"If my family member can't beat you, what if I join in?" During the flight in the air, a faint yet angry voice reached Shen Xia's ears, like a thunderstorm out of the blue, exploding in his ears, causing them to buzz and making him lose consciousness for a moment. A few seconds later, his vision gradually cleared, and he found himself lying on the ground, with a foot stepping on his face. There was a trace of confusion in Shen Xia's eyes at first, which slowly turned clear, and finally, his expression turned unsightly as he roared out in anger: "You guys..." Before he could finish his sentence, the foot on his face pressed down harder, squashing his head, and his mouth was distorted, preventing him from speaking. "What do you want to say?" Hao Jian, with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, said to Shen Xia, who he was stepping on: "I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Under the premise of knowing you can't beat me, you still dare to say such things?" "I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending, being kicked away by me so many times and still thinking that way? Didn't your cheap old man tell you about my identity?" After saying this, Hao Jian lifted his thigh and, in Shen Xia's bewildered gaze, kicked him hard in the abdomen, sending him flying. Simultaneously, he kicked backward with tremendous force, smashing into the Hummer's front windshield. With one kick, Hao Jian shattered the windshield into pieces that held together without falling, like a spiderweb on a cracked phone screen. "Consider this a lesson; talk recklessly again and you'll end up windshield." Hao Jian pointed at the Hummer's windshield with a cold smile, "If it wasn't for Qingxue's sake, with your attitude, I would have already thrown you into the river to feed the fish!" Shen Xia, having just been kicked away, wanted to curse but swallowed hard upon seeing the condition of his car. With such power, if it landed on him, he'd be dead! Unknowingly, cold sweat broke out on Shen Xia's forehead, and his palms were sweating. His gaze was unsteady as he looked at Hao Jian, struggling to swallow his anger. Thus, clenching his fists, he looked at Hao Jian: "Kid, I don't know who you are, but in Hua City, if you mess with my people, it won't end well for you! Better hope I don't come looking for trouble!" "And you, Lin Qingxue!" As he spoke, Shen Xia pointed at Lin Qingxue, his words filled with coldness: "You'd better be prepared. If you don't plan to hand over the inheritance, don't blame us for being rude!" "You both wait! I definitely won't let you two adulterers get away with it! Going against our Lin Family, you won't have a good end!" Given the current situation, Shen Xia had no choice but to leave, but he wasn't willing to go without venting, so he spat a few words to save face. However, these words meant to regain dignity sounded differently to Hao Jian, provoking his displeased gaze. As the lord of Hua City, he had repeatedly told this person to leave, yet this guy not only didn't intend to leave but also made personal attacks before leaving?! Isn't this asking for death?! A foot stomped on the ground, and Hao Jian's figure suddenly drifted out. In Shen Xia's panicked eyes, Hao Jian's palm landed on him, pale blue light gathering in his palm. As Hao Jian's eyes flashed coldly, the power that was within Shen Xia's max tolerance was mercilessly unleashed onto him. A very muffled boom resounded here, but this time Shen Xia's body didn't fly out, causing the onlooking Lin Qingxue to be puzzled. Logically, Hao Jian should have sent Shen Xia flying... With a mocking curve on his lips, Hao Jian looked at Shen Xia, whose lips quivered and face turned pale, filled with ridicule. Shen Xia wanted to speak, but breaths came out of his mouth one after another, and the intense pain repeatedly stimulated his nerves, preventing him from speaking. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that at Shen Xia's abdomen, Hao Jian's palm pressed tightly. The clothes Shen Xia wore twisted bizarrely, like a vortex, with the center point at Hao Jian's palm. It seemed as though there was suction in Hao Jian's palm, drawing the clothes towards it, or perhaps not only the clothes, but also Shen Xia's flesh, being drawn to the extreme. "Consider this a lesson. Next time you see me, you'd better tuck your tail and run, otherwise I can't guarantee I won't use you as fish feed on a whim." In the end, Hao Jian glanced lightly at Shen Xia, releasing his Vigorous Qi with a push of his palm, sending Shen Xia stumbling to the ground nearby, trembling all over, his eyes flickering with fear. Just now, he almost thought he was going to die, that feeling of being torn between life and death made him wonder if his blood and flesh were being shredded. Such pain, he simply couldn't bear! Hao Jian didn't give Shen Xia a second glance; instead, he turned around to look at Lin Qingxue behind him and noticed her eyes were still red. He burst into laughter: "Stop crying. Didn't you say you wanted to show your proudest attitude with your best appearance for the upcoming events?" "I'll go with you, but you don't want to face them with a look that they'll mock, right? Though it doesn't matter much, I'll help you deal with them, but I know that's not the outcome you want." Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue composed herself, suppressing the sadness within. Her eyes soon lit up, and she smiled at Hao Jian, her slender hand grasping his arm: "Then let's go back together. I still need a while, will you wait for me?" "Isn't that obvious?" Hao Jian playfully knocked Lin Qingxue's forehead and laughed loudly, following behind her. Together, they entered the villa, shutting the door behind them, leaving Shen Xia at the doorstep. Once the two entered, Shen Xia finally felt able to breathe again, taking large gulps of air, his eyes ablaze. He punched the ground hard, producing a sound, but after a few hits, succumbing to the pain, Shen Xia gave up. With this thought, Shen Xia struggled to rise from the ground, limping towards his Hummer. Seeing the shattered glass, his face turned extremely unsightly, yet beneath this ugliness lay a subtle trace of fear. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Is there really someone in this world who can shatter a car window with their foot? And it's the window of a Hummer! Sitting in the car, Shen Xia couldn't care less and started the car, driving off just like that. "I'll make sure you know what real pain is." With venomous eyes, Shen Xia took one last look at the villa. His resentful voice echoed within the car, though it was unclear whether his words were directed at Hao Jian or Lin Qingxue. ........................... "Now you look spirited, this is the you I know." As soon as Lin Qingxue finished putting on makeup and getting dressed, Hao Jian's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at her with a faint hint of enchantment in his eyes. She wore a long white dress adorned with light blue accents, not monotonous at all. The diamond necklace around her neck shimmered with a captivating glow. Her neck resembled a swan's in elegance. The light makeup enhanced her already stunning features with a few extra alluring touches. Elegantly holding a pink Chanel mini bag, with a small crown atop her bun, she resembled a young princess out for a city stroll. "As long as you like it..." Lin Qingxue's face flushed slightly. Though she intended to present her best self to her family, she felt shy when she actually did it, especially in front of Hao Jian. Just as Hao Jian was about to tease Lin Qingxue a few words, her phone suddenly rang. She opened her purse and took out the phone. Her face, originally filled with bashfulness, changed instantly to a somewhat unpleasant expression. Seeing Lin Qingxue's reaction, Hao Jian asked curiously. He glanced at the phone number, noticing it was a series of digits without any notes. He didn't know who was calling Lin Qingxue. "It's my so-called father." Lin Qingxue spoke softly; Hao Jian's eyes flashed with a cold glint, about to say something but realized Lin Qingxue had already pressed the answer button. As soon as Lin Qingxue answered the call, a heavy and indisputable voice came through, making Lin Qingxue's face look even worse. "Don't you know what you did?! Your brother just called me. I saw your brother's injuries too. He's your brother, yet you can be so ruthless?!" "My brother? Haha, I've always been by myself. Where is this brother coming from?" Lin Qingxue sneered: "You want me to go back to defend your son or you plan to demand the inheritance and shares from me?" "But given your greedy nature, you probably intend to do both." Having been figured out by his own daughter, Lin Jiahao's face turned unpleasant. He snorted coldly: "I told you to come back, and you will come back!"
