Father Lin didn't come back from the company until it was close to dinner.

Today is the child's birthday. When Mother Lin saw him coming back so late, she wanted to complain about him, but before she could say anything, Father Lin sent him back fiercely.

She was not a good-tempered person either, and was about to break up with him, but seeing Father Lin's particularly ugly expression, she remained silent.

She didn't know much about the company's affairs in the past few years. She only knew that Lin's father had been working on a big project recently. It was obviously going well before. Could it be that he had encountered some problems recently?

In fact, Mother Lin did guess right.

The Lin family is engaged in real estate, and house prices have been rising in recent years, and Father Lin has also made a lot of money from it.

A while ago, Father Lin received news from other channels that the government recently planned to develop a new subway line in Nanfu New District, Xicheng.

Nanfu New District is far away from the city center and is usually relatively deserted, and the price of the land itself is relatively low.

But if a new subway line is opened, the value of this land will definitely increase several times. If everything goes well, it may increase tenfold.

This is huge profit.

Father Lin originally wanted to secretly take over this piece of land, but besides him, several other families also got the news. It was impossible to take it secretly, and several major companies, including Lin's, began bidding.

Fortunately, Father Lin finally got the land at a relatively high price.

This price is definitely not worth it for the current land, but when the new subway line is completed, it will definitely be profitable.

Father Lin happily grasped this piece of land, but he just got a piece of news today.

The location of the new subway line may change.

When Father Lin heard the news, he almost felt cold all over. He had spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land.

If he only bought this piece of land, he could barely hold on, but because he was reluctant to miss this great opportunity, Lin's father even bought several large pieces of land around Nanfu New District, and even took out a partial loan, planning to

Build a building behind Nanfu New District to make it a huge department store.

Because of bidding with several companies, the things he bought are basically purchased at several times the price.

If the government does not build new subway lines in Nanfu New District, these places will be in trouble and even cause serious damage to the Lin family.

However, we are not sure yet. Father Lin will continue to inquire, and by the way, he will try to contact a few people he knows within the government.

Father Lin has been inquiring about this matter today, but unfortunately there has been no progress yet.

When Lin Jiacheng saw Lin's father coming back, he smiled and talked to him.

It was his birthday today, and although Father Lin looked unhappy, he didn't get angry at him.

He just asked: "It's so late, why don't you start eating? Can you still celebrate your birthday?"

Lin Jiacheng's eyes flashed and he explained: "Lingye hasn't come back yet, everyone is waiting to come back for dinner."

Father Lin frowned: "Where has he gone? Why hasn't he come back even after dark?"

"I don't know either, but last time I went to a bar and got drunk, so I lost track of time..."

"Ling Ye has been holding back at home these past few days. Maybe he wants to play outside for a while."

Father Lin held back his anger: "He finally settled down for a few days, why did he go out to fool around again?"

"Today is his birthday. Dad, please stop scolding him. I guess Lingye just wants to have fun on his birthday."

Father Lin, who was already angry, was furious when he heard what he said: "That's great! He's so ignorant that he won't even go home because of his birthday. If he doesn't come back, he'll be killed and we'll eat! Is it possible that the whole family is waiting for him to come back for dinner?

"

"No need to wait for him!"

Lin Jiacheng smiled and said, "Dad, don't be angry, then I'll ask the kitchen to leave a meal for him."

"If he doesn't come back, there's no need to leave food. He'll be hungry if he doesn't come back!"

Qin Lingye finally couldn't help but start a fight with them.

The hair on his forehead covered his gloomy expression, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he raised his fist fast and hard. He punched the boy who was speaking in the nose, and blood flowed from his nose after two injections.

The man whimpered and fell back. Others reacted and swarmed up to teach Qin Lingye a lesson.

,

There were five of them, although one of them was struck first by Qin Lingye and was hit in the nose, leaving him without any fighting ability.

But there are four remaining people who will not suffer any loss.

But soon, they became overwhelmed.

This guy fought like a mad dog, extremely ferocious. Even though they had a huge advantage in numbers, they couldn't stand up to his desperate fighting style.

It was as if he couldn't feel the pain. He didn't know how to dodge the punches and would only fight back with more ferocity.

When the four people faced Qin Lingye, they couldn't help but become afraid and hesitant.

Hesitation leads to defeat.

A fight quickly turned into a one-sided crushing attack by Qin Lingye.

But they were unwilling to admit that so many of them would be beaten to pieces by one person, and they would all curse and say extremely unpleasant things.

"A gangster is a gangster. Even if he wears the skin of a wealthy young man and pretends to be a good student, he can't change the violence in his heart."

"We should really let the Lin family see what you are like now. Are they afraid of adopting a bastard like you?"

Qin Lingye would refute before, but this time he was still very quiet. He listened silently, and then struck harder.

The short man who had been beaten the most quickly realized that this was not a problem.

In this situation, it was obvious that Qin Lingye was driven crazy by them, but they couldn't beat them. After a while, he was provoked and went even crazier. It was possible for the others to run away. He ran the slowest, and his feet were sprained just now.

, and definitely can’t run away.

And he didn't want to be beaten to death.

He quickly betrayed this unstable team and begged Qin Lingye for mercy and surrendered.

With the short man withdrawing, the other two people soon became unable to resist. Only the tall man was still resisting.

He couldn't help but beg for mercy, but in the end he couldn't help but shut up.

He curled up on the ground with his head in his arms.

Qin Lingye quickly stopped and looked at them coldly. In fact, he really wanted to beat these people to death for a moment.

Fortunately, he still has sense.

The sky had turned completely dark, and the injuries on the five people's bodies were all aching. They couldn't see Qin Lingye's expression clearly, but when their eyes were caught by him, they couldn't help but tremble.

"Go back and prepare. Tomorrow I will calculate the expenses you have spent on entertaining guests these days, and then replenish me." Qin Lingye said.

"Don't think about being a scumbag. Although I'm just an adopted son of the Lin family, I can still handle a few ordinary students who don't study well and have extremely bad character."

Several people felt regret in their hearts. Unfortunately, they had spent a lot of money this month with Qin Lingye's support.

If I had known they would not have stopped Qin Lingye, at least a month's worth of entertainment expenses would have been in vain.

It was cheap, and I got a beating.

Qin Lingye and Qin's mother used to live in an old and dilapidated community. There were often streetwalkers or gangsters with bad tempers.

Qin Lingye glanced at the five people who were as silent as ostriches and said nothing more.

Only then did he realize that time flew by so fast. It had been a long time since Lin Zhaoying's prescribed time. Instead of calling the Lin family's driver, he hailed a taxi.

He was full of anger, there were bruises on his face, and he was covered in paint.

The taxi driver couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw Qin Lingye like this, but seeing that he seemed young, he decided to pick up the passenger.

Qin Lingye reported his address and didn't speak.

The driver glanced at him. In their profession, they like to say a few words to passengers to relieve boredom when they have nothing to do. "Little brother, are you going home?"

Qin Lingye lowered his eyes, hummed softly after a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The driver's chat request was declined, so he had to shut up and concentrate on driving.

The distance between the arcade city and Lin's house is not short. The car finally drove outside the villa. The driver looked at the buildings here and sighed:

Rich people are so nice! But the house is too big and looks empty. It might be a little scary to sleep at night.

Qin Lingye got out of the car. From the outside, he could see through the window that the lights inside were turned off, and everyone in the villa seemed to be asleep.

Yes, it's almost eleven o'clock now.

He entered the villa, and the servants were cleaning up the garbage left by the birthday party in the yard. Lin Jiacheng's birthday party was over, and so was his.

Qin Lingye entered the house. It was pitch dark inside. He subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhaoying's room. Her door was closed tightly.

Maybe Lin Zhaoying was already disappointed with him.

Lin Zhaoying clearly set a time for vacation, but he failed to come back in time. Like many times before, he performed poorly again and again, and finally his sister was disappointed in him.

There will no longer be a full schedule of courses, there will no longer be quizzes that make him rack his brains, and he will no longer have to learn things that he doesn't understand, but he has clearly decided to take the Tsinghua University exam to give her a boost.

Qin Lingye suddenly felt at a loss. He was enveloped in inexplicable sadness, and even had a strong impulse to knock on his sister's door.
