Chapter 1496 - 1495: Lin Bai Surrounded

Cheng Family Mansion!

With the Scorpion Man murdered, the entire Cheng Family was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere!

The Scorpion Man was a close confidant of the Cheng Family. His killing is, in fact, a direct slap to Cheng Batian's face!

Such arrogance as Cheng Batian's could scarcely accept this insult!

At this moment, a burly man hurriedly pedaled a bicycle towards the Cheng Family Mansion. Upon reaching the gate, the man jumped off the bike and shouted at the guards, "I'm Mr. Cheng's subordinate. I have urgent news to report to Mr. Cheng, open the door immediately!"

The guards, upon hearing this, dared not hesitate and promptly opened the large iron gate. The man swiftly rode his bicycle into the courtyard!

He reached the front of the villa, tossed aside the bike, and rushed inside in a few strides!

The man arrived at the door of the first room on the left on the second floor and respectfully knocked!

"Come in!"

Soon, a deep voice echoed from inside!

The man quickly opened the door to see a study lined with bookshelves filled with books!

Sitting at the desk straight ahead was a burly young man!

It was Cheng Batian!

Cheng Batian looked up momentarily and asked the man, "Did you find any news?"

"Mr. Cheng, great news! You told me to watch over Lin's house, and indeed, this morning, he returned with the woman!" The man eagerly reported!

"As expected!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Batian's face twisted into a ferocious expression, and he stood up instantly!

"Lin dares to kill my subordinate; he must have guts! Did the one who killed the Scorpion Man appear?" Cheng Batian asked!

"No, only Lin Bai and his woman!" The man answered truthfully!

"Hmph! As long as I catch Lin Bai, I will find that brat too. Assemble twenty brothers, arm them well, and come with me!" Cheng Batian commanded!

"Understood!"

The man nodded respectfully before leaving the study to gather personnel!

At this moment, Cheng Batian's face was shrouded in a sinister expression!

The Scorpion Man was killed; Cheng Batian was angry but also relieved. It was Scorpion Man's death that justified his move against Lin Bai; otherwise, if Fang Rongrong were obstructing, Cheng Batian wouldn't dare risk offending Fang Rongrong to kill Lin Bai!

At this moment, Cheng Batian's mind was already fantasizing about Lin Bai begging under his feet!

"Hehe! Fang Rongrong, you b-tch, I bet once Lin Bai is finished, you'll obediently marry me and become my woman, see how I punish you!"

Cheng Batian thought viciously!

Then, Cheng Batian snorted coldly and immediately left the study!

...

At the moment, Lin Bai and Lin Ya hadn't realized Cheng Batian was heading their way!

They tidied the room briefly, wrapped useful items in cloth, and made a bundle to take away!

"I never thought we'd live here for over six months. Before, I couldn't imagine staying in such a rundown place!"

Lin Ya, looking at the familiar items, filled with nostalgia!

It was precisely because of this place that her relationship with Lin Bai advanced rapidly!

"Don't worry, I'll never let you suffer again!" Lin Bai promised Lin Ya!

Lin Ya looked at Lin Bai's earnest face and slightly smiled with a hint of charm!

Lin Ya said, "Anyway, you've recovered now, so all the grievances I've suffered this half year; you must compensate me doubly!"

"Double compensation? I'd give my life for you!" Lin Bai jokingly remarked!

"What would I do with your life? It's worthless; keep it and protect me!" Lin Ya retorted!

Seeing Lin Ya's playful look, Lin Bai's lips curved slightly!

Only, the smile was faint, barely noticeable without close observation!

It's undeniable; love's strength is immense, altering someone significantly the more they experience!

For instance, Lin Bai was never the smiling or joking type!

But now, he's changed much!

This Lin Bai is like the one Lin Fan first met, always showing a big smile with shiny white teeth!

However, under old man Lin Kongxian's influence, Lin Bai lost these instincts, becoming just a killer, cold and ruthless, sworn to be the sharpest sword beside Lin Fan!

"It's getting late, we should head back now. Our identities are quite sensitive; we mustn't be discovered, putting Lin Fan at risk!" Lin Bai said!

"Yes, let's go back; this place is filled with warm memories, quite hard to leave!" Lin Ya said wistfully!

"If you like it, when peace returns, and we no longer need to fight, we can come back here and live a simple life!" Lin Bai said!

"Alright, you said it, no going back!" Lin Ya replied playfully!

"Don't worry; I promise, I'll keep my word!" Lin Bai assured!

"Good! I believe you, let's go back!"

Lin Ya wrapped her hand around Lin Bai's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, her face expressing sweetness!

Lin Bai lifted the bundle onto his shoulder and turned to walk outside!

"Vroom~" "Tap tap tap~"

However, as Lin Bai and Lin Ya stepped out, the sound of car engines and rushing footsteps suddenly emerged!

Lin Bai frowned slightly, quickly looking up to see a mass of people rushing towards them from a distance!

Soon, the crowd halted ten steps before Lin Bai, tensely focusing on him like wolves eyeing prey!

Lin Bai and Lin Ya gazed intently at the front car, the real protagonist yet to appear!

"Click~"

With the door opening sound, a burly youth emerged from the car, none other than Cheng Batian!

"Not good! It's Cheng Family's men!"

Lin Ya, recognizing the situation, her face froze in fear!

Lin Bai's expression slightly tensed as he stepped forward to shield Lin Ya!
