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

"Lin Yuan, if you're going to fool people, at least come up with a decent reason!"

"What's the difference between using Lu Qi to scare me and using Little Drill Wind to scare Sun Wukong?"

"Wasn't Lu Qi your lackey? Now he's your backer?"

Qin Ge's heart and face were filled with disdain. How could Lin Yuan, with his level of ability, possibly want to seize power?

If he succeeds, forget about becoming number one in China, the Lin family will collapse sooner or later!

Qin Ge knew that Lin Zhinian was probably similar to the old foxes like Xia Siyuan, and had some trump cards that he didn't easily reveal.

From the moment they met until now, Lin Zhinian has gotten really angry, but he has never really panicked. It can't just be that he has a strong mentality, right?

"I'm not kidding you!"

Lin Yuan felt like he had survived, but his heart was still hanging in the balance. "Lu Qi doesn't have the ability. You don't even respect the Lin family, so the Lu family probably can't do anything to you."

"But Lu Qi's maternal grandfather can; he's Qiao Song, the head of the Jinling Shadow Martial Arts Hall!"

"Qiao Song? Even if Qiao Feng came, it wouldn't make a difference!" Qin Ge kicked Lin Yuan's other leg, breaking it as well, then casually tossed him beside Lin Chen. "You Lin family members, deal with yourselves!"

It seems Lin Yuan still has some value. Why don't we let Lin Chen and the others dig around? Maybe they can find something useful.

Fortunately, he had fought Yu Xiaoyun before. Although he didn't know why Yu Xiaoyun suddenly stopped and admitted defeat, he felt that the leader of the Shadow Martial Hall was nothing special.

Even if that Qiao Song is stronger than Yu Xiaoyun, as a fellow hall master, he probably isn't that much stronger, right?

If Qiao Song dares to cause trouble, we'll beat him up without hesitation!

Besides, what does Lu Qi have to do with him?

Lu Qi and Weng Quan are currently in Yang Xin'er's hands. If the Lu family has any objections, they should go find Yang Jianjun!

Hong Zhendong still has Lu Qi and his group's "scandalous" videos. If the Lu family dares to cause trouble, Qin Ge wouldn't mind making them famous first.

"Han Xiuyun!" Qin Ge's gaze searched through the crowd for a moment before locking onto Han Xiuyun. "Shouldn't we settle our score too?"

"You still won't admit you sent someone to kill me?"

"You brat! I've told you so many times, no means no, don't even think about throwing dirty water on me!" Han Xiuyun remained assertive on the surface, but her body language betrayed her by leaning closer to her daughter.

Lin Chen looked puzzled, his gaze shifting between the people. "What did he mean?"

"Sir, it's like this..." Having witnessed Qin Ge's terrifying strength, Granny Chen was worried that the relationship between the Lin family and Qin Ge would become too strained, so she quickly explained.

"Brother Qin, I think you've misunderstood!" Lin Chen knew his wife well, and he also knew that Han Xiuyun had gone to Donghai, but he didn't know that the person she went to see was Qin Ge.

As far as he knew, his wife had indeed only brought Chen Po with her at the time, and there was no assassin as Qin Ge had described.

"Although Xiuyun has a rough personality and sometimes acts rashly and without thinking, I assure you she absolutely did not send anyone to kill you!"

"If she really did it, she wouldn't deny it."

Lin Chen spoke with great sincerity and humility, not even noticing his daughter pouting and glaring at him from the side.

Lin Yao was naturally unhappy. "You're my father. You call this bastard 'brother,' so what am I?"

Han Xiuyun exploded, "Lin Chen, what did you say?!"

"Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'I have a rough personality and act recklessly'?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly to me today, I'm not done with you!"

Qin Ge: "..."

How can Han Xiuyun be so confident? Could it be that she really made a mistake and was fooled by those two assassins?

This logic doesn't make sense!

Those two assassins were ready to kill him, so what was the point of fooling a "dying man"?

Lin Chen was speechless. This wife was quite shrewish; marrying her was a blessing.

"Forget it, since there's no evidence, let's just let this go for Lin Yao's sake!"

Qin Ge readily agreed, knowing that if Han Xiuyun actually admitted it, he would actually have a real headache.

Lin Yao would definitely stop him from doing anything to Han Xiuyun, but she was caught in a dilemma.

He changed the subject, "Boss Lin, you said earlier that you were going to take me down too, are you still going to do that?"

"If you don't ask me to stay, I'm leaving!"

Qin Ge waved to Wang Gu, "Poison King Wang, are you planning to stay for a midnight snack?"

Although Wang Gu did not do anything directly to the Lin family, Weng Quan was his junior brother and could be considered an accomplice. If he stayed here, the Lin family would definitely not let him off easily.

Qin Ge is not the kind of person who would betray someone after they've served their purpose. Wang Gu had helped him a lot, so naturally he wanted to protect Wang Gu.

Wang Gu shuddered and rushed to Qin Ge's side, grinning sheepishly.

He was already deeply impressed by Qin Ge. Not only was Qin Ge more skilled with poison than him, but his martial arts were also unfathomable. He could manipulate a master like Pei Jue at will, which was truly terrifying!

Lin Yao panicked when she heard Qin Ge say he was leaving.

She wanted to persuade him to stay, but felt it wasn't appropriate and couldn't think of a suitable reason, so she could only feel anxious.

"Wait a moment!"

After a long silence, Lin Zhinian spoke up, "Qin Ge, since you are Yao Yao's friend and have come all the way from the East China Sea for her sake, our Lin family should treat you well."

"It's getting late, and the Lin family has quite a few things to take care of. Why don't you stay at the Lin family's house tonight? I'll personally host a banquet to entertain you tomorrow!"

"Chang Fu!"

Without waiting for Qin Ge's response, he slammed his hand on the table and made the decision: "Arrange two rooms for Qin Ge and Doctor Wang!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin!" Wang Gu quickly said, a smile plastered on his face. "But I don't need to trouble myself. Jing Gu Medical Clinic is in Jinling, so it's very convenient for me to go back."

He exchanged a few polite words and quickly slipped away. He didn't know if Qin Ge dared to stay, but he certainly didn't.

"I don't need it!" Qin Ge looked at Lin Yao with a mischievous smile. "No need for that trouble, I'll just stay at Lin Yao's place!"

Everyone: "..."

That night, Qin Ge stayed in a room arranged by the butler Chang Fu, while Lin Chen and his men handled the aftermath.

Lin Yuan was captured, Pei Jue committed suicide, and the rest of the people gave up resistance.

With our master gone, what's the point of risking our lives?

Besides, they all heard it; Qin Ge is still at the Lin family's house!

Even a master like Pei Jue was rendered helpless in front of Qin Ge, so what do they have to fight with?

Lin Chen handled it relatively smoothly, but he was still busy until late at night.

Han Xiuyun ordered Chen Po to guard Lin Yao's room that night, saying it was to prevent Lin Yuan's remaining men from harming Lin Yao, but Chen Po always felt that Han Xiuyun was actually looking out for Qin Ge.

This trust put her under immense pressure. What did she do to deserve Qin Ge's trust?

In the middle of the night, Lin Yao sneaked out of her room.

Upon seeing Granny Chen standing at the door, the two froze, staring at each other in disbelief.

Granny Chen rolled her eyes, closed them, turned around, but saw nothing.

She might not be very good at fooling others, but she's a professional and experienced at fooling herself.

Lin Yao's mind went blank for a moment, then a lightbulb went off in a flash, and she dashed off towards Qin Ge's room.
