Chapter 44 Fat Meat Delivered to Your Door



It was not until the early morning of the next day that Lin Hao returned to the Zhao Mansion.

Seeing Lin Hao return home, the servants all breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Hao suddenly disappeared again like last time, they would probably have to go out looking for him day and night.

Fortunately, thanks to God, I finally got this guy back.

Feeling the strange looks from everyone around him, Lin Hao ignored them and walked straight towards the cafeteria.

After practicing in the rental house for a whole night, he was now very hungry.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Lin Hao ordered a few breakfast items and started eating alone.

The Zhao family members in the hall didn't seem to pay much attention to his arrival. They were all talking about two major events that happened last night.

One was that the head of the Li family was mysteriously assassinated while having sex with a prostitute.

The second was that the Lin family mobilized all the family masters, rushed to the Li family's villa outside the city at night, and launched a surprise attack.

Although there are many warriors guarding the villa, most of them are level three fighters.

But these were thugs hastily hired by the Li family after they discovered the Lingyang Stone mine. They were just a group of rabble.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Lin family team, they could not hold on for long before they became a pile of loose sand and fled in all directions.

Eventually, the Lingyang Stone mine was occupied by the Lin family, who seized tens of thousands of kilograms of Lingyang Stone rough material and captured many miners who were mining.

In order to protect his family's reputation, Lin Hongkang did not kill anyone.

Instead, they brought the miners back to Tianwu City to testify, and announced in the city that it was not the Lin family who forcibly seized the mine, but the Li family who first breached the contract, so they took action to seize the operating rights.

The next morning, in the hall of the front yard of the Zhao Mansion.

"The Lin family really made a profit this time!"

After Zhao Tianlie heard the news, he couldn't help but look envious.

"It will not damage the family's reputation, and it will also allow us to seize the mining rights in a logical way."

He said in amazement: "Even if the Li family sues the City Lord's Mansion, they can't do anything to the Lin family. This move is really amazing."

Next to him, the chief butler Zhao Rong nodded and said in a low voice, "I don't know who leaked the news, but Li Qingshou died tragically in the mansion."

"Moreover, the killing method is very similar to that of a certain person..."

At this point, Zhao Rong paused, then looked at the Zhao family head meaningfully and said, "I heard that the son-in-law went to the Lin Mansion today."

"Jing Ke!"

Zhao Tianlie was startled for a moment, looking at Butler Zhao in surprise, then suddenly he realized.

"Tsk tsk, I knew this kid was no ordinary guy. Is he back now?"

"My son-in-law has returned home this morning and should be having dinner in the cafeteria now."

Hearing what Butler Zhao said, Zhao Tianlie nodded secretly, "He didn't come back all night, and with that killing method, the assassin who assassinated Li Qingshou last night is most likely him."

Immediately, he said to Butler Zhao with a serious face: "Lin Hao's identity is very sensitive. If it is exposed, it will not be good for our Zhao Mansion. Be careful with your words and actions!"

"Including the people of the Lin family, no matter what they ask, don't tell them unless Lin Hao admits it himself."

After saying this, a hint of solemnity flashed in Zhao Tianlie's eyes.

With the various mysterious abilities that Lin Hao has displayed in recent times, he has already understood.

This boy can only be a close friend and must not be offended.

Otherwise, the prey that Lin Hao assassinated would most likely become someone from their Zhao Mansion.

Besides, with the relationship as my father-in-law, things won’t be too bad.

Zhao Rong nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Master."

"A guest has arrived."

Just then, a servant of the Zhao family appeared at the door of the hall with Lin Hongkang.

"Brother Lin, what brings you here today?"

Seeing this, Zhao Tianlie was slightly surprised, then he said with a smile: "And you didn't even tell me you were coming so I could ask the servants to prepare some wine and food."

"Don't bother."

Lin Hongkang laughed and said bluntly: "I need to find Lin Hao for something. Is he in the mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlie was slightly surprised.

He knew Lin Hongkang very well. He was extremely profit-driven and had always disliked Lin Hao, a waste who made no contribution to the family.

Why did he suddenly change his temper today and come to the Zhao Mansion in person to look for Lin Hao?

Could it be that because of what happened last night, the head of the Lin family also discovered Lin Hao’s identity?

Or maybe he already knew it?

As his mind turned, Zhao Tianlie asked tentatively, "Brother Lin, what do you want from Lin Hao?"

Lin Hongkang's eyes were slightly stern, and he stared at Zhao Tianlie with burning gaze, as if he wanted to see something from the other's eyes.

"You really don't know anything?" Lin Hongkang asked back.

Zhao Tianlie was slightly startled, then smiled calmly and said, "Brother Lin is really a joker. If you didn't tell me, how would I know?"

Hearing this, a hint of hidden coldness flashed in Lin Hongkang's eyes.

He laughed secretly in his heart, "This is better, so as to avoid dissolving the marriage with the Zhao family and causing unnecessary trouble."

Since learning yesterday that Lin Hao was actually a martial arts genius who practiced both combat and tactics, Lin Hongkang was undoubtedly shocked.

However, the Lin family has been lingering among the ranks of third-rate families since its inheritance till now. Now, they have finally given birth to such a talented child, but half a year ago, he was treated as a waste and married into the Zhao family!

Lin Hongkang now feels both regretful and surprised about this matter.

What we need to do now is to bring Lin Hao back into the family and focus on training him.

Thinking of this, Lin Hongkang smiled and said, "Actually, I came here today to discuss something with Brother Zhao."

"Brother Lin, please speak."

Zhao Tianlie smiled, completely unable to guess what Lin Hongkang was thinking.

Lin Hongkang asked: "Has Lin Hao's marriage to the Zhao family had any impact on you in the past six months?"

Zhao Tianlie waved his hands repeatedly, his smile also became brighter, and he praised: "Lin Hao has a calm temperament and has never caused any disputes in the mansion. I am very satisfied with him."

Hearing this, Lin Hongkang was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

As far as he knew, because of the cooperation with the black shop at that time, the Zhao family had always been prejudiced against Lin Hao, the son-in-law who married into the Zhao family.

Even after Zhao Linger obtained an internal admission quota to Tianyan Academy, she regarded Lin Hao as a stumbling block and could not wait to dissolve their marriage.

If Zhao Tianlie had any dissatisfaction with Lin Hao's evaluation at this moment, he could take this opportunity to ask Lin Hao to leave the Zhao Mansion.

However, now, the other party's answer completely disrupted the entire plan that Lin Hongkang had previously planned.

"Brother Zhao, please don't be so polite."

Lin Hongkang said seriously, "If Lin Hao really causes any harm to the Zhao family, I can take him back anytime!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlie's expression changed slightly.

He finally understood that Lin Hongkang's purpose this time was to come for Lin Hao!

Apparently, Lin Hao had demonstrated his strength when he went to the Lin Mansion yesterday, which made Lin Hongkang take a new look at him.

But Lin Hao is now a member of the Zhao family, so how could Zhao Tianlie be willing to let go of such a piece of gold?

"Brother Lin, I see that you don't just want to take it back, right?"

Zhao Tianlie smiled and said bluntly: "My daughter and Lin Hao are in love with each other, and they are husband and wife. It would not be a good idea for us to break up this pair of mandarin ducks."

His thoughts were exposed, and Lin Hongkang looked quite embarrassed.

"It seems that you already knew about Lin Hao's talent."

Lin Hongkang laughed dryly, then sighed: "Although Lin Hao is blind, based on my years of intuition, if he can grow up in the future, his potential in martial arts will be limitless."

"However, if this genius continues to live in the Zhao Mansion as a son-in-law, it will probably only fuel his revenge, which will be detrimental to both our families."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlie's expression froze, recalling the various humiliations Lin Hao had suffered in the Zhao Mansion before. He was not even as good as a servant.

Moreover, a while ago, Zhao Linger threatened to dissolve the marriage, which further stimulated Lin Hao.

If things continue to develop in this way, then I'm afraid it will be as bad as Lin Hongkang said.

The most important thing is that behind Lin Hao is the huge force of Mingge.

After some discussions, both parties unanimously decided to maintain the status quo.

The bet between Lin Hao and Zhao Linger allows him to use his own strength to defend his dignity.

The Lin and Li families assisted Lin Hao's cultivation and growth through training.

Little did they know that while they were talking, a strong ant was quietly lying at the crack of the door and heard everything clearly.

There is no doubt that this ant is Lin Hao’s pet No. 003, Ant-Man.

At this time, Lin Hao had already walked out of the cafeteria after eating and drinking, with all the information that Ant-Man saw and heard transmitted in real time in his mind.

"Assistance?"

A playful smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips.

Since there are two pigs delivered to your door, it would be a waste not to slaughter them.

Immediately, Lin Hao walked straight towards the front yard hall with a toothpick in his mouth.

From the information conveyed by Ant-Man, Lin Hao knew that at this moment, the butler Zhao Rong had just stepped out of the hall and was about to come over to find him.

Sure enough, the two of them soon met in a corridor halfway.

"Sir, do you like today's breakfast?"

Seeing Lin Hao, Zhao Rong immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"It's OK, but if you eat too much meat, you'll get sick of it. It would be much more refreshing if I could have a cup of soy milk."

Lin Hao smiled calmly and expressed his opinion.

"No problem. I will tell the kitchen to prepare some soy milk tomorrow."

Zhao Rong immediately nodded in response.

With his identity as the chief steward of the Zhao Mansion, it was absolutely a piece of cake to satisfy Lin Hao's food.

As for the cultivation resources, we have to rely on the two heads of the Lin and Li families.

"Son-in-law, Master Lin is visiting our house today and would like to invite you to meet him in the living room."

"Let's go."

Lin Hao already knew about this matter, so he took the lead after he finished speaking.

Looking at Lin Hao's steady and powerful steps, Zhao Rong was slightly startled.

If someone doesn’t know the situation, no one would believe that this person is actually a blind man!

Then, Lin Hao came to the hall.

As his right foot stepped into the door, the 'Ant-Man' who had been squatting there immediately followed Lin Hao's feet and climbed onto him.

"Lin Hao, thanks to you for revealing the information last night, otherwise our Lin family would still be in the dark."

Seeing Lin Hao coming in, Lin Hongkang hurriedly went up to him and laughed, without any airs of a patriarch at all.

"Brother Lin told me everything that happened last night."

Zhao Tianlie also walked over, stared at Lin Hao, and said in a displeased manner: "Lin Hao, you are now a member of our Zhao family. If there is any dangerous situation in the future, you must not act on your own. No matter how big the problem is, we have our Zhao family to support us."

"And our Lin family!"

Lin Hongkang did not show any weakness and tried his best to show goodwill in front of Lin Hao in order to mend the relationship between the two sides.

"Nothing, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

Faced with the warm greetings from the two family heads, Lin Hao felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and said modestly.

"That's right. What young people nowadays lack is a sense of responsibility like yours."

Zhao Tianlie exclaimed without even thinking.

"This time, our Lin family has made great gains from the Lingyang Stone Mine, and you have made the greatest contribution."

Lin Hongkang looked excited, looked at Lin Hao and said with a hearty smile: "Just tell me what you want."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart moved slightly.

Naturally, he would not be polite when the fat meat was delivered to his door.

"Since it is the master's wish, I can't refuse it."

"In a few days, I will go to Tianyan Academy to participate in the recruitment examination. I just happen to be short of money. If possible, I would like this amount."

Lin Hao told Nini what he had already thought of, and then showed the five fingers of his right palm.

"That's it?"

Hearing this, Lin Hongkang was stunned, feeling that Lin Hao's request was too easy to satisfy.

"Fifty thousand is too little. I'll give you five hundred thousand!"

Lin Hongkang was extremely generous and said, "I'll have someone apply for a Wanjin card for you tomorrow."

"No need, I have a 10,000 gold card, and the amount I have is not 50,000 or 500,000, but 50 million."

However, what Lin Hao said next made the head of the Lin family gasp.

"What! Fifty million?!"

He stared at Lin Hao in amazement, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, with a look of shock on his face.

Obviously, this so-called travel expenses was completely beyond my expectations.

"This kid is really ruthless. He asked for 50 million right away."

Zhao Tianlie, who was standing by, almost choked when he heard the amount and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Of course, he took a gloating attitude towards what happened to the head of the Lin family.

"If you can't afford it, then I can only appreciate the kindness the Patriarch just expressed."

Lin Hao said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I'll just take it as a polite remark."

"No!"

Seeing Lin Hao's nonchalant expression, Lin Hongkang seemed a little anxious, "This family master always keeps his word, fifty million, right? I'll transfer it to you right away."

As he spoke, he took out a Wanjin card, his palms trembling slightly.

Fifty million is equivalent to two years’ living expenses for the family!

He is heartbroken.

But what can he do? Now that Lin Hao’s talent for martial arts has been awakened, his ultimate cultivation talent is far beyond that of his peers. When he grows up, he will surely become a dominant force.

It’s only a matter of time before the Lin family becomes a first-class family.

Therefore, the mere 50 million taels are not worth mentioning at all!

Moreover, we robbed the Li family's Lingyang Stone mine last night, so the resources will be inexhaustible.

Lin Hongkang's mind raced as he weighed the future interests of his family and began to comfort himself.

"Thank you, Patriarch."

After completing the transfer, the smile on Lin Hao's face became brighter.

In this Li family incident, in terms of personal interests, he is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Three thousand Lingyang stones and fifty million in cash, he can be called a small tycoon!
