The next day, the news that the Sun family was wiped out shocked the entire Weiyuan City. It was one of the three new major families after the Lin family's defeat, and it was actually wiped out!
The key is that no one noticed this thing last night. If pedestrians hadn't seen the heads piled outside the door in the morning, they wouldn't even know that such a thing happened in the Sun family.
After the Xu family learned that something happened to the Sun family, they immediately looked for Xu Huameng. He was very close to the Sun family and might know some inside information.
However, they eventually found Xu Huameng's head among the heads outside Sun's house.
After the people of the Guo family learned about the Sun family, they were also shocked and speechless. However, Guo Huai'en burst out laughing after learning that the Sun family was wiped out.
He had been locked up at home during this period, and he was so heartbroken that he no longer planned to see Lin Xinran.
After all, they are right. The Lin family's downfall must have been contributed to by the Guo family. In the face of the family's interests and disputes, his so-called love is so ridiculous!
It makes no sense for him to go to Lin Xinran now. As long as the Guo family is still there, there will always be a gap between them. He has no chance...
In the City Lord's Mansion, early in the morning, Zhao Qian was dragged out of bed by someone sent by City Lord Zhao Zhidu before he woke up.
Cursing, he came to the front hall and saw his father with a serious and majestic face. After all, he did not dare to speak and bowed slightly to salute.
"Father, is there something important that woke me up so early?"
Zhao Zhidu snorted coldly: "It's already noon, and it's still early in the morning! Why did I give birth to such a waste like you!"
Zhao Qian curled his lips and said: "So what? You only have one son, what can you do? And I have been getting close to Lin Xinran recently. I will take over the Lin family soon. Am I so useless?"
< br>
Zhao Zhidu's eyes were cold and he said in a cold voice: "Haha, do you know what happened last night?"
Zhao Qian said indifferently: "What happened?"
Zhao Zhidu said coldly: "The Sun family was wiped out. Your lackey called Sun Zhibin had his head chopped off and thrown at the gate of the Sun family! The key is that no one in the entire Weiyuan City discovered the Sun family last night. They were wiped out quietly like this!”
"What!" Zhao Qian's expression suddenly changed: "Revenge, this is definitely revenge! But...how could the Lin family have the ability to wipe out the Sun family quietly!"
Zhao Zhidu's eyes were gloomy and his face was full of sadness: "I can't figure this out either. I've already asked someone to check it out. Don't leave the city lord's mansion recently. Stay away for a while!"
This was the real purpose of calling Zhao Qian here. He knew that his son was just a loser, and saving his life was the most important thing now.
Zhao Qian was also frightened by the tragic fate of the Sun family, and his face turned pale: "I know, father, don't worry, I will stay in the City Lord's Mansion during this time and will not go out."
"Okay, go back to sleep!" Zhao Zhidu told him to leave.
Zhao Qian turned around and was about to leave, then suddenly turned around and said, "Dad, there are two more people around Lin Xinran recently. You might be able to start with them."
Zhao Zhidu said yes and stopped responding, and Zhao Qian could only leave in frustration.
There was a hint of darkness in his eyes. After hearing such big news, it was obviously impossible to go back to sleep.
"Lin Xinran, I didn't expect you to hide so many secrets!"
After he left the front hall, he looked back at his father who was meditating: "Dad, you always say that I am a waste. Today I will prove to you once that I am not a waste!"
When he went to eat, he asked the housekeeper to dispatch a dozen Jindan realm masters. After eating, he went straight to the Lin family.
The atmosphere in the Lin family's mansion was a bit tense. After the incident happened to the Sun family this morning, the City Lord's Mansion came three times to investigate the destruction of the Sun family. Lin Xinran also dealt with them three times. At that time, no evidence was left at the scene, and the City Lord's Palace had no way of starting. After three inquiries, it had no choice but to give up.
The Guo family and the Xu family also sent people over to test the Lin family's tone. Lin Xinran only said that she didn't know and didn't understand anything.
Then there are those shopkeepers and small family leaders who once made things difficult for Lin Xinran. As powerful as the Sun family, they were wiped out overnight. They were really scared and worried about being settled by Lin Xinran later in life, so they came to visit with gifts.
Lin Xinran accepted all the gifts without any hesitation. Anyway, she didn't intend to have anything to do with them in the future. Don't let the things they gave you for free.
What's more, the Lin family is short of money now, so there is no reason to refuse.
In the evening, Lin Xinran sent all the guests away. Just when he wanted to take a rest, he saw Zhao Qian coming with a group of people.
Lin Xinran frowned slightly when she saw him. The city lord's palace was behind everything, so she naturally didn't have a good look towards Zhao Qian.
When Zhao Qian saw Lin Xinran, the greed in his eyes flashed away: "Xinran, are you still busy?"
Lin Xinran didn't want to have too much interaction with him, nor did she want to have any friction with the City Lord's Mansion, so she smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, Xinran will go to the shop to inspect the store later."
She almost said "I don't want to talk to you" written on her face, but Zhao Qian still acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said with a smile: "Is that so? Then I'm fine, just go with you!"< br>
The smile on Lin Xinran's face was a little stiff, and she declined: "No, no need."
However, Zhao Qian suddenly turned cold: "Lin Xinran, stop pretending, was it you who did the Sun family's extermination, right?"
Lin Xinran glanced at Zhao Qian in surprise. She didn't expect that this guy would come to investigate this matter with such a tough attitude.
"Young Master Zhao is joking. With the current strength of the Lin family, there is no way that the Lin family has the ability to wipe out the Sun family overnight. Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion has already come to ask three times in the morning to confirm that it is not me. Will Young Master Zhao forcefully frame me?"< br>
Zhao Qian said coldly: "I don't believe it! Where are those two guys following you! Ever since they appeared next to you, I..."
He spoke for a moment, and then said after a moment: "Everything about you has become smoother. They must be helping you!"
Lin Xinran had a look of disdain on her face: "Mr. Zhao, what you wanted to say just now was that since they appeared, you have failed in secretly targeting me and the Lin family, right?"
Zhao Qian's face was ashen and he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Lin Xinran! I didn't do those things, don't accuse me wrongly!"
Lin Xinran said disdainfully: "Then don't accuse me wrongly. It's getting late, so I won't let Mr. Zhao have dinner!"
Zhao Qian's eyes were cold: "Aren't you going to inspect the store?"
Lin Xinran turned around and left: "I lied to you. I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned that you insisted on following me."
