Chapter 151 - 150: Endless Humiliation

Lin Aoxue had pleaded for the Lin Family out of filial piety and familial love; she didn’t want to drag the whole family down with her. But Lin Guodong was so terrified of dying that he shirked all the blame onto her. His actions truly chilled her to the bone.

Back on the cruise ship, when Lin Guodong had sold her to Xiao Ran, Lin Aoxue had already been disappointed enough in her father. It was only later, when Mrs. Lin personally came to the hospital to pick her up and forced Lin Guodong to apologize, that she had agreed to return to the Lin Family.

Now, Lin Guodong’s words had undoubtedly broken her heart all over again. She forced a bitter smile and slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, the panic in her eyes was completely gone. Instead, she looked at Xiao Feng with absolute composure.

"I, Lin Aoxue, take full responsibility for my own actions. Tell me what it will take for you to let my family go."

Xiao Feng stared into her eyes with a playful smirk. "How about this: strip naked in front of everyone and sleep with every single one of my subordinates. Do that, and I’ll let the rest of the Lin Family go."

The blood instantly drained from Lin Aoxue’s face. Such humiliation was far more cruel than simply asking her to die.

"Then kill me," she said decisively, without a shred of hesitation.

"Damn it, Lin Aoxue, stop acting so high and mighty! Sleeping with these guys is better than dragging our whole family down to die with you!"

"Exactly! If you won’t take them off, we’ll strip them off for you!"

Seeing Lin Aoxue refuse, Lin Jiaxing and Lin Yexing immediately hopped mad. Without another word, they lunged at her and began tearing at her clothes.

"What are you doing? Don’t touch me! Get away!" Lin Aoxue trembled as she fought back, never expecting her own cousins to treat her like this.

SLAP!

Lin Guodong struck Lin Aoxue across the face. The sound was crisp and resoundingly loud.

Her head snapped to the side, her eyes filled with shock. A bright red handprint blossomed on her pale cheek.

"Dad, what is the meaning of this?" She stiffly turned her head back to stare at him. "Do you want me to do it too?"

"I gave you life and raised you all these years! Isn’t that worth you making a sacrifice just once?" Lin Guodong’s eyes were bloodshot. He didn’t want to die; he hadn’t lived long enough yet.

In this moment, so-called familial love seemed utterly pathetic. Forced to choose between his own life and his daughter’s virtue, Lin Guodong decisively chose the former.

Lin Aoxue tilted her head back and squeezed her eyes shut, biting her lip to keep herself from crying.

"Dad, back on that cruise ship, you already sold me to Xiao Ran once. And today, you’ve abandoned me yet again.

"It’s true that you gave me life and raised me to adulthood, but you are no longer fit to be my father. From this day forward, I, Lin Aoxue, sever all ties with you."

These words struck a nerve. Lin Guodong knew full well that what he was doing was completely devoid of conscience. But to survive, he had no other choice. Besides, in his view, as a member of the Lin Family, she ought to make this sacrifice for their sake. Severing their relationship? What an unfilial daughter!

Flying into a shameful rage, he raised his hand and delivered another slap, harshly scolding, "You have the Lin Family’s blood flowing in your veins! You will be a member of the Lin Family until the day you die! I am your father, and you must obey me!"

Lin Aoxue couldn’t hold it back anymore; her tears streamed down her face. What kind of father would force his own daughter to do something like this?

"Well? Have you thought it through? Are you going to do it or not?" Watching the Lin Family at each other’s throats, Xiao Feng smiled smugly. He leaned back in his chair and asked casually, "My patience is limited. If you want to save the Lin Family’s lives, hurry up and take your clothes off. Otherwise, I’ll kill one person every ten minutes."

The man was a pure demon, speaking the most ruthless words in the breeziest of tones.

"Xiao Feng, you’re an absolute animal!" Lin Aoxue yelled angrily. She had completely given up on the Lin Family. Even if she refused Xiao Feng, Lin Guodong, Lin Jiaxing, and the others would just force her to do that disgusting act anyway.

Propping his chin up with one hand, Xiao Feng smiled playfully. "I’ll ask one last time. Are you going to do it or not?"

Fighting back the tears pooling in her eyes, Lin Aoxue met his gaze and replied, word by word, "Never."

As soon as the word left her lips, the expressions on Lin Guodong’s and Lin Jiaxing’s faces changed entirely.

"She will! She’ll do it!" Lin Guodong blurted out in a panic. He kicked Lin Aoxue squarely in the abdomen, then turned to Lin Jiaxing and Lin Yexing. "Jiaxing, Yexing, strip her clothes off!"

Lin Aoxue cried out in pain as she crashed heavily to the floor. Clutching her stomach, she glared at Lin Guodong with eyes full of hatred. "Lin Guodong! Are you truly my father?"

The more miserable she appeared, the more feverish Xiao Feng’s gaze became, revealing an unconcealable sick pleasure.

Lin Aoxue couldn’t help but shiver. There was obviously something wrong with Xiao Feng’s mind! He liked abusing people; the more they suffered, the happier he was.

Watching Lin Jiaxing and the other man approach her, Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet. She couldn’t stay here any longer; right now, the Lin family home was a living hell. Enduring the pain, she bolted toward the main doors with all her might.

THUD!

She barely made it two steps before a bodyguard grabbed her by the hair and violently hurled her back into the center of the living room.

The harsh fall made Lin Aoxue feel as though her bones had shattered. A massive clump of her hair had been ripped out. Before she could even try to get up, Lin Jiaxing and Lin Yexing brutally pinned her limbs down.

Staring up at her deeply apathetic cousins, a profound terror seized her heart. She twisted her head to cry out to Mrs. Lin for help.

"Grandma! Help me! Please help me!"

Mrs. Lin was her last shred of hope. If even she refused to help, then Lin Aoxue was truly finished.

Seconds ticked by. Finally, Mrs. Lin turned her head away.

Her silence snuffed out the final spark of hope in Lin Aoxue’s heart. She felt as though she had been plunged into an ice cellar, freezing to her very core. These familiar family members, relatives who had been by her side for over twenty years, were now pushing her into the abyss with their own hands.

"No, don’t! I hate you! I hate all of you!"

Accompanied by her furious screams, a loud RIIIP echoed through the room as Lin Jiaxing and Lin Yexing tore her outer coat apart.

Summoning every ounce of her strength, Lin Aoxue kicked Lin Jiaxing squarely between the legs.

Lin Jiaxing shrieked in agony and rolled on the floor, clutching his crotch.

Free from one person’s restraint, it became much easier for Lin Aoxue to fight back. She opened her mouth and sank her teeth viciously into Lin Yexing’s arm. Hissing in pain, Lin Yexing let go of her hands.

Having regained her freedom, Lin Aoxue wised up this time. Instead of trying to escape, she snatched a fruit knife from a nearby table and lunged desperately at Xiao Feng.

She was putting her life on the line. Even if she couldn’t kill him, stabbing him once would be enough.

However, she had underestimated the situation. Before she could even brush the fabric of Xiao Feng’s clothes, she was sent flying through the air by a brutal strike from the Three Great Vajras.
