Governor Wu got up from the ground and slunk away like a dog.
He's now kicking himself. If he'd known he was facing such a monstrous figure, he would never have come.
After they left, Lin Jinglong's expression softened.
"Mr. Lin, are you alright?"
Xia Wanying noticed that his expression was off, so she asked him with concern.
"It's alright, what a magnificent War God!"
"If he hadn't come to me of his own accord, I wouldn't have known this was related to him!"
"Mr. Lin, the Sky-Supporting War God is one of the eight War Gods of the Great Xia Kingdom. He commands a large army. How can you fight him alone?"
Xia Wanying also felt a little sorry for the man in front of her.
"I don't care how many people he has, or what his status is. As long as he has the blood of my Lin family on him, I will make him pay for his debt in blood!"
Lin Jinglong's eyes were filled with overwhelming killing intent!
...
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in the north.
The God of War was drinking in his tent when suddenly, a subordinate rushed in from outside the tent in a panic.
"Report... Lord War God, no, something terrible has happened!"
"Damn it, what's the rush?" The God of War was furious when he was interrupted.
"explain!"
"Commander Luo and Commander Yang just reported that Commander Luo's arms have been crippled and he is seriously injured, and Commander Yang is also injured!"
"Lin Jinglong also said..."
The God of War, Optimus Prime, suddenly stood up from his chair: "What did you say?"
"He told you to wash your neck and wait! He's coming to take your head himself!"
The officer buried his head deep in the ground, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the mighty war god.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
"Can't even handle a mere kid!"
The God of War slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
"Lin Jinglong, you're something else! I underestimated you!"
"Hahaha, I'll wait right here. I want to see what this kid can do to me."
The God of War, Optimus Prime, gave a cold laugh.
Back at the company, Lin Jinglong collected all of his father's clothes and photos.
Among them was a family photo of the five of them. Lin Jinglong stared at the photo for a long time.
He dialed a phone number, and the call was quickly answered. The voice of Old Mrs. Lin came from the other end of the line.
"Hey! Grandson, why are you calling me?"
"Grandma, I have a question. Did my dad and grandpa tell you that the Lin family has something important?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time.
"Jinglong, I've heard your grandfather mention something important before!"
"What is that?" Lin Jinglong was immediately startled.
"I heard that your grandfather spent a lot of money to buy back that landscape painting in the ancestral hall at auction!"
"It seems like it cost thirty or forty million!"
"However, he sold that thing later!"
Lin Jinglong was speechless. It seemed that even his grandmother was unaware of the situation.
Lin Jinglong guessed that the reason those people spared a few lives was to lure him out of the mountains.
Why are you asking these questions?
"It's nothing, Grandma. The people who killed my parents and grandfather are very mysterious. They came to the Lin family to find something!" Lin Jinglong said solemnly.
"Dragon Shock!"
"I remember that before your mother had the accident, she went out once, and it seems she went back to the Yun family!"
"Could it be..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
"The Yun family?"
A barely perceptible hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Jinglong's eyes.
His mother's name was Yun Qiuyan, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, the most powerful family in Yunzhou.
Back then, Yun Qiuyan and her father, Lin Hao, were deeply in love and begged the Yun family to grant them their marriage.
However, Yun Qiuyan's father, Yun Zhenyang, the current head of the Yun family, absolutely refused to agree to the marriage.
He then betrothed Yun Qiuyan to the eldest son of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in Yuncheng. At that time, the Lin family had not yet risen to prominence, and no one looked down on Lin Hao.
Yun Qiuyan eloped with Lin Hao for love and came to the capital, severing all ties with the Yun family.
Why would my mother visit the Yun family not long ago, after more than 20 years of no contact?
Is there some secret involved?
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jinglong frowned deeply. It seemed he would have to make another trip to the Yun family.
Back then, his mother suffered countless humiliations in the Yun family. Even without this incident, Lin Jinglong would still go to the Yun family to seek justice for his mother and take back what rightfully belonged to her.
...
Heading to the capital, to the Yang family!
"Impossible! How could Lin Jinglong, that good-for-nothing, become so powerful?"
"Three years ago, he was a spoiled brat who didn't even know what martial arts were!"
In the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man in a suit looked utterly shocked.
"Yes, cousin, even if he is a genius, it is impossible for him to surpass a grandmaster in just three years!"
"If he were really that powerful, wouldn't he be able to protect the Lin family?"
A young man in his mid-twenties standing next to Yang Ruoxue mocked her.
"I saw him kill Master Chen in a single move!"
"If he wants to cause me trouble, no one in the Yang family can stop him!"
Thinking back to how she had humiliated Lin Jinglong, Yang Ruoxue felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.
No, how could I possibly regret it!
Even if he is not what he used to be, he is still just a brute. If he wants the Lin family to rise, he can't rely on his fists alone.
At present, the Yang family is at the height of its power and influence. Given time, it will surely become one of the most prestigious families in the capital.
Lin Jinglong is not good enough for me at all, Yang Ruoxue kept comforting herself.
"Daughter, is Lin Jinglong really that amazing?"
"If he's really that powerful, then our Yang family not only can't afford to offend him, but we also have to try our best to win him over!"
"If all else fails... daughter, go and apologize to Lin Jinglong!"
Yang Ruoxue's father, Yang Hai, suddenly spoke.
Yang Ruoxue was stunned when she heard those words!
Half a day later, her expression changed, and she said angrily, "Dad, what kind of person do you take me for?"
"I am not a commodity, and besides, you were the one who urged me to break off the engagement!"
"I will never apologize to Lin Jinglong!"
Yang Ruoxue valued her reputation above all else. When she broke off the engagement, she had belittled Lin Jinglong to the point of being worthless.
If she goes back to apologize to him now, the whole capital will laugh at her.
Moreover, Lin Jinglong had only learned a little kung fu; she didn't think he would amount to much in the future.
"Dad, just you wait. I heard that the Lin family has offended a super power in the Great Xia Kingdom. It won't be long before the Lin family is finished!"
"Let's stay away from this jinx. Once I secure that business project tomorrow, the Yang family's stock price will at least double!"
"What does Lin Jinglong have to compare with our Yang family?"
Yang Ruoxue was full of confidence; his proposed plan had already been approved by Boss Qian.
With this collaboration, she no longer needs to be beholden to anyone!
