Sister Lin's Spinosaurus Form, Hiss Every Family Has Its Own Difficult Sutra to Chant

“Brother Lin, you really don’t have it easy.”

Shen Ming watched Lin Baizhi run toward Dongfang Zhixia and Shen Qinghan in the distance and couldn’t help sighing.

Over on Lin Tianxiong’s side, he had successfully “purified” and talked some sense into his daughter, at least temporarily calming her down so she wouldn’t pick up a rock and smash Chen Youliang to death in front of all these people.

Yes… in the literal, physical sense.

Their daughter’s murderous intent was not only intense, but also frighteningly pure.

Lin Tianxiong had known about Chen Youliang’s misdeeds for quite some time. He had even specifically assigned people to keep an eye on him, just to prevent Chen Youliang from bullying Ye Cheng at the orphanage.

As it turned out… he had been worrying for nothing.

Chen Youliang was indeed a terrible person. Whenever he had nothing better to do, he liked brainwashing the “Pokémon” at the orphanage and whatnot. But that didn’t include Ye Cheng, the King of Pokémon.

Not only had Ye Cheng never been bullied, Chen Youliang was the one getting tormented by him instead—being repeatedly elbowed and utterly outmatched. Every so often, the people below would send back news of Chen Youliang suffering some fresh misfortune. Unless something unexpected had happened, it was probably Ye Cheng’s doing.

Lin Tianxiong: “…”

It seemed he had been worrying too much.

Of course. How could Ye Cheng possibly be bullied?

Even if anyone was doing the bullying, it ought to be Ye Cheng bullying someone else. How could a nasty old man like that bully him?

Since Ye Cheng had always been handling things with ease, Lin Tianxiong hadn’t interfered too much. He had seen early on that Ye Cheng was a person with a great deal of his own ideas.

A genius’s way of thinking was destined to be different from that of ordinary people like them.

Since it was something Ye Cheng wanted to do, Lin Tianxiong had no reason not to support him. He respected all of Ye Cheng’s actions and decisions unconditionally.

If Ye Cheng ever encountered some troublesome, thorny problem—one he truly couldn’t solve himself—there was a good chance he would come to Lin Tianxiong for help. Ye Cheng wasn’t the sort of person who was too proud to ask or liked putting on airs.

On the contrary, he was extremely practical. He could quickly assess the situation and then…

“Get the crowd to handle it!”

Hey, buddy, individual heroism is a no-go. One person’s strength is limited—you need to mobilize the masses!

Of course, Lin Tianxiong had his own little ulterior motive as well. For example… once Ye Cheng got together with his daughter, asking someone else for help wouldn’t count anymore. They would be family by then, and family matters were his matters too.

Wouldn’t dealing with Chen Youliang be a piece of cake at that point?

Whatever Chen Youliang had swallowed over the years, he would have to spit all of it back out. Based on Lin Tianxiong’s initial estimate, Chen Youliang’s crimes alone would earn him at least ten years in prison, with no upper limit.

With a professional legal team fighting for the case, twenty years was not impossible. Most likely, he would spend the rest of his life behind bars.

As far as Lin Tianxiong was concerned, Chen Youliang’s matter had never been especially urgent.

First, he could cover for Ye Cheng. Second… his daughter needed this opportunity.

Otherwise, with Ye Cheng’s intelligence and some of his odd behavior and mannerisms, it was genuinely hard to say whether his daughter could win him over.

As the saying went, plans could never keep up with changes. The above had been Lin Tianxiong’s original plan, but the changes had come too quickly. He hadn’t expected Ye Cheng to suddenly disappear.

In one stroke, the other families had all been dragged into the mess, and the orphanage scandal… had been exposed completely.

Looking at things now…

Lin Tianxiong glanced at Chen Youliang, who was being held up by bodyguards from the Dongfang family in the distance, and frowned inwardly. This situation didn’t look good. What if the other young ladies made the first move?

Fortunately, his own daughter wasn’t some weak little white flower. When she wanted something, she fought and snatched for it. Her methods in the business world and her decisive, no-nonsense style made it clear that Lin Baizhi was definitely not someone who could be pushed around.

What was more, this involved Ye Cheng.

What a joke. Lin Baizhi had been thinking about him for so many years. Forget touching him—even anyone who merely glanced at him would immediately be met with a hiss!

Sister Lin—Spinosaurus Mode… activate!

Here we go!

Under Lin Tianxiong’s watchful gaze, Lin Baizhi had just been persuaded not to smash anyone with a rock. But the moment she saw Dongfang Zhixia and Shen Qinghan surrounding Xiao Chun and interrogating her, she instantly exploded.

She began hissing and entered combat mode.

Hiss!!!

Lin Tianxiong: “…”

“Brother Lin, you really don’t have it easy.”

A familiar voice belonging to an old friend came from nearby, pulling Lin Tianxiong back to reality.

“It’s all right. You get used to it. Kids are bound to be a little impulsive, haha…” Lin Tianxiong said with a laugh.

There was nothing wrong with saying that being impulsive was normal for children. But… wasn’t this a little too extreme?

Shen Ming remembered the way Lin Baizhi had looked like a madwoman earlier, kicking and punching Chen Youliang, an unarmed old man, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He hadn’t noticed it before, but Young Boss Lin actually had this sort of personality…

What a contrast.

Hmm. Just like his wife.

Shen Ming nodded, looking rather approving. “Yes, children do tend to be a little impulsive. We parents need to keep an eye on them.”

Lin Tianxiong nodded in agreement, while Su Su furrowed her brows.

“Impulsiveness is a sign of immaturity.” Su Su’s voice, strangely pleasant and carrying a bewitching charm, rang out as she stepped on both men’s toes.

“Our Zhixia would never do anything like that!”

As Su Su spoke, she looked inexplicably proud and thrust out her chest. Their Zhixia was the best. Not only could she keep her temper under control, she always handled everything with ease, no matter the situation!

Always.

Under normal circumstances, words so full of gunpowder shouldn’t have been spoken. Saying something like that meant offending people, and at their level, offending someone was extremely unwise.

After all, they were all part of the same circle. They would inevitably see each other again, whether they looked up or lowered their heads…

But Su Su was still holding a grudge over the blind date from years ago.

She had to get her payback now—she had to step on them hard!

Shen Ming: “…”

The corner of Shen Ming’s mouth twitched, and he didn’t dare respond. If he said anything now, Su Su would probably chase him down and bite him. It was better to keep quiet. There was no point in making himself another enemy just for the sake of temporary satisfaction.

Of course, Doudou-ge was looking at things from the eldest-miss’s perspective at this moment. His priority was still to lull his big brother’s family into a false sense of security!

His beloved big brother had already been successfully distracted by the smoke screen. The only one left was Su Su, who was still putting up a stubborn resistance…

She wasn’t easy to fool.

“Haha, Miss Su is right,” Lin Tianxiong hurriedly cut in when he saw Shen Ming fall silent, smoothing things over. “It is indeed a sign of immaturity. Our Baizhi still has a lot to learn. I hope she can catch up to Niece Zhixia someday.”

He had heard a few stories about the two of them before. Judging from the current situation, it seemed they were probably true.

Besides… so many years had passed. Was she really still holding a grudge?

Talk about being petty. Was her mind really that small?

“Hmph.” Su Su let out a soft snort, shooting an unhappy glance at Shen Ming across from her. She did not continue, stopping just short of crossing the line. Any more would have been too much.

The two families still had a very good relationship. Otherwise, they would not have tried to set the two of them up all those years ago. Su Su had long since let the matter go, but she was still extremely annoyed.

If only she had rejected Shen Ming first back then. Then she would not still be carrying this knot in her heart after all these years.

She had developed a strange illness—the moment she saw Shen Ming, she wanted to get revenge...

“Why are you the one who came over today?” Su Su suddenly asked Shen Ming.

Shen Ming froze for a moment before realizing what she meant. Usually, when there was something fun to watch, the first person to come running over should have been his wife.

But today, it was Shen Ming who had shown up... which was rather unusual.

“My wife went out of town on a business trip. She’ll be back after a while,” Shen Ming said.

Whether she had really gone on a business trip remained questionable. That deserved a big question mark. But the fact that she would not be coming back anytime soon was true. Even Shen Ming had no idea how long “a while” meant.

A day? A week? A month? Or a year?

Any of those were possible.

Shen Ming was quite clever. He knew that his wife had probably gone off to handle something. Otherwise, she would never have left at a time like this. When it came to their Hanhan, his wife would never act recklessly.

All the clues were gradually pointing toward one possibility...

There was only one truth...

She had gone to find Ye Cheng.

Shen Ming: “...”

Although he had no idea why his wife had taken a dog with her to look for someone. Shouldn’t she have sent people from the family to investigate? Shouldn’t she have relied on the power of technology?

What was this... Why was she such a reckless brute?

Naturally, Shen Ming only dared to grumble about that in his heart. If he actually said it in front of his wife, he would probably be punched so hard that he would see the revolving lanterns of his life, followed by a nonstop combo that turned him into either a beef ball or a bear-shaped cookie.

Or perhaps a beef ball that tasted like bear-shaped cookies, or bear-shaped cookies with the flavor of beef balls. Those sounded like decent choices too...

Su Su raised an eyebrow, her expression turning rather strange. “A business trip? Who? Wanyi?”

Shen Ming: “...”

Why did everyone look down on him?

Not only did Su Su look puzzled—even the old brother beside her stared at him in shock, though he did not say anything.

Shen Ming: “...”

Brother Lin, even you?

Whenever someone mentioned his wife, people automatically associated her with words like demoness, idle, living off others, and Big Gourd Brother Seven. That was the kind of reputation she had built.

“Ahem, yes, Wanyi went on a business trip. Is there a problem?” Shen Ming coughed twice and forced himself to speak, putting on a brave front with a perfectly straight face.

Only Shen Ming, the person involved, knew how guilty he felt saying those words... How could he not know what his wife was really like?

Making such a shameless statement felt like it had shaved two years off his life. He just did not know whether he would get struck by lightning the next time he was walking down the street.

Probably... not, right?

Shen Ming’s answer left Su Su speechless. A bad feeling rose in her heart. Surely that demoness was not plotting something huge again?

What if, the next time they met, she said something like, “This item and I are fated,” or “This belongs to our Du family,” or “I didn’t even do anything—it just ended up in my pocket by itself”?

Su Su: “...”

While the three old foxes were bombarding one another with lies, the roar of engines suddenly came from the end of the road in the distance.

A dense mass of headlights appeared, accompanied by a convoy of black vehicles.

The line stretched farther than the eye could see.

The young lady’s reinforcements had arrived. Every last one of them was from the Du family. The dark, overwhelming force clearly felt different from the Eastern family’s bodyguards—these people were much more vicious and imposing.

“Why did she call so many people over?” Shen Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief. What on earth had his daughter just said?

A short-haired woman emerged from the crowd, preparing to go report back to her young master. Shen Ming reacted quickly and grabbed her.

“Little Lan, what’s going on? Why did you bring so many people here?” Shen Ming asked.

The short-haired woman hesitated slightly. “I’m sorry, Madam, but I can’t tell you. The head of the family said that the harem must not interfere in politics.”

Shen Ming: “...”

Lin Tianxiong: “...”

Su Su: “...”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, landing perfectly in the ears of the three men.

Silence was the Cambridge of tonight.

The three middle-aged men fell utterly silent, even though the wife in question was not there.

But... her spiritual legacy had been passed down.

An elbow strike across time and space had silenced all three of them.

“The harem must not interfere in politics.” The harem... who was she talking about?

Brother Dou Dou?

Shen Ming: “...”

The silence was soon broken because the bodyguards Dongfang Zhixia had sent to “invite” people had returned, bringing Chen Youliang’s entire family with them!

Dozens of people, young and old, all related by blood or marriage, had been “invited” over.

On the way there, the Du family’s cars and people had already filled the road, leaving no room for the Eastern family’s vehicles to get through. In the end, they had no choice but to walk over.

In other words, the entire group had been pressed forward under the fierce, intimidating gazes of the Du family’s people.

Not one of them dared to breathe too loudly. Everyone could feel the oppressive, terrifying atmosphere of the night.

Something was about to happen!
