"What?"
Seeing Lin Nianfo's head roll to the ground, the Lin family and the guests present widened their pupils in an instant.
No one expected that Shen Lang would actually dare to kill Lin Nianfo, and in such a wild and brutal manner, beheading him with one knife.
That was Lin Nianfo, the real big shot of Nanling. He killed him just like that?
"Shen Lang, you son of a bitch, you really are..."
Ye Shishi's pupils were filled with shock from her soul as she looked at Shen Lang, wanting to say something, but found herself unable to utter a single word.
Tonight, Shen Lang faced the entire Lin family alone, first poisoning hundreds of old subordinates of the Lin family, then severely injuring Can Dao, and finally beheading Lin Nianfo with a single strike.
Terrifying, this bastard is too terrifying.
Yang Ce's reaction was no different from Ye Shishi's.
He looked at the old man in black next to him and said, "Mr. Tang, this kid just fought with Can Dao. He must be injured. Now that you make a move, what's your chance of killing him?"
"Not even one percent."
The old man in black said, "His fighting spirit is at its peak, and his killing intent is strong, like a awakened bloodthirsty lion. Not to mention I can't be sure if he's injured, even if he is, if I go up now, I will die under his blade."
"Your Highness, I won't seek revenge for this kid, because if I do, there's a 99.9% chance I'll die by his hand."
"As for you, if you want to kill him, I advise you to only make a move when you have an opportunity for a killing blow, otherwise, you will end up like Lin Nianfo, beheaded by him with a single saber."
"What?"
Yang Ce was shocked to hear the old man in black's words.
He never expected that Tang Hao, the "Blood Hand Asura" known for his vindictiveness and ruthlessness, who always avenged blood with blood and tooth for tooth, would give up seeking revenge for his disciple.
What surprised him even more was that after saying this, Tang Hao, with deep fear, quietly retreated out of the door, as if he had never appeared.
"Girl, do you see? This is your future husband."
Wang Yunchuan looked at his granddaughter and smiled, "You lost your bet."
"How... is it possible?"
The white-clothed girl did not answer Wang Yunchuan's words, but stared intently at Shen Lang on the high platform, so shocked that she could only say after a while, "This bumpkin, how can he be so powerful, so terrifying?"
The Lin family was a giant in Nanling, suppressing all forces in Nanling for years, making them unable to breathe.
Small families like the Wang family could only survive precariously under the pressure of the Lin family, living in fear and carefully trying to please them, lest they offend the Lin family by mistake and be destroyed.
And Shen Lang alone not only exposed the Lin family's crimes but also beheaded the Lin family patriarch Lin Nianfo with a single saber. This power made the white-clothed girl doubt her own eyes.
This bumpkin, how can he be so terrifying?
"Dad—"
"Old Master—"
While the white-clothed girl was completely unable to accept what was happening before her eyes, Lin Zhengyi and Lin Tianxiong and other Lin family members shouted in shock.
"Kid, you dare to kill people?"
All the Lin family members were completely unable to accept the outcome of Lin Nianfo being beheaded by Shen Lang with a single saber. They looked at Shen Lang, shocked and angry, and shouted.
"The Lin family's crimes include Lin Nianfo, and they include you too. Since Lin Nianfo is dead, you will all die with him."
Facing the questioning from Lin Zhengyi and the Lin family, Shen Lang said nothing more. He slowly raised the Tang saber in his hand, about to attack the Lin family again.
But at this moment, a hasty alarm sounded outside the door.
"Swish—"
The next second, more than thirty armed guards rushed in in unison.
Leading them was a female guard, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall, fair-skinned, beautiful, and valiant.
Her face was like a layer of ice, so cold that no one dared to approach. She shouted sternly, "I am Gu Qinghan from the Nanling Security Department. We received a report of someone committing murder here. We hope everyone will cooperate."
"What?"
"She is Gu Qinghan?"
Everyone present was shocked to hear the female guard announce her name.
Gu Qinghan, the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Nanling Security Department, was known for her iron fist. Even the most ruthless criminals had to shed a layer of skin when they met her.
No one expected Gu Qinghan to appear here. What was going on?
Lin Zhengyi also did not expect Gu Qinghan to appear, and that she brought so many armed guards.
However, after a brief surprise, Lin Zhengyi seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He strode forward and shouted at Gu Qinghan, "Director Gu, it's great that you're here."
Lin Zhengyi pointed at Shen Lang and said indignantly, "Today is my father's 80th birthday. This kid named Shen Lang not only carried a coffin to cause trouble but also madly killed my father. You must severely punish the criminal and avenge my father!"
Looking at Lin Zhengyi, who looked wronged and even tearful, Gu Qinghan snorted, "Lin Zhengyi, you just said that the person named Shen Lang killed Lin Nianfo, right?"
"Yes—"
Lin Zhengyi nodded when he heard this.
"In other words, he only killed Lin Nianfo. So, I want to know, who are the hundreds of people dead on the ground, and who killed them?"
Gu Qinghan's gaze was like a knife, fixed on Lin Zhengyi, and she said.
"This..."
Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Lin Zhengyi's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he couldn't utter a single word.
The dead Lin family subordinates, hundreds of them, were all on the red notice list, either heinous death row inmates or criminals.
They were still alive all these years only because the Lin family harbored them.
Harboring hundreds of death row inmates or criminals on the red notice list was a disaster of extinction for the Lin family.
Lin Zhengyi never expected Gu Qinghan to be so sharp and find the Lin family's sore spot with one remark, completely unsure how to answer.
"Hmph—"
Seeing that Lin Zhengyi could not speak, Gu Qinghan snorted coldly, bypassed Lin Zhengyi, and walked in front of Shen Lang. A hint of a smile appeared on her icy face, "The matter of the golden boy and jade girl in Nanling more than ten years ago, I have been investigating for years, but lacked the crucial evidence. I didn't expect you to make Lin Nianfo personally admit it. Well done."
"However, after getting the evidence, you should have directly handed it over to the Security Department instead of coming here impulsively. It was too dangerous. Fortunately, you are unharmed."
She stretched out her fair, slender fingers, as white as scallions, and said to Shen Lang, "Give me the recording. Leave the rest to me. I won't disappoint you, because we are the same kind of people."
This was Shen Lang's first time seeing Gu Qinghan, but his intuition told him that this icy person in front of him could be trusted.
Therefore, Shen Lang didn't say a word and directly took out his phone and handed it to Gu Qinghan, "I only played a part of the recording at the birthday banquet just now. The complete recording is in the phone. I believe it will be helpful to you."
Seeing that Shen Lang didn't suspect her at all and handed the phone directly to her, Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled again.
Her smile was like melting ice and snow, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring.
At this moment, Gu Qinghan looked like a gentle elder sister. No one could believe that she was the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Security Department, whom criminals in Nanling feared.
Ye Shishi, standing by the side, frowned, "Damn Gu Qinghan, you promised to grow old together as single best friends, and now you're developing a crush and want to break free from singledom?"
