not a decent stand-in

Lin Jincheng has lost his mind, his hands are getting stronger and stronger, and his face is grim.

"Want to die? It's not that cheap! I want to watch your family lose everything, live on meagerly, and torture you slowly, so that you can taste the feeling of being deceived and looked down upon..."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Lin Shanshan heard the sound coming down from upstairs, and rushed to save her mother.

At this moment, Lin Jincheng was completely different from other people in peacetime, which made her very scared.

Lin Shanshan's whole body was trembling. She never imagined that her usually taciturn father would suddenly become so crazy.

"Go away!" Lin Jincheng pushed her away and shouted, "I don't have a daughter like you!"

"Dad... what are you talking about?" Lin Shanshan burst into tears, but there was nothing she could do.

"Shanshan... Hurry up, let's go..." Xiang Huailin almost collapsed, she was afraid that Lin Jincheng would harm Lin Shanshan, so she begged helplessly, "You, kill me, let Shanshan go!"

"Kill you? Do you think I dare not?" Lin Jincheng laughed with a distorted face, "The only one in your Xiang family who can fight with me is Xiang Yindong. I thought that killing him first would torture you slowly. Who knew, that guy was so lucky, he didn't die!"

"You...Dad, you did the kidnapping of your eldest cousin..." Lin Shanshan couldn't believe her ears.

"Kidnapping? Huh!" Lin Jincheng turned to look at her, "I asked those guys to kill him directly. Who knows, when I heard that he was very valuable, Emmons and his accomplices started fighting among themselves and wanted to kidnap him to Xiang Zhenghai. Blackmail. Emmons called me and said that they took people to the mountains and hid them, and then they couldn't be contacted again...I only found out later that they encountered a landslide on the mountain and none of them came back alive!"

"It's not true, it's not true!" Lin Shanshan didn't expect that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, and she fell into panic.

Lin Jincheng let go of Xiang Huailin, who had lost her resistance, and approached Lin Shanshan instead.

"... Shanshan... run!"

Xiang Huailin fell on the floor, and a faint voice came.

Lin Shanshan's eyes were empty, and she didn't want to run away at all. Fear made her demented.

She muttered, "...don't, Dad...don't!"

Lin Jincheng looked at her with a sneer, and approached her step by step: "It's because of you, a bastard, that I have been wearing a green hat for so many years. You don't deserve to be called my dad at all! I only have one child, and before he was born, he was called by you guys. The executioner is dead, and all of you will pay for his life!"

"Shanshan! Open the door, Shanshan!"

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Lin Shanshan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the voice.

She turned around in a panic and went to open the door. Lin Jincheng wanted to come up to stop her, but the people outside the door had already rushed in first.

"Zhongming!" Lin Shanshan tightly grasped Qi Zhongming's chest, and said with tears all over her face, "I... my father is crazy, please save... help my mother!"

Qi Zhongming patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, I'll take you away!"

Lin Jincheng stood aside and looked at them with a sneer still on the corner of his mouth.

Qi Zhongming didn't seem surprised by what happened in front of him. While comforting Lin Shanshan, he negotiated with Lin Jincheng: "Boss Lin, you have no chance of winning now, so you might as well stop!"

Lin Jincheng smiled and said: "Hahaha, who do you think you are? You are just a dog I raised, why should you command me?"

"You promised me that if I help you, you won't stop me from being with Shanshan anymore!"

"You also believe this kind of words? Why, do you really like this evil seed?"

"What do you mean, what are you talking about?"

Lin Shanshan left Qi Zhongming's arms suddenly, threw herself to Xiang Huailin's side, and stared at Qi Zhongming's eyes.

"Shanshan!" Qi Zhongming wanted to go to help her, but she picked up the fruit knife on the ground, waved it and shouted, "Don't come here! Tell me clearly!"

Lin Shanshan had never been so hysterical, her expression almost collapsed.

Qi Zhongming had no choice but to calm her emotions and said, "Shanshan, don't get excited, it's all my fault! I'm just the owner of a small company, and I haven't made much progress. It was your father, and it was Lin Jincheng who found me. Our company's huge agency business...he, he wants me to get close to you, make you fall in love with me, and then...and then abandon you..."

"Why? What the hell is this for?"

Seeing that Lin Shanshan had collapsed, Lin Jincheng smiled even more presumptuously: "Why? You have to ask carefully, your 'gentle and kind' mother, she gave birth to you, a bastard with a married man, so why did you bring me here? be made a scapegoat?"

"No, not really, I am your daughter!"

Lin Shanshan shook her head, looked at Lin Jincheng with tears streaming down her face, and only hoped that everything was a lie when he was crazy.

"You are not!" Lin Jincheng yelled, "You are a villain! It is the biggest shame of my life, Lin Jincheng!"

Lin Jincheng had no sympathy, he had waited for this moment for too long, and he wanted to make everyone who humiliated him pay the price.

Lin Shanshan almost passed out from crying, but Xiang Huailin had already passed out by this time.

Lin Jincheng wanted to step forward to restrain her, but Qi Zhongming was already one step ahead, snatching the knife from Lin Shanshan's hand and holding her in his arms.

At this time, the siren sounded outside the door, and the noisy crowd began to pat the door of the villa.

"Qi, you dare to call the police?"

Lin Jincheng rushed into the room and took out the meth that he had hidden under the bed.

Lin Shanshan was crying so hard that she had no strength to resist at all, Qi Zhongming helped her up, patted her face, and shouted: "Shanshan, Shanshan, wake up, I will take you away!"

"Hmph, it seems that you have real feelings for this bitch?" Lin Jincheng put the gun on the hall, his face was full of coldness.

Qi Zhongming protected Lin Shanshan, and begged: "Boss Lin, just treat it as my reward for helping you for so long. I beg you to let their mother and daughter go. After all, for more than 20 years, Shanshan has always regarded you as her biological father!"

"I dare not be that!"

Lin Jincheng walked to the window, looked at the policemen and onlookers gathered at the door, and said fiercely, "It's a big deal that we all die together!"

"Boss Lin, I advise you not to do stupid things..."

"To shut up!"

Lin Jincheng walked around to the backyard of the house, but he didn't find anyone, so he asked, "How did you get in just now?"

"Shanshan gave me the key to the back door..."

"Hmph, this bitch is as flirtatious as her mother!" Lin Jincheng pointed a gun at Qi Zhongming, grabbed Lin Shanshan, and pointed to Xiang Huailin, "Take her and follow me!"

Lin Jincheng dragged Lin Shanshan out, trying to escape through the garden behind the house and through the back door.

But Lin Shanshan had lost consciousness and it was not easy to procrastinate, so he had no choice but to give up the original plan, leaving Xiang Huailin behind, and let Qi Zhongming hold Lin Shanshan hostage at his gunpoint and run away together.

The police outside were broadcasting through loudspeakers: "You are surrounded, quickly surrender!"

Lin Jincheng turned a deaf ear and ran out from the backyard of the villa with two hostages.

The police broadcasted for a long time, but no one answered. They were discussing whether to break into the door, and some scouts discovered their whereabouts.

Lin Jincheng pointed a gun at Qi Zhongming's head, and ran to the lake from the path behind the villa's back door.

The heavily armed special police quickly chased after him.

Lin Jincheng was forced to the grove by the lake, hid behind the bushes, and observed the police.

Qi Zhongming held Lin Shanshan firmly in his arms, looked around, and was ready to escape at any moment.

The police surrounded the grove and continued to broadcast: "Listen, people inside, you are surrounded, quickly surrender!"

Lin Jincheng didn't expect to fall into such a situation, so he took his anger out on Lin Shanshan, slapped her on the face, and shouted: "You bastard, just like your mother, is a villain!"

Qi Zhongming wanted to protect Lin Shanshan, so he pushed Lin Jincheng twice. He was young and strong, so he pushed Lin Jincheng into a tree and hit his head.

Seeing that it was not too late, Qi Zhongming led Lin Shanshan and jumped off a nearby flood ditch.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jincheng fired a shot and hit him in the arm.

The police outside the forest heard the gunshots and rushed in quickly. Lin Jincheng had no choice but to give up the hostages and jumped into the lake beside him.

The police rushed to the woods, rescued Qi Zhongming and Lin Shanshan from the ditch, and quickly sent them to the hospital.

And Xiang Huailin had been rescued by the police earlier and sent to the same nearby hospital.

When Xiang Yindong arrived, everyone was out of danger.

Qi Zhongming was shot in the arm and was still being treated. Xiang Huailin had a heart attack and fell into a coma, but the doctor said it was just an irritation and nothing serious.

Lin Shanshan has woken up, but she still hasn't recovered from the shock, sitting on the hospital bed without saying a word.

After Xiang Yindong checked on his aunt's condition, he opened the door of Lin Shanshan's ward.

She was sitting on the hospital bed at the moment, staring blankly at the distant scenery without saying a word.

Outside this private hospital, there is a large artificial lake, which is somewhat similar to the lake next to the Lin family villa.

Xiang Yindong stood beside her, but she didn't respond at all, her eyes were blank.

"Silly girl, what are you looking at, why don't you take a good rest?" Xiang Yindong reached out and touched the top of her head.

Lin Shanshan didn't answer, she still looked out of the window and said after a long time: "I remember, when I was young, I wanted to catch fish and fell into the lake, and he jumped in to save me without saying a word..."

Xiang Yindong sat down beside her and held her hand.

"Another time, my schoolmates saw that the driver took me to school every day, so they laughed at me for not having parents. After he knew, he would send me to school every day, and then go to work in the company..."

Lin Shanshan's tears fell again, she turned her head to look at Xiang Yindong, and asked helplessly, "Brother, tell me, are those... all fake? Why, it has become like this now?"

"It was all true at that time, but later he knew the truth, and he hated it as much as he loved it, do you understand?"

Lin Shanshan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.

"How is my mother?"

"It's nothing serious, but she hasn't woken up yet, and your little uncle is with her."

"Big cousin, are those things true? He did them all?"

"Shanshan..." Xiang Yindong reached out and touched the top of her head again, and said seriously, "If you want me to tell you that everything is a nightmare and not real, then I'm sorry, I can't... Everything is real, you have to learn to accept the reality..."

Lin Shanshan fell silent, looking at the lake in the distance, tears streaming down her face.
