Chapter 175: Become Hostage

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although the Shao family did not have any conclusive evidence, it seemed that Lin Bai was indeed the murderer. Initially, they thought that they could execute Lin Bai on the spot today so that they could avenge Shao Yuchen. Yet, this event occurred out of nowhere.

This Lin Bai is really strange. Previously, when he was troubled by the He family, he was protected by someone. Now that his identity has been exposed, the City Lords Estate appears. Isnt his luck a little too good?

The other elders were discussing among themselves. The third elder snorted and said, So what if hes lucky? If we really prove that hes the murderer of the third young master, even if the City Lord personally appears, he wont be able to protect him!

Im just a little worried. What if he uses the City Lords Estates convenience to escape?

Hearing this, Shao Fengs eyes immediately revealed an incomparably ruthless expression. He doesnt have the guts to run. So many senior brothers and sisters are in my hands. As long as he dares to run, Ill let all of them die together with my son!

Bai He, Liao Fanyu, and the others still did not know what had happened in the hall. They said worriedly, What should we do? If senior brother Lin is brought there by them, will he meet with any mishaps?

The person beside him comforted him. He should be fine for a while. Didnt they say that the people from the City Lords Estate seemed to be looking for senior brother Lin? With them around, I think the Shao family will not act rashly.

Liao Fanyus injuries had recovered a lot after he ate the medicinal pills to treat his injuries. Even so, his face was still a little pale. He said weakly, Im afraid that the Shao family will act rashly.

We cant say for sure what Shao Feng will do when hes in a rage. From his actions just now, we can see that hes taking his anger out on us.

A few disciples were accidentally injured by Shao Feng. Someones shoulder was pierced with a bloody hole. It could be seen that Shao Feng had struck heavily.

Do you think that senior brother Lin really killed Shao Yuchen? If thats the case, then what should we do?

Although most of the people respected Lin Bai very much, there were quite a number of people who were afraid of death. They looked terrified, and there was a hint of resentment in their tones.

Senior brother Lin is really too much. How did he get involved in this? Now, he has caused us to be implicated. If this matter can not be resolved, then we will all suffer as well.

One should take responsibility for ones actions. If senior brother Lin really did it, then he should just admit it directly. There are so many of us. We cant just die with him.

Thats right. The Shao family head only wants the real murderer. If senior brother Lin admits his crimes, then there shouldnt be anything done to us.

A few people spoke one after another. How could the others not understand their thoughts? Luo Youlin, who had previously received Lin Bais favor, could not help it.

You bunch of ungrateful things. Have you forgotten how senior brother Lin saved all of you previously! Now that theres danger, youre thinking of pushing senior brother Lin out so that you can protect yourselves?

Those few people were suddenly struck by their thoughts, and their expressions were a little embarrassed. We didnt mean that either. Its just that the Shao family took out evidence and said with certainty that senior brother Lin was the murderer. Were also thinking of the big picture and thinking for everyone.

Luo Youlin did not hold back and said, Youre putting it in a grand way. I think youre all selfish and want to distance yourselves from him! What kind of evidence did the Shao family take out? First, no one saw senior brother Lin kill the young master with his own eyes. Second, what can a wooden sword prove?

The Shao family doesnt have enough evidence. If they want to convict senior brother Lin, its fine if you dont help him think of a way, but you actually directly convict senior brother Lin. You want him face the Shao familys anger so that you can retreat unscathed.

Those few people lowered their heads when they heard this. Their faces turned green and white like a color palette.

If I were you, I would keep quiet. Dont let me hear such ungrateful words again. After Luo Youlin said that, he walked to the side and distanced himself from those few people as if there was something dirty there.

Although they were not convinced, they could not say anything. They only grumbled, Were just casually complaining. Why are you being so unreasonable?

At this moment, Shao Feng came back with the elders. Seeing that he did not say anything and Lin Bai did not come back with him, Bai He and the others could not help but guess.

Before they could ask, Shao Feng sneered, Lin Bai is really lucky. With the City Lords Estate protecting him, he has already been brought to the City Lords Estate.

Liao Fanyu, Luo Youlin, and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, dont be too happy too early. He cant hide forever. The City Lords Estate wont protect him forever. When the time comes, Ill settle the score with him properly.

Bai He knew that no matter what they said now, Shao Feng would probably not listen to them, he could only say, Master Shao, I feel that this matter might really be a misunderstanding. The evidence in your hands is not enough to prove anything. Why dont you take this opportunity to investigate properly?

You dont have to tell me! We know! Shao Feng glanced at him coldly. But lets be clear. During this time, you guys stay here and dont go anywhere. Otherwise, dont blame me for being impolite.

The implication was that he wanted to use them as hostages to threaten Lin Bai.

With you guys are here, theres no doubt Lin Bai will come back?

Bai He and the others expressions changed. Wasnt this a disguised form of imprisonment? They quickly said, Master Shao, you have no right to imprison our freedom.

I dont have the right? Am I to let you all escape one by one so that Lin Bai will have nothing to worry about from now on? Do you really think Im a fool?

Shao Feng instructed his disciples to strictly guard Bai He. Other than that, there were also elders who would be guarding the courtyard. The purpose was to prevent them from escaping.

You guys better pray for yourselves. If Lin Bai comes back, you guys will naturally be safe. If Lin Bai doesnt come back, hehe

Shao Feng smiled coldly. The viciousness in his eyes was not concealed at all.. He said in a low voice, Then all of you can go and accompany my son.
