“Boss.” The man who came back from selling fish smelled of blood. He stood in front of Zhu Wen with wide eyes and looked at Secretary Wu and the others in an uproar. “Why are these people here? Boss, are you injured?”

Secretary Wu looked embarrassed and desperately winked at Zhu Wen for help.

Zhu Wen helplessly pushed away the few people who had been at daggers drawn the moment they met and briefly explained the situation just now.

The man selling fish had an honest personality. When he heard that his brothers wanted to reconcile, he immediately changed his expression. His angry face suddenly revealed a bright smile. “Secretary Wu, you should have said so earlier. I told you that you’re a civilized person. You probably won’t fight and kill. I misunderstood this matter. 1 apologize to you.”

Secretary Wu lowered her eyes guiltily and hurriedly changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about this first. The most important thing for Nighthawk now is for us to think of how to take revenge on Jun Mo.”

“Yes.” Although Zhu Wen had been silent for so long, he had actually been thinking about avenging his brother. Now that his brothers had united again, he naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

The night was still long. The Nighthawks were gathered together, planning their first operation after the merger.

While Shi He was unconscious, the entire Shi family and the Yi family were not idle.

Yi Ming originally wanted to watch from the sidelines and not add another enemy to himself, but Yi Long’s attitude was unyielding. He and Yi Che could only be forced to take sides and completely stand against the Lin family.

At night, Master Lin had a straight face since he returned from the company. He was not in the mood to care even if his Madam spoke to him. As soon as he entered, he called Lin Yue over anxiously. After bringing her into the study, he smashed his favorite teacup on the table.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, and the remaining tea inside wetted Lin Yue’s pants.

However, she still stood rooted to the ground, allowing her father to vent his monstrous anger on her.

She knew why her father was so angry today.

Three days later, the leaders of the capital had to go to a place for a routine inspection. Because of Lin Yue’s mother, the Lin family was determined to get the reception this time.

The Lin family had also been busy for more than a month preparing to receive the leader. However, the matter that was originally a sure bet, was suddenly snatched away by the Shi family today. It was even personally planned by Shi Zhong, who had long announced that he would withdraw from this competition.

The Lin family was definitely not as strong as the Shi family, but the two families usually had a good relationship. In addition, Shi Zhong was impatient to deal with such things, so he let the Lin family do it almost every year.

The Lin family was also happy to pick up benefits. The Lin family’s master had always tried his best to maintain the relationship between the two families.

Unexpectedly, all his hard work had disappeared because of his daughter’s affair.

The matter of Shi He jumping off a building and committing suicide caused an uproar. Although the Lin family’s master did not know what had happened between the two of them, the Shi family had already openly declared war on their family. This caught him off guard.

The person who had created this situation was actually his daughter, Lin Yue, whom he had always treasured.

The Lin family’s master was furious when he saw her calm face. He scolded sternly, “Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused this time? The Shi family and the Yi family have already joined forces. I couldn’t even suck up to them, but you offended them all at once!”

Faced with her father’s roar, Lin Yue’s eyes suddenly turned red. However, she held back the bitterness in her heart and pursed her thin lips stubbornly. “Father, I naturally have my reasons for doing these things. Don’t worry, I won’t harm the Lin family. I did all this for the good of the Lin family!”

“For the good of the Lin family?” The Lin family’s master was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He placed his hands on his hips, pointed at Lin Yue’s nose, and roared, “Alright, tell me, what benefits do you have for our Lin family that you almost killed their son!”

Lin Yue felt aggrieved. She looked up with a choked voice and her gaze became even more determined. “Father, even if the Shi family treats us well now, do you know what outsiders think of us? They all say that we’re the Shi family’s lackeys. We look noble, but in fact, we’re just following behind the Shi family and waiting for them to give us alms.”

“Nonsense! Our Lin family is strong. Who dares to say that about me!” The Lin family’s master suddenly pushed the things on the table to the ground. His heaving chest showed that this man was already furious to the extreme. “Continue!”

Lin Yue knew that her words had worked. She swallowed nervously and continued to fan the flames for him. “Father, they look down on our Lin family because we are always suppressed by the Shi family. Only when the Shi family is gone can our Lin family truly rise up.”

Master Lin took a deep look at his daughter. It had to be said that his daughter’s current thoughts were exactly the same as when he was young, but he had long passed the age where he relied on his passion to do things.

After so many years of chasing and defeat, he had already worn down his edges. He knew very clearly that the Shi family was like an insurmountable mountain to him..
