Hearing Lin Chong's urgent questioning, this henchman felt a slight embarrassment…

Soon, he whispered, "Originally, Lin Wei could have lived for another week, but before, the people we sent accidentally increased the dosage. So..."

Knowing the reason, he cursed angrily, "Useless, really useless! You can't even handle such a small task!"

At this moment, he really wanted to kill that fool, because he was truly about to ruin the entire plan...

Hearing Lin Chong's furious cursing, he said awkwardly, "Young master, I know you're angry right now, but there's no use in being angry at this point. The main thing is to think about how to deal with this!"

Hearing the henchman's quiet persuasion, he frowned slightly!

Lin Chong knew that he was right; saying anything now would be meaningless…

Because things had already come to this…

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the henchman and said coldly, "Hurry up and notify the external reinforcements! Tell them to quickly assemble and stand by as per the previous plan!"

"Already notified! They're on their way now!"

"Good, as long as we have these reinforcements, everything will be much easier!"

Seeing Lin Chong relax again, he hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Young master, I actually think there's no need for any reinforcements, because you are the most suitable candidate to succeed as the Family Head! Besides you, there's no suitable choice in the Lin Family. So, Lin Wei couldn't possibly choose anyone else!"

"I know that too! But what if Lin Wei acts irrationally? So having some backup is still necessary!"

Lin Chong knew he couldn't afford to lose…

So, he would rather prepare more than experience failure…

"That's true!"

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense. I've had a vague feeling of something being off recently, as if something bad is about to happen! Gather some people to keep watch outside, and at this critical moment, try not to let anyone in!"

"Yes, understood!"

After receiving the order, he quickly turned and ran…

"This is the final moment; I've calculated for so many years, and I absolutely cannot accept any mistakes!"

With a cold sneer, he turned and walked back into the crowd…

...

"Up ahead is my uncle's residence, we're..."

Lin Ling'er pointed to the hall in front, speaking softly, but before she could finish, her expression turned grim!

Because at that moment, she saw a dozen people walking out from a distance…

She immediately recognized the one leading them as Lin Chong's henchman…

"Well, well, I didn't expect it! You're… you're actually back! I really don't know whether to call you lucky or say you've walked right into the trap!"

When Lin Ling'er saw him, he also saw Lin Ling'er, and after a brief surprise, he started mocking immediately…

To be honest, seeing Lin Ling'er here now, he was genuinely surprised.

In his view, the luckiest thing Lin Ling'er should have done before was to find a place to hide!

Yet, she not only didn't do that but directly came out!

She was truly seeking her own doom!

Hearing his mockery, Lin Ling'er said coldly, "Walking into the trap? Haha! This time, it's your dead end that's come!"

Hearing Lin Ling'er's confident words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly…

Soon, he calmed down again because he remembered Lin Ling'er was no longer the person surrounded by an aura!

Now that she had lost the Ice Marrow Body, she'd become ordinary…

So there was indeed nothing to worry about concerning her…

"Sharp-tongued, I hope you'll still be as sharp-tongued after you're caught!"

With a cold sneer, he looked around at his followers and said coldly, "Seize her!"

"Yes!"

The people quickly complied!

They were originally Lin Chong's thugs, so they had no resistance to such orders…

Watching those people charge over with sneers, Lin Ling'er squinted her eyes…

If she were alone facing so many people now, she'd really be utterly panicked!

But now, she was not alone, so she just quietly watched them come closer.

At this moment, Lin Chong's henchman's face gradually turned ugly because he noticed Lin Ling'er's expression remained calm.

"Damn it, could it be she really has some powerful trump card? But… but how is that possible!"

He knew Lin Ling'er had lost the Ice Marrow Body…

Meaning her greatest asset was gone…

Therefore, Lin Ling'er couldn't possibly pose any threat, so she should be very panicked right now…

Yet, not only was Lin Ling'er not panicked, but she was also very composed.

Unacceptable!

He truly couldn't accept it…

While he was puzzled, Lin Ling'er looked at Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, I can't help anymore, so… so I have to entrust it to you."

"Haha, no problem!"

Responding softly, Xiaobei naturally took a few steps forward.

Soon, Xiaobei had shielded her completely.

Seeing Xiaobei voluntarily step forward, Lin Chong's henchman's expression changed…

At that moment, he finally understood where Lin Ling'er's confidence came from.

Staring fiercely at Xiaobei, he said coldly, "You… who are you?"

"Who am I? Does it concern you?"

"Does it concern me? Of course, it does. Whether it's me or Lin Ling'er, we are all members of the Lin Family, so what we're dealing with now is a family matter. I advise you not to court death, otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

Threat!

He didn't know Xiaobei's strength, but he decided to threaten him first…

As long as he could instill fear, things would be much easier.

"In for a world of trouble? Too bad, I'm also part of the Lin Family because she's my girlfriend!"

Speaking calmly, Xiaobei looked at Lin Ling'er standing behind him…

Standing behind Xiaobei, Lin Ling'er already knew Xiaobei would say this, but hearing it, her heart still fluttered for a moment…

"Girlfriend?"

"That's right! I'm his girlfriend, so now he counts as part of the Lin Family!"

"The Family Head doesn't know about you having a boyfriend, so it doesn't count!"

After saying this, he glared coldly at Xiaobei, spitefully growling, "I don't know who you are, but you'd better get lost, or you won't even have the chance to leave later!"

As he spoke, he signaled again, and instantly, those people quickly surrounded them…

He now thought it through—he needed to overpower Xiaobei with momentum…

In his view, with so many people on his side, just a little pressure would be enough to completely fluster this young man…

Honestly, if it were someone else, there'd be no problem with his plan!

But unfortunately, he was now facing Xiaobei…

Xiaobei was absolutely fearless…

So everything he was doing was unnecessary!

"Indeed, someone will have no chance to leave here, but that person will never be me!"

"Alright! Alright! Alright! If you're not going to listen to the good advice, let's see how you leave!"

With a spiteful cold laugh, he looked at the surrounding people and barked, "Don't hold back, subdue them completely in the shortest time possible!"

"Yes!"

Quickly responding, they glanced at Xiaobei and then, sneering, charged at him!

"Fast indeed! It seems they really can cultivate!"

As they accelerated, Xiaobei spoke slightly surprised…

Of course, surprise aside…

The necessary reactions weren't lacking from Xiaobei…

Just like now, Xiaobei suddenly stepped back.

At the same time, Xiaobei had a dozen silver needles flashing with cold light in his hand…
