son, don't mess around

The little girl An Ning suddenly got angry for no apparent reason, which made Lin Jiangnian a little puzzled for a moment!
Isn’t this little girl usually very good-natured?

Although she is a little timid and looks cold, she is actually still a little girl who has not grown up.

Besides, Lin Jiangnian hadn't bullied her during this period, so why was he angry for no reason?
However, before Lin Jiangnian had time to figure out what happened to the girl, Lin Qingqing sent back information.

The spy arranged by Prince Lin's Mansion in the Chen family quickly brought back news... The Chen family has taken action!
……

The Chen family finally couldn't sit still anymore!

These days, the Linwang Palace has been searching for the whereabouts of the remnants of the Heavenly God Sect inside and outside Linjiang City. The remnants of the Heavenly God Sect who were hunted down and killed by the Linwang Palace have almost no way to survive, and the strongholds where they were hiding have been almost uprooted by the Linwang Palace.

The members of the Tianshen Cult couldn't understand why they hid so well and were almost never exposed. But, they were still accurately arrested by the people of Lin Wangfu? !
For a time, the people in the Tianshen Cult were in a panic, wondering if there was a traitor? !
Otherwise, how could the Lin Wang Mansion know their hiding place so clearly? To the point that when the Lin Wang Mansion started to arrest them, they didn't even have the chance to notice or react?
At the same time, the remnants of the Tianshen Cult who were forced into a desperate situation by the Lin Wang Mansion, with no way to escape, many people chose to die together. Some even wanted to drag ordinary people down with them. The incident caused a lot of uproar and seriously affected the lives of ordinary people!
Linjiang City has hardly had a single day of peace in the past few months.

Since Prince Lin was attacked, Linjiang City has never been peaceful. Chaotic incidents have occurred one after another, affecting the lives of the people and causing harm to many innocent people.

At this point, the people have begun to complain!

How can we live like this with all this going on all day long?
As a result, the Chen family was soon put on the fire again!

After all, the series of events that have happened recently are all related to the Chen family, so naturally the people directed their criticism and anger towards the Chen family.

It’s all your Chen family’s fault!
Under the anger of the people, the Chen family became the target of public criticism, and their prestige plummeted. The fuse of the incident was that many of the Chen family's properties in Linjiang City were smashed and destroyed overnight.

If this situation continues, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Chen family.

Finally, they couldn't sit still anymore!
……

Night falls.

At the Chen Mansion, a carriage quietly left from the back door, and under the cover of night, it passed through the dark alleys and slowly headed towards the west of the city.

About half an hour later, the carriage quietly arrived at a busy area in the west of the city.

This area is the most prosperous downtown in the west of the city. It is geographically remote, but it is also a gathering place for all kinds of people because it gathers many merchants and people from all over the country.

As the sky darkens, this place becomes bustling and lively.

The carriage shuttled through the downtown area, passing through several alleys without anyone noticing, and finally arrived at a residential area. At a glance, there was an almost endless winding bungalow, where a large number of lower-class people lived. If you were not careful, you would most likely get lost.

The carriage followed the winding alley, passed through the complex roads, and appeared in front of a small house. The carriage slowly entered through the front door.

"boom!"

The front door was closed.

Just behind this carriage, under the cover of night, several nimble figures hid in the darkness and appeared silently outside the house from all directions.

Under the night sky, the leader was dressed in black and had bright and sharp eyes.

It was Lin Qingqing.

She stared sharply at the closed door not far away, without saying a word.

"It should be right here."

Lin Qingqing stared at the courtyard in front with cold eyes, raised her head to glance at the night sky, and then gave an order in a cold tone.

"action!"

Following her order, the guards who had been hiding in the darkness outside the courtyard appeared at the same time and rushed towards the courtyard from all directions.

Lin Qingqing took the lead and jumped over the courtyard wall.

As soon as he landed, he saw several guards guarding the door. Before they could react, the guards were knocked down by the black shadow that arrived later.

Clean and neat!
"Search!"

Lin Qingqing's voice was cold. She suddenly raised her foot and kicked open the door to the middle courtyard.

In an instant, the courtyard was in chaos.

"You, who are you?!"

There were several panicked voices in the yard.

But soon, the shadowy guards gathered from all directions and took control of the courtyard at the fastest speed.

"Commander Lin, they were all captured, not a single one escaped!"

A guard came up to Lin Qingqing and reported.

"However, Chen Junru's whereabouts were not found."

Lin Qingqing's eyes condensed, and her cold gaze fell on the controlled figures in the yard. Among them, there were several familiar faces, who were from the Chen family.

There was one middle-aged man in particular...Lin Qingqing recognized him at a glance; he was the housekeeper of the Chen residence.

The close confidant of Chen Hongsheng.

"Where is Chen Junru?!"

Lin Qingqing stared at him and asked coldly.

The controlled housekeeper Chen looked a little panicked and scared, but he did not lose his composure. He looked around and said, "Commander Lin, how do I know where the young master is?"

"Wasn't my young master kidnapped by the Heavenly God Cult? You, the Lin Wang Mansion, have been catching the remnants of the Heavenly God Cult during this period of time...Where is the young master now? Shouldn't Commander Lin know better than me?"

Lin Qingqing's eyes narrowed slightly. As expected, there was no trace of panic in the eyes of the butler in front of her.

"Commander Lin!"

Another guard came up from behind, came behind Lin Qingqing, and whispered: "I have checked clearly. There is no one else in this courtyard, and there is no secret room or secret passage. Chen Junru is not here. I am afraid we have been fooled!"

A sharp coldness flashed across Lin Qingqing's eyes, and she suddenly looked at Butler Chen.

But Housekeeper Chen's expression gradually returned to normal, and he looked at Lin Qingqing calmly: "The palace has been investigating for so long, is there any news about my young master now?"

"Although my young master has committed a heinous crime, he has now been abducted by the Celestial God Cult. His Highness the Crown Prince promised my master that he would give him an explanation."

"I don't know, how is it now?"

The tone even sounded a bit fearless!
Lin Qingqing said expressionlessly: "Since my prince has promised your master, he will naturally give him an explanation."

"That's good."

Steward Chen smiled, glanced around, and asked, "Then, why did Commander Lin make such a big fuss tonight and arrest us?"

"Did we break some law?"

Lin Qingqing stared at him: "Butler Chen, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Butler Chen replied calmly, "My master is not in good health. I happened to hear that there is a doctor here who is very skilled in medicine, so I came to ask him to go back and see my master."

As he spoke, Butler Chen looked at the other figure who was being controlled.

The man's face was filled with fear, and he trembled all over as he said, "I, I am the doctor here. Yes, it was indeed Master Chen who came to ask me for help..."

He was obviously terrified!

I didn't expect that something like this would happen so late at night.

It was clearly Mr. Chen who invited him over, but who would have thought that he would run into someone from Prince Lin's Mansion who came to his door? He was almost scared to death.

Who wouldn't be afraid of the reputation of the Prince Lin's Mansion?
Lin Qingqing glanced at him coldly and knew that she had been fooled!

"Does Steward Chen really think that this trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain will work?"

Lin Qingqing sneered.

Facing Lin Qingqing's revelation, Butler Chen remained calm: "I don't understand what Commander Lin is saying. If Commander Lin is fine, can we leave?"

"Of course not!"

Lin Qingqing glanced at everyone in the courtyard with cold eyes, and suddenly waved her hand and said coldly: "Take them all back!" Hearing this, Chen Guanjia's face changed slightly: "Why did Commander Lin arrest us? We haven't broken the law, how can Commander Lin arrest people in plain clothes?"

"You can't be arrested if you haven't broken the law?"

Lin Qingqing glanced at him and sneered.

Perhaps because she had been with His Highness for too long, Lin Qingqing's tone of voice gradually became closer to that of her own Highness.

Butler Chen's eyes widened slightly, as if he didn't expect that Commander Lin in front of him would say such unreasonable words?
Can’t you be arrested if you haven’t broken the law?

No, why would you arrest me if I didn't break the law?!
Do you still have any shame in the Linwang Mansion?
Believe it or not, I will go to the capital to sue you? !

Butler Chen opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but the guard next to him came up and covered his mouth, and then he heard Lin Qingqing's cold voice.

"We in the Linwang Palace can arrest whoever we want and kill whoever we want!"

Lin Qingqing's tone was a little excited. It really feels good to be unreasonable!

Your Highness is right indeed!

Why should we be reasonable?
They have a big fist in the palace, so what if they arrest a housekeeper like you? !
Butler Chen's eyes widened, as if he had not expected the situation to turn out like this!

There was finally a hint of fear in his eyes.

This was a situation he had not expected at all, and it made him lose his composure for a moment. Before he could struggle any further, he was already considered to be trapped.

After doing all this, Lin Qingqing clapped her hands, looked up at the night sky in another direction, then her expression returned to normal and she spoke in a cold voice.

"Go, go back!"

"..."

Lin Qingqing did not fall for the Chen family's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. When she led people to track, hunt down and capture housekeeper Chen, she did not relax her surveillance of the Chen family.

But the Chen family's plan was not completely ineffective. It delayed the Lin Wang Mansion and wasted a lot of manpower. Since dark, people from the Chen family have been leaving the house. In addition to this housekeeper Chen, many servants and guards in the Chen Mansion have been leaving the house in carriages.

All the servants who left the Chen Mansion were under the surveillance of the Lin Wang Mansion without exception. But when the people from the Lin Wang Mansion followed them all the way, they found nothing.

This was obviously done intentionally by the Chen family, a trick they used to deceive the eyes!
The Chen family is trying to probe the Lin Wang Mansion's background, and the Lin Wang Mansion is also chasing closely, taking strict precautions against the two forces fighting wits and courage against each other and competing secretly.

……

It's quiet at night.

Outside Linjiang City.

In a desolate town, a carriage slowly stopped outside a house. The carriage opened and a middle-aged man slowly stepped down from it.

It’s Chen Hongsheng!
Chen Hongsheng looked up at the house in front of him with a deep gaze and an expressionless face.

Behind him, there were several dark shadowy guards following him.

The atmosphere around the house was cold and chilly.

It is summer, but the night seems a little deserted.

"Oh, that Prince Lin probably never expected that he would keep an eye on our Chen Mansion, waiting for you to reveal your true identity. But he didn't expect that you were more skilled and had already escaped from the mansion..."

"Even if they stay in prison for their whole lives, they will never be able to reach you, uncle!"

Next to Chen Hongsheng, a young man had a mocking look on his face and sneered.

The young man's name is Chen Xu. His father is Chen Hongsheng's younger brother, so he is Chen Hongsheng's nephew.

Compared to Chen Junru, Chen Xu used to be much more low-key in the Chen family. After all, compared to Chen Junru, he was just a collateral descendant, and his status and position were naturally not as high as Chen Junru's.

But since Chen Junru got into trouble, Chen Xu has been much more active in the Chen family.

The purpose is self-evident.

Chen Junru is Chen Hongsheng's only son. If something happens to him, Chen Hongsheng's lineage will be extinct. So as Chen Hongsheng's nephew, he naturally has a chance!
Look, come here quickly to show your filial piety!

"The Prince of Lin is still young, and cannot compare to you, uncle."

Listening to his nephew's praise, there was no smile on Chen Hongsheng's face.

He looked at the house in front of him expressionlessly. Someone had already come forward to greet him at the door.

"master!"

Chen Hongsheng had a blank expression on his face as he entered the mansion respectfully welcomed by the servants.

"Junru, what's wrong?"

Chen Hongsheng asked.

The servant in the mansion said, "The young master has been recuperating here since he was rescued. He is fine and his life is safe, but..."

When Chen Xu, who was following behind Chen Hongsheng, heard this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

But it quickly disappeared.

"But what?"

Chen Hongsheng keenly heard the hesitation in the servant's tone, and then looked at the servant's slightly ugly expression.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

……

"father!!!"

Inner courtyard, inside the room.

The door was pushed open, and Chen Hongsheng walked quickly into the room with a gloomy face.

There was a figure lying on the bed. It was Chen Junru who had not been seen for several days.

When I saw the figure pushing the door and walking in, all the resentment that had been accumulating over the past few days suddenly burst out.

"Dad, you're finally here!"

Chen Junru's tone was tearful, and he was excited and thrilled.

Struggling to stand up.

Chen Hongsheng walked quickly forward, held his body, and looked down at Chen Junru lying on the bed.

Chen Junru is no longer as cool as before. His face is pale and bloodless. He looks like he has lost more than ten pounds and is skinny.

The appearance is really miserable!
And more importantly...

Chen Hongsheng looked down at Chen Junru: "Junru..."

Chen Hongsheng's tone was low, but he couldn't hide his anger and grief: "You, you..."

"Something happened to your body?"

Chen Hongsheng's words instantly reminded Chen Junru of the unbearable and tragic memories of the past.

His face turned pale instantly, then his eyes became sad, his voice became hoarse, and a little hysterical.

"Dad... Dad, I was ruined by Lin Jiangnian!"

"He, he is so cruel..."

"I, I can't be a man anymore!!"

"Dad, Dad, you want me to take revenge!!!"
