The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Lin Chuan ignored the police at the scene and anyone else present.

"Brother Chuan, we'll help you." Zhou Kai and the others quickly stepped forward, ready to take the chemical barrel home.

"Get lost!" Lin Chuan roared.

This roar was filled with a murderous aura. The substantial killing intent seemed to have materialized, scaring almost everyone at the scene, who ended up sitting paralyzed on the ground.

"Lin Chuan, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Rui was terrified, clinging tightly to Lin Chuan's arm. With a pleading face, she looked at him and said, "Don't scare me."

"Xiao Rui, I've been unfilial to my mother my whole life, making her worry for half her life." Lin Chuan wiped his tears with his arm, looked up at the sky, and said, "Today, let me fulfill my filial duty to my mother one last time!"

After that, Lin Chuan stepped forward. With his right hand, he grabbed a handle on top of the chemical barrel, and with a push, he immediately lifted the heavy barrel.

Roar...

Lin Chuan roared and the chemical barrel immediately pressed down on his back. Lin Chuan's hands firmly grasped the barrel, his arms pressed against his shoulders, the sharp edges cutting through his skin, blood flowing down the twisted grooves of his muscles. Carrying the barrel, he walked step by step forward.

"Brother Chuan..." Zhou Kai and the others were bewildered.

"Move aside, I'm taking my mother home." Lin Chuan's eyes bulged, and his muscles swelled. He seemed like a Herculean figure.

Ssss...

Everyone was shocked. From East River Pier to eastern part of Jiangbei City, it nearly crossed half of Jiangbei City, about thirteen or fourteen kilometers away. Even driving would take over half an hour, let alone walking back with such a heavy chemical barrel.

"This..." Zhou Kai was stunned.

"Brother Chuan..." Lu Dapao felt helpless.

Huang Bo followed behind Lin Chuan, with everyone unconsciously following Lin Chuan's steps moving forward.

Zhang Wenhui frowned, this scene deeply touched his heart.

A police officer nearby was shocked, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets. He had just seriously counted the cement bags on the pier, a total of five cement bags, meaning the chemical barrel was filled with five bags of cement. Just these five bags of cement weighed about five hundred pounds, not including the additional weight of the water-absorbed cement, the barrel itself, and the body inside. If these were included, the weight might be close to eight hundred pounds. More than half a ton, not something one person could lift; at least three people would be needed to lift it. Yet, Lin Chuan was lifting this incredibly heavy chemical barrel by himself.

"Captain Zhang, this... this barrel weighs at least over eight hundred pounds," exclaimed the police officer in shock.

"What?!" Zhang Wenhui was startled and said, "Over eight hundred pounds?"

"Look!" The officer hurriedly pointed to the cement bags behind him, then said, "Five bags of cement, one chemical barrel, one body..."

Ssss...

Zhang Wenhui was dumbfounded, watching Lin Chuan's figure gradually walking away, and he was somewhat shocked. He finally realized why he had been thrown aside so effortlessly by Lin Chuan earlier. At that moment, he felt as feeble as an ant.

"What?" Li Qiang was at the back, clearly hearing the officer's words. His heart secretly shocked, he turned his head and saw, my god, five cement bags...

The news quickly spread among the brothers of Jvyi Gang.

"Over eight hundred pounds?" Everyone stared at the chemical barrel which didn't look that big, unaware it was filled to the brim with cement, which shows the murderer's heart must be condemned, as the crime is indescribable. So much cement was used.

Wow...

The crowd was in an uproar.

At that moment, Zhou Kai hurriedly rushed forward, saying, "Brothers, let's help Brother Chuan carry it together!"

The crowd rushed forward.

However, Lin Chuan stopped in his tracks, suppressed his voice, and furiously said, "Who dares!"

This scolding was powerful, with energy coming from his Dantian, full of strength. It stunned the crowd, leaving everyone dumbstruck and wide-eyed.

"Lin Chuan, it's too heavy, you... you can't handle it," Zhou Rui hastily said. "The way back is so long, and it's not close..."

"This is the only chance in life," Lin Chuan said through gritted teeth. "I want to personally take my mother home."

Everyone clenched their lips, turning their heads and shedding tears. Lin Chuan's actions moved everyone at the scene. Each person felt a heavy heart, feeling choked up and saddened.

For more than ten kilometers, everyone accompanied him on his way.

When tired, Lin Chuan would sit on the ground hugging the chemical barrel, never letting it touch the ground, resting it on his legs instead. After enough rest, accompanied by a resounding roar, his neck and arms were bulging with veins, looking like he was about to explode. His arms were covered in cuts and bruises.

Along the way, many tried to help him, but all were dismissed by Lin Chuan.

After more than three hours of long journey, the shoulders of Lin Chuan were bloodied by the barrel, and the skin on his back was rubbed off by it as well. Over a distance of thirteen thousand meters, Lin Chuan measured his way back step by step, carrying a several hundred pound heavy barrel. This is how he made his way home.

It can truly be said to smell the tears, and the listeners feel heartbroken. Everyone followed with their heads down, weeping all the way. It was as if countless voices of children filled the air, loudly reciting a poem: Thread in a kind mother's hand, clothes on a wandering child's body; stitches tightly sewn before departure, worrying about a late return; who says a small heart, can repay the warm spring sunlight?

Upon arriving home, Lin Chuan placed the chemical barrel beside his mother's bed.

"Kai, go and get some incense, candles, and joss paper," Lin Chuan said weakly.

Just as the barrel was set down, Lin Chuan collapsed to the ground, completely drained.

"Lin Chuan, are you okay?" Zhou Rui hurriedly embraced him.

"I'm fine, just a bit weak," Lin Chuan shook his head, his face pale and powerless, his eyes empty.

"Fool, why should you punish yourself for others' mistakes?" Zhou Rui said with a choked voice, "Look at you, you're covered in injuries."

"To be able to show filial piety one last time, even if I die, what does it matter!" Lin Chuan said calmly with a smile, though his laughter was pale and sad.

The death of his mother clearly had a profound impact on Lin Chuan, the superficial smile was a solidification of the wounds within. That touch of tragically beautiful smile made Zhou Rui feel incredibly heartbroken.

"I know your heart aches, I know you're in pain," Zhou Rui said crying, "But, seeing you like this, it hurts me so much, too!"

Upon hearing this, Nuo Xiaoxi fainted on the spot. Zhou Rui hurriedly helped Nuo Xiaoxi into Lin Chuan's room to rest.

Tang Yumeng also appeared pale with shock.

"Lin Chuan, what happened to you?" Tang Yumeng, disregarding the dirt on Lin Chuan, began crying with compassion when she saw his bloody, battered body: "How could this happen? Who did this to you?"

"I don't know yet." Lin Chuan sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, with a blank expression.

"I…" Tang Yumeng felt at a loss and said, "Lin Chuan, I want to help you, just tell me what I should do?"

Tang Yumeng indeed didn't know what to do, she was completely disoriented. She wanted to help Lin Chuan, but she didn't know where to start.

"No need," Lin Chuan said with a smile, consoling, "Xiao Yu, I might be busy these next few days, please take care of Xiao Xi."

"I…" Tang Yumeng hesitated.

"My matters, naturally I must handle them myself," Lin Chuan said, his expression darkening as he added, "Murder for a life, debt for repayment, it's justice. I will investigate this matter myself and will personally end their lives."

"Lin Chuan, let the law handle them!" Tang Yumeng pleaded.

She knew she couldn't persuade Lin Chuan. After such a severe incident, if it had happened to her, she might also lose her rationality. Especially for a man as spirited and strong as Lin Chuan, she realized it was even more impossible for him to maintain his rationality. All Tang Yumeng could do was try her best to persuade Lin Chuan to think rationally.

"The law?" Lin Chuan asked, "Will the law sentence them to death?"

"That…" Tang Yumeng looked embarrassed and said, "The international community recommends abolishing the death penalty, so the nation is particularly strict about it…"

"That's enough." Lin Chuan smiled, "If the law cannot give me justice, I must seek it myself. I can't waste time on lawsuits; hence, I must resolve this matter in my own way. Even thieves have their code; those in the underworld must use methods of the underworld to settle issues."

Tang Yumeng thought for a long time, then finally she sighed and said, "This time… I support you!"

"Sister…" Lin Chuan looked at her moved, saying, "Thank you for your support."

"I understand your feelings," Tang Yumeng seriously looked at Lin Chuan and said, "That's why I support you. Perhaps you're right, murder for a life, a debt for repayment. The world always needs some people to act justly. I hope you're that person!"

Zhou Kai hurriedly purchased a large number of items from the ritual store, and not just that, he also hired several workers, prepared to break open the chemical barrel.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan immediately stopped them.

"I'll handle this myself," Lin Chuan declared.

"Brother Chuan, let the workers do it," Zhou Kai said, "The concrete has already hardened, we need professional tools."

"I have my own way," Lin Chuan stated.

After saying this, he used a cutting machine to open the chemical barrel, then slowly cut through the concrete blocks, changing blades several times. Because the concrete was so thick, he had to carefully cut it and peel it off bit by bit. Fearing any damage to his mother's remains, Lin Chuan could only peel it off manually. This ultimately resulted in his hands being bloody and mangled.

Tang Yumeng and Zhou Rui watching this felt extremely heartbroken.

"Brother Chuan, let me do it," Zhou Kai said.

"Go away!" Lin Chuan pushed Zhou Kai away angrily, shouting, "This is something only I can do."

The crowd fell silent.

While everyone felt helpless about the situation, everyone being human wanted to help Lin Chuan, to share some of his pain. However, Lin Chuan didn't need anyone's help and bore the agony and pressure alone. When someone is pushed too hard, it might break them, much like a tightly drawn bowstring, stretched too far can break the bow itself.
