Chapter Fifteen Help Me Once Again

  "Ah!" Sun Changfeng's whole body shook, and he let out a loud cry. However, since half of his body had been severely injured, he couldn't move from the spot. He could only twist around in place, with more fresh blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

  Zhou Lin's shot was originally aimed at Sun Changfeng, intending to kill him with one bullet. However, due to his weak limbs and agitated emotions, despite being close at hand, his aim was off by who knows how much, and the bullet ended up hitting his thigh instead.

  However, this also reminded Zhou Lin that killing Sun Chengfeng with one shot was too cheap for him. So, he fired several shots at Sun's limbs and finally felt unsatisfied, so he fired another shot to destroy the lower body of the guy.

  Chinese men from ancient times to the present have had an extremely strong possessive desire for women, regardless of whether there are feelings or not. As long as she is their own woman, they cannot let other men take advantage of her. In contrast, when it comes to betraying their own women, most people actually hate the man who replaced them more.

  "You killed me, but you two won't be able to escape either...!" Sun Changfeng's body shook violently like a blood gourd, as large mouthfuls of fresh blood mixed with shattered internal organs and flesh poured out of his mouth uncontrollably. Yet, in his eyes, a crazed light flickered: "Lin Shao will not let you off... my master will also come to take revenge on you, and when that time comes, I'll be waiting for you down below to keep me company..."

  "Damn it, your whole family is dead, and I won't go with you either! Goodbye, grandson!"

  Wang Chan ignored Sun Cheng's words, which were like a flash of light, and instead focused on regulating his breathing to recover his strength. Zhou Lin, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and burst out laughing, firing all the bullets in his gun in one go, but it was pointless as Sun Changfeng had already died after saying those words.

  After a while, Wang Chan patted Zhou Lin's shoulder with his hand, picked up the backpack containing his custom-made large gun, stood in place for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, things have already happened, you can also be considered a sworn enemy. It's not worth being sad about such a fickle woman. Let bygones be bygones. However, so many people have died now, and this Sun Chengfeng seems to have some background. What do you want to do?"

  Wang Chan doesn't socialize much and won't comfort others, he speaks his mind directly and quickly according to his own will, without hiding anything.

  "Hmph, what else can be done? A person is dead, and naturally they'll be thrown into the mountains. After one night, it's guaranteed that even the bones will be gone, fed to the big wolves in the valley." Zhou Lin slammed the gun in his hand onto Sun Changfeng's corpse, let out a snort, but his face was surprisingly rosy, and his spirits slowly recovered.

  "You're quite ruthless, but dealing with these corpses is easy, it's the aftermath that's difficult. You know I'm a person who likes peace and quiet, and I still need to spend some time in the mountains, I don't want this matter to get entangled with me, disrupting my normal life. You'd better give me an explanation, can you make sense of this thing? If not, I'll have to make some preparations and head back into the mountains."

  As for Zhou Lin's method of dealing with the corpses, Wang Chan didn't find it unexpected at all, but rather thought it was normal. After all, deep in the mountains there were plenty of large carnivorous beasts, let alone these few people, even if there were ten times more, throwing them into the mountain, overnight they would definitely be left without a trace, their bones would be gnawed by those hungry old wolves and swallowed into their stomachs, destroying the evidence cleanly to a degree that was much safer than binding them with stones and sinking them directly into the Wusuli River.

  "No big deal! This Lei Hu and his gang are all wanted nationwide, they're dead anyway. That bitch was an orphan with no parents, originally a hostess in the provincial city, her death is also a clean slate. The only troublesome one is Sun Changfeng, behind him is Lin Shao, whose family from top to bottom are high-ranking officials, even in the capital city they have great connections. However, this time since he's plotting against me, wanting me to die without a burial, I, Zhou Lin, will not sit idly by waiting for death."

  Wang Chan didn't quite understand what Zhou Lin meant, but this had something to do with him after all, and he couldn't just ignore it, so he could only patiently listen to Zhou Lin continue speaking.

  "You also know that this batch of antiques I brought back to the country this time were all looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance when they invaded Beijing, a total of 25 pieces. Among them, 18 have been confirmed to be from the burned-down Yuanmingyuan, and 7 are from other sources. At that time, in order to transport these things into the country, my subordinates really made a big stir on the old Mao's side, and several people died. Maybe it was because of this reason that Lin Shao knew some news, which led to this disaster. And you're also implicated!"

  It seems that he suddenly thought of something, Zhou Lin smiled wryly and continued: "At worst, I'll go to Beijing in a couple of days. There's an old man of my father's generation who is still alive, although he has retired, but when it comes to talking, no one dares to underestimate him. I plan to donate these things directly to the country through him, hoping to exchange for a promise, so that Lin Shao won't dare to touch me again. However, in doing so, I also hope you can help me with another favor, go to the provincial city and take care of my daughter for me."

  Zhou Lin is now in his forties, approaching fifty. He married early when he was young and had a daughter with his ex-wife, who is several years younger than Wang Chan. Her name is Zhou Yahang. The relationship between the father and daughter has always been good until two years ago when Zhou Lin couldn't resist marrying that woman who is twenty years younger than him. This led to estrangement between them, and in a fit of anger, Zhou Yahang moved to the provincial city and never came back.

  These things Wang Chan naturally knew, and he was also quite familiar with Zhou Lin's daughter. In the past when Zhou Lin had not yet made a fortune, he was saved by Wang Chan at the foot of Tiger Head Mountain, and in the following years, the two families frequently came and went, and during holidays, Zhou Lin often took Zhou Yahuan to Tiger Head Mountain, and naturally became familiar with each other.

  Especially Zhou Yahuan, the girl who lost her mother since childhood, has been used to living independently since she was a child. She is also very strong-minded and introverted, which is completely different from Zhou Lin's personality. After entering school, she became fascinated with karate, which is highly technical, and practiced it diligently every day like a tomboy. It is said that after graduating from university last year, she found a job as a karate instructor at a high-end fitness club in the provincial city.

  Now that something has happened, Zhou Lin was kidnapped and provoked a "big shot" who absolutely couldn't afford to mess with him. Although he already had some countermeasures in mind, he was afraid that Zhou Yahang would be harmed because of this. For the sake of his daughter, Zhou Lin could only swallow his pride and go ask for Wang Chan's help.

  "If you don't help me, they will definitely use Yaohan to threaten me... what can I do?... I'm not afraid of death, but I cannot let Yaohan die with me..." Zhou Lin said this while staring straight at Wang Chan, his eyes full of pleading.

  "That Lin Shao is extremely lustful, and his heart is cruel to the point of being deadly. Without you by my side keeping an eye on things, even if I went to the capital to seek help, I wouldn't be able to put my mind at ease... Moreover, since you saved me, it's also ruined Lin Shao's good fortune, he will definitely find trouble with you sooner or later... Brother, please help me again, helping me is equivalent to helping yourself!"

  After interacting with Wang Chan for so long, Zhou Lin deeply understood that people like Wang Chan, who have lived in the deep mountains for a long time, are those legendary hermits who hide their tracks in the mountains and forests. In the hearts of such people, there is a unique outlook on life and values, and the wealth and glory that people see as gold are nothing but floating clouds to him. To move Wang Chan's heart, one can only speak the truth.

  "So, if I don't agree with you, and those people find out about you later on, won't you also betray me?" Wang Chan looked at Zhou Lin's expression seriously, and as soon as he spoke, he hit the nail on the head.

  "Now we're both on the same boat, if you don't help me protect my daughter, I won't have any energy to fight with Lin Shao. If they catch me, even if it costs me my life, I won't betray you, but if they catch Yahan, I'll be completely helpless..." Zhou Lin sighed and spoke the truth.

  "My old father used to tell me that in this world, people's hearts are the hardest to fathom. Either one should live a simple life, hiding away in the mountains and forests for a lifetime, although lonely, but able to enjoy oneself. Or one should throw themselves into the big dye vat of the outside world, experiencing all its ups and downs until the moment of death when everything is seen through. Actually, I never had plans to spend my whole life in the mountains, sooner or later I would have to go out and take a look at how wonderful the outside world is."

  Wang Chan suddenly laughed and said loudly: "You're considered a friend of mine, even if this matter doesn't concern me, you came to ask for my help and I wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. Moreover, your daughter has been calling me 'little uncle' for so many years. You go take care of things in the capital, and leave Yahan's place to me. If you can't handle it, come tell me again, and I'll take care of it for you."

  Wang Chan suddenly turned his face and smiled.

  Although he also felt that Wang Chan's words were a bit strange, seeing Wang Chan agree to his request, Zhou Lin was immediately delighted and didn't think much about it. He hastily said: "Alright, let's settle on this then. You go back home and arrange things first, see what needs to be packed up. I'll get some people over here to take care of things, tomorrow noon I'll meet you at the foot of your mountain, and we'll head to the provincial city together. This trip won't take too long, I'll find someone to help you get a full set of ID papers, and use my connections to get you into the fitness center where Ya Han is working. I'll take care of all these things right away."
