The Chen family doesn't need evidence; suspicion is enough.
???
What's going on?
Could it be that the "Ice-Cold Divine Needle" has this kind of effect?
That's not right!
Lin Xiao didn't immediately think in that direction, but instead assumed it might be a problem with his medical skills.
But soon, he noticed that Lin Jiuxiao's gaze seemed a little strange!
For some reason, seeing that there was hope for the recovery of his manhood, Lin Jiuxiao was so excited that he felt that Lin Xiao's resolute face, serious expression, and focused gaze had a strange charm.
So, he instinctively grabbed Lin Xiao's hand, his face filled with excitement:
"Brother Lin, your medical skills are truly amazing, far surpassing those so-called masters. Hey, Brother Lin, your hands are so smooth, even softer than a woman's! How do you take care of them...?"
As he was talking, he habitually started touching himself.
Dig a hole!
Something's not right!
This guy wouldn't...
Lin Xiao instantly recalled the unusual hobbies of some wealthy and powerful families, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.
Damn it, this spoiled brat not only tried to mess with Leng Ruobing, but now he's going after him too?!
If I had known, I shouldn't have cured that little bastard!
...
Just as Chen Beiyuan had predicted.
The imperial family eventually stepped in to clear things up... no, they should say to maintain order and mediate the conflict.
The Imperial Family called on the Chen and Lin families of Donghua to prioritize harmony and use force externally, not internally.
Previously, when Chen Beiyuan and Lin Jiuzhou were locked in a fierce battle, with the two top families going head-to-head, the imperial family didn't even step in to stop them.
Now that the matter is over, they're rushing to come out and maintain peace.
It's fair to say that the biggest disappointment that the Chen and Lin families didn't clash this time is probably the imperial family and other top aristocratic families.
There's no way around it; if two top-tier families, who together control 80% of the empire's military power, were to get along harmoniously and become inseparable, the first to complain would be the imperial family.
If a fight breaks out, that would be the best outcome.
At that time, the imperial family will also be able to use this opportunity to weaken the two powers and reclaim some military power.
Other top families have long coveted the military power held by these two families and have always wanted to get involved.
Unfortunately, I haven't found the opportunity yet.
I thought this might be an opportunity.
However, this was after Chen Beiyuan decisively defeated Lin Jiuzhou.
The second son of the Donghua Lin family quickly backed down and reached an internal settlement with the eldest son of the Donghua Chen family, thus letting the matter drop.
The swift reconciliation between the two parties undoubtedly dashed the hopes of many.
...
The Leng family ancestral home.
Leng Ruobing, who was preparing to take her comatose father away for a few days, was stunned when she learned that the Chen family and the Lin family had reached a reconciliation.
"So, the matter is over."
Leng Ruobing leaned against the corner of the wall, slowly sliding down until she huddled in the corner, burying her face in her knees, and muttered to herself.
Throughout the entire ordeal, she was neither the catalyst nor the victim; no one ever mentioned her.
Even various factions have overlooked it.
Those high-ranking figures wouldn't care about the so-called innocence or life and death of a nobody.
This time, if it weren't for Chen Beiyuan, no one would have cared even if she had died in the Kyoto nightclub.
...
The reconciliation between the two behemoths, the Chen family and the Lin family of Donghua, seemed to have put an end to everything.
However, Chen Beiyuan's victory over Lin Jiuzhou was far from over...
Almost simultaneously, all the younger generation of powerful figures in the empire learned of this matter.
...
The Chen family.
Chen Beiyuan, naked, soaked in the blood pool, his eyes deep in thought.
The "Anu" that should have been over ten meters long had shrunk to less than half a meter in length and wrapped directly around his body.
For dragons, changes in size have never been a problem.
To grow bigger or smaller is just a matter of a single thought.
The majestic scarlet dragon head rested on his head, shaking its head from time to time, with a look of enjoyment on its face.
Occasionally, it would stick out its dragon tongue and lick and bite Chen Beiyuan's head, just like a naughty child.
This is because Chen Beiyuan's physical body is strong enough to rival that of a ferocious beast.
If it were anyone else, they would have been driven crazy by that brat "Anu" long ago...
For this playful little guy, Chen Beiyuan was the closest and dearest person, and not just because of blood ties.
Also because the other person fed her and gave her drinks every day, and played with her...
She absolutely adores this guy!
"Owner..."
An Biyu was about to step forward to serve.
Before it could even get close, it was stared at by Anu's eerie double pupils, which exuded an oppressive aura.
An Biyu's cold and alluring face stiffened slightly, and she felt a suffocating sensation wash over her like a tidal wave, causing her to stop in her tracks.
Ever since Anu hatched, it has been extremely averse to any male approaching Chen Beiyuan, almost wishing it could possess him entirely.
Last time, An Biyu almost got eaten by it because of this.
Although it has only recently been reborn and is still in a daze, it vaguely reveals the domineering personality of the Blood Dragon Emperor before its rebirth in relation to Chen Beiyuan.
Chen Beiyuan ignored the standoff between the man and the dragon, and instead pondered other matters:
"Those who think they can play the 'when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits' trick? There aren't that many fools!"
"The Kyoto nightclub incident must have involved various parties behind the scenes, otherwise it wouldn't have blown up so much."
"Lin Jiuzhou must have discovered something too..."
"That kid Bai Yuze has been used as a pawn..."
There are likely still many unanswered questions surrounding the Kyoto nightclub incident.
Of the cronies Bai Yuze called for help, very few were good people; most had something to hide...
When they barged into the private room, some people deliberately stirred up trouble in front of Bai Yuze, trying to escalate the situation...
Otherwise, with so many people at the time, how could they not stop Bai Yuze from his superiors?
It's all about escalating things and getting the Chen family involved.
It would be even better if the Chen family and the Lin family could fight each other.
Undeniably, some people's schemes succeeded.
Even if Lin Jiuzhou sensed something was wrong, the fact that his third brother had been beaten so badly put the Lin family in such a precarious position meant that, as the young master of the Lin family, he had to react...
Unfortunately, the final result was very disappointing to those behind the scenes.
"The Zhu family, the Wei family, the Wang family, the Li family... each one of them is highly suspicious."
"That's true. The Chen and Lin families hold military power in the empire; who wouldn't be eager to take advantage of that..."
"Since we can't guess the general idea, let's just take action. Everyone who might be involved needs to be dealt with."
"The Chen family doesn't need evidence; suspicion is enough."
He picked up the young master's token beside him and issued a secret command.
...
That night, the纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) of the Zhu, Wei, Wang, Li, and other prominent families were suddenly attacked by a "mysterious ferocious beast".
The limbs that had just been reattached were broken again.
Among them, several who resisted fiercely had their third leg broken.
