Upon hearing Lin Chong's cold suggestion, they exchanged a glance and frowned slightly...

Soon, they turned to look at Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er, who wore expressions of composure...

As for Lin Ling'er, they were willing to trust her, but when it came to Hu Xiaobei, they had some doubts...

Lin Ling'er noticed their gaze, her eye twitched, and she quickly spoke up, "Uncles, we're really not bad people. We just want to help cure Uncle!"

Lin Ling'er was speaking the truth now!

Previously, upon learning that Uncle was ill, she wanted Hu Xiaobei to take a look...

Because she knew Hu Xiaobei's medical skill was excellent...

Glancing at Lin Ling'er, Lin Chong sneered, "Nonsense! You want to cure him? I think you're just taking advantage of the situation for your own gain!"

Lin Chong knew he had to keep slandering them incessantly. Only in this way could he achieve his unspeakable goal.

"You..."

Hearing Lin Chong's words, Lin Ling'er was so angry that she nearly fainted!

After a while, she finally calmed down, "You're lying! You... You're really disgusting!"

Lin Ling'er had looked down upon Lin Chong before, and now, she despised him even more!

Thinking about how he used to be her brother, Lin Ling'er felt discomfort all over.

Feeling Lin Ling'er's disgust, Lin Chong sneered.

"I make people disgusted? It's you who are disgusting! If you've got no ulterior motives, then surrender now so we can investigate clearly! Rest assured, if you're really not bad people, we absolutely won't unjustly accuse you!"

"In your dreams!"

"See, there's clearly a problem! Uncles, we really can't hesitate any longer. Just grab them now!"

At the end of his speech, Lin Chong once again looked at the elders of the family, full of urgency...

The few elders exchanged glances, looked at Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er, and said, "Lin Chong makes sense, your identities are indeed questionable! Now, you should surrender! Rest assured, as long as you have no sinister intentions, we absolutely won't harm you!"

"Yes! We're just doing some investigation!"

They knew it was now a crucial transition period for the Lin Family, so not a single mistake could be afforded...

Hearing their words, Lin Chong laughed maniacally!

"Competing with me? You're nothing!"

At this moment, Lin Chong was wildly ecstatic because he knew he had them cornered...

...

The reason he was slandering them recklessly was that he truly feared Hu Xiaobei's medical skill!

In his view, since Hu Xiaobei managed to cure Lin Ling'er's poison, it showed true skill.

Under such circumstances, if he really got close to Uncle, he might just discover what's really going on...

Once he figured it out, everyone would know about the poisoning he did!

By then, he would surely die a miserable death, so whatever happens, he absolutely couldn't let him get close...

"It seems these uncles are genuinely considering the family's interests!"

"Exactly!"

The young onlookers heard their cold proposal and sighed silently...

They knew these uncles truly sided with Lin Chong...

The reason for this was because he was soon to become the future Family Head of the Lin Family...

...

"Uncles, Uncles, we..."

Hearing Lin Ling'er still trying to explain nervously, Hu Xiaobei quickly raised his hand!

After stopping her, Hu Xiaobei spoke softly, "Sister, can't you see? They don't believe us at all. We should just leave!"

"Leave?"

With such a counter-question, Lin Ling'er looked at Hu Xiaobei in amazement, clearly not understanding his intentions...

Feeling Lin Ling'er's astonishment, Hu Xiaobei nodded gently and explained again, "Yes, leave! Since they don't believe you, we don't need to stay any longer. Let them fend for themselves!"

Hu Xiaobei knew Lin Ling'er really cared about the Lin Family...

But now, there was really no need to care anymore because it was completely unworthy!

"But..."

"No buts! They were the ones who were unkind first!"

Hearing such decisive words, Lin Ling'er paused for a second, then soon nodded lightly...

Indeed!

Since the whole family didn't trust her anymore, staying really meant nothing...

Might as well heed Hu Xiaobei's advice and let them fend for themselves!

Upon realizing these things, she gradually regained her free spirit...

Seeing Lin Ling'er nod, Hu Xiaobei knew she had thoroughly despaired of these people...

He glanced at them indifferently, Hu Xiaobei spoke softly, "Alright, sister, let's go!"

While speaking, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Lin Chong...

This person previously wanted to harm Lin Ling'er and was already on Hu Xiaobei's blacklist, so Hu Xiaobei would soon return secretly to make him pay a painful price...

Watching Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er prepare to leave, Lin Chong laughed...

To him, he had won.

They left with their tails between their legs...

With such thoughts, his smile suddenly vanished quickly.

The reason was that he remembered the previous humiliations from Hu Xiaobei...

In that instant, a surge of fury rushed to his heart...

"Damn it! Can't let him leave this easily, absolutely not! Otherwise, I'll be the laughing stock for a long time!"

With such thoughts, he stepped forward expressionlessly...

"Stop there!"

With these words, Lin Chong became the center of attention for everyone instantly...

"Lin Chong, since they want to leave, let them go! No need to keep them!"

The few elders frowned slightly upon hearing Lin Chong's words...

They knew Lin Ling'er was still part of the Lin Family, so arresting them wasn't good. Now, she wants to leave, there's really no need to do anything anymore...

Upon hearing the elders' words, Lin Chong quickly turned his head.

"Uncles, letting a tiger return to the mountain will leave future troubles! This Hu Xiaobei evidently hates us now, so we must hold him!"

Upon hearing this, they frowned slightly...

Seeing them still not agreeing, Lin Chong took a deep breath and continued, "Uncles, this Hu Xiaobei might really be sent by another family, so we must figure out his identity. Otherwise, he might bring unprecedented damage to the family."

Lin Chong knew they cared more about the family...

So, as long as he capitalized on this point, he'd surely make gains...

After speaking, Lin Chong looked at them like this, very soon, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips because this moment, their gaze harbored a trace of seriousness!

Lin Chong knew, even though they weren't convinced Hu Xiaobei was sent by another family...

But that didn't matter, as long as they had a shred of doubt, they couldn't let them leave easily...

With such thoughts, he heard a deep voice speak decisively, "Wait!"

Hu Xiaobei halted his steps, turned his head emotionlessly...

In the next second, Hu Xiaobei shifted his gaze to Lin Chong, making Lin Chong's body tremble...

He didn't know why, but suddenly felt his soul fluttering...

"Damn, could it be... could it be because of his gaze?"

The moment this thought emerged, he quickly glanced at Hu Xiaobei, instantaneously feeling like he'd been electrocuted...

"So terrifying, that gaze is terrifying!"

With such thoughts, he regretted stopping Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er!

The thought arose instantly, he quickly shook his head forcefully.

"Once you start, you can't stop halfway! Since I've offended him, might as well go all the way!"

With such thoughts, he raised his head again, stared back into Hu Xiaobei's icy gaze...

Having adapted to Hu Xiaobei's gaze, he moved his neck a bit and spoke nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Your expression looks terrible, did I hit a sore spot?"
