Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Knock Their Teeth Out

Zhou Chenyan’s brutality was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He appeared to be elegant and refined on the surface, yet his possessiveness and desire for control were extremely strong.

For instance, in order to make Lin Yu love only him, he would gift her a cute little dog, and once she had grown deeply attached to the dog, he would kill and eat it.

After that, Lin Yu never kept anything again.

Whenever Lin Yu spoke an extra word or smiled at someone else, Zhou Chenyan would become violent.

This was not only true in their personal life, but also in the business world, where his tactics were especially ruthless. To force someone into partnership, he once nearly buried their child alive, almost causing a catastrophe, and to monopolize the Zhou Group, he plotted against Zhou Chenyuan several times.

In order to survive, Zhou Chenyuan was forced to engage in a power struggle with Zhou Chenyan, which was when he met Lin Yu. Both of them, under Zhou Chenyan’s oppression, struggled desperately to live, and eventually had to join forces when they had no other choice.

At that time, Old Master Zhou finally saw another side of his brilliant son, and he could not bear to see his own child in prison, nor could he watch the Zhou Group be destroyed in Zhou Chenyan’s hands. Therefore, he decided to hand over the company to his eldest son, Zhou Chenyuan.

The only condition was that Zhou Chenyuan had to take care of Zhou Chenyan for life.

At the same time, Old Master Zhou wanted to send Lin Yu abroad to take care of Zhou Chenyan. Zhou Chenyuan agreed to send Zhou Chenyan abroad to stop this from happening; otherwise, he would have locked Zhou Chenyan in a mental hospital under his own surveillance until he died.

Many members of the Zhou family had suffered at the hands of Zhou Chenyan, and many of them had been implicated because of Lin Yu, so they all hoped Lin Yu would leave. Zhou Chenyuan had to compromise on many conditions to protect Lin Yu.

The consequence was that the members of the Zhou family who had had over twenty years of peace were once again causing trouble and had even brought Zhou Chenyan back.

Now, the entire Zhou family might not say they were living in dire straits, but their situation was clearly uncomfortable.

Several people had even come to Lin Yu for help.

Lin Yu, dressed in a black dress, with her long hair tied back with a snow-white silk scarf, sat expressionlessly on the sofa, listening to the ongoing chatter of the person in front of her.

"Zhou Chenyan is not human at all; he forcefully bought all our shares at a low price and drove us out of the company, turning it into a complete mess. Sister-in-law, you have to ask Ah Lin to think of something," someone pleaded.

"Yes, sister-in-law, if it goes on like this, the company will definitely be finished."

"Sister-in-law, that’s cousin’s hard work."

Lin Yu spoke dispassionately, "Now you know to beg me. When Zhou Jinzhong proposed Zhou Chenyan as an advisor, didn’t you all agree?"

If they had been united and opposed him as they were now, they wouldn’t be in this situation.

"But..."

"What kind of person Zhou Chenyan is, you all knew more than twenty years ago. Did you actually believe that he had reformed himself after so many years abroad?" Lin Yu scoffed, "Naive."

"That may be true, but we also wanted to earn more money," someone said.

"Haven’t Chenyuan and Ah Lin made enough money for you these years? You’re just greedy," Lin Yu rebuked.

"Sister-in-law, after all, you were once married to Zhou Chenyan. Please, plead with him on our behalf." Another person said shamelessly, "After all, we are family; why should we cause such conflict?"

Lin Yu’s face became even more tense, her gaze fixed on the speaker, "What do you mean?"

That person touched his nose with a dismissive tone, "After all, isn’t Zhou Chenyan mad now because you once betrayed him? I think he still loves you. If you go to him, our lives would be much better."

At that moment, all of Lin Yu’s emotions collapsed. These people were like leeches, and now they even expected her to beg Zhou Chenyan.

"When trouble came, none of you stood up. Why should I beg him for you now? Get out, all of you," Lin Yu said, unceremoniously shooing them away.

"Sister-in-law, don’t be so heartless. After all, if we are destroyed, your end won’t be any better."

"That’s my business, not yours," Lin Yu said angrily, standing up to order the butler to expel these people.

The butler stood at the door, his expression grim, "Madam, the second master is here."

Lin Yu stiffened.

Zhou Chenyan strutted in, a distinctly tender smile on his lips, but when he saw Lin Yu’s displeased expression, he immediately frowned, "Ah Yu, who has upset you?"

Lin Yu remained silent.

Zhou Chenyan’s gaze had already shifted to the people on the other side, his voice chilling, "Did you upset her?"

The several people looked at each other with fear, none admitting.

Zhou Chenyan scoffed in disdain and casually ordered, "Seems like you said something unpleasant and upset Ah Yu. Since you can’t speak properly, let’s just knock out your teeth."

"Second uncle..." The people’s faces turned ashen, their pleas for mercy filled with panic, "It was just a joke with the sister-in-law, just a joke."

"Ah Yu, aren’t their jokes funny?" Zhou Chenyan bent down, whispering in Lin Yu’s ear.

Someone realized what was happening and quickly apologized to Lin Yu, "We were just joking, sister-in-law. If you’re upset, we apologize."

"Sorry, sister-in-law."

"Sister, please forgive us with your generous heart."

Zhou Chenyan’s dark brows revealed a malicious smile as he deliberately asked, "Ah Yu, do you want to forgive them?"

Lin Yu clenched her fists tightly. He always did this, always dragging her into all the turmoil, making her the source of all the blame.

Seeing those people’s pitiful, frightened expressions, Lin Yu wanted to ask where their pushiness had gone when they had demanded she beg Zhou Chenyan.

"Ah Yu?" Zhou Chenyan, seeing Lin Yu not responding, drawled, "It seems Ah Yu doesn’t want to forgive you."

Lin Yu did not miss the malice that flashed in the eyes of those people when Zhou Chenyan’s words fell.

Stone-faced, she watched as Zhou Chenyan’s men grabbed the people, ready to act.

"Stop, Zhou Chenyan, let them go."

Zhou Chenyan raised an eyebrow, interest flickering in his eyes, "Ah Yu, you’re being too soft-hearted; how will this do?"

"They... didn’t say anything offensive; don’t be hard on them," Lin Yu said indifferently, "Moreover, you’ve already got their shares, so don’t annihilate them completely."

Zhou Chenyan’s expression suddenly changed, his gaze ice cold as he looked at the people, "Seems like you love gossiping. Well then, let’s just get rid of your tongues for good."

"Zhou Chenyan..."

"Screams burst from the villa, and five or six bloodied teeth were strewn on the floor.

The rest of the people turned pale, too terrified to speak.

Lin Yu couldn’t help but tremble, those past memories fermenting in her mind, filled with fear.
