Chapter 145: I Have Killed Someone

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: I Have Killed Someone

"We don’t have any!"

Lin Jiao said assertively, "All this money was earned by Xia, clean and clear!"

"Then tell us, how exactly was it earned?"

Mrs. Lin asked aggressively, "And just how much money have you made exactly!"

"I don’t know..." Lin Jiao was suddenly at a loss for words.

Just as Mrs. Lin was about to question further, a wave of cold air hit them.

"I’ve made several billions!"

Wu Xia stepped out from the shadows, his face dark as he glanced at Lin Jiao’s parents.

These people were never satisfied, always liked to make trouble. Even after giving them money, they still wanted more.

Bang!

"What?"

Everyone’s eyes widened.

A few million was already an astronomical sum for them, what then was the concept of several billions?

"Xia, how exactly did you earn it?" Mrs. Lin’s attitude improved significantly, she said with a sycophantic smile, "Why not bring Yong along with you? He’s your uncle through marriage; after all, we are all family here!"

"I earned it by killing people, does he dare to kill?"

Wu Xia said indifferently.

If you don’t show these people a lesson, they will stick to you like flies.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were Lin Jiao’s family, Wu Xia would have dealt with them already, making them take a hike.

All the villagers were stunned.

They didn’t even dare to sit anymore, nor dare to eat the food in front of them.

Wu Gang and the others also had slight changes in their expressions, quickly pulling at Wu Xia, "Xia, what nonsense are you talking about?"

They had never seen Wu Xia kill anyone, although they knew Wu Xia was formidable, but this was their hometown, these were all neighbors they knew. If one were to be branded a murderer, what would they do in the future?

"Brother, it’s fine!"

Wu Xia smiled slightly and turned his head towards Lin Yong, "If you’re incompetent, then just stay honestly in these mountains, and don’t daydream all the time."

Lin Yong’s face turned pale as he was being spoken to, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes already bloodshot.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Lin Yong let out a scream and leapt forward.

"As long as you dare to kill, I dare to kill too. I’ll show you right now!"

Saying this, Lin Yong rushed to the chef, grabbed a kitchen knife, and was about to chop at the chef next to him.

"Fuck!"

Wu Xia cursed angrily, his face extremely ugly, he immediately rushed over and knocked Lin Yong to the ground, snatching the knife from his hand.

The surrounding villagers were also shocked, they began to retreat, afraid of being implicated.

"Let go of me, I’ll kill and show you, you’ll see if I dare!"

Lin Yong roared, "I dare to do anything you dare to do, I’m not scared!"

These people from this remote and impoverished place were all scared of being poor.

They envied the rich, were jealous, especially upon seeing someone else’s money that was beyond their comprehension. For that money, they would dare to do anything.

Wu Xia had a head full of black lines, not expecting Lin Yong to be so pig-headed.

Slap!

He raised his hand and slapped Lin Yong across the face, leaving Lin Yong utterly dazed.

"Killing is against the law, if you want to die, you can go ahead and kill!"

Lin Yong, with his head reeling, bellowed, "Why should I be scared with you here? If you dare to kill, I dare to kill!"

"Heh!" Wu Xia laughed coldly and stopped paying attention to Lin Yong; instead, he turned to look at the fellow villagers.

"Dear uncles and aunts, big brothers and sisters, I indeed have killed people!"

Bang!

Everyone abruptly stood up and began to retreat frantically.

Even Lin Jiao’s parents were scared and quickly moved backward, but they looked at their son, who was being held, and trembled as they knelt on the ground.

"Wu Xia, he’s your brother-in-law, let him go, we won’t make trouble anymore, we’ll go back right now!"

Wu Xia looked coldly at them and, still ignoring their pleas, continued to speak loudly.

"My money was also earned through killing!"

Boom!

Everyone was shocked once more; they even questioned if by accepting things from Wu Xia, they were becoming complicit with him.

Wu Xia didn’t care in the slightest about their expressions; this was the result he wanted.

Wu Gang and the others were going to live here for a long time, and now that their wealth had been exposed, they would certainly be envied, and perhaps targeted for sabotage down the line.

Now was the perfect opportunity to intimidate them, to make them recognize what’s good for them and stop looking for trouble in the future.

Seeing that his threats had taken effect, Wu Xia then offered them a metaphorical sweet.

"The killing I do is lawful, and those I kill are unforgivable criminals!"

Wu Xia continued, "Everyone knows that a military vehicle brought me back last time. In fact, these past years, I haven’t been studying at college but have been serving as a soldier on the front lines, fighting the enemy with valor. My money is my reward!"

"If anyone wants to have as much money as I do, you can also choose to enlist in the military and go to the front. If you survive and come back, you’ll have money!"

The heavy weight in everyone’s hearts finally fell, and they quickly realized the significance of that military vehicle that brought Wu Xia home, and those robust soldiers.

"Xia, you really scared us to death, talking in halves!"

"Doctor Wu, our Goudan is almost sixteen; I’m thinking about sending him too!"

"Right, Doctor Wu, can I still go at twenty-two?"

The village folks got excited again and began to ask questions one after another.

Wu Gang and the others heaved a sigh of relief, knowing Wu Xia’s plan. It solved all the issues and even showed them a path forward, making them both fear and appreciate him.

After calming everyone down, Wu Xia told them that someone would come to pick them up in a few days to take those willing to enlist.

Then, picking up Lin Yong, he looked at him coldly, "You wanted to kill, didn’t you? I’ll send you to the front line to experience what it’s like to be surrounded by mountainous piles of corpses."

"No, please no!" Lin Yong shook his head desperately.

He could only be tough in his own territory; if truly thrown out, he was nothing but a coward.

"You no longer have a choice," Wu Xia said gravely. "You’ll spend a few years there to temper your character. Stop causing trouble at home all the time!"

He had no intention of keeping this troublemaker close.

Especially since Lin Jiao was so kind and weak-hearted, she would be unable to refuse him later on, unsure of the trouble that could cause.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin wanted to plead on their son’s behalf, but Wu Xia firmly refused, "If he doesn’t go, considering his recent attempt at murder with a knife, you can only wait for him to rot in prison!"

"But he didn’t actually kill anyone, did he?"

"That’s because Wu Xia stopped him!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd. Zhang Lin, dressed casually, stepped forward. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she glared resentfully at Wu Xia before continuing.

"Lin Yong’s actions just now already amount to attempted murder. Even with the lightest sentence for attempted murder, it’s a minimum of five years!"

"Ah?" Mr. and Mrs. Lin were terrified.

Lin Yong was their treasure, and being incarcerated would be a disaster.

"I’ll join the army, I’ll join the army!" Lin Yong said excitedly.

Wu Xia and Lin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Jiao quickly invited them to eat, giving the space to Wu Xia and Zhang Lin.

With a look of silent reproach, Zhang Lin approached Wu Xia: "You just vanished without a word for over a month and now that you’re back, you don’t even come looking for me?"

"Uh?" Wu Xia’s heart skipped a beat, unsure how to face Zhang Lin.

"Zhang Lin, we’re not on the same path anymore. Forget about me and find someone to marry!"

However, even before Wu Xia could finish speaking, Zhang Lin had rushed over and threw herself into his arms, passionately kissing him.

In that moment, Wu Xia felt Zhang Lin’s deep love, along with her longing.

In that moment, Zhang Lin’s tear-filled eyes couldn’t contain the tears that streamed down her face.

In that moment, both were somewhat flustered, yet recklessly bold, passionately kissing in front of the whole village...
