Chapter 289 Chi Lin’s Strength

"Dear uncles, may I have the permission to say a few words?" Chi Lin was humble and gentle, with even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of whether those people gave way or not, Chi Lin spoke directly.

"My dear elders, although the Chi family has been harmonious for so many years, it is actually full of termites. If we don't get rid of them, it will never get better." Chi Lin's voice was not loud, but his words were quite intimidating.

"You all always think that you have worked hard and made great contributions, and that the Chi family should support you, but the fact is that all of you uncles have divided the property under your names, so you won't starve to death."

He looked at the older generation with a look of condescension and disdain.

"Ask yourself, the Chi family hasn't treated you unfairly. What else have you uncles done besides asking for money and asking for this and that?"

Chi Lin's words were not polite at all. It was a slap in their faces. The old men instantly looked grim.

A gray-haired old man frowned and loudly retorted, "We old guys have worked hard for the Chi family all our lives. What's wrong with enjoying ourselves a little now? This is what the Chi family owes us."

Chi Lin sneered contemptuously, "Working hard all your life? Every time I need help, I always go to see them in person with the things I want. But you guys are so arrogant and just keep pushing the issue back and forth. Isn't that enough? Resources are limited nowadays, just like a piece of cake. If you eat too much, there won't be enough left for those who are willing to work hard."

Uncle Chi nodded in satisfaction, sat on the sofa and drank a sip of water without saying a word, fully agreeing with Chi Lin's approach.

Others couldn't help but jump out, "You little one, what do you know? We have been in the Chi family for so many years, even if we have no merits, we have worked hard."

Chi Lin raised his chin slightly and said slowly, "Hard work? If hard work is just an excuse for you to be blood-sucking worms, then this kind of hard work is a bit ridiculous. You'd better not take advantage of your age and seniority."

After hearing what Chi Lin said, the older generation was speechless, and some were so angry that they didn't know what to say.

It was obvious that he wanted to get rid of them, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't find the right words to fight back.

They have long been accustomed to being superior and taking advantage of their seniority, and have never been so harshly belittled by a junior.

Chi Wenyan hid outside and watched this scene secretly. He didn't quite remember who Chi Lin was, but it seemed that he was the son of Uncle Chi San.

Uncle Chi was diagnosed with being childless a few years ago, and later went abroad to recuperate. People abroad had been keeping an eye on him, but there had been no news. Could it be that he had been cured by then?

There was a vague shadow of Chi Lin in his memory, but it was very blurry, but he must have met Chi Lin.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely tense, filled with all kinds of dissatisfied voices.

The older generation had angry expressions on their faces. "Humph, the younger generation these days are becoming more and more unruly. The Chi family will be defeated by you sooner or later."

"That's right. If they don't know how to respect their elders, what hope is there for the Chi family?" another person echoed.

Chi Lin shook his head and sneered, glancing at a certain place. The top leader at that time is also crazy now. Now that they are in power in the family, what's the point of these people getting angry.

These older generations are no longer useful, so it’s no big deal to abandon them.

Uncle Chi coughed, and the impatience on his face became more intense.

Chi Lin glanced at the servant and said coldly, "It's getting late. My uncles are old, so it's better for you to go back and rest early."

Everyone was startled by Chi Lin's sudden words. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to drive away the guests?

"The younger generation nowadays is just being unreasonable. They're starting to chase people away."

"An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child. He has no upbringing and cannot be accepted into the upper class." Someone said sarcastically.

Chi Lin's expression was gloomy, and his face, which had been maintaining a humble smile, was completely devoid of smile.

"That's better than having half of your uncles buried in the ground. Instead of talking about this, you might as well think more about how to maintain your health."

The elders of the Chi family turned red and white in the face after hearing what Chi Lin said.

Chi Lin stopped looking at them and turned to the servant beside him and ordered, "What are you still standing there for? Tell the driver to get ready and send these uncles back."

The servant received the order and respectfully walked towards those people, nodding and saying, "Everyone, please."

Everyone snorted coldly and was asked to leave, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.

After they left, Uncle Chi sneered, stood up, pointed toward the door, and sarcastically said, "These people have become more and more unruly as they get older."

Chi Lin walked forward to support Uncle Chi and said, "Dad, calm down. It's not worth it to ruin your health."

Uncle Chi was supported by Chi Lin and walked into the house, muttering about those people's faults as he walked.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me recently. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and more sleepy. I always feel like I can’t control my temper when I sleep too much. The violent temper I had when I was young is now becoming more and more apparent.

After returning to the house, Chi Lin asked Uncle Chi San to sit on a chair and rest. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly brought over a glass of water.

Chi Lin gave Mrs. Zhang a look, and Mrs. Zhang nodded silently. While Uncle Chi San was not paying attention, she quietly added some powder.

Not long after, the drug began to take effect, and Uncle Chi felt sleepy and his head became dizzy.

"Why are you so sleepy?"

Uncle Chi was so sleepy that he fell headfirst onto the bed and lost consciousness after he finished speaking.

Chi Lin watched Uncle Chi San fall asleep, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth. He gave Mrs. Zhang a meaningful look.

Mrs. Zhang followed Chi Lin carefully, lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Chi Lin. The two of them quietly left the bedroom.

When passing by the garden, Chi Lin suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. The feeling of being secretly watched was like a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, cold and sharp.

He stopped and looked around vigilantly, but the garden was quiet. Apart from the sound of flowers and trees swaying in the breeze, there was nothing unusual.

The feeling of being stared at just now seemed to be just a momentary illusion.

Chi Lin frowned, turned around, and lowered his voice to Zhang Ma, "Tell the security guards to arrange more patrols recently. We must not let anything go wrong."

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes and nodded.

On the other side, Chi Wenyan quickly left and returned to the new employees. He had just left for a while on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

"Back?" said the newcomer.

Chi Wenyan nodded, took the scissors and started to tidy up the flowers and plants. It was already dark, and with the help of the main lights in the yard, he could barely see the outlines of the flowers and plants.

The workload was not a big deal, and no one would become suspicious if he left for a while, and the work could still be completed quickly. However, the new employee kept glancing around, and no one knew what he was looking at.

At ten o'clock in the evening, work is finished.
