Time Through Time We Remain Untamed.

CHAPTER 66: MORE THAN ONE HINT

      
       2 and a half months passed by as each went ahead with their work though not all were up to par. Wuxian's hands shook as he opened up the pill bottle and downed a few of them. Lan Zhan's words had been true to an extent. They had just taken down one of Jin's closest acquaintance's casino which had effectively broken a contract between them. It had caused a whole riot and his crew had barely managed to get away. Anyway, during the fight, he had gotten another reactive episode and had almost gone too far. He had broken a poor man's skull across concrete and hadn't stopped battering him even when he was dead. It had taken 3 of his men to stop him from going completely psychotic and hammering a lifeless body. That wasn't the point of the mission.

     The more he spent time doing this...... things, the more he reverted back to his prison mental state and it made him lose his senses whenever they were in stimulating situations. He had already had 3 episodes and it wasn't getting better. They had to finish this before it all got worse-and it was soon going to end because they had dealt with all major target spots and now all that was left was the next presidential candidate conference in which they would fully expose Jin to the public and take a clear shot at him. Finish him once and for all. The meeting was happening in 2 weeks time. They had all the time to prepare as well as the fact that they had all of Jin's history and information. It was going to be brilliant.

     The school's cafeteria was full of noise as students rummaged through to find a place to eat. Sizhui and Jingyi searched for their missing friend Jin Ling only to find him in the corner most table, picking at his food. He had been acting weird, almost jumpy for the last few days almost as though he had a secret or something going on and it bothered them.

       "There you are! What's wrong now? You never pick at your food unless somethings going on. Come on spill!!" Jingyi attacked, sitting next to him.

   "What?! No! Nothing's wrong? Why would you think that? I am just not that hungry!!" Jin Ling stuttered as he avoided eye contact. Oh, he was definately hiding something.

   "Jin Ling, your left eye is twitching and it never twitches unless you're lying or nervous about something but whatever. We won't push it. I'm worried guys," Sizhui confessed, picking his noodles.

    "Really? About what?" Jingyi asked, mouth full of food. His appetite was as unaffected as it could be.

    "About Wei gege. It's been 8 months now since he left and although I'm a bit mad, I'm now more worried about him. Where is he? Is he alright? How does he live? Is he happy? Ok? I just wish I knew and I can't exactly ask Er ge about it. They don't talk about him at all. "

   " Ahh, me too. I honestly miss Wei gege. It doesn't feel the same without him. It would be nice to know where he was and why he left." Jingyi responded. The two went on for a while completely missing Jin Ling's very suspicious and awkward stance at every mention of Wei Wuxian's name.

   " Hey Jin Ling..... Are you ok? You're sweating now... " Sizhui pointed out causing Jin Ling to start shaking. This boy was struggling.

     "Jin Ling..... You better tell us what you know. Is it something to do with Wei gege?" Jingyi cornered just as Jin Ling started hiccuping.

   "IT IS!! TELL US RIGHT NOW!!" Sizhui demanded just as they both reached for him.

   "WHAT?! NO! I KNOW NOTHING!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!" Jin Ling jumped up but didn't get far as the other 2 got him.

    "Tell us what you know Jin Ling or this will get ugly," Jingyi warned as they attacked. He had nowhere to run. They got him good and Jin Ling didn't have a choice.
