Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 654: Chapter 653 The Girl’s Background

The voice of Master Lin was trembling as he spoke, and the expressions of those from the Lin Family changed, all indicating that Su Yang was not making baseless accusations.

Everyone was staring coldly at Master Lin, as the head of a family, to do such a thing, he truly deserved to die.

”What are you staring at me for?” Master Lin became anxious, ”I told you, there’s no such thing, my Lin Family would never do such a thing...”

”As the head of a family, you truly lack responsibility!” Su Yang sighed, ”Since that’s the case, then I won’t leave you any dignity. Master Lin, you only know that you killed that family to preserve the honor of the clan and protect your own family members. But do you know who that girl was?”

Master Lin froze, he had never considered such a question. Clenching his teeth, he glared at Su Yang and shouted angrily, ”I don’t know what you’re talking about, I also don’t know anything about a girl...”

Su Yang said, ”That girl’s grandfather is present among us.”

As these words fell, the scene erupted into an uproar, and all the older individuals were astonished.

Those who were originally here were mostly younger individuals. Those old enough to be grandparents were not young. And those elders present in Pingbei Province were no ordinary figures.

This girl’s grandfather was one of these people?

If that was truly the case, then this was a huge matter indeed.

Considering how the Lin Family massacred these people, would this girl’s grandfather let them off?

Master Lin froze, then shook his head and said, ”Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I would believe you? You’re just trying to bluff me, the Lin Family has never done such a thing, you won’t scare me...”

Su Yang’s expression remained calm as he turned to Patriarch Cheng and said leisurely, ”Funny enough, that girl happens to be Patriarch Cheng’s granddaughter!”

”What?” Patriarch Cheng’s face changed, he had been sitting calmly to the side, not expecting the matter to implicate him.

Su Yang continued, ”Patriarch Cheng, do you remember when you were young, there was internal strife in your family and you were forced to leave and live in Yangchuan City for a while? There, you had a girlfriend with the Wu surname!”

The color drained from Patriarch Cheng’s face as he stared at Su Yang in shock, ”How... how do you know?”

”After the family strife settled, you returned to the family, but in order to struggle for power, you had to remain and fight hard within the family. That struggle lasted for eighteen years until you became the new Family Head, stabilizing the family situation. Only then did you dare to return to Yangchuan City, hoping to take one last look at her,” Su Yang sighed, ”Unfortunately, that woman had married and had a happy family of her own. Wishing not to disturb her peaceful life, you didn’t even go to meet her, just looked at her from a distance before leaving.”

An uproar rippled through the crowd, who could have imagined such a story unfolding in Patriarch Cheng’s life.

Patriarch Cheng’s face was pale, what Su Yang was saying was utterly accurate. This was indeed what had happened to him, but how did Su Yang know? He had never spoken of this to anyone!

”But what you don’t know,” Su Yang said softly, ”is that girl bore you a son. And that son, in Yangchuan City, also got married and had a daughter. The daughter married into a good family, and after the wedding, they came to the provincial city to travel, all because her grandmother remembered that her old lover lived in the provincial city.”

At this point, Patriarch Cheng’s eyes were brimming with tears. He hurried forward two steps, almost kneeling before Su Yang, tremblingly saying, ”Master Su, what you mentioned... is that... my granddaughter?”

Su Yang sighed, ”There are pictures in Third Young Master Lin’s phone, just take a look and you’ll know. I also hope it’s not related to you, but it seems unlikely!”

Patriarch Cheng’s face went pale, and he instantly turned toward Third Elder Lin.

And now, Third Elder Lin was panicking. Under the scrutinizing gaze of all present, he immediately took out his mobile phone, trying to throw it into the nearby pond.

In that moment, Patriarch Cheng was the first to pounce, pinning him down firmly. Men from the Cheng Family quickly stepped forward and snatched the mobile phone away.

Master Lin became frantic, ”What are you doing? Patriarch Cheng, what is this? Don’t believe his words...”

No one paid him any heed. Patriarch Cheng tried to unlock the phone, but it was locked. Standing on Third Elder Lin, he bellowed, ”The password, give me the password!”

Third Elder Lin’s face turned red as he remained silent; Patriarch Cheng roared, ”Chop off one of his hands, and if he still won’t talk, keep chopping until he’s dead. If he doesn’t talk till death, then kill him, I’ll go find someone to crack it!”

Men from the Cheng Family immediately pulled out their weapons. Master Lin became furious, shouting, ”Patriarch Cheng, are you trying to kill a man from the Lin Family? Do you really take the Lin Family for non-existent? All men of the Lin Family, heed my command and stop them!”

”Whoever blocks me will die!” Patriarch Cheng was almost roaring, and the men from the Cheng Family also charged forward, their posture suggesting they were ready for a fierce battle with the Lin Family men if they interfered.

Just then, Elder Huo spoke loudly, ”We’re all friends here, why hurt the harmony? Old Lin, you shouldn’t worry if you have nothing to hide. If you have not done this, then let Patriarch Cheng take a look at the phone, what harm could that do?”

Master Lin’s face turned red with anger, shouting, ”This is disrespectful to the Lin Family!”

”Proving innocence is the true disrespect to the Lin Family. If there is wrongdoing, it’s not a matter of disrespect!” Patriarch Wu said with a sarcastic tone from the side.

Master Lin’s face grew even more embarrassed, and in a soft voice, Elder Huo said, ”Old Lin, how about this? I’ll vouch here. If Patriarch Cheng finds nothing on the phone, then this whole affair is Cheng Family’s disrespect towards the Lin Family. In that case, Patriarch Cheng will personally apologize to the Lin Family, how does that sound?”

Patriarch Cheng almost shouted, ”If I’m wrong, then I’ll chop off my own hand to apologize to you!”

It was clear that Patriarch Cheng was nearly frenzied by now. After all, this was about the love of his life and a son and granddaughter whom he had never met.

Master Lin’s face was still difficult to look at as he shouted, ”No, I absolutely will not allow anyone to commit disrespect against my Lin Family!”

”Old Lin, now you are being too unreasonable!” Patriarch Sun also stood up, saying coldly, ”I think Patriarch Cheng should be allowed to look at the phone. Sun Family men, heed my command, no one is allowed to stop Patriarch Cheng from looking at the phone!”

”My Wu Family feels the same,” Patriarch Wu immediately said, ”Wu Family men, heed my command, secure the area and don’t let anyone disturb Patriarch Cheng from checking the phone!”
