"Yu'er, you know the current situation of our Great Xia... endless internal strife and covert warfare! This concerns the fate of the nation, and we absolutely cannot afford to panic now! Only by weathering this difficult period can our Great Xia usher in a long-lasting period of prosperity!!"
Lin Yuanlong said with a fawning expression, "You are my son, Lin Yuanlong. You can't just think about personal grudges; you must also consider the well-being of all people!"
To hell with the world and its people!
Lin Yu remained unmoved, coldly saying, "Don't give me that righteous nonsense. As a son, if you can't even avenge your mother's murder, what are you talking about regarding family, country, and the world? Do you think I'm as pathetic as you? Unable to even protect my own woman??"
Such a question was deafening, and Lin Yuanlong's face froze. He fell silent for a moment.
After a long silence, a bitter look appeared on his face, and he sighed, "You're right, I'm not a good husband, much less a good father!"

Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "My life is right here. You can take it away anytime!"
"Lin Yuanlong, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Lin Yu opened his eyes and asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have given me that injection! You are still my son!"
"You!" Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he let go.
"Fine, I'll give you a week. After a week, whether it succeeds or not, Wu Xueqin must die!"
Lin Yu said coldly, "I am the master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion! You should understand that whether or not I become the King of the Northeast is not a choice for me!"
