Chapter 251 - 250: Lin Family Crisis
After thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong continued, "The situation is quite urgent now. Mr. Wei is leaving, so we must separate Bao and Zhang Xiao, with each of them guarding different places. There’s only one day left, everyone, let’s give it our all."
"Yes, we’ll do as Little Master instructs."
Zhang Xiao and Bao said in unison.
"This....."
Wei Li, although a bit worried, knew this wasn’t just about whether he would face repercussions. The complaint was intended to alert the Manor Master.
These people were sent by him, and when the Ancient Martial Cultivator Association hands out punishments, the Manor Master will definitely be implicated as well. This would put Tianshu Manor in danger.
Wei Li couldn’t bear this responsibility, so he shook his head helplessly and eventually returned to Tianshu Manor.
In no time, the most crucial moment arrived. Around nine on Friday evening, two masters appeared simultaneously with Gu Haijun and Liang Hongwei; one was from the Celestial Wolf Gang led by Ye Xiong, and the other from the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
If Bao and Zhang Xiao were to join forces, they could barely manage a draw, but now things were different. Facing two-on-one, the situation was different.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, Bao and Zhang Xiao were defeated, and Gu Haijun and Liang Hongwei were captured.
Receiving the news, Chen Tianlong felt restless, knowing that at two in the afternoon on Saturday, the selection meeting of the four great families would begin, and now these people were captured.
Adding in those other unknown small shareholders, it could be said that the Lin Family’s situation was extremely perilous.
Moreover, what Chen Tianlong didn’t expect was that after capturing Gu Haijun and Liang Hongwei, Hao Shuai and Ye Xiong didn’t stop there but sent people directly to the Lin Family Mansion.
At this moment, Lin Wushuang, Mr. Hu, and her father, Lin Batian, were all in the mansion, worried upon seeing so many cars arriving outside.
Ye Xiong and Hao Shuai, with a group of experts, entered the Lin Family Mansion. Seeing this, Mr. Hu immediately rushed forward, only to be struck unconscious, his fate unknown.
"Mr. Hu, wake up!"
Lin Wushuang felt a pang of pain seeing Mr. Hu knocked unconscious. He was the housekeeper who had watched her grow up. Tonight was the first time Lin Wushuang saw Mr. Hu being abused.
Mr. Hu was a retired soldier, handpicked by her father to be hired as the housekeeper, who was always the one overpowering others. Now, he’s the one overpowered instead.
It was imaginable how terrifying these people were.
"What are you doing? Don’t you have any regard for the law?"
Lin Batian was a man of many experiences, having known this day would come, just not expecting these people to come so soon.
"Heh, heh, President Chen, I’m afraid you know pretty well what’s going on without us saying too much." Hao Shuai sneered, then stepped closer to Lin Batian, took a deep puff of cigarette, and blew it onto Lin Batian’s face.
Lin Batian gritted his teeth, holding back his impulse.
"Whatever you want to do, just say it outright, no need for beating around the bush," Lin Batian said coldly after taking a deep breath.
"Heh, heh, fine, I’ll be straightforward. Most of your company’s shares are already in my hands, just missing your two portions. As for who your mysterious shareholder is, I don’t care, but I hope you can resign from the position of the president and let Gu Haijun take over. That’s all I’ve got to say."
Hao Shuai laid out his intentions.
"How dare you, who do you think you are? How can a kid like you meddle in our company’s business? Ridiculous." Lin Batian said, looking at Hao Shuai as if he were a fool.
"Haha, President Chen, don’t get angry, I’m just giving you a suggestion. If you don’t want to agree, that’s fine, but eventually, you will," Hao Shuai said, then gestured, and two men moved towards Lin Wushuang, firmly grabbing her.
"What are you trying to do? Kidnap? Threaten? I’ll sue you." Lin Batian felt a bit nervous when he saw his daughter being taken.
If it were anything else, he could remain calm, but not when it concerned Lin Wushuang, who he couldn’t rest easy about.
"I’ve said what I needed to. We haven’t touched your shares, just want you to vacate the position. You can call the police if you wish, but do you think they can do anything to us? At that time, they’d have no evidence and would trust your word alone?" Hao Shuai said dismissively.
"Moreover, if you call the police, the consequences will be serious. Some of our guys think of themselves as expendable, and if they act impulsively, doing who-knows-what to your daughter, that’s out of my hands."
"You... you rogue, shameless, you’ll come to no good!"
Lin Batian knew what Hao Shuai implied. With the Xu Family and Xie Family’s power, they could accomplish this seemingly without issues.
The main issue was that the Lin Family was barely able to protect itself now, so how could they win a legal battle against them?
"Alright, I’m taking her away for now. Make your decision by noon tomorrow, or you’ll be collecting a corpse, and I mean a bare one, haha....."
Hao Shuai finished with a wave, preparing to leave with them.
At this very moment, a familiar voice rang out.....
"Stop, leave them here!"
Chen Tianlong finally arrived. As he got out of the car, he sprinted over, now standing at the entrance, panting heavily.
Even though he knew his arrival couldn’t change much, Chen Tianlong couldn’t just watch the Lin Family fall and Lin Wushuang being taken.
"Wow, I thought you’d turned turtle at such a crucial time and wouldn’t come out as a hero to save the day, how wasteful,"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s appearance, Hao Shuai was delighted. He had been wondering how to deal with him since, every day that Chen Tianlong continued, he’d become his greatest adversary.
At the moment, his strategies were no less formidable than his own. If it weren’t for his father using a trump card, this kid’s plan might have succeeded. So overall, Hao Shuai was lucky this time, and Chen Tianlong lost due to bad luck.
"Cut the crap, let Lin Wushuang go!"
At that moment, Chen Tianlong only wanted to rescue Lin Wushuang; other matters he put aside temporarily. One could say he was rash this time.
But sometimes, emotions can triumph over reason, and Chen Tianlong happened to be in this state of mind.
Lin Wushuang, in his heart, was a friend, and indescribable feelings were involved. Like now, he was really worried that after Lin Wushuang was taken away, she’d be in danger or harmed.
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn’t care for his own safety and stepped forward. Honestly, this battle was a do-or-die.
"Haha, kid, are you kidding me? Do you even know the situation? Do you think you alone can handle us with so many experts here?"
Hao Shuai laughed. Not to mention the other experts, he alone was enough trouble for Chen Tianlong, let alone the presence of Ye Xiong from the Celestial Wolf Gang and the two experts from Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
Chen Tianlong didn’t say much, instead, he closed his eyes, and began to operate his Heart Method at a high speed. His current goal was just to snatch Lin Wushuang back from the expert holding her, and then escape.
