Chapter 708: Chapter 0708: Ku Mu Makes a Move Against Ye Xunhuan
Night fell, and the neon lights on both sides of the street lit up almost simultaneously, as if like courtesans swaying in the mortal world, throwing flirtatious glances at the passersby, seducing the pedestrians in the flashy metropolis!
The Lin family’s old mansion in the capital!
A grandma with a panicked face hurried towards the Lin family’s backyard.
Upon seeing Lin Zhennan seated under the grape trellis in the courtyard, the grandma quickly approached him.
"Grandma, what’s happened to make you so flustered?" Lin Zhennan asked, his eyes half-closed as if he was resting.
"Master, Wenyuan has shaken off the people surveilling him, and now he might have already gone to Jiangzhong City," the grandma said in great agitation.
Lin Zhennan had been composed, but his eyes snapped open upon hearing this, and he sat up abruptly from the lounge chair, "Why did he shake off the people monitoring him?"
"Master, we were careless this time. We thought that Wenyuan was merely anxious and troubled. Wenyuan went to Hongzhuang Club, disguised himself as a woman there, and escaped!"
Lin Qingyun was to be executed today; now that Lin Wenyuan had run off, he would surely go to Jiangzhong City. And damn it, it was definitely not to collect Lin Qingyun’s body, but to seek revenge!
But could Lin Wenyuan really stir up any trouble in Jiangzhong City?
"The scoundrel!" Lin Zhennan trembled with rage, "How long has it been?"
"Over an hour now..."
"Get me my phone!"
The grandma knew that Lin Zhennan wanted to call Lin Zhenbei, to have him intercept Lin Wenyuan in Jiangzhong City, for otherwise Wenyuan would surely do something foolish.
So, without asking anything, the grandma turned around, went inside the house, brought out the mobile phone, and handed it to Lin Zhennan!
Upon receiving the phone, Lin Zhennan didn’t hesitate or show any sign of doubt, and swiftly dialed Lin Zhenbei’s mobile number!
He had already lost a grandson and had gone through the heartbreak of the elder burying the young; he did not want to send off his son as well.
The call was connected in an instant.
"Brother..."
"Zhenbei, Wenyuan has gone to Jiangzhong City. I’m worried he’ll do something foolish. You have to intercept this scoundrel for me!" Lin Zhennan got straight to the point.
At this moment, Lin Zhennan was still unaware of the state his grandson Lin Zhetian was in; otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been concerned about his son’s life or death.
Lin Zhetian was the Lin family’s future hope.
Let alone the life or death of Wenyuan and Qingyun, not even the loss of two more would compare to the importance of a single Lin Zhetian!
Lin Zhennan and the entire Lin family had pinned all their hopes on Lin Zhetian.
A mishap with Lin Zhetian would be a massive blow to the Lin family.
"Brother, I’m afraid I’m willing but unable..." Lin Zhenbei’s voice was filled with unprecedented bitterness.
Upon hearing Lin Zhenbei’s bitter voice, Lin Zhennan’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly rose within him!
"What happened?"
"Brother, your information is wrong; we all underestimated Ye Xunhuan!" Lin Zhenbei’s voice was somber, "Today, I took Zhetian to send Qingyun off on his final journey, and who would have thought we’d encounter Ye Xunhuan..."
Then, Lin Zhenbei did not hide anything and recounted the whole sequence of events.
After hearing Lin Zhenbei’s account, Lin Zhennan’s old face immediately darkened as if the clear sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, the ominous sign of an impending storm. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"You sneaky bastard, you’ve hidden yourself well!" Lin Zhennan said through clenched teeth, "Qin Pojun, your daughter has borne you a fine grandson!"
Lin Zhennan took a deep breath and asked, "How is Zhetian now?"
"His internal organs are all injured, bleeding in many places; the injuries are very severe!"
"You have no way to help him?"
"No!" Lin Zhenbei said helplessly, "If I hadn’t been at Shu Mountain all this time tempering Zhetian’s bones and flesh, he might already be dead!"
"So now..."
"My elder brother Ku Mu has already arrived. He’s treating Zhetian now. Once there’s news, I will inform you!"
"Good!"
Lin Zhennan didn’t say anything more to Lin Zhenbei and completely dismissed Lin Wenyuan’s life and death from his mind.
Just after Lin Zhennan had hung up the phone, the granny beside him couldn’t help but ask, "Master, what’s wrong?"
The granny was beside Lin Zhennan while he was on the phone, and she had heard the conversation between the two, but not in great detail.
"Zhetian has been severely injured by Ye Xunhuan. Zhenbei doesn’t have any means to deal with him!"
"What?" The granny’s face suddenly changed, disbelief written all over it: "How is that possible? Young Master Zhetian is a high-level expert of the Innate Realm. How could he have been seriously injured by someone?"
As she spoke, the granny seemed to think of something and a look of horror slowly appeared on her face: "Could it be that this Ye Xunhuan possesses the power of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm? Even Zhenbei is helpless against him?"
The words were scarcely out of her mouth when the granny’s aging, hunched body started to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Xunhuan was only in his twenties, yet he already possessed the Innate Realm, perhaps even the Great Perfection.
Lin Zhetian had reached the Innate Realm at twenty-four, already hailed as a genius. If the ancient martial artists from the outside world learned that Ye Xunhuan could severely injure an expert of the Innate Realm, what kind of impact would it have?
Moreover, if Ye Xunhuan truly possessed such formidable strength, then he must be the apple of Qin Pojun’s eye. Should anyone make a move on Ye Xunhuan, Qin Pojun would dare to risk his life and seek mutual destruction with the perpetrator!
Lin Zhennan exhaled a heavy breath and said, "I don’t know. Granny, go and check on this Ye Xunhuan. With such strong abilities, there should be records of him in the National Security Bureau. If there’re none there, find a way to reach out to Hidden Dragon. I refuse to believe that there won’t be a single clue or any useful information to be found!"
The granny knew the gravity of the situation. Without any hesitation, she nodded and replied, "Rest assured, master, I know what to do."
With that, the granny turned and left the room.
After the granny had left, Lin Zhennan exhaled deeply once again, his face grim as he said, "Qin Pojun, no wonder you’re so calm. So you had your plans all along!"
Meanwhile, in the Pei family home in Jiangzhong City, after diagnosing Lin Zhetian, Ku Mu’s face was overtaken by an unprecedented seriousness.
"Elder brother, how is it?" Lin Zhenbei immediately asked with anxiety.
Ku Mu did not speak right away, but took a deep breath and then said slowly, "I have now stabilized Zhetian’s condition, but I can’t eradicate the root cause. The assailant was too cruel in his methods!"
"To fully eradicate it, it’d likely require the Grand Elder to personally intervene!"
"Brother, then..."
"The Grand Elder has always had high hopes for Zhetian and will definitely not ignore this situation!" Ku Mu said solemnly, "However, before that, I shall meet this Ye Xunhuan. To strike with such viciousness, showing no mercy at all, he cannot be left alive!"
As he spoke, a thick murderous intent appeared on Ku Mu’s face!
