Revenge Sevenfold - Chapter 190 Capturing Hui Jinhai

Shaanxi Province, Xi'an City.

Hui Jinhai took off down the alley to his right, holding his bleeding arm. He wove through the city's narrow back alleys and forgotten paths, desperately trying to be inconspicuous and lose their pursuit.

He burst into daylight, pausing to check both directions before blending into the crowd and ducking into a subway entrance. Shouts and warnings echoed through the streets behind him as the sound of their footsteps drew closer.

Hui Jinhai felt his heart racing and ran into the platform, bumping into people and causing them to be alarmed. He staggered sideways and hid behind a pillar, spotting the men's room in the distance. Without hesitation, Hui Jinhai walked towards it.

He shoved his coat into the garbage can and took off his bloodied shirt. He ripped off a strip from the hem and used it to bandage the wound on his right arm.

"What—?"

A man came in, taking a step back as he saw the half-naked Hui Jinhai. But Hui Jinhai saw his chance and knocked him out with a fierce punch. He undressed the man quickly and wore his shirt before locking him inside an empty stall. Luckily, there was no one else in the bathroom aside from him.

Hui Jinhai also stole the man's briefcase and his cap. He opened the faucet and wet his hair, slicking it back behind his ears. After wearing the cap, he looked nearly unrecognizable from his previous appearance.

He glanced at himself in the mirror. His eyes were red, his expression ugly.

"Lu Shen, just wait for me, you bastard."

Hui Jinhai then walked out of the bathroom, maintaining a casual air. He spotted his pursuers mixing in the crowd and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't believe that the triad had booted him out without hesitation. His leader even mandated a kill on sight order for him. Was that bastard really that powerful?

Hui Jinhai presented the train ticket he took out from the front pocket of that man's pants to the ticket clerk. His pursuers were still searching for him in the platform when Hui Jinhai left Xi'an City and was on his way to Beijing.

…

Hui Yin diligently watered the flowers she had planted when she was still alive in the sunroom.

Chrysanthemums, daffodils, roses, and peonies…all of them brought spots of different colors that lifted up her somber mood. Hui Yin looked at the phone Lu Shen had given her and deeply sighed. She could only return back to the present once Hui Jinhai was captured.

She already asked Butler Wu to buy her a pair of handcuffs in preparation for capturing him. But Hui Yin still had no idea how to tell Lu Shen to search for her brother. She didn't have any connections and resources, so she could only rely on him. Since Wen Zedong was still unconscious, it was the best time to ask for Lu Shen's help. Once Wen Zedong woke up, he might tell Lu Shen about Hui Jinhai's identity. It would be too late by then. Hui Yin didn't know if she could persuade Lu Shen not to kill Hui Jinhai once he knew the truth.

A gentle knock broke Hui Yin's reverie. She looked up and saw the slightly chubby girl who was friendly to her before.

"Huian, Butler Wu ordered me to tell you that it's time for lunch."

"Ah." Hui Yin got up and put down the watering can. "I'll go now."

She picked up her phone and followed the maid as they went back to the dining room. She was abashed to see that she would be the only one eating on the large oak table that could easily seat twenty people.

Looking up at Butler Wu who was pulling out her chair, Hui Yin took two steps back and vigorously shook her head.

"Butler Wu, I'll just eat together with the maids in the other dining room…"

"That won't do, Huian! The boss wouldn't be happy if you do that!" The friendly maid dragged Hui Yin over to her seat and pushed her down. Hui Yin didn't expect that the young maid would have so much strength.

She wrinkled her eyebrows. "It's my business where I eat, so why do you need to bring Lu Shen into the conversation…"

"Aaaaah!" The friendly maid suddenly squealed, cupping her cheeks with her hands. "I can't believe you're calling boss by his name! Huian, is Meng Guang really telling the truth? It's the truth, isn't it? Please tell me it's the truth!"

"What truth?" Hui Yin was confused.

What is this silly girl talking about?

"That the boss is in love with you, of course!" The friendly maid exclaimed with great relish.

"…" Hui Yin was struck speechless by her statement.

Old Meng Guang was certainly scary. By spreading rumors like this, isn't it just a roundabout way of calling Lu Shen a lolicon?

"You're silent! Silence means yes, doesn't it? So Meng Guang was telling the truth!"

"…"

Alright, whatever. Hui Yin was too tired to argue with her.

If they wanted to call Lu Shen a lolicon, it was none of her business. At least they didn't spread rumors that she was in love with him too.
