Urban Martial Saint

Seeing Zhao Chengshuang leave like that, the Lin family members couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. Of course, most of them were gloating, with only a very few speaking up for Zhao Chengshuang.

Lin Yaqing’s expression changed slightly, she whispered, ”Mom, this... this won’t blow up into a bigger issue, will it? My... my strike wasn’t that heavy...”

”So what if it blows up? That child needs to be taught a lesson!” Old Lady Lin raised her head and looked at Lin Zhen Nan, her voice stern, ”And that Ye Qing, he is plotting behind Tianhao’s back again. I haven’t even settled the score with him over Yashi’s issue, and he dares stir up trouble again.

I give you two days to drive him out of Shenchuan City; otherwise, I’ll personally send someone to do it!”

”Mom, can you please stop this!” Lin Zhen Nan said exasperatingly, ”Ye Qing is a good person. How could he do such things? Besides, do you really think all of Tianhao’s actions outside are honorable? The things he does could make countless enemies. Attacked by someone? I wouldn’t be surprised if he got killed!”

”How can you speak like that!” Old Lady Lin furiously said, ”What has Tianhao done outside? You just listen to those people blindly, taking rumors for reality, preferring to believe strangers over your own family? I raised Tianhao single-handedly; don’t I know what he’s like? It’s that Ye who is at odds with our family, causing all these troubles. I haven’t even settled the score yet.

I’m merely asking him to leave Shenchuan City, which is merciful enough. What more do you want? If we really get to the bottom of things, Tianhao’s deeds could land him in prison for decades!”

Lin Zhen Nan was speechless. The things Eldest Brother did outside were just hearsay, without any proof. Thus, he had always been unable to convince the old lady of the heinous acts Eldest Brother committed outside. And Old Lady Lin, doting tremendously on Eldest Brother, had led to this situation, still believing Eldest Brother was innocent.

Of course, Lin Zhen Nan himself didn’t take Zhao Chengshuang’s words seriously either. Because no matter what, Eldest Brother was still part of the Lin family and wouldn’t stoop so low as to harm his own relatives.

”Eldest brother, no matter what, Tianhao is our own family. Do you think Tianhao would do such things?” Lin Yaqing said, ”Setting other things aside, do you believe that accusation by Ye Qing about Tianhao colluding with He Ziqiang? I tell you, that’s purely slander, absolute slander. If he had no ulterior motives, why would he slander Tianhao? Ye Qing definitely has issues!”

”Exactly, exactly, Tianhao is such a good kid, how could he possibly do such things?” Lin Fuyuan chimed in repeatedly.

Many in the Lin family spoke up for Lin Tianhao, after all, they had also benefited from him on normal days. These people in the Lin family were just the type who’d follow the breadwinner. Receiving money and goods from Lin Tianhao, they didn’t care whether the money was clean or not, thinking that this was the proper behavior of relatives.

”Look, look, listen to what everyone is saying!” Old Lady Lin spoke earnestly, ”I alone say Tianhao is good, you might not believe it. But when everyone speaks so, if you still don’t believe it, then it only shows that you’re biased against Tianhao. I know, Tianhao is just your cousin’s child, so you don’t quite consider him as family. But Zhen Nan, in life, one must not forget one’s roots.

You all have the surname Lin, tracing back to the same grandfather. Tianhao is pitiful, his father died early and he can only rely on us relatives. If you don’t treat him as your own, wouldn’t he end up all alone?”

Old Lady Lin, moved to tears in her speech, began to cry. Seeing his mother cry, Lin Zhen Nan also panicked, hastily saying, ”Mom, mom, I’m not doubting Tianhao. Don’t cry, I won’t doubt Tianhao!”

”It’s not about whether you doubt Tianhao or not, it’s that Ye Qing, he just wants to destroy our family!” Old Lady Lin yelled, ”Yes, he saved Hua Yu, and we should not forget that favor. But haven’t I compromised? All I’m asking you to do is to drive her out of Shenchuan City, is that so difficult? Why can’t you do it? Why can’t you help your own family?”

Lin Yaqing said, ”Brother, just agree to mom, can you truly bear to let Mom keep worrying about this?”

Lin Zhen Nan was extremely troubled, seeing him silent, the old lady suddenly bent down as if to kneel, saying, ”Do I really have to beg you to do this?”

Lin Zhen Nan nearly fainted from fright, he hurriedly knelt down, lifting the old lady up, urgently saying, ”Mom, I’ll do it just as you asked!”

”Will you really do it?” Old Lady Lin looked at Lin Zhen Nan, a hint of doubt on her face.

Lin Zhen Nan sighed, ”I will. I’ll send someone to drive him out of Shenchuan City right away; you don’t have to worry!”

Only then did Old Lady Lin sigh in relief, ”Zhen Nan, you are now the eldest son, all family matters are your responsibility. You must hold up this family, and remember, only family bonds are crucial. No matter what, you have to protect your own people!”

”Yes, yes, Mom, I understand!” Lin Zhen Nan wore an extremely conflicted expression, helping the old lady into the inner room. He then returned to his room, remaining silent for a long while. He let out a heavy sigh and walked out of the room.

That morning, Ye Qing went to see Scar Lee again, bringing him food, and also clarified the receiving location for the Lin’s goods. Scar Lee of course did not know where the goods were currently being received, but he was clear that Eldest Brother might have sent someone to receive the goods.

As long as Ye Qing followed the person Eldest Brother sent, he would definitely locate the receiving point and find the group of disabled people who had been sent. And Ye Qing’s brother, Ye Jun, was almost certainly among them.

”Previously, it was Fatty Dog, Zhou Jian, Lin He, and I taking turns to handle the receipts, but since you broke Zhou Jian’s legs last time, he’s probably begging on the streets now. Given that Lin He blocked two attacks for Tianhao last night, he definitely won’t be sent out tonight. So tonight, it can only be Fatty Dog.

Of the people close to Eldest Brother, only Fatty Dog has the experience and knows how to handle these matters,” Scar Lee explained to Ye Qing, ”Just follow Fatty Dog, and you’ll definitely find the receiving point!”

”Fatty Dog?” Ye Qing noted down this name.

Scar Lee looked at Ye Qing and said hopefully, ”Ye, last night... was it really not you guys who ambushed Lin Tianhao?”

”No!” Ye Qing replied.

”Then... when are you going to ambush him?” Scar Lee anxiously looked at Ye Qing. As long as Lin Tianhao was alive, he couldn’t leave this small motel. Moreover, living here every day in fear, he really hoped Ye Qing would kill Lin Tianhao soon.

Ye Qing ignored him and just bowed his head, pondering about tracking Fatty Dog. He had seen this Fatty Dog before; he was one of Boss Lin’s trusted men, and tracking him shouldn’t be difficult. However, Ye Qing was more concerned about the ambush on Boss Lin last night. Who had ambushed Boss Lin at that time?

While he was deep in thought, Black Bear suddenly called to say that Lin Zhen Nan had arrived at home.

Ye Qing still had some respect for Lin Zhen Nan, so he hurried out to go home. When he reached downstairs, he saw Lin Zhen Nan’s car parked below, and Lin Zhen Nan’s bodyguards were also downstairs.

These bodyguards of Lin Zhen Nan, who had been quite arrogant before, were humbled the last time Ye Qing furiously swept through the Lin Corporation building alone, tackling the group and directly subduing them. Now seeing Ye Qing return, everyone nodded and bowed, coming up to greet Ye Qing without daring to show any disrespect.

Among these people, the strongest was the short one who could fight Ye Qing. He did not come over but just bowed from a distance as a greeting.

Ye Qing had a good impression of this short man, he nodded at him, and then went straight upstairs.

Lin Zhen Nan was sitting in the living room, with Black Bear sitting opposite him, glaring at him unhappily. Lin Zhen Nan, however, was calm, flipping through a book on the table with interest, as if he hadn’t seen Black Bear at all.

When Ye Qing came in, Black Bear immediately came up to him and said, ”Captain, this ingrate is here again, do you want me to throw him out directly?”

Ye Qing glared at Black Bear, who then muttered and went back inside. He was straightforward. Remembering the incident where the Lin family expelled Ye Qing, he felt very upset. It was known that Ye Qing had almost lost his life trying to save Lin Huayu last time, and yet the Lin family had repaid kindness with ingratitude. In Black Bear’s straightforward nature, this was simply unacceptable.

Ye Qing approached Lin Zhen Nan and said, ”President Lin.”

Lin Zhen Nan put down the book in his hand and stood up, saying, ”Sorry to bother you again.”

”No need to be polite,” Ye Qingqi said. ”Is there anything urgent, President Lin? A phone call would have sufficed, no need to come in person.”

”It’s not really urgent,” Lin Zhen Nan sighed softly, looked at Ye Qing, and said, ”Ye Qing, can you tell me what exactly you are doing here in Shenchuan City?”

Ye Qing frowned slightly and asked, ”What do you mean by asking these questions, President Lin?”

Lin Zhen Nan said, ”If I say I’m just curious, would you believe me?”

Ye Qing looked at Lin Zhen Nan, ”If you say so, I would believe you. But I know you wouldn’t say that!”

”Hahaha...” Lin Zhen Nan laughed heartily, admiringly looked at Ye Qing, and said, ”No wonder Cheng Shuang respects you so much. Honestly, I see the shadow of my younger self in you. Unfortunately, back then, I didn’t have the skills or capabilities that you have!”

Ye Qing said, ”I don’t have President Lin’s wisdom either.”

If someone else had said this, Lin Zhen Nan would definitely have taken it as flattery. But coming from Ye Qing, he only heard sincerity. He understood Ye Qing’s character; he was not one to flatter, and he spoke from his heart.

”Wisdom, haha...” Lin Zhen Nan laughed bitterly and said, ”In this society, what’s called wisdom is actually just a compromise, a compromise with societal rules. No matter how glorious I seem now, in reality, I have to compromise on many things, especially in front of my family, where I must compromise a lot!”
