Chapter 568: Qin Lie

Zheng Haoyang returned home and immediately dialed Xiao Zhenxing's phone.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Lin went completely crazy tonight."

"Are we... with him..."

Xiao Zhenxing listened to Zheng Haoyang's words and asked.

"What on earth happened to make you so scared?"

Still frightened, Zheng Haoyang recounted today's events in full.

"Mr. Xiao, he even killed members of the Jiang Clan; if this gets out, it will be terribly inappropriate."

"Anyway, everyone knows I'm on his side..."

Xiao Zhenxing heard this and showed no surprise at all.

"I thought it was something major."

Listening to Xiao Zhenxing's calm tone, he asked.

"Could it be that you're not shocked at all?"

"Shocked?"

Xiao Zhenxing laughed: "If you knew what he did in Xianggang, you wouldn't be shocked."

"You can rest easy."

"Everyone among the eight great royal families knows about his plan to exterminate the Jiang Clan."

"We just need to quietly wait for the outcome."

"As for your relationship with him, if you feel it's dangerous, I can send someone else."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Haoyang immediately said.

"Please let me think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Haoyang still hadn't regained his composure.

The fact that Lin Yang intends to exterminate the Jiang Clan is known even to the eight great royal families.

That means Lin Yang might actually be able to wipe out the Jiang Clan!

Otherwise, given his understanding of those royal families, they would have already acted against Lin Yang.

Killing Lin Yang and selling a favor to the Jiang Clan— they would definitely do that.

After pondering for a while, he decided to continue standing on Lin Yang's side!

If Lin Yang really can exterminate the Jiang Clan, his status will also rise dramatically!

"The bold will be stuffed, the timid will starve."

At worst, I'll just die!

If successful, I could become a follower of the dragon.

As for this matter, everyone will keep it sealed after returning.

A few members of the Jiang Clan have died, but the Jiang Clan still exists.

No one dares speak ill of the Jiang Clan; as for Lin Yang, ordinary people really don't dare to say anything.

But Guan Bao and the others are clearly not ordinary people.

Guan Bao now already utterly hates Lin Yang.

In front of so many people, humiliating himself like that— he must avenge this grudge!

After brewing for a while, he organized a charity banquet.

He specially invited the wealthy second-generation heirs with power and influence from Modu to attend.

Also, some influential figures from Modu were invited together.

Zheng Haoyang was naturally invited as well.

When he received the invitation, he hesitated about whether to call Lin Yang.

While he was hesitating, Lin Yang happened to call.

"Old Zheng, when is the birthday banquet for the elder of the Zhang family?"

"There's still a week."

He looked at the invitation, gritted his teeth, and said.

"If you're feeling bored, there's a charity banquet tonight— are you interested?"

"A charity banquet?"

He thought for a moment, maybe the Jiang Clan people will also go.

"Sure, give me an invitation."

"Okay."

In the evening, when Lin Yang appeared at the sky hotel, seeing the Modu heirs, he couldn't help but frown.

Here, it seems there are no members of the Jiang Clan.

Seeing Lin Yang frown, Zheng Haoyang said.

"Tonight, the Jiang Clan people probably won't come back."

"It seems the Jiang Clan has some major affair, and everyone collectively returned to Yanjing."

Upon hearing that the Jiang Clan had returned to Yanjing, Lin Yang frowned and said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I only just found out a moment ago."

"However, I heard they will still come."

"Because you..."

Lin Yang laughed and said, "Because I killed their people, right?"

"Good, very good, I'll wait for them to come."

Lin Yang's laugh naturally drew many people to look over.

Among them was an acquaintance of Lin Yang.

Zhang Qiling, wearing a white evening gown, couldn't help but look over.

Upon seeing Lin Yang, her eyes lit up.

"Lin Yang, you've come to Modu, huh."

Seeing Zhang Qiling jog over, Zheng Haoyang raised his brow.

Then, the sensible one walked away.

Zhang Qiling stood beside Lin Yang, laughing as she asked.

"When did you come to Modu?"

"You didn't even tell me; that's not very friendly."

Lin Yang raised his eyebrow, logically speaking.

The Zhang family should have heard my news by now.

After all, I made a huge fuss just a week ago.

But Zhang Qiling knew nothing about it.

He chuckled and said, "Maybe you just haven't been paying attention to outside news."

"Or is there a problem with the Zhang family's information channels?"

"I certainly caused a big commotion a week ago."

"A big commotion?"

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and said.

"But we haven't received any news at all."

"Third Uncle said, Modu is still the same as usual."

"Aside from the Jiang clan and other big families coming to Modu to celebrate Grandfather's birthday..."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang asked.

"Do you know whether the Jiang clan members have returned to Yanjing?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Qiling frowned and said, "How would I not know?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

Her answer made Lin Yang feel that something must be wrong within the Zhang family.

Either a faction of the Zhang family is plotting something.

Or outsiders are plotting against the Zhang family.

For a big family like the Zhangs, to deal with them you must first cut off their information sources.

Then, nibble away at them step by step.

"During this time when you're back home, pay attention."

"If you encounter anything suspicious, remember to call me."

"Ah?"

Lin Yang's out-of-the-blue remark left Zhang Qiling a bit dazed for a moment.

"My family has stood firm in Modu for years; what could possibly go wrong?"

"Surely no blind fool would want to mess with our Zhang family."

Just as Zhang Qiling frowned, Guan Bao's cold laugh rang out.

"Mr. Lin, you're really fortunate—wherever you go, you have beautiful women accompanying you."

"At the celebrity party, there are popular stars keeping you company."

"At our charity banquet, there's also Miss Zhang keeping you company—you really are blessed."

Facing Guan Bao's sarcasm, Lin Yang felt no inner disturbance.

He said to Zhang Qiling.

"Just now a dog barked—did you hear it?"

Upon hearing that, Zhang Qiling puffed a laugh, nodded, and said.

"I heard it too; the sound was pretty unpleasant."

Upon hearing that, Guan Bao's face instantly darkened.

As he was about to lose his temper, a hand landed on his shoulder.

He turned back to look.

A young man with a big pompadour, wearing glasses and a smile, walked over laughing.

Seeing the young man, Guan Bao immediately stepped back.

"Young Master Qin, you've come."

Qin Lie laughed and nodded as he spoke.

"We're friends; of course I had to come support your charity banquet."

"If I run into anyone causing trouble there, I'll still help you teach them a lesson."

"I think in Modu, there's nothing our Qin family can't handle."

Having said that, he glanced at Lin Yang, then turned to Zhang Qiling and spoke.

"Ling'er, we are people of high standing; we shouldn't be crowded together with a bunch of people. Let's change places."
