Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 195 Sibling For A Sibling

"I'm jealous..."

Hui Yin blinked. While she was immersed in her memories, Lu Shen casually threw out a statement that didn't make sense to her. What was he jealous of?

"It surprises me that you can still love that filth despite what he had done. It's obvious that you know he was the one who threatened me and ruined our marriage. You also know that he had a hand in your death and the death of our unborn child. But you can still love him and forgive him despite all of that."

Lu Shen stood up in disgust. He was not disgusted with her, but he was disgusted with himself. In the car, he was angry that she still defended Hui Jinhai. He was feeling angry that she could forgive Hui Jinhai so easily for his misdeeds, but she couldn't forgive him. Was their importance in her heart so disparately big? Why couldn't she love him like this too?

"You...what do you mean..."

Hui Yin was suddenly tongue-tied. She said that, but she knew what he meant.

Lu Shen walked towards her and stopped by the edge of the bed. He leaned over Hui Yin, bracing his hands on the mattress and putting his face close to hers.

"By the end of the week, your brother will be dead."

This was said in a low and calm voice, so calm that it was almost as if he was stating a fact. Lu Shen pulled away and ignored Hui Yin's white face as he unsnapped his wrist watch and started getting ready for bed.

"No! You can't!"

Hui Yin recovered from her shock and yelled loudly.

Lu Shen didn't turn around. "I can't?"

"Lu Shen, he's my brother. He only did all those things because he had gone insane from grief..."

"And you don't think I've gone insane from grief as well?" His eyes were hard. "If that's the only excuse that you can find, you won't be able to persuade me, Xiao Yin."

Hui Yin's eyelashes trembled. What should she do? If she could put the handcuffs she bought on Hui Jinhai and fulfill the promise of 'capturing' him to Yue Lao, then this future would be reset and Lu Shen wouldn't be able to kill her brother. Everything would be finally over.

But Hui Jinhai was being guarded by Lu Shen. She managed to enter their hide out earlier due to luck, but she was certain that if she tried to go there right now and escape with Hui Jinhai, it would be a different story. Hui Yin wasn't even sure if she could get out of the mansion for the second time.

Lu Shen had already gone inside the bathroom to shower. Hui Yin stared blankly, picked herself up, and went out of the master bedroom. At the very least, since Lu Shen was here, Hui Yin could be reassured that her brother was still alive. Lu Shen was the kind of man that would want to see the death of his enemies with his own eyes.

Hui Yin didn't go back to sleep. She paced back and forth in her own room, wringing her hands in worry. After a brief hesitation, she rushed back to Lu Shen's room.

"Lu Shen, I agree to you putting my brother in jail for a lifetime, but don't kill—"

She was already speaking as soon as she opened the door, but the words died in her throat as soon as her brain processed the sight that greeted her.

Lu Shen was half-naked, with only a white towel wrapped around his waist. Another towel was used to dry his hair, and he slightly turned around when he heard her voice.

Hui Yin turned around so fast that her figure was a blur.

Water droplets sliding down a toned body that didn't have an ounce of fat, and black hair that was mussed to frame his dark eyes...Hui Yin thought to herself that if she managed to take a picture of that hot scene and sell it, she would not have to worry about money for a while.

Although Hui Yin turned around, it was only to give Lu Shen a chance to protect his chastity. Towards his face and body that could make any woman drool, Hui Yin had long since been desensitized.

"What is it?" His tone was bland.

"Are you...proper?"

His lips slightly quirked before he resumed his indifferent look.

"Mmm. You can turn around."

Hui Yin kept one eye closed as she turned around. To her relief, the fluffy towel was gone and was replaced by a striped button down shirt with matching pajamas. He looked younger than he was wearing these kind of clothes.

Hui Yin sat on the chair beside the bed and began, "You can imprison my brother for a lifetime in jail. But you can't kill him."

Lu Shen raised an eyebrow and adjusted his cuffs.

"To negotiate with me, you must tell me the benefits that I'll get from your compromise first. If there's nothing, then this deal is off."

"...deal?" Hui Yin's mouth stayed open.

"Xiao Yin, you must know that I won't simply obey you just because you said so, right? It's true that I love you, but I'm a businessman."

Lu Shen leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.

"If there's even the slightest chance of opportunity that I'll be able to get what I want, I won't agree to a deal that won't benefit me and have zero profits. I don't do pro bono work."

Hui Yin's left eye twitched. She directly ignored his mention of the L word. "Then what will make you not kill my brother?"

Lu Shen tapped his nose with a slender finger. "Well...your brother is a bastard. I hate him, I want to gut him, and I have the overwhelming desire to eradicate all traces of his existence in the world. What you're asking me...the cost would be too priceless."

"Just get to the point." Hui Yin's right eye joined her left eye in twitching.

"You know how a deal works. Tit for tat. If we're going to do an exchange, the amount of worth should be equal between two parties." Lu Shen smiled. "So...a sibling for a sibling."

Hui Yin blinked, confused.

"Stay beside me, Xiao Yin. If you do that, I'll let your brother live."
