I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"I was just one move behind, caught off guard by your deliberate strategy, and temporarily lost. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"What do you take the Lin family for?"

"With so many experts guarding you, how could you sneak into the Lin family home undetected, take Lin Yao away, and then storm into the backyard? That's something no ordinary person could do!"

"Wang Gu is such a proud man, he was unmoved by the great rewards I offered him, yet he willingly submits to your commands. If you were just an ordinary person, how could he possibly be so obedient?"

After calming down, Lin Yuan still had a sharp mind. He regretted not thinking things through sooner, which led him to lose his temper and attack Qin Ge, resulting in the loss of his leg.

Qin Ge has been calm and composed ever since he appeared, seemingly not taking the Lin family seriously at all.

Either he has his own confidence, or he's a fool; Lin Yuan is more inclined to believe the former.

Lin Yuan also had his own trump cards, but he felt that Qin Ge might be a variable. If he could win him over, even if it was just temporarily turning enemies into friends, it would be good.

The Lin family experts who were ordered to surround Qin Ge stopped their movements after hearing Lin Yuan's words, and their eyes became more wary.

While feeling nervous, Granny Chen was secretly pleased, inexplicably experiencing a sense of triumph.

After meeting Qin Ge at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in Donghai, she suffered a great injustice, which Han Xiuyun brought up many times, calling her a good-for-nothing.

She knew very well that she might not be that strong, but Qin Ge's strength was truly monstrous!

"That's a very good analysis!" Qin Ge looked at Lin Yuan with newfound respect. "However, there's one thing you've got wrong."

"I'm not helping Lin Chen and the others, I'm helping my Yao Yao!"

"You want me to cooperate with you? Do you also have such a beautiful daughter?"

"By the way, did what you just said mean you admitted that what Wang Gu said was true?"

Lin Yuan's lips twitched, and Lin Yao had already kicked Qin Ge.

The two of them started joking around in front of everyone, seemingly unaffected by the tense atmosphere.

"You two, stop fooling around!"

"What kind of behavior is this!"

Lin Chen shouted loudly with a dark face, and Lin Yao immediately stopped what she was doing, her pretty face slightly red.

"Qin Ge, I gave you a chance!" Lin Yuan laughed loudly, then put two fingers into his mouth.

A loud whistle rang out, and a group of people rushed in from outside.

"Pei Jue?" Lin Chen squinted at the middle-aged man in the lead. "What do you want? Did I let you in?"

The man called Pei Jue did not answer, but silently led his men to protect Lin Yuan.

"The way you rich people fight for power is quite unpretentious!"

"If you can't win an argument, you resort to violence. Just like those people in our village who fight tooth and nail over a few feet of land."

When Qin Ge saw Pei Jue bring his men in, she immediately and quickly pulled Lin Yao to an inconspicuous corner.

Lin Zhinian watched silently without speaking, his gaze cold and profound.

"Second brother, what are you trying to do? Are you really going to go down this dark path?" Lin Chen's expression also became serious. Pei Jue's attitude towards him just now was enough to explain the problem.

The most powerful retainer in the Lin family now only obeys Lin Yuan!

"This wasn't my choice; you forced me to!"

Lin Yuan looked heartbroken. "I originally wanted to do this legitimately and try not to damage the Lin family's strength, but why did you have to force me?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. As long as I eliminate all those who know the truth, I will write the story!"

"Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish, Qin Ge, I told you I gave you a chance!"

"The show you and Wang Gu put on tonight was pretty good. I've even written the script for you."

"You two broke into the Lin family today and killed my father, my elder brother, my sister-in-law, my niece..."

He paused, his smile gradually turning sinister. "Hmm, you two are pretty good at killing. Since you're both going to die anyway, you might as well carry a few more!"

"You unfilial son!" Lin Zhinian's thin body trembled. "Although I've entrusted the Lin family to your elder brother all these years, your share is no less than his. Why do you still do this?"

"In your eyes, is there really not even a shred of familial affection left?"

"Dad, I've told you you're getting old!" Lin Yuan said dismissively. "Our Lin family could have developed much faster; I really don't understand why you deliberately try to control it!"

"The ridiculous thing is, Lin Chen actually agrees with your point of view and does the same thing as you!"

"Is it because of this ridiculous idea that you chose him instead of me?"

"What exactly is it about me that I lack compared to him?"

"I don't want just my share, I want the entire Lin family!"

"And I don't just want the Lin family to be the richest in Nanjing; I want them to be the richest in China, even the richest in the world!"

Lin Chen chuckled, "You think you can do whatever you want just because Pei Jue and his group are around?"

"With me here, you won't succeed!"

He had already mentally assessed the strength of both sides. Even considering that all of Lin Yuan's men were on Lin Yuan's side, it was absolutely impossible to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, they have lost the initiative. If they start fighting here, their family and father will probably have a hard time escaping safely.

The best course of action right now is to act assertively, force Lin Yuan to negotiate, buy time, and then see if there are any countermeasures.

Otherwise, if all of them were dead, Lin Yuan could truly control everything, and the events that happened in the Lin family tonight would never be made public!

"Who said I only have Pei Jue and his group?"

"Do you think I've been idle all these years?"

"Lin Chen, I know exactly how many skilled men you have loyally, and how many Lin Zhinian has on her side!"

"Do you think I would do something I'm not sure about?"

Lin Yuan was confident; he had made up his mind to wipe them out completely!

He winked at Pei Jue, who immediately understood and clapped his hands rhythmically a few times.

A commotion immediately broke out outside, and more figures appeared. The Lin family's main hall was now surrounded!

"Fine, you're really ruthless!" Lin Chen looked at those figures with despair in his heart. He saw that many of them usually obeyed him and his father, but he didn't expect that they had been turned against him by that bastard Lin Yuan!

"My father had such a distinguished reputation, yet he raised such an ungrateful son!"

"I just don't understand, since you were so well-prepared and practically certain of victory, why did you wait until now to make your move?"

Lin Yuan resumed his usual refined demeanor, adopting the air of a victor. "Big brother, are you a little forgetful?"

"As I just said, I don't just want the Lin family, I want the complete Lin family!"

"Many of the Lin family's core assets are still in your and Dad's hands. If you hadn't forced me, why would I have resorted to such a desperate measure?"

"Besides, I didn't originally plan to kill this many people."

"Didn't you forget to mention something?" Qin Ge's voice rang out from the corner. "If I'm not mistaken, you were already planning this move the moment Lin Zhinian woke up, weren't you?"

"The reason we haven't made a move yet is because we're afraid of me and Wang Gu!"
