Chapter Twenty-Four: The Four Great Families

  In a luxurious hospital room in City C, a patient wrapped up like a mummy, with a swollen head like a pig's. It gives people a feeling of wanting to laugh. Next to him stood a nagging woman, while on the other side was a middle-aged man with a furious face. At this moment, he was like a runaway, occasionally slapping the table.

  "Dad, you have to take charge for me! You must make sure that Chen Pengpeng is killed in the hospital!"

  The person wrapped like a mummy on the hospital bed spoke with difficulty.

  "Yes, just look at how badly the child was beaten. Are we, the Lin family, going to be bullied by a country bumpkin? If others find out about this, won't our family lose all face?"

  The woman chattered incessantly beside the middle-aged man.

  "Shut up! I have my own way of handling this! What business is it of yours, a meddling old woman?"

  The middle-aged man could no longer bear it and scolded loudly.

  "You... you, good one Lin Zidao! Your own son was beaten by someone, and you're still unmoved! You even tell me to shut up! Waaah, I'd rather die!"

  The woman started acting like a shrew.

  Lying in bed like a mummy was Lin Sun, the eldest son of the Lin family. And scolding like a shrew was Lin Sun's mother. Having a temper tantrum was Lin Zidao, the patriarch of the Lin family and Lin Sun's father. Lin Sun's mother saw her own son being beaten half to death, and she was heartbroken. Since marrying into the Lin family, she had never been spoken ill of by others, let alone bullied. But today, her son was beaten like this, how could she not be heartbroken? And it was done by a vegetable seller's family member who was riding roughshod over them, how could she swallow this insult? She would definitely make the person who injured her son suffer. Lin Zidao was also extremely angry, since he had climbed to his current position, many people looked up to him, but now he had suffered such humiliation, could he let Chen Pengpeng off easily? The answer was no.

  "Stop causing trouble for me! I'll strangle you to death! Don't need you to tell me, I will make that little brat die!"

  Lin Zidao said viciously and lit a Zhonghua cigarette, taking several fierce puffs.

  "Dad, you must get rid of him! He's really too arrogant. If he doesn't die, my life will be even more miserable!"

  Lin was afraid of hurting others, but more afraid of his own father, and would make Chen Pengan run away. He reminded him again.

  "You useless thing! Our Lin family has been shamed by you, and so many people can't even beat a poor little kid! What else are you good for?"

  Lin Zidao said with hatred for iron that refused to become steel.

  "Dad, you don't know..."

  Lin's hurtful words had barely left his lips when a barrage of rebukes came his way.

  "That's enough! You don't need to explain, your old man can handle things without you two worrying about it! That little brat has already gone into the police station, and I'll give your brother-in-law a call later. I bet he won't survive in prison!"

  Lin Zidao said loudly, throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and trampling it fiercely with his feet, then stormed out of the ward. He made a phone call outside.

  "Hey, Mei. Is Fan Qi around? I want to tell him to hurry up and get rid of that poor kid for me! Only then can I avenge my hatred."

  Lin Zidao hated the sound of his own voice.

  "Uh, Dad. Don't worry about it. An Qi is on his way to your place now and will take you to see how that poor kid died, daring to hit my brother, he must have eaten the heart of a leopard!"

  The woman replied viciously.

  "Oh? Is Fan Qi coming? Alright then, I'll wait for him at the hospital. That's it for now."

  Lin Zidao hung up the phone and his mood improved a lot instantly.

  The person called Lin Wei on the phone is actually Lisi's daughter, and also Lin Shangren's elder sister. As for Fan Qi, everyone should be able to guess who he is by now. He is the deputy director of C City, and also Lin Wei's husband.

  Before long, a police car stopped at the entrance of C City, and a slightly fat man got out. Lin Zidao saw the person coming and immediately went to greet him. This person was Fan Qi, the deputy director of C City.

  "My good son-in-law, you've finally arrived! This time, you must help your brother get revenge!"

  Lin Zidao complained as soon as he came up.

  "Father-in-law, rest assured, I came for this very reason. I will definitely make that poor kid die in prison, you can be at ease!"

  Fan Qi's way of doing things. Jokingly, as a deputy director of C City, it's not easy to get rid of a poor kid? If he can't even handle such a simple matter, then in the eyes of his father-in-law Lin Zidao, he is too embarrassing. He must show himself well no matter what.

  "Hmm, I've got my eyes on you. Let's go now. I'm getting impatient, and I want to see that winged kid of his. He actually dares to touch someone from the Lin family? I think he's tired of living."

  Lin Zidao said something quite overbearing.

  Back in the interrogation room of a police station in City C, Chen Peng and Huang Qingcheng's records were still ongoing. During the recording process, Huang Qingcheng learned that Chen Peng had fought back only for his brother, and it was also the other party who had struck first. However, those who had struck first had not been caught, but instead Chen Peng had been brought back. Huang Qingcheng was very angry about this, and she decided to help the handsome young man in simple clothes.

  In a luxurious living room of a suite in City C, a middle-aged man sat facing a stunningly beautiful girl. The two people seemed to be confronting each other.

  "Dad, if you don't rescue Chen Pengpeng, I'd rather die than get engaged to Yun Xiaofei and go to that so-called Aristocratic Huaxia University!"

  The girl's firm way.

  "Hum! Linlin, you've grown up to be so big and still don't understand things? Is it worth doing this for a poor little boy? The big tree of the Yun family is something I must hold onto. No matter what, you still have to listen to me!"

  A middle-aged man said with a stern expression.

  "Heh, Dad, do you think I'll be restrained by you? If you have someone bring out Chen Pengpeng, I won't agree to it. If anything happens to Chen Pengpeng, what you'll see is your daughter's corpse."

  The girl said resolutely with tears all over her face.

  "You... you... are you trying to drive me mad?! Fine! I'll agree to rescue him for you. But from now on, you're not allowed to see him again, and don't even think about getting entangled with him! If you disobey, I won't hesitate to make him disappear from this world! You know what kind of person your father is, and if I want to get rid of someone, it's as easy as swatting a fly!"

  A middle-aged man saw that his daughter was already dead set on it, and he could only go along with her wishes. If his own daughter really didn't think things through, then his own goals would be impossible to achieve. For the sake of his family's future development, he could only swallow his pride and compromise.

  "Alright! Dad, I promise you! But you have to keep your promise!"

  The girl bit her lips and said with tears in her eyes.

  "What I say, I will do. Wei Xia in Huaxia also has the right to speak."

  A middle-aged man exudes an overbearing aura, gazing out at the world with a majestic air. He brooks no encroachment from anyone; should someone trespass against him, he will trample them flat!

  The middle-aged man is Wei Xia, and the stunning girl is the school flower of Zhugeng High School, Wei Linlin. She is also one of our protagonist's girlfriends.

  Everyone should know that there are four families, namely: the Yun family, the Tang family, the Jia family, and the Wei family. The first of the four families is the Yun family, followed by the Tang family in second place, the Jia family in third place, and the Wei family in fourth place. The Yun family is the guardian family of China. Therefore, Yun Xiaofei, the grandson of the Yun family, is particularly arrogant and domineering, with the entire world under his control. As for why the Tang family ranks second, it's because the Yun family declared war on the Tang family to compete for the top spot, but the Tang family yielded without a fight. The reason behind this is unknown to everyone, and even now, the Tang family still doesn't know what direction to take. The Jia family is also shrouded in mystery, hiding deep in the mountains. Only the Wei family lives an ordinary life, but no one knows their true identity; if they did, it would stir up a lot of trouble. Their existence is based on the principle of "don't offend me and I won't offend you," and if someone offends them, they will retaliate doubly.

  In the depths of a mountain in C City, a beautiful girl, like an immortal fairy, flew through the mountains on her flying sword. If ordinary people saw this during the day, they would think that a fairy had descended to the mortal world. The girl flew around the mountain for a while before suddenly disappearing. This is not a difficult problem to understand. It's just that there was a superior being in this place who set up an illusionary barrier. The girl flew into a peak and inside, there was a palace that stood tall like a cloud family. On either side of the palace were two stone lions that looked incredibly lifelike. From afar, they looked like two divine beasts guarding the palace, so realistic! Looking at the hundred-meter-long palace, it was like an ancient imperial palace, leaving one breathless. The two large gates were tightly closed, and in front of them stood many ancient trees that seemed to touch the sky, making the entire palace look even more magnificent. The whole palace looked like a fairyland, leaving one in awe!

  A beautiful girl, as lovely as a fairy, alighted at the gate of the palace. She then made several obscure gestures with her hands towards the door, as if casting a spell on it. Strangely enough, the large gate seemed to recognize its master and slowly creaked open by itself. The girl stepped forward with light steps, entered the gate, and walked into the palace.

  "Sister, you're back? Master must have missed you so much! You haven't come back for such a long time. Brother, I've been thinking of you!"

  Suddenly a young boy with a pale face came out of the palace and said with deep feeling.

  "Brother, don't be so mushy, okay? You know I'm usually a quiet girl. I'm not suitable for you, why don't you find another girl instead? I believe you'll definitely find someone you like."

  The girl finished speaking and completely lowered her head. It was unclear whether she had directly refused the other person, fearing to see their expression, or felt embarrassed that these words came from her mouth.

  "Sister, don't you know my feelings for you? Why do you always have to reject me? This should be the tenth time you've rejected me. But I won't give up. I don't understand, even though I'm already in the later stages of spiritual cultivation, why can't you even spare a glance at me?"

  The little white face still doesn't give up.
