"Let's talk about it, what should I do about this?"

In the Lin family's meeting hall, Lin Jingtian and the elders, as well as several directors of the outer hall, all had solemn faces, and during the discussion, Lin Jingtian asked in a deep voice.

But as soon as these words came out, everyone who was originally talking about it suddenly closed their mouths, and even the six elders, who had always been the most short-tempered, couldn't say a word, and almost all of them had a bitter face.

Lin Jingtian sighed secretly, "I have already sent someone to inform Lin Feng and Lin Yun of this matter, hoping that they can catch up and ...... before the deadline arrives."

"Master of the family!" Lin Jingtian hadn't finished speaking, when suddenly, a housekeeper hurriedly ran in.

Lin Jingtian couldn't help frowning, "Steward Liu, didn't I say it before, you are not allowed to come in at will during the discussion...... Forget it, you say, what's the matter with such a panic?"

Steward Liu bowed and greeted everyone, and then said happily: "The head of the family, all the elders, it's the eldest lady and the second young master who are back!"

"Eh, Lin Xue and Lin Xue are back?" Lin Jingtian was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the elders and the principals were also very surprised, and they were immediately overjoyed.

"Well, it's just in time to be back. ”

"As long as Lin Xue is here, the Lin family will be saved. ”

"Yes, now only Lin Xue can turn the tide. ”

Then, under the gaze of everyone, two figures followed closely into the conference hall, it was Lin Xue and Lin Xue.

"Father, we're back. The two men came to the hall and bowed.

"Okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Lin Jingtian stepped forward, patted the shoulders of the two, and said with relief.

Then, after greeting the elders a few words, Lin Ze didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Father, when we came back just now, we found that the atmosphere at home was a little heavy, and ...... Did something happen?"

Lin Jingtian looked at the two of them, then looked at Steward Liu who was standing in the corner with his head bowed, and finally returned his gaze to Lin Ze's body and asked, "What do you know now?"

"On the way here, Steward Liu told me that the family's business has been frequently hit by the Lou family recently, especially in the past three months, the Lin family has reached an unprecedented state of loss, and ...... Lin Chen was crippled. Lin Ze said in a deep voice, and after finishing speaking, his hands were clenched tightly.

Lin Xue doesn't understand business matters, but doing business, making profits and losses is no longer a normal thing, there is nothing to make a fuss about, with the financial resources of the Lin family, even if it loses money for half a year, it is difficult to shake the foundation.

However, Lin Chen turned out to be crippled, which is a problem that cannot be ignored in any way.

Along the way just now, Steward Liu couldn't speak clearly, and only vaguely told them this fact, but he didn't say anything about what happened, so Lin Xue had no choice but to hold back his inner emotions for the time being, and looked at his father and the elders around him with an inquiring gaze.

As soon as they heard Lin Xue's words, the joy that the elders had just generated immediately disappeared, and there was a look of regret on their faces. Lin Chen, as a representative of the younger generation of the Lin family, is also one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Lin family in the past two hundred years, and his future is limitless, but now he is crippled, no one knows what this means.

A person with a disability will never be able to do anything in martial arts!

Lin Jingtian sighed heavily, and then told the two about what happened to the Lin family in the past six months.

The contradiction between the Lin family and the Lou family has always existed, since decades ago, the fight between the two families has never stopped, after all, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and on the side of the couch, how can there be a reason to allow others to sleep soundly.

It's just that both are in the process of development, and a large-scale battle will not only not bring victory to themselves, but will cause both sides to quickly decay, and then be taken over by others. Therefore, the two have always been extremely restrained in this regard, except for the intrigue in the business field and in the secret, on the surface, the well water does not interfere with the river water.

The Lin family's business has always been very concentrated, mainly selling silk ceramics and medicinal materials, although there are also some hotel pawnshops in Tianhe City, but these are only secondary, purely to reduce the cost of ordinary opening. As for the Loujia business, it is relatively extensive, dart games, green buildings, hotels, and all kinds of trading, anyway, they can make money, almost all of them do.

It's just that in terms of time, the Lou family belongs to an emerging family, and it has accumulated nearly a hundred years worse than the Lin family in terms of heritage, so even if the Lou family is getting stronger and stronger, it can't hit the Lin family in the main business.

But that changed half a year ago.

That is, not long after Lin Xue left the Lin family and went to the dark forest, the Lou family didn't know where to get foreign aid, and their power was much bigger all of a sudden, first in the business field.

Originally, the Lou family, who was only slightly involved in silk medicinal materials, actually began to focus on this aspect, invested a lot of money to open dozens of stores, and then a steady stream of goods entered, and I don't know where they got the supply, in short...... The Lou family's move suddenly caused a huge impact on the silk medicinal materials and other businesses in Tianhe City.

Several small families who only relied on silk medicinal materials for their livelihood, in the face of this impact, immediately couldn't hold on, and in desperation, they took refuge in the Lou family.

The Lin family has a big business, although it has also suffered a lot of impact, but after all, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, plus there is also the genius of Lin De in the shopping mall, and the heritage accumulated over the years, after the initial impact passed, it gradually began to get better and return to normal.

But the Lou family's actions did not end there, and a month later, the Lin family's caravans began to be hijacked frequently.

You must know that the Lin family has been operating in Tianhe City for more than two hundred years, and it has long been ingrained, and the nameless overlord of Tianhe City, ordinary robbers do not dare to put their thieves on the Lin family caraavan at all, but in just a few months, the Lin family caravan has encountered more than in the previous ten years.

Moreover, the people who hijacked this group were all masters who came out of nowhere, they acted quickly, and they were extremely decisive in both attacking and retreating, even if there were strong people in the caravan to escort them, it was difficult to react in time.

In addition, they are not like ordinary robbers who rob, but the Lord destroys. Every time it encountered, the Lin family's caravan would lose at least half of the goods transported, and sometimes it would be wiped out.

With fewer goods, the Lin family's business naturally plummeted, except for some old customers who had cooperated for many years, the Lin family's business suddenly shrank, and immediately entered a serious state of loss.

But this is still secondary, the most important thing is the business between the Lin family and the imperial capital.

Originally, in Tianhe City, only the Lin family was doing business in the imperial capital, and other merchants did not have this confidence. But since this incident, the Lin family has insufficient supplies, and the Lou family is the opposite, so most of the business was robbed by the Lou family at once.

The problem of supply cannot be solved, so that the Lin family can really be regarded as breaking their muscles and bones.

And in order to solve this problem, the first thing the Lin family has to deal with is the group of robbers who came out of nowhere.

However, before the Lin family could deal with it, the Lou family played the most important card at this moment - settling old accounts!

First of all, Lin Xue's account, after learning that Lin Xue might become a waste, Lin Xue was angry and killed the Lou family's dart game, and abolished the cultivation of several disciples with surnames outside the Lou family. This account, the Lou family shouted a few times and gave up, giving people the feeling of being a tiger, and now, when the Lin family's business was hit by the big vice, the Lou family moved out.

Secondly, it is also the most fatal account - Lou Juncai!

At the beginning, Lou Juncai wanted to plot against Lin Yao, but he was killed by Lin Xue with a sword, and his body was in a different place, Lin Zhi threw his body in the back mountain, and after a few months, his body should have been eaten clean by the beast.

But who knows, the Lou family moved Lou Juncai's body out, identified Lin Xue as the murderer, and questioned the Lin family again, and at the same time publicized it in Tianhe City, causing a storm in the city, which everyone knows.

Lin Xue didn't mention Lou Juncai's matter to anyone, and Lin Yao didn't talk about it, so of course the Lin family was disdainful of the Lou family's questioning.

In addition, Lou Juncai's character and style in Tianhe City are also known to passers-by, who knows how he died, maybe he molested a woman who shouldn't be molested, but was killed instead, that is also innocent of death. The Lou family casually took out a corpse and identified Lin Xue as the murderer, which was too much of a joke.

However, just when everyone thought so, a mountain keeper of the Lin family stood up and confirmed that what the Lou family said was true. According to what he said, he saw with his own eyes that Lou Juncai strayed into the mountain behind the Lin family and was bumped into by Lin Ze, and then because of the contradictions in the previous days, Lin Ze brutally killed Lou Juncai and abandoned his body in the mountains.

As soon as these words came out, the situation of the Lin family was suddenly not good, and they never thought that the mountain guards would rebel and take refuge in the Lou family.

Although Lin Yao came out to refute the rumors later, it didn't work. After all, Lin Yao is Lin Xue's sister, and her words for her brother may not be credible, but the words of the mountain guards are more worthy of belief.

Killing people pays for their lives, it is a matter of course, this is a rule that even Jianghu people must abide by, as for how to pay, of course, it depends on strength and power.

The Lou family has all the evidence and physical evidence in their hands, and it is a matter of course if they want to seek justice from the Lin family.

So naturally, the Lou family began to persecute the Lin family, asking them to hand over Lin Xue and Lin Xue.

Of course, this is impossible, not to mention that Lin Xue and Lin Xue are not in the Lin family, even if they are both there, the Lin family will not hand them over.

Obviously, the Lou family just knew that the two were not there, so they would make a request, otherwise Lou Juncai had been dead for several months, and the Lou family had already taken his body, why did they move out at this time?

It's nothing more than to give the Lin family a fatal blow.

In fact, the situation was out of control, and the two families almost wanted to go to war for it, but then the development took an unexpected turn again...... Just when the war between the Lin family and the Lou family was on the verge of breaking out, the royal family of the Jin Kingdom and the Ye family, one of the five great families of the Jin Kingdom, came one after another, wanting to calm things down.

The battle between the Lin family and the Lou family, two second-rate families, will attract the attention of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom and the first-class Ye family, which is simply a great anecdote that makes countless people look sideways.

But this strange thing really happened.

The Lou family first retreated, and under the reconciliation between the Jin royal family and the Ye family, they stated that the matter was caused by the younger generation, so let the younger generation solve it themselves.

The Lou family set up a ring, and only the younger generations of the two families were allowed to fight, as long as someone from the Lin family could defeat their representatives of the Lou family, this matter would be revealed.

The Lou family was so generous, which surprised everyone, and won a good reputation for a while. However, the Lin family is not stupid, and at this moment they finally know why the Lou family has suddenly become so strong...... Behind the Lou family is not only the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, but also the Ye family, one of the five great families of the Jin Kingdom!

This was premeditated!

But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say that the rest is useless, the Lin family can only fight, otherwise the Lin family will offend the Jin royal family and the Ye family at the same time, and when the time comes, with these two huge forces coming down, the Lin family will inevitably be wiped out.

The strongest of the younger generation of the Lin family is Lin Feng and Lin Yun, but the two have been out for many years, and even the Lin family itself does not know their whereabouts. The next ones are Lin Chen and Lin Xue, and Lin Xue is not there, of course, the only one who can fight in the Lin family is Lin Chen.

But the problem is that some time ago, in order to deal with the robbers who robbed the caravan, Lin Chen was injured a lot, and he has not recovered until now, and he went out to fight with his injuries, or he knew the purpose of the Lou family, it was too dangerous.

However, fortunately, the younger generation of the Lou family is too far away from the Lin family, and their most powerful is the son of Lou Wangsheng, the head of the Lou family, Lou Zhanming, who is now twenty-two years old and has the strength of the eighth layer of qi refining.

Lou Zhanming's qualifications are average, the eighth layer of qi refining is the eighth layer of qi refining, but Lin Chen is a rare genius of the Lin family, the strength of the eighth layer of qi refining is enough to challenge the martial artist of the ninth layer of qi refining, even if he is injured, he may not be defeated by Lou Zhanming.

Unless the Lou family is shameless, invite the young disciples of the Ye family and the Jin royal family to come to the stage to compete.

But to everyone's surprise, it was not Lou Zhanming who came to the stage to compete, nor was it a member of the Ye family and the Jin royal family, but a young female disciple of the Water Moon faction, Tang Yue.

This Tang Yue is less than twenty years old, and her strength is already at the ninth level of Qi refining, which shows that her talent is excellent, and more importantly, she is still Lou Zhanming's fiancée, and she has already been engaged, so she can be regarded as a member of the Lou family.

Therefore, although she is a member of the Water Moon Faction, she is qualified to fight on behalf of the Lou family.

The result was obvious, Lin Chen was defeated, but defeat was defeated, and the Lin family had nothing to say. Lin Chen only had the eighth layer of qi refining, and he had injuries on his body, so it was a matter of course that he couldn't beat Tang Yue.

But what made the Lin family unbearable was that Tang Yue's snake and scorpion were obviously already in control, but instead they used tricks, and when Lin Chen was careless, he was seriously injured with one move, and even broke his two hamstrings, causing Lin Chen to be disabled.

A generation of geniuses has been reduced to waste.
