Chapter 586: My Grandson Admits His Mistake (Second Update)
Actually, when Young Master Wang had arrived, Wang Tianlin had already noticed the arrival of his grandson, and he knew that his grandson coming so early must mean something serious had happened. Otherwise, given his grandson’s habits, he generally wouldn’t visit the old man like this, especially not early in the morning. If Wang Tianlin estimated correctly, his grandson must have caused some big trouble, which was why he intentionally wanted to make Young Master Wang wait on the side until he had finished practicing his Taichi Fist.
"Coming to see Grandfather this early, did you cause some trouble?" Wang Tianlin poured a cup of tea for both himself and his grandson, took a sip of the hot tea, and then asked Young Master Wang.
"Grandfather, I’ve caused a big problem, I’ve offended someone I shouldn’t have." When Young Master Wang heard his grandfather ask this, he did not hesitate and directly spoke out about what happened. Although he had thought a lot beforehand, when it actually came to facing his grandfather, Young Master Wang still decided it was best to tell the truth. Otherwise, nothing could be kept from his grandfather with his keen insight. Lying might cause him to fall into a disadvantage and bring about even more displeasure from his grandfather. It was better to confess frankly. That way, even if his grandfather blamed him, he would not be too harsh.
"Tell me, what happened." Wang Tianlin sat by the stone table, continuing to pour tea into his cup while casually asking Young Master Wang. His tone did not betray any emotion, calm and tranquil as an ancient well, betraying no ripples. In fact, having lived to his age and rising to his position, he had long since become indifferent to all matters, and truly, there was little that could disturb his composure.
"The event dates back to the third day after the Lunar New Year, it went like this..."
Young Master Wang recounted the events that had happened after the New Year, hiding nothing and adding no embellishments. He was very sincere, detailing everything about Lin Feng, including the death of Meng Tian the previous night, and his speculations and thoughts, laying it all bare. In front of his grandfather, Young Master Wang had no other choice. If he wanted help from his grandfather, he had to be truthful to receive his forgiveness and for his grandfather to intervene.
"So that’s it. Sigh... you, well!" Wang Tianlin let out a deep sigh after his grandson finished recounting the process. He knew his grandson had not lied; the situation was undoubtedly as Young Master Wang had described. In such circumstances, his grandson indeed had no other choice but to seek his assistance. According to what his grandson had said, only his intervention could solve this matter now.
In his position, he was very clear about all matters, including those concerning cultivators. His Personal Guard was an AAA-level expert, fully aware that these superb cultivators were beyond conventional measurements. This was no longer a situation that could be resolved through ordinary means, and the matter had to be suppressed by other methods. Otherwise, it was an intractable predicament with no cure.
In the past couple of days, he had heard that Leng Hui had acquired a quite impressive son-in-law, but he had never imagined that this Lin Feng would be such a formidable master. According to what his grandson had said, Lin Feng, being just in his early twenties, was capable of defeating an AAA-level expert like Li Zerui, and even Uncle Li, an S-level master, might have died at the hands of Lin Feng. He couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of astonishment towards Lin Feng. To have reached such a fearsome level of mastery at such a young age was beyond describing as an extraordinary talent.
Even Wang Tianlin now felt extreme envy towards Leng Hui for finding someone like Lin Feng to become his grandson-in-law, a super master with diverse capabilities, which was practically unique in the country, and perhaps even in the whole world. The reason was simple: Lin Feng was extremely young and had greater prospects for the future, which truly was beyond imagination about what Lin Feng might become...
Wang Tianlin also knew that if Lin Feng were truly intent on tracing the problem back to his grandson, his grandson would have no way to escape. Against a person who could handle an S-level expert, Lin Feng had already transcended the levels of understanding of ordinary people. Before Lin Feng’s unfathomable absolute strength, nothing could threaten him. All schemes would crumble like paper tigers. Even if there were thoughts of arranging someone to deal with Lin Feng, no suitable candidate could be found; only the might of the nation-state machinery might stand a chance against Lin Feng.
But that was an absolute last resort. Setting aside the unimaginable consequences that would ensue if Lin Feng were truly angered, if there were any intent to kill Lin Feng without absolute certainty of a fatal blow, the resulting disaster would be unbearable. It could lead to more than just rivers of blood. Therefore, the only method now was to swallow his pride and negotiate peace with Leng Hui, hoping Leng Hui would intervene and restrain Lin Feng...
What excellent foresight Leng Hui had! Wang Tianlin sighed heavily within his heart. How had he not come across such an opportunity, and his disappointing grandson had even gotten involved with Lin Feng. If it weren’t for his own continued existence, his grandson might have been doomed this time. Ah, why could he not have found someone like Lin Feng to take under his wing!
"Grandson, what do you plan to do next?" Wang Tianlin looked at his grandson in front of him and asked casually. Although he could step in, his grandson probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the country any longer. A life spared was one thing, but the price paid was sure to be colossal. Under such circumstances, it would be most prudent for his grandson to leave Capital City, this land of trouble. It was essential to give Lin Feng ample face to ensure he wouldn’t harm his grandson.
"Grandfather, I’ve made up my mind. I think I should no longer stay in the country. I’ll go abroad to find my fourth brother," Young Master Wang certainly understood his grandfather’s meaning, and that’s what he was thinking as well. Given the current situation, even if he stayed in the country, he felt no sense of security. It would be better to leave and hide out for a while. When the Boss took care of Lin Feng, he could return home. Now, in Young Master Wang’s heart, there was only one hope, that the Boss would make his move soon and deal with Lin Feng, so that he could properly
"Alright, that is indeed a solution. It’s definitely not suitable for you to be in the country anymore," Wang Tianlin said, feeling relieved upon hearing his grandson’s words. He nodded, glad that his grandson could think so. The situation has progressed to this point today, and it was a good thing that his grandson could let go.
"Grandfather, I’ve booked a flight for tomorrow morning. After I leave, you must take care of your health. I will come back to see you in the future." Having finished discussing everything, Young Master Wang prepared to leave. He had booked the flight the previous night, intending to leave the country straight after talking with his grandfather. He uttered a few words of personal concern before slowly standing up.
"Okay then, you can go now. Say goodbye to your parents," Wang Tianlin waved his hand, signalling his grandson to leave. He also had to think about how to talk with Leng Hui and handle the situation moving forward.
"Goodbye, Grandfather." After saying this, Young Master Wang turned and left without any hesitation. Under the current circumstances, he had no luxury to hesitate. Everything had been arranged, and it was time for him to leave. Although he felt a lot of reluctance, the situation had reached a point where he couldn’t cling to his life here anymore. Life was more important than anything; living was better than anything else.
Watching his grandson’s lonely departure, Wang Tianlin turned back, sipping his tea slowly, but his face had turned to a frown. His relationship with Leng Hui was not very good, and to handle his grandson’s situation, he really had to think hard...
After nearly an hour, he finally had someone bring the phone, and he dialed Leng Hui’s number.
"Hello, Old Leng, this is Wang Tianlin. How’s your recovery going recently?" Wang Tianlin took the initiative to make amends over the phone, since the current issue involved his grandson, and he wanted to handle it well. He couldn’t maintain his usual aloof demeanor, otherwise, if Leng Hui didn’t play along, his grandson’s problem would remain a significant issue.
"Oh, Old Wang, it’s you. My recovery is going pretty well. We haven’t been in contact for a long time. What made you think of calling me suddenly?" Leng Hui was surprised to receive a call from Wang Tianlin. Their relationship wasn’t very good, so why did Wang Tianlin suddenly decide to call him this early? What... what on earth had happened to make Wang Tianlin lower his head?
"Old Leng, you’ve really found yourself an excellent grandson-in-law. I have no idea where you found such a good match," Wang Tianlin continued, his voice over the phone sounding very amiable and friendly.
"Old Wang, if you have something to say, just say it." Leng Hui was really puzzled by Wang Tianlin’s sudden praise. He wondered what it meant mentioning Lin Feng. Listening to Wang Tianlin, it seemed he was complimenting Lin Feng for being outstanding. This... what did it mean? Why was Wang Tianlin suddenly praising Lin Feng? This was utterly abnormal, and Leng Hui was baffled, failing to understand why Wang Tianlin had suddenly called him, as his mind was filled with suspicion.
"Old Leng, do me a favor and give Lin Feng a message. My grandson knows he’s in the wrong. He’s leaving the country this morning. Let’s leave the past behind us, shall we?" Wang Tianlin didn’t continue with the small talk. It was always necessary to say what needed to be said. Rather than beat around the bush, it was better to be straightforward, and certainly, Leng Hui would understand his meaning.
"Old Wang, I can deliver the message, but..." Leng Hui instantly understood what Wang Tianlin meant upon hearing his words. Wang Tianlin was extending an olive branch, wanting Lin Feng to spare his grandson. Realizing this, Leng Hui was astounded!
