Chapter 728 Seeking the Real Culprit, Showing No Mercy
Chapter 728 Seeking the Real Culprit, Showing No Mercy
With a resounding crash, the black horse's tall body collapsed to its knees, leaving Chu Lingjun, pale-faced, panting heavily on the horse. The scene had been so dangerous that she hadn't caught her breath yet.
To stop a strong horse that is over two meters tall by one person alone is a terrifying feat of strength.
Everyone was stunned by this incredible scene, their mouths agape in disbelief.
Ye Xingke stood high beside the horse's head, like a god descending from heaven, but the anger in his heart had not yet been fully vented.
He kicked the horse in the head, knocking the beast unconscious. Then he rushed to the horse trainer, grabbed him by the collar without saying a word, and lifted him up.
"I'll only ask you once: do you even know anything about this horse? Why did you give this crazed horse to the young lady to ride?"
Ye Xingke stared coldly at the horse trainer, his icy gaze as terrifying and chilling as an abyss, filled with the aura of death. The eyes of death he once possessed had returned. This time, he would absolutely not let anyone who dared to offend Chu Lingjun go unpunished, absolutely not!
Having experienced so many things, Ye Xingke has become increasingly rational, and even with extreme anger in his heart at this moment, he can still remain calm.
He knew very well that Chu Lingjun's beloved horse could not have fallen ill for no reason, and the black horse he was riding now could not have gone mad as if it had lost its mind and almost trampled Chu Lingjun under its hooves. If these two things were connected, it would be strange if no one was behind it.
The most suspicious person on the field is undoubtedly the horse trainer who personally handed the black horse over to Chu Lingjun.
So, as soon as Ye Xingke subdued the black horse, before anyone could react, he immediately rushed to the horse trainer.
"What did you say? I...I don't know..."
The horse trainer stammered, utterly terrified, sweating profusely, his eyes darting around constantly—clearly, he had something to hide.
"The young lady's horse just happened to be sick, and you were the one who brought this wild horse to her. You say you have no responsibility? You're kidding me!"
Ye Xingke said coldly.
"I... I only gave this black horse to the young lady because it has a better bloodline..."
Seeing that the conspiracy was about to be exposed, the horse trainer almost cried.
At this moment, Chu Lingjun, who was riding on horseback, had recovered from the danger just now. His heart was still pounding. When he saw Ye Xingke grabbing the horse trainer and questioning him, he immediately understood what Ye Xingke wanted to do.
"Are you out of your mind?! How could you let the young lady ride such a wild horse??? What kind of person are you to manage this horse farm??? If she gets injured, even if you sold yourself, you couldn't afford to pay for it!!!"
Principal Yang was also furious. He ran up and pointed at the horse trainer's nose, giving him a good scolding.
Behind him, the education bureau leaders looked at each other in bewilderment, while reporters' flashbulbs went off everywhere.
The Chu family's daughter nearly fell off her horse during a performance, which will be big news tomorrow.
"I really don't know, I just wanted to give the best horse to Director Chu to ride..."
The horse trainer was clearly panicked and at a loss for what to do when he caught sight of Lin Manru, who was trying to sneak away. He couldn't help but send her a pleading look.
Chu Lingjun followed his gaze and saw Lin Manru preparing to sneak away.
"Why is she here at this time???"
Chu Lingjun suppressed his wildly beating heart, calmly pondered for a moment, and then suddenly understood.
"If you don't reveal who's behind this, believe me, I'll kill you right now."
"Let me tell you, I'm very angry right now, and the consequences will be severe!!!"
Ye Xingke's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he tightened his grip. The horse trainer was immediately choked and unable to breathe, his heart filled with the deep fear of death.
"Xingke! Forget about this nobody, go there and bring Lin Manru here!!!"
Chu Lingjun regained consciousness, dismounted from her unconscious horse, her beautiful face as cold and expressionless as ice. She pointed to Lin Manru in the distance and decisively gave the order.
"Understood!"
Ye Xing released the horse trainer and sped off like an arrow towards the fleeing Lin Manru.
In his rage, he moved many times faster than before, catching up with Lin Manru in an instant.
"follow me!!!"
Ye Xingke stood in front of Lin Manru and coldly uttered those three words.
"Who are you to dare be so disrespectful to our Chairman Lin?!"
The lackey rushed out from behind Lin Manru, and just as he was about to say something on behalf of his master, he was sent flying backward.
"Get lost, I'm not in the mood to argue with you."
Ye Xingke swung his hand and smashed it into the face of the lackey, sending him flying several meters away, unconscious.
"Go with you?? Why should I? Who do you think you are???"
Lin Manru smoothed her hair, trying to hide her panicked feelings. She never expected that Chu Lingjun would be completely unharmed. What she couldn't believe was that this man could actually tame a raging horse. It was something that seemed impossible for a human to do.
"Snapped!!!!"
A crisp slap rang out as Ye Xingke, expressionless, delivered a slap to Lin Manru's face without the slightest hesitation.
I'll say it again, come with me!!!
Ye Xingke said coldly.
The last time he slapped Lin Manru was when he was wearing a green fish head mask, disguised as the Fish Head Hero, and no one knew his identity.
This time, he slapped Lin Manru hard across the face in front of everyone, without any hesitation, which shows how angry he was.
"You...you actually dared to hit me??? Our Lin family will not let you get away with this!!!"
Lin Manru tightly covered her swollen face, her voice trembling with anger.
"Go to hell with the Lin family!!!"
Upon hearing the mention of the Lin family, Ye Xingke flew into a rage and slapped Lin Manru hard across the face once more.
In any case, the Lin Group would be his target sooner or later, and his subordinate Lu Wenyuan had a deep hatred for the Lin Group. This pretense would soon be torn apart, so Ye Xingke showed no mercy when he took action.
"you……"
Lin Manru was stunned by the two sudden slaps and didn't know what to say. She had always used the Lin Group as a shield to act recklessly, but now that someone was not afraid of the Lin family's name, she didn't know what to do.
"Director Chu, he... he actually attacked Lin Manru directly! The Lin family won't stand idly by. What should we do?"
Principal Yang was also stunned by Ye Xingke's bold move in the distance, and asked Chu Lingjun in a trembling voice.
"Interrogate her first. If Lin Manru really instigated this, so what if I slapped her?! I will never forgive her! I will definitely get justice!!!"
Chu Lingjun bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, full of grievance and resentment. She had already guessed most of what had happened.
Lin Manru had always disliked her since school and had done countless dirty tricks behind her back. However, due to various family factors and Chu Lingjun's belief that it was just minor mischief, Chu Lingjun had tolerated Lin Manru's rampant behavior.
However, Lin Manru has gone too far this time, and she absolutely cannot forgive her!
"It seems that talking to you won't work."
On the other side, Ye Xingke saw Lin Manru sitting on the ground, glaring at him fiercely. He realized that it wouldn't work to let the woman walk over by herself, so he picked her up like a chick and rushed back to Chu Lingjun's side.
"Miss Chu has questions for you, answer them honestly!!!"
Ye Xingke had no pity for Lin Manru and threw her to the ground, making her eat a handful of dirt.
"How dare you treat me like this! My brother will never let you get away with this!!!"
Lin Manru said angrily, shoving the mud in her mouth.
"It doesn't matter. Let him come. I'll still kill him in front of you. Don't think that the entire Dragon Kingdom is ruled by your Lin family."
Ye Xingke seemed to have made up his mind and was no longer afraid. He did not react at all to Lin Manru's threat.
Witnessing this scene, the education bureau leaders around them all fell silent. Things had escalated to this point; one was the daughter of the Chu family, and the other was the daughter of the Lin family. This was now a direct conflict between two top conglomerates, and they had no right to speak.
The most excited people on the scene were the group of reporters following behind. They originally thought they were just there to take some photos and promote the atmosphere of the Leonardo da Vinci Academy of Fine Arts. Unexpectedly, they were able to capture such a big news story that could make tomorrow's headlines. How could they not be excited?
"You did this, didn't you? I almost fell off my horse and was trampled to death."
Chu Lingjun walked up to Lin Manru and said in a rare cold voice. At this moment, she was no longer the gentle and charming young girl she usually was. Her eyebrows were filled with malice, her mouth was tightly closed, and she had a queenly demeanor that seemed to be high above everyone else.
"Pah!!! Chu Lingjun, don't try to intimidate me with your position as a school board member. I'm the heiress of the Lin Group, and I won't let this insult go so easily!!!"
Lin Manru scrambled to her feet, staring intently at Chu Lingjun with hatred.
"I know you must have orchestrated this. You're the only one in the whole school who hates me this much. I just can't believe that we usually just have minor squabbles, but this time you actually wanted to kill me..."
Chu Lingjun's tone became sharp.
"Haha, Chu Lingjun, you're really joking! What do you mean, 'put you to death'??? I don't know anything about that??? You're really good at slandering people!!!"
Lin Manru burst into wild laughter, then gave the horse trainer a threatening look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Director Chu, all the staff from the horse farm have been brought along."
At this moment, Principal Yang arrived with a group of staff members who were unaware of what was going on.
"Tell me, where did this horse come from?"
Chu Lingjun pointed to the black horse lying on the ground and asked them in a calm tone.
"Hey? Isn't that the expensive black horse that was just brought in a while ago? It's notorious for its bad temper, and the equestrian even broke his leg trying to tame it. We haven't even tamed it yet, so why is it being led out? It's not allowed to be ridden yet!!"
The staff at the horse farm immediately recognized the horse's origin and began to discuss it.
"Ah."
Chu Lingjun gave a disdainful sneer. Sure enough, someone had painstakingly plotted to harm him, giving her a wild horse that had not been tamed by humans to ride. It seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes was truly cunning.
"So, manager, everyone knows about this horse's condition, why did you specifically bring it out for me to ride???"
Chu Lingjun moved gracefully to the side of the horse trainer and asked sarcastically.
"........."
Faced with such irrefutable evidence, the horse trainer had no room for defense. However, fearing the power of the Lin family, he dared not say a word and knelt on the ground, silent as a cicada in winter.
"Principal Yang, could you please arrange for a veterinarian to take a blood sample from this black horse? Also, please take a sample from my horse. I suspect that its sudden illness was not an accident, but rather caused by someone. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Chu Lingjun instructed Principal Yang that anyone whose personal safety was threatened would not easily give up.
"Yes! I'll do it right away!!!"
Principal Yang didn't dare to delay and quickly led people to take blood samples.
"too slow."
“This process of taking blood samples and sending them to the hospital for testing is too slow. I don’t know when we’ll be able to find the culprit.”
"I can not wait anymore."
At this moment, Ye Xingke, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.
"oh???"
"What do you want to do???"
Chu Lingjun smiled slightly.
"It's very simple: use your own methods against them."
"Since they have threatened your personal safety, then we'll go back to them."
Ye Xingke rubbed his hands together and walked toward the horse trainer's path, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.
"Then go ahead and do it."
"Everything that happened was blamed on me."
Unexpectedly, Chu Lingjun didn't try to persuade her this time. Instead, she directly told Ye Xingke to use the violence she used to hate the most to solve the problem.
"Go do it. Whatever happens, I'll be there for you..."
Chu Lingjun silently said to herself that she had realized this matter could not be easily resolved.
"You want our young lady to break her leg? Fine, then I'll cripple one of your legs."
Ye Xingke kicked the horse trainer to the ground, grabbed his shinbone, and began to twist it violently.
"Ah ...
A deafening scream echoed through the horse farm. The horse trainer screamed fiercely, sending chills down the spines of those around him.
This kid is serious!
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I won't break it all at once. I'll slowly break your calf, crushing it inch by inch, so you'll never forget this pain for the rest of your life."
Ye Xingke leaned close to the horse trainer's ear and spoke softly, a voice that sent chills down one's spine.
