Chapter 199: Liu family law

Nana gave it some thought and said, “Although I personally do not like violence and bloodshed, but if Jinhai has dirtied his hands in blood, then there surely will be a grave reason for that.”

Yukira frowned. “Why do you say that?”

“Because I said that he is sharp and wise. To be able to stand at the position he is in now, he must have seen all sides of people. He must have experienced a lot. He will not be unreasonable. So, if there comes a need to shed blood, I’m sure he must have no choice other than that. He wouldn’t unnecessarily harm anybody.”

Yukira was in serious thought.

Nana said. “Murder is the last thing that you are compelled to do in any situation. Let’s say if tomorrow somebody tries to harm you both, do you think I would keep quiet?”

Yukira looked at her in shock.

The reverse is also true.

If somebody tried to hurt his sister, then he would definitely make that person pay back twofold!

So, did that Huian do something that was beyond brother-in-law’s tolerance? If that is the case, then the divorce cannot be the reason. He had already married Nee-chan.

I will have to ask brother-in-law!

Nana was lying on the bed, brooding over something when Jinhai quietly came and hugged her from behind.

He gently kissed the nape of her neck. “What are you thinking?”

Nana turned in his embrace and looked at him. “This question may be out of the blue, but have you ever…killed anybody?”

Jinhai slightly stiffened. He was expressionless, but Nana still managed to find her answer.

“You don’t have to be nervous. I’m not going to hate you.”

“Really?”

“En.”

He stared straight at her. “Yes, I have.”

Nana kind of expected the answer but was still a little surprised. “Like who?”

“People like traitors who betray our family. There have been a few times when our enemies have tried to set moles in Liu Corps to steal information. If they become successful, it can be detrimental to our company. They can use it against us to destroy us.”

“I see…”

“There is only one outcome of betrayal. Death. It’s the same for Liu family guards. We record everything regarding their lives. If they try to harm their master, then their entire family is annihilated along with them.”

She widened her eyes. “The family too? But aren’t they innocent?”

“Yes. It is cruel, but this is our law. We cannot afford that in the future, any family member comes back to take revenge on us. Anyway, they are not any kind either. A long time back, a rival of Dad’s had kidnapped Mom one day.”

She was stunned. “What?”

“Yes. Dad had won a huge deal at that time, and that man was already on the verge of bankruptcy. The deal could have helped him revive his losing company, but Dad won the deal. That bankruptcy was also his fault. He had illegal dealings that the investors came to know about, and they started pulling back their money. He utterly lost and was humiliated. So, driven crazy by revenge, he kidnapped Mom.”

“Then what happened? How was she saved?” Nana was getting anxious.

Jinhai smiled. “Well, he is Liu Hai. He deployed the whole underworld to find Mom, and within only twenty minutes, they traced her location and got there.”

Her eyes sparkled. “Only twenty minutes? That fast? Uncle Liu…I mean, Dad is so cool.”

He frowned. “If it was me, I could have done that in only ten minutes.”

She giggled. “Are you being competitive? He is your father.”

“I don’t like you praising anybody else. You should only praise me. Your husband is competent.”

“Yes, yes, my husband is the best.”

“En.” He was satisfied. “Mom had some minor cuts and bruises here and there, but that was enough for Dad to flip out. He didn’t even flinch when he sliced that man’s neck.”

Nana shuddered.

“The rest was obvious. Dad ordered to kill his entire family. Nobody was spared, not even his pregnant wife. He was also a part of the underworld, so he knew the rules and the result. The enmity was between him and Dad. Did that man think why to drag his innocent wife in between this and harm her?”

Nana couldn’t imagine the cheerful, sometimes childish Liu Hai to have such a dangerous side.

But Jinhai was right.

Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “Liu’s never forgive and forget. If the deed is done, then no matter how much they beg for mercy, they are not let off. They have to pay the price whether they belong to the underworld or not.” Just like Huian, he silently added.

She sighed. “I understand. I won’t stop you.”

He smiled. “By the way…” he brushed his thumb against her cheek, “why the sudden curiosity?”

“Oh, during dinner, Yukira asked me if I would mind if you had ever killed anybody. So, I thought to ask.”

“….I see.”

‘My brother-in-law hasn’t learned his lesson now, has he?’

They chatted a little more, and Nana soon fell asleep.

Jinhai kissed the side of her temple and got up without disturbing her and headed out.

On the way, Liu Hai met him. “Ah, my son.” He smiled. “It’s a beautiful night, isn’t it? Let’s have a drink together. It’s been a long time.”

Jinhai silently stared at him. “Sure.”
