Chapter 1001: A Pawn

d.>"Boss!"Just then, Li Bingyan and Liu Fatty ran up and walked into the room.At the sight of what was happening in the room, both their faces changed.And Li Bingyan and Liu Fatty were even more surpr...At this moment, the Lin family's main hall was filled with a large crowd of people.

The core members of the family, nearly all of them, were present.

They stood on either side of the hall, their eyes blazing with fury at the one who stood in the center.

This middle-aged man, with scars on his face, was hunched over, his body trembling.

The person standing before him was Lin Zhenxi, and also Lin Zhenxu.

Lin Zhenxi looked at the man in front of him, his face ashen, eyes bloodshot, filled with anger but also regret.

He never would have imagined that the person who betrayed the Lin family would be his cousin, Lin Rong, who had always been close to him since childhood.

Lin Rong is a member of the Lin family's main line, and while his position in the family isn't very high, it's not low either.

He is married with children and lives a happy life.

But he did something that all the Lin family members couldn't accept or forgive!

Poisoned Lin Zhi'lan and leaked Lin Zhengxiong's travel information to the Guan family, thus cooperating in the assassination of Lin Zhengxiong!

These actions have seriously violated the house rules!

The Lin family members on both sides of the hall glared at Lin Rong with furious eyes.

And at the back, a woman and a young man just of age were both pale as death and trembling all over.

They are Lin Rong's wife and son.

"Lin Rong, the Lin family has been kind to you, and the head of the family has been kind to you! Why would you do this!" Lin Zhenxi stood before Lin Rong, his anger burning as he questioned him.

Lin Rong hung her head, saying nothing.

Lin Zhenxu stood aside, looking at Lin Rong with cold eyes.

In previous interrogations, he only managed to ascertain the name Guan Hong.

He could be sure that Lin Rong knew far more than this!

"Lin Rong, if you're willing to tell us everything you know, maybe we can reduce your punishment." Lin Zhenxu spoke.

Lin Rong still kept his head bowed, unwilling to speak.

"If you continue to stay silent, then we will have to deal with you according to the most severe family rules." Lin Zhenxu said coldly.

Lin Rong still remained silent.

Lin Zhenxu frowned slightly and looked at Lin Rong's wife and children standing behind him.

"Lin Rong, by remaining silent now, you're only harming your wife and children." Lin Zhenxu said in a cold voice, "You should be very clear about the family rules."

According to family rules, Lin Rong should have his cultivation base completely revoked due to the severity of his mistakes. He, along with his wife and children, would be expelled from the family and stripped of all his possessions.

Lin Zhenxu said this because he was putting pressure on her through Lin Rong's wife and children.

If Ryoji Mori ignores his wife and children, then it means this person's heart has turned completely black. Directly use severe torture to extract a confession; there is no need to show any mercy.

As expected, when Lin Zhen mentioned his wife and children, Lin Rong's expression changed.

He looked up at Lin Zhenxu and said, "If I say it, you have to keep my wife and children in the Lin family!"

"You're trying to make demands of me!" Lin Zhenxu glared at Lin Rong, shouting.

This jolt sent a shiver through Lin Rong's body, and his face paled drastically.

His wife and children were also terrified, their faces pale.

Lin Zhenxu was the first prodigy of the Lin family. Ordinarily, his status within the family was already extremely high.

Now Lin Zhengxiong is seriously injured, and Lin Zhenxu has implicitly become the head of the Lin family.

His words still carry weight.

Lin Rong's face flickered, but his eyes hardened as he said, "If you don't promise to leave my wife and children unharmed, I won't say a word, even if I die!"

At the sound of this, the faces of the Lin family members around him turned grim.

At this point, Lin Rong even dared to blackmail the Lin family!

Arrogant to the extreme!

"Lin Rong, you!" Lin Zhenxi pointed at Lin Rong's nose, his finger trembling with anger.

"Fifth Uncle, please calm down," Lin Zhenxu said coldly. "I will now announce that matters concerning Lin Rong will be handled according to the family rules."

"Exhaust all cultivation, confiscate all property!"

"Moreover, the entire Lin Rong family is to be expelled, and their names are to be removed from the genealogy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rong's face changed drastically.

His wife and children behind him collapsed to the ground.

"... Lin Zhenxu, who do you think you are! The head of the family is Lin Zhengxiong, you're just a young upstart!" Lin Rong roared with bloodshot eyes, "I'm your elder, what right do you have to use family rules on me!"

Lin Zhenxu remained expressionless, looking around the room, and asked: "Does anyone have any objections to my handling of this Please speak up."

All the Lin family members around were silent.

They glared at Lin Rong, their eyes blazing with anger.

They did indeed sympathize with Lin Rong's wife and children.

Kalin Rong's attitude and words completely infuriated them.

I support Zhenxu's decision!

"I support it too!"

"Get rid of Lin Rong and his whole family!"

The Lin family was outraged and shouted angrily.

Lin Rong turned his head to glance at his wife and children, letting out a bitter laugh. He then turned back, fixing Lin Zhenxu with a hateful gaze and said, "Lin Zhenxu, you've driven me to a dead end. You'll never get any information from me... You Lin family members just wait to be played by others!"

If you're hoping to gloat, you've got another thing coming.

At that moment, a lazy voice came from behind.

Fang Yu and Su Changge walked in through the main gate, heading towards Lin Zhenxu.

"Mister Fang..." The surrounding Lin family members all greeted him respectfully.

In the past couple of days, their attitude towards Fang Yu has changed drastically. Both outwardly and inwardly, they now only show respect and obedience.

Had Fang Yu not intervened in time, Lin Zhengxiong and Lin Zhi'lan... would have been in grave danger.

The Lin family, it seems, is truly about to plunge into the abyss.

Su Changge followed Fang Yu behind, constantly bowing to those on either side.

Lin Zhenxu saw Fang Yu and frowned slightly.

"Lord Fang, this man's name is Lin Rong. The poisoning of Zhi Lan and the attack on the head of the family are both related to him," said Lin Zhenxi.

Lin Rong looked at Fang Yu, a flash of fear in his eyes.

He knew exactly what this man represented.

But at this moment, he had completely lost his reason.

“Calling him ‘Fang Da’ every other word, your postures are truly disgusting!” Lin Rong chuckled sarcastically. “If the ancestors of the Lin family saw you acting so obsequiously, they would surely be furious and spit blood…”

"Lin Rong! Be quiet!" Lin Zhenxi glared at him, his face grim.

"Shut up Am I wrong" Lin Rong retorted.

Fang Yu turned his head to look at Lin Rong and smiled faintly, "What you said is not quite right. If the Patriarch of the Lin family saw this scene now, he definitely wouldn't be angry."

According to seniority, Fang Yu and the ancestor of the Lin family, Lin Batian, are equal.

Therefore, even if the Lin family members knelt before Fang Yu, he felt justified.

Besides, you don't need to press him. What he knows, might not be as much as what I know. Fang Yu looked at Lin Zhenxu and said.

Lin Zhenshu and Lin Zhenxi's faces changed.

"What can you know" Lin Rong chuckled and asked.

"The person who attacked was Guan Hong, his brother is Guan Yi," Fang Yu said.

"Hahaha... That's what I said." Lin Rong chuckled playfully.

"But in reality, yesterday's attack wasn't a plot by the Guan family alone, but a conspiracy hatched by four families." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes. "The Ma family, the Fan family, the Wan family. These three, plus the Guan family, are the masterminds behind this attack."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rong's smile instantly vanished.

He looked at Fang Yu, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Apart from these four, there's another helping hand: Long Shi, who once topped the Heavenly Rankings." Fang Yu continued, "This person has now broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage."

Lin Rong stared blankly at Fang Yu.

“You’re just a pawn, you shouldn’t know much more than what I’ve said, should you” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.

Lin Rong's face turned pale, and she couldn't speak.

Seeing Lin Rong's appearance, the surrounding members of the Lin family knew that what Fang Yu had said was true, and their expressions became horrified.

The Four Great Top Clans have united to deal with the Lin Family!

There is an unspoken rule among the Eight Families that they should avoid clashing with each other as much as possible.

But now, these four great families have united to plot against the Lin family!

This practice has broken long-standing unspoken rules!

Lin Zhenshu's face was cold as ice. She looked at Fang Yu and asked, "Where did you hear this news from"

Before Fang Yu could speak, Su Changge took a step forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Young Master Lin, it's an honor to meet you. I am Su Changge from the Yingmen of Beidu."

Lin Zhenxu looked at Su Changge, her eyes full of confusion.

"I am Fang's chief attendant, and those pieces of information are what I overheard while sneaking into the Fan residence..." Su Changge said with a smile.econds, the phone was answered. 。"Who are you" Fang Yu asked straight to the point. 。"I... my name is Honglian" 。The other party replied. 。"Red Lotus Little Red" Fang Yu was startled, then remembered...
