"Mother! Why didn't you tell my brother!"
"Brother!" Lin Xiaoxue tugged at Lin Huowang's sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Something happened at home! Two months ago, that...that worst person in the world came to our house!"
Lin Huowang's eyes instantly turned cold as he demanded, "Who?"
"It's...it's that person!"
Lin Xiaoxue stomped her feet and said angrily, "He even tried to force me and my mother to leave! He said he would take us back to his home! Luckily... luckily Brother Da Niu came, along with Uncle Shui Sheng and the villagers, who had hunting rifles and hoes, and chased him away!"
"What? It's Lin Fugui? He actually dared to come looking for us!"
Lin Huowang suddenly stood up, and a murderous aura emanated from him.
Zhao Daniu also stood up and said, "Yes! Brother Awang, it's true. It's your... biological father, Lin Fugui!"
Zhao Daniu then recounted the whole story in detail.
It turned out that just when the dragonfish breeding business in Linjiagou was thriving and every household was receiving money, this news somehow reached Lin Fugui's ears.
When Lin Fugui inquired, he learned that it was all led by his "useless" crippled son, Lin Huowang, and he was filled with remorse.
His eyes lit up and he hatched a plan. He led a few people and, feigning righteousness, went to Linjiagou to "recognize his relatives," saying that he had "made a mistake" back then, but now he had "had a change of heart" and wanted to take his wife and children back for a "reunion."
He thought that Lin Huowang was just a young boy, and even if he had some ability, he would have to obey his own father.
But to his surprise, Lin Huowang wasn't home at all!
When he heard that Lin Huowang had gone to the county or even the provincial capital to "have great development", he was even more excited.
He immediately came up with a plan: since his son wasn't around, he would seize control of his wife and daughter!
He figured that as long as he had the mother and daughter as "hostages," Lin Huowang would surely acknowledge him as his father when he returned. His entire family's future happiness depended on these two!
So he immediately tried to drag Lin's mother and Lin Xiaoxue away.
But what he never expected was that Linjiagou Village had already been united into a single force by Lin Huowang.
Upon hearing Lin's mother and Xiaoxue's exclamation, Zhao Daniu and Lin Shuisheng immediately led their hunting team and dozens of villagers to surround them.
"It's good that you had a backup plan, Brother Awang!"
Zhao Daniu said with lingering fear, "You told our hunting team to keep a close eye on Auntie and Xiaoxue. That day, just as Lin Fugui's men were about to make a move, our men subdued them!"
"Uncle Shuisheng immediately pointed at Lin Fugui's nose and cursed him, saying that Linjiagou did not welcome him and that the Lin family mother and son had nothing to do with him, Lin Fugui! If he dared to set foot in Linjiagou again, he would break his dog legs!"
"We gave him and his men a good beating and drove them away. We also gave him a stern warning: he is not allowed to set foot in Linjiagou again!"
After hearing all this, the murderous aura on Lin Huowang's face actually subsided.
He smiled.
Anyone who knows him well knows that the calmer his smile, the more intense his anger is.
"It was the same in my past life," he thought to himself with a cold laugh.
Lin Huowang clearly remembered that when he became successful in his previous life, his cheap father had also caused a similar incident.
He ran to the building downstairs of his own company, unfurled a banner, and said, "Billionaire Lin Huowang abandoned his biological father, an act against all reason and law," making himself look utterly pathetic.
At that time, Lin Huowang called him to his office and, in front of everyone, gave him only one choice: "As long as you divorce your current wife and sever ties with your current children, I will acknowledge you as my father and take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
Unexpectedly, this heartless father agreed without the slightest hesitation.
But before he could even enjoy the good life with his son, Lin Huowang had the news relayed to Lin Fugui's current wife.
As a result, his fierce wife, upon learning of this, immediately gathered her brothers and had him, the heartless man, arrested and brought back. They even broke his legs and locked him up at home before the matter was considered closed.
"I never expected this..."
Lin Huowang shook his head and chuckled to himself, "In this life, he knew about my success much earlier, and he became even bolder, daring to come to my door... to rob me? Luckily... luckily I had a backup plan, having Brother Da Niu and the hunting team protect my mother and Xiao Xue."
This hidden danger must be completely eliminated.
He didn't care about being "morally blackmailed" himself, but he would never allow his mother and sister to be frightened in the slightest.
Since that's the case...
A wicked smile crept onto Lin Huowang's lips again.
"Then... let's try the same trick again!"
He wanted to make this father receive the punishment he deserved once again.
"Mother, Xiaoxue."
Lin Huowang took his mother and sister's hands, his smile gentle, but his eyes were frighteningly cold. "Come on, I'll take you to settle this old matter once and for all."
"Awang, what are you doing?"
Lin's mother was a little scared, "Don't do anything rash! He... he is, after all..."
“Mother,” Lin Huowang interrupted her, “I won’t lay a finger on him. I’m just… going to give him a choice.”
...
Soon, the jeep kicked up a cloud of dust and stopped in Linyuanzhuang Production Brigade of Ant River Commune, where Lin Huowang, his mother, and his sister had once lived a nightmarish life.
Lin Huowang led his mother and sister straight to the entrance of that familiar, somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
