Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing was profoundly affected by this; although he was highly capable, at home, faced with his stepmother and the siblings from outside, he still had to compromise. Because he didn’t want to make his father feel sad, he had to make himself compromise!

However, Lin Zhen Nan’s words today were somewhat strange. After all, Ye Qing was not a close friend of his, so why say these things in front of Ye Qing?

”President Lin, what exactly are you trying to say?” Ye Qing asked directly.

”Ye Qing, you are a very outstanding young man. If it weren’t for these misunderstandings, I would have really wanted to keep you at Lin Corporation. With your capabilities, you would certainly make a significant impact in Shenchuan City in the future!” Lin Zhen Nan sighed and said, ”However, the misunderstandings have already occurred.

I believe you are not a bad person, but the people in my family do not think so, they are all full of doubts about you. Honestly, having you stay in Shenchuan City, many people in the Lin family feel uneasy.”

Ye Qing slightly furrowed his brow and said, ”President Lin, are you asking me to leave Shenchuan City?”

”If you don’t have anything too important in Shenchuan City, whether you stay here or not isn’t important, right?” Lin Zhen Nan looked at Ye Qing and said, ”If you’re willing to leave Shenchuan City, I can give you thirty million. No matter which city you go to, you can use this money to do whatever you want.

Shenchuan City is not the most thriving city; with this money, you can actually go to a better place and achieve greater development. This way, I can also give my family an explanation!”

Ye Qing shook his head firmly and said, ”I’m sorry, I came to Shenchuan City to do something very important. Until this matter is done, I will not leave Shenchuan City. Once it’s done, I’ll leave Shenchuan City right away.”

Lin Zhen Nan slightly furrowed his brow and said, ”When will you be able to finish this matter then?”

Ye Qing sighed and said, ”Maybe in two or three days, maybe it will never be finished.”

”Never finished, then won’t you never leave Shenchuan City?” Lin Zhen Nan’s expression turned slightly cold and said, ”Ye Qing, I think we are still friends. I just want to ask you a favor, to leave Shenchuan City and not make my family worry because of you. If you are willing to help me, I can mobilize all the resources of the Lin family to help you finalize it!”

”President Lin, I really respect you as a person. But, this matter, no one can help me!” Ye Qing looked at Lin Zhen Nan and said solemnly, ”Even if the entire Lin family’s power is exhausted, it might not be successful. I can only promise you that from now on, I won’t come near the Lin family or interfere in the slightest with Lin family affairs.

But to ask me to leave Shenchuan City before this matter is resolved, sorry, that’s impossible!”

Lin Zhen Nan looked at Ye Qing’s resolute gaze, was silent for a long while, sighed and said, ”Asking you to leave Shenchuan City is indeed forcing you too much. I can give you some time, but I hope you can keep your promise. During this time in Shenchuan City, do not get close to the people of the Lin family, I don’t want them to panic because of your presence!”

”No problem!” Ye Qing responded straightforwardly.

Lin Zhen Nan nodded and said, ”If you need any help, you can call me.”

Ye Qing shook his head, ”You’ve helped me enough, I don’t want to bother you anymore!”

”This isn’t for you, but for me,” Lin Zhen Nan said, ”Being able to help you finish the matter quicker, allowing you to leave Shenchuan City sooner, then I can also stop worrying about this. Alright, let’s agree on this, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. Remember what I said, if you need help, you can call me.”

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and said, ”President Lin, has Cheng Shuang contacted you?”

Lin Zhen Nan slightly furrowed his brow, was silent for a moment, and said, ”No.”

Ye Qing did not say anything else, he could tell that Lin Zhen Nan was lying to him. Actually, Lin Zhen Nan coming here, urging him to leave Shenchuan City, had already said everything. When Ye Qing told Zhao Cheng Shuang about Boss Lin’s matter, he had anticipated that the Lin family members would certainly not believe him.

But he did not expect that those people would transfer the pressure onto Lin Zhen Nan, making him convince Ye Qing to leave Shenchuan City.

The Lin family members could protect Boss Lin to such an extent, Ye Qing felt there was nothing more to say. Without concrete evidence, the people of the Lin family would only assume he was trying to frame Boss Lin. Regarding the attitude of the Lin family, Ye Qing had grown accustomed, just as he had told Lin Zhen Nan before, he truly did not want to interfere in any Lin family affairs anymore.

Because, he knew very well, no matter what he did, the people of the Lin family would only assume he had ulterior motives!

Right after Lin Zhen Nan returned to the Lin family, Old Lady Lin personally rushed to his room to inquire about Ye Qing’s matter.

Lin Zhen Nan dared not relay Ye Qing’s exact words, so he altered Ye Qing’s message somewhat: ”I’ve already spoken to him. He still has some matters to attend to, but once those are settled, he will immediately leave Shenchuan City.”

”Hmph, our Lin family is deeply rooted in Shenchuan City. Is it really that difficult to drive a person out?” Old Lady Lin was very angry, saying, ”He says he has unfinished business, and you give him time to finish it? Do you know what he is up to? How do you know that the business he’s involved in isn’t against our Lin family?

You still let him stay in Shenchuan City, aren’t you afraid that Hua Yu might have another mishap?”

Lin Zhen Nan helplessly said, ”Mother, Ye Qing, after all, did save our family’s Hua Yu and Yashi. Driving him out of Shenchuan City when we should be grateful is akin to repaying kindness with enmity. He came to Shenchuan City for important business, and it would be unreasonable of us to drive him out before he finishes. If word gets out, wouldn’t others truly see us as ungrateful?”

”What ungrateful people? Didn’t I say it? We just give that Mr. Ye some money as a way of thanking him for saving Hua Yu and Yashi. Moreover, if he’s a good person, what we’re doing is repaying kindness with enmity. But if he’s a bad person, how can we be considered ungrateful?” Old Lady Lin retorted angrily: ”Moreover, I haven’t even settled the score with Tianhao over this matter.

Just driving him out of Shenchuan City is already considering the fact that he had saved Hua Yu and Yashi before. If he doesn’t recognize what’s good for him, then I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I refuse to believe he has no connection to it!”

Lin Zhen Nan was at a loss for words and said, ”Mother, I’ve already made arrangements with him. During his days in Shenchuan City, he isn’t allowed to come anywhere near the Lin family, nor will he have any involvement with the Lin family. Once his business is completed, he will immediately leave Shenchuan City and never return.

If you’re still worried, why don’t I hire more bodyguards to watch the house? Isn’t that enough?”

Old Lady Lin was still somewhat reluctant, but she still gave Lin Zhen Nan some face and said, ”Fine, fine, since you’ve already promised him, I can’t make you break your word. That’s settled then. I’ll give him ten days. If he doesn’t leave Shenchuan City in ten days, whether his business is finished or not, I will have him driven out.

Also, if he makes any moves against our Lin family members during these ten days, I will not let him off!”

”Yes, mother, don’t worry!” Lin Zhen Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”If he dares to do anything to our Lin family again, it won’t just be you, I will absolutely not let him off!”

Old Lady Lin looked at Lin Zhen Nan and said earnestly, ”Zhen Nan, you are the eldest son of the family, and also the leader of this household. Everyone in the house depends on you alone. You must not make mistakes, and you cannot let them down!”

Lin Zhen Nan nodded heavily. As the clan elder brother, he bore many responsibilities and expectations, and he also had to make more sacrifices and compromises. Like this matter, although he trusted Ye Qing, he still had to find a way to make Ye Qing leave Shenchuan City; he needed to ensure his family felt safe.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly arose from downstairs, mixed with voices of anger.

Lin Zhen Nan frowned; this was the Lin family’s home. Who was so bold as to come and cause trouble here?

”Who is it, making such a racket!” Old Lady Lin said indignantly.

Lin Zhen Nan, supporting Old Lady Lin, walked downstairs, just in time to see Zhao Shilin standing below, scolding the Lin family members. A group of Lin’s younger family members were downstairs, scolded into silence, each one wearing an awkward expression.

Seeing the old lady come down, Lin Yaqing hurried forward, supporting Old Lady Lin and complained, ”Mother, look at Uncle Zhao, he is blaming me now for disciplining Cheng Shuang. That boy just now was really rude, and I was right to teach him, wasn’t I?”

Old Lady Lin frowned and strolled downstairs, staring coldly at Zhao Shilin and said sarcastically, ”What now? A child got hit and you bring adults over for revenge? Cheng Shuang isn’t even that young anymore, and here you are, his grandfather, still backing him up every day, the people of Zhao family really never grow up, do they!”

The Lin family members burst into laughter, Lin Yaqing also looked at Zhao Shilin with a mocking expression. Actually, the Lin family members had always had a poor relationship with the Zhao family, and Zhao Shilin rarely visited the Lin family, so the people of the Lin family really didn’t hold much respect for him.

”What are you laughing at!” Lin Zhen Nan turned around angrily and barked.

The Lin family members immediately lowered their heads; Lin Zhen Nan awkwardly looked at Zhao Shilin and said, ”Uncle Zhao, please come inside and sit.”

”No need!” Zhao Shilin waved his hand decisively and said, ”Your Lin family’s gilded nest wouldn’t accommodate me; I’d better stand, lest I dirty your golden nest!”

Old Lady Lin coldly said, ”Hmph, although our Lin family is not some official and noble family, at least the children we raise understand manners. Unlike some people, who raise a bunch of savages, grandsons who either fight or brawl, and even talk back to their elders. So much for noble upbringing!”

”Hey, you actually got that right. My Zhao family’s people are like this, we only talk about reason. What manners, what elders, all of that is nonsense,” Zhao Shilin sneered and said, ”Unlike your Lin family, capable of repaying kindness with enmity.”
