"What?! He's the head of the Ling Family?! "
"How … how is that possible? Isn't the head of the Ling Family Ling Zhen? "
"Isn't he too young? He … doesn't look more than twenty years old … isn't that too much of a joke? "
"Ling Yun … this name sounds familiar. Why do I feel like I've heard it before? I think he's from the south. Which city is he from? "
…
In the living room, after Ling Yue announced Ling Yun's identity, there was an uproar. Everyone was flabbergasted.
"Ahem …"
Ling Yue raised his hands and pressed them in the air a few times. "Everyone, please be quiet."
When everyone quietened down, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Anyone from the Ling Family who is over eighteen years old has the right to be the head of the Ling Family. Now that Ling Yun is eighteen years old, he is indeed the head of the Ling Family. "
Ling Yue gave a simple explanation. He officially announced Ling Yun's identity to outsiders for the first time and pushed Ling Yun to the front of the stage.
Since Ling Yun had already come out of seclusion, he must have made all the necessary preparations. Of course, there was no need for him to hide behind the scenes.
In the face of those people's doubts and speculations, Ling Yun was very calm. The corner of his mouth held a hint of a sneer. He crossed his legs and leaned back against the back of the chair. He stretched out one hand and pressed it gently on the smooth and translucent table. His index finger tapped on the table rhythmically.
Ling Yun's gaze was no longer as sharp as lightning. Instead, it was as calm as an ordinary person's. He sized up these people nonchalantly and felt that it was ridiculous.
Ling Yue then said, "Everyone, please rest assured. Now that the head of the Ling Family is here, he will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer."
Ling Yue naturally couldn't explain too much to Ling Yun. These people in front of him weren't qualified enough to understand Ling Yun's background. He only needed to push Ling Yun to the front of the stage.
"Tsk, this is the biggest joke in the world. The Ling Family actually let a child who is still wet behind the ears handle such a big matter. Are you sure you're not joking?"
After recovering from his shock, Han Tiexin once again jumped out and mocked Ling Yun. He did not take Ling Yun seriously at all.
"Yeah, it's too funny. Ling Yun? Was he a member of the Ling family? I've never heard of it before! Is there really no one left in the Ling Family? "
Zhao Jingming followed closely behind and immediately echoed, as if he wanted the world to be in chaos.
After the Sun and Chen Families publicly announced their alliance, they found the two third-rate families, the Han and Zhao Families, and promised them huge benefits to cause trouble for the Ling Family. Moreover, the public opinion of the Sun and Chen Families was one-sided.
However, the Sun and Chen Families were only using them as cannon fodder. They didn't tell them that the Ling Family now had Ling Yun and the Ling Family's true strength.
Ling Yun had successfully rescued Ling Xiao and trampled on the Sun and Chen Families on the fifteenth of July. In the entire capital, there were no more than twelve forces that knew the details of the matter.
How could these third-rate and fourth-rate families know the truth?
Thus, Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming were completely unaware that they were being used as cannon fodder.
Everything was afraid of being provoked. A matter could originally be easily resolved by sitting down and discussing it. However, once someone fanned the flames and maliciously sowed discord, there would definitely be unexpected complications and endless troubles.
Someone said anxiously, "That's right, Second Master, please don't beat around the bush here. Your Ling Family is a big family that dares to go against the Sun and Chen Families. However, we have placed all our assets in your Ling Family. We can't afford to lose …"
Someone cupped his fists towards Ling Yue. "Second Master!"
"Please be magnanimous and stop our cooperation first. Even if we have to wait until after the battle to the death with the Sun and Chen Families, we can still cooperate again."
…
The other ten people had no idea what was going on. They were originally extremely anxious and worried that their investments in the Ling Family would be lost. Now that they were being provoked by these two people with ulterior motives, they naturally exploded.
In an instant, the living room was once again in an uproar. Everyone was discussing fervently, and the focus was on Ling Yue. They didn't even look at Ling Yun, who was sitting in the main seat.
"So noisy!"
Ling Yun's face suddenly darkened. Then, he grinned, revealing his red lips and white teeth. His gaze swept across Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming.
"Don't the two of you think that you have spoken a little too much?"
After asking the two of them, Ling Yun turned to Cui Lao and said, "Cui Lao, slap him for me."
As for whose mouth to slap? Was there a need to ask?
"Yes, Master!"
Cui Lao was already impatient. After receiving Ling Yun's order, he directly took big steps forward and arrived in front of Han Tiexin. His rough hand reached out and grabbed Han Tiexin's collar.
Then, he raised his other hand high and swung it in a circle!
"Pa! Pa! Pa! … "
Pitter-patter, it was eight slaps. The sound of the slaps was so loud that the entire Ling Family's ancestral home could hear it!
After Cui Lao was done slapping Han Tiexin, he immediately came to Zhao Jingming's side. Without any explanation, he gave him another eight slaps!
…
…
Silence! Complete silence. The entire living room was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard!
He really slapped them!
Slapping them just because of a disagreement?
At this moment, the other ten people were all stunned. This time, they were really scared out of their wits!
Looking at Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming, both of them were in a daze. Their eyes were seeing stars, and their mouths were bleeding. Their brains were in a mess, and their faces were covered in layers of finger marks. Very quickly, their faces swelled up, and they looked like pig heads!
"Ow …"
"Ow …"
Ten seconds after Cui Lao slapped them, the two of them seemed to have just recovered from the shock and fear. Feeling the pain, they screamed like pigs being slaughtered.
Ling Yun still had a smile on his face, and his eyes were calm. He said softly, "Still screaming? Scream again and slap again! "
Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming's hearts were filled with indescribable fear. What kind of person was this? He actually didn't care about the rules at all!
Halfway through their screams, they heard Ling Yun's words and shut their mouths without hesitation, forcefully swallowing the second half of their screams back into their stomachs.
They wouldn't scream anymore. They definitely wouldn't dare to scream anymore. They knew that if they dared to scream again, they would definitely be beaten again.
Look, Big Brother Yun's way of solving problems is just that simple.
Ling Yun chuckled.
He raised his hand and pointed at the two pig heads. "Let me tell you, before I settle this, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll remove your lower jaws!"
At this moment, the entire living room became silent. No one dared to speak anymore. They turned their heads mechanically toward Ling Yun, looking at that unbelievably handsome yet terrifying youth.
Now, no one dared to look down on Ling Yun anymore.
Ling Yue smiled as he watched all of this without saying a word. He thought to himself, Humans, evil people will be tortured by evil people. Where did your ability to torment me go?
This slap in the face is really liberating!
After Ling Yun finished speaking, his gaze swept across the room again to see if anyone dared to jump out. As a result, those people who were swept by his gaze immediately lowered their heads in fear. They didn't dare to look at him at all.
"Pa!"
Another loud sound broke the silence.
Ling Yun suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table!
The crowd, who were already frightened out of their wits, could no longer sit still. When they heard the loud noise, all of them shivered and almost jumped out of their chairs.
Then, they noticed that there was actually an additional book under Ling Yun's hand.
Ling Yun took out a checkbook and held it in his hand. He grinned and said, "As for me, I don't like to talk too much. If there's a problem, we'll solve it."
He swept his gaze across the crowd and said lightly, "You came to my Ling Family in such a hurry because you want to terminate your cooperation with us, right?"
Everyone fell silent and didn't dare to reply. They were afraid that if they said anything wrong, they would follow in the footsteps of the two pig heads.
Seeing this, Ling Yun was speechless. He thought to himself that he was too shocked just now and didn't dare to speak.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Now that I'm going to solve your problem, why aren't you saying anything? Yes or no? Speak! "
Ling Yun shouted again, but it was like the roar of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears!
The ten of them were like little chicks pecking at rice, nodding their heads frequently. The cold sweat on their backs had long soaked through their clothes.
"Very good!"
Ling Yun smiled coldly and nodded. He asked again, "Then you must already know that three days later, our Ling Family will have a battle to the death with the Chen Family?"
Everyone nodded again.
"Are you so sure that our Ling Family will definitely lose? Let me tell you in advance, if you stand on the wrong side this time and our Ling Family accidentally wins, you won't have a chance to cooperate with us in the future. "
When Ling Yun said this, no one nodded and no one made a sound.
However, most of them had their heads lowered. Their eyes were filled with disdain, and their lips were slightly trembling. It was obvious that they did not believe Ling Yun's claim that the Ling Family would win.
To these people, the Ling Family was the weakest of the Eight Big Families. In the past, they couldn't even carry shoes for either of the two big families. Now that the Sun and Chen Families had formed an alliance to deal with the Ling Family, did the Ling Family still have a chance of winning?
Unless the sun rose from the west!
If they really believed that the Ling Family would win this battle, they wouldn't be sitting here right now.
Ling Yun saw all of their expressions. He didn't mind it. He knew that no matter what he said, these people would still be determined to cut ties with the Ling Family.
Ling Yun smiled. "Let me give you a piece of advice. Every time something big happens, think carefully. Don't be used by those with ulterior motives … In the end, you'll be the one to suffer."
As for what he wanted these people to think, Ling Yun didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Ling Yue, "Second Uncle, can I trouble you to get someone to bring the account book over to settle with them?"
Ling Yue smiled. "There's no need for any account book. Those accounts are all in Second Uncle's head."
Ling Yun nodded and opened the cheque book on the table. (To be continued.)
