Chapter 191: Becoming a Eunuch
Lin Chang glanced at Lin Qingwan and coldly replied, “Isn’t he supposed to have two anime shows awaiting approval? Let’s use our connections to make sure his anime doesn’t pass the review!”
Only after passing the review can the anime be released.
Producing an anime requires a significant amount of capital. If it doesn’t pass, all investments will go down the drain, resulting in heavy losses.
“Dad,” Lin Qingwan frowned, “If Xiao Xuan finds out this is what you’ve done, he might hate us even more.”
“Will not doing anything make him stop hating?” Lin Chang said coldly.
“Dad…” Lin Qingwan wanted to persuade further, but Lin Chang raised his hand to cut her off.
“Wan’er, I know what you’re thinking. You still have feelings for Xiao Xuan, hoping he’ll return to the Lin family. And isn’t that what Dad wants too?”
Lin Chang sighed, “But Wan’er, you’ve seen how Brother Lin Xuan treats us; he clearly doesn’t want to come back.”
Lin Qingwan fell silent.
Indeed, Xiao Xuan had the chance to return, but he just didn’t want to come back home.
“So, Wan’er, Dad wants to push him a bit, making him come back on his own.” Lin Chang seriously said, “Once he returns and gets engaged to Shen Qianqian, then the Shen Family Group will be Ah Xuan’s. Won’t that be better than the current development?”
The frown on Lin Qingwan’s face gradually eased.
Dad was right. Returning to the Lin family was already the best choice for Xiao Xuan.
The company founded by Xiao Xuan would face the risk of bankruptcy, and no matter how capable he was, it would be hard for him to surpass the Shen Family Group.
Might as well marry Shen Qianqian and take control of the Shen Family Group in the future.
“Alright.” Lin Qingwan nodded, “Dad, I’ll follow your instructions and arrange everything now.”
Lin Chang also instructed, “Wan’er, go call Li to my study. I have something to tell him.”
“Xiaoli went out to clear his mind and hasn’t returned yet,” Lin Qingwan answered.
“Haven’t returned yet?” Lin Chang frowned deeply, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was already half past eleven. The business banquet ended one and a half hours ago. Why hasn’t he returned yet?
A sense of unease rose in Lin Chang’s heart.
“Wan’er, call him and tell him to come back now,” Lin Chang said.
“Alright.”
Lin Qingwan nodded, took out her phone, and dialed Lin Li’s number.
[Sorry, the user you called has enabled SMS reminder function. Please try again later.]
The cold mechanical female voice came from the phone.
Lin Qingwan frowned deeply.
“Dad, Xiaoli’s phone is turned off. He didn’t answer.”
“Turned off?” Lin Chang frowned.
How could Li’s phone be turned off?
Li has never turned off his phone since he grew up.
“Dad, don’t worry. Li is an adult, nothing will happen to him. Maybe his phone ran out of battery, and he went out with friends,” Lin Qingwan said.
“That’s true.” Lin Chang nodded.
He continued to think about strategies against the Sky Canopy Group and stopped worrying about Lin Li.
At this moment.
Lin Li was blindfolded, and those men in black suits brought him into a dim basement.
There were quite a few people locked up here.
The surrounding cries of pain and begging made him shiver all over.
“Get in.” Lin Li was thrown into a room.
His blindfold was removed.
This… This…
Looking around, everything seemed familiar to Lin Li. He felt like he’d been here before…
Suddenly,
A scene flashed through his mind – he was brutally executed, dead, and his corpse was fed to a tiger as food…
The image in his mind made Lin Li even more terrified.
“Bang—”
Lin Li’s knees hit the ground heavily as he begged in a trembling voice, “What do you want? Money? Or something else? As long as I can manage, I’ll satisfy you. Please let me go.”
“Master Lin, keep your filthy money in your pocket. We’re not short of cash,” Wang Hao smirked.
He lit a cigarette.
“Go tie him up.”
“Yes.”
Several subordinates immediately tied Lin Li’s hands and feet to a wooden frame, leaving him in a spread-eagle position.
“Brother Wang, should we bring the ‘root-cutting water’ and make him drink it?” A subordinate flexed his muscles.
He also wanted to see what the root-cutting water could do.
“Not yet, torture him properly first,” Wang Hao coldly smiled, “The boss ordered us to make him wish he were dead.”
He almost forgot.
It wasn’t time to hang him up yet, and they had to let him down again, truly troublesome.
“Let him go, and prepare the finger clamps,” Wang Hao loudly commanded.
Finger clamps?
Lin Li widened his eyes.
Jiang Shuqin liked watching TV dramas. Once, he saw finger clamps in a period drama.
All ten fingers being clamped together looked absolutely terrifying.
“No!” Lin Li trembled and said, “You can’t do this to me! If you let me go now, I’ll pretend nothing happened, and I won’t send anyone to arrest you!”
“Send someone to arrest us? Master Lin, what kind of thing are you? Do you think you can catch us?” Wang Hao sat on a chair, looking at him mockingly.
This person was instructed by the boss to deal with, and he must let him taste the consequences of offending the boss.
Soon.
A finger clamp was brought up. Lin Li’s hands were pressed down, and his ten fingers were forced into the clamp.
As Wang Hao signaled,
Two subordinates tightened the ropes of the finger clamp forcefully, pulling the boards between the fingers together.
An excruciating pain shot through Lin Li’s senses.
“Aaaaah—” Lin Li screamed in agony, veins bulging on his forehead and neck.
The two subordinates kept pulling the ropes on both sides.
Lin Li almost passed out from the pain.
Wang Hao signaled again.
The two subordinates loosened the finger clamp.
Lin Li’s fingers were shaking uncontrollably, completely bruised and filled with blood.
Before he could catch his breath,
“Continue, stab his fingers with needles,” Wang Hao ordered again.
“Yes.”
Lin Li’s fingers were grabbed again, and needles as thin as toothpicks pierced into the center of his fingertips.
“Aaaaah—” Another scream of pain.
By the time the third finger was stabbed, Lin Li couldn’t bear the pain anymore and passed out.
“Mix chili, salt, and ice water to wake him up,” Wang Hao crossed his legs and said.
“Splash.”
A basin full of icy water mixed with salt and chili was poured over Lin Li’s head.
Lin Li’s wounds burned fiercely.
At this moment, his face was deathly pale.
It hurt so much, really unbearable.
He wanted to chop off both hands of his.
Lying on the ground,
Wang Hao walked up to him and squatted down, “Does it hurt, huh?”
“Master Lin, this is just the appetizer. Enjoy yourself for the next few days,” Wang Hao smiled sweetly.
Right now, it was physical torture.
The final drink of ‘root-cutting water’ would be mental torture.
The root-cutting water, as its name suggests,
Would slowly rot away a part and eventually fall off, turning him into a complete eunuch.
Which man could endure becoming a eunuch?
Moreover, it would cause infertility.
Even IVF wouldn’t work.
“Who are you? Was Brother Lin Xuan who sent you?” Lin Li gritted his teeth and asked.
“Master Lin, you still care about these things?” Wang Hao smiled faintly, “You should focus on yourself instead.”
“Someone, strip him naked!”
Several subordinates brought in a brazier filled with fiery red charcoal.
