Chapter 49: Your Turn

"It's your turn now." Yang Chen stood face to face with Lin Kun, his gaze as cold as a butcher eyeing meat on a chopping block. He calmly asked, "Do you want your legs broken or your hands? If you want to die, I can help with that too."

He wasn't joking!

Lin Kun immediately grasped the seriousness of the situation. For the first time, he saw pure murderous intent in someone's eyes, utterly undisguised! This guy would actually kill him!

"You...you...don't come any closer..." Lin Kun felt fear creeping in. He slowly retreated, wanting to put some distance between himself and Yang Chen, but there were steps behind him, and the villa gate.

Suddenly, Lin Kun turned his head and saw Lin Ruoxi standing indifferently at the door. He yelled loudly, "You little bitch! This wild man wants to break your father's legs! Aren't you going to do something?!"

Before he could finish, Lin Kun felt a grip like a pair of steel pliers on his chin, and a voice as cold as metal frozen in ice sounded in his ear, "Your mouth really stinks. Maybe I should cut out your tongue, put it in your mouth, and then sew it shut... How's that for a solution?"

"Wu! Wuwu!"

Lin Kun's face turned ashen with fear, his eyes bulging. But every time he struggled even slightly, Yang Chen would exert extra force on his chin, causing him unbearable pain.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing at the door, slowly lifted her head. Her beautiful eyes, which had been vacant, finally gained some luster. She looked at Yang Chen with incomparable complexity, then glanced at Lin Kun, who was almost scared out of his wits, and said weakly, "Yang Chen, let him go, stop scaring him..."

Lin Ruoxi's tone was not as cold and indifferent as usual. She spoke in a light tone, but this one sentence weakened Yang Chen's raging anger that was burning in his heart, making it difficult to resist.

She was too much like that person... Yang Chen felt helpless, a fleeting image of the figure that had been deliberately forgotten flashed through his mind, causing him to momentarily lose focus.

Yang Chen released his grip. Lin Kun, who was in pain and fear, immediately dodged to the side, watching Yang Chen cautiously, gasping for air.

"Dad, it was Xu Zhihong who sent you here, right? And these people, they must be provided by him too." Lin Ruoxi looked directly at Lin Kun and asked softly.

A hint of ferocity appeared on Lin Kun's face, and he glared fiercely at Yang Chen. "So what if it is! Xu Dashao is helping me get rid of this beast! Such a scoundrel wants to plunder the property that belongs to our Lin family. I will never agree to it!"

"Dad..." Lin Ruoxi called out in distress, her eyes full of pain. "Dad, don't you realize you're being used by the Xu family? You're helping Xu Zhihong cause chaos for me! Do you know how critical the situation is for the company right now?! Dad...please, snap out of it! Xu Zhihong's intentions are completely different from what you think!"

"Nonsense!" Lin Kun shouted, "You, you bitch! Don't pretend to be kind. Just because you call me 'dad,' do you think I'll believe you're a good-hearted girl? If you truly cared for me, you wouldn't have taken everything that rightfully belonged to me in the first place! I am the first legitimate heir to Yulei! If it weren't for your tricks, that dead old woman wouldn't have suddenly changed her will and handed Yulei International over to a twenty-something brat!"

Lin Ruoxi staggered, her legs almost giving way if it weren't for the support of Wang Mama. Her face grew paler and more helpless, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "Dad...how could you think like this...She's my grandmother, your mother..."

"And what's wrong with that?! You refused to marry Xu Dashao with all your might! Wasn't it because you were afraid that the CEO position at Yulei would change hands after marriage?! Otherwise, with Xu Dashao's conditions, would you, this hypocritical woman, refuse?" Lin Kun, enraged, laughed mockingly. "Hahaha! I hit the nail on the head, didn't I? You're so ashamed that you want to die, aren't you?!"

Lin Ruoxi felt everything spinning, her breathing becoming difficult. Her internal organs seemed to sink like mercury, and crystalline tears streamed down her face, falling to the ground.

The woman who always remained cold and noble, like a queen, finally couldn't help but cry, and cried so heartbreakingly. Lin Ruoxi covered her face with her hands, her words choked with sobs.

"When Mom passed away, you didn't even bother to come home to see her for the last time because of your mistress... When Grandma passed away, you only showed up after she died, and all you cared about was inheritance... As far back as I can remember, besides squandering Grandma's money and fooling around outside, you never cared about the company... How could Grandma trust the company to you..." Lin Ruoxi looked at Lin Kun with anguish, biting her cherry lips. "Dad, don't you understand what you're doing?!"

A gloominess swept over Lin Kun's face. He sneered, "Everything I do is for what's rightfully mine! If those two damn women didn't control me, would I need to grovel and beg them for money?! Clearly, there are so many shares in the company, why should they only give me so little money?! I am the only man in the family, shouldn't I be in charge?! You, you bitch, always find excuses! Excuses! Excuses!"

"Your words are just like farts..."

Yang Chen couldn't bear to listen any longer. He couldn't understand how a woman like Lin Ruoxi could have such a foolish and deranged father. Perhaps it was fate playing tricks, or perhaps despicable people always had pitiful aspects.

Yang Chen's hand instantly grabbed Lin Kun's neck. With a little force, Lin Kun immediately found it difficult to breathe, his face turning red, his body writhing, but unable to break free.

"If I had my way, you would have died at least seven or eight times today..." Yang Chen said lightly, glancing back at the somewhat nervous Lin Ruoxi at the door. "But, my wife is softer-hearted after all. If I killed you, this so-called father, she definitely wouldn't forgive me easily."

With that said, Yang Chen released his grip on Lin Kun's neck, only to deliver a swift hand chop to the back of Lin Kun's neck!

Lin Kun's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed on the spot, unconscious.

"Yang Chen! What...what did you do to him?" Lin Ruoxi, still worried, walked up and crouched down, checking Lin Kun's breathing. When she found he wasn't dead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Blood is thicker than water, no matter what.

"Leave him to me." Yang Chen bent down, lifting Lin Kun's body onto his shoulders, and headed towards a nearby trash bin.

Lin Ruoxi panicked and quickly intervened, "No, don't throw him in there, this is enough..."

"I won't leave him crippled to die, it's already giving you face. Despite how he treated you, if you still consider him your father, I have nothing to say. But I hope you'll consider my feelings too. Regardless of what you feel inside, at least, I am your husband now."

Yang Chen's tone was calm and firm, each word as immutable as law. After speaking, he proceeded towards the trash bin.

"I am your husband now!"

"I am your husband now!"

Lin Ruoxi hung her arms limply by her sides, standing in place, unable to utter a word as she watched Yang Chen's retreating figure.

As Yang Chen tossed Lin Kun's body into the trash bin once again and turned around, he heard Wang Mama shout out...

"Miss!"
