With two pills administered, Lin Xiao swiftly used bandages to secure Zheng Aijia's body and splint his bones. All his bones had been shattered and would require surgery to remove fragments, followed by the medicinal properties to stimulate regeneration and growth.
Now, he needed to be taken to the hospital for slow recovery.
After the person was taken away, the grey armor of killing intent that had formed around Lin Xiao dissipated, and his eyes finally returned to normal.
"Lin Xiao, what was that just now..." Zheng Jianguo finally voiced his question.
In that state earlier, although Lin Xiao had remained calm, there was an aura of death surrounding him that deterred anyone from approaching.
Only now did Lin Xiao seem to have returned to his senses.
Zheng Aimin and Zheng Aiguo, the two brothers, also let out a sigh of relief.
"I almost lost control of my emotions. At the last moment, I slammed on the brakes," Lin Xiao said, looking at his hands. He too breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling just now was peculiar. He was filled with rage, even an impulse to destroy everything in his path, but at the very last moment, the image of Xun'er appeared in his mind.
Her sweet cry of "Daddy" instantly brought back his reason.
As his reason returned, he also discovered something different about himself. The killing intent felt like a domain he could control. He knew that ordinary people could not withstand such killing intent for more than a few seconds. He immediately recalled all of it, only to find it could be compressed around him, forming something like armor.
"Oh..."
Zheng Jianguo nodded, not entirely understanding.
"Lin Xiao, just now... what happened to my third brother?" Zheng Aimin eagerly asked his question.
He had heard it all very clearly.
Lin Xiao had given him a chance to say his last words, only to be met with his third brother's furious curses, as if he were willing to drag the entire Zheng family down with him in a suicidal explosion.
Putting himself in Lin Xiao's shoes, Zheng Aimin was certain he would have cut his third brother into a thousand pieces.
Yet, Lin Xiao had held back and was now treating his third brother.
"He did it on purpose."
Lin Xiao's expression was grim. Sometimes he found his usual calmness to be so profound that it annoyed him; he could actually restrain himself from killing Zheng Aijia.
"On purpose?"
"Yes, he wanted to make me lose my mind and cause chaos," Lin Xiao guessed why Zheng Aijia had acted that way. "If I had caused chaos, all of you brothers, Old Zheng, and even everyone in this building would have died."
"The capital would have seen many deaths."
No one understood better than Lin Xiao what would happen when he lost control.
The image of his daughter flashed in his mind again.
Since meeting Xun'er, he found his emotions becoming more stable.
"And as I said, if he spoke like that, there must be someone behind him. Whether he was forced or that person gave him enough benefits to make him act this way even at the end of his life," Lin Xiao fell into thought.
What could Zheng Aijia have set his sights on?
