Chapter 445: Chapter 445 - Evil Will Grind Evil(1)_1

"What nonsense?" Unexpectedly, the man guarding the gate didn’t go into the courtyard to report when he heard He Bang’s words. Instead, he disdainfully glared at them for a while and rudely said, "Who doesn’t know that our Family Head has only the He family left in his maternal home. You folks old and young trying to deceive us, there’s no way."

"Insolence. Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this old lady right here is the maternal grandmother of the Lin Family. You all are spouting nonsense blindly, take care that you might get a beating later." He Bang intimidatingly lectured the gate guard like a fox pretending to be a tiger, pointing at him. As for getting beaten, he only knew about large households administering such punishment to servants who erred from seeing plays.

"Maternal grandmother?" The man guarding the gate burst out laughing when he heard it, "You are here to play tricks, but it seems you didn’t bring your brains with you. And now you’re asking for a beating?"

"Shameless creature, say more nonsense, and be prepared to face consequences you cannot bear." He Lian menacingly pointed her rough black finger at Bai Jincheng instructing him.

Bai Jincheng snickered watching the He family. In his prime, he was well-known within Capital City as a formidable Darts Master. Now confronted with the He family’s false air of arrogance, he truly didn’t care. Moreover, during his stay at the Lin Family, he became relatively familiar with He Dingyi and others and knew a thing or two about the He family.

Based on the words of the crowd in front of him, Bai Jincheng guessed that they might be the problematic relatives that He Dingyi had once spoken about.

People who practice martial arts often have straightforward characters and can’t stand even a slightest amount of deceit. The conduct of the He family members was entirely unacceptable to Bai Jincheng. If it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t sure about He Dingyi and Lin Ziyin’s attitudes, Bai Jincheng would want to teach these people a brutal lesson. So, would he be afraid of their empty threats and swagger?

"I, for one, love to wander freely. How would you even know about my preferences?" Bai Jincheng responded mockingly.

"Watchdog, despicable thing." Seeing the tattoo on Bai Jincheng’s forehead, He Bang instantly regained his confidence.

"Try cursing again?" Bai Jincheng’s face turned cold. He then lightly kicked a fist-sized rock up and caught it in his hand. With a squeeze, the stone was crushed into rubble instantly.

The He family, being commoners, had never seen such a display of raw power. Scared by Bai Jincheng’s show of might, they all retreated a good distance. It was too terrifying. If they irritated the gatekeeper, what if he twisted their heads off? They accepted that their heads were not tougher than stone.

Seeing their terrified faces, Bai Jincheng sneered and, without continuing to beat them, retreated back to his post and sat down, watching the He family.

"Mother, what do we do?" The drastically subdued He Bang asked the old lady in the middle, troubled.

Though the old lady appeared domineering usually, deep down, she was only a bully within her domain. Bai Jincheng’s display just now had terrified her to the point of shaky legs, barely able to stand. When her son asked her what to do, how would she know what to do at this point?

"You, you..." Before she could say the third ’you’, the old lady helplessly collapsed.

"Mother, what’s wrong with you?" He Lian’s high-pitched shriek almost shattered everyone’s eardrums.

"Mother." He Nian and the others acted with utter expressions of grief.

Putting on a performance had always been one of the methods of the He Family.

"What’s going on?" The old man came out amidst the commotion. He sternly asked Bai Jincheng and the other gatekeepers, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Old Master, a few people came to cause trouble at home. Somehow, that old lady just collapsed." Bai Jincheng answered in a low, respectful tone.
