Chapter 3: Chaos (2)

The man's voice was like a sharp weapon passing by cast iron. Every sound was both harsh and hoarse, which was so unbearable. Yang Lin couldn't help but raise his hand to block his ears. At this moment, this sound brought him a sharp pain like a knife cutting his heart. No! The deep despair made him shake his head madly. Could it be that everything was really at the end of his life?! Is Yang Lin really going to finish it?! The most terrifying thing is that it may also drag down his poor mother...

"Mom..." Yang Lin burst into tears. The person opposite sighed and shook his head, "Look, you are also in your thirties, you know that calling you mother is useless! Okay, today is New Year's Eve, I have spent too much time with you, and I don't want to continue to spend endless time with you. Tell me, what are you planning to do?!"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I'm not telling you very clearly, you have chosen two ways. First, pay off all the gambling money you owe over the past year, and we will immediately go our separate ways. Second, if you don't plan to pay back the money, then do that thing as I told you. As long as you do it successfully, you will naturally enjoy endless wealth and glory, and my gambling debts will be written off together!"

Yang Lin lamented: "You know I can't choose the first one. I'm penniless. Even the silver my mother just gave me lost to you." The man said easily: "Then choose the second one. I've told you a long time ago, this is the wisest choice."

Yang Lin said with fear, "But, but I just can't understand why you asked me to do that? What benefits can you get if you do this?!" The man sneered: "You think so much! You are a scholar after all. Unfortunately, you don't think about what you should think the most, just think about something useless! You don't have to worry about what I can get, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Now if you don't have other choices, you will do what I say honestly. You don't have to worry about the rest!"

Yang Lin didn't say anything. He lowered his head and his teeth were chewing. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and looked up and said, "Okay, I can do that. But, I have a condition." "What condition?"

Yang Lin stared at his confused eyes and said word by word: "I can do what you say. But you must return that thing to me. My mother hasn't discovered that I have stole it yet. As long as I take it home, I will set off to Shendu immediately. Don't worry, I will do everything as you told me!" After saying that, he concentrated and held his breath, waiting for the other party's answer as if he was waiting for a judgment.

The person opposite was silent for a while, looking at Yang Lin's desperate expression with interest, suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I've been at the end of my life, and I'm really funny. Your mother has worked hard to raise your son like her, and I'm not worth it for her!" "You!" Yang Lin's face changed drastically, his fists tightened tighter, and the confusion in his eyes had been replaced by deep hatred. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "You demon! It was you who lured me on this road, and it was you who set up a plan step by step that made me fall into the game and it was you who couldn't extricate myself. Don't think I don't know how many people you have harmed in this gambling den. If you force people too much, I will go to the government to report you!"

The man shook his head repeatedly and said, "Will you not be afraid of your old mother's heartbroken? She is still looking forward to the winning streak of her son, the toad palace, and one day she will help her to honor her family and honor her ancestors." Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I will confess to my mother. I will also swear to her that she will change her mind from now on. She will believe me, and she will forgive me!"

The man was amused again and said in a relaxed tone: "What a pity, whenever I hand over that thing out, the government knew that it was your mother who made it out of the palace, and your mother would be beheaded at that time. She wanted to forgive you, and there was no chance." This finally made Yang Lin completely collapse. He knelt in front of the other party on both knees, grabbed the other party's sleeve with trembling hands, and begged incoherently: "No, no, no, you, you must not hand over that thing, it will kill my mother, and she will kill her! Okay, okay, I promise you, I promise you everything, everything will do as you told me, everything!" He screamed, burying his head and crying.

The man opposite pulled Yang Lin's hand off his body in disgust and cursed: "Cry, even if you cry to death, no one will come to save you in this place! If you want to understand something, why is it so hard! Let me tell you that I sent someone to the capital half a month ago. If you really want to come back, you can only set off to Luoyang immediately and do what I said. If you want to save you and your mother, this is your only chance!"

Yang Lin continued to lie on the ground and cried. The man took out a note from his sleeve, threw it in front of Yang Lin, and said coldly: "It's this address. You can go to Luoyang to find him. He will tell you what to do next. In short, don't be lucky, this is your only way to live!" After saying that, he stood up and brushed his sleeves.

Yang Lin lay on the ground for a while. When the man's footsteps disappeared, he suddenly jumped up, picked up the note in front of him and put it in his arms. He hurriedly looked around, reached out to wipe away the tears, and ran out of the Great Hall quickly. Outdoors, the weeds were covered with layers of snow, and Yang Lin bent down and tried his best to distinguish the footprints on the snow. Soon, he found the right direction and followed a fresh footprint.
