Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 494 Pay for his sins



Chapter 494 Pay for his sins

  Jinhai’s steps made a dangerous clicking sound as he approached Liao Yun. “You have been making quite some business abroad which doesn’t conform to the Underworld rules I set.”

He pronounced the last word with a chilly voice. He stepped onto his ankle, increasing the pressure of his heel. Liao Yuan sharply gasped in pain. Sweat trickled down his forehead.

Jinhai expressionlessly tilted his head. “I am not a very nice man when you do things – when you hurt my family, and when you break the Underworld rules. So, what should I do to punish you? How would you like your torture to go?”

Liao Yun widened his eyes. “I-I didn’t break any rules-aah!”

Jinhai pressed until Liao Yun felt his bone breaking.

”S-Stop!”

”You know what happens when you go against me. If you are afraid now, you shouldn’t have made such mistakes in the first place.”

He gritted his teeth in pain.

”H-How did you…know about today’s plan…?” 

”It’s not any difficult for my husband,” a cold voice slipped in. 

Caihong smiled as she enjoyed the miserable expression on Liao Yun’s place. “You think tapping Mom’s phone would be a tedious job for Xiaosi? Not just that, we even recorded your confession. Each and every word you said to Mom in your base.”

”Impossible! She didn’t have anything with her!”

She sneered. “Tapping devices have become compact these days. You should visit S3 some day. I will show you what type of surveillance devices with. Mom’s left earring has a tiny recorder fit in it.”

He froze.

”Thank you for your useful confession. It’s going to help Yunru a lot in putting you to jail.”

”How did you even know about me!?”

Xiaosi raised his brow. “It wasn’t so difficult. I did some digging and came to know an interesting fact about your son. It was him who told Huang Rong about Xinyi’s abortion attempt before the reunion gathering happened. He wanted to put strain in their relationship so that they would divorce. But they didn’t. That’s why, Liao Yuan returned from abroad soon after the reunion party to take matters into his own hands. The timing matched. Then the attacks on Zhiyuan happened after he confessed to Xinyi again during the Annual Business Summit, but she rejected him.”

He shrugged. “Maybe he gave one last try but failed. So, he had no choice but to kill Zhiyuan. Since Dad saw Mom outside Grandiose where the first attack took place, it was easy to connect the dots. Liao Yuan was also there for the conference. It was easy to give her instructions when he was himself present. But I felt it strange that your son knew Mom or why she worked for him. I just couldn’t grasp the connection between them.

Then when Caihong told me that Mom had an underworld past from where she had escaped, I thought that maybe she worked for the Liao family not because of him but you. Someone who is older and around her generation. Otherwise, it wasn’t really making any sense to me. It was either you or your father, Liao Junjie. I put my bet on you.”

Back at the time when An Yueqin was busted for faking her identity and amnesia, Yunru had tried to convince her to take their help. At first, she was really hesitant.

But after getting some encouragement from him and a certain someone, she finally agreed. This was a chance to catch Liao Yun red-handed. 

Xiaosi glanced at Jinhai. “You do remember that Yunru will be arresting him, right?”

Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “I don’t like it when cops interfere in the underworld stuff.”

”Well, he did compromise by letting you get a few hours with him alone with your guards to mess him up. Be happy. He is a cop. He cannot blatantly let you take the law in your hands.”

Liao Yun shuddered while Jinhai only sneered.

Caihong curiously asked, “I wanted to know one thing for a while now. How did you get involved in our problem? I mean, I understand he was going against the underworld rules and all, so you are here but…Did you really put so many guards of yours to catch a single man? Not like Liao Yun’s guards were any match for you.”

He squinted his gaze. “To be on a safer side since your mother was involved. Until she was trapped with him, it was dangerous.”

”Yeah but why for my Mom?”

”I am not supposed to tell you this.”

”…”

”But I will tell you anyway.”

”…”

You are quick to break promises.

Jinhai smiled. “I was keeping tabs on Liao Yun for a while anyway. But one day, somebody approached me for my help to get Mrs. An Yueqin out of his place.”

”Huh? Who?”

”Han Huizhong.”

She froze. Her eyes slowly widened, stunned silly. She turned to look at Xiaosi, but he didn’t seem to show any expression.

She stammered, feeling still in shock, “W-Why would be do this?”

Jinhai answered. “I don’t know the full details, but I guessed

from his speech and expressions that he did something to hurt you in the past. I guess it was his way to own up to what he planned against you all those years back. He wanted to make you happy by bringing your mother back into your life as a way to pay for his sins.”

She stiffened. She was still in a daze. Han Huizhong was the last name she expected to hear. She never imagined that he was looking for a way all along to make it upto her however he could.

”You should thank him that he told me about her because once I had my hands on Liao Yun, I would have killed everybody who worked for him. That includes your mother. I wouldn’t have interviewed them to know their personal circumstances and let them be alive and free. Once the Boss is caught, the gang is dead,” he said without much emotion.

Caihong choked.

”I am glad you found your mother, but I am annoyed at Mr. Han. Soo Yunru came to the picture, and now I cannot kill this bastard or his men. Thank you so much.”

She didn’t fail to notice his sarcasm at the end. Her smile faltered. “Well…how can we thank you?”

”Don’t make me compromise with the cops again. Don’t bring the cops in the picture again. Don’t even speak of cops ever again,” Jinhai smiled.

”…”
