Chapter 145: Is it Unexpected? Rebirth
The next day, at the Shen family villa.
“Are you leaving already? Why not stay for a few more days?” Lin Wanxi looked at Lin Wanrou and tried to persuade her to stay. The two sisters only saw each other a few times a year. She had hoped to spend more time together, but Lin Wanrou was leaving so soon.
“Something happened at home, I need to go back as soon as possible…” Lin Wanrou glanced at Lin Nan and made up an excuse. She really didn’t know what trouble her son would get into if they stayed in Linjiang City any longer.
Noticing his mother’s strange look, Lin Nan frowned but remained silent. He had wanted to leave for a while and didn’t feel the need to explain himself.
“Alright, but remember to visit me when you have time.” Lin Wanxi sighed and didn’t press further, letting Lin Wanrou and her son leave. Linjiang City and Tianhai City were close, so she could visit her anytime.
After Lin Wanrou and her son left the Shen family villa, Lin Wanxi also returned inside. In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che sat on the sofa, bored, thinking about how to deal with Chu Tian. As he pondered, the ringing phone interrupted his thoughts. Seeing an unfamiliar number, he answered it without hesitation, suspecting it was his bodyguard.
“Young master, the Lin Nan you asked us to monitor is leaving Linjiang City today.”
“Where is he now?” Jiang Che raised his brows curiously.
“Heading towards Linjiang International Airport. Should we stop him?” The bodyguard asked respectfully.
“Stop him and bring him to me. Don’t accidentally hurt the driver or Lin Wanrou.” Jiang Che instructed, considering Shen Qingqiu’s relationship, he didn’t want to harm them, just Lin Nan.
“Understood, young master.” On a small road leading to Linjiang International Airport, the Shen family’s driver was driving a Maybach slowly. Lin Nan sat in the front seat, occasionally glancing out the window, feeling uneasy.
The Maybach was cruising smoothly when a few unmarked Bentleys suddenly blocked their way. Several men in black sunglasses stepped out.
The driver was stunned and about to reverse when more Bentleys blocked them from behind. More men in black approached them.
Seeing this, Lin Nan frowned. He didn’t need to guess; these men must have been sent by Jiang Che, but Jiang Che daring to stop him in broad daylight was unexpected.
“Xiao Nan, are these your enemies?” Lin Wanrou looked nervously at the approaching men, her fingers tightly clasped together.
“Mom, don’t worry. They’re just a bunch of scumbags…” Lin Nan smiled contemptuously and got out of the car. With his peak Dark Energy cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of a few bodyguards.
“Be careful…” Lin Wanrou said, despite her son’s recent troubles, she couldn’t stay angry at him forever.
“Did Jiang Che send you?” Lin Nan glanced at the men in black, frowning. He could sense their terrifying auras, indicating they were not ordinary people.
“If you know what’s good for you, don’t resist. You can avoid some pain.” One of the men in black said coldly, ignoring Lin Nan’s question.
“You really think I’m an easy target!” Angry at their dismissive attitude, Lin Nan charged at the man, aiming a punch at his face.
The man caught Lin Nan’s fist effortlessly and slapped him to the ground. Lin Nan, covering his swollen cheek, looked at the man in black in shock. This guy’s cultivation was higher than his!
“Take him down!” The leader instructed his men. Jiang Che had said not to kill, but anything else was allowed.
The men eagerly approached Lin Nan. Although they were only at the early Innate stage, it was enough to handle Lin Nan.
“Ah… stop hitting…” Lin Nan’s screams echoed down the road, sounding desperate.
The leader glanced at the Maybach. The driver was terrified, and Lin Wanrou was not much better, but she got out of the car and faced them angrily.
“You’ll regret this! My Lin family won’t let this go, and my sister, the Shen family’s wife, will not ignore this!” Despite her nerves, Lin Wanrou tried to remain calm, hoping her family’s influence would deter them.
“Enough noise!” The leader frowned, slapped her, and forced a small pill into her mouth. The pill would make her forget the day’s events, a precaution from Jiang Che due to her connection to Shen Qingqiu.
After dealing with Lin Wanrou, they did the same to the driver, then threw Lin Nan into their car and drove off.
In the basement of Crouching Dragon Villa, the bodyguards tied the unconscious Lin Nan to a chair and doused him with cold water.
Soaked, Lin Nan coughed and quickly woke up, “Jiang Che! It’s you!” Seeing Jiang Che sitting across from him, Lin Nan’s eyes filled with anger, his teeth clenched.
Jiang Che waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to leave. He then approached Lin Nan and looked down at him.
“Are you surprised? Reborn Lin Nan…” Jiang Che patted Lin Nan on the cheek, revealing his biggest secret with a gentle smile.
“You… how did you know…” Lin Nan looked at Jiang Che in fear, unable to comprehend how his secret was discovered. Was Jiang Che also reborn?
“That’s not your concern. The time is up. It’s time to send you on your way…” Jiang Che picked up a pistol, loaded it, and fired three shots into Lin Nan’s heart. Blood quickly stained Lin Nan’s chest, and he died.
“Ding, the host has killed Lin Nan, the son of luck, and is rewarded with a mysterious treasure chest x1.”
