Everyone in the room gasped, their eyes wide with horror.
That strength is practically divine!
Qin Jinshen's lips twitched twice, his sinister expression cracking little by little as he re-examined the burly man in front of him, who was half a head taller than him and wore a military green shirt but still had a lot of muscles.
He never expected that Ling Huanwu, a pampered woman from the city, would find such a rough and uncouth man as her husband.
Glancing at the woman hiding behind the man, who seemed completely dumbfounded, Qin Jin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He hadn't tormented this woman who had caused his sister to become a vegetable yet, and he hadn't heard her sobbing and begging for mercy while she was being tortured. How could he possibly let her go?
"Alright, your name is Zhou Jiuzhen, right?" Qin Jinshen wiped the thick layer of saliva sprayed on his face, a cruel smile curving his lips. "Then you'd better protect your precious wife and not let her be alone. Otherwise, if she falls into my hands, I'll make her regret ever being born!"
After uttering those harsh words, Qin Jinshen took a step back, raised his head, flicked his finger, and led a large group of people away from the Ling family compound, which had been smashed to pieces.
After all the Qin family members left the Ling family, Ling's parents were already drenched in a cold sweat.
Song Yaoyao was so frightened that she hid behind the two of them and dared not come out.
The three were afraid that Zhou Jiuzhen would get angry and pull up the money tree to hit them.
“Daughter…son-in-law,” Ling’s father mustered his courage and stepped forward, rubbing his hands together in flattery, “Why don’t you stay here with us tonight? We really owe you a lot just now, otherwise Huanwu would probably have been taken away by those ruthless Qin family members.”
At this moment, Ling Huanwu also recovered from her shock. After calming down, she looked at her father, who was all smiles, and then glanced at Song Yaoyao hiding behind her mother. She sneered, "Stop pretending. Wasn't it you who deliberately called Qin Jinshen from upstairs? Are you so eager for your own daughter to die?"
"What do you mean by death! Do you think Qin Jinshen is afraid of what might happen to you if he goes to jail? Besides, you are the eldest daughter of our Ling family. He just wanted to scare you and get revenge for his sister. You were fine when you were rescued last time, weren't you?"
Ling's mother hugged the trembling Song Yaoyao tightly, disbelieving that someone of Qin Jinshen's status would do anything outrageous. Her tone was also somewhat accusatory, "Don't blame us for calling him. Who told you to be so aggressive and try to kick your parents out!"
Ling Huanwu knew that her biological parents were blind and deaf, but she never imagined that they would be so blind.
If Zhou Jiuzhen hadn't arrived in time, that knife would probably have been stuck in her shoulder.
But they just thought it was to scare her.
Ling Huanwu tugged at Zhou Jiuzhen's sleeve and whispered to him, "Let's go stay at the guesthouse outside. I'm afraid those people will come looking for us again if we stay here."
Even if we get the house back now and protect the property inside, it won't make a difference.
Because she was constantly facing Qin Jinshen, who could come knocking at any moment, she was always at risk of losing her life.
Zhou Jiuzhen didn't say much, he put his arm around her shoulder and tried to leave quickly.
The moment his hand touched Ling Huanwu's slender and petite shoulder, she hissed softly, her delicate face scrunched up, and her usually expressive eyes welled up with tears, as if she were in considerable pain.
The two guards had just twisted her arms behind her back with such force that she could no longer lift her hands due to the pain.
Without a word, Zhou Jiuzhen bent down, slipped his arm under her knees, and easily lifted her up, striding away from the Ling family.
Ling's parents breathed a sigh of relief, but Song Yaoyao stared intently at Zhou Jiuzhen holding Ling Huanwu, dumbfounded, unable to believe her eyes.
The man who was always cold and distant to her in her previous life would so considerately pick up a woman in a princess carry.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Ling's mother hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her, thinking that she had been frightened by the two wolf-like men just now.
Ling's father slumped back onto the sofa with a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken. "Yaoyao, it's all thanks to your brilliant idea of calling Qin Jinshen over. Otherwise, that rebellious daughter would have really taken our family fortune today."
"Don't worry, your parents will leave these assets to you. I'll call a lawyer over tomorrow to leave them to you."
Upon hearing this, all the gloom that had just been hanging over Song Yaoyao vanished.
With this wealth in hand, who cares about her husband from her previous life?
Besides, Zhou Jiuzhen died less than two years after he went to the island. Even if Ling Huanwu and Zhou Jiuzhen could become husband and wife, she would still be a widow.
Thinking about all this, Song Yaoyao nestled in Ling's mother's arms, her lips pressed together, yet she couldn't hide the joy of soon possessing a large fortune...

Inside the guesthouse.
Ling Huanwu carried a bucket of water from the public restroom outside back to her room, where she dry-washed herself through the curtain.
She washed very slowly.
She deliberately bribed the guesthouse staff to say there were no rooms available, just so she could have a room alone with him.
After taking a shower, I saw Zhou Jiuzhen sitting on the edge of the bed, applying medicine in front of the mirror.
Several long scars could be seen on the bulging muscles on the man's back.
There was a palm-sized knife scar on his shoulder, and it was unclear when it was left during the fight at the Ling family.
Ling Huanwu dried her wet hair with a towel and stepped barefoot onto the cement floor.
The rough texture of the mud beneath her feet inexplicably stirred her sensitive and fragile nerves.
Regardless, even if this man is impotent today, she will still win him over, conquer him, and make him lose himself in the world.
Tonight, she must clear out a large space and empty the Ling family's property.
