Chapter 433 Just So-so
Originally, Qin Sheng had thought Lin Changhe was smarter than Lin Changting, someone whom he could have a good conversation with. However, it did not occur to him that Lin Changhe could not figure the whole situation at all, since he still emphasized the so-called dignity and interest of the Lin Family. Qin Sheng was pretty unhappy about what Lin Changhe had said.
The current situation was not Qin Sheng’s fault. After all, in front of the Lin Family, Qin Sheng was indeed too negligible. Even though Qin Sheng dared to offend Lin Songhao, the Lin Family and the fat cat Lin Songhao could not be compared. After all, the foundation of the Lin Family, a family with hundreds of years’ worth of history, was there. Although the business of the Lin Family had been somewhat affected, many other aspects of the family were not fundamentally affected. After all, the old lady of the Lin Family was alive. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
As for who on earth Qin Sheng was, the Lin Family knew it better than anybody else. However amazing Qin Sheng was, he could not even turn the whole world upside down within a short period of two months. If he were that amazing, he wouldn’t have been driven out of Shanghai by Yan Chaozong, chased out of Hangzhou by various parties, almost lost his life.
The Lin Family wondered what the point of Qin Sheng acting arrogantly in the Lin Family house was.
As Qin Sheng heard Lin Changhe saying the Lin Family could not afford to be disgraced, he sneered without disguise and said, “Second Uncle Lin, is your family still dignified? If your family can’t afford to be disgraced, neither can the Qin Family!”
This was the first time that Qin Sheng had declared he was one member of the Qin Family to the people outside, meaning that what Qin Sheng stood for that day was not just himself but the whole Qin Family.
Since Lin Changhe had been greatly disturbed by the former half of Qin Sheng’s words, he didn’t pay attention to the latter half at all, which was the most important. He snorted and said, “Qin Sheng, don’t go too far. The reason why I was polite to you previously is that I still consider you as my junior. If you continue acting aggressively, don’t blame me for turning my back on you and being merciless. Do you think our family has no other ways to deal with you?”
Qin Sheng laughed out loud and said, “Second Uncle Li, as I said previously, don’t be polite to me. However your family likes to deal with me, I am waiting. The reason why I tried to reason with you is that you left a good impression on me and you took care of Susu well. Moreover, you are Lin Yue’s father. If you were somebody else, you wouldn’t even be ent.i.tled to speak with me.”
What Qin Sheng said was more and more presumptuous, which indicated that he simply made light of all the family members of the Lin Family. Although all the family members of the Lin Family were about to explode, none of them could do anything to Qin Sheng.
Lin Yue, who feared that her father would collide with her brother, ran over in a hurry and pulled Qin Sheng’s arms as she said, “Brother-in-law. I know you have lots of anger in your heart and you feel sorry for all the injustices my sister has gone through. Even so, can you please let my father off? He has never done anything against you.”
Lin Changhe scolded Lin Yue loudly and said, “Lin Yue, go back to your place.”
Lin Yue, who was not convinced by her father’s order, stared at Qin Sheng with eyes brimmed with tears. If Qin Sheng didn’t say yes to her request, she would never let go of Qin Sheng’s arm.
Except for the Old Lady, Lin Yue was the only one in the Lin Family that Qin Sheng could treat politely. He knew Lin Yue got along with Lin Su the best, who also loved her sister the most.
As a result, Qin Sheng patted Lin Yue on her shoulder as he said, “Rest a.s.sured that I won’t lay my hands on your father.”
Only by hearing those words did she feel relieved. As Lin Su pulled Lin Yue behind her, Lin Yue felt sincerely happy for her sister and hugged her while she said, “Sister, you are good at choosing a husband. Brother-in-law is a righteous and courageous man who doesn’t disappoint.”
Lin Su replied evenly, “One day, you will also find a man like him.” Since Qin Sheng had told her that he would act properly, whatever he would do to the Lin Family, Lin Su would not be sympathetic to her family at all.
At that moment, Qin Sheng’s stomach was growling. It occurred to him that he didn’t have lunch before he went there. Since the scene had been made, he had fought with the Lin Family, and he had seen Lin Su, it was time for him to take Lin Su away. However, that was just a beginning.
Consequently, Qin Sheng lifted his head and said to every member of the Lin Family, “Uncle Lin, Second Uncle Lin, do you have other tricks? If not, I will go home first to enjoy my lunch. After that, we can deal with the issues slowly so that you can have more time to figure out ways to deal with me.”
Lin Changting, who became pretty agitated, said, “Qin Sheng, do you intend to just leave here? Is the Lin Family house somewhere you can come and go as you will? I already called the police. After that, let me see whether you will continue acting arrogantly or not.”
As Qin Sheng heard what Lin Changting had said, he found it funny and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He replied, “Oh, did you call the police? Is that all you got? I thought you were far more capable than that. Why were you behaving so proud and arrogant? You are less and less capable as time goes by, which is unfortunate. Sadly, I don’t have time for you. I’m staying at the Marriott Hotel. Feel free to visit me there.”
After that, Qin Sheng turned around and said to Lin Su, “Let’s go back to the hotel first. I’m hungry.”
Lin Su frowned slightly and said, “I haven’t packed yet. Nor have I said goodbye to my Grandmother.” She thought that she would never return once she left with Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng stroked Lin Su’s hair and said amusedly, “Silly wife. We will come back later. It is not too late if you pack your things at that time. Moreover, I have not greeted Grandmother yet. However, it’s not appropriate for me to do that today.”
“OK.” Since Qin Sheng had arranged everything, Lin Su didn’t say anything further.
Qin Sheng didn’t pay attention to the others at all and walked out as he took Lin Su with him. However, there was no way that Lin Changting would allow Qin Sheng to leave like that. He shouted, “Uncle Fu, stop him!”
Lin Ze was sprawled, lifeless on the other side. Once he heard that Uncle Fu had been ordered to attack Qin Sheng’s group, he added, “Uncle Fu, take him down. Don’t let him leave through that door!”
After Uncle Fu received the order from his master, he stood in the way of Qin Sheng and Lin Su directly. He bowed to Lin Su slightly, and smiled bitterly as he said, “Eldest Miss, sorry for the offense.”
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh and wondered why the Lin Family behaved so recklessly. Even in such a situation, they had asked Uncle Fu to suffer in their stead. Even so, Qin Sheng had no other way out. n.o.body could stop him.
Consequently, Chang Baji directly stood in front of Qin Sheng and faced Uncle Fu. He said, “Senior, please be so kind as to enlighten me.”
Uncle Fu and Chang Baji had never fought before. Qin Sheng had met Uncle Fu the first time when he had visited the Lin Family by himself. Unfortunately, due to his injury at that time, he had not been a match for Uncle Fu. He had seen Uncle Fu the second time when he had visited the Mount Putuo to wish Third Master Wu a happy birthday. At that time, Lin Ze had forced Qin Sheng to meet Lin Changhe, which had been turned down by Qin Sheng mercilessly. Consequently, Lin Ze had asked Uncle Fu to attack him. However, at that time, before they had been engaged in the fighting for long, The Third Master Wu’s people had asked them to end the fighting.
That time, Qin Sheng didn’t need to fight with Uncle Fu anymore, since he had got both Nan Gong and Chang Baji.
Ever since Chang Baji had been injured in Huangmei Town last time, he had not fought for a long time. The fighting with Lin Ze a short while back was an easy game for him, which was not interesting at all. Since he had finally met an opponent who he could fight with, it would be a good chance to practice his martial skills.
Since Uncle Fu had stood in the way of Qin Sheng and Lin Su, of course, Chang Baji needed to strike first to gain the initiative. He punched directly at Uncle Fu’s face, which was seemingly casual yet forcible. Uncle Fu stepped backward calmly. Following that, he bowed down and avoided Chang Baji’s attack. However, it did not occur to him that Chang Baji’s blow could turn a corner, arching across the sky perfectly and conveniently. After that, Chang Baji attacked Uncle Fu under his arm with a blade-shaped stabbing. Speaking of this trick, many martial artists might not be able to do it so perfectly.
Uncle Fu slightly changed the look on his face. It did not occur to him that the man would be so amazing. Since he panicked, he had no choice but to use his arms to defend himself. As he collided with Chang Baji, he sensed how forbidding the power of Chang Baji’s blade-shaped stabbing was.
Uncle Fu gritted his teeth tightly. Instead of defending himself all the time, he chose to take the initiative to attack Chang Baji, so he kicked at Chang Baji’s bottom parts directly. Chang Baji bent his leg and suppressed Uncle Fu’s calves with his knees. After that, he added pressure on Uncle Fu. In an instant, he suddenly struck Uncle Fu’s abdomen, making the underestimating Uncle Fu step back several times and bow slightly to adjust his breath.
Within a few seconds, a series of martial arts attacks came to an end. However, everybody on the scene could tell that Uncle Fu’s capability was not as good as Chang Baji’s, which was pretty clear.
Chang Baji, who did not want to be aggressive, persuaded Uncle Fu sincerely, “You are not my opponent. Don’t bring contempt upon yourself and hurt your aged body.” He said so to encourage Uncle Fu to back out.
However, it seemed that Uncle Fu did not intend to call a halt to the fighting. He frowned and said, “Even if I lose my life, I will keep you here.”
Chang Baji smiled disdainfully and said, “You’re overthinking the situation.”
What Uncle Fu had said could not turn the situation upside-down since there was a huge gap between their capabilities. It wasn’t Uncle Fu’s fault to be loyal. However, unfortunately, he had encountered a skillful martial artist like Chang Baji.
Since Uncle Fu had made up his mind, Chang Baji did not say anything else. Anyway, Uncle Fu was ready to bear the consequence on his own. Consequently, he rushed at Uncle Fu once again.
Qin Sheng did not worry about Lao Chang at all. Since he had fought with Uncle Fu twice and knew how capable Uncle Fu was, he knew the final result would be self-evident. However, poor Uncle Fu had to suffer from some hardships.
Qin Sheng did not pay attention to those ch.o.r.es at all, which were negligible to him. He kept walking forward with Lin Su and wondered who else would dare to stand in his way. At the moment, as the six brave bodyguards of the Lin Family saw that Uncle Fu had started fighting, of course, they intended to stop Qin Sheng.
Consequently, it was natural for Nan Gong to show off that time.
Everybody present knew how a fight where six men tangled against one woman might look like. However, on the contrary, reality went the other way. The woman was actually beating the six men. Moreover, everyone had witnessed how horrifying the woman was a moment before. Of course, during that period, Chang Baji had helped Nan Gong out. They had cooperated tacitly and tried to solve the trouble as fast as they could.
By the time Qin Sheng walked to the main entrance to the Lin Family’s core building while holding Lin Su’s hand tightly, the six bodyguards were already sprawled on the ground. Each of them had been injured to different extents, ending up almost the same as Lin Songhao’s bodyguards.
In a blink, Chang Baji had broken two of Uncle Fu’s ribs. Uncle Fu fell backward heavily, directly smashing a vase in the living room of the Lin Family, which had cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The scene was too horrible to look at. It was estimated that Uncle Fu, whom Chang Baji had treated with mercy, would have to lie in bed for several months.
All the family members of the Lin Family who were at the scene had witnessed the whole process, which was quite a messy one. Many of them were so scared that they shook violently and dared not say anything at all, including the two hostesses of the Lin Family, the disappointing Eldest Master-Lin Ze, Song Chu, and Tan Jing, who were both Lin Su’s besties. Song Chu and Tan Jing, who were more confused at the moment, wondered whether Qin Sheng was the old Qin Sheng previously, and why there was a world of difference between the previous Qin Sheng and the current one.
The looks on Lin Changting and Lin Changhe’s faces were ghastly. Originally, they had thought that Uncle Fu, who had led various bodyguards with him, could stop Qin Sheng. Even if he couldn’t, he would be able to buy time for the policemen. However, the result was the other way around.
Uncle Fu, who had been seriously injured, fell on the ground and did not rise again. The numerous bodyguards were simply vulnerable. The whole living room was a mess. Moreover, the things in the living room had been broken into pieces. The Lin Family had paid a cost in double.
Right then, Qin Sheng, who had walked to the entrance, turned around, snorted, and said arrogantly to all the members of the Lin Family, “Well, the Lin Family is just so-so.”
After Qin Sheng finished his words, he did not linger. Instead, he turned around and left directly with Lin Su.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Su, who was a member of the Lin Family, had been observing what had happened with indifference…
