"Are you Grandpa Liu? My father just mentioned you to me," Yang Siqing said, speaking with poise and generosity.
"Heh, it is I. My child, to be able to stand on your own, you've been through a lot," the elder Liu replied.
Elder Liu's expression turned stern, and he looked around.
"Who is Chen Jie?"
"Who is Chen Jie?" Seeing no one respond, Elder Liu called out again.
"Old man, are you talking to me?" Chen Jie, inside the villa, said dismissively.
"Liu Lin!" Lin Shuang suddenly exclaimed.
She quickly shouted to Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, hurry over here!"
"What is it?" Chen Jie asked, not moving.
"Hurry over!" Lin Shuang stomped her foot and said.
Since his fiancée had spoken, Chen Jie couldn't refuse her request.
So Chen Jie stood up and walked to Lin Shuang's side.
Beside Lin Shuang were Team Leader Sheng Guofu and a group of Dragon Team members.
Lin Shuang said anxiously, "Chen Jie, run!"
"Run? Why should I run?" Chen Jie asked.
"You... you are no match for this Liu Lin! He is above the Heavenly rank, a master-level expert!" Lin Shuang said urgently.
"Yang Ding Tian actually befriended Liu Lin. This is something I did not expect," Sheng Guofu mused.
"Liu Lin? You know him?" Chen Jie asked, puzzled.
Lin Shuang said anxiously, "Chen Jie, you may not know this, but Liu Lin was originally imprisoned in our Dragon Team's jail. However, we did not restrict his freedom. This is because no one in our Pingcheng branch could handle Liu Lin. Liu Lin usually kept a low profile, so we didn't bother with him."
"Now, Yang Ding Tian has invited him to the Yang family. You are in danger!"
"A master-level expert? You want me to leave such a good opportunity? I'm sorry, but I refuse!" Chen Jie said, his tone filled with excitement.
He had never encountered anyone who could make him fight with all his might. Meeting one today made his hands itch.
"You..."
Lin Shuang was extremely anxious and said to Sheng Guofu, "Team Leader, among us, only you can hold Liu Lin back. Please help Chen Jie!"
Chen Jie looked surprised. He hadn't expected the ordinary-looking Sheng Guofu to be able to restrain the master-level expert Liu Lin. He must be a master-level expert himself.
It seemed that the Dragon Team was not lacking in experts.
Sheng Guofu said with guilt, "It was my dereliction of duty to let Yang Ding Tian take away the opportunity to befriend Liu Lin. However, our Dragon Team can only maintain a neutral stance on such matters. Moreover, if I were to intervene and anger Liu Lin, it would be disastrous if he went on a rampage."
Just as Chen Jie thought he was going to refuse, Sheng Guofu's tone changed. "As long as you agree to join our Dragon Team, I will have a reason to help you block him. Chen Jie, consider it."
"No need! I've been wanting to see just how strong a master-level expert is," Chen Jie said excitedly.
Sheng Guofu gasped, then shook his head helplessly.
"Chen Jie, you..."
Lin Shuang was furious, thinking Chen Jie was incredibly foolish.
"Are you Chen Jie?" Liu Lin looked at Chen Jie with a cold expression and said.
"It is I," Chen Jie replied.
"You little scoundrel, don't blame me, an old man, for bullying you. Kneel down, kowtow three times to Yang Siqing, break your own legs, and hand over the treasure you stole from Yang Siqing. I can let you crawl away!" Liu Lin said indifferently.
Chen Jie's expression darkened.
Zhou Wei quickly shouted, "You old beast, are you looking to die? Do you know who Brother Chen is? You're already half in the grave, and you dare to act so boldly. If you offend Brother Chen, you might not even have the chance to be buried!"
"Now, kneel down immediately and apologize for your disrespect to Brother Chen! I'll then smash your face to bits, and you can get lost!"
Chen Jie was being insulted, so he naturally had to be the first to stand up and protect his master.
"When I am disciplining your master, when does it become your turn to bark like a dog? Go back to your mother's womb and be reborn!"
Liu Lin was not to be trifled with, or he wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Dragon Team's jail.
He immediately extended a finger and pointed it at Zhou Wei from a distance.
Instantly, a surge of qi shot rapidly towards Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei, after all, was an ordinary person. By the time he reacted, the qi had already reached him.
*Puff puff puff...*
In an instant, three shields appeared on his body one after another.
These three shields were from three protective talismans. Since Zhou Wei was acting as Chen Jie's bodyguard, he naturally had to wear a few more to protect himself.
Who would have thought that with three crisp sounds, all three shields would shatter?
Although the last surge of qi was weakened significantly, it still struck Zhou Wei.
With a *poof*, his body was directly pierced.
"Ah!"
Zhou Wei let out a scream, his face turning extremely pale.
In this scream, there was also a hint of heartache.
Because if the protective talismans were not replenished with energy in time after being hit, they would shatter directly.
The shattering of three layers of shields meant that three protective talismans were destroyed.
In an instant, six million yuan vanished into thin air, and Zhou Wei himself was heartbroken.
"Huh? You withstood my attack and didn't explode directly?" Liu Lin asked in surprise.
He knew that a single surge of his qi could send not only ordinary people but even experts of the Earth rank to the underworld.
Yet now, his qi was blocked by something, and it only pierced Zhou Wei's body like an ordinary knife, without causing significant damage.
"Grandpa Liu, he is wearing a protective talisman that automatically blocks attacks for the owner!" Yang Siqing reminded him.
"So that's how it is, relying on external objects, a mere trick!"
Liu Lin's face showed understanding, and then he looked at Chen Jie. "Don't let your dog die. First, break your own legs and show me your sincerity in wanting to live."
"You old dog, have you lived too long and forgotten the vastness of the world?" Chen Jie said coldly.
"Shut up! Grandpa Liu is powerful! My father's triumphant return was all thanks to Grandpa Liu's care!"
"Grandpa Liu has emerged from his hidden dragon state, how can you possibly offend him! Chen Jie, if I were you, I would immediately kneel and break my own legs, and satisfy all the demands of my Yang family!" Before Liu Lin could speak, Yang Siqing was already extolling him.
"Triumphant return? I see it more like a lamb let out of the cage, coming to its death!"
Chen Jie looked at Liu Lin. "As for this old dog, for daring to lay a hand on my dog, it doesn't matter if he's a hidden dragon or not. Today, I will turn him into a bug that has emerged from its nest!"
*Hiss...*
Lin Shuang and the other Dragon Team members couldn't help but gasp.
Chen Jie was truly infuriating, his mouth too venomous.
Liu Lin was someone even their Dragon Team didn't dare to provoke easily, yet Chen Jie had chosen to directly enrage him.
Even Sheng Guofu's heart sank, and he felt a sense of awe.
Chen Jie, Chen Jie, how can I help you when you act like this?
"Aaaah... you scoundrel, congratulations, you've successfully angered me! I will personally tear you to shreds! Even if Jesus himself came today, he wouldn't be able to save you!"
Liu Lin went mad, like a detonated gunpowder keg.
His aura erupted, and an invisible force struck the people around him, forcing them all back over ten paces.
