Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1184: One Eye

Lu Xiaobu and the others didn’t linger much on their journey. Under the protection of a Dubai warship, they were returning to the Heavenly Dynasty.

The ship moved slowly and had to consider the territorial waters of other countries, so it went around some areas.

Thus, after traveling at sea for more than a week, they finally rendezvoused with the fleet from the Heavenly Dynasty for a transfer.

Given the importance of Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng, and the fact that their ship’s cargo might indeed attract some desperate pirates, they requested a navy escort.

In this manner, nearly under constant protection, it took two weeks for them to set foot on their homeland again.

Back home, the outcome was clear, and the sense of distance between the two of them had significantly increased.

Li Jin and that fool of a bodyguard were almost constantly on guard.

Vigilant against any potential attacks from the other side!

”Young Master!” Liang Lan’s voice carried over from afar.

”Young Master!” Zhang Meng’s deep, gruff voice also echoed over.

Lu Xiaobu smiled: ”They came so quickly.”

Soon, a large crowd gathered around Lu Xiaobu.

Liang Lan, Su Luoxue, Little Pepper, Wu Qianmin, Black Rose, Zhang Meng, Li Jin, the seven Calabash Brothers, and even some employees who came over after some persuasion.

In an instant, Lu Xiaobu’s place was livelier than some celebrity arrivals at the airport.

However, similarly, when Lin Feng disembarked, he headed straight for his car.

It’s not that no one came to meet him; that convoy represented luxury and a large welcoming crowd.

But everyone could see clearly that Lin Feng was missing something significant.

And not far away, someone was quietly watching this scene, that person being Ye Changsheng.

The paths of the two were entirely different now.

Lu Xiaobu was on the path of a king, while Lin Feng was on the path of a tyrant.

A tyrant rules the world with power, arrogant and domineering, treating everything like fodder, to command at will.

A king rules with benevolence and righteousness, with a kind heart and deep virtue, appreciated by all, willingly serving him.

Someone might say, what is Lu Xiaobu without those extraordinary abilities? Nothing!

Yes, what you said is true.

But have you thought about it the other way around?

If Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu both started from the bottom, painstakingly struggling every day for a meager profit...

Then who is Lin Feng?

Moreover, if Lu Xiaobu did not exist, Lin Feng’s success would have been limited.

Simply put, if there was no early cooperation between Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng to help Lin Feng seize power, would Lin Feng have achieved this level in the Lin Family now?!

Forcing his second uncle, the most cunning strategist of the previous generation in the Lin Family, to such a point?!

The inherent difference between a tyrant and a king is that a king is mandated by destiny, while a tyrant ”falsely appropriates benevolence with power”!

One has destiny, the other has power!

Why complicate things with hypotheticals, saying one is better than the other?

Ye Changsheng thought about this and chuckled: ”Why should I care so much? It’s just the foolishness of the irrelevant!”

He was called over by Liang Lan, saying it was to guard against Lin Feng suddenly acting like an assassin, albeit unlikely, but still not to be neglected.

However, it seems Lin Feng had no such intentions.

...

Leaving Lu Xiaobu aside for now, let’s talk about Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sat in the car, eyes slightly closed, and asked blandly: ”What’s the family’s reaction?”

”The family has a lot of grumbles about the second master, saying he only focuses on internal strife, forgetting external enemies, underestimating them, and letting the 4G technology fall into Lu Xiaobu’s hands,” Housekeeper Jia said while driving.

”Can your eye recover?” Lin Feng asked again.

”Thanks for your concern, Young Master Lin, but it seems unlikely,” Housekeeper Jia replied.

Through the front mirror of the car, one could see Housekeeper Jia, usually with a rugged face, wearing a black eye patch on his left eye.

Though his appearance was neat, there were quite a few scars on the arms that showed unintentionally.

Apparently, the defeated Lin Tianshen vented all his anger on Housekeeper Jia in rage.

”You wait a bit longer, Lin Tianshen is still useful, and in some time, I’ll give you Lin Tianshen’s two eyes,” Lin Feng said, leaning back in his chair.

Before, he would address Lin Tianshen respectfully as Second Uncle, to avoid being caught.

Now, there was no need for that!

”Thank you, Young Master Lin.” Housekeeper Jia nodded, continued driving, and the car sank into silence.

The silent atmosphere seemed to carry a different meaning, yet it couldn’t be explained in words.

...

Lin Feng sat in the car all the way back to the Lin Family.

Before he even reached the main gate, everyone who saw Lin Feng’s car bowed ninety degrees.

As Lin Feng got out of the car, there was an instant chorus: ”Welcome home, Young Master Lin!”

Lin Feng strode into the Lin Family, ignoring the people on either side.

Suddenly.

Halfway, he stopped, turned his head to look at a person with their head lowered, legs shivering nonstop.

”Hello, Young Master Lin!” the person trembled and replied.

”You’re Xiao Wu, aren’t you?” Lin Feng asked mildly.

”Yes...” Xiao Wu’s tongue tied up.

He was the Xiao Wu who followed Lin Tianshen before.

”Someone, drag him out and bury him,” Lin Feng waved his hand and continued walking.

”Yes!”

The men in black beside immediately took the order!

”Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, spare me! Second Master! Second Master! Save me!” Xiao Wu’s cries for mercy quickly got cut, as he was knocked out and dragged out like a dead dog.

Lin Feng walked through, entered the front yard, gazed towards the west, a cold smile curved on his lips—Testing me?! Go ahead and try!

How could Xiao Wu, as someone with Lin Tianshen, possibly appear at the entrance to greet him for no reason?

Laughable!

Then, he waved a big hand: ”Inform everyone, call a family meeting, discuss the removal of Lin Tianshen from all positions!”

Instantly, the whole Lin Family was shaken.

Lin Feng just returned, and he’s calling a family meeting?!

Moreover, he directly revealed his intent, to remove Lin Tianshen?!

Calling him by name?!

This was unrestrained!

Today, the Lin Family wouldn’t find peace!

Lin Feng’s father, the current Family Head of the Lin Family, heard the news and smiled: ”My son, are you truly ready? This family meeting, I won’t be siding with you.”

As Family Head, he had to remain fair and just outwardly, though his heart might lean. This was the reason he nearly remained silent when Lin Tianshen eradicated Lin Feng’s strength.

After all, the Lin Family didn’t only belong to their branch but to everyone!

At least, that was the outward appearance!
