Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Family Head of the Xue Family

Xue Yong picked up the cell phone, pondered for a moment, and finally dialed the number above.

”Hello, may I ask who this is?” A gentle voice came through from the other end.

”Xue Ying, it’s your uncle,” Xue Yong said awkwardly.

”Uncle?” Xue Ying frowned upon hearing the voice.

”Xue Ying, I know I wronged you, but after all, you are also a descendant of the Xue family,” Xue Yong said, his face flushed.

”Hmph, I don’t have an uncle, nor do I have anything to do with the Xue family,” Xue Ying said coldly.

Xue Ying once had a happy family, but it was all ruined because her uncle looked down on her mother for being a woman of the streets, which resulted in her father being sent away to DY. Since then, her father’s personality had drastically changed; he spent his days intoxicated, and her mother died heartbroken and resentful.

Xue Yong gave an awkward smile, ”Xue Ying, I was indeed wrong in the past, but I came to see you today because of Lin Chen.”

”What do you want with Lin Chen?” Xue Ying asked coldly.

Xue Yong said, ”I hope to have a chat with him. I don’t know if you could connect us. It’s about the life-and-death battle Lin Chen will face in two days.”

If it had been anything else, Xue Ying might have hung up quickly, but this matter concerned Lin Chen, so after a moment’s thought, she said, ”Fine, Lin Chen is coming to the company soon anyway. Come over then.”

Xue Ying had just hung up the call when Lin Chen walked in.

”Xue Ying, to prevent the Zhou family from making a desperate move, let’s stay at the villa; it will be safer there,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

The final battle was approaching, and the Zhou family had been constantly making minor moves; in order to prevent them from targeting people close to him, Lin Chen had gathered everyone close to him at Zuo Sisi’s villa.

Protected by Zhao Xiaohua, Tang Bao’er, Black Demon, Jin Long, and several other experts, the villa was virtually impregnable.

After Lin Chen had just sent Qin Lan to the villa, he immediately came to pick up Xue Ying.

Xue Ying gave Lin Chen a small smile, ”Lin Chen, I just got a call from Xue Yong, the Xue family head. He says he wants to meet you.”

At the mention of the Xue family, Lin Chen seemed to recall something and looked at Xue Ying, ”Xue Ying, are you related to the Xue family?”

Xue Ying’s expression changed slightly; she knew some issues concerning the Lin family and naturally understood the blood feud between the Lin and Xue families.

”Lin Chen, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but I have long severed any ties with the Xue family,” Xue Ying said, her face flushed.

”Silly girl, even if you were related, you are you and the Xue family is the Xue family,” Lin Chen said, laughing.

Xue Ying nodded and recounted her story to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, ”Xue Ying, don’t worry. I’ll make sure that the indignities you’ve suffered are avenged tenfold today.”

As they were talking, the secretary’s intercom came through, ”President, the Xue family head, Xue Yong, would like to meet you.”

”Let him come in,” Xue Ying said.

Soon, the secretary led Xue Yong into the office.

Lin Chen and Xue Ying sat on the sofa, each wearing an extremely cold expression.

Xue Yong smiled awkwardly, ”Xue Ying, it’s been so many years. You’ve grown more and more beautiful, truly a young lady now.”

Xue Ying’s gaze was fixed on Xue Yong, ”No need for superfluous words. Since Chairman Lin is here, just speak directly to him.”

Seeing Xue Ying without even addressing him as uncle, Xue Yong felt somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Chen said indifferently, ”Does the Family Head Xue have something he wants from me?”

Xue Yong smiled and said, ”Mr. Lin, my visit this time is to ask you to spare the Xue Family for Xue Ying’s sake.”

”Spare the Xue Family? When your families—Zhou, Li, Xue, and Chen—all banded together and bathed my Lin Family in blood, you think a mere word from you would persuade me to spare the Xue Family? That’s rather too easy.”

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Xue Yong smiled and said, ”Back then, we were coerced by the Zhou Family and had no choice. If you spare the Xue Family, we are willing to stand by your side to confront the Zhou Family together.”

Lin Chen, fixing his gaze tightly on Xue Yong, suddenly laughed, ”The Zhou Family, their downfall is irreversible. Whose side you stand on has no impact whatsoever. I would rather you stand with the Zhou Family, so I can eliminate both your families in one fell swoop.”

Xue Yong’s expression changed slightly, Lin Chen’s words were too arrogant and domineering, especially his intense killing intent, which made his heart tremble.

Even the top noble Zhou family of Hua Xia was not in his sights, let alone the Xue Family, the least of the four major families.

”Then, what exactly would make you spare our Xue Family?” Xue Yong said solemnly.

Lin Chen glanced at Xue Ying and said, ”Xue Ying is my woman. I can give her face, but there’s a condition — Xue Ying must become the Family Head of the Xue Family.”

As the words fell, both Xue Yong and Xue Ying were simultaneously stunned.

Although the Xue Family was the least among the four major families, it was still one of them, with influence throughout the whole of Hua Xia and the Family Head controlling endless resources and connections.

”What did you say?” Xue Yong’s face turned ashen instantly.

”My terms are clear. If Xue Ying is the Family Head, the Xue Family can survive, and I can ensure the Xue Family remains among the great families. Otherwise, the Xue Family will definitely perish alongside the Zhou Family in three days,” Lin Chen said, smilingly watching Xue Yong, each word clear and distinct.

”Lin Chen, you are being unreasonable, it’s impossible,” Xue Yong said, his face growing colder.

He had been in the position of Family Head for more than a decade, wielding the power and wealth; how could he hand it over to someone else so easily?

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”Since you disagree, there’s nothing I can do. The Xue Family can prepare to accompany the Zhou Family in their downfall.”

”In that case, our Xue Family can only fight to the death.” Xue Yong abruptly stood up, storming towards the doorway in anger.

”Family Head Xue, let me remind you, once you walk out this door, the Xue Family will have no more chances, and will inevitably perish in three days,” Lin Chen stated indifferently.

Xue Yong’s raised foot suddenly halted mid-air.

For some reason, he had a feeling that Lin Chen was so confident, he must have something to rely on.

Just then, Xue Yong’s phone beeped with a new message. Glancing at it, his face turned instantly pale.

The message was from a venerable senior figure in the higher echelons of Hua Xia; the old ancestor of the Xue Family had once saved this dignitary’s life on the battlefield. After the elder ancestor of the Xue Family passed away, this senior figure had looked after the Xue Family within the bounds of his authority.

The message had only eight characters: ”The Zhou Family will perish, the Lin Family will rise!”

Seeing this message, Xue Yong’s face suddenly turned ghastly pale, and he withdrew his raised foot back.

Xue Yong finally understood that the confidence on Lin Chen’s face was not feigned, but was indeed backed by substantial confidence.

Turning listlessly back around, Xue Yong looked at the smiling Lin Chen and gave a bitter smile, ”If I pass the position of Family Head to Xue Ying, will you truly spare the Xue Family?”

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”It’s not just about sparing; I can assure that I will take the Xue Family to unprecedented heights.”
