Chapter 1293: The Gray-Haired Bury the Black-Haired
"I still feel something's not right, Ah Hai, have you gotten in touch with him?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lian Yaotang turned, glaring at the young man sitting at the back of the hall.
This young man was named Lin Lianhai, his third son.
Lin Lianhai was different from Lin Liansheng and Lin Lianwei. As the youngest, he was spoiled since childhood, a true second-generation heir.
He knew only how to enjoy himself, indulging in drunken revelry daily, with no ambitions to become the successor, posing no threat to his older brothers.
He was usually too lazy to attend family meetings, but the situation this time was too dire, forcing his presence.
"No."
Lin Lianhai lazily replied, putting down his phone.
He had called his second brother several times, but could not reach him once.
"How could this be? This isn't Lianwei's way; he loves being flashy, longing to achieve something for me to see. He would never disappear without a trace..."
Before finishing his words, suddenly, a figure rushed in urgently from outside, bypassing even the guards at the hall's entrance.
Everyone in the hall looked carefully; it was Lin Lianwei's chauffeur, named Xu Mao, who went to Jiangdong with Lin Lianwei. But at this moment, he returned alone!
"Xu Mao, what has become of you? What happened?"
Lian Yaotang immediately approached, questioning sternly.
"Family Head! Something terrible has happened!!!"
Xu Mao nearly crawled in, collapsing at Lian Yaotang's feet, distraught and panic-stricken.
"What on earth has happened? Speak quickly!!"
Lian Yaotang approached with a stern and severe tone, and other key figures in the hall also stood, encircling Xu Mao with puzzled expressions.
"Family Head! The Second Young Master... he..."
"What has happened to Lianwei, speak quickly!!!"
By this time, Lian Yaotang was nearly losing his mind. Seeing Xu Mao's frightening demeanor upon entering, his ominous premonition grew increasingly intense.
"The Second Young Master... also died in Binhai! And Chang Chunweng..."
"W-what did you say?!"
Despite having had such worries earlier, hearing them confirmed from Xu Mao's mouth still shocked Lian Yaotang profoundly. He stumbled back several steps, vision darkening, almost fainting!
Luckily, someone was behind him to catch him, preventing him from falling.
"Repeat it, Lianwei is...?"
Lian Yaotang was heartbroken. Losing one son was bearable, but now that Lin Lianwei was also gone, he was utterly shattered.
Twice in a single day, sending white-haired parents to bury black-haired children!
"Family Head, it's the absolute truth! Before I came back, the Second Young Master and Chang Chunweng both died at Jiangdong and Baili Family's doorstep. I witnessed it with my own eyes..."
Xu Mao spoke bitterly, recalling the events that transpired, still filled with dread and terror at the memory!
"Xu Mao! Stop rambling, what exactly happened? Say it all at once without any omissions!"
Another elder from the Lin Family couldn't stand it anymore; everyone set aside their complacency, becoming earnest and grave.
Xu Mao dared not conceal anything, recounting the entire process of Lin Lianwei's team going to Jiangdong.
Upon hearing that Chang Chunweng personally confronted Jiang Feng and was no match, everyone in the Lin Family was shocked!
Next, hearing Xu Mao reveal that Lin Lianwei had been honing his skills over these years, developing formidable Ancient Martial abilities, shocked the entire family even more!
However, even the deeply hidden Lin Lianwei met an unfortunate death at Jiang Feng's hands, causing everyone's hearts to tighten with overwhelming grief, suffocating them.
Lian Yaotang could no longer hold on, dizziness taking over, and he leaned back, another group hurriedly supporting him.
"Family Head, take care!"
"We're all waiting for you to lead us. You must hold on!"
Yet Lian Yaotang was already overwhelmed with tears, lamenting sorrowfully: "Lianwei, my son! For these years, I underestimated you. You were secretly the most capable one; I shouldn't have had favorites!!"
"If only I'd known, I wouldn't have sent you to Jiangdong, it was such a mistake..."
Overcome with grief, Lian Yaotang's heart felt pierced by knives, tears flowing again, turning to blood!
"Family Head..."
Lin Family's core members felt increasingly anxious seeing Lian Yaotang's deep sorrow.
If Lian Yaotang collapsed, it would mean the Lin Family was doomed, unable to rely on this great pillar, mere empty shells remaining!
Lian Yaotang paused for a moment, finally taking a deep breath.
He pushed away those beside him, staggeringly stood up, glaring and gritting his teeth, asking: "Where is Jiang Feng? Is he still at the Baili Family?!"
"Yes!"
Xu Mao nodded quickly: "He killed the Second Young Master and Chang Chunweng, then managed to command over a hundred bodyguards! When following those bodyguards out of the villa, I fled in my car when they weren't watching, or I wouldn't be here before you! Except for me, everyone else betrayed the Lin Family..."
"Bastards!!"
Lian Yaotang trembled all over, his face turning ashen!
"A pack of ungrateful mongrels, I'll hunt them down one by one, executing them all!!!"
As he calmed down, Lian Yaotang was filled with regret and despondency!
He hadn't anticipated a minor annulled engagement turning Lin and Baili Family's feud into this magnitude!
The Lin Family's situation now was beyond severe losses, reaching the brink of ruin!
If past events could be changed, he would certainly stop Lin Liansheng and his wife from sending Lin Zekai to Jiangdong.
But now, it was too late, everything spiraling beyond control!
"Family Head, our Lin Family, to be humiliated this way by a local family, losing face and prestige nearly completely!!!"
"We can't let that Baili Family and that little bastard Jiang off the hook; if word spreads, how can we stand in the Capital City?! We'll be crushed by other families!"
"Family Head, we must remedy this situation; the Lin Family must respond with the utmost retaliation!"
"Silence!"
Lian Yaotang clenched his teeth; no one was more furious, more grieved, or clearer about the situation's gravity!
He stared out of the hall, speaking resolutely: "Summon the Pig King and Dongfang Chi back! I will dedicate the Lin Family's resources to avenge Liansheng and Lianwei!!!"
Pig King and Dongfang Chi were the Lin Family's ultimate two Tributor roles.
Their ages were much younger than Chang Chunweng, but their strength far surpassed him!
But like Chang Chunweng, these two were merely Guest Elders for the Lin Family, not always present, only called upon when needed.
Now, Lian Yaotang's order to summon both was a true display of True Thunderous Fury, sacrificing everything to crush Jiang Feng!!!
