Chapter 350: The Sly Old Fox

Translator: Lonelytree 

As soon as Lin Laosan’s words came out, the courtyard fell silent. A few villagers who were of the same generation as Lin Yiwei came in. Lin Yiwei invited them in to be witnesses.

When they heard Lin Laosan’s question, they were slightly stunned.

Lin Yizheng, Lin Yiwei’s friend, asked in surprise, “Laosan, didn’t you hear it?”

Lin Laosan was even more confused. He asked, “Hear what?” Then, with a hint of anger on his face, he asked, “what are you trying to say?”

Lin Laosan didn’t hear anyone’s reply. Instead, Lin Daniu’s face was pale. He was extremely nervous. Suddenly, he shouted at them in fear, “you’re all framing me. Lin Minqing’s accident has nothing to do with me.”

“We have to believe you because you said it?!” Lin Mingliang sneered at Lin Daniu, who was lying on the ground.

Then Lin Mingliang turned his head to Lin Laosan. Lin Mingliang was a straightforward person and would not jump around in circles. “Hmph, Lin Laosan, don’t play dumb. Three years ago, when my brother got into an accident, were you the one behind it? Tell me!”

Lin Mingliang’s words made Lin Laosan’s heart skip a beat. The panic on his face and in his eyes appeared for a moment before disappearing but it didn’t escape the notice of the smart people there.

Lin Laosan tried his best to pretend to be calm as he said in surprise and anger, “Lin Mingliang, don’t you slander me! Don’t think that just because you’re the chief’s son, you can say anything you want! I know you like to misuse your power!”

Lin Mingliang was so angry at Lin Laosan’s shamelessness that he retorted with gritted teeth. “When have I misused any power?”

Lin Laosan didn’t want to deal with a reckless man like Lin Mingliang. He questioned Lin Yiwei angrily, “This is ridiculous! How can you allow a junior to insult me?” Don’t think that just because you’re the chief of our village, I’m afraid of you and will let you do whatever you want. You’re throwing the blame on me and trying to frame me as you please. If that’s really the case, are there still laws in this world?”

He spoke very loudly, almost roaring.

The door to the courtyard was not closed, so the villagers were all squeezed at the door to listen. Lin Laosan’s attempt to bring up the law made many turn up their noses in disdain. It was quite funny for a criminal to use the law to defend themselves. How did they not figure out Lin Laosan was such a fool before? But then again, if the village chief knew that Lin Laosan was the culprit behind his son’s accident, why hadn’t he thrown Lin Laosan’s family into prison already?

At that moment, there was a series of claps in the courtyard. When Lin Laosan saw where the claps came from, his eyeswere filled with anger. He looked at Lin Yuelan angrily. If looks could kill, he would have killed Lin Yuelan many times over.

Lin Yuelan wasn’t afraid of his murderous look at all. Her face was full of sarcasm, and she looked at Lin Laosan with disdain. Her cold voice was very loud. Everyone could hear it clearly. “So Elder San does know that there are laws in this world. When you attempted to commit murders, where were the laws in your eyes?” Lin Yuelan stressed the ‘s’ in murders.

Lin Yuelan was referencing two attempted murders, the first was her own, and the second was Lin Mingqing’s.

The others heard the double meaning, but Lin Laosan only thought that Lin Yuelan was seeking an explanation. Lin Laosan countered without any guilt, “You’re a jinx. Keeping you alive will bring tragedy to the Lin Family Village. I was helping to keep the village safe. What law did I break?” He basically admitted that he wanted to kill Lin Yuelan three years ago.

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard what Lin Laosan said.
