Chapter 219 Chaos

In his blazing anger, he lashed out with a random strike that smashed into the face of the man in black. Blood spattered in all directions as the leader of the black-clad men fell to the ground, rolling in agony and crying out in pain.

Upon seeing Lin Wanrong starting the fight, Xiao Feng immediately shouted, "Brothers, strike these dogs"

Seeing their Brother San bravely initiate the fight and take down the enemy's leader with a single punch, the Xiao household servants surged with fervor. "Strike them!" Hundreds of them yelled in unison, holding various weapons and charging at the members of the Black Dragon Society.

It had been a long time since Lin Wanrong had enjoyed such a brawl. He bellowed, "Brothers, if any of these bastards dare fight back, beat them to a pulp. Make sure they remember, the Xiao family is not to be trifled with. We have our Eldest Miss and Madam supporting us. Charge, everyone!"

His words were extremely provocative, and the servants of the Xiao family were stirred to a boiling passion. As servants, they spent their days serving others and rarely had an opportunity to explode like this. This battle was bright and just, motivating everyone. Under the warm gaze of the Madam and the Eldest Miss, and under the direct leadership of Brother San, fighting such a battle would surely make them famous. They would show Jinling who dared to bully the Xiao family.

Naturally, Lin Wanrong was at the forefront. While the brothers of the Xiao family were fervent and united, their combat experience was extremely lacking. They needed Lin Wanrong to clear the path and instill confidence in them. Therefore, he targeted the ringleaders of the Black Dragon Society, picking the toughest bones to crack.

His heart was aflame with anger, showing no mercy in his blows. In a couple of moves, his opponents would either have broken hands or legs. The servants following him picked up the ready-made victories, beating the fallen enemies with delight.

In a single breath, Lin Wanrong took down a dozen tough characters from the Black Dragon Society, making him an unstoppable force. The Xiao family's momentum was even greater. Xiao Feng smashed a chamber pot over a thug's body and yelled, "Brothers, don't let these scumbags escape."

With Brother San single-handedly taking out half of the Black Dragon Society, the other rogues had no courage to stay. They turned to run.

The Xiao family servants were many and powerful. Four or five of them could take on one opponent. There was no chance for their enemies to escape. For a moment, the field was filled with howls and cries, the servants' faces glowing red with excitement as they brandished their kitchen utensils. Following Brother San even made a fight this thrilling.

Having vented his anger, Lin Wanrong saw a group of men rushing towards them from a distance. There must have been one or two hundred of them, all in black, led by none other than Wu Zhenghu of the Black Dragon Society.

"Who dares to oppose my Black Dragon Society?" Wu Zhenghu shouted loudly. His two hundred men joined him in a threatening chorus.

Damn it, even the underworld was this rampant. The city of Jinling was indeed in chaos. Despite the fight going on for so long, no one from the city government showed up, surely it was Cheng De's doing again.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Wanrong ordered the Xiao family's servants to retreat back to the courtyard. Just then, a tumultuous uproar came from behind Wu Zhenghu. A robust voice shouted loudly, "Defeat the Black Dragon Society, chop off Wu Zhenghu, brothers, charge"

Damn, this Qingshan has quite the knack for timing, Lin Wanrong thought to himself, his heart swelling with joy. Let chaos reign. If I get the chance to take down Wu Zhenghu today, it's as good as cutting off one of Cheng De's arms.

Dong Qingshan and Li Beidou were at the front, leading a group of two to three hundred brothers from Hung Hing. The two factions clashed in the alley. This was a real gang fight, a scene straight out of a movie that Lin Wanrong had always imagined. It was even more intense than he had anticipated.

Hung Hing was at the height of its power, and today they had come specifically for Wu Zhenghu. Whether it was in terms of numbers or morale, they had the upper hand. Lin Wanrong felt a thrill of satisfaction. After eliminating Wu Zhenghu, then Cheng De, who would dare to bully Qiaoqiao and Old Dong in Jinling city?

The servants of the Xiao family had already retreated back into the perfume workshop. The Eldest Miss held on to Lin Wanrong, quickly glanced at him, and whispered, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Back when I was trapped in the midst of the White Lotus cult, killing the enemy was like picking something out of a pocket. These small-time thugs are no match for me."

The Eldest Miss giggled at him, and with a mock scold said, "You're always bragging. They may be small-time thugs, but you're a big-time thug, leading our Xiao family's servants into a fight. Wait till I see how I'll punish you."

"Hey, miss, I'm fighting for the Xiao family," Lin Wanrong laughed. "Not only that, but through handling this sudden incident, the unity of our Xiao family has also been elevated a notch. Even if I don't deserve any merit, I should at least get some recognition for my hard work."

"Brother San, Brother San!" Si De limped over, his head wrapped up like a panda, "Luckily you came just in time, or else our perfume workshop might have been destroyed by these men."

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder, "Si De, you've done well, making your Brother San proud. The Eldest Miss said, when we get back, everyone's efforts will be rewarded. We won't let our brothers down."

"Thanks, Eldest Miss," the members of the Xiao family who had worked through the night were waiting for this very sentence.

Since the moment Lin San entered, Madame Xiao had been fretting, a trace of worry on her beautiful face. The Eldest Miss tugged at Lin Wanrong's sleeve, "Mother is terribly worried about the events of today. She suspects that someone's behind this. Do you have any solution?"

A solution? Wasn't I just thinking about that? Lin Wanrong approached Madame Xiao and smiled, "Madam, are you worried about tonight's incident?"

Madame Xiao glanced at him and sighed, "Lin San, thank you. If you hadn't arrived in time today, I fear our Xiao family would have been finished."

"Madam, you're being too formal. All I did was my duty," Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Yushuang is my wife, you are my mother-in-law. If someone bullies you, as a dutiful son-in-law, I should certainly step up. Besides, I own half of this workshop, so both in terms of public duty and private interest, I have no reason to evade."

"Lin San, what do you think about these people? Who are they? They are so audacious, brazenly burglarizing homes in front of everyone in Jinling city. Don't they fear the authorities?" The Madam spat out, "It's completely lawless."

Lin Wanrong spoke solemnly, "Madam, there's an old saying that it is better to struggle against a gentleman than to fight with a petty man. From my point of view, the events of today were deliberately incited by such petty men, seeking to ruin the foundation of our Xiao family."

Madam Xiao glanced at him and sighed, "How could I not know that? Recently, our Xiao family has encountered a streak of misfortunes. First, our business management faltered and we were almost taken advantage of by the Tao family. Then, Yushuang was kidnapped, and it was only after several hardships that she safely returned. Then came our trip to Hangzhou, where we faced further tribulations. Despite these adversities, we've managed to turn danger into safety each time, and even managed to rise to a higher level. Now, the reputation of our Xiao family in Jinling is at its peak, almost equivalent to the old master's time. Lin San, your contribution is paramount."

Good grief, Lin Wanrong thought, She is elevating my status without reason. Is she planning to play hard-to-get tricks again? He sneaked a glance at Madam Xiao. Her delicate brows relaxed, her face as white as jade tinged with a soft pink. When she smiled, two small dimples appeared. Her cherry lips opened and closed as she spoke, her chest gently rising and falling, exuding an indescribable charm. The mature elegance and noble grace she possessed were something a naive young girl couldn't match.

Madam is truly beautiful, Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. The Eldest Miss hurriedly tugged his sleeve and said, "Lin San, what's the matter? Mother is speaking to you."

"Oh, oh." Lin Wanrong regained his senses and quickly asked, "What did the Madam say?"

The Eldest Miss gave him a glance, "You, mother is speaking to you and you are not listening properly. I wonder what you are thinking."

Lin Wanrong laughed bitterly, "Miss, you can't blame me for that. When the Madam stands next to you, she looks as beautiful as your older sister. Anyone who sees you two would be stunned."

"Lin San, what are you blabbering about?" The Madam's face flushed slightly as she said with a helpless laugh, "Your eloquence has been well-noted by our staff, but you're not allowed to flatter us in the future."

Madam Xiao was educated and refined, gentle and generous. Despite being a widow for many years, she had a spotless reputation and lived a life of utmost integrity. Though she didn't interact much with Lin Wanrong, she knew of his temperament and dismissed his jests without taking them seriously.

Xiao Yuruo laughed and said, "Mother is naturally youthful and beautiful, well-known near and far. She doesn't need your flattery. I think you are afraid of her punishment and deliberately saying nice things to make amends."

Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and said, "The one who knows me best is Eldest Miss. Could Madam repeat what she said earlier?"

Madam Xiao responded with a stern expression, "Today's trouble, although caused by petty men, should also serve as a wake-up call for us. Our Xiao family has recently been too prominent, easily inviting envy. Lin San, Yuruo, you must be cautious in your actions in the future, and not give people any handles to grab."

Lin Wanrong thought to himself, If others are targeting the Xiao family, you can't avoid it by being careful. Madam Xiao sighed, "This time, thankfully Lin San arrived in time, preventing a major disaster. But I'm worried if this continues. Especially after you two go to the capital, if there are any changes in Jinling City, where will I find someone to discuss matters with?"

This was also a concern of Lin Wanrong's, and his expression became somber. Madam Xiao sighed helplessly, her voice low as she said, "Our Xiao family... we're still lacking a man who can take on responsibilities."

Madam Xiao's gaze fell on Lin Wanrong, intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. What did Madam mean by this? Is she considering betrothing the second miss to me? If she has something to say, why not just say it straight? What is the point of being so secretive? She should know that I'm quite sought after. If she doesnt act, I might be snatched up by someone else.

While he was immersed in these thoughts, a sound of hurried horse hooves approached from outside, stopping at the workshop door. A frantic female voice rang out from outside, "Sister Yuruo, are you inside?"
