Chapter 363: Establishing Power in Qingshui (12) I’ll Shoulder All of the Consequences!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was especially scorching in Qingshui City that day; as soon as it rose, the sun was like a huge red furnace that roasted the land. It was only eight o’clock in the morning, and the temperature had already soared to 86 degrees Fahrenheit!
After the quartet comprised of Ling Yun, Tang ng, Cui Lao, and Dugu Mo had eaten their breakfast, Tang ng drove their vehicle — taking all of them and Little White — to his own ho, where he parked Xue ining’s Ferrari in the garage before switching to his Humr and ferrying them to Linjiang Road!
While they were en route to their destination, Tang ng muttered, “Big Brother Yun, this... how are we going to demolish a house without a bulldozer and excavator?”
Cui Lao and Dugu Mo exchanged glances and echoed his concern inwardly. How were they going to demolish a house without a bulldozer and excavator?
Even if they hired soone to do it, the person wouldn’t execute the task according to plan for fear of being held liable for the demolition of soone else’s house.
Ling Yun laughed. “Who says that a bulldozer and excavator are required to demolish a house? Don’t worry, I only need to locate the house, and I guarantee that it will be razed to the ground!”
Ling Yun didn’t even need a bulldozer or excavator since he had the Shennong Cauldron, which weighed over two thousand kilograms, the Devil’s Underworld Essence Blade, Fire Talismans, and his own strength. Who needed an excavator?
Ling Yun was prepared to use the hefty Shennong Cauldron to smash the house. Whatever remained standing would be severed with the Devil’s Blade — the blade could slice through tough rock as though it were tofu, so which pillar or beam could withstand its destructive force?
It was his desire to put on a public display of him single-handedly demolishing the house as a warning to Xie Zhenting, Luo Zhong, and Gou Liancheng that he, Ling Yun, had returned and opposed the demolition of his house!
This ti, Ling Yun wasn’t bothered by the prospect of caras and other hi-tech photography equipnt at the scene. Since he had intended to establish his authority, then it would be to his advantage if there were more people who knew about it. If that weren’t the case, how could he be considered to be establishing his authority?
Ling Yun wanted to show the whole of Qingshui City that he was untouchable and that the sa applied to his house!
As it was the morning rush hour, the roads were congested. However, Ling Yun remained composed and was casually humming a tune beside the driver. He seed oblivious to the fact that both Tang ng and Cui Lao were already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Tang ng’s nervousness could mainly be attributed to his excited state of mind. Along with an increase in his heart rate, Tang ng’s hands on the steering wheel turned clammy. He was unsure whether his perspiration was due to the heat or excitent.
Their boss was planning to demonstrate his prowess and demolish a house by hand. It would be such a rare sight, and Tang ng was understandably excited at the thought of witnessing it.
Cui Lao was nervous due to the intense turmoil that was churning within him!
The problem didn’t lie in Ling Yun’s plan to demolish the house. Now that Ling Yun’s identity had been verified as the son of Ling Xiao, the Ling Family would have the ans of settling any issues arising from Ling Yun’s demolition despite their seemingly weak influence.
Instead, Cui Lao was wondering whether he ought to expose his own identity. Ling Yun was obviously demolishing the house for public viewing, so wouldn’t the reporters of Qingshui City arrive to cover the scene? Wouldn’t the city dwellers surround them as spectators?
As soon as any related videos or information were uploaded online, all the major clans in Beijing would draw the association between him and Ling Yun. They would imdiately recognize the relationship between Ling Yun and the Ling Family!
Given that it was broad daylight currently, Cui Lao couldn’t possibly wear a face mask.
Although Cui Lao had initially tried to dissuade Ling Yun from carrying out his plans, he felt that it would be better to let him have his way. Based on his observation of Ling Yun’s temperant, Cui Lao knew that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill soone. Considering that Ling Yun had opted to demolish the person’s house instead of assassinating him, Cui Lao reckoned that it was still the lesser of two evils.
The young master has been suffering alone for eighteen years while roaming outside, it’d be good to let him have his mont...
At that thought, Cui Lao suddenly cleared his throat and spoke to Ling Yun, who was still humming a tune casually. “Ling Yun, your retaliation is justifiable since that person demolished your house, but I’m constrained by my identity and can’t accompany you on this mission in broad daylight, so...”
Ling Yun laughed. “Cui Lao, I told you to return ho to rest last night, but you didn’t listen. Look at you, why do you want to bumble around in your pajamas with kids like us? Quick, go back and have a good rest, there’s still a fierce battle to face tonight!”
Zhuang ifeng’s fate was still unknown as she remained in the Sun Family’s custody. Xiao ii was still missing, and they hadn’t received any news about Cao Shanshan. Ling Yun could no longer wait; he decided that after settling the scores with Luo Zhong and his gang, he would enter the Zhuang’s household and uproot the Sun Family completely in order to restore peace in Qingshui City.
Cui Lao chortled and remarked nonchalantly, “I’m not in a hurry to go back. When you’ve reached your destination, I will get out as well, and you guys can proceed with your business!”
With Cui Lao’s skills, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to notice him if he were to conceal himself. Although Cui Lao wouldn’t be accompanying Ling Yun, he would certainly be protecting him in secret.
If the Sun Family caught wind of their mission and wanted to give Ling Yun trouble in broad daylight, then Cui Lao would have no choice but to reveal himself to defend Ling Yun.
Tang ng drove the Humr eastwards, and after they exited the eastern outer ring, the traffic had thinned. Tang ng stepped on the accelerator and managed to stop the Humr at the entrance of the original public clinic after forty minutes.
While he was still in the Humr, Ling Yun surveyed the clinic and confird that it had been utterly flattened!
They’re so highly efficient — my mother purchased this rundown courtyard, which is estimated to be around two hundred square ters, and they only needed two days to reduce it to this state. They’re d*mn professional!
Ling Yun was amazed by the sight and wondered about his own speed of demolition.
However, he wasn’t the least bit sorrowful over the flattened clinic. Now that he had two villas and a clinic, and had even “purchased” a clothing store, Ling Yun wasn’t upset by the destruction of this rundown courtyard.
“Ling Yun, just follow your heart’s desires. I will bear all the consequences on your behalf! I’ll make a move first!”
After he had finished speaking, Cui Lao got out of the vehicle and vanished without a trace.
Ling Yun was highly confused by his words, and his curiosity in Cui Lao was ignited. He thought to himself, Had my own mother or Miracle Doctor Xue uttered those words, I wouldn’t have found it bizarre. But this mysterious old man only spent a night with , and yet he’s willing to let have my way?
And he’s willing to bear any of the consequences of my actions? He can’t be thinking of accepting as his disciple, right?
Tang ng and Dugu Mo were even more intrigued than Ling Yun. After witnessing Cui Lao’s departure, they asked Ling Yun perplexedly, “I say, Big Brother Yun, who exactly is this formidable old man? Although he has attained a powerful realm, why do I feel that he is so audacious with his words?”
Ling Yun looked upon Tang ng with disdain. “You could also be as audacious as him if you had his martial arts capabilities!”
Despite his remark, Ling Yun sensed that there was a hidden aning behind Cui Lao’s words. Judging from Cui Lao’s tone, it didn’t rely seem as though he would protect Ling Yun if the latter were to battle with an expert from the enemy lines, but that he had a powerful backing to tackle anything!
Could it be that the Green Dragon sent soone to help ? I would be overjoyed if that were the case...
Ling Yun laughed and simply dismissed that thought. He led Tang ng, Dugu Mo, and Little White in getting out of the vehicle and began walking towards Li Hongi’s shop.
Li Hongi had noticed the Humr’s arrival earlier on and recognized that it was Tang ng’s car due to his frequent visits to the area.
Ling Yun sauntered majestically towards the shop and was flanked by the bald Tang ng on his left, as well as a long-haired and robed Dugu Mo on his right. Each of them was at least 180cm tall and ford an aweso trio.
“Ling Yun, you’ve co. I tell you, sothing big has happened to your family...” Li Hongi was still the sa warm-hearted lady as before and quickly whispered those words to Ling Yun as he entered the shop.
Ling Yun nodded his head and smiled faintly. “Auntie Li, I’ve already seen what happened. Do you know who demolished my mother’s house?”
Li Hongi gave a deep sigh. “Who else could it be? On Thursday afternoon, the Street Administration representative, Hades Tian, brought his nephew and personnel from the demolition company along, drove a bulldozer, and flattened your house before we could even have a chance to react!”
Ling Yun exchanged glances with Tang ng and assud that it would be an easy case if Tian Botao and Tian Xiaoguang were the culprits behind the demolition.
Ling Yun gave a dismissive laugh and asked casually, “Since they ca to demolish the house, do you an nobody even bothered to probe or attempted to manage the situation?”
Li Hongi pursed her lips and sighed deeply once more. “They had an official warrant for the demolition and were accompanied by tens of city managent personnel, so who’d be able to take charge of the situation? Hades Tian has been dominating this street for so many years already. Even if your entire household of three were there, you guys wouldn’t have been able to stop him, not to ntion demolishing a vacant house!”
Pausing for a mont, Li Hongi sighed and said, “I had spoken a few words to Hades Tian and told him that even if he had an official warrant for the demolition, he was still required to obtain prior consent from your mother and compensate her accordingly. After all, it’s your mother’s housing property. But Hades Tian retorted that your mother wasn’t in Qingshui City at present and was uncontactable. Claiming that he couldn’t delay the progress of the demolition works, he had decided to proceed with it!”
Ling Yun laughed bitterly as he thought about how thoroughly inford Hades Tian was with regard to his personal affairs. Cui Lao had been correct, this was indeed a well-orchestrated plan!
The plan included the demolition of Ling Yun’s house, the cordoning of his villa by the Public Security Bureau, the investigation into his financial sources, the arrest of Tie Xiaohu, and Xie Junyan’s audacious harassnt of Ling Yun’s sister Lingyu — it was all part of a chain stratagem!
“Oh yes, Ling Yun, where has your mother gone? I tried calling her so many tis, why couldn’t I get through?”
Li Hongi expressed her concern for Qin Qiuyue.
Ling Yun knew that Li Hongi had friendly relations with his mother, and he smiled faintly. “My mother has gone out to run an errand and didn’t bring her mobile phone along, so there isn’t any cause for concern. Thank you, Auntie Li!”
Li Hongi modestly accepted his expression of gratitude and heard Ling Yun asking her, “Do you know the location of the demolition company, as well as the house of Hades Tian?”
“That’s a well-known fact to everyone. Oh, you can continue walking six hundred ters eastwards on the right side of the road to reach the temporary office of the demolition company. My shop is going to be demolished and relocated soon...
“Hades Tian’s ho is even more apparent to everyone. I heard that he has a house in the city, but because it is too far away, he usually resides at the triple-suited grand villa in Linjiang Garden with his nephew, Tian Xiaoguang!”
