“Fuck yeah, I’m finally out.”
Lin Yu glanced back at Guyang City Prison, where he had spent the last two years, and let out an excited roar.
Today was the day he got out.
‘I wonder how my sister is doing now?’
He quickened his pace, walking anxiously in the direction of his home.
His sister hadn’t visited him once in two years, and now Lin Yu was very worried about her.
On the way, Lin Yu took out the piece of jade hanging from his neck and examined it closely.
‘The matron at the orphanage said I’ve worn this jade around my neck since I was a child.
I have no idea who gave it to me…’ Lin Yu was puzzled.
Once in prison, he had been beaten until his head was bleeding, and the blood had happened to drip onto the Dragon Jade.
His consciousness was pulled into an illusory space where he received an inheritance from a mighty ancient being, which included medical arts, Cultivation Techniques, and more.
Over the past two years, Lin Yu had used the Dragon Jade to acquire a host of new skills in prison.
‘Forget it.
Figuring out this jade’s origin isn’t urgent right now.
Getting home to my sister is the top priority.’
Tucking the jade securely under his clothes, Lin Yu hurried home.
A while later, Lin Yu arrived at his front door.
Staring at the dilapidated security door before him, a complex mix of emotions washed over him.
Lin Yu and his sister had met at the orphanage and had relied on each other for many years, right up until he started working and she got into university.
During those days, Lin Yu worked himself to the bone, bought a marital home, and supported his sister through her studies.
It was also then that he met the love of his life: Dong Liya.
She didn’t look down on Lin Yu for being an orphan and insisted on being with him despite her family’s objections.
Just before he went to prison, the two of them were about to register their marriage when Dong Liya was suddenly framed for tax evasion by her boss, Xie Mingcheng.
Without a second thought, Lin Yu took the fall for her.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Lin Yu raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who…
who is it?”
At the doorway, a frail, emaciated figure laboriously wheeled herself forward and fumbled to open the door.
Lin Yu froze instantly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms without him even noticing.
‘He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Was this the same adorable little sister who, just two years ago, used to dance like a little butterfly among the flowers in her white dress?’
“Brother, is that you?” He Xiaoqi’s hands groped forward ceaselessly, her eyes shut tight.
It was clear she had gone blind.
Lin Yu stepped forward and took his sister’s hands, his entire body trembling with heartache.
“It’s me.
How did you end up like this?”
“Brother, it really is you.” Clutching Lin Yu’s hand, He Xiaoqi burst into uncontrollable sobs.
All the grievances she had suffered for the past two years came pouring out.
“Brother, after you went in, Dong Liya got together with Xie Mingcheng.
They came to our house, snatched the property deed, and sold the place.
If it weren’t for Aunt Liu next door pleading with the new owner to rent it to me and paying the rent on my behalf, I would’ve been thrown out long ago.”
“Dong Liya also stole my ID card.
She ran up a lot of debt and took out high-interest loans in my name.
When the debt collectors came and I couldn’t pay, they took everything from the house…”
“Later, when I really had no more money to give them, they started beating me.”
“Dong Liya also told me that if I married Young Master Zhang, she’d give me a large sum of money to pay off the loans…
but she was the one who took out those loans in the first place…”
BOOM!
Lin Yu’s fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood that dripped to the floor.
He didn’t even feel it.
A thick, suffocating killing intent erupted from him.
‘Dong Liya, Xie Mingcheng, you’ve gone too far.’
His eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at his sister, who was a mess of tears, and the completely empty house, he felt like he was going to lose his mind.
“So you’re saying…
the debt collectors did this to you?” Lin Yu’s self-blame grew.
The thought of his sister living a hellish life for two years made it impossible for him to forgive himself.
He Xiaoqi shook her head, crying, “Xie Mingcheng and Dong Liya were trying to force me to marry Young Master Zhang.
When I refused, Xie Mingcheng got angry and pushed me down the stairs…”
“The doctor said…
I injured my spine in the fall.
I’m afraid I’ll never be able to stand again…”
As she spoke the last words, He Xiaoqi was overcome with despair, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
“Dong Liya!
Xie Mingcheng!
I, Lin Yu, swear I will never let you go!” Lin Yu roared, smashing his fist into the wall and leaving a deep crater.
Regret, self-blame, and rage made Lin Yu wish he could hunt down those treacherous bastards and get his revenge immediately.
“Brother, please don’t go after them!
You can’t win against them.
Now that you’re back, let’s just try to live a peaceful life,” He Xiaoqi said anxiously, worried about Lin Yu.
“Sis, I’ll work hard to support you from now on.
And I’ll find a way to heal you.”
Lin Yu swore that he would never let his sister suffer even the slightest bit again.
He also had to find a way to help her stand and see again.
Suddenly, the dilapidated door was kicked open with a loud BANG.
A tattooed man stormed in, flanked by several others, all of them looking fierce and menacing.
Hearing the noise, the color drained from He Xiaoqi’s face, and her body began to tremble violently.
Seeing how terrified his sister was, Lin Yu frowned.
“Sis, are these the guys who came to collect the debt?”
He Xiaoqi’s lips turned pale as she trembled.
“Y-Yes, that’s them.
Brother, you have to go!
They’re here for me, it has nothing to do with you.”
“Now that I’m back, leave the rest to me.”
Lin Yu’s icy gaze swept over the men, making their hearts tighten in unison.
The tattooed man looked at Lin Yu with a sneer.
“Well, if it isn’t the fall guy who did time for Miss Dong.
Didn’t expect you to get out.”
“It’s really pathetic when you think about it.
You just got out, and your ex-girlfriend is already about to marry Mr.
Xie.”
“How’s it feel to be a cuckold, huh?”
“Hahahaha.”
“They’re getting married?”
Lin Yu’s brow furrowed, and he clenched his fists.
The tattooed man roared with laughter.
“What?
You don’t believe me?
If you don’t, you can go ask Miss Dong yourself.”
“Watching your own ex-girlfriend marry someone else…
just thinking about it is a thrill.”
He Xiaoqi’s expression changed, and she gritted her teeth in fury.
Lin Yu had served two years in prison for Dong Liya, and now she was going to marry Xie Mingcheng.
“Break your own arms and legs, apologize to my sister, and then get out.”
Lin Yu’s gaze swept coldly over the men, his killing intent enveloping them.
The men were startled, a chill running through their bodies.
After a moment of shock, the tattooed man snapped out of it and roared, “You want us to apologize to this bitch?
And break our own arms and legs?”
“You have no idea what we’re here for, do you?”
The tattooed man pulled out a paring knife and toyed with it in front of his face.
He sneered, “Paying your debts is the law of the land.
Today’s the final deadline.
If you can’t come up with the money, I’ll dig out your sister’s eyes and feed them to the dogs.”
“Four, go get that black dog.”
Before long, the bald man standing nearby led a massive black dog into the room, which immediately started barking furiously at Lin Yu and his sister.
“Brother, I’m scared…” He Xiaoqi shrank back, leaning closer to Lin Yu.
