Can't Let Go novel Chapter 42

　　When Linda Yun reached Austral City, it was already over 9 o'clock in the night.

　　She didn't even have time to rest, and headed directly towards the hospital.

　　"Auntie..." As soon as Linda Yun ran to the corridor, she saw Kuis mother sitting in the corridor.

　　Mrs. Fang hastened to stand up on seeing Linda Yun, "Nian..."

　　"Auntie, where is Kui? how is she doing?" Linda Yun was quite nervous.

　　Mrs. Fang burst into tears at once, "The operation has been performed...She hasn't come to yet."

　　Linda Yun seemed to have missed a heartbeat, " What do you mean by she hasn't come to after an operation? What's up?"

　　Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears, " Those bums came to pull down our house. You know how hot-tempered Kui is. She played against those guys directly, and her head was hit by sticks."

　　"What do you mean pulling down your house? Have they torn down place where you sold fruits?"

　　"Yes, it was rumored that the place is to be acquired, but before we vendors had signed our agreement, those guys came for forced demolition with rascals. The fruits were all smashed. My husband is now still watching there!"

　　"Why not call the police?"Linda Yun asked her hastily.

　　Mrs. Fang shook her head, "Wouldnt the police know it if the demolition is fair and square?"Then, she wiped her tears, " Birds of a feather flock together!"

　　"Who are they? Who acquired it? Who is so capable?"

　　Auntie looked at her; she opened up her mouth, but held back the words that sprang to her lips.

　　Linda Yun slightly frowned, and seemed to have detected something from her facial expressions, so she asked subconsciously, " It is someone I know, isn't it?"

　　Mrs. Fang remained silent, and looked sad.

　　Linda Yun hastened to grab her hand and said, "Tell me, who is it?"

　　On hearing it, Mrs. Fang looked at her, her eyes flickered, and finally she said, "It is your dad!"

　　Linda Yun gasped, James Yun?

　　"Is it he who wants to acquire your parcel of land?"

　　"Yes." Mrs. Fang's tears fell again, "Nian, you also know that Uncle Fang has been disabled all the time, depending on selling fruits to make ends meet. How could they demolish it so casually? How can we live on without our land? Kui was mad, she called your villa and talked to your dad, wishing he could reconsider or wait for a while, so that we can take our time. But your dad..."

　　She couldn't continue.

　　Linda Yun already knew the outcome.

　　James Yun could be indifferent to the tragedies of Linda Yun and her mum, not to mention Kui who had no relations with them in whatever way.

　　"Auntie, wait for me, I'll get an explanation for you." After it, she grabbed her bag and walked outside without turning back.

　　"Nian, where are you going?" Mrs. Fang asked.

　　Linda Yun turned around and said, "If Kui is awake, ask her to wait for me, and I'll come here again!"

　　After it, she started to run quickly.

　　Linda Yun could bear her fathers torture whatsoever.

　　But Kui was her only friend.

　　Their family had been helping her a lot these years, or else, Linda Yun and her mum would have been depleted a long time ago.

　　This time, it was her turn to protect them!

　　When Linda Yun returned home, it was Feng, a maid, who opened the door.

　　She looked at Linda Yun and frowned, "...my...lady...?"

　 She was still wearing a luxury dress bought for her by Richard Qu, so that Feng was somehow not sure.

　　Linda Yun didn't want to waste time with her, and went straight to the lobby.

　　In the living room, she didn't see James Yun. There were only several wealthy ladies chatting and joking with Maria Gu.

　　Linda Yun glanced at her coldly, and went inside directly.

　　The wealthy ladies looked at each other, and then looked at Maria Gu with confusion.

　　"This is Linda Yun. Mary is on holiday with Mr. Huo. Maria Gu said hastily.

　　The ladies nodded, as if they had not understood until hearing it from her.

　　Linda Yun walked inside, and found out that James Yun was playing mahjong with three other men of roughly the same age.

　　"Hey, Mary." One of the middle-aged men saw her and called her with a smile at once.

　　Linda Yun didn't know him, so she naturally couldn't make any response.

　　James Yun turned around and saw the aloofness in Linda Yun's eyes, so he frowned, "Aren't you supposed to be on holiday with your elder sister? How come you are back so soon?"

　　"I want to have a good talk with you!"

　　The other three middle-aged men were a little stunned at the table, and then they looked at James Yun.

　　"You can talk freely here. These are all your uncles, make yourself at home!"

　　On seeing it, she came straight to the point, "You have acquired the food market in the eastern suburbs of Austral City, haven't you?"

　　James Yun was still playing, "What? Is there anything wrong?"

　　"Your acquisition was too abrupt, they were not ready yet. Besides, how could you demolish forcefully, do you know that my friend was hospitalized because of those rascals? She is still comatose!"

　　On hearing this, James Yun frowned.

　　Then, he questioned his daughter standing next to him, looking quite unhappy, "I don't need you to tell me what to do?" He raised his voice, "Moreover, they are greedy! They are never satisfied! And, do your friends want to extort you?"

　　"Do poor people have no self-esteem in your mind, and do you think poor people have the only preoccupation with money? Do you know how many years they have been working there and what great efforts and care they have devoted to the place? Your simple order of demolition doesn't even give them a chance of panting. You are forcing them to commit suicide!"

　　"You are Linda Yun, right? Your dad is doing this for the sake of your family and a better life for you in the future, isn't he?" One of the men hastened to say.
