"By the way, how is the settlement going with Jiang Chongfeng's parents?"
Lin Dingyuan asked suddenly.
Lin Feng was about to resign when he heard this and turned around and replied, "It has been arranged in the small courtyard behind the medicine shop in the north of the city, with Lao Zhao and Mr. Sun guarding it closely. In addition, I have assigned four reliable men to take turns to watch the night, and both open and hidden sentries have been set up."
Lin Dingyuan nodded slightly,
"Does his parents know that Jiang Zongfeng has won the first place in the martial arts competition?"
"Don't know yet."
Lin Feng shook his head. "The situation was urgent last night. Old Zhao and Chief Sun were only focused on taking people to the city. They had no time to talk about this. After settling in the small courtyard, Junior Brother Jiang and his father had the courage to ask a few questions, but Old Zhao did not dare to talk casually. After comforting them, he did not dare to say anything else."
Lin Dingyuan pondered for a moment, stood up from the chair, and took two steps with his hands behind his hands.
"Feng'er, my father's eyes have been watching for most of his life, but in the end, he is not as accurate as you."
Lin Feng was startled. "Dad, where did you start with these words?"
Lin Dingyuan sighed, "When you recommended Jiang Zongfeng to join my Lin Lineage, my father was not very optimistic about it."
He said with emotion, "A low-level martial arts disciple with little cultivation and no background. I thought at that time that maybe you were young and energetic and thought about your fellow disciples, so I just let you do whatever you want."
"But now who would have thought that a poor boy who was most looked down upon by his father at the beginning could now have such a promising future?"
Lin Feng opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but Lin Dingyuan raised his hand to stop him.
"You don't need to say more. It's true that dad has no foresight this time."
He walked back to the case and sat down again, sighing, "For more than a year, you have been working hard for the business, and your father has seen it. When this crisis is over, you should also learn how to be the head of a family."
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, how could he not understand the meaning behind his words: "Dad, why are you talking about this? My child is still young and wants to have a few more years of leisure."
Lin Dingyuan felt helpless and scolded with a smile, "You brat, I didn't let you take over my father's position right away. Why are you anxious?"
After scolding him, he suddenly changed the topic. "Speaking of which, the incident involving Jiang Chongfeng's family was caused by me, Lin Lineage. Feng'er, you will tell Jiang Chongfeng later about the Blood Wolf Gang. After I, Lin Lineage, resolve the mineral vein, I will definitely help him seek justice."
Lin Lineage Feng hesitated when he heard the words and hesitated. "Dad, there is something... my son didn't have time to tell you just now."
Lin Dingyuan frowned slightly. "What's the matter?"
"Junior brother Jiang..."
Lin Feng considered his words and said carefully, "Junior Brother Jiang has gone to the Blood Wolf Gang's main hall alone after learning about Yellow Earth Town. It has been more than an hour now."
The study suddenly became quiet.
Lin Dingyuan stared at Lin Feng's face for a few seconds, as if to confirm whether he was joking.
"He went alone?"
Lin Dingyuan's voice became a little deeper.
There was a trace of blame on his face. "You let him go to the Blood Wolf Gang's main hall alone?"
"Dad, with Junior Brother Jiang's current strength, he should be fine..." Lin Feng explained quickly.
"Nonsense!"
Lin Dingyuan interrupted him directly,
"Do you know where the main hall of the Blood Wolf Gang is? Ding Wanshan is not in vain, and the Blood Wolf Gang should not be underestimated either. There are at least seven or eight good players in the middle and late stages of An Jin in the gang. Together with the secret whistles on the outside, His background is not much weaker than our Lin Lineage. Even if Jiang Zongfeng takes the first place in the martial arts association, he is still just a An Jin warrior. If he breaks in alone, what is the difference between this and committing suicide?"
Lin Feng lowered his head and did not refute.
"No."
Lin Dingyuan stood in front of the window with an anxious expression. "Take someone to take a look right away..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the study door.
A Lin Lineage guard stumbled in without even having time to knock on the door, sweating profusely.
"Master! Something big happened!"
Lin Dingyuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking? Just say it."
The guard swallowed his saliva and gasped. "Our people sent news that the Blood Wolf Gang's headquarters... was just taken away!"
There was a moment of dead silence in the study.
Lin Dingyuan froze on the spot.
Lin Feng was also stunned,
"What did you say?" Lin Dingyuan's voice almost shouted, "The main hall of the Blood Wolf Gang has been detained?"
Seeing this, the guard nodded and said in a trembling voice, "Our eyeliner near the entrance of the Blood Wolf Gang has been keeping an eye on the movements inside tonight. Everything was normal at first, but about half an hour ago, we heard several screams coming from the direction of the entrance of the Blood Wolf Gang. It seemed like someone was handing over inside. Our people didn't dare to go in rashly, so they hid at the entrance of the alley and waited."
The guard swallowed his saliva and continued, "After waiting for about half an hour, I suddenly saw a black shadow coming out of the wall of the Blood Wolf Gang's main hall. It was very fast and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. Only after the man left did our people dare to go in and take a look..."
The guard's voice suddenly dropped, as if even he himself couldn't believe what he was going to say next.
"Ding Wanshan is dead, as is Chai Wenyuan, the leader of the second gang. More than thirty dead people are lying in the hall, none of them can breathe. The entire Blood Wolf Gang main hall is dead."
Lin Dingyuan slowly leaned back in his chair, his usually calm face now full of shock.
More than thirty people.
Ding Wanshan, a veteran master who has been at the peak of An Jin for more than ten years, his iron arm skills are well known in the underground world of Qingshan County.
Chai Wenyuan, Late Dark Force, is also not weak in strength.
In addition, there are dozens of elite helpers in the hall, among whom there are at least seven or eight masters with An Jin cultivation level.
Such an underground force that had been entrenched in Qingshan County for more than ten years was uprooted in just half an hour, leaving not even a single person alive.
"Is it Junior Brother Jiang?"
Lin Feng looked in disbelief.
Lin Dingyuan was silent for a long time before slowly exhaling.
"Who else but him?"
I just found out about Yellow Earth Town tonight, so I went to the Blood Wolf Gang's main hall alone.
Then the Blood Wolf Gang disappeared.
"Ding Wanshan is the pinnacle of An Jin, his iron arm skill is Major Accomplishment, Chai Wenyuan is Late Dark Force..." Lin Dingyuan murmured, with a hint of complex emotions that even he couldn't explain in his tone, "More than thirty people, seven or eight An Jin masters, are all gone."
Lin Feng also recovered from the shock, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "Dad, Junior Brother Jiang... seems to be much stronger than we thought."
Lin Dingyuan did not answer the call.
He stood up, walked to the window, and opened half of the window.
The night wind rushed in, blowing on his face with a coolness, but it could not dissipate his turbulent emotions at the moment.
The Blood Wolf Gang has been entrenched in Qingshan County for seventeen years. Lin Lineage has been dealing with underground forces such as Black Tiger Gang, the Broadsword Gang, and the Blood Wolf Gang for more than ten years, overtly and covertly, and is well aware of Ding Wanshan's difficulty.
This person is ruthless and cunning, and there are many secret whistles in the hall. Ordinary top An Jin masters may not dare to break in alone.
But half an hour after Jiang Fa entered, he killed the entire hall.
"Feng'er." Lin Dingyuan finally spoke.
"Dad."
"Go, fetch the century-old wild ginseng from the warehouse, wrap it in the cloud brocade satin sent from Fucheng last month, and bring the pair of Hetian jade bracelets with you."
Lin Feng was stunned. "Dad, what are you..."
"I want to visit Jiang's family in person." Lin Dingyuan said solemnly.
He paused and then added, "Prepare another two thousand taels of silver notes and wrap them in red envelopes."
"Yes!" Lin Feng simply responded.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Dingyuan thought of something and said again, "Go and get the deed of the house in the east of the city."
Lin Feng paused in his steps and looked back at his father. "Dad, you mean... the yard in the alley next to the martial arts school?"
"That's it." Lin Dingyuan nodded. "I originally bought it with the intention of giving you a temporary place to practice martial arts, but now it's just suitable for settling down Jiang's family."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.
