I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Lin Zhenting paused, his hand holding the cigarette still.

He was silent for a few seconds, then stubbed out his cigarette hard in the trash can next to him.

An indescribable unease welled up inside me.

He wasn't a good person when he was young either; he was a gangster kingpin, and he'd seen it all.

Women are a significant portion of the group.

But she knows about her future son-in-law.

Although it hasn't been officially decided yet.

Having a lover you used to live with outside of your life... what does that feel like?

Human nature is just that strange.

When you do something yourself, it becomes hard to accept when it happens to someone else.

Especially when it comes to their own children, that double standard mentality will swell to the extreme.

Iron Wall lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Then, Lin Zhenting suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

He took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Ultimately, Gu Yan still doesn't like her daughter.

Moreover, what they did was kidnapping, so it was not legitimate.

Given Gu Yan's status and position, the empire could arrange countless outstanding girls for him if he wished.

Perhaps these masters value personality more than appearance.

He exhaled another puff of smoke, his eyes becoming complex yet resolute.

If Gu Yan can really accept his daughter...

Then Lin Zhenting could reluctantly take a step back.

That girl named Shen Youyao can exist.

But they can't be in the public eye, they can't have any official status, and most importantly...

Jinyu must never find out.

This is his bottom line as a father.

Seeing his patriarch smoking, his brows furrowed, looking melancholy, Tie Bi hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, unsure whether he should say something.

"Just say what you have to say."

Lin Zhenting keenly sensed his unusual behavior, but without turning his head, he said coldly.

Tiebi immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to report.

"Boss, about that thing Master Gu asked me to do."

"That foster mother, Liu Jinhua, has been dealt with completely."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

"Before she died, this old hag knelt on the ground, excrement and urine were everywhere, and she cried with snot and tears all over her face, saying that I was her adoptive mother, that you can't kill me, that I was wrong, and that I would never do it again."

"My men tied her up and cut her flesh off piece by piece, making a total of 370 cuts before she finally breathed her last."

"With those last few cuts, she couldn't scream anymore; she could only twitch like a dead dog."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenting's brows relaxed slightly.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"What about Wang Hu? Is he dead?"

He remembered that Gu Yan had instructed him to kill two people.

Moreover, after issuing the order, he also had someone investigate Wang Hu.

He was utterly wicked, bullying men and women, and most hateful of all, he specialized in forcing women into prostitution; he was a complete and utter bastard.

Lin Zhenting hated minotaurs more than anything in his life.

Even if Gu Yan didn't say anything, if he found out, he would still kill that beast in the most cruel way.

Iron Wall was sweating.

"Your subordinate...please forgive me."

"We've captured Wang Hu, and we're going to torture him to death, starting with his genitals."

"The moment the first cut was made, the beast howled like a pig being slaughtered."

"When the second cut completely severed his filth, he screamed and fainted."

He raised his head, a simple, honest smile on his face, as if he were saying something to be proud of.

"However, my subordinates had him splashed with water to wake him up."

"When he woke up, he found that he was genitalless. He cried like a woman, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying things like, 'Grandpa, spare my life...'"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenting's gloomy expression finally dissipated somewhat.

He asked coldly, "Then why haven't you killed them yet?"

Tie Bi's face stiffened, and he lowered his head.

"Halfway through the execution by slow slicing."

"The young master of the Sima family suddenly appeared with his men and rescued the person."

"They outnumber us and have the advantage, so we have no choice but to retreat for now."

"The young master of the Sima family?"

Lin Zhenting frowned. "Sima Dahai?"

"Yes, that's him."

Iron Wall nodded.

Lin Zhenting lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.

The Sima family has an elder member in the Court of Judgment.

Sima Dahai is said to be a rising star among the younger generation, with good talent, and his family has high hopes for him.

But whether it was Gu Yan's entrustment or that hateful minotaur himself.

This Wang Hu must die.

Even if it means becoming a eunuch, we absolutely cannot let them go!

"Go and keep watch at the Sima family's residence."

Lin Zhenting's voice was deep but undeniable, "No matter what method you use, keep a close watch on them."

"Take action as soon as the opportunity arises."

"If the Sima family asks, just say it was my idea, Lin Zhenting."

A cruel smile appeared on Tie Bi's face as he clasped his hands in a heavy fist salute.

"yes!"

After saying that, he vanished into the night in a flash.

Lin Zhenting finished his cigarette and looked into the depths of the scenic area.

Judging by the timeline, it should be released by now.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. The entire scenic area was teeming with his people, including his daughter.

To be honest, apart from that one time, he hadn't seen his daughter actually fight back in a long time.

With her current strength, she might not even be a match for herself.

Trying to snatch someone away from right under his own daughter's nose?

In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are definitely no more than five things that can be done openly.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhenting felt a little more at ease, lit another cigarette, and continued to wait.

My mind has already started making plans.

Once we get back to Jinghai, how can we send our daughter and Gu Yan to Norway to get married as quickly as possible?

As long as he is fast enough, he believes that because his daughter is an S-class superhuman, the three hospitals and the cabinet will have no choice but to accept it.

......

Inside the scenic area.

Lin Jinyu stood there, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Ten minutes have passed.

Xiao Yan said she was going to use the restroom, but she hasn't returned after ten minutes.

She looked around, her golden eyes filled with anxiety and a hint of unease.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a side door a few hundred meters away out of the corner of her eye.

A furtive figure was tiptoeing and cautiously moving in that direction.

That iconic British three-piece suit, that head of gray curly hair.

It's that old bastard Anthony.

Is he trying to sneak away?

Lin Jinyu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and flashed away.

The next second, she appeared directly in front of Anthony.

Anthony was so startled he almost took off, jumping back three steps and nearly dropping his camera.

"Miss Lin! What are you doing here?"

"What...what happened?"

He clutched his chest, gasped for breath, and then stammered in his perpetually tongue-tied Chinese.

Lin Jinyu didn't answer his question, but asked him directly.

"I remember Xiao Yan said a few words to you before she went to the restroom. What did she say?"

Anthony's eyes darted around, and he immediately realized what was going on.

This is a life-or-death question; answering it wrong could kill you.

"Oh! Master Gu exchanged a few pleasantries with me."

"He said that if there's a chance in the future, he can bring his wife to England and let me take photos for you again."

He put on a smile and spoke very quickly.

He emphasized the word "Madam" very much.

Upon hearing those two words, Lin Jinyu's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile clearly appeared on her face, her mood visibly improving.

"Yeah?"

Her voice softened slightly. "What else did he say?"

Seeing that this tactic was effective, Anthony immediately added fuel to the fire.

"Master Gu also said that Miss Lin, you are the most beautiful girl he has ever seen!"

"The photos that come out are like paintings."

"He really likes it."

Lin Jinyu couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
