Chapter 642 - Untitled

The first thing Lin Ye did when he reached his villa was arrange for people to fence the swimming pool. He couldn't believe that such an important thing had slipped his mind. 

Even if that maid didn't throw Yun Feng into the pool, it was still dangerous as the kid might just walk right into the water out of curiosity when they were not watching. When this was settled, he gloomily summoned his bodyguards. "Where is she?" He asked furiously, referring to the maid.

"Master, we locked her up to interrogate her." Of course they would lock her up. Even before Lin Ye ordered them to make sure she didn't get away, some of the bodyguards had already started chasing after her. How could they let anyone get away with harming Yun Feng? From the past few weeks, they had figured out that the little boy would soon become their little master. It was their duty to protect him. 

Lin Ye rapped his armrest a few times and stood up. "Let's go."

The bodyguards followed, curiously exchanging looks but remaining silent since they wanted to remain alive. 

In the dark room, Lin Ye almost strangled the damn maid as soon as he saw her. But that wouldn't do any good. There was no way she would have chosen to do such a dangerous thing on her own. He wanted nothing more than to kill her, but he would have to kill whoever sent her as well. 

As soon as the little maid saw him, she was first shocked then she fell to her knees. She had bruises all over her body, thanks to the torture the bodyguards had put her through in attempt to make her speak. "M... master, I didn't mean to do it. I was forced!" 

Lin Ye glared at her. "I'm not here to play charades with you. Who sent you?" 

The girl's face was soaked in tears but no one knew how real they were. At this moment, Lin Ye only got angrier watching her put on a pitiful show. Who was she acting for?

"I... I can't say. They said that... they would kill my whole family if... if I said something I shouldn't." 

Lin Ye's expression darkened. "Since she doesn't want to talk, make it so she can't talk ever." 

The meaning behind his words was clear; kill her. 

Two bodyguards strode forward. 

"No! Please don't! I'll tell you everything!" She yelled. 

"I don't want to hear it anymore." Lin Ye stood to leave. 

"I don't know his identity but I can describe him." The maid still continued to speak. "He had brown curly hair and emerald eyes. His ears..." 

When Lin Ye heard this description from the door, he paused his tracks before walking out without saying a word. 

Why did that description match Yun Xuan's ex husband word for word? 

No one would be so heartless as to want their own child dead, right? 

Besides... how did that maid know to describe him so precisely? Normally, no one would reveal their face when going to hire someone to do dirty deeds. Why would Tyler reveal his true appearance for her to see and cram? 

After thinking for a while, he concluded that whoever had sent her had probably also taught her to describe Tyler as a precaution in case she was caught and forced to confess.

But then again, no one would anticipate getting caught when planning a murder so it was possible that Tyler really was behind this. It could be that he was just too arrogant and didn't think anyone would figure it out. 

Although the first possibility sounded more plausible, the second possibility lingered in his mind, too. 

A bodyguard ran in after a while. "Master, how should we kill her?"

Lin Ye thought about it for a bit. "Drowning or burning, which can be more torturous?" 

The bodyguard felt a chill down his back. "Burning is more painful." 

"You know what to do." Lin Ye said. 

"Yes." The bodyguard left the room with lots of ideas in his head. 

Perhaps burning a finger or toe at a time before actually burning her whole would be satisfactory? 

No. What about enclosing her in a warehouse? Teing her hands loosely to the roof would be a better idea. They would only need to light a fire on the floor to make things more exciting. 

Even though she would be hopeful of surviving because the ropes would be loosely tied, that would only land her in the fire. 

And even if she couldn't rescue herself from the ropes, the flame would grow big enough to devour her. 

Of course, they would watch over and make sure she didn't survive. Not only that, it would be great if they also found measures to make sure she didn't pass out from the pain. The master would like it if she experienced the worst possible kind of pain. 

Now that he thought about it, Lin Ye didn't say anything about them torturing her. Wouldn't it be more fun if they tortured the hell out of her first?

After coming up with a satisfactory solution, he rushed off to find his fellow bodyguards.

Once Lin Ye had handled the matter with the maid and saw to it that the new fence around the swimming  pool would be child-proof, he went back to the hospital. It was already night, they must be hungry so he bought food on his way.

Alas, Yun Feng had already been discharged. 

"She didn't tell me?" He thought aloud in disappointment. 

There was only one place she could be; the Lin residence, so he went over. 

Xia Rou was watching an interview on television and she didn't look as ecstatic as she would usually be when she saw him. 

She merely cast a glance over. "Are you looking for Xuanxuan? She is in her room. She should be resting now." She sounded disappointed about something but couldn't say it because she didn't want to meddle too much in the youngsters' affairs. 

Lin Ye felt embarrassed from her cold attitude. "Hello aunty. Can I have a word with her?" He knew why she was giving him the cold shoulder and it must be why Xia Rou was cold too. He had to explain some matters to her.
