"Why?"
"Hahaha! Shangguan Ling'er, you still have the nerve to ask me why?"
"As a mere woman, why do you deserve to possess the Shangguan family's fortune?"
Shangguan Hong clenched his fists tightly, appearing utterly deranged.
From today onwards, the entire Hangcheng would know that the head of the Shangguan family was no longer Shangguan Xiong, but him, Shangguan Hong!
"But Grandpa is your own brother! For a mere fortune, you colluded with a sworn enemy of the family to attack your own brother. How could you bear to do it?"
Shangguan Ling'er stared at Shangguan Hong and questioned him sternly.
She knew that her second uncle didn't particularly favor her, but blood is thicker than water!
When Lin Chen had previously informed them about a confidant poisoning them, they had investigated everyone in the Shangguan family villa, but they had never suspected their own second uncle!
Unexpectedly, the person least suspected was the perpetrator!
"Enough with the nonsense! I've already prepared the contract for you. Transfer all the assets to me, or I'll sell you to the dirtiest brothel in Africa!"
Shangguan Hong put on a ruthless demeanor, taking out a contract and placing it before Shangguan Ling'er.
Hearing Shangguan Hong's words, Shangguan Ling'er's eyes widened again, filled with disbelief.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she truly wouldn't have believed that such words could come from her own second uncle!
Her own blood relative wanted to sell her to the dirtiest brothel in Africa!
"You should consider yourself fortunate that your senile grandfather crippled me. Otherwise, I would have truly savored your essence!"
Even Yun Zhonghao looked at Shangguan Ling'er coldly at this moment, his eyes filled with anger and a hint of desire.
No matter what, Shangguan Ling'er was undeniably one of the Four Great Beauties of Hangcheng!
"Have you said enough?"
However, just as Shangguan Hong and the others were looking smug, Lin Chen, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up.
As he spoke, he flicked out a handful of silver needles, which directly pierced Yun Zhonghao.
"Uh! How... how is this possible?"
Yun Zhonghao was stunned by this sight.
He had personally seen Lin Chen drink the poison outside. How could he still stand up now?
"Hmph, with your meager tricks, do you think you can fool me?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain.
"But you and Shangguan Xiong did drink the poison!"
No matter what Lin Chen said, Yun Zhonghao remained in disbelief.
He had been guarding outside the villa the entire time, so he had personally seen Lin Chen and Shangguan Xiong drink the poison.
Furthermore, he was one hundred percent certain that the cup containing the poison had not been switched!
But how could Lin Chen still be fine now?
"Hmph, Yun Zhonghao, do you think such a poison can stump the Divine Doctor Lin?"
"Let me tell you, before we drank that cup of poison, we had already taken the antidote."
Just as Yun Zhonghao looked bewildered, Shangguan Xiong pushed open the bedroom door and slowly walked out.
When Lin Chen had told him that Shangguan Hong had betrayed him, he had been somewhat disbelieving, and even his act had been somewhat unconvincing.
But he never expected that his own second brother would not only poison him but also collude with a beast like Yun Zhonghao!
"Impossible, this is impossible! A poison personally refined by a sect elder, how could you, an ordinary person, have an antidote?"
Hearing Shangguan Xiong's words, Yun Zhonghao still looked incredulous.
What was the status of a sect elder?
They were genuine Earthly Immortals!
How could there be an antidote outside for a poison personally refined by such a person?
"Hmph, Yun Zhonghao, if you know what's good for you, tell me who is behind you and where they are, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead, but unable to die!"
Lin Chen stood in front of Yun Zhonghao, his face darkened.
"Hehehe, Lin Chen, no matter how you obtained the antidote, it is absolutely impossible for you to keep me now!"
Threatened by Lin Chen, Yun Zhonghao not only showed no panic but even started laughing.
He had come prepared with his methods this time!
Before departing, a sect elder had personally injected a strand of spiritual energy into his body. This spiritual energy could shatter mountains and cross rivers without any problem.
Even if he couldn't deal with Lin Chen, escaping should definitely be possible, right?
"Is that so? You can try and see if you can still use your spiritual energy."
Lin Chen smiled coldly, his expression full of confidence.
The silver needles he had flicked out earlier, though seemingly casual, had actually directly sealed Yun Zhonghao's meridians.
Now, if he wanted to mobilize his spiritual energy to escape, it was absolutely impossible!
"Hmph, I don't believe it! Huh? What's going on?"
As Yun Zhonghao was about to make a move, he suddenly found that his entire body felt as if it were bound.
The spiritual energy from his sect elder within his body was like it was locked by some chain, and he couldn't mobilize it at all!
"Old Master, Ling'er, you two go outside first. I need to handle things here."
Lin Chen then turned his head and looked at Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Ling'er behind him.
He knew that given Yun Zhonghao's personality, he would never surrender easily. However, to obtain intelligence about the sect behind him, he had no choice but to use some special means!
Furthermore, the matter of the soul restriction by the riverside still lingered in Lin Chen's mind.
To obtain intelligence, there was no other way except soul searching!
But when he used such a method, other people definitely couldn't be present!
"Understood, Mr. Lin."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, both Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Ling'er chose to trust him and turned to leave.
Although they didn't know exactly what Lin Chen was about to do, they were very clear that if it weren't for Lin Chen today, the entire Shangguan family would probably have been wiped out!
After Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Ling'er left, Lin Chen also put away his smile and slowly approached Yun Zhonghao.
"I know the rules of the sect behind you, and I know you won't say anything."
"But don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with people like you!"
"Hahaha! Lin Chen, is it? Kill me if you dare! You will never get a single piece of information from me!"
Seeing Lin Chen's face, Yun Zhonghao also appeared frenzied.
He knew that he was definitely doomed today, but he was even more aware of the consequences of betraying his sect!
