He may have been just a servant of the Tian family, but in Jinling City, his influence was no less than that of any family head, even capable of driving them to ruin and death. What a gratifying thing that was!
"My descendants are unfilial, dragging the Lin family's foundation into loss!" Lin Jianyang cried out, fiercely lunging his head toward a stone pillar, only to be stopped by Ye Ling's grasp.
"Ling'er, don't stop me. Now that the Lin family estate is destroyed, I have no face to live in this world anymore."
Lin Jianyang struggled to get up, insisting on throwing himself against the pillar to commit suicide, but Ye Ling shook his head, softly consoling, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I won't let the Lin family estate be destroyed."
"Oh, what big talk. If you're so capable, then why don't you just pay back Lin Jianyang's debt?" The middle-aged man spat, looking at Ye Ling with a disdainful sneer.
"Alright, I will pay back the money the Lin family owes," Ye Ling replied indifferently, pulling out a bank card from his pocket.
"Ha, what nonsense are you spouting? Lin Jianyang owes two hundred million, you think it's as simple as twenty million?" The middle-aged man smirked, too lazy even to continue the conversation.
Two hundred million in cash was not something many in Jinling City could produce, let alone Ye Ling, the penniless. He casually took out a card, thinking he could deceive me?
The crowd onlookers all showed signs of doubt, while Ye Ling remained calm, casually entering the card number on his phone, letting the electronic voice broadcast the card balance.
"Respected Supreme Card customer, the balance in your account is fifty-six billion, nine hundred and thirty million..."
With a sizzle, everyone's ears buzzed, they tugged at their ears forcefully, looking incredulous.
"Impossible, a balance of over fifty billion, who do you think you are, the richest man in the Dragon Country?" The middle-aged man's voice trembled, his tongue almost numb.
Although he didn't know exactly how much money the richest man in Dragon Country had, just by looking at the balance of over fifty billion on this card, he estimated it couldn't be much different.
"Hmph, if you don't believe it, then hurry up and find someone to swipe the card," Ye Ling said with a disdainful gaze, having them bring over a card reader and placing the black card on it.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, mumbling incessantly, "There can't be that much money; this kid must be faking it!"
"You'd better behave. This order comes from the Six Doors headquarters in Longcheng. Not to mention your little Tian family, even the Governor of Jiangnan Province has no authority to interfere!"
With a clang, all the Tian family members were handcuffed and shackled, squatting on the ground in a line, dragged away like dead dogs.
What awaited them was the hardship of prison and the punishment of the law.
"Good, those beasts from the Tian family are finally gone!" The Lin family members revealed looks of joy, tidying up the courtyard and setting up a table in the center to invite Ye Ling to join them in a celebratory banquet.
The table was laden with delicacies from land and sea, Australian lobsters, New Zealand beef, French foie gras, and Norwegian salmon.
In everyone's glasses, there was a generous pour of Romani Conti imported red wine.
The mood was exuberant as everyone drank cup after cup.
Yet Lin Jianyang's brow was furrowed, as if preoccupied with something; he merely went through the motions of picking food but didn't manage to eat a bite.
"Uncle Lin, are you still worried about that scumbag Tian Hu?" Ye Ling asked indifferently, holding his glass.
Lin Jianyang sighed and glanced worriedly at his daughter Lin Xue before shaking his head. "Ah, although Tian Hu is despicable, his strength is terrifying. Even in my prime, I couldn't withstand fifty moves from him. Now his power has grown further, and with my internal injuries causing me to regress, I'm even less of a match for him!"
Following Lin Jianyang's sigh, the faces of the Lin family members changed, and, setting down their wine glasses, they said hesitantly, "Family Head, we can't afford to provoke Tian Hu. Shouldn't we just marry Xue'er off to him?"
"Nonsense! I would rather die than marry Xue'er off to him!" Lin Jianyang exclaimed angrily, crushing the wine glass in his hand.
Ye Ling nodded and said coolly, "Uncle Lin, rest assured. If that Tian Hu dares to come, I'll make sure he never returns, and break his legs to make him apologize to you!"
"Alright, Ye Ling, stop boasting. Tian Hu is a master with great mastery of the hidden energy, ranked among the top five in Jinling. You think you can handle him? He could probably crush you with a finger!" the Lin family members mocked, full of disbelief.
Lin Jianyang also shook his head and smiled. "Uncle Lin, I appreciate your sentiment, but if Tian Hu comes, don't you dare fight him, or I will have failed your father beneath the nine springs!"
