"Hmph, Dad, he's Zhang Fang's son after all. Now he's gone astray. How can we, as his uncles, just stand by and do nothing?"
Hearing Zhang Jianguo's words, Zhang Leshan scrambled up from the ground, indignantly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Heh heh heh, stand by and do nothing? Those are some noble words you're speaking!"
Lin Chen let out a cold snort and directly shielded his mother behind him.
"Well said, 'stand by and do nothing.' When my mother was five months pregnant and you kicked her out of the house in the dead of winter, where was your 'stand by and do nothing' then?"
"When my mother needed money for surgery and I knelt and begged you, where was your 'stand by and do nothing' then?"
"How is it that only now that we're doing well in all aspects, you suddenly want to interfere?"
Lin Chen was unapologetic, directly exposing the true faces of Zhang Leshan and the others.
When he was little, his mother had appendicitis and needed several thousand yuan for surgery. He was too young then and had to walk dozens of kilometers to borrow money from his so-called uncles and grandfather.
To his surprise, he was chased away with a carrying pole, and they even called him a little bastard and forbade him from entering the Zhang family gate!
To this day, Lin Chen could never forgive them!
"Alright, alright, less talking. Lin Chen, don't be stubborn. We're just worried you'll go down the wrong path; it's for your own good!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the faces of the Zhang family members turned somewhat unnatural. Only Zhang Jianguo, relying on his age, continued to try and persuade Lin Chen.
"Is that so? Then you don't need to worry about me anymore. I, Lin Chen, will forever remember that you called me a bastard and wouldn't let me step foot in the Zhang family's door."
"A bastard is a bastard. Now please leave my house, or I'll have security throw you out!"
"You should know where this is, and you should know I'm not joking!"
Lin Chen said coldly to Zhang Jianguo and the others.
"Lin Chen! You scoundrel, you..."
Zhang Leshan beside him wanted to say more, but upon meeting Lin Chen's murderous gaze, he instinctively flinched and swallowed the words back.
"Enough, enough, all of you be quiet! Let me speak!"
Seeing that Lin Chen was still somewhat polite to him, Zhang Jianguo took the lead in speaking.
"Lin Chen, you know, what we did back then was out of necessity. Your mother was supposed to go to university, but she came back pregnant. How would you have the villagers look at us, the Zhang family?"
"We were helpless!"
Zhang Jianguo sighed deeply and explained to Lin Chen.
"Heh heh heh, helpless? Because you were helpless, you wanted my mother to freeze to death outside? A mother and child lost?"
"If my mother hadn't been lucky and met kind people, would you even have the chance to babble in front of us now?"
"Enough, enough, I don't care what you want to say. I'm telling you clearly, I, Lin Chen, would rather die than step foot in your Zhang family's door again in this lifetime!"
"So, no matter why you're here now, get lost!"
"One more word, and I'll directly call security to throw you out!"
Lin Chen truly didn't want to waste his breath with these people. They preached grand principles while disregarding human life, proving themselves worse than beasts!
For a mere shred of face, they almost let a pregnant mother freeze to death in the snow. What a bunch of good relatives!
"Alright Lin Chen, give each of our families one million, and we'll leave immediately!"
"If you don't, we'll camp outside your apartment complex and let your neighbors know you're an ex-convict and how you treat your relatives!"
Finally, it was Zhang Leshan who spoke up, stating their demands.
"One million? Heh heh heh, you really have the nerve to think of that!"
"I'm telling you, I'm very rich now. See this card? It has ten million in it."
"Come, come, look at that car outside. Do you know what a Rolls-Royce Phantom is? It's mine!"
"But so what? I'd rather burn all this money for firewood than give you a single cent! You want to throw a tantrum? Feel free, but you can try and see what happens when you cause trouble in Shanshui Jiayuan!"
After saying this, Lin Chen walked to the side of the living room and picked up an intercom from the wall.
"Security, send twenty men with weapons to Jiayuan Yihao, immediately, right now!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, we're coming right away!"
The security captain on the other end of the intercom was startled by Lin Chen's voice and quickly led dozens of security guards armed with electric batons.
Soon, dozens of security guards surrounded the outside of the Jiayuan Yihao villa.
"Mr. Lin, what are your orders?"
The security captain bowed respectfully upon seeing Lin Chen.
Others might not know Lin Chen's capabilities, but he knew them very well!
How could they dare offend someone whom even esteemed figures like President Qiu Hanying and Old Master Shangguan sought to please?
"Everyone, listen to my command. Power up the electric batons and drive these people out!"
Lin Chen frowned and directly ordered the security guards present.
"Zzzzzz..."
With the crackling sound of electricity, the electric batons in the hands of dozens of security guards instantly came to life and surged towards Zhang Jianguo and the others.
"Lin Chen! You little bastard, you actually dare to lay hands on us, I will never let you off!"
Seeing the electric batons in the security guards' hands, Zhang Leshan was truly scared and could only retreat backward.
"Dad, let's hurry and leave. These electric batons can really kill people!"
Zhang Leguang could only pull Zhang Jianguo's arm and retreat backward.
Yes, they had forgotten. They had forgotten how they had treated Lin Chen and his mother before. Now that people had prospered, how could they still threaten them? It was like courting death!
"Third sister, third sister! Please beg for mercy! Otherwise, these people will really beat us to death. Please, beg Lin Chen for mercy!"
Zhang Leshan knew Lin Chen was furious right now, and begging him was impossible. He could only turn his gaze to Zhang Fang.
He knew Zhang Fang was soft-hearted. As long as he spoke now, they would be able to leave safely.
"Lin Chen... why don't we just let it go? Let them leave. After all... blood is thicker than water."
Saying this, Zhang Fang didn't continue.
"Mom, you're just too soft-hearted. Have you forgotten how they bullied you when I wasn't home?"
Seeing his mother still pleading for Zhang Jianguo and the others at this moment, Lin Chen felt a surge of helplessness and could only ask in return.
