Chapter 432 I Won’t Give in Easily

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Everybody on the scene wondered why Qin Sheng had been so bold, daring to act in such a manner, except for Qu Fan. After all, more than two months back, Qin Sheng had been driven to a dead end by his enemies, as if he were a homeless dog, not even having a place to stay. More than two months later, Qin Sheng showed up in front of the family members of the Lin Family as if he were an angel, getting back at the Lin Family unscrupulously.

At that moment, both Nan Gong and Chang Baji were by Qin Sheng’s side. Lin Su’s Senior Mom had finally dared to run to her son’s side; he hugged him and cried as she said, “Lin Changting, your son was beaten by others in your family house. Aren’t you going to defend him and ask for an explanation?”

It was the first time for the brothers Lin Changting and Lin Changhe to encounter an issue like this. They were completely caught off guard by everything that happened all of a sudden.

At that moment, Lin Songhao, whose face was covered in blood because of Nan Gong’s beating, was closely staring at Qin Sheng. The look in his eyes was filled with an intent to kill, which indicated he wanted to cut Qin Sheng into pieces. After that, he asked emphatically, “Young man, do you know who I am?”

It was clear that Lin Songhao had not admitted defeat that easily. He thought that the reason why Qin Sheng had treated him that way was because he was unaware of his identity. If it were the case, Qin Sheng would kneel and beg for his forgiveness once he found out. However, in Lin Songhao’s opinion, he would not let things go. He would unquestionably take Qin Sheng’s life away, even if the Lin Family tried to let him go. Otherwise, he would have no other way to resolve his current sense of grievance.

Qin Sheng found his question somewhat funny, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, knowing well that this Third Master Lin was still in the dark. Consequently, Qin Sheng gently let go of Lin Su and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of the rest. Rest assured that I know how to act properly.”

Lin Su nodded silently. Even though Lin Su didn’t know why Qin Sheng was so confident and bold. She believed that since Qin Sheng had dared to visit the Lin Family house, it was clear that he had been fully prepared in advance.

Qin Sheng squatted down and stared at Lin Songhao smilingly as he said, “How come I don’t know who you are, Third Master Lin?” Qin Sheng thought, “Originally, it was none of your business. However, you insisted on standing up for the Lin Family. In that case, don’t blame me for what I am going to do to you, Third Master Lin.”

Even though Lin Songhao was somewhat surprised, he said with a tough tone, “Since you know who I am, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to leave Ningbo?”

Originally, Qin Sheng had intended to pat Lin Songhao on his bloodied and horrifying face to sober him up. However, in the end, he gave up. After all, touching a person like Third Master Lin would only soil his hands. Consequently, Qin Sheng replied, “Third Master Lin, I wonder how you’ve achieved your current social status. If I didn’t know who you were, how come I dared to beat you to such an extent? Are you threatening me? Do you still consider me as the previous Qin Sheng? As for whether I can leave Ningbo or not, you can try to stop me. However, I’m afraid that you might not be able to bear the consequences.”

Lin Songhao said no more. What Qin Sheng had said crushed his defense line. He regretted acting cocky moments before. At least, he would stop being arrogant from then on if he could not leave that room.

Lin Changting witnessed the whole process while he stood not far from Qin Sheng. He stared at that young man closely, a man whom he had always disliked to an abnormal degree. His face was as white as a sheet. It seemed that he was on the edge of losing his senses, trying to keep himself sober with the remaining calmness.

Lin Changting clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and asked, “Give me an explanation.” It didn’t occur to him that such a young man would break into the Lin Family house all of a sudden and brazen act in front of him. He wondered how contemptuously Qin Sheng had held the Lin Family and him.

Qin Sheng walked forward several steps slowly. It wasn’t until he was a meter away from Lin Changting that he stopped and sneered. He said, “Explanation? Uncle Lin, what kind of explanation do you want?”

All the family members of the Lin Family had been alarmed by the great noise coming from the main building. At that moment, Uncle Fu from the Lin Family made it in the end with six to seven bodyguards. Many of them felt confident after that, including Lin Changting.

Yu Hong exclaimed eagerly, “Uncle Fu. Beat him heavily and kill him.”

Instead of paying attention to the vicious woman, Qin Sheng yelled at Lin Changting directly and said, “I advise you to keep her mouth shut, because I hate her too much. Otherwise, I’ll make her shut up my way. As for these bodyguards of your Lin Family, oh, as well as Uncle Fu, my acquaintance, if you want to launch an attack, feel free to do it. Of course, the reason why I was so bold that I broke into the Lin Family house along with only two helpers is that I am fully confident.”

Uncle Fu and his group of bodyguards were eager to attack. It didn’t occur to Uncle Fu that it would be Qin Sheng again, breaking into the Lin Family house and making a scene. Lin Changting glared at Qin Sheng directly and said, “How come you are entitled to give me an order? Do you know where you are now?”

Qin Sheng let out a long, helplessly sigh, wondering why Lin Changting was more stupid than Lin Songhao, and thought, “No wonder the Lin Family ended up like this today.” He had no choice but to smile bitterly as he said, “Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, I like to deal with smart persons. That’s because it saves me a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, you’re not smart enough. You’re more stupid than Second Uncle Lin. The reason why the Lin Family is in the current situation is nobody else’s fault but yours. You are simply too incapable.”

What Qin Sheng said was a naked insult to his future father-in-law. Without those issues happening previously, Qin Sheng would have sat down with them and drunk happily after meeting again. Qin Sheng would have tried his best to help them with the current issues of the Lin Family since it was his family who had been the troublemaker.

Unfortunately, Lin Changting’s insight was too poor. Never would he think of the possibility that the young man, who had been useless in front of Yan Chaozong at that time, would come from a family, whose power prevailed over that of Yan Chaozong. As the saying goes, God is good at making fun of people.

Lin Changting, who couldn’t put up with what Qin Sheng was saying any more, trembled and cursed at Qin Sheng in rage as he said, “Qin Sheng, what on f**king earth do you plan to do?”

At the time, Lin Changting didn’t act like a landlord of the Lin Family at all.

On the contrary, Lin Changhe, who had been by Lin Changting’s side, did not say anything at all. Instead, he sheltered his wife behind him and reminded her at the same time that she should not butt in. Lin Changhe was smart. Since he had communicated with Qin Sheng more and knew this young man better, he knew at least that the young man had valid reasons to act improperly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have broken into the Lin Family house with only two helpers. That was because if Qin Sheng had done so, he would only get himself killed in the end.

The more agitated Lin Changting was, the calmer Qin Sheng was. He replied with great concern, “What do I want to do? Nothing at all. I am here just to reason with your family.”

What Qin Sheng said made everybody on the scene feel dubious. They could not help despising Qin Sheng in secret. “Are you here to reason? You’re here to humiliate the Lin Family.” However, originally, Qin Sheng had intended to solve the issue rationally. It was the Lin Family who had taken the initiative to launch an attack.

Following that, Qin Sheng said, “Uncle Lin, if you’re not willing to reason with me, I won’t give a damn about anything. However you plan to threaten me, I will fight to the end. If I step back today, even just for one step, I will admit my defeat.”

What Qin Sheng said sounded pretty forbidding. It seemed that however ferocious the attack of the Lin Family was, Qin Sheng would be determined to deal with them calmly.

Lin Changting asked gloomily, “Is it true that you’re not afraid at all?”

Qin Sheng replied disapprovingly, “Afraid? The previous me might have been afraid of you. After all, the Lin Family is a grand one with more than one hundred years’ history in Ningbo. If I were an ordinary person, I would have to fear you. Even though you are on a decline now, as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. However, the current Qin Sheng standing here today is indeed not afraid of you at all. To speak bluntly, I won’t even take the two Lin Families to my heart.”

Qin Sheng, who had kept a low profile and patient for many years, could finally act like an arrogant rich playboy. This time, he would give a hard slap to the family members of the Lin Family.

Lin Changting didn’t care whether what Qin Sheng said was true or not. However, since Qin Sheng had acted unscrupulously in his house, if he didn’t teach him a lesson, the Lin Family would not even get a toe-hold in Ningbo from then on.

Lin Changting gave out an order directly and said, “Uncle Fu, take him down!” He didn’t care about why Qin Sheng had been so confident. All he wanted was to discourage Qin Sheng from acting so proudly in front of him.

Qin Sheng squinted and said, “I can’t reason with you then. You are still the old Lin Changting. However, I am no longer the old Qin Sheng. Let’s see who is more unreasonable today.”

Nan Gong and Chang Baji swiftly stood by Qin Sheng and Lin Su, intending to protect them. Qin Sheng intended to make a bigger scene. If he didn’t turn the whole Lin Family upside down that day, the anger in his mind would never be completely pacified. After he was done with the Lin Family, Yan Chaozong, the Yan Family, the Ye Family, the Qu Family, and the Third Master Wu would be next. He wouldn’t let any of them go.

As Uncle Fu and numerous bodyguards heard Lin Changting’s order, they were eager to attack Qin Sheng’s group instantly. The atmosphere became intense again in an instant. At this key moment, Lin Changhe finally spoke, “Hold on.”

He walked slowly and whispered to Lin Changting in a low voice, “Brother, the situation is not that easy. It’s better if we act discreetly. Let me talk with him.”

Lin Changhe, who didn’t give Lin Changting any chances to talk back, directly pulled him to his back and winked at his wife at the same time, asking her to take care of his senior brother.

It was not until Lin Changhe calmed Lin Changting down that he walked to approach Qin Sheng. He said, “Qin Sheng, we haven’t seen each other for more than two months, right? Anyway, we are friends and I know you hate my family. However, based on what you did today, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to clear up the mess successfully?”

Qin Sheng replied disdainfully, “Second Uncle Lin, are you threatening me?”

Lin Changhe shook his head and said, “I am not threatening you at all. Based on the fact that you were bold enough to break into our house with only two helpers, nobody would believe you if you said you weren’t confident at all. I know that you wouldn’t act impulsively.”

Qin Sheng said smilingly, “Second Uncle Lin, you are indeed smarter.” He had a good impression of this man, who, at least, could sit down and have a good conversation with him. Although Lin Changhe had given him up at the last moment in Hangzhou, Qin Sheng had not hated him for that at all. After all, what Lin Changhe had stood for at that time was not himself but the whole Lin Family.

Lin Changhe let out a long helpless sigh as he said, “Then we should have a good talk. What on earth were you planning to do by visiting my family this time?”

“To take Lin Su away,” Qin Sheng said frankly, “I am also here to conveniently talk with you about the issues that happened before. I will pay back how your family treated Lin Su and me previously, with interest.”

Lin Changhe smiled bitterly and said, “Regarding what happened before, my family does owe you. Even if my family members were asked to make a choice over and over again, we would still do the same. Consequently, I apologize to you on behalf of the Lin Family. By the way, since Lin Su was engaged, we might not let you take her away in this way. However, if you want some compensation, we can negotiate. Moreover, we can pretend that nothing happened today. What do you think?”

Originally, Qin Sheng had thought that Lin Changhe could be counted as a somewhat smart person, someone whom he could talk and reason with rationally. However, after he heard what Lin Changhe had said, he finally understood that the Lin Family had not yet realized how serious the current situation was.

Qin Sheng burst into laughter, clasped his hands, and said, “All right, all right, all right. The Lin Family is indeed a family with hundreds of years’ worth of history. I just realized it today.”

Lin Changhe said bitterly, “Qin Sheng, don’t blame me for saying so. The Lin Family cannot afford to be disgraced.” He said so to advise Qin Sheng that he should call a halt to the big scene. If Qin Sheng heeded his advice, the whole situation would not be too far gone.

However, in Qin Sheng’s eyes, the dignity of the Lin Family was worthless. What the Lin Family had done was challenging his bottom line. In that case, he would let the Lin Family pay a sufficient price for what they had done…
