Chapter 168 [Lin Ruofu's Despair]

Lin Xiangfu.

The heavy rain washed away the hot dust caused by Kyoto's long-term drought.

Although the air was extremely fresh, Lin Ruofu's mood at the moment was as nervous as the water droplets splashing in the puddle, beating nervously.

Yuan Hongdao, the counselor with a mole on his face, was standing behind, watching the sudden downpour in Kyoto, and fell into silence for a long time.

It seems that in this heavy rain, all words are in vain.

All there was was a helpless and complicated sigh.

"Why is there no movement at all in the assassination plan arranged today?"

When Lin Ruofu asked this question, he subconsciously clenched his palms a little.

According to the careful plan made before, once Li Chengqian went to the royal villa, he would never be able to leave alive.

This is a perfect and sure-kill situation.

According to intelligence, Li Chengqian did not bring any personal bodyguards with him when he went to the royal villa.

This is the best time to strike!

According to the previous layout and the ultimate killing plan, the killer will stop at nothing to keep Li Chengqian forever, and no one, including Lin Wan'er, can escape this fate.

However, Li Chengqian's entire process of borrowing rain went very smoothly.

Those powerful killers who had been lurking in the royal villa for a long time strangely never showed up from beginning to end.

There was no trace of a ghost.

These people did not take any action until Li Chengqian successfully borrowed rain from the sky and left.

"Prime Minister, something must have happened..." Yuan Hongdao frowned slightly, with a look of sadness and deep concern on his face.

As an old fox, Lin Ruofu knew it well.

Something must have happened!
"Has Dabao been sent away?" Lin Ruofu suddenly asked after a sigh.

"In the evening, when heavy rain sweeps across the sky and earth, it is the best time to hide your whereabouts.

Don't worry, Lord Xiang, I have already sent someone to take Dabao to a completely safe place."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu seemed to be relieved at last. He nodded and said:
“I didn’t expect that Li Chengqian could successfully ask the sky for rain in such a severe drought. This kind of divine method has never been seen before.

Perhaps, the moment I decided to become his enemy, I was wrong."

At this moment, the prime minister did not hide the regret in his words at all.

As an old fox, he naturally understood what the consequences of today's assassination meant.

All struggles are in vain.

Under the heavy rain, the entire perimeter of the Lin Mansion was filled with people in black clothes and black armor.

These people held the hilts of their swords in their hands and stood motionless in the heavy rain.

However, with just one order, they will become the sharpest blades in the rain and cut the throats of all enemies.

Add some blood to this heavy rain that comes after a long drought.

It rained heavily.

Therefore, the blood will be ruthlessly washed away by the flood, and the bloody smell will be extremely well suppressed and covered up.

After the heavy rain stops, no trace will be left.

The entire Lin Mansion has been surrounded!
"Prime Minister, if you have another chance, will you still be an enemy of Li Chengqian?" Yuan Hongdao asked.

"Maybe..." Lin Ruofu sighed and said:
"People like us who are in high positions always think that we are right."

After saying this, he laughed at himself, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have risked the world's disapproval and come up with the crazy idea of ​​changing the East Palace and the Crown Prince."

"father!"

As soon as Lin Ruofu finished speaking, he felt as if he was hallucinating. He actually heard Dabao calling him daddy.

However, when he heard the second sound, his face finally became very ugly.

He was sure it wasn't an auditory or visual hallucination.

In the heavy rain ahead, Dabao ran back with a lotus leaf in his hand.

"Dabao!" Lin Ruofu ran up to look at his son with a deathly pale face.

Then he turned around and looked at Mr. Yuan, the counselor who had followed him for many years.

He wanted to ask what was going on, but he felt that it was unnecessary to ask. Now that he was back, he could no longer change the outcome of destruction.

It's useless to ask.

"Is God going to destroy our Lin family?"

Lin Ruofu stood in the heavy rain, holding his silly son, looking up at the heavy rain in the sky.

The raindrops were huge and splashed all over his face.

The rain soon soaked him completely.

At this moment, he was just an old man who had lost the fight.

As a smart man, Lin Ruofu knew very well what would happen to the Lin family next.

He closed his eyes and let the heavy rain continue to hit his already slightly old face.

It seemed that only in this way could he remain calm for a moment before facing the confiscation of property and extermination of his clan.

After a long time, he dragged his wet body, his face covered in rain, and pushed open the door of his mansion.

When he saw the East Palace guards standing in neat rows under the heavy rain, he was still depressed even though he had guessed it in his mind.

"I want to see the prince." The moment he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little hoarse.

Or maybe he just looked a little unstable after being washed by the rain.

However, the East Palace guards in black clothes and armor seemed to be deaf to his words.

I have no intention of paying attention to him.

"Did you hear me? I want to see the prince!"

Lin Ruofu raised his voice a bit, but it still seemed weak under the heavy rain and did not travel far.

The moment he took a step forward, a sword was pressed against his throat.

Lin Ruofu had no doubt that if he took another step forward he would die on the spot.

At this time, a figure in white came slowly towards them holding an oil-paper umbrella.

From a distance, it looks like a fairy walking in the heavy rain.

"Wan'er..."

After seeing who was coming, Lin Ruofu subconsciously felt speechless and didn't know what to say.

After all, in this decisive plot, he chose to give up his own daughter.

Moreover, in all these years, he had never visited her once in the Royal Villa.

Even though I knew she might not survive, I never went to visit her.

Lin Wan'er stood outside the mansion, but did not stop there.

The East Palace guards in black clothes and black armor made way.

However, she still had no intention of setting foot in the mansion.

"Wan'er, do you know everything?" Lin Ruofu asked.

Lin Wan'er looked expressionlessly at Dabao who was standing next to Lin Ruofu, clutching his sleeve tightly.

Lin Wan'er's face looked very bad. It seemed as if there were thousands of words stuck in her chest, but she couldn't open her mouth to express her frustration.

In fact, she didn't know why she came.

Maybe I want to ask why.

However, when I really stand here, I find that all words are the most powerless and useless things in this world.

No matter how much she said or how much she knew, it couldn't change the fact that she was already a discarded child.

"Wan'er, I want to see the prince. Dad knows, you must have a way."

Lin Ruofu could only place all his last hopes on his daughter whom he had already abandoned as a dead child.

Lin Wan'er closed her eyes, and a line of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

This is what it feels like to be abandoned by your loved ones.

In the end, she turned around without saying a word and disappeared in the heavy rain.
