began to write. Gu Chen secretly pinched the prince to let him know that this wouldn’t work and Long Junhao immediately sniffed, “just kidding, I know you don’t believe me. Fine, I’ll stop pretending.”

Lei Yan’s hand paused and he deleted what he had written before writing a new one.

Seeing this, a certain prince suddenly brightened up and opened his mouth again, “also, actually I lost my memory. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Li Xuan and the others, they can testify.”

Lei Yan’s hand paused again, deleted and rewrote.

Long Junhao said again, “I know it’s bad to look at things I’m not supposed to look at, but I really forgot everything. The doctor also said I will never remember it so please forgive me. I’ll apologise to you.”

Lei Yan silently looked at the large bunch of newly written words, deleted them and rewrote them. His fingers were starting to get a little tired.

The assistant behind him broke out in a cold sweat. There hadn’t been anyone who dared to speak again before the boss “spoke”. The people who knew about it also looked at the prince with a twisted expression.

Long Junhao said again, “and about Gu Chen, you can’t blame him. He chose to be with me because he fell in love with me. I didn’t force him to stay, and he also never changed sides.”

Lei Yan looked up at him, then looked at Gu Chen, moved his fingers, lowered his head and repeated his previous action.

Long Junhao was so happy. Let’s just dawdle around like this, we can dawdle all day, oh, hahaha~

He continued, “so don’t blame Gu Chen. As for me, I don’t even remember my parents now so how can I remember other things? I’m basically a disabled person now, don’t you see?”

Lei Yan was silent for a moment, looked at him again, lowered his head, deleted and rewrote.

Long Junhao bit his lips and tried not to laugh. He took a deep breath and then said, “you’re such a powerful figure, there’s no need to bother yourself with a nobody like me, right? I’m not a threat to you at all, so just let me go, don’t…kill…me…” Before he could finish his sentence, he couldn’t help but freeze, because this time, Lei Yan had kept away his machine halfway through and was now looking at him silently. His imposing figure was so frightening that Long Junhao couldn’t say anything anymore.

Lei Yan looked at him for a while before suddenly opening his mouth, “won’t kill.”

The voice was deep and powerful, like his own influence. Long Junhao was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself that this man was not mute, but was actually too proud. Too proud that even opening his mouth to talk to them was something not worth doing. He also thought that a royal prince like himself wasn’t that proud so what does this man have?! He took a sudden step forward, straightened his chest, and immediately began to smile in a flattering manner, “oh, thank you for your graciousness. Although I don’t remember your kindness before, with this sentence, you are definitely the best boss in the world. I will definitely have a bright future if I follow you, I…”

Before his words were finished, Lei Yan opened his mouth again and pointed at him, “if I don’t kill y-you, I-I, w-will…b-be, belittling…m-m…m-my…” he took a deep breath and stamped his foot, “myself!”

A huge thunder passed from the sky and roared down. Long Junhao even felt that he could smell himself being burnt at that moment. He was scorched outside and tender inside. His flattering smile froze in an instant, and then…began to twist. Lei Yan was saying— if I don’t kill you, I’ll be belittling myself.

But! What’s this situation? It turned out that this man was not a mute, but a through and through stutterer! The most exasperating thing was that the man said he wanted to kill him, but oh my god, he wanted to laugh, he really wanted to laugh out loud. He thought he was really crazy this time! A thousand c ao ni ma 1 i nternet slang for ‘fuck your mother’ or ‘fuck’ roared out at the bottom of his heart!

His expression continued to twist. A profound silence prevailed.

“Hahaha…” Just then, Chu Jian, who had been watching the show, suddenly leant against a pillar and squatted down while grabbing his stomach, “oh, I’m dying, this is hilarious. This…Hahaha…”

Long Junhao tightly bit his lips while his body trembled, and raised his thumb at him in his mind. Chu Jian, you’re amazing!

Luo Yi hurried over and dragged him behind Long Junhao and the rest— because Lei Yan’s people blocked the entrance of the pavilion, he advised, “wife… keep your voice down…”

“Why?” Chu Jian rolled his eyes. “You criminals don’t allow me to laugh?! I’m laughing at you guys!”

Long Junhao continued to raise his thumb. Chu Jian, you’re so cool!

Luo Yi immediately wanted to cry “don’t include me. But don’t provoke him anymore…”

“Oh?” Chu Jian tilted his head and asked, “will he kill me?”

Luo Yi shook his head. “You’ll be fine with me.”

“Then I won’t stop,” said Chu Jian. “Even if he’s angry, he’ll vent it on the prince. That’s none of my business, right?”

“…” Your prince will blow you up!

Lei Yan continued to look at him, “I, I, I won’t, won’t, won’t…”

Long Junhao stretched out his hand, his body trembling, “You’d better write it down. I won’t interrupt this time…” I won’t interrupt even if I die!

Lei Yan then lowered his head and wrote. After a while, the assistant sweetly said, “Mr. Long, our boss said that it’s not that he didn’t believe that you forgot, but the matter is very important so he must be on the safe side.”

Long Junhao’s inwardly trembled, “then what do I have to do for you to believe me?”

“It’s very simple. Our boss has a lie detector. As long as you pass, he will believe you.”

Long Junhao’s eyes lit up and without even thinking about it, he jumped over, “OK!”

Gu Chen and Li Xuan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and Gu Chen rushed over, “Hao Hao, don’t—”

Before he could finish, Lei Yan grabbed onto Long Junhao. A certain prince heard a click in his ear and his neck was covered with something. At the same time, Lei Yan also let him go.

The assistant’s sweet voice sounded again. “This is a time bomb. It will explode in five minutes, but rest assured, the bomb is not powerful and will only break his neck, so everyone will be fine.” After that, she turned her head and looked at Gu Chen. “The boss said that since you like this one, he’ll give him a chance. If he doesn’t die this time, then the boss won’t want his life anymore. Everyone, farewell.” The moment she finished, the group of people turned around and left. Before he left, Lei Yan looked at Gu Chen then he looked at Long Junhao, “w-wish, wish, you, good… g-good… good…” He stamped his foot again, “good luck!”

“…” Long Junhao said, “am I supposed to say thank you…”

Lei Yan didn’t answer and turned away. After they left, Li Xuan and Luo Yi immediately stood in a row and bowed three times in the direction of Su Cong’s courtyard.

Long Junhao looked at them rigidly and his voice trembled, “what… are… you… people… doing…!”

The two said in unison, “worshipping the jinx.”

“…” Long Junhao calmed down for a moment and roared in anger, “your prince is about to die so what are you even worshipping? Save me ahhhh!! I don’t want to die!!!”
