Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu
Chapter 1008 - 1008: Prison teachings

"Show me your car right now!"

Shui jolted with his voice raised to intimidate her.

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do? I was just here minding my own business and you are barging into my privacy!"

Shui caught the shadow from behind him creeping closer towards the dealer.

"Were you really minding your own business or sticking your nose in my business?" He gritted his teeth. "Tell me the truth. You were spying on me, weren't you?"

"Why would I spy on you? Do I know you?"

She threw him an incredulous look while the corner of her eye tracked the figure coming closer. He walked so silently and precisely didn't disturbed even a molecule of air around him.

"How would I know! The only thing I know is that you are suspicious. So show me your car right away!"

The man behind the dealer was now only inches away. He stretched his arm towards him, not causing even a single vibration that would alert the dealer.

"I…won't," her heart sped up, "I won't show you my car. You are just harassing me."

"You really don't listen, do you!?"

He raised his hand to slap her which was caught the moment it came up. It all went down in a matter of a few seconds but the only thing he heard was an ominous cracking sound. The realization dawned on him later that it was his own elbow that didn't seem to be in its right place. Then came a vicious kick that landed straight on his lower back, forcing him to drop down on his knees. One moment, he was facing Shui and the next moment, he faced the concrete gravel.

He looked up tremblingly, pain shooting up and branching out from his lower back to his whole body.

"What…what the hell!"

Lin had securely locked his wrist in his hand, which he had forcibly bent at his back. He tried to flail his right arm to attack him, but Lin had already created a safe distance that was out of his reach.

Shui watched the showdown begin and end in a span of such a short time that she could barely catch the journey of Lin grabbing his wrist until he brought him to his knees.

"Are you alright?"

Her stupor broke. "Sorry?"

"Are you alright?"

"Oh! Oh yes, yes. You came just in time…But wait, how did you know I was here?"

"Your cousin told Cai, Cai told me, I found your driver and your driver told me. I was nearby attending some business about the cafe. Why did you follow him though?"

"Hey are you listening to me? Release my hand!" The dealer exclaimed.

Lin was neither bothered nor fazed by his outburst.

Shui said, "I caught him in a black car so I ended up following him. Yijun wouldn't have found him at the deal site anyway. B-But…"

"But?"

"...You know how to fight?"

She felt awkward asking that question but couldn't help it with her curiosity. With an extremely polite demeanor, she had never considered a person like him well-versed with fighting.

Lin plainly said, "I didn't before but prison teaches you a lot of things."

"Huh?" She was stunned. "But uncle said that you never got into fights with anybody."

"I learned it from an older man. I had time in my hands. He had time in his hands. So we both used it to pass our time."

"..."

"Wait is he that same man who killed his brother and took over his business?"

"He claims that it was not a murder but the need of necessity. Please don't say murder if you ever meet him. You will hurt his feelings."

"..."

Unknown to them, the dealer had planned to take Lin by surprise, taking advantage of him being busy in conversation.

All of a sudden, Lin looked at him as if his attention had never wavered in the first place.

"Keep that blade where it is. You are only gonna get hurt."

How the hell did-

"I just know."

He pressed his fingers on his wrist, almost swelling it red and dangerous. He gasped with the pain and sweated.

"Why did you do that? Why did you plant drugs in my cafe?"

Shui said, "We will learn that once we know who he was working for. One of them being your prison officer."

Lin stared at her, stunned. "Officer Chang?"

"And somebody else too but I couldn't see his face. He was in backseat of the-"

"Siiiiisss!"

Her view was immediately blocked by a crushing teddy bear hug that enveloped her from all sides.

"Oh my God, you are safe! I had my heart sinking this whole time!"

"L-Let me go Yijun…I cannot breathe…"

"Do you know how worried I was!" He sniffled.

"Yeah, yeah I get it but y-you are smothering me."

"Do not repeat this stunt next time!"

Shui gave up on her fate.

"It is him!"

Cai, who was accompanying Yijun, pointed at the dealer and glared at him.

"He was the one who came to our cafe that night."

He sneered. "You won't be able to touch me at all. Don't think that you have won."

Yijun smiled back. "We will see in the bureau how long you will be able to hold your tongue back."

Shui released herself from Yijun's crushing hug and breathlessly said, "You need him to confess about Chang Fang's involvement and another man but I couldn't see who he was. But he probably looked like giving the orders."

"So Chang Fang was indeed in all of this."

"I saw him clearly too. Just not the other man…"

They came out of the parking lot with Yijun behind the dealer this time, who had handcuffed his wrists.

"Keep walking," he coldly ordered.

As he pushed the dealer's head into his police car, a shocked voice echoed from their back.

"What is happening here?"

Shui turned, her eyes slightly widening upon crossing paths with Jin and Alix.

"So you…you were really here?" She whispered to herself, recalling what she felt as seeing Jin passing by.

Alix, on the other hand, was staring at Lin and Cai with a buzz of questions on top of her head.

"...Why are you with the cops?"
