Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 655: Chapter 654: Provoking Public Anger

Following that, the other major families also spoke out one after another, supporting Patriarch Cheng.

At this moment, Master Lin almost collapsed on the ground. He knew that this time, the Lin Family really was deserted by all.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Cheng, still stepping on Third Elder Lin, shouted furiously, ”Are you going to talk or not?”

Third Elder Lin, looking at the dagger that shimmered with Cold Light, turned pale with fright. He knew that the Lin Family could no longer protect him. If he stayed silent, he would suffer various tortures before dying, and Patriarch Cheng could still have someone crack the password and open it.

Thus, in the end, Third Elder Lin still divulged the password, choosing not to suffer the immediate loss.

Patriarch Cheng unlocked the phone and searched for a while, finally flipping through some photos on the device.

The moment he saw the photos, tears immediately welled up in Patriarch Cheng’s eyes. After a long time, he let out a heart-wrenching roar, ”Ah!”

The people at the scene didn’t need to look at the phone to know what had happened. Undoubtedly, Su Yang was right; it really was as he said.

Everyone looked at Master Lin, whose face was stricken with panic, as he hastily said, ”Third, what’s with these photos? You... you better come clean...”

Third Elder Lin trembled non-stop, unable to utter a single word. At this time, Su Yang said softly, ”Master Lin, after you had those seventeen people killed, fearing their families would cause trouble, you specially sent someone to Yangchuan City, ready to wipe out their family to silence them. These photos, they were taken in their home, to show you upon return. It’s just that your son was a bit too arrogant, keeping these photos as trophies, tsk tsk, and today they’ve become evidence!”

There was another uproar at the scene, while Patriarch Cheng, red-faced with rage, stared at Master Lin and said through clenched teeth, ”Lin Guoshan, I will never rest until one of us is dead!”

Master Lin’s face turned terribly ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, ”Cheng, those are just photos in his phone, what do they have to do with us? Don’t slander us. This matter has nothing to do with the Lin Family. Don’t think that we are really afraid of you. If you want to fight, then the Lin Family will accompany you to the end!”

The people at the scene shook their heads one after another, finding Master Lin’s stubbornness unbelievable; at this point, he was still putting on a tough front.

”The truth of the matter, Patriarch Cheng can investigate later,” Su Yang said softly. ”I now want to ask, I would like for the Lin Family to change its management; who supports this, and who opposes?”

As soon as these words were out, Patriarch Cheng immediately raised his hand and said, ”I support it, everyone in the Cheng Family supports it!”

”The Wu Family supports it too!”

”The Sun Family supports it!”

”The Wan Family supports it!”

”The Li Family supports it!”

Almost unanimously, everyone at the scene raised their hands in support.

Even Elder Huo sighed and said, ”Old Lin, what goes around comes around. You’ve gone too far this time, and I think it’s time for the Lin Family to change hands.”

Master Lin’s face twisted with fury as he roared, ”What use is your support? The affairs of the Lin Family will be decided by the Lin Family itself, outsiders have no right to interject, I...”

Before Master Lin could finish his sentence, Su Yang slapped him across the face, sending Master Lin flying backward.

Immediately after, Su Yang charged into the midst of the Lin Family members, showing no mercy as he struck out. In a single encounter, he injured more than a dozen people. And these dozen or so people were all Master Lin’s confidants as well as the Lin Family’s authoritative members, now all seriously wounded by Su Yang.

”As for the affairs of your Lin Family, I will decide!” Su Yang said coldly. ”If you are unwilling to step down, then I will cripple you. Paralyzed in bed, let’s see if you can still manage the Lin Family!”

The Lin Family members lay on the ground, wailing non-stop, none able to stand again.

Master Lin was in a slightly better condition, still able to stand, but his complexion was utterly despairing. He knew that he was finished this time.

Because of the matter with Patriarch Cheng’s granddaughter, he ended up deserted by all, with Pingbei Province’s major families no longer supporting him.

Now, regardless of whether Su Yang injured them, it seemed likely that these major families would personally take matters into their own hands to finish them off.

What followed was the inevitable change of leadership within the Lin Family. Moreover, Patriarch Cheng definitely wouldn’t let them off; trouble was surely still in store for them.

At this moment, Master Lin suddenly felt a desire to die, as death would save him from facing all of this. But what he couldn’t understand was how Su Yang came to know so much, even that the girl was Patriarch Cheng’s granddaughter?

Actually, Su Yang didn’t know about this matter beforehand either. It was only while dealing with them that he casually used the Soul Searching Technique and stumbled upon this case.

Taking the matter further, Su Yang followed the clues, seeking some evidence, and thus discovered information about the girl in Third Elder Lin’s memory.

Earlier, Su Yang had also looked into Patriarch Cheng’s memory, where he noticed that the name of the girl’s grandmother matched that of Patriarch Cheng’s first love in his memories. This caught Su Yang’s attention, so he carefully compared the data and uncovered the whole truth.

It must be said, Master Lin really was down on his luck.

Patriarch Cheng had spent most of his life consolidating the Cheng Family. Although he now had a wife and children, the only romantic feeling in his heart was for his long-lost first love.

Consequently, the Lin Family ended up killing Patriarch Cheng’s first love, his unmet son, and his unmet granddaughter.

With such heavy blows, how could Patriarch Cheng not fight them to the death?

Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Cheng walked over to Su Yang, kneeled in front of everyone, and said with a trembling voice, ”Cheng owes a great debt of gratitude to Master Su. Without Master Su, Cheng would never have known in this lifetime that I actually had a son and a granddaughter...”

His voice choked up as he spoke. Despite the revelation, there was nothing more tragic than the fact that they would never meet again.

”There’s no need to thank me,” Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”Elder Huo is right, what goes around comes around. Patriarch Cheng, the things you’ve done to climb the ranks aren’t all honorable either. But your past deeds aren’t deserving of death, so I won’t pursue them further. From now on, take care of yourself. Do good deeds, and perhaps you’ll end up with a peaceful end.”

”Yes!” Patriarch Cheng nodded quickly.

”Also, regarding the matter of Lin Zhenshan, I hope the Cheng Family can provide an explanation,” Su Yang said calmly.

Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Cheng said solemnly, ”Rest assured, Master Su, whoever killed Lin Zhenshan’s daughter and son-in-law will pay with their lives. Additionally, here I stand on behalf of the entire Cheng Family, to offer an apology to Mr. Lin!”

Patriarch Cheng turned toward Lin Zhenshan and bowed deeply.

Lin Zhenshan’s eyes reddened. He had waited so many years for this apology, thinking he would never receive it, but unexpectedly, the day had come.
