Chapter 607: Chapter 607: A Visitor from the Bai Family!

Outside the Lin Family villa.

A Mercedes Benz slowly approached and stopped at the entrance.

Then, two people got out of the car.

A middle-aged man, and an elderly man of a venerable age.

The middle-aged man had a full beard and appeared somewhat weary, yet he exuded an impressive aura.

As for the venerable old man, though his frame was frail and his eyes sunken, he seemed to have an invisible force field around him that made one tremble at a glance.

The middle-aged man walked up to the villa entrance, looked inside, and then pressed the doorbell.

The Lin Family’s security personnel came out, asking with a puzzled look:

"Who are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for Bai Yuzhen, I am a relative of her family."

Seeing that the middle-aged man carried himself with extraordinary bearing, the security staff hurriedly went back to make a call.

Soon after, Bai Yuzhen came out.

She initially had a smile on her face, but upon seeing the middle-aged man at the door, her expression immediately changed, and her eyes filled with panic.

Forcing herself to regain composure, Bai Yuzhen approached the door, opened it, and said in a low voice:

"Big brother!"

This middle-aged man was her elder brother, Bai Yulou.

Bai Yulou looked at Bai Yuzhen with an expressionless face and said in a cold voice:

"Not recognizing any family back then, and now still recognizing me, that is quite unexpected."

Bai Yuzhen’s complexion turned ugly; she looked down and said:

"Big brother, please... come in."

Bai Yulou snorted coldly and strode into the villa.

At that moment, Lin Chaodong and Li De’an also arrived at the door. Lin Chaodong, astutely noticing the emotional disturbance in his daughter-in-law, asked:

"Yuzhen, who are they?"

Bai Yuzhen took a deep breath.

"Dad, he is my elder brother, Bai Yulou of the Bai Family of Shu City."

Hearing this name, Lin Chaodong’s smile instantly vanished.

Bai Yulou looked at Lin Chaodong.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see, I hope you are staying well. Aren’t you going to invite me in?"

Lin Chaodong stood in the doorway, not moving aside, and said indifferently:

"My Lin Family is but a small household, not fit for accommodating a great Buddha from the Bai Family of Shu City. If there is nothing urgent, please leave."

With these words, Bai Yulou’s eyes narrowed, revealing a smile that was not quite a smile.

He ignored Lin Chaodong completely and walked straight into the house.

Lin Chaodong stood tall, ready to stop him, but in the next moment, he was hit by a terrifying aura. He felt as if an invisible hand was pushing him hard to the side.

His body seemed pinned by an invisible wall of air against the wall next to the entrance, unable to move.

He even found breathing difficult.

He watched as Bai Yulou walked in, powerless to stop him.

At this, Bai Yuzhen panicked.

"Big brother, quickly make him stop!"

Bai Yulou paused, casually waved his hand, and Lin Chaodong was able to move normally again.

Then, the venerable old man following Bai Yulou approached Lin Chaodong.

Those turbid eyes glanced at Lin Chaodong, as a strange smile appeared on his withered face before he too walked inside.

Bai Yuzhen quickly went over to Lin Chaodong.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Lin Chaodong’s face was an ashen color, and he shook his head.

"I’m fine."

Bai Yuzhen helped Lin Chaodong inside and they sat down.

The usually gentle and virtuous Bai Yuzhen now wore an angry expression, saying:

"Big brother, our father disowned me twenty years ago. For over twenty years, I haven’t stepped foot out of Yancheng. Does the family still refuse to let me go?"

Bai Yulou said indifferently:

"Father may forgive you, but the family may not."

Bai Yuzhen’s expression faltered.

"What does that mean? What happened to father?"

Bai Yulou said without emotion:

"Father is critically ill and doesn’t have much time left."

Bai Yuzhen trembled, her eyes immediately reddening.

No matter what, that was her biological father.

"How...how could this happen?"

"He is a martial artist of high esteem, not even ninety years old!"

"So what? The Bai Family is caught in a vortex of endless power struggles and self-interest. In hundreds of years, which Family Head has met a peaceful end?"

With just one sentence from Bai Yulou, everyone fell silent.

That sentence seemed to hold boundless sorrow and helplessness.

Throughout the entire Dragon Country, the Bai Family was a colossus; even such a giant struggled to find its footing amid storms. Then what of the smaller families?

Lin Chaodong had been harboring a lot of anger.

At those words, he seemed suddenly to come to a realization.

On reflection, the Bai Family had only interfered a few times before Bai Yuzhen’s marriage to Lin Wanhao, and it seemed they had sent no one to the Lin Family since the couple’s wedding.

Given the vast disparity between the two families, the Bai Family’s actions could be considered quite magnanimous.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chaodong spoke:

"Yuzhen has been with our family for over two decades. Although I know the Bai Family looks down on us, with Bai Lao critically ill, both morally and emotionally, we should still go to see him."

Bai Yulou took an indifferent glance at Lin Chaodong.

"Mr. Lin, the storm is brewing within the Bai Family, and though it’s still calm for the time being, it may not be if you go. My intention is to only take Yuzhen and her daughter back."

Rejected directly by Bai Yulou, Lin Chaodong’s face darkened.

He snorted coldly.

"The Lin Family has done all the right courtesies. Whatever your Bai Family wishes to stir up, stir up as you please."

Seeing the tension, Bai Yuzhen spoke up:

"Big brother, when shall we leave?"

Bai Yulou did not answer, but looked around.

"Where is Lin Luoluo?"

"Luoluo is still at the company, she should come back after work."

Bai Yulou nodded, then said:

"That’s fine."

"Now, let’s get to the important matter."

He took a contract out of his bag and threw it in front of Bai Yuzhen.

"Sign this before you leave."

Bai Yuzhen was taken aback, picked up the contract, looked at it, and her face turned sour.

"Give up the family’s inheritance rights?"

"Renounce the family name?"

"Sever all ties completely?"
