"Alright, let's not dwell on the past! Let's talk about something important!"
Lin Yuanlong's expression gradually became serious, his previous dejected look completely gone.
"What do you think about the Huang family's affairs?" Lin Yuanlong's eyes flashed with a chilling light. At this moment, he was like a lion awakening, exuding a murderous aura.
Lin Yu said calmly, "I already know the details. A bitch from a third-rate family colluded with four major families! However, I don't believe that this rabble has the ability to bring down a noble family!"
Lin Yuanlong nodded in agreement, then sighed, "In the end, it's because Lao Huang openly came to Fengtian to cooperate with my Lin family and readily gave you a letter of recommendation. Some people are unhappy about that!"
"Could it be the Wu family?" Lin Yu asked, frowning.
In his view, the people behind this rabble were most likely the aristocratic families of Yandu!
The Huang family's close relationship with the Lin family was undoubtedly a provocation to them. He knew that aristocratic families valued their reputation, but he never expected them to be so ruthless as to try to wipe them out!
Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "It's hard to say. The Wu family suffered the most from your actions, so they are indeed the most suspicious. But it's also very possible that someone wants to further escalate the conflict and use someone else to do their dirty work!"
“After all, with the economic slowdown and resource shortages in recent years, there’s not enough pie to go around…” Lin Yuanlong said with a meaningful expression.
Lin Yu chuckled, his face showing disdain and disgust. "Internal strife has never changed in thousands of years. For such a tiny bit of profit, it is truly despicable! If this could be recorded in history books, I wonder how these parasites would have the face to live on in this world!"
Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "People die for wealth, birds die for food—it's an age-old truth. It's just that the methods used by the upper class are more sophisticated and covert! There's nothing new under the sun!"
"So, what is the purpose of you holding onto your military power?" Lin Yu asked, his expression shifting slightly. "If you were to reach that position one day, would you repeat their mistakes?"
Lin Yuanlong was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "I don't know. Even if I could do it, I can't guarantee that my men could. In this life, we are not in control of our own destiny. You are the same, and so am I!"
"No, I'm not like you!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Lin Yuanlong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes shone brightly as he said, "Yu'er, could it be that you already have a plan?"
"Don't misunderstand!" Lin Yu quickly denied. "I'm used to being free. Fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds to me. Everything I'm experiencing right now is just a game to me! If I could, I would rather be playing with tanks in the Middle East than in this filthy place, scheming against a bunch of treacherous people!"
"However, if one day the time is right, I will do everything in my power to ensure that all people live a good life! To ensure that all core technologies belong to my Great Xia, so that my descendants will not be swayed by hostile ideologies! To ensure that lost territories are brought back into the map! To weaken the power of officials, so that there are no more powerful and corrupt officials in the world, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that medical care, education, and housing will no longer be a burden on the people, so that everyone can live a life where there is hope as long as they work hard!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking these words with great passion, it was as if he had made a vow that shook the entire earth.
At this moment, Lin Yuanlong was shocked.
Although this was his son, at this moment, in his eyes, he seemed as tall and imposing as a mountain.
After a long while, he gradually regained his composure and couldn't help but sigh, "As your father, I am not as good as you..."
Lin Yu's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "You've gotten old. When you were young, you were probably just like me!"
"Although I may not be able to do all of these things, since God has given me this opportunity, I will try my best!"
"All that I have today—power, wealth—is a gift from God! Since He has given me this position, if I don't use it and only indulge in pleasure and wealth, that would be a terrible sin! In my opinion, a true man, standing in this world, should not fail to benefit all living beings; that is shameful!" Lin Yu said with a firm gaze.
Lin Yuanlong nodded with satisfaction. "Indeed, I had those thoughts when I was young, but I wasn't as educated as you and didn't know what to do. In those turbulent times, ending the war was my only mission!"
"Our ancestors, and our ancestors' ancestors, conquered this land, and it is still up to you, their descendants, to protect it!"
"The old blind man once told my fortune: the old fear the peak of prosperity, the young fear decline. At every stage, you must do things that are appropriate for the time. This future belongs to you!"
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But for now, I can only entrust the affairs within the pass to you!"
"Our Lin family owes the Huang family a debt! We must repay this debt!" Lin Yuanlong said solemnly.
Lin Yu nodded. "Don't worry, those who need to be dealt with won't escape! But there's one thing I don't quite understand..."
"Why did Huang Anxiong die? I remember I prescribed medicine for him before, so there shouldn't be any problems!"
Lin Yuanlong sighed helplessly when this matter was mentioned.
"It's a pity that he ultimately didn't believe your prescription and opted for surgery. That old man is fine in every way, but he's just too stubborn and only believes in his own reasoning! Sigh!" Lin Yuanlong said with a regretful expression.
Lin Yu suddenly realized that Huang Anxiong hadn't really paid much attention to his prescription at the time.
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Fortune and prosperity are determined by heaven, this is fate. You don't need to be too sad. I will give you an explanation regarding the Huang family's matter!"
"No matter who's behind this, I will eradicate them completely!" After saying this, Lin Yu got up and walked outside.
"Yu'er!" Lin Yuanlong suddenly called out to him.
"When we get inside the pass, please sweep Old Huang's grave for me!" Lin Yuanlong said, his eyes red.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, nodded, and strode outside.
...
One day later.
Cemetery in the northern suburbs of Guannei.
On the desolate hillside, graves are scattered among the pines and cypresses.
Some graves are like orphans, already forgotten, while others are new graves surrounded by wreaths and offerings.
There is a truth in this world: no matter how glorious one was in life, after death, as time goes by, everyone will be forgotten.
at this time!
Beneath a tall, verdant cypress tree, a newly built grave was unusually bustling.
However, these people did not come to offer flowers and fruit to commemorate the deceased; instead, they were wantonly humiliating him!
Some people threw eggs, some threw feces, and one greasy man even pulled out a weapon and started spraying it at the tombstone!
Squeak!
A jeep was parked steadily on the hillside. Through the window, the cold-faced young man who saw this scene instantly turned icy!
At this moment, in his eyes, these people were already dead!
