Chapter 287 Support Has Arrived
"You're quite the devoted father to your child, aren't you? Now get on your knees and kowtow to us a few times as revenge for my wounded brothers. You really didn't hold back before, showing no mercy at all!"
Who would have thought this guy was so loyal? Even now, he's still concerned about his brothers-in-arms.
Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of motorcycles outside, indicating his brothers were arriving.
The time was up for these guys. Weren't they acting all high and mighty just a moment ago? Lin Yi was about to make sure they couldn't be arrogant anymore!
"Expecting me to kowtow to you? You must not know how many 'balls' are on your own heads."
Just now, Lin Yi had been completely compliant with them. Why had his demeanor suddenly changed?
The leader, infuriated, couldn't believe it. They had just breathed a sigh of relief; how could they let Lin Yi off so easily?
"If you don't kneel and kowtow now, watch out—I might make sure your three children never return home. Lin Yi, aren't you being too arrogant? Or is it that you just don't care about your three children at all?"
The gang leader lifted the three children abruptly, causing Lin Yi's pupils to dilate as he dropped to one knee on the ground.
It was the very moment Lin Yi knelt on one knee that his brothers burst through the door on their motorcycles, shattering the door to pieces.
This sudden turn of events left the thugs present dumbfounded.
What was happening, how had they suddenly become the ones surrounded?
But they quickly realized, was Lin Yi planning a double-cross?
Luckily, they still held Lin Yi's children in their grasp, so he wouldn't dare make any rash moves.
"I warn you—if you try anything stupid, your children won't be leaving here today."
These people had been in the game for quite some time, so they reacted extremely quickly to such situations.
They immediately clutched the three children tightly in their arms.
Lin Yi stood up from the ground.
His good pal Hei Lang approached his side.
"Why would I act rashly? But I advise you to consider your actions carefully as well. If you cause my three children to be unable to leave here today, not only will I ensure you don't leave this place, but your family members won't escape either. Before I came, I already had my brothers investigate your backgrounds thoroughly.
I know exactly how many people there are in your families, so weigh your options carefully."
This time, the home advantage had shifted. Lin Yi sat nonchalantly with his legs crossed on a stool that Hei Lang had brought over, looking down at them from above.
The little thugs were already shaking with fear. What sort of person had they chosen to confront?
They had truly been blind to follow Director Zhao.
Now they had not only found an adversary, but they also saw no way out.
"Boss, what do we do now? We're no match for this guy, and if we run away now, the consequences will be terrible. Boss, you need to think of something!"
In their desperation, the thugs began to shake their leader beside them.
At this moment, the gang leader was sweating profusely. How was he supposed to know what to do?
He had no idea that he would encounter such a tough nut to crack.
Director Zhao had never mentioned that Lin Yi would have so much support.
"Lin Yi, you better think this through. Our deaths mean nothing to you, but what about your children? Are you really willing to take that risk?"
Lin Yi continued to watch them coldly, saying not a word. Everything was entirely up to them to decide.
After all, Lin Yi had already laid out their possible fates before them.
When they said such things to Lin Yi, did they ever consider that for themselves, it was actually the same outcome?
Was it really worth it to ruin their entire lives for three unrelated children? And the lives of their own families too?

After staring each other down for nearly three minutes, the gangsters finally couldn't hold out any longer. A few of them fell to their knees on the ground, begging Lin Yi for mercy.
"Big brother, we were wrong, we truly realize our mistake. We never intended to do anything like this from the start, it's all Director Zhao, the one you know as Zhao Guangchen; he's the one who told us to do this. Please, could you let us go?"
"Yes, yes, everything we've done was under the orders of Director Zhao. Let those who owe the debt pay the debt. If you really want revenge, please go find that man!"
These people were really cowardly and fearful. It was a mystery how Zhao Guangchen could raise such a bunch of men.
Utterly useless, and at the critical moment, they'd even betray their own.
"I will seek revenge on that man, but right now I need to deal with you lot. If you truly want to save your lives, then I suggest you convince your boss," Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi cocked his leg and glanced at his watch. They didn't have much time left.
If they didn't make a decision soon, Lin Yi was ready to resort to violent means.
"Boss, what are you waiting for? If we don't return the children to him, we're all going to die here today. Boss, do you really want to see that outcome?"
Under the persuasive talks, the gangsters began to plead with their boss.
Under pressure from his subordinates, the boss finally returned the children to Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi had no intention of letting them off so easily.
After all, when these men were torturing him earlier, they had shown no mercy.
"You're dishonest! Didn't I return the children to you already? Why are you still treating us this way?"
The gangsters were indignant. They had clearly returned the children to Lin Yi, so why were they not allowed to leave?
Instead, they were surrounded by these menacing figures.
"You did return the children to me, but did I ever say I'd let you go? I've always allowed you to make your own choices. I won't go after your families now, but that doesn't mean I won't go after you. Weren't you quite happy while tormenting me earlier?"
Lin Yi held his three children in his arms. Now, with wide-open eyes, the children looked up at their father without a trace of fear.
Finally, Lin Yi gave the command, leaving everything to Hei Lang to handle on his own.
Lin Yi trusted that Hei Lang would take care of it.
And he wouldn't let these men off easily or let them die.
After all, so many sudden deaths would raise suspicions elsewhere.
And so, Lin Yi left with his children, leaving behind only the abandoned warehouse from where howls of pain and screams of agony echoed.
