Chapter 379 - [Bonus ]

" You brat, I see you won't confess -" growled Lin Chen as he prepared himself to lunge at Lin Yu but then -
" uh, no, third brother? My fifth brother is right. He didn't do anything naughty" Qi Mei was a sensible girl and she knew that the matter was serious so when she came together with her siblings to the dining room and heard the serious accusation upon her fifth brother, she immediately spoke up and gave her testimony " I saw sister in law leaving the house on her own, and fifth brother wasn't with her at all. She was alone and she looked really serious so I thought something happen - third brother, is everything right ?"
Lin Chen wanted to be scream that nothing was right but then Uncle Shen, banged his fist on the dining table as he glared at him. Silently ordering him to stay put and not to speak any more nonsense. Once Lin Chen turned silent, Eldest Uncle Shen smiled kindly as he gently stood up and picked Qi Mei in his arms, he rubbed her silky little head and said softly " of course everything is alright. It's just your brothers being a complete dunce and couldn't keep check of their wife. They are useless and it's nothing to do with you, it's them who are nothing but complete idiots !"
Complete idiots Lin Jing, Lin Yan, Lin Chen and Lin Yu: "...."
The other complete idiot Lin Rui in his dormitory: " achoo"???!! Why? Why did he feel this sudden chill up his spine?
" you didn't notice Wan Wan's absence as well, what are you talking about ?" said Madam Zhou with a soft scoff, her voice was contemptuous and so was her glare " how can you call them useless, when you didn't even notice her gone for so long? They are still young boys and bound to commit mistakes, what's your excuse ?"
The boys: ' An angel!! That's an angel, alright !'
Eldest Uncle was snapped at his wife for his incompetence and couldn't do anything but clear his throat awkwardly as he put down Qi Mei on her chair and usher her brothers to come in and take a seat as well " fine, I think I will just go and ask one of my acquaintance to check up on her for me -"
" that's better" sneered Madam Zhou, as she tapped the table with her fan " useless old man!"
She too felt like she was sitting on pins as she uncomfortably shifted in her chair. Ever since she got to know that Su Wan was missing her heart wasn't at ease, especially when that poor girl had so many enemies after her." I think I will go and have a chat with the wife of the Yamen officer, she will help us"
Mother Lin looked up when she heard the word Yamen, she uncomfortably shuffled her feet and opened her mouth to speak but then -
" sister in law!" shouted little Qi Zhi as he pointed at the front door, and everyone turned to look at the figure that was awkwardly walking inside and then everyone was running out.
Lin Chen was the first to run out of the dining room closely followed by Lin Yan and Lin Jing, at the end was Lin Yu who was silently cursing his leg for being lame.
" wife! Where were you? I was so worried, I - what happened to you ?" the relieved smile on Lin Chen's face dropped when he finally came close enough to Su Wan, to notice her messy appearance.
Su Wan's forehead was swollen, it was swollen so badly that it resembled a toddler's fist. Traces of blood could be seen on her face, with dust and dirt flecked on her face. Her hair resembled a bird's nest, leaves and sticks were sticking out of her hair and her clothes were dirty as well. Her skirt was torn on her knees, revealing a bit of her jade skin.
" who did it ?" snarled Lin Chen as he rushed towards Su Wan, he gripped her shoulders as he studied her injuries. And the more he looked at her, the more worse she looked - her palms were scratched, her cheeks were covered in small scratches as well..her forehead was the worst, swollen and with a very deep gash on it " tell me who did it! I will end them - I will fucking kill him! WHO TOUCHED YOU?"
Lin Chen didn't care if something happened bad to Su Wan he will love her just the same but that bastard - he will fucking skin him alive!
" what's wrong? Wan Wan! Tell me what happened? Ah, Chen stop you are hurting her can't you see? " Lin Yan pushed Lin Chen away understanding that his third brother was losing his control once Lin Chen was dragged away by Lin Jing, Lin Yan turned his attention to Su Wan as he patted her cheek " what's wrong? Who did this- tell us, we will deal with the situation as we deem fit-"
" what do you mean deem fit? We will kill that man - limb by limb mgkdjc-" before Lin Chen's description get even more gruesome Lin Jing covered his mouth in his hand and looked at Su Wan.
Though he looked calm, no one could ignore the rage burning in his eyes " yes, tell us who was it, we will deal with that person lawfully" after they were done with him that is.
Lin Yu took one look at her and he was already walking out of the house, 'lawfully ?' are they kidding? He will fucking burn that guy down!
But before he? could walk out of the house, Someone grabbed his wrist, impatiently he turned to look at who it was and when he couldn't even snap at that person who was holding him back " Wan Wan let go, I need to deal with -"
" nothing happened jeez, can you not jump the gun" complained Su Wan though she felt really happy upon seeing how protective they were regarding? her " I just went to bring this -"
" what?" asked Lin Yan but then she looked at him with a gaze he couldn't understand and then before he could ask why she was looking at him like this, she pressed her palm lightly against his chest. He looked down and then felt his eyes widen in surprise " Wan Wan, why are you so -"
" stupid? Crazy?"? helped Su Wan as Lin Yan took the string from her hand " well, I already did it. So there is no point of complaining or scolding me, so just wear it kay ?"
Lin Chen and the others looked at the golden string and felt their eyes twitch.
" don't tell me, you became like this - only to bring that...?" asked Lin Chen feeling something he couldn't put his hands on, what's this, why was this? Yeah, his questions didn't make sense but so did the string! Why would someone be so beaten up like that just because of a string?
" that's right and if you excuse me, I will like to sleep," said Su Wan as she took a step forward but then her eyelids suddenly drooped ' eh?' and then before she could finish her sentence, darkness fell over her.
And the last thing she heard was the anxious shouts of her husbands and a warm cocoon embracing her, and then she knew no more.
