Chapter 916: God’s Joke
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan never thought that Executive Officer Lin would want to jump out of the window!
Executive Officer Lin climbed up the window from more than a meter away. His bloated body was stuck between the windowsill.
Because the floor was too high, there was no anti-theft window installed.
Executive Officer Lin glared at Su Wan. His voice was clearly exasperated.
“Su Wan, I know that you and the Emperor don’t want to reveal your whereabouts, but if I die here, the two of you will be in big trouble!”
Su Wan looked at him anxiously, her almond-shaped eyes filled with anxiety.
“Executive Officer Lin, wake up! Xuecheng and I never wanted to harm you!”
The middle-aged man, who looked a generation older than her, had a manic expression on his face, as if he was going to lift something up at any moment or jump down from the window!
God, that was a hundred-meter tall building. Did this man think that he could leap over the eaves and walls?!
If Executive Officer Lin fell from here, he would definitely be smashed into a pile of minced meat. His bones would be completely broken!
“Su Wan, stop trying to persuade me. Isn’t it you and the Emperor who conspired to murder me?”
Executive Officer Lin spat in Su Wan’s direction. His swollen eyes flashed with hatred.
Su Wan was helpless and speechless.
Did she and Jiang Xuecheng really want to bring him to this godforsaken place?
Back then, when it came to who harmed who, it was all Executive Officer Lin’s fault. Now, it was all on her and Jiang Xuecheng. Was it possible?
Su Wan looked at Executive Officer Lin helplessly. No matter what, she did not want to see a person die in front of her in such a way.
Moreover, at this moment, Executive Officer Lin was clearly not very clear-headed.
If Executive Officer Lin really fell from such a high place, he would be smashed into pieces. Moreover, she and Jiang Xuecheng would inevitably be caught in a new storm!
Su Wan could not tell whether it was because Executive Officer Lin drank Jiang Xuecheng’s blood or the CHK Virus No.3 acting up in his body in advance!
After all, Doctor Li had also said that small animals infected with the CHK Virus No.3 would have some symptoms of self-harm and mania. Sometimes, they would even fall into hysteria!
Su Wan looked at Executive Officer Lin’s collar that was blown away by the wind and couldn’t help but gulp.
She tried her best to use the most peaceful and soothing tone to comfort Executive Officer Lin.
“Executive Officer Lin, if Xuecheng and I really wanted to harm you, we would have done it long ago on Planet Aquamarine. Why wait until now?”
When Executive Officer Lin heard Su Wan’s words, he hesitated for two to three seconds, but the next moment, he was still mad!
“Ptui, you did this so that you wouldn’t expose your identity! I say, why did you let my substitute go? Don’t tell me you want to kill me and let him replace me and live on in my identity?”
Su Wan was even more speechless by Executive Officer Lin’s imagination.
She and Jiang Xuecheng did not look for that substitute. It was clearly cultivated by Executive Officer Lin himself in the past.
Moreover, in such a short time, what could she and Jiang Xuecheng use to threaten or entice that substitute?
Su Wan looked at Executive Officer Lin without knowing whether to laugh or cry, trying to ease his mood.
“Executive Officer Lin, I heard about the substitute. Didn’t you say that his family is still in your hands? Even if Xuecheng and I wanted to make a move, we don’t know the whereabouts of his family for the time being!”
Hearing Su Wan mention this, Executive Officer Lin hesitated for a moment, as if what Su Wan said made sense.
He was sure that the Emperor definitely did not know the whereabouts of his substitute’s family at the moment.
After all, in order to properly control the substitute, he had directly moved his mother, wife, and children to a very remote place.
Only his trusted aides knew about that place, and his trusted aides had died two years ago. Therefore, in this world, only Executive Officer Lin himself knew the location of those people.
Executive Officer Lin looked at Su Wan hesitantly. His dry lips moved, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Su Wan naturally let out a sigh of relief.
She saw Executive Officer Lin’s hesitation and understood that he had been persuaded.
Su Wan’s expression turned cold. She decided to take advantage of the situation and pursue the matter, wanting to persuade Executive Officer Lin properly
“Executive Officer Lin, you should also understand that Xuecheng and I have no need to harm you. At least, there’s no need for that at the moment. If you’ve thought it through, then be careful and come down yourself, okay?”
Su Wan looked at him sincerely. Although Su Wan’s facial features had been altered, her almond-shaped eyes were still clear and bright, making people want to believe her.
Executive Officer Lin’s fingers trembled. He stared at Su Wan suspiciously, but the wariness in his heart towards Su Wan did not completely let go.
“Why should I believe what you say?”
At this moment, Su Wan’s mind spun rapidly, but no matter how hard she racked her brain, she could not think of a better reason to convince him.
Thus, Su Wan decided to convince Executive Officer Lin from another perspective.
“Executive Officer Lin, I don’t know if Xuecheng has told you specifically about the symptoms of CHK Virus No.3. When the disease strikes, people’s emotions are easily affected by this virus.”
Executive Officer Lin pricked up his ears and listened to every word. However, his hand was constantly gripping the windowsill. He did not know if he should retreat or advance.
He took a step back and returned to his room. For the time being, he was still safe.
However, if he continued to crawl outside, he would be jumping down and not even his bones would be left.
Seeing that the other party did not refute her words, Su Wan’s confidence increased a little. She began to continue to persuade Executive Officer Lin.
“When your illness strikes, you will easily feel negative, tired, and sleepy. However, you will be easily provoked by the outside world and even have the tendency to self-harm!”
Su Wan’s voice was neither soft nor heavy. Her gentle voice sounded in the Quiet Room, giving people a special hint.
“Executive Officer Lin, believe me. You really only feel that you have no hope in life for the time being. However, it is not impossible to cure the CHK Virus No.3. I have also been infected with this virus, but we will all survive.”
Su Wan felt that out of sympathy for the illness, she actually understood Executive Officer Lin’s current emotions.
However, it was too hasty to end his life so easily.
Executive Officer Lin’s forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. As he listened to Su Wan’s words, the irritation in his heart seemed to gradually recede.
Should he believe this woman?
Executive Officer Lin’s gaze locked onto Su Wan. He gritted his teeth and finally nodded his head to give in.
“Alright, then I’ll believe you for now. If the Emperor doesn’t come back in three days, we’ll just fall out!”
When Su Wan heard this, the huge rock in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She happily nodded at Executive Officer Lin and watched him climb down from the window.
However, God sometimes liked to play jokes.
Executive Officer Lin squatted on the windowsill for a long time. When he stood up, his legs went numb and he suddenly lost his balance and fell straight out of the window!
