"Ahem. Well, you two should head back first," Lin Kuang said, a smile in his eyes.

At his words, Xu Yingying and Yao Wenwen both rolled their eyes at him. It was a useless thing to say. Suppressing her embarrassment, Xu Yingying motioned for Yao Wenwen to drive off. Watching them leave, Lin Kuang’s mood began to improve.

He glanced at the time; it was almost afternoon. Lin Kuang returned to his room to wait for news from the Wumi Building.

Around two in the afternoon, his grandfather woke up, and Lin Kuang accompanied him on a walk around the courtyard. When the old man grew tired, Lin Kuang massaged his legs and shoulders, making him very happy. If his grandfather was in a good mood, he might even live a bit longer. That was what Lin Kuang wanted to see most.

By five o’clock, Lin Guodong had also returned. The family of three ate dinner together. Although it was a small group, the atmosphere was warm with the feeling of home. After the meal, Lin Kuang chatted with his grandfather and father before heading back to his room.

Back in his room, Lin Kuang glanced at his phone and noticed a missed call from Li Rui, the person in charge of the Wumi Building in Yanjing. He picked up his phone and returned the call.

In no time, Li Rui answered. "Mr. Lin, hello." His voice was quite respectful. After all, he knew Lin Kuang’s identity and naturally deferred to him.

"Yes, hello Mr. Li. Did you call because you found information on the Chu Family?" Lin Kuang asked with a smile, his voice filled with anticipation.

"Yes, Mr. Lin. We’ve found a substantial amount of evidence regarding the Chu Family’s crimes. This should be more than enough for you to do what you wish," Li Rui said, also smiling. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Good. Where is the information?" Hearing this, Lin Kuang’s mood lifted instantly. If I can get control of the Chu Family, there might be some unexpected discoveries.

"Are you at home? If so, I’ll have someone deliver the documents to you right away," Li Rui promptly offered.

"Yes, I’m at home," Lin Kuang confirmed.

"Excellent. I’ll arrange for someone to bring them over immediately," Li Rui said again.

Lin Kuang agreed with a smile, and the two hung up.

Just as he ended the call, the roar of an engine sounded from outside the main gate. Lin Kuang was slightly stunned. So quickly? Wait, no, that must be Brother Tang and the others, right? he muttered to himself as he turned and left the room.

As Lin Kuang suspected, the visitors were indeed Tang Yu, Yi Feng, Zheng An, and Zhang Chao.

"Lin Kuang, sorry we’re a bit late. Something came up with the troops, and we just finished handling it," Tang Yu said with a smile upon seeing him.

"No problem at all. I’m waiting for something myself, which should be here in about half an hour," Lin Kuang replied with a smile.

"Alright, then we’ll wait," Tang Yu responded cheerfully.

Lin Kuang nodded and led them into a room. The five of them smoked and chatted, reminiscing about funny stories from their time in the Wolf Special Forces. They laughed heartily, clearly enjoying themselves immensely.

About twenty minutes later, the revving of an engine sounded outside again. A black Audi had pulled up to the gate.

"Brother Tang, you guys wait here a moment. I’m going to grab something. I’ll be right back," Lin Kuang said with a smile before turning and leaving the room.

A man carrying a briefcase stepped out of the Audi at the gate. Spotting Lin Kuang, he studied him for a moment to confirm his identity before hurrying over.

"Mr. Lin, hello. Here are the documents you requested." The man bowed slightly and handed the briefcase to Lin Kuang.

Lin Kuang smiled and took it. "Thank you. Please pass my thanks to Mr. Li when you get back."

"Yes, Mr. Lin. I’ll take my leave now," the man said.

Lin Kuang nodded, and the man departed respectfully. Watching him leave, Lin Kuang returned to the room.

"Brother Tang, everyone, we can go now," Lin Kuang announced with a smile.

Tang Yu nodded, and the group of five drove off.

They didn’t go to a luxurious restaurant but instead headed to the food stalls on Yanjing’s snack street.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve been here," Lin Kuang said with a touch of nostalgia as he surveyed the surroundings. This used to be their favorite spot. Drinking cold beer and eating grilled skewers—the feeling was just incredible.

"Yeah, since you left, we’ve hardly come here either. Tonight, we don’t go home sober!" Tang Yu declared with a hearty laugh.

Lin Kuang, Yi Feng, and the others all roared in agreement.

They found a table, ordered some food, and ate while they talked. All five of them could hold their liquor well. Nobody kept track of how much they drank, continuing late into the night before finally calling it quits. They were all staggering, their faces flushed red. They had all overdone it.

In reality, they could have used the True Qi within their bodies to expel the alcohol. However, they chose not to; otherwise, the drinking wouldn’t have been any fun.

When the night ended, Tang Yu and the others found a nearby hotel to stay in, while Lin Kuang took a taxi to the Chu Family’s traditional courtyard. After getting out of the car, Lin Kuang circulated the True Qi in his body to expel the alcohol, instantly sobering up. He checked the time; it was nearly two in the morning. A cold smile flashed across his lips.

The Chu Family, huh? It’s time we had a proper talk.

With that thought, Lin Kuang stepped into the Chu Family’s traditional courtyard.

"Stop! Who goes there?!" Two guards immediately moved to block his path.

"Inform Chu Xiong that Lin Kuang of the Lin Family is here for a visit!" Lin Kuang said calmly. Chu Xiong was Chu Zhongtian’s father and the current Family Head of the Chu Family.

The two guards were taken aback by his words. Then, one of them asked cautiously, "You... you’re the grandson of the Lin Family’s old master, Lin Kuang?"

"That’s right. I am," Lin Kuang replied coolly.

His words startled them. They didn’t understand the intricacies of politics, but they were well aware of the bad blood between the Chu and Lin families. Lin Kuang’s sudden visit made them uneasy. After all, they were just low-ranking soldiers, and it would be all too easy for someone like Lin Kuang to deal with them.

"Young—Young Master Lin, please wait a moment. I’ll go and notify them immediately," one of the guards stammered before hurrying into the courtyard.

Lin Kuang stood calmly at the entrance, waiting. He was in no hurry; he had plenty of time.

Nearly five minutes later, the guard ran back out.

"Young Master Lin, the Chief invites you inside," the guard said with great respect.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded. "Lead the way."
