Bai Jinghong let out a sigh and said to the Bai family members: “Regarding Yueying, I did indeed go too far.”
“When she returns, I will explain clearly and give the Jiang family an answer!”
Hearing Bai Jinghong suddenly say such words, Ji Qiuwan was somewhat incredulous.
As his mother, how could she not know what her own son was like?
Though a bit of a prodigal son, he was truly a man of his word.
Otherwise, back then, he wouldn’t have said he’d pursue Fan Ning’er and then actually be a lapdog for so long.
Originally, she thought bringing this matter up would make Bai Jinghong vehemently oppose it and fly into a rage, leaving immediately.
But Bai Jinghong actually agreed.
Surprised as she was, Ji Qiuwan was still very happy.
The Bai and Jiang families had some resentment over this matter, mainly directed at Bai Jinghong.
After all, Jiang Yueying was excellent in every aspect, and the threshold at her home was nearly worn down by suitors proposing marriage.
And what did Bai Jinghong do? He actually ran away and became a lapdog. It was a blatant slap in the Jiang family’s face.
In truth, Bai Jinghong really wanted to slap himself.
Such a wonderful girl, and he had thoroughly let her down.
Now, he just had to wait for Jiang Yueying’s return.
Checking the time, Bai Jinghong felt it was about right.
Chen Lin’s side should have already made their arrangements, just waiting for him to pass by so they could ambush him.
Just as Bai Jinghong guessed, Chen Lin had already positioned his Underworld Guards, who were now lying in wait on Bai Jinghong’s necessary route.
The Bai Family Estate was in an excellent location. Due to its large scale, it wasn’t in the bustling city center.
Leaving the estate, one had to pass through a mountain forest road.
This mountain road was very wide, allowing three to four cars to drive side by side.
And the forest, originally scenic, now became the perfect ambush spot for Chen Lin and his men.
At this moment, within the forest, there were six people.
All dressed in black, they all sat cross-legged, looking calm and composed.
Chen Lin was naturally among them.
He was wiping a jet-black pistol, his face full of confidence.
It seemed as though, for him, holding a gun in hand meant controlling the life and death of others.
“Hades, to deal with this kind of waste, isn’t your action sullying your reputation?”
One Underworld Guard asked cautiously.
“Hmph… I just want to see with my own eyes, Bai Jinghong kneeling in front of me, begging for mercy.”
“By the way, I’ll also record it to enjoy watching it later!”
Originally, he didn’t need to come. Sending five Underworld Guards could easily handle Bai Jinghong.
But he couldn’t do it. The more he thought, the angrier he got.
He, who rampaged across the West, his Hell Organization renowned throughout the world—who didn’t give him some face?
Since arriving in this mere city of Dragon Sea, in just a short while, the humiliating incidents he’d suffered were no less than five.
It was truly bullying people too damn much!
Being slapped in the face during the engagement banquet when trying to steal the bride, compensating for hotel tables and chairs, being slapped and humiliated by a bunch of second-generation rich kids at Sea Waves Restaurant.
Being repeatedly scorned by Fan Ning’er aside, getting his face slapped twice at the birthday banquet.
Every single incident was inextricably linked to Bai Jinghong.
This was why Chen Lin thought he absolutely had to be present.
Once the Underworld Guards dealt with Bai Jinghong’s bodyguards, he’d put on a mask, appear, and not let Bai Jinghong recognize him.
A prodigal son could never have seen a gunfight before; by then, he’d surely be scared into kneeling and begging for mercy.
Chen Lin could then humiliate him with impunity: first cripple one arm, then urinate on Bai Jinghong’s head, and record the video.
“When Bai Jinghong comes later, you lot handle his bodyguards.”
“No need to kill them, just cripple them, and don’t reveal your faces.”
“Yes, Hades!” The five responded in unison.
“Hades, why not eliminate the roots?” One of them asked.
In the past, Hades was never merciful.
Chen Lin glanced at him: “This is China. And although that waste Bai Jinghong is useless, before I establish a firm foothold, I still need to be wary of the Bai family.”
“They’ve entrenched themselves in Dragon Sea for many years. If I kill Bai Jinghong now, they will absolutely retaliate with all their might, throwing everything they have into revenge.”
“But if I just cripple Bai Jinghong, they won’t have the justification to go all out. They’d only be able to try to find the culprit.”
As a War God, Chen Lin wasn’t a reckless brute; he had a relatively functional brain.
In fact, it was just as Chen Lin thought.
Just like in the original story— Chen Lin crippled Bai Jinghong. The Bai family only targeted him for revenge, with the people they sent being relatively limited in strength.
For a time, they couldn’t handle Chen Lin. As time passed, Chen Lin’s local power grew, and with the entry of external forces stirring up trouble…
The Bai family naturally couldn’t suppress him anymore.
“Rest in place. According to the plan, Bai Jinghong will be out soon.”
The five Underworld Guards nodded in unison, on strict standby, but relatively relaxed. After all, to them, this was small-scale action.
Chen Lin’s face revealed a cruel smile, thinking about how Bai Jinghong would kneel and beg for mercy later. He felt a surge of excitement.
……
Inside the Bai Family Estate, after finishing his meal, Bai Jinghong left the dining room.
He directly took a sightseeing cart driven by a servant to outside the estate’s main gate.
At this moment, ten cars were parked outside the estate.
Each one was modified and equipped with bulletproof glass.
For others, getting so many modified cars wouldn’t be easy, but for Bai Jinghong, it was a matter of a single sentence.
Seeing Bai Jinghong appear, Ah Kun was the first to get out of the car and approach him.
“Young Master Bai, preparations are complete!”
“Mm, the gun models aren’t uniform, right?” Bai Jinghong asked.
“They are not uniform!”
Bai Jinghong patted Ah Kun’s shoulder: “Good, that’ll do. With this kind of scale, it’ll scare them to death!”
“Tell them, roughly around the middle of the Mountain Forest Road, we’ll encounter the ambush. Wait for my command!”
“Whichever side the gunfire comes from, get out on the opposite side, hide behind the cars, and just fire away. No need for reservations.”
“Regardless of today’s outcome, each man gets a 200,000 bonus. Ten times for the injured, one hundred times for the fallen!”
Ah Kun listened, his eyes lighting up: “Understood!”
Ah Kun quickly relayed Bai Jinghong’s words through the walkie-talkie.
Those bodyguards were all excited, practically wanting to shout, “Willing to die for Young Master Bai!”
Bai Jinghong smiled coldly and went to Ah Kun’s car, sitting directly in the back seat.
“Tssst…” After a burst of static from the walkie-talkie, Ah Kun’s command came: “Move out!”
The massive motorcade, three cars per row with Bai Jinghong’s car sandwiched in the middle, headed directly down from the estate.
This was also Ah Kun’s arrangement.
No matter how formidable the opponents were this time, as Bai Jinghong’s head of security, he had to ensure Bai Jinghong’s safety.
Therefore, even if the opponent was just one person, he couldn’t afford any mistakes.
This was the professionalism of a career bodyguard.
During the drive, Bai Jinghong rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
“Young Master Bai, you can’t do that! You’ll be a target!” Ah Kun quickly warned.
“Relax, this Young Master isn’t helpless!” Bai Jinghong smiled.
No matter what, his current realm was a Mystic Rank – Late Stage martial artist. Even if Chen Lin came personally, he wouldn’t be taken down.
And with his Soul Capturing Eye, he could see through things.
Where the opponent was hiding, he could see with a single glance.
And he really intended to use himself to make Chen Lin’s men strike without reservation.
Halfway through the journey, Bai Jinghong saw from afar six figures in the forest along the mountain road.
Five of the six figures were already crouching, moving closer to the roadside.
They clutched jet-black tools in their hands. He didn’t need to guess what those were.
Bai Jinghong scanned the surroundings again and found only those few people.
“Damn, they really only sent this many. What a dumbass, you really look down on your grandpa me!”
Bai Jinghong sneered coldly, directly taking Ah Kun’s walkie-talkie: “Twenty meters ahead!”
“Ten meters!”
“Five meters!”
“Right-hand side! Blast the bastards!”
