Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 688 I Can’t Sleep
Lin Ke pondered for a moment and decided to simply explain the matter to Uncle Lin so as not to worry him.

"Uncle Lin, this is what happened..." Lin Ke briefly told Uncle Lin what had happened. Of course, he concealed the fact that Meng Ming wanted to kidnap Wang Xinxin.

After listening to Lin Ke's story, Uncle Lin frowned and asked worriedly, "Is it really just like that?"

Lin Ke nodded and said, "It's really just like that, Uncle Lin, don't worry."

Uncle Lin looked at Lin Ke's sincere eyes and finally chose to believe him. He sighed and said, "That's good, that's good. I hope you are all right."

"Uncle Lin, I'm sorry to have made you worry." Lin Ke said.

"That's good, that's good." Uncle Lin waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

"Okay, Uncle Lin, you should go to bed early too." Lin Ke said.

Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin returned to the room. Wang Xinxin looked at Lin Ke and asked, "Lin Ke, are you really okay?"

Lin Ke smiled and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." Lin Ke said.

Wang Xinxin nodded, said nothing more, and lay down to rest.

Lin Ke lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Meng Ming's hideous face kept appearing in his mind.

He knew that the matter was not over yet and Meng Ming would definitely not let it go.

Lin Ke secretly clenched his fists and swore in his heart that if Meng Ming dared to provoke him again, he would never let him off easily.

The dim room was filled with a strong smell of medicinal oil.

Meng Ming was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. There were several shocking bloodstains crisscrossing his back. Those were the "masterpiece" left by Lin Ke.

Meng's mother sat by the bed, dipped a cotton swab in medicinal wine, and carefully applied it to Meng Ming's wound.

"Hiss..." The medicinal wine touched the wound, causing a burning pain. Meng Ming couldn't help but take a breath.

"Gently, gently! It hurts so much!" Meng Ming yelled angrily.

Mother Meng was so frightened that her hands trembled. She quickly put down the cotton swab and looked at her son distressedly: "Why are you so careless? He is so cruel. Lin Ke is really too much!"

Meng Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment: "Mom, you don't know how arrogant that boy is. He actually dared to attack me. I must make him pay the price!"

"Son, don't do anything rash!" Meng's mother panicked when she heard this and quickly tried to dissuade him, "Lin Ke is not an ordinary person. He is a big star. If you touch him, we will be in big trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful he is, he is just an actor!" Meng Ming said nonchalantly, "I don't believe that I can't kill him!"

"You..." Meng's mother wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted impatiently by Meng Ming.

"Alright, stop talking! I know what's going on!" Meng Ming waved his hands impatiently, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes, "I will make Lin Ke regret provoking me!"

"You...what do you want to do?" When Meng's mother looked at her son's appearance, she felt a bad premonition in her heart.

"What? I want to ruin his reputation!" Meng Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I want him to have a taste of what happens when he offends me!"

"Son, don't mess around!" Mother Meng was so anxious that she almost cried, "You can't beat him, and we can't afford to offend him!"

"That's enough!" Meng Ming sat up suddenly, grabbed his mother's arm, and shouted, "Can you stop encouraging others and destroying your own prestige? I am your son!"

Meng's mother was frightened by Meng Ming's sudden anger. She looked at her son with a hideous face as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Son, you..." "What's wrong with me? I became like this because of Lin Ke!" Meng Ming roared, "If it weren't for him, how could I become like this now?"

"But……"

"No buts!" Meng Ming stood up suddenly, pushed his mother away, and walked out angrily.

"Son, where are you going?" Meng's mother hurriedly chased after him, but only saw Meng Ming's back as he walked away.

Meng's mother sat on the ground weakly, tears streaming down her face.

She knew that her son had changed, becoming unfamiliar and frightening to her.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with all the farm specialties.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms is fragrant, the chicken is tender and the mushrooms are smooth.

The braised fish pieces are golden in color, the fish meat is delicious and the sauce is rich.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are juicy green, have a refreshing taste and carry the fragrance of earth.

Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin both ate with relish; this was the first hot meal they had after falling into the water.

"Uncle Lin, your cooking skills are amazing. The food is better than those in the big restaurants in the city!" Lin Ke gave a thumbs up and praised while eating.

"Yes, Uncle Lin, the fish you cooked is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious fish!" Wang Xinxin also echoed.

"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more. You city people usually eat too much delicacies from land and sea. It's a good idea to change your taste by eating farm food occasionally." Uncle Lin said with a smile, "This fish is what I just caught from the river this morning. It's very fresh!"

"No wonder it tastes so good!" Wang Xinxin said with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle Lin, do you know when we can have telephone calls in the village?" Lin Ke put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Call?" Uncle Lin was stunned for a moment. "Why, you want to make a phone call?"

"Yes, our cell phones fell into the river and broke, so we wanted to report to our family that we were safe," Lin Ke explained.

"This..." Uncle Lin looked embarrassed. "I don't know. It has been raining heavily for several days. The signal tower in the village was damaged by lightning. Now the whole village has no signal. I don't know when it can be repaired."

"Ah? What should I do?" Wang Xinxin was immediately anxious when she heard this. "My parents don't know what happened to me yet. They must be very worried!"

"Yeah, if my agent can't contact me, he'll probably call the police." Lin Ke was also a little helpless.

"This..." Uncle Lin looked at their anxious expressions and felt a little sorry. "How about this? I'll go to the town tomorrow to ask when the signal tower can be repaired."

"This is the only way." Lin Ke sighed and said.

"By the way, Lin Ke, didn't you go to borrow a cell phone from Meng Ming? Did you get it?" Uncle Lin suddenly remembered something and said.

"Meng Ming?" Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's not bother him."

Lin Ke did not tell Uncle Lin what happened between him and Meng Ming.

He didn't want to worry the old man.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?" Uncle Lin looked at Lin Ke's expression, seemed to have guessed something, and asked.
