It was Zhao Zhuoyan, the president of the Thousand-mile Chamber of Commerce, who came with some martial arts experts.
During the time when Lin Beichen learned the skill of the Flying Eagles and Swallows from Zhao Wuyang and practiced it, the news had naturally spread out.
There were countless secret sentries in the Sage-gathering Manor.
Seeing that their young master was captured, the sentries hidden in the dark immediately reported to Zhao Zhuoyan.
When Zhao Zhuoyan asked more questions, he was spending 500 gold coins, vying for being the first to sleep with the most popular virgin whore on the cruise liner. He had taken some afrodyn and been prepared to make love before it was dark. Upon hearing that his eldest son, whom he had secretly developed as his successor, had an accident, he immediately picked up his pants and rushed over with the martial arts experts from the chamber of commerce, ignoring the fascinating woman’s cry for his stay.
At this moment, the Sage-gathering Manor had already been surrounded closely.
“Whoever hurts my son will have to pay the price. Even if Governor Ling is here to plead for mercy, it’s useless.” Zhao Zhuoyan roared.
He had the confidence to do so.
As the richest person in Cloudy Dream City, he was the owner of the biggest chamber of commerce. He was extremely wealthy and had a good relationship with all the influential and powerful people. Even Ling Junxuan, the City Governor, was always polite to him. There were more than 10 Warrior Experts among his 300 followers.
Those were his capital.
On the way here, he had made up his mind.
He must make the people who hurt his son pay a heavy price.
As he rushed into the Sage-gathering Manor, he saw a guy, with a swollen face like a pig’s, lying on the ground and groaning. His hands and feet were twisted at a strange angle. Apparently, his bones were fractured.
“Who is this guy?”
Zhao Zhuoyan looked around.
“Where’s my son?”
“Dad, Dad, save me….”
Seeing his father appear, Zhao Wuyang felt so aggrieved as if he were a child weighing more than 50 kilograms.
Since he came back from studying in the Dark Purgatory, he felt that he had seen much of the world and he himself was resourceful enough. He looked down on his father who he thought was a bumpkin and upstart and addicted himself to seeking pleasure. And he felt that he would definitely carry forward the Thousand-mile Chamber of Commerce.
But when he saw his father at this time, Zhao Wuyang seemed to see a shining God.
Zhao Zhuoyan was shocked when he heard that and looked at the guy carefully.
Finally, he found that the guy with a swollen face lying on the ground was his son.
“Yang’er, you… Who hurt you? I will let his whole family die…”
Zhao Zhuoyang felt so worried about his son all of a sudden, and he rushed over like a hen protecting its child.
“Swoosh!”
A small silver arrow was launched towards the stout old man.
“Clang!”
A Warrior Expert from the Thousand-mile Chamber of Commerce made his move quickly, stood before Zhao Zhuoyan, and brought down the little silver arrow with his sword, saying, “President, be careful.”
Zhao Zhuoyan was very anxious to save his son. It was only now that he noticed Lin Beichen, who was dressed in a student’s uniform and looked completely different from the rest of the swordsmen in the chamber of commerce.
“Hehe, Uncle Zhao, we meet again,” Lin Beichen calmly said with a grin.
How could he not know that the news had been spread out?
As an experienced schemer, he still had the ability to make this kind of basic judgment.
The reason why he didn’t hurry to leave from the Sage-gathering Manor was that he was waiting for Zhao Zhuoyan to appear.
“It’s you… Are you… Lin Beichen?”
Zhao Zhuoyan felt that the voice was familiar. Upon closer inspection, he was shocked.
He knew Lin Beichen.
Because Lin Beichen had just been to the Zhao’s Mansion six hours ago.
He was there to ask for clearing the debts.
Zhao Zhuoyan had a son who took part in Lin Beichen’s infamous Star Badges Auction in the previous preliminary to the Talent Battle. He owed Lin Beichen 350 gold coins. When Lin Beichen went to ask for the coins for the first time, Zhao Zhuoyan pretended not to be at home and refused.
Today, as soon as Lin Beichen came to visit, Zhao Zhuoyan became very enthusiastic.
He not only received Lin personally but also apologized repeatedly. He even paid an extra 50 gold coins as interest.
The reason was simple.
Although he had never participated in the sword test, as the richest man in Cloudy Dream City, Zhao Zhuoyan knew something about what had happened that night.
In particular, when he learned that Ding Sanshi had killed the three seniors, such as Ming Yuanshan and Lu Zhengdao, he was really shocked.
The Ming family was not in Cloudy Dream City, but its influence in the Wind-language Province was far more powerful than that of his Thousand-mile Chamber of Commerce.
Ming Yuanshan was one of the elders of the Ming family.
Ding Sanshi had even killed such a person for the sake of Lin Beichen. How could he, Zhao Zhuoyan, dally over paying off his debts? He was not an aging man who didn’t want to live a longer life and planned to drink the poison.
He finally sent Lin Beichen away after giving him the interest and speaking well of him.
He managed to solve the matter of concern.
After that, he was in a good mood, so he went to the cruise liner and bought the chance to be the first man of the Top Beauty.
However, he met this little demon in such a situation after only six hours.
Even though Zhao Zhuoyan was cunning, he couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
Obviously, his son had been crippled by this little demon.
How should he deal with this kind of situation?
A drop of cold sweat slipped down along President Zhao’s temples.
For a moment, even his body part, which had been so hard because he had no time to make his move after taking medicine, instantly softened.
Lin Beichen said with a grin, “Uncle Zhao, did you just say that you were going to annihilate someone’s family?”
“Ah… Erm…” Zhao Zhuoyan swallowed and suddenly burst out laughing. “Haha, Lin, you must have misheard. I just said that I was going to tell my second eldest son to learn from you and study hard.”
“Such sweet words.”
Lin Beichen kicked Zhao Wuyang, who was groaning on the ground, and said, “Uncle Zhao, this bastard said that he was your son. Is it true?”
“Ah…”
If it were anyone else, Zhao Zhuoyan would have given up him on the spot.
But after all, he had spent a lot of effort to cultivate his eldest son.
“Yes, it’s my son. This little bastard must have done something evil so that you would teach him a lesson. Haha, you’ve done a good job. Although you were hard on him, it’s good for him. He will learn from that…” Zhao Zhuoyan said.
Upon hearing that, Lin Beichen was convinced on the spot.
He had thought that he was shameless enough.
But in front of such an old fox, there was still a long way for him to go.
Zhao Wuyang, who was lying on the ground, was pissed off when he heard his father’s words.
But he also knew in his heart that he seemed to have offended someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
“Bah!”
No, it wasn’t right.
Fuck! The person took the initiative to offend him.
“Who the hell is this student?”
He was puzzled in his heart.
“Forget it, I don’t want to talk nonsense. You can ask this dog what he did.”
Lin Beichen said in an arrogant and domineering manner, “Give me an answer after you finish asking.”
He was a well-known coxcomb in the city. How could he not be arrogant?
In order to deceive others, the first thing he had to do was to maintain his public image.
A moment later.
Zhao Zhuoyan finally knew the whole story.
As he looked at the dead bodies of his favorite concubine and their daughter lying on the ground, his face turned green and then red. Obviously, he was also very angry.
“This unfilial son.
“It is clear that he intended to make a third party the instrument of a crime for the sake of his jealous mother.
“If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Beichen intervened in this matter today, the news he got in the future would certainly be that the mother and daughter had been killed by the members of the Gale Brothers. He even has found a scapegoat.”
