"Hmph, what are a few yuan?"
"Our Wu family has now established a connection with the Liu family, the foremost aristocratic family in Zhejiang Province. We'll make a fortune from now on, why worry about money?"
Hearing Luo Bin's words, Luo Wei responded with disdain.
This Lin Chen dared to humiliate him in front of so many people. If it weren't for considerations of reputation, he would have had Hei Hu and his cronies kill him on the spot!
But breaking his hands would surely be more painful than killing him, wouldn't it?
"Yes, yes, cousin is brilliant!"
After receiving Luo Wei's affirmation, Luo Bin became even more excited.
He had already decided that by next month, Lin Chen would likely be discharged from the hospital. At that time, he would organize another class reunion and specifically bring Lin Chen to the event!
Then, he could properly humiliate the guy!
"Eh? Hei Hu is here?"
However, just as Luo Bin was fantasizing about how to humiliate Lin Chen, the restaurant doors were pushed open, and Hei Hu walked in with a dejected expression.
"How is it, Hei Hu? Where are Lin Chen's hands?"
Seeing Hei Hu enter, Luo Wei, completely oblivious to anything being amiss, walked up to greet him.
Yet, after taking only a couple of steps, he noticed that following Hei Hu were several police officers!
"Officers, it was him, he's the one who paid me to break Lin Chen's hands and to send that doctor, Xie Yun, to his private villa in the suburbs."
Upon seeing Luo Wei, Hei Hu immediately turned back to face the officers.
He had already burned his bridges, having completely offended Luo Wei. It was better to perform well now, perhaps even get a reduced sentence.
Besides, he hadn't actually harmed Lin Chen or the others on the road just now.
If he performed well now, maybe he wouldn't have to go to jail at all!
"Luo Wei, is it? You are suspected of hiring someone to commit assault and indecent assault. Please come with us!"
Two officers stepped forward and, without any further ado, cuffed Luo Wei.
This scene completely shocked the people around them.
Especially Luo Bin, whose jaw dropped in disbelief.
Good heavens, what on earth was happening?
They had collaborated with Hei Hu countless times before, resolving many troubles, big and small, and had never run into any issues!
But now, this Hei Hu had turnedcoat and directly implicated his own cousin!
Luo Wei was taken away, right in front of Luo Bin.
Before leaving, he glared ferociously at Hei Hu, wondering why this henchman had betrayed him!
Soon, the news of the Luo family's eldest young master, Luo Wei, being arrested for hiring assassins spread throughout Hangcheng.
Meanwhile, the instigator of this whole affair, after escorting Xie Yun home, returned to Shanshui Jiayuan.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the villa district, he saw that the entire villa was brightly lit, and several cars were parked in front of the gate. The license plates looked quite familiar.
Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't have time to think. He quickly got out of the car and rushed in.
Indeed, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, tears welling up in her eyes.
Around her, two middle-aged women, in their late forties and early fifties, were acting imperiously, pointing at his mother and lecturing her.
"Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang, how can you be so shameless? Your son just got out of jail and brought you to live in a villa like this. Do you really think it's clean?"
"Exactly, your son must have gone down the wrong path again, which is why he made so much money."
"Now you refuse to lend us some money. Do we even have a relative like you in the Zhang family?"
The two middle-aged women pointed at his mother, their faces filled with contempt.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't suppress his anger and charged forward.
These two middle-aged women were none other than his two maternal aunts!
And the three men standing beside them were his eldest and second maternal uncles, while the old man was his own maternal grandfather!
However, the three men, who should have been doting on his mother, were now looking at her coldly, as if she were some disgusting piece of trash.
"Oh? You little bastard, you still know how to come back?"
Seeing Lin Chen return, everyone in the room stood up.
"Who let you in? Get out!"
Seeing these former relatives show up at his door, Lin Chen's anger flared even more.
Back when his mother went to college and got pregnant unexpectedly, his grandfather had insisted that his mother get an abortion so she could marry a local contractor.
Ultimately, his mother refused to yield. When she was five months pregnant, she was driven out of the house by her grandfather and her two maternal uncles.
If it hadn't been for the neighbors back then, his mother and he would have frozen to death on the street!
Therefore, in Lin Chen's heart, he had no family other than his mother!
He never expected that, even now, these detestable people would actively come looking for trouble!
"Hmph, Lin Chen, how are you talking to your elders? Did your mother not teach you any manners?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, his eldest maternal uncle, Zhang Leshan, walked up to him and swung a slap.
But how could Lin Chen, who was no longer easily bullied, allow this? He reached out and grabbed Zhang Leshan's arm.
"Boom!"
With a single flick of his hand, Zhang Leshan was sent flying backward.
Because his mother was present, Lin Chen deliberately held back. Otherwise, given his nature, he would have directly broken his arm!
"You scoundrel! How dare you lay a hand on your eldest uncle? Are you tired of living?"
"Just as we suspected, you little brat must be causing trouble outside with your fighting skills, bringing shame upon the Zhang family's name."
"Zhang Fang, take a good look at this. This is the good son you've raised!"
Seeing Zhang Leshan being hit, his second maternal uncle, Zhang Leguang, became furious.
However, he knew Lin Chen was fierce and difficult to deal with, so he could only shift his gaze to Zhang Fang.
"Lin Chen, no rudeness."
Zhang Fang wiped her tears and said to Lin Chen.
But she also noticed that since her son entered the house, her family's attitude towards her had softened considerably.
When Lin Chen wasn't around earlier, these people had been so sharp-tongued and abusive, almost as if they were hanging her up and scolding her!
"Alright, the two of you too. You know what kind of person Lin Chen is, why bother with him?"
Finally, it was his maternal grandfather, Zhang Jianguo, who stood up and stopped the quarrel in the room.
Being old and experienced, he knew that if they continued to make a fuss today, they would definitely suffer losses!
