Chapter 598: Family is my bottom line

On the dock, traffic is under control.

Such a big show, would it be just to pick up a guy who smells?

He patted Lin Yang's shoulder and said.

"Kid, you can brag like that, you're kinda talented."

"Follow me, I guarantee you'll have a place in Xianggang."

As he spoke, he saw Xiahou Wenyuan in battle armor, accompanied by his personal guards and adjutant, walking over.

Xiahou Wenyuan stood before Lin Yang, clasped his fists and spoke loudly.

"Xiahou Wenyuan, respectfully welcoming Mr. Lin's triumphant return to the nation!"

Lin Yang's battle in Fusang attracted attention from many countries worldwide.

This battle, swift and decisive, made the heads of state watching remember Lin Yang.

One person pressed a nation so it couldn't lift its head, even beheading the Emperor, the spiritual symbol.

Even if the Emperor was fake, it was enough to make Fusang lose face.

This battle made no one dare to underestimate Da Xia.

If Da Xia had ten people like Lin Yang, it could truly wipe out a nation.

But after this battle, the Yanjing Council of Elders ordered Lin Yang to be brought back to Yanjing.

The one who came to welcome Lin Yang was Xiahou Wenyuan.

When he was initially repelled by Lin Yang's punch, he didn't blame Lin Yang.

On the contrary, he greatly admired Lin Yang.

He felt that such a person would surely become a pillar of Da Xia.

Looking at this battle, he really hadn't been mistaken.

Lin Yang looked at Xiahou Wenyuan and said with a hearty laugh.

"General Xiahou, such a grand reception—I can't afford it."

Xiahou Wenyuan shook his head and said.

"If it weren't for the urgency, even if this spectacle were ten times grander, what would it matter?"

Lin Yang laughed heartily and followed Xiahou Wenyuan away.

Before leaving, he turned his head to look at the youth.

"I still have things to do; I can't hang out with you."

"In the future, if there's a chance, I'll come find you again."

After Lin Yang left, the youth's legs were trembling.

To have a general come pick him up—that's not something a merchant could match.

The news of Xiahou Wenyuan escorting Lin Yang into the capital was completely blocked.

Everyone was warned that leaking today's affairs would bring deadly disaster.

Upon hearing, nobody dared to speak further.

Official killings never need any reason.

Lin Yang followed Xiahou Wenyuan into Yanjing.

After the fighter jet stopped at the large camp near Yanjing, a modified jeep appeared, carrying them to the hall that symbolizes the pinnacle of power.

When the jeep stopped, Lin Yang and Xiahou Wenyuan got out together.

At this moment, Xiahou Wenyuan clasped his fists and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, please stroll around the garden for now; I'll go make a report."

Lin Yang also didn't say more, just nodded.

He looked around.

This spacious rear garden was filled with flowers and grasses.

These plants were kept neat and orderly.

On the walls surrounding the courtyard, many purple wisteria vines climbed.

"Hey, who are you, how did you get here?"

A fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy, still childish, looked at Lin Yang with some wariness.

The boy dressed plainly, but his eyes were bright and spirited, and he had an otherworldly air.

He warily regarded Lin Yang, placing his fists before his chest.

Seeing the boy like this, Lin Yang smiled slightly and said.

"I think this place is nice; I came just to have a look."

Hearing this reason, the boy said.

"This isn't a place you can come to; get out."

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"I don't know how to get out."

"Then I'll take you out."

Lin Yang smiled slightly, walked to the stone table in the garden and sat down.

"No trouble for you."

Seeing Lin Yang sit down by himself, he also poured himself tea.

His face darkened, and he said to Lin Yang.

"Do you know what place this is?"

You still dare to pour yourself tea? Your gall is too big!

His anger flared, he walked up to Lin Yang and seized his wrist with one hand.

You're not worthy to drink this tea!

He tried to twist Lin Yang's wrist painfully, but no matter how hard he pressed, Lin Yang remained unmoving.

Young man, your inner strength is insufficient; gripping me feels like nothing.

Hearing Lin Yang say that, the youth felt humiliated.

He let out a muffled grunt and secretly exerted force.

But Lin Yang merely smiled, raised his hand, and took a sip of tea.

This tea has a sweet, mellow aftertaste; it's quite good.

Seeing Lin Yang about to pour a second cup, the youth flew into a rage.

He threw a straight punch straight at Lin Yang's face.

But his fist stopped three zhang in front of Lin Yang and could advance no further.

Young man, your punch still needs more practice.

The youth withdrew his fist and gasped heavily.

You... you wait for me!

I'll go call people to arrest you right now.

Hearing that, Lin Yang said with a chuckle.

Fine.

The angry youth was just about to go call people.

An old man in a green robe walked over, smiling.

Chen'er, those guards are no match for Mr. Lin.

Gu Chen saw the old man and ran over.

Grandfather, who is this person? He's so arrogant.

You must punish him!

The old man smiled slightly and said to Lin Yang.

Brother Lin, I've been hearing your name often lately.

This is actually the first time I've met you in person.

Saying that, the old man walked over and sat down beside Lin Yang.

Chen'er, this is the Lin Yang, Mr. Lin you wanted to see.

Didn't you say you wanted to get his autograph?

Gu Chen, who had always lived in Yanjing's highest power institute, heard this and immediately widened his eyes.

He looked at Lin Yang with a mix of excitement and admiration.

Are you really Lin Yang, Mr. Lin?

Seeing him like that, Lin Yang asked.

Do you know me?

Yes, you're a great figure who can suppress a single country by yourself.

How could I not know you?

Seeing him like that, Lin Yang chuckled and asked.

So, you're not going to hit me now?

Gu Chen scratched his head and said to Lin Yang.

No more hitting, no more hitting.

How could I hit you?

Seeing that, the old man lightly slapped his head with a palm and laughed while scolding.

You've completely lost my face.

Get out quickly.

Gu Chen hehe laughed and said.

I'll ask one last question, then leave.

He looked at Lin Yang and said.

Mr. Lin, why did you launch an expedition against Fusang?

Looking at the eager Gu Chen, Lin Yang said.

They wanted to kill my kin, so I'll beat them up and give them a lasting lesson.

Upon hearing that answer, the youth felt a bit disappointed.

But he still excitedly said to Lin Yang.

Wait a moment, I'll come find you again.

After Gu Chen left, Lin Yang looked at the old man.

Old man, my kin are my bottom line.

The old man heard this and was not at all annoyed.

He burst out laughing and said.

Lin Yang, in the past nearly a hundred years, you're the first person daring to speak to me like this.

Lin Yang also wasn't afraid; he nodded and said.

I am also the first person in a hundred years whose strength surpasses yours.
