486: Chapter 482: Persuasion (Third Update!) 486: Chapter 482: Persuasion (Third Update!) “Son, your dad is sorry to you and your sister!

And to your mother!

Now that you’ve graduated from high school, I can finally see you truly grow up…”

As he spoke these words, Lin Zhenyu’s eyes had already reddened, his voice tinged with a hint of chocked emotion.

Hearing the thick sense of guilt in his father’s words and the grand wish for his son to be successful, Lin Tian’s expression dimmed slightly, his emotions complex.

If only.

If only…

he hadn’t been reborn.

The person he was before must have already been declared dead from an accident, right?

What kind of excruciating pain would that news have brought back to his family?

It must have felt like the sky had fallen!

Lin Tian sighed softly to himself and then shook his head, saying, “Dad, don’t overthink it.

Your health is what’s most important!

And, you haven’t wronged us in any way.

You’ve done enough!

Everything will start to get better!”

“If it hadn’t been for your father’s impulsiveness, I wouldn’t have ended up partially paralyzed, confined to a bed all these years,”

Lin Zhenyu said with a bitter smile after a long sigh.

Lin Tian grasped the implied meaning in his father’s words, his eyes narrowing as he asked, “Impulsiveness?

Do you mean your legs weren’t injured in an accident?”

As far as Lin Tian knew, his parents and neighbors had often mentioned the injury as accidental.

And, Lin Tian also knew that their family was considered outsiders in Youlan Village.

His father had bravely come to the remote and impoverished Phoenix Town, starting from the grassroots level.

Later, he bought cheap land in Youlan Village, built a new house, and married his mother.

It was said that his mother wasn’t from Phoenix Town either, but the specifics were unclear; his parents never spoke of it.

After his father became the Director of the town government office, they thought better days were ahead.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred: the stairs of the government office building collapsed, leaving his father paralyzed, and naturally, he resigned from his job.

All of this, Lin Tian knew clearly.

But now, his father’s words implied there was a hidden truth!

“I didn’t want to tell you about this originally, but now that you’re grown up, I think you should know.

It might prepare you for when you go out into society,”

Lin Zhenyu sipped his drink and said with a weighty tone, “The truth is, what happened back then might not have been an accident.

Initially, some guys were planning to embezzle poverty relief funds.

I couldn’t stand it, so I reported them.

They got arrested.

Afterwards, I landed in the Director’s seat.

But soon after, those government building stairs, which were just fine before, suddenly collapsed—oddly enough, it happened only when I was on duty.

The police came to investigate, and Deputy Chief Elder Liu Zi told me in secret that someone had tampered with the stairs!”

“If it weren’t for my recklessness, all three of you could be living comfortably now!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s gaze turned cold, a murderous intent rising in his heart as he silently noted the matter.

Lin Zhenyu paused, then continued, “But, haha…

My son has grown up and even brought such a beautiful girlfriend home!

Everything will start to get better!”

“Heh, Dad, let’s put the past behind us for now!”

Seeing his father’s joyous laughter, Lin Tian comforted him once more, saying, “But those three people who came by earlier, what was that about?

Is there a problem with our family’s shop in town?”

Lin Tian was aware of the family’s shop.

It was the small storefront of just seven or eight square meters, in a street-facing location, that his father had bought in Phoenix Town in his mother’s name when he first arrived.

Using it for building a residence would have been too cramped, especially since it was street-facing, not worth it.

So, his mother used it to run a small business, selling various trinkets, essentially a general store.

“Hmph, isn’t it because of that Long Xing in town, wanting to take over all the stores on Baiyi Road to build some Entertainment City?”

Lin Zhenyu snorted coldly, saying, “The owners of the other shops already agreed, only our family didn’t.

But those shop owners, they’ve been coerced too!

It’s utterly despicable!”

Long Xing?

It seemed like the big shot of Phoenix Town, no wonder three thuggish fellows came to intimidate them.

“Didn’t you report it to the police?”

Lin Tian’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked.

“Son, this society is more complicated than you think!

If calling the police was useful, we wouldn’t be in such trouble!

That Long Xing has the power to cover the sky with one hand in Phoenix Town, do you think he’s afraid of a few guys at the police station?”

Lin Zhenyu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

So, if calling the police is useless, then I’ll have to use my fists, an eye for an eye!

Lin Tian scoffed silently to himself.

“Forget it, if it really comes down to it, we’ll just transfer the ownership.

What can you do when faced with someone more powerful?”

Lin Zhenyu sighed and then, full of expectation, he asked, “By the way, son, how did you do on your college entrance exam?”

“Do I need to tell you who my father is?

Of course, I got a full score!”

Lin Tian said, patting his chest and smiling in an attempt to lighten his father’s worries.

“Cut it out, be serious!

I know every scar on your body.

Stop bragging!”

Lin Zhenyu said sternly, scolding him.

Seeing his father wasn’t really angry, Lin Tian smiled and said, “Dad, it’s really a full score!

If you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?

If I really got a full score, you have to agree to one of my requests!

If not, I’ll listen to you from now on!”

“Ah, you rascal, I’d be satisfied if you got into a decent college!”

Lin Zhenyu laughed wryly, but as he became more excited, his face showed great interest.

“But now that I’ve taken your bet, I want to see just how many points you really scored!”

“Okay then!”

Lin Tian’s expression changed as he took out his mobile phone, ready to show his father his exam score.

“Enough dilly-dallying, hand it over directly to me!”

Lin Zhenyu eagerly snatched the mobile phone and admission ticket from Lin Tian’s hand and began to check the score himself.

Shortly after,

Lin Zhenyu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the phone, “Son, could there be a problem with the website?

Let me check again!”

He checked several times more.

Full score!

Still a full score!

“Son, is this true?

This is damn awesome!

Haha…”

Lin Zhenyu’s face became flushed with joy as he burst into laughter, “Come on, tell me what you want, what do you want to buy?

Your old man agrees!

Even if it means borrowing money!”

“What’s got you two so excited?

Don’t lift the roof off the house…”

After his father’s laughter, the teasing chiding of his mother suddenly came from outside.

“Heh, let’s not tell your mother about this for now, we’ll give her a surprise when the admission notice arrives!”

Lin Zhenyu said in excitement, almost childlike, whispering, “So, tell me, what do you want?”

“Dad, I want to heal your leg!

I learned some massage techniques and Acupuncture Technique from an old practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Bin City, and I think they will definitely have an effect on your leg!”

Lin Tian’s face turned serious as he earnestly said, “Dad, you promised, no backsies!”

“You little rascal, it was all for this!

If your old man knows you care, that’s enough!

This leg has been seen by so many doctors, and it’s already hopeless, the nerve damage means paralysis for life!

Now, I see that you’re trying to persuade me by using your grades against me…”

Lin Zhenyu sighed, hesitatingly preparing to refuse, but seeing Lin Tian’s earnest demeanor, and remembering his promise to fulfill the request, he changed his mind and said, “Alright, alright…

it’s already like this, might as well let you try!

It’s like trying to resurrect a dead horse!

Your old man is curious to see if you really did pick up a bit of Traditional Chinese Medicine…”

Hearing this, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been worried about how stubborn his father was before coming back, troubling himself over how to persuade him to undergo treatment.

Now, at last, his father had agreed, probably because he was so happy to see his son score full marks on the high school examination and had just agreed on the spot.

In the past, his father’s legs had always been his biggest concern, a constant source of depression.

Now, seeing his father’s happy face, Lin Tian smiled and said, “Dad, you’ll definitely be able to stand up.

I’ll start the Acupuncture on you first thing tomorrow morning!”
