Ye Junfei coughed lightly and said, "My family's problems probably can't be solved with money."
Lin Yunzhi disagreed: "Your family has such a large business, can't you even solve this with money?"
Ye Junfei: "...It might be a bit big, mainly because they have a lot of ideas."
Hearing this, Lin Yunzhi felt a little relieved. Ye Junfei's family was wealthy, and he was assured that even if something happened to the Lin family in the future, Ye Junfei would still be there to support them.
As for Ye Junfei's family having many opinions, that's fine. As long as the couple works together and deals with him the same way they dealt with Zhou Chenyang, it will be fine.
There's nothing to be afraid of!
After parting ways with Lin Yunzhi, Ye Junfei felt somewhat conflicted.
However, he was always deep in thought and usually greeted everyone with a smile, so no one could tell what was on his mind at this moment.
However, there was still a big problem waiting for him to solve at the Prince of Pingnan's residence.
He was always decisive and ruthless, and he quickly made up his mind.
Marrying Princess Anle is impossible for him; he's determined to have the Prince of Pingnan's mansion too.
Although the road ahead is much more difficult than he expected, he has nothing to fear.
The only problem he needed to solve at that moment was how to win Lin Xiuyan's heart.
After all, she treats him better now than before, but they are still a long way from discussing marriage.
And beside her were Xu Qianting and Fan Xilou, both of whom were eyeing her; this matter couldn't be delayed.
As evening fell, Ye Junfei and Wudao left the Lin residence. (M.cascoo.net)
As soon as they left, someone immediately relayed the news back to the city lord's mansion.
Zhou Chenyang said coldly, "It's tonight!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately ordered Liu Tianwen to gather troops and prepare to massacre the Lin family tonight.
According to their plan, simply massacring the Lin family would be too obvious a target and could easily attract trouble, so they planned to rob several other wealthy households in Chongqing as well.
To prevent Xu Shoubei from interfering, Zhou Chenyang sent one of his trusted men to drink with Xu Shoubei and keep him occupied.
As night fell, the atmosphere in Chongqing became somewhat tense.
The people sensed something was wrong and went home early to close their doors.
There were fewer city guards on duty on the streets than before, and they were all far away from the houses where Zhou Chenyang and his group had made their move.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Chenyang personally handled the matter.
So after he had all his men, he left the city lord's mansion and went directly to the tallest restaurant in Yu City, where he directed and coordinated everything.
He stared coldly in the direction of the Lin residence, his eyes filled with cruelty: "Lin Xiuyan, I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it!"
"If you're determined to die, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers hidden in the shadows saw the signal and immediately began to move.
Zhou Chenyang was afraid of revealing the soldiers' identities, so he changed their clothes early on and even made them disturb their footsteps.
So when they came out, their footsteps were somewhat disorderly.
Even though their footsteps were chaotic, they still carried a murderous aura.
Ordinary people at home were terrified when they heard the noise, their hearts pounding.
Some of the bolder ones got up and looked out through the crack in the door, and saw that there were people carrying big knives everywhere on the street.
Those men looked extremely fierce, and their attire resembled that of legendary notorious bandits.
The voyeurs were so frightened that they quickly shrank back and dragged down the cabinet to block the door.
That night, everyone in Chongqing knew that something big was about to happen.
Some people thought about reporting it to the authorities, but seeing so many people outside, no one had the courage.
Some people only thought about protecting themselves and reinforced all the doors and windows in their homes.
Some people were hoping the officials would arrive soon, because this situation was becoming too frightening!
However, it's certain that the officials won't be coming tonight.
Tonight in Chongqing, government officials and soldiers have turned into bandits, robbing wealthy households. The heinous nature of their actions and the cruelty of their methods have broken records in the Great Chu Dynasty.
Lin Xiuyan immediately began setting up defenses as soon as Ye Junfei and Wudao left.
Lin Yunzhi asked her, "Yan'er, what are you doing?"
"Better safe than sorry," Lin Xiuyan replied. "Zhou Chenyang is an utterly despicable person."
“He doesn’t dare to confront the young master head-on. Once the young master leaves the Lin residence, he might just make a move.”
Her past life experiences gave her a deep understanding of Zhou Chenyang.
Furthermore, given Junfei's sudden departure tonight, she strongly suspects that Zhou Chenyang did something to cause trouble.
She didn't expose him to Ye Junfei, firstly because she had no evidence, and secondly because there was never any relationship between them to begin with.
She had no grounds to ask him to stay and protect her.
Most importantly, she didn't want to owe anyone any more favors.
Meanwhile, she had been training the servants of the Lin family, wanting to see their fighting prowess.
Lin Yunzhi felt that Lin Xiuyan's speculation made some sense, and he immediately went to find Qu Shuangyue.
Lin Xiuyan pulled him back and said, "Father, take these."
She handed Lin Yunzhi a few mechanisms.
Of the three family members, Lin Yunzhi was the only one who didn't know martial arts and was the weakest in combat.
She was afraid that Lin Yunzhi would be in danger if a fight really broke out, so she gave him a few more mechanisms.
Lin Yunzhi knew she had loved tinkering with these things since she was little, and as a doting father, he was very happy: "Yan'er has grown up, she can even protect her father now!"
He didn't even consider whether the mechanisms she made would work.
In his mind, whatever Lin Xiuyan did was right, and whatever she made was the best in the world.
Lin Xiuyan looked at him earnestly and said, "Father protected me before, but from now on, I will protect you!"
Lin Yunzhi merely listened to these words and didn't take them to heart at all.
He is her father, it is only natural for him to protect her!
When he carried a bunch of mechanisms back to show Qu Shuangyue, he said, "Yan'er and I are the closest! She cares about me the most!"
Qu Shuangyue looked at him like he was an idiot.
The couple had a very good relationship; the only time they might have a disagreement was about who their daughter was closest to.
Although Qu Shuangyue used to beat Lin Xiuyan, she always believed that "bratty children need to be disciplined, and spoiling a daughter is like killing her" and that "a daughter is a mother's cotton-padded coat," so Lin Xiuyan was closest to her.
Whenever the couple had this kind of discussion, Qu Shuangyue always won because she had a hard fist and high fighting skills.
Now, when she saw Lin Yunzhi's mechanisms, she felt a pang of sadness: "Yan'er gave you so many mechanisms to save your life, but you're just too useless!"
Lin Yunzhi was still very happy: "If I were too useful, how could I feel the care that my dear daughter has for me?"
Qu Shuangyue wanted to smash his head in again. This man was good in every way, except that he could be a jerk sometimes.
The couple hadn't reached a conclusion yet when they heard a flurry of footsteps outside.
Qu Shuangyue's expression changed slightly, and her brows furrowed: "Did Yan'er guess correctly?"
Lin Yunzhi sighed, "As expected of my daughter, she's incredibly insightful!"
