Chapter 49 Blood Debt Repaid (Middle)
"Mom, I have something to take care of, I'll be back soon. Let Director Huang take care of you first. I'll come back to pick you up after I've finished my business."
Chen Pengpeng left the poor village in C City without looking back. Tang Qiu watched him disappear into the distance, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't unwilling to stop Chen Pengpeng, but she knew her son's character - once he set his mind on something, no one could persuade him otherwise.
"Be careful, buddy..."
Tang Qiu stood still and whispered a sentence. She didn't ask for anything, she just hoped that her son would return safely.
At this time, the Lin family was in a mess like porridge. Fan Qi knew that Huang Dawei was looking for him on Man Street, and he didn't dare to leave the Lin family half a step. He knew that once he went out, he would be caught by Huang Dawei's men, and at that time, even if he didn't die, he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Father-in-law! Can't you think of a solution? We can't just stay here and be slaughtered, can we? In the end, we'll all die in this place!"
Fan Qi paced back and forth in the living room of Lin's house, unable to hold it in anymore, and spoke to Lin Zidao.
"Our Lin family is finished. I always felt that the poor vegetable seller was not an ordinary person, but I kept doubting his ability. In itself, it's a small matter that can be dismissed, but we repeatedly tried to put him in a desperate situation, perhaps this is retribution!"
Lin Zidao sighed and said that he knew the Lin family's destruction was only a matter of time, it was just a question of how long it would take. Although he had prepared to face death, when Lin Zidao returned, he also arranged for some retired soldiers to be hired as guards, saying that no matter what, he wanted to preserve the Lin family's bloodline and didn't want it to end with his generation.
"Dad, he's just a poor vegetable vendor himself, what is there for us to be afraid of!"
Lin was injured and since being taken back to the hospital, Lin Zidao has not let him out of the house, not even allowing him to go to school. This makes him very frustrated. Hiding at home all day makes him feel depressed. Now hearing his old man say that Chen Pengpeng is not a simple person, he feels uncomfortable in his heart. In his eyes, Chen Pengpeng is just a poor vegetable seller.
"Bang!"
A crisp slap echoed throughout the living room, and Fan Qi saw that his father-in-law was really angry and didn't dare say anything more. After all, where did he have the right to speak as a refugee? Lin Shangren's sister, Lin Weiwei, and his mother rushed forward to hold back Lin Zidao when they saw him hit Lin Shangren for the first time.
"Don't drag me down today! It's all because I've spoiled him, and you're all the same! You always give in to him! If it weren't for his words, how would our Lin family end up like this? Unfilial son!"
Lin himself was pulled by his wife and daughter, he pointed at Lin with a trembling finger. He was too excited, he couldn't believe that the empire he had worked hard to build was destroyed by this unfilial son. How could he not be furious?
"Dad, you actually hit me for a poor vegetable vendor? He is indeed a poor vegetable vendor, am I wrong?"
Lin covered his painful cheek with his hand and said in an unjust tone.
"Unfilial son! Are you trying to drive me mad? Do you know what that Chen Pengpeng is all about? I went to invite the expert from the Murong family to his house, wanting to eradicate him completely. In the end, those people from the Murong aristocratic family all died, even the elder of the Murong family was injured! You think he's just a poor vegetable seller that simple? Unfilial son, I won't kill you today!"
Lin Zidao originally wanted to go forward and slap Lin again, but was held back by Lin Wei and his own wife. He became more and more angry, he couldn't believe that his unfilial son still didn't know how to repent even at the moment of life and death. He really wanted to slap him to death with one palm! It's really infuriating him to death.
"No way, I believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
Lin was shaking his head in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Chen Pengpeng, a poor vegetable seller, had such a powerful backing. If he really had such a strong background, why did he jump off the cliff when he forced him to do so? Why didn't he take revenge on him? This made Lin really unable to understand and also unwilling to believe that Chen Pengpeng had such a formidable backstage!
"You ungrateful son! Do you think your old man would make up a story for no reason to deceive you? At this late hour, you still don't reflect on yourself?"
Lin Zidao was panting when he spoke, Lin Shangren had really made him furious. He was blaming himself for not disciplining him well in the past, now his own Lin family was going to be ruined. His hair turned white overnight, facing such a son, he wanted to strangle him to death directly, but he was also his own flesh and blood, and couldn't bear to do so.
"Uh... can we still ask the Mu Rong family for help?"
Fan Qi spoke cautiously, and as soon as Lin Zidao mentioned the Murong family, he immediately asked. This is the last trump card, if they even abandon this big tree, then they really can only wait for death.
"Hmph! You still have the nerve to say that, our plan has completely failed. The Murong family won't help us anymore. When I went to visit them, they said it was the last time! And when I went to kill Chen Peng's family, I had no idea they had an extraordinary master protecting them! Many people from the Murong family were killed or injured, and they still want me to give an explanation. What can I possibly explain to them?"
Lin Zidao hummed and told Fan Qi about the failure of their plan, recounting it from start to finish, also making him understand that they were now like pigs in a pen waiting for slaughter.
"It's all over! It's all over!"
Fan Qi listened to Lin Zidao's words, and his whole body softened and fell onto the sofa. The current him no longer had the former arrogance and domineering air, only a dejected and dispirited look. The entire living room was silent for a moment, with no one saying another word.
"Rumble, rumble!"
Suddenly, the entire Lin family villa shook violently. Everyone inside let out a scream, and the Lin family was in chaos. Many people tried to escape from the villa but were killed by an invisible wave of energy. They didn't understand what was happening. Above the villa, there was a boy with blood-red eyes, an extremely cold expression, yet handsome, floating in mid-air, his hands constantly waving the invisible wave of energy that killed those who escaped from the villa.
"What's going on? What's happening?"
Lin Zidao shouted loudly in the living room.
"Master, master be careful! Come and hide under the bed with us quickly, or you'll get hit by something!"
Lin Zidao's wife saw him staggering back and forth in the hall and anxiously asked him.
"Yes, Dad, hurry up and hide over here, it's safer here!"
Lin Wei said at the same time.
"Hurt someone? You'd better go and bring your dad in quickly! What are you still hiding here for, stupidly? You don't even care about your own old man?"
Fan Qi's legs trembled as he spoke to Lin Shangren. He didn't want Lin Zidao to die like that, otherwise his own chances of survival would be gone.
"Dad, give it to me!"
Lin Shangren heard Fan Qi's words and immediately crawled out from under the bed to Lin Zidao. Then the two of them rolled on the ground and rolled back under the bed. Their appearance was particularly comical, if someone else saw it, they would definitely laugh their teeth off! Is this still the high-and-mighty chairman of the Lin family? Is this still the great young master Lin? Is this still the arrogant Fan Qi? But when faced with danger, he's just a turtle trying to save his own life!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The cries of agony made Lin Zidao and the others under the bed tremble with fear. The cries continued for a long time before stopping, and the rumbling sounds also disappeared. Only then did Lin Zidao and the others dare to come out from under the narrow bed where they had been squeezed together.
"Dad, it seems like the shaking has stopped. What's going on? Did an earthquake happen?"
Lin was injured and crawled out from under the bed, then asked Lin Zidao.
"How did I know? Those miserable cries just now, it seemed like they were smashed by something!"
Fan Qi said this and felt a chill in his heart. His body still uncontrollably shook a few times, the voices just now really made him feel afraid.
I hope so!
Lin Zidao replied with a lifeless tone. He didn't know if he was speaking to Fan Qi or himself. Lin Zidao's eyes were dull and his gaze was vacant, his spirit crushed.
"Haha, I didn't think you guys were still alive? No matter, soon I'll personally send you on your way!"
Suddenly a figure floated in mid-air above the living room, its blood-red eyes staring fixedly at them, an evil smile spreading across its face.
"You... you're Chen Pengpeng!"
Lin Shangren saw the person floating in mid-air and exclaimed with a terrified face.
"Ah! You... don't come near, this has nothing to do with me, they told me to catch you and take you to prison. You... go find them, I'm innocent!"
Fan Qi's heart was filled with fear as soon as he heard that it was his own life that Chen Pengpeng had been trying to end. At first, he also knew how formidable Chen Pengpeng was, but he thought Chen Pengpeng only knew some basic martial arts moves. Now, seeing Chen Pengpeng floating freely in mid-air, even a fool would know that his abilities far exceeded their expectations.
"Haha, I didn't expect that my old classmate would have such a good memory! I've also never forgotten about you, and now I'm here to visit you today!"
Chen Pengpeng's evil laughter echoed. Every time he laughed, Lin was more frightened, and he finally realized that Chen Pengpeng was not as simple as a poor vegetable seller, but it was too late! Upon hearing Chen Pengpeng's words, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"Can you spare my family? Those things were all done by me, take my life if you want, I beg of you to spare my family, can't you?"
Lin Zidao finally woke up from that dull and lifeless gaze.
"Haha, asking me to spare you? When you had people kill my mother, did you ever think that she was just an old lady? She was innocent, why were you so ruthless and cruel as to take her life?"
Chen Pengpeng coldly smiled at Lin Zidao and said, "Now he despised them even more. When they killed people without batting an eyelid, but when it was their turn to be killed, they came to beg for mercy from you. Is this world so unfair? In Chen Pengpeng's world, there is only one principle: blood debt must be repaid with blood!"
