Chapter 252: Chapter 272: If He Hadn’t Run Fast, They Would’ve Been Wiped Out Together! _1

"This is my brother, Zuo Lin."

"Brother, this is Lin Chen, my friend."

Zuo Lin was tall and slender with a refined temperament, appearing somewhat like a weak scholar. However, from his every move, Lin Chen could tell that not only was he a cultivator, but he was also a master at it.

Moreover, a cultivator with mediocre talent could not become a family heir.

Cultivation was the foundation of the family!

Zuo Lin smiled and shook hands with Lin Chen, his attitude modest. However, Lin Chen could feel the hidden scrutiny in his eyes.

This scrutiny was not for a stranger’s vigilance but for an elder brother’s guardedness and wariness towards a close male friend of his sister’s.

Lin Chen’s expression remained natural as he allowed Zuo Lin to size him up.

If Lin Chen hadn’t already slept with Zuo Yingying, Lin Chen would probably say directly, "Don’t worry about me, I’m married and have a wife." But now, even if Zuo Lin knew his situation, Lin Chen still lacked the confidence to say this.

What if Zuo Lin said, "You’re married but still getting intimate with my sister"? Lin Chen wouldn’t even know how to respond to that.

As the three of them sat down and food and drinks were served, Lin Chen picked up his wine glass and said, "Mr. Zuo, I apologize for the trouble I caused with the pharmaceutical factory’s raw materials issue."

Zuo Lin laughed, "Mr. Lin, you’re too polite. When Yingying asked for help, I, as her brother, had to satisfy her, right?"

With Zuo Lin’s response to Lin Chen, he was also telling Lin Chen that he had helped because of his sister’s face, and that it had nothing to do with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn’t mind. Expressing his gratitude was merely a polite gesture, while whether the other party cared or not was up to them.

After some small talk and dining, Zuo Lin got to the point, "Yingying mentioned that you have something to discuss with me?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Before we discuss that, I’d like to ask about the Zuo family’s attitude towards the Chu family."

Although Lin Chen had asked Zuo Yingying this question before, Zuo Yingying, after all, was a woman and not involved in family affairs. As the family heir, Zuo Lin would naturally have a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the situation, as well as a deeper insight into things beneath the surface.

Zuo Lin stared intently at Lin Chen, "You want to deal with the Chu family?"

From Zuo Yingying’s words, Zuo Lin knew that Lin Chen was a master of cultivation and racing and seemed to have excellent medical skills. After being targeted by the Chu family, it was reasonable for him to want to retaliate against them.

Lin Chen just smiled and did not answer, instead staring at Zuo Lin, waiting for his reply.

After two seconds of silence, Zuo Lin laughed, "I know you get along very well with Yingying, but our Zuo family has no grievances with the Chu family. We might lend a hand for small matters, but we won’t do anything specifically against the Chu family. There’s no need to bring trouble upon ourselves."

Lin Chen laughed, "Even if it’s confirmed that the Chu family will be destroyed, the Zuo family still won’t take action, right?"

Both Zuo Lin and Zuo Yingying widened their eyes in shock, staring at Lin Chen.

Destroy the Chu family?

Just cutting off some raw materials, was such a small business move enough reason to destroy the Chu family?

Did they think the Chu family was like big Chinese cabbages that could be destroyed on a whim?

Zuo Yingying asked incredulously, "As a deeply rooted cultivation family, the Chu family can’t be destroyed just by defeating or killing a certain person. Moreover, once a move is made, their counterattack will also be very powerful. Besides, is a single business move really worth it?"

Lin Chen candidly replied, "My conflict with the Chu family is not just about cutting off their raw materials. When Chu Tianyu came to Pingjiang, he threatened our lives multiple times. I am determined to fight the Chu family to the death. This business move was just a test by the Chu family after I talked to Chu Songfeng on the phone."

Zuo Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Chu Jiaxue is from the Chu family, and this involves the Chu family’s internal strife from before. Are you helping your wife?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, I want to help her seek revenge and take back everything that belongs to her."

Lin Chen didn’t mention his own background, as he would only tell Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi about it.

Let everyone think that he was just helping Chu Jiaxue, so as not to create any complications.

Zuo Lin frowned, "In the end, Chu Jiaxue is still a Chu family member. How are you guys planning to wrap this up after dealing with the Chu family?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Once the Chu family has been removed from the list of cultivation families and those who should pay the price have done so, Chu Jiaxue can return to the Chu family and take control of what she should have while providing corresponding protection. I think the remaining members of the Chu family would accept it, as people always need to live, right?"

Zuo Lin chuckled, "If the Chu family fails, then everything would indeed fall into place. However, the Chu family is not that easy to deal with. Our Zuo family has no grievances with the Chu family, so there’s no need to get involved in this mess. Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, but I can’t help with this matter."

Lin Chen just laughed and raised his wine glass, "Alright, let’s drink then. Let’s pretend I never brought it up."

Zuo Lin looked at Lin Chen’s unwavering gaze and chuckled, "Judging by your confident appearance, Mr. Lin, it seems that you have quite a grasp on the situation."

Since the Zuo family didn’t want to get involved, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t reveal the situation with the other families to avoid any possible leaks.

"The Chu family is indeed deeply rooted, but they aren’t that hard to deal with. I killed Chu Tianyu’s personal bodyguard, Chen Huai, in Pingjiang. If it weren’t for Chu Tianyu’s quick escape, he would have been wiped out then and there. Isn’t he still living a good life now?"
