C140 He Begged Master Lin to Spare the Wang Family's Life

The Wang Family was at a loss, completely unaware of what had transpired. They couldn't comprehend how Lin Yin, the so-called Trash Son-in-law known throughout Qingyun City, possessed such formidable martial skills and an imposing aura.

Lin Yin glanced over the Wang Family members kneeling and bowing before him and spoke calmly, "I expect today's events to remain within these walls. I also have no desire to encounter the Wang father and son or the Zhang Hongyu couple again. Shen San, I'll leave the rest to you." With that, Lin Yin took Zhang Qimo's hand and strolled out of the Wang Family's grand hall.

Silence enveloped the hall as astonishment painted the faces of those left behind. "Qimo, wait, please! I'm your Second Aunt. I'm begging you, have Lin Yin spare me!" Zhang Hongyu wailed, her apologies tumbling out between sobs. "I'm so sorry, Qimo. I was blind to have spoken against you. And Master Lin, I've made a grave mistake. Please, forgive me!"

"Indeed, Master Lin, Qimo, in consideration of Hongyu, have mercy on me!" Wang Zhong pleaded, his forehead touching the floor repeatedly, his face a portrait of terror, a stark contrast to his former arrogance.

The couple was utterly terrified, unable to fathom that Lin Yin, the Trash Son-in-law they had once scorned, wielded such immense power. Even Shen San was at his command, and their own family elders had knelt to make amends. Who was Lin Yin, truly?

Zhang Qimo let out a cold laugh, not bothering to look back. Though a woman of gentle nature, she could not forgive Zhang Hongyu's relentless mockery and her encouragement of Wang Ziwen's vile intentions.

Under the awed and reverent stares of the onlookers, Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo departed from the Wang residence.

The remaining members of the Wang Family wore expressions of bitterness as they stared blankly at Shen San and the trio of brothers, Liu Jun and his two siblings.

"Third Master, could you possibly intercede with Master Lin on our behalf?" Wang Chengdao asked, his voice laced with pain.

"Intercede for you? Ha, Mr. Wang, have you lost your senses?" Shen San responded with a scornful chuckle.

A group of fools dared to cross Master Lin. They got what they deserved.

"Master Lin has decreed that today's events must not be spread. Wang Chengdao, tell me, what should be done?" Shen San asked with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"Ah!" Wang Chengdao was terrified. "Please, spare the Wang Family! Leave us one survivor."

"You heard Master Lin. He no longer wants to see Wang Zhong and his wife, nor Wang Guokang and his son," Shen San said with a cold laugh. "Wang Chengdao, what do you propose we do?"

"Third Master, there's no need for you to intervene. I will handle this matter myself," Wang Chengdao pleaded, having an epiphany.

Shen San watched Wang Chengdao with a smirk.

Rising to his feet, Wang Chengdao declared viciously, "Wang Guokang, Wang Ziwen, Zhang Hongyu, Wang Zhong, all four of you! Leave the Wang Family at once. I'm freezing all your assets and reclaiming your wealth! And I'll make it known to Qingyun City's elite that you two are no longer part of the Wang Family!"

"Did you hear that? And if any word of today's incident leaks out, I won't even need to involve Master Lin or Third Master—I'll deal with you myself!" Wang Chengdao threatened.

"Heh, Old Master Wang sure plays hardball," Shen San commented casually. "Let me add one more thing. Listen up, all four of you! You will find no refuge in Qingyun City. No company will offer you employment. You'll be reduced to begging on the streets. Understand? And if you dare leave Qingyun City, you're as good as dead!"

The faces of Wang Guokang and the others turned deathly pale, as if the sky had fallen. They collapsed to the ground, completely devastated.

Such cruelty!

They had all grown accustomed to a life of luxury and couldn't even fathom enduring poverty. And now, to be suddenly disowned, stripped of all assets, and publicly denounced?

How were they to survive after such a fall from grace? It was like plummeting from heaven into hell!

For Wang Guokang and his son, it was an especially bitter pill. Their spirits were crushed, their complexions ghostly. Not only had they been cut off from their lineage, but they had also lost everything—their status, their family, and even the possibility of finding work. Their only option left was to beg on the streets.

It was more agonizing than death itself!

All because they had crossed Lin Yin, the man scornfully labeled as the Trash Son-in-law?

"Do you understand now? You lot?" Shen San glared at Wang Guokang with icy contempt.

"You imbeciles! How dare you cross Master Lin? You brought this on yourselves! Now scram!" Wang Chengdao barked furiously. "Why aren't you bowing down to the Third Master and thanking him for not taking your lives?"

"Thank you, Third Master."

Wang Guokang and his companions were hollow-eyed, their spirits shattered, tears streaming as they knelt and repeatedly bowed their heads.

"Bodyguards, take these men out of the Wang Family estate. If they dare return, finish them off," Wang Chengdao commanded ruthlessly.

In an instant, the Wang Family bodyguards pounced, hauling Wang Guokang and his group out with a mix of punches and drags. Their faces ashen, they were left to ponder the bleak life ahead, and the inevitable retribution from those they had wronged.

Shen San let out a mocking chuckle, offering no further words. He departed the Wang Family estate with Liu Jun and his brothers, ready to report back to Master Lin.

Once Shen San had left, Wang Chengdao sighed deeply, his hands shaking as he clutched them together.

"Chengqian, you're in charge of the Wang Family from now on. I'm too old for this," Wang Chengdao said, his voice laced with defeat. Then, a thought struck him. "Hongling has some connection with Lin Yin, right? Go and speak to her, but let nothing slip! She must use all her wits to ingratiate herself with Lin Yin! Do you understand? The fate of the Wang Family rests on Hongling's ability to win Lin Yin's favor!"

...

Meanwhile, Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo left the Wang Family grounds and settled into their car, heading back to Snow Dragon Villa.

"Lin Yin, how on earth did you manage to get someone as influential as Shen San to be so obedient?" Zhang Qimo inquired.

Today, she had truly realized the extent of her husband's capabilities and influence.

He had effortlessly toppled the Wang Family of Qingyun City! It was a tale so unbelievable, it would be hard to convince anyone of its truth.

"Actually, I'm quite powerful," Lin Yin said with a subdued smile.

Zhang Qimo nibbled on her lip and responded, "I know."

She had always harbored suspicions that there was more to Lin Yin than met the eye, yet she had never imagined he would be this formidable. Still, she couldn't fathom why Lin Yin hadn't revealed his strength earlier. Could it be that he was guarding a significant secret?

Zhang Qimo pondered this but ultimately decided it didn't matter. As long as Lin Yin cared for her, that was enough. She didn't need to pry into how powerful he was or the secrets he might hold.

Beep, beep.

Just then, Lin Yin's phone began to ring.

It was a call from Ning Zongbao.

"Master Lin, I am deeply sorry. The fault was entirely mine!" Ning Zongbao spoke with a tone of reverence and anxiety.
