Chapter 503 - I Think Its Worth Exchanging One Hand for You

Xu Che drove fast, and the three were in the hospital where Grandpa Lin was staying in minutes.

Lin Mu’an did not hesitate at all. He held Lu Qianqian’s hand and brought her straight to Grandpa Lin’s ward.

The butler was stunned when he saw them. Although he was informed by the two men about their failed mission, he did not expect to see Lin Mu’an in the hospital so soon.

“Young Master...”

“Xu Che, please take care of Lu Qianqian. I will come out as soon as possible.” Lin Mu’an ignored the butler and pushed open the door hard.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Lin was reading the newspaper on his bed. Seeing Lin Mu’an was injured, he said, “Is it that torturing, the marriage that I arranged for you?”

Lin Mu’an saw the fruit knife on the table and took it.

Grandpa Lin was stunned. “What are you trying to do to me?”

Lin Mu’an walked toward Grandpa Lin and said, “I know it’s the Lin family who raised me. I will never forget this. So, now, I will pay you back.” Having said that, Lin Mu’an stretched out his left hand and stabbed the knife into his hand.

Grandpa Lin’s eyes open wide with great shock.

Blood gushing out from Lin Mu’an’s hand. It was everywhere. But he did not seem to want to stop. “Is this not enough? Or you want my hand? Or all my limbs? How will you let me go? I better tell me now or I will die in front of you.”

Grandpa Lin had never thought that such a gentle person like Lin Mu’an would be so ruthless to himself.

“If you insist on forcing me to marry a woman of your choice, I will die in front of you right now. I am too lazy to waste my energy to run away from you again. Give me an answer! What do you want?”

Lin Mu’an’s eyes were red and his tone was firm. And with his hand dripping with blood, Grandpa Lin was driven up to the wall.

“Why must you hate me paving your future for you?”

“That is not paving my future for me, that is controlling my life! I don’t want to talk to you. You just tell me. You want my life or not?”

Grandpa Lin closed his eyes. He never expected Lin Mu’an would confront him in such a way.

“Didn’t you get people to beat me back then? I don’t think you will be upset with me, I should just stab myself a few more times...”

Lin Mu’an pulled out the knife and was ready to stab himself again. Finally, Grandpa Lin could not stand it anymore. “Enough...”

Lin Mu’an’s hand stopped in the middle of the air.

“You said ‘enough’. Does that mean that you will stop controlling me? Can I understand it that way?”

“Whatever you want, so be it.” The old man was too distressed that he could no longer get angry at him. “But you can’t leave the Lin family...”

“I will not embarrass you when I become a police officer. Just wait and see.” Then, Lin Mu’an threw away the fruit knife. I will make you change your opinion of me.”

Grandpa Lin looked at Lin Mu’an helplessly. How could he watch Lin Mu’an die right before his eyes? Lin Mu’an was so fired up at that moment. Grandpa Lin was scared that he might cut his main artery.

Lin Mu’an did not say anything more. He covered his wound with his hand and walked out of the ward.

Lu Qianqian’s face was as white as a paper when she saw him in that state. “What happened?”

Lin Mu’an did not answer. He hugged Lu Qianqian instead. “It’s all settled now. Mr. Xu, you can go back and report to your boss now.”

“Don’t hug me already. Let me see your hand. You should get a doctor to treat your wound first.”

Not to mention just being injured, if he could exchange one hand for his freedom, Lin Mu’an would also feel worth it.

“I’m finally free...” Lin Mu’an almost shed tears when he said this.

Sometimes, when people were forced up the cliff and there was nowhere to escape, they would be willing to give up on everything to get a glimpse of hope to survive.

Seeing the two off, the butler then quickly pushed the door open. When he saw the blood on Grandpa Lin’s bed, he was shocked. “Master!”

“This is not my blood!” Grandpa Lin took a deep breath. “I always thought this child was weak and cowardly. I thought he was just leaving the Lin family because of his ego. But today, when he held the knife in front of me and as if I wanted his life, I suddenly saw the recklessness in this child.”

“So, are you letting him go this time?”

“What else can I do? Force him to his death? I will have nothing left if I do so,” said Grandpa Lin, “He said he can become successful as a police officer. I shall see about that. As for Lu Qianqian, I will never accept her.”

“They are still young. Maybe they will get tired with each other in another two years.”

Grandpa Lin smiled bitterly. Although he had admitted defeat, he felt glad somehow. Because Lin Mu’an was a strong-willed man. If Lin Mu’an had really complied with him today, he would feel rather bored.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But right then, the youngest Uncle Lu called Grandpa Lin. “My niece has announced her engagement with your grandson. Old Lin, are you really not going to do anything about it?”

“It will depend on your ability to stop the inauguration of your niece. If you fail, that is your fate. Don’t call me ever again. We are not people in the same boat.”

Hearing Grandpa Lin’s words, the butler was relieved. Grandpa Lin had decided to let it go for real this time.

“I still have to live well to see how my grandson brings honor to my family.”

On the other hand, in the emergency department, Lu Qianqian was staring at the wounds on Lin Mu’an’s body in puzzlement. “What happened to you and your grandfather just now?”

“I made him stop interfering with my life. Otherwise, I will die in front of him.”

“It’s the first day you become my fiancé, don’t say that.” Lu Qianqian glared at him. “Do you really want your hand to be destroyed?”

“I think it’s worth exchanging one hand for you.”

“Lin Mu’an, you are really stupid, you know.” Lu Qianqian plunged into his arms. “You are mine. So, it means that your body is mine, too. I won’t let you destroy my things in future.”

“I told you I will give you a sense of security. I will be your fiancé. I will let you have a man in the Lu family.”

“You really changed a lot in these six months.” Lu Qianqian looked at Lin Mu’an’s bandaged hand. “Didn’t you admit to your fate back then?”

“I really need to thank Sheng Xiao, the big boss, for this. He shows me how a man should be. Being a man, I can do anything for you just like how he does for Xiao Qi. Although I might not be as good as him, or I might not do as much as him, I must at least try before I know where my limits are.”

Lu Qianqian smiled and kissed Lin Mu’an’s wound on his lips. “To Qiqi, Sheng Xiao is the most powerful person. But to me, you are the best.”
