Chapter 9: The Dark Lord Awakens His Killing Intent

Ye Huan, Lin Tai, and Lin Xi were utterly shocked, thinking to themselves, haven’t these two fools noticed Jin Feiyu’s expression and gaze?

At this point, no further evidence was needed—the mastermind behind the kidnapping was none other than Jin Feiyu.

“You’re the best storyteller I’ve ever met, kid. Your lies almost made me believe them!”

Startled, Jin Feiyu suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Too bad, no matter how good your story is, without proof it’s meaningless.”

Lin Tai and Lin Xi’s faces grew grave; they suddenly realized Ye Huan must produce evidence.

Without it, there would be no legal way to punish Jin Feiyu. Given Jin Feiyu’s nature, he would surely seek ruthless revenge on Ye Huan and continue plotting to abduct Lin Xi.

“Do you have evidence?” Lin Tai asked nervously.

“Do you?” Lin Xi looked at Ye Huan with hopeful eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jin Feiyu finally relaxed. The twelve thugs certainly hadn’t confessed; otherwise, Lin Xi wouldn’t be asking Ye Huan about evidence!

“Getting evidence is too easy!” Ye Huan patted Lin Xi on the backside reassuringly.

Lin Xi shuddered, almost unable to resist kicking Ye Huan out of frustration—this scoundrel was shameless, even now thinking of taking advantage of her.

Yet she held back and urged, “If you have evidence, show it now!”

Ye Huan nodded and looked at Jin Feiyu. “Jin Feiyu, I assume the messages and call records between you and the twelve thugs are still on your phone?”

Jin Feiyu’s face changed dramatically—he had forgotten to destroy such crucial evidence.

Seeing his expression, Lin Tai and Lin Xi immediately deduced that the messages and calls with the twelve thugs were indeed stored on Jin Feiyu’s phone.

If they could seize his phone, they could cement the proof of his crimes!

Lin Xi glanced at Ye Huan, thinking this scoundrel was quite impressive—so effortlessly he was about to send Jin Feiyu to prison.

Lin Tai looked at Ye Huan with relief. Although he still hadn’t confirmed Ye Huan was the person he suspected, this one incident alone was enough to prove he hadn’t misjudged him; this young man was truly exceptional!

Meanwhile, Lin Canglan and Li Meiya were stunned.

No matter how dim-witted they were, seeing Jin Feiyu’s dramatically changed expression should have opened their eyes.

Both silently cursed their own stupidity for aiding the mastermind behind their daughter’s kidnapping—utter fools beyond reason!

As for Ye Huan, the butcher, instead of focusing on his craft, he had become strangely adept at solving cases—too distracted.

“Jin Feiyu, do you have anything to say now?” Lin Tai slammed the table, standing up in anger.

---

Suddenly, Jin Feiyu pulled out his phone and smashed it violently onto the ground, exclaiming exaggeratedly, “Oops! Slipped out of my hand! Oh, my poor phone, over ten thousand yuan—wonder if it can be fixed now.”

Then, he stomped on the shattered phone mercilessly.

Ye Huan frowned, not expecting such a shameless move. This was utterly unscrupulous!

“You...” Lin Tai, Lin Xi, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya were furious. They hadn’t anticipated Jin Feiyu’s audacity to destroy his own phone.

Now, even though they knew Jin Feiyu masterminded the kidnapping, there was nothing they could do—no evidence left.

Jin Feiyu had shed his hypocritical mask, revealing a ferocious true face. Next, he would likely brazenly retaliate against Ye Huan and proceed with plans to abduct Lin Xi.

“Any other evidence?” Lin Xi looked to Ye Huan, hopeful.

Lin Tai, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya also watched Ye Huan expectantly.

“Kid, do you have any more evidence?” Jin Feiyu asked arrogantly, cocking his head.

“Yes.” Ye Huan smiled coldly.

“There’s a dashcam in Lin Xi’s car. We can check who secretly installed the tracker. Once we catch that person, we can interrogate and uncover the mastermind.”

Hearing this, Lin Tai, Lin Xi, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya were overjoyed but also scolded themselves for not thinking of it earlier.

“Ye Huan, quickly get the dashcam’s memory card!” Lin Xi handed over the car keys.

“It’s useless!” Before Ye Huan could leave, Jin Feiyu sneered, “The tracker was installed two months ago. Your dashcam’s memory would have already overwritten the footage of that installation.”

Lin Xi: “...”

Lin Tai: “...”

Lin Canglan: “...”

Li Meiya: “...”

Their hearts instantly sank.

Ye Huan’s face remained expressionless. Though he no longer held direct evidence of Jin Feiyu ordering Lin Xi’s kidnapping, he believed that Hong Luan had already extracted proof from the twelve thugs involved.

Of course, evidence or not didn’t matter—Ye Huan had made up his mind to kill Jin Feiyu, but he couldn’t act here; he didn’t want to frighten the Lin family.

---

“Hahaha—hahaha...” Jin Feiyu laughed wildly, recklessly, and arrogantly, clutching his belly and squatting on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes.

After a while, he stood, surveying Ye Huan and the Lin family with a smug grin.

“That’s right—I sent those men to kidnap Lin Xi. What can you do about it? Sue me? Call the cops? You have no evidence…”

Lin Xi, Lin Tai, Lin Canglan, and Li Meiya were livid.

Just then, a police officer pushed open the door, immediately locking eyes on Jin Feiyu with a blank expression.

“Jin Feiyu, you are suspected of kidnapping, murder, and dozens of other crimes. You must come with us immediately for investigation.”

Jin Feiyu’s laughter abruptly stopped, his smug grin frozen.

The slap in the face came too quickly!

Ye Huan smiled, glancing at the crowd of police outside, thinking Hong Luan’s efficiency was impressive.

Lin Xi and Lin Tai also smiled. Judging by the police’s words, Jin Feiyu would probably never leave prison alive—maybe even face the death penalty.

Lin Canglan and Li Meiya, however, were not amused; instead, they grew anxious. With Jin Feiyu arrested here, would the Jin family take revenge on the Lin family?

“Shouldn’t you be thanking me?” Lin Xi said proudly as the police took away Jin Feiyu and his thugs.

“Why thank you?” Ye Huan asked, puzzled.

“If I hadn’t called the police, they wouldn’t have arrested those twelve armed thugs trying to kidnap me, wouldn’t have extracted evidence against Jin Feiyu, and the cops wouldn’t have arrived in time to catch him. If the police hadn’t come quickly, you’d have been beaten badly by Jin Feiyu and his men. Don’t you think you should thank me?”

Lin Xi explained thoroughly, expecting Ye Huan’s gratitude.

Ye Huan wanted to tell her that if he hadn’t come to Peng City, Hong Luan wouldn’t have led the team tracking him, and those twelve armed thugs wouldn’t have been caught.

Although Lin Xi reported to the police, by the time they arrived, the thugs might have long fled.

Even if the police arrived in time to arrest the thugs, little evidence might have been gleaned.

But none of this could be told to Lin Xi!

“Thank you,” Ye Huan said, letting Lin Xi’s happiness stand.

“Just a verbal thank you?” Lin Xi was dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Ye Huan cupped Lin Xi’s delicate face in his hands and pressed a fierce kiss upon her rosy lips.

“Is this better?”
