Wh-what?!
At that moment, the assistant Xiaoyun could hardly believe her ears!
“M-Miss, there must be some mistake, right?
The Sun Family is one of the Four Great Clans.
H-how could they have been wiped out?”
And she wasn’t the only one!
Su Mu’er looked as if she had seen a ghost.
“It’s the absolute truth!
Chief Gong Bo said so himself!”
BOOM!
Those words left the assistant Xiaoyun utterly shocked beyond belief!
For some reason, at that moment, Lin Han’s recent words couldn’t help but surface in the minds of both Su Mu’er and Xiaoyun.
The Sun Family…
would be annihilated?
“Miss, could Lin Han have done it?
But…
he’s just a stray dog.
How is that possible?!”
At that instant, the assistant Xiaoyun felt a chill run down her spine!
If Lin Han really had the power to destroy the Sun Family, then he must have some unimaginably terrifying identity!
‘That would be…
too terrifying!’
However, Su Mu’er shook her head.
“It wasn’t Lin Han!”
“The one who destroyed the Sun Family was that legendary and mysterious Mr.
Lin!”
Phew…
Hearing this, the assistant Xiaoyun couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
“I knew it!
How could Lin Han possibly destroy the Sun Family?
Turns out the guy just got ridiculously lucky and benefited from that Mr.
Lin’s actions!”
In the assistant Xiaoyun’s eyes, the only one in all of Jiang City who could destroy the Sun Family was probably that mysterious Mr.
Lin.
“Miss, who do you think that Mr.
Lin is?”
“How could he possess such terrifying power?”
The assistant Xiaoyun looked at Su Mu’er curiously.
But Su Mu’er just shook her head.
She had never met this Mr.
Lin, but for some reason, every time she heard his name, the image of Lin Han would involuntarily appear in her mind.
‘It can’t be him!
I must be overthinking things!’
Su Mu’er shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind.
RING RING RING!
Just then, a cell phone rang out.
Su Mu’er took out her phone and saw it was a call from Zhao Tianming.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mu’er answered the call.
“Hey!
Mu’er, how did it go?
Did the Sun Family turn you down?”
He knew, of course, that Su Mu’er had gone to the Sun Family to plead for Lin Han.
He also knew that it was impossible.
“Mu’er, don’t be naive.
The Sun Family will never let Lin Han go.
If you really want to save his life, you can come beg me!”
At this point, Zhao Tianming’s laughter took on a deeply sinister tone.
“Heh heh…
as long as you ‘take care of me’ tonight, I might consider letting the Sun Family spare his life!”
His words were utterly vile.
A look of deep disgust immediately appeared on Su Mu’er’s pretty face.
“Young Master Tianming, there’s something I need to inform you of.”
“The Sun Family…
has been annihilated.”
GAK!
With that one sentence, Zhao Tianming’s laughter on the other end of the line came to an abrupt halt.
It was as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
His breathing grew ragged.
“Mu’er, this…
this joke isn’t funny!”
“The Sun Family is huge and powerful!
Their family members even control the Patrol Office!
How could they be wiped out?
You…
you must be joking, right?”
Zhao Tianming felt his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
In his mind, Lin Han’s words echoed once again.
‘No!’
‘It’s absolutely impossible!’
Zhao Tianming’s face was contorted in a ferocious expression as he waited for Su Mu’er’s answer.
But Su Mu’er replied, “Young Master Tianming, I’m not lying to you.”
“The destruction of the Sun Family is the absolute truth.”
With that, Su Mu’er hung up the phone.
…
「Meanwhile, in the Zhao Family’s study.」
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
A teapot, a computer, a chair—one after another was smashed, leaving the floor in complete disarray.
Zhao Tianming sat in his wheelchair, panting heavily.
His face was ashen, and cold sweat poured down his forehead as if a faucet had been turned on.
“H-how could this happen?”
“Did that Lin Han really…
actually destroy the Sun Family?”
In an instant, a thread of deep-seated terror crept into Zhao Tianming’s heart, making his scalp tingle with fear.
TAP, TAP, TAP!
Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out.
Patriarch Zhao Xiong walked in briskly.
“Dad!
You…
you know too?”
Zhao Tianming saw that his father Zhao Xiong’s expression was also terrifyingly grim.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiong nodded, his face still showing traces of deep-seated fear.
“I never would have thought the Sun Family would be wiped out so easily.”
“It seems that Mr.
Lin’s power is ten…
even a hundred times more terrifying than we imagined!”
Zhao Tianming was taken aback.
“M-Mr.
Lin?”
“Dad!
Wasn’t it Lin Han who destroyed the Sun Family?”
Lin Han?
A sneer couldn’t help but form on Zhao Xiong’s lips.
“Are you kidding?
That Lin Han is just a stray dog, a poor loser.
How could he possibly destroy the Sun Family?”
At this point, a look of deep reverence appeared on Zhao Xiong’s face.
“The Sun Family was blind and offended Mr.
Lin.”
“He brought three tycoons and a hundred members of the Guard Army, and in just one hour, he left the Sun Family shattered and ruined.
It’s truly…
terrifying!”
Phew.
Hearing his father’s words, Zhao Tianming couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
‘Thank goodness!’
‘It wasn’t Lin Han!’
“It’s a shame.
That Lin Han got ridiculously lucky and managed to escape this disaster.”
Zhao Tianming gritted his teeth in hatred and said to Zhao Xiong,
“Dad!
What do we do now?”
‘I can’t accept this!’
Right now, Zhao Tianming wanted nothing more than to slice Lin Han into a thousand pieces to avenge his humiliation.
A similarly ferocious look flashed across Zhao Xiong’s face.
“Don’t worry.
I’ve already contacted the Huang Family.”
“Our Zhao Family and the Huang Family, two of the Great Clans, will join forces to attack the Tang Group!”
“Unless the Tang Family hands over Lin Han, we will fight them to the death!”
Those words made Zhao Tianming’s eyes light up, his heart instantly blooming with joy.
‘That’s right!’
‘The Zhao Family and the Huang Family, acting together!’
‘The Tang Group will be on the verge of collapse.
In the end, if they want to save themselves, their only option will be to tie Lin Han up and deliver him to our doorstep!’
“Heh heh heh…
Excellent!”
“When the time comes, not only will Lin Han be sold out by the Tang Family and betrayed by his own fiancée, but I’ll also disembowel him and rip out his heart!
I’ll make him wish he were dead!”
…
The Tang Family, at this very moment, had no idea that a crisis was slowly approaching.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Tang Family’s rear hall was extremely oppressive.
Xian’er sat quietly on the sofa, her pretty face as white as a sheet.
Beside her, her uncle, Tang Ren, and Kong Jie were persuading her relentlessly.
“Xian’er, you need to make a decision quickly.
If you’re too late, that Lin Han will surely die!”
Tang Ren looked at Xian’er with a playful expression, as if he had her completely under his thumb.
Beside him, Kong Jie stared unabashedly at Xian’er, his face full of greed.
“Miss Xian’er, as long as you agree to be my woman, I will do everything in my power to save Lin Han!”
“Then he’ll be safe, and you can rest easy!”
Kong Jie knew, ‘This is my best chance!’
‘As long as Xian’er doesn’t want Lin Han to die, she’ll have no choice but to beg me!’
But at this moment, Xian’er turned a deaf ear to their words.
Her delicate hands were clenched into tight fists, and the old man’s words couldn’t help but surface in her mind.
‘If I want to save Lin Han, I have to agree to the marriage alliance!’
‘What should I do?’
‘What am I supposed to do?’
‘Are Brother Xiao Linzi and I really not fated to be together?’
A bitter feeling spread through Xian’er’s heart.
She glanced at the time.
Xian’er then took out her phone, about to dial the number back.
‘Brother Xiao Linzi, I’m sorry.
Only by leaving you…
can I save you!’
With that decided, Xian’er was about to press the number on her phone.
But just then, “Xian’er, I’m back!”
A clear voice called out, making everyone in the rear hall jolt in surprise.
