At half past eight in the morning, at the main entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home.
At this time, it was rush hour. The wide road outside the door was filled with endless streams of traffic. It was a busy scene.
However, many cars and pedestrians would involuntarily slow down when they passed by the main entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home. They turned their heads to look at the entrance, pointing and discussing from time to time.
That was because there were more than ten people outside the main entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home. They were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. They were lined up with their backs to the road, kneeling there obediently and not moving at all.
Moreover, two of them were the most miserable. Their legs were still in plaster casts and wrapped in bandages. They were not kneeling, but directly lying on the ground, letting the pedestrians who stopped behind them point and poke at them.
It was no wonder that the pedestrians stopped. Such a scene looked very much like people crying out grievances and blocking the road. It also looked very much like migrant workers asking for their wages. Under the emperor's feet, in the prosperous capital city, it was really very rare.
However, looking at the clothes of these people, they were not migrant workers at all. Moreover, they did not hang up banners to block the road, nor did they cry or make a fuss. They were just kneeling obediently, so it was very curious.
"Sir, stop the car. What's going on?"
Someone passing by in a taxi was curious after seeing this scene. He could not help but ask the driver to stop and asked curiously.
"Hey, don't mention it. I drive by here every day and have seen them for a long time. It's been three or four days, and they've been kneeling here every day."
The driver spoke in a Beijing accent and smiled as he looked at the backs of those kneeling people. It seemed that he had long been used to it.
The driver asked, "Do they have grievances?"
He looked like a good person at first glance.
The driver sneered, "Do you think so? If they really have grievances, why would they kneel here so obediently? They don't even put up a banner? "
"Asking for their wages?"
"Tsk … look over there …"
The driver's eyes were a little disdainful. He turned to look at the nearby roadside and pouted at the more than ten luxury cars parked there.
"Those cars belong to them. Would such people ask for their wages?"
The driver was instantly stunned. "Then why are these people kneeling here? Don't they find it embarrassing?! "
The driver smiled and secretly pointed at the plaque on the door of the Ling family. "Bro, do you know how big this house is?"
The driver kept him in suspense for a while, but he soon smiled proudly and answered his own question, "Let me tell you, it occupies at least twenty mu of land, at least ten thousand square meters!"
"Although this is outside the Fifth Ring Road, there aren't many people in the capital who have such a large mansion!"
"Looking at these people, they must have offended this family. They are kneeling here. Maybe they are apologizing!"
The driver gently patted the busybody's arm and said mysteriously, "Bro, don't look anymore. I'll tell you one thing. These people have been kneeling here for so many days. By right, the major media should have reported about it, right? Guess what? "
The busybody asked, "What happened?"
"Hehe, what's wrong? You can search through all the major news outlets, search through WeChat, Weibo, and flip through all kinds of newspapers. If you can find a photo or an article about this incident, I won't charge you for this trip. It's all for free! "
The busybody was instantly horrified. "So powerful?" he asked, dumbfounded.
"Haha, don't ask anymore. Let's go!"
With that, the driver directly stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
…
Although the driver was just guessing, he had guessed the truth. These people who were kneeling on the ground were of course not because they were wronged, nor were they here to ask for their wages. They had really offended the Ling family.
Because these people were the representatives of the small families who came to the Ling family to cause trouble before the deathmatch!
The two people with plaster casts on their legs and bandages were undoubtedly Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming.
The other ten people, after hearing the news of the Sun and Chen families being annihilated and the Ling family's great victory on the first of September, their intestines turned green with regret. In their hearts, they hated these two people to the core. After a discussion, they directly went to the hospital where these two people were staying and dragged them from their beds to the entrance of the Ling family's residence. They wanted them to kneel here and apologize to the Ling family!
Today was already the fifth day!
With tens of billions of yuan lost and the future of these ten small families, they had no choice but to do this!
However, up until now, they had not seen a single important person from the Ling family. No one came out to deal with them, so they could only continue to kneel here.
"Sigh, I really regret it! If there is a medicine for regret in this world, I will buy it even if I have to go bankrupt! "
The person who spoke was the representative of the Liu family, Liu Jin Long.
"I really got screwed over by these two grandsons. If I don't see anyone from the Ling family today, I will burn down Han Tiexin's house tonight!"
Zhang Qianfu knelt on the ground. He only felt that his legs were completely numb. He looked at Han Tiexin and Zhao Jingming who were kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were about to spit fire!
Hearing what the two of them said, the rest of the people who were kneeling also echoed and sighed. Right now, they wished they could skin the two of them alive and pull out their tendons. Even setting them on fire wouldn't be enough to vent their hatred!
"Hey, look, people from the Ling family have come out!"
"So many people!"
"Aiya, it's true. They're finally out. I can see Second Master!"
"Hurry up and kneel properly! Motherf * cker Han Tiexin, don't just lie there like a corpse. Kneel straight for me! "
…
People from the Ling family indeed came out, and it was a huge group of people.
Ling Lie took the lead. Behind him were Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, Ling Feng, Ling Li, Ling Xiu, Ling Xue, and the other juniors of the Ling Family. Of course, there were also Cao Shanshan, Cui Lao, Qing Niao, Mo Wudao, Ling Yi, Ling Qi, and a dozen other death warriors of the Ling Family.
It turned out that Ling Yue and Cui Lao received the news of Ling Yun's return at almost the same time. They immediately informed everyone in the Ling family, and after a brief discussion, they decided to come out and welcome Ling Yun.
Ling Yun wasn't just the head of the Ling family now. He was also a great hero of the Ling family!
After winning the deathmatch, he went into hiding for four to five days. Not to mention Ling Yue and Cui Lao, Ling Lie and Ling Xiao were actually the most anxious!
After Ling Zhen's matter was revealed, they were the ones who were embarrassed to see Ling Yun. It wasn't the other way around.
Ling Lie and Ling Xiao both understood that Ling Yun went out for four to five days to give them time to calm down and give them a psychological buffer period!
After four to five days, no matter how big the matter was, Ling Lie and Ling Xiao had already accepted it and made their own decisions. Now that they heard that Ling Yun was going home, how could they hide?
Very quickly, a large group of people from the Ling Family arrived at the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home.
"Second Brother, why are these people still kneeling here?"
As soon as Ling Lie came out, he saw the dozen or so people kneeling at the door. He immediately got angry and asked with a gloomy face.
Ling Yue spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "I can't chase them away. Ling Yun isn't coming back, so I don't know how to deal with these people."
Ling Yue had been in control of the Ling Family's finances for many years. Usually, he was the one who dealt with these people. He was also the one who established relationships with them. Now that they were kneeling outside the door, with his personality, he naturally wouldn't dare to chase them away.
"Hmph! A bunch of fence-sitters! "
Ling Lie looked at these people coldly and shouted, "Men!"
Ling Yi and Ling Qi stepped forward at the same time. "Here!"
"Throw these people to the side! Don't be an eyesore in front of me! "
"Yes!"
Ling One and Ling Seven received the order and immediately signaled to the Ling Family's men of sacrifice behind them.
The dozen or so Ling Family death warriors received the order and rushed forward without hesitation. Each of them dragged one person and threw them to the side without any explanation.
Seeing that someone wanted to speak, Ling Yi said coldly, "If you want to live, you better behave yourself!"
Instantly, no one dared to speak.
No one dared to provoke the Ling Family now!
Both the Sun and Chen Families were destroyed by the Ling Family in one night. What could these dozen or so small families do?
"They're here!"
At this moment, Ling Lie, Qing Niao, and Cao Shanshan suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the east side of the road.
There, a seven-seater black luxury commercial vehicle suddenly entered everyone's field of vision. It was heading toward the Ling Family's ancestral home at an unhurried pace.
The person driving was Ling Yun.
"Second Uncle, didn't I tell you that I would go home quietly? Why did you create such a big scene?"
"Eh! Aren't those the people from the small families? They're all kneeling in front of my door?! "
Ling Yun had released his divine sense along the way and had long seen the scene in front of the Ling family's door. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and instantly found it a little funny.
"Do you regret it? Too late! "
However, seeing that Ling Lie and Ling Xiao had come to the door to welcome him, Ling Yun was instantly relieved. He knew that his grandfather and father had the courage to face him after a few days of calming down.
Ling Yun was afraid that Ling Lie and Ling Xiao would continue to avoid him. If that was the case, things would get troublesome.
"Looks like Ling Yong still hasn't come around!"
Ling Yun noticed that only Ling Yong wasn't present. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he sped up.
"Chi!"
The commercial car soon stopped at the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home, and Ling Yun stepped out of the car.
"Grandpa, Father, Second Uncle, Auntie Qingniao, Big Sister … Shanshan … Cui Lao …"
As soon as Ling Yun got out of the car, he greeted everyone at the entrance with a face full of smiles.
He did not mention anything about Ling Zhen, as if he had long forgotten about it.
Because this was not the place to talk, and there was no need to bring it up now.
"Yun 'er, why did you stay outside for so long?"
Ling Xiao looked at his son with a heavy and complicated expression. However, his gaze was filled with endless concern.
"Ahem, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Ling Lie stepped forward and raised his hand to pat Ling Yun's shoulder. However, his hand was only in mid-air before he slowly put it down. His eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was obviously choked up.
Seeing this, the others were afraid that Grandpa Ling would feel awkward. Therefore, they immediately came forward and almost surrounded Ling Yun. They all rushed to greet Ling Yun, instantly diluting the awkward atmosphere.
"What's wrong with these people?"
After greeting everyone with a smile, Ling Yun immediately turned his head and asked the representatives of the small families. (To be continued.)
