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 Lord's Estate appears. Isn't his luck a little too good?”

The other elders were discussing among themselves. The third elder snorted and said, “So what if he's lucky? If we really prove that he's the murderer of the third young master, even if the City Lord personally appears, he won't be able to protect him!”

“I'm just a little worried. What if he uses the City Lord's Estate's convenience to escape?”

Hearing this, Shao Feng's eyes immediately revealed an incomparably ruthless expression. “He doesn't have the guts to run. So many senior brothers and sisters are in my hands. As long as he dares to run, I'll 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. Didn't they say that the people from the City Lord's Estate seemed to be looking for senior brother Lin? With them around, I think the Shao family will not act rashly.”

Liao Fanyu's 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, “I'm afraid that the Shao family will act rashly.”

“We can't say for sure what Shao Feng will do when he's in a rage. From his actions just now, we can see that he's taking his anger out on us.”

A few disciples were accidentally injured by Shao Feng. Someone's 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 that's 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 one's actions. If senior brother Lin really did it, then he should just admit it directly. There are so many of us. We can't just die with him.”

“That's right. The Shao family head only wants the real murderer. If senior brother Lin admits his crimes, then there shouldn't 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 Bai's favor, could not help it.

“You bunch of ungrateful things. Have you forgotten how senior brother Lin saved all of you previously! Now that there's danger, you're 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 didn't mean that either. It's just that the Shao family took out evidence and said with certainty that senior brother Lin was the murderer. We're also thinking of the big picture and thinking for everyone.”

Luo Youlin did not hold back and said, “You're putting it in a grand way. I think you're 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 doesn't have enough evidence. If they want to convict senior brother Lin, it's fine if you don't help him think of a way, but you actually directly convict senior brother Lin. You want him face the Shao family's 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. Don't 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, “We're 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 Lord's Estate protecting him, he has already been brought to the City Lord's Estate.”

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

“However, don't be too happy too early. He can't hide forever. The City Lord's Estate won't protect him forever. When the time comes, I'll 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 don't you take this opportunity to investigate properly?”

“You don't have to tell me! We know!” Shao Feng glanced at him coldly. “But let's be clear. During this time, you guys stay here and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, don't 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, there's no doubt Lin Bai will come back?”

Bai He and the others' expressions changed. Wasn't this a disguised form of imprisonment? They quickly said, “Master Shao, you have no right to imprison our freedom.”

“I don't 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 I'm 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 doesn't 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.”
