"But you are not worthy to be my brother's uncle!"
"Chu Chen, you..." Lin Wenhao's face turned ashen, pointing at Chu Chen in a fit of rage.
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry and call for help!" Lin Wenhao roared at the servants beside him.
The Lin family servants heard this and immediately bolted towards the exit.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Unfortunately, before they could take a few steps, three hidden weapons shot out, instantly piercing their throats.
"You..." Lin Wenhao's pupils contracted, staring in terror at the white-clothed youth standing in the center of the courtyard, trembling all over, his eyes filled with shock.
"Who... who exactly are you?" Lin Wenhao swallowed with difficulty.
"I am your Lin family's enemy," Chu Chen said calmly, looking at Lin Wenhao. "I am here, Lin Wenhao, are you ready to pay with your life?"
Lin Wenhao gritted his teeth, his eyes spitting fire as he glared at Chu Chen, saying fiercely, "I advise you not to do anything rash!"
Chu Chen looked at him indifferently, his voice icy, "The thing I hate the most is being threatened, especially when it concerns my family."
Having said this, Chu Chen no longer paid attention to Lin Wenhao and walked towards Old Master Lin.
"Father!" Lin Wenhao screamed, trying to block Chu Chen, but before he could get within half a step, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Immediately after, he was sent flying backward, smashing through the screen behind him.
"Pfft!" Vomiting blood, Lin Wenhao collapsed on the ground, his face ashen.
At this moment, Chu Chen had already reached Old Master Lin, looking down at him from above.
"What do you want?" Old Master Lin's face was ashen. Although he was panicking, he still forced himself to say,
"Chu Chen, I admit, I was wrong to blame you, but you can't just wipe us all out. You are my only grandson!"
"My only grandson, hah, that's the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard," Chu Chen sneered.
"From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever not doted on that lowly girl Lin Ya? I, your only son,
have lived like a slave, and my younger brother was driven mad by you! What right do you have to say 'only'?"
The eldest son of the Lin family also stepped forward, reprimanding angrily, "Chu Chen, Father has already realized his mistake.
He is willing to make amends. If you persist in your folly, do not blame us for being ruthless."
"Oh? How do you plan to make amends?" A smile curved Chu Chen's lips. "My useless brother is already dead. What can you offer to compensate for him?"
"I..." Lin Wenhao was speechless.
At this moment, a maidservant hurried over and whispered in his ear, "Eldest Young Master, the First Madam has sent someone."
The eldest son of the Lin family's eyes lit up, then he gave Chu Chen a mocking cold smile and said, "Chu Chen, I will excuse myself for now. I hope you haven't forgotten our agreement today."
With that, he quickly left with the maidservant, ordering the guards to strengthen patrols and security.
After the eldest son of the Lin family left, Chu Chen walked directly to Old Master Lin and said faintly, "Where is my brother's body? I want to see him."
"Alas," Old Master Lin sighed and waved to a guard beside him, "You, go and fetch it for Chu Chen to see."
The guard nodded and retreated. Before long, a body covered with a white cloth was brought before Chu Chen.
Looking at the young, delicate face beneath the white cloth, Chu Chen's eyes immediately turned red. He took a deep breath and reached out to lift the cloth.
"Brother, it was your brother who failed you!" Chu Chen sobbed uncontrollably, holding the corpse, his heart filled with guilt and regret.
"Wuwu..." Chu Fan lay in Chu Chen's arms, his eyes closed peacefully, as if he were asleep.
"Fan'er, your brother has finally avenged you. Rest in peace," Chu Chen murmured softly, placing Chu Fan on the bed.
Chu Chen turned his head, looking at Old Master Lin and Lin Wenhao and the others, a faint gleam flickering in his eyes.
"Since you want me to pay a price, then I will make you pay a price far heavier than death." A cruel, cold smile played on Chu Chen's lips.
"Lin Wenhao, Lin Wenjie, Lin Yuhao, Lin Yufei, Lin Ya... your end has come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chen's figure turned into a phantom and vanished in an instant.
At this moment, outside the gate of the Lin family manor, three disheveled figures stumbled in, who were none other than Lin Wenhao's three elder brothers.
"Second Brother, Eldest Brother he..." Lin Yuhao said in extreme fear, his face etched with terror.
"Third Brother, don't be afraid. With us here, that waste Chu Chen can't stir up any trouble."
Lin Yuhao's eldest brother patted Lin Yuhao's shoulder, comforting him, "I've already notified our eldest uncle. He'll be here with reinforcements soon!"
Lin Yujie and Lin Yufei nodded in agreement, but a hint of worry lingered in their hearts, "Second Brother, I always feel something is strange. Is he even stronger than me?"
He said with a solemn expression, "No matter how strange it is, Chu Chen must die today! Otherwise, our Lin family will truly be wiped out!"
Lin Yufei frowned and asked doubtfully, "Eldest Brother, why don't we ask for help from Senior Brother? His cultivation should be able to deal with Chu Chen, right?"
"Senior Brother left for Cloud Sea Sect long ago and won't be back anytime soon. As for the Third Prince..."
Lin Yujie shook his head bitterly, "The Third Prince has been scared witless by Chu Chen. I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to offend Chu Chen either."
Hearing this, Lin Yuhao's eyes glinted with malice, "I'm not reconciled! Why should that bastard Chu Chen step all over us!
We must take back what belongs to us!" With that, the eldest and second sons of the Lin family both let out sinister laughs.
Meanwhile, in another courtyard of the Lin mansion, Chu Feng sat in a pavilion, leisurely sipping fragrant tea.
"Bang—!" Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm? What happened?" Chu Feng frowned slightly, got up, and walked to the door. Pushing it open, he saw two Lin mansion guards squatting on the ground, clutching their stomachs, looking miserable.
"What happened?" Chu Feng asked.
"Reporting to Young Master, something terrible has happened!" One of the guards clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain. "Just now... just now Young Master Chu broke into the Old Master's room..."
Chu Feng's gaze sharpened, his eyes becoming fierce, "Where is he now?"
"The Old Master is in the ancestral hall," the guard said tremblingly.
"Let's go, lead the way." Chu Feng immediately strode towards the ancestral hall.
A moment later, all the members of the Lin family were gathered in the ancestral hall.
"Old Master, how are you? Are your injuries serious?" Lin Wenhao asked anxiously.
Old Master Lin's face was gaunt, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his face as pale as paper. Weakly, he said, "Chu Chen, get out here now!"
"I told you to get out! Are you deaf!" Lin Wenhao roared angrily.
However, no matter how much he shouted, Chu Chen never appeared.
