Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 98 Lin Family
The next day.

As night falls, countless stars adorn the deep blue sky.

At seven o'clock, at the Zidong Villa in the southeast of Jiangcheng, a fleet of brightly colored luxury cars, exuding an air of nobility, slowly and orderly drove into the basement under the command of uniformed soldiers.

"Brothers, there are a lot of people today, so please be careful."

"I know, Captain."

Having been notified in advance, the guards knew that these people shared the same destination: to go to the Lin family home to attend Old Master Lin's 70th birthday celebration.

Although Elder Lin is over seventy years old, for a martial artist with great strength and vigorous blood, this age is still considered to be in his prime.

They, as soldiers, also held Mr. Lin in high esteem.

Although they weren't Lin Lao's soldiers, it's common knowledge that Lin Lao was not only fearless in protecting his country and its people, but also famously strict in his family education.

To his family, he was not only a man of his word, but also somewhat cold and unapproachable.

Mr. Lin once said that none of his children or descendants should use his name to seek personal gain.

If someone commits a fundamental error, no matter who they are or how much they are favored, they will be severely punished, and in serious cases, they may even be expelled from the family.

Seven or eight years ago, Mr. Lin broke his youngest son's leg and kicked him out of the house. He also publicly announced that he was severing his father-son relationship.

Perhaps it was this kind of family education that led to Lin's children having great respect and even fear for their father, and they were all very successful, with many of them active in the military and political circles and holding important positions.

Some business people have also achieved remarkable results.

In Jiangcheng, although the Lin family cannot be compared with the top families, they are not comparable to ordinary families either.

Now, upon hearing the news of Elder Lin's birthday, people bring gifts and come to offer their congratulations.

Those who came to offer birthday wishes were all wealthy and influential, and their purposes varied.

Some came to expand their network, since many important figures in Jiangcheng would be coming to offer their birthday wishes today. Of course, some came for personal reasons, while others came simply to wish Mr. Lin a happy birthday because they admired his character.

"Mr. Zhang, you've arrived! Please come in. My dad has been talking about you lately."

"I have to come to your dad's birthday celebration no matter how far away you are. You've gotten fat again. Even if you don't practice martial arts, you still need to be careful about high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar."

Outside the high-ceilinged foyer, the square gate made of gray stone is sharp and imposing, exuding a sense of majesty.

"Mr. Zhang is right. I'm currently trying to lose weight, but it's not working well."

At the main entrance, Lin Anbang greeted guests who came to offer their birthday wishes from time to time.

As Mr. Lin's eldest son, Lin Anbang is 48 years old this year. He is obviously overweight due to middle age, and his belly looks like he is seven or eight months pregnant.

Although he is often teased about his figure, Lin Anbang is not angry and even smiles and makes a few self-deprecating remarks.

"Is Fifth Sister not coming today?"

Although Lin Anbang was receiving guests, his eyes were constantly searching through the crowd.

"Brother, you're so bold today, daring to make such a decision on your own. Aren't you afraid the old man will turn on you?"

Lin Xinyuan, the third among the seven siblings, expressed some concern about his eldest brother's actions of acting without prior notice.

You have to understand that with the old man's personality, if he loses his temper, he doesn't care how old you are or how many children you have; if he catches you, he'll give you a beating.

That's not just a simple lesson; it's a serious matter. If you're not careful, you could be bedridden for ten days or half a month.

"That's right, Lao Lin. Today is the old man's birthday, so don't do anything foolish."

A middle-aged woman with a beautiful face and dressed in an elegant gown also offered her advice.

Lin Anbang was somewhat dismissive of his wife's and third brother's advice, saying, "I finally found my fifth sister, why are you saying such discouraging things?"

"Besides, it's the old man's birthday today, with so many guests. How could he possibly turn against him in front of his comrades and former leaders?"

At this point, Lin Anbang straightened his collar and said confidently, "The old man doesn't celebrate his ordinary birthdays. At most, the whole family will have a meal together. He only holds a big celebration for his once-in-a-decade birthday. If you miss such a good opportunity, you won't have another chance."

"I was wondering why you were so enthusiastic about the old man's birthday this year, and why you invited all his old comrades and leaders. So that's what you were planning."

Lin Xinyuan suddenly realized something.

He hadn't seen his fifth sister for over twenty years, and naturally missed her very much.

"Dad, weren't you going to surprise me today? It's not Auntie Wu, is it?"

Standing next to Lin Anbang was a boy with a buzz cut.

The boy was wearing a black tracksuit. He had a well-proportioned figure, red lips and white teeth, and bright, spirited eyes that revealed a hint of wit and childlike innocence. His slightly crooked lips would occasionally curl into a mischievous smile. Overall, he could be considered a handsome young man.

"No, I've found you a boss. With him protecting you, you can really let loose at Hongyun University."

Lin Anbang touched his son's buzz cut; it did feel quite nice.

Lin Xiaofei was a little confused. He originally thought that if he got into Hongyun University, his dad would give him a car. How come he was looking for a boss for him?

"Dad, you might as well find me a girlfriend. Don't you know what your son is capable of? Who has the right to protect me?" Lin Xiaofei said with a smile.

With his ninth-level physical cultivation, and the ability to refine a demon spirit of the eighth rank, he would likely be considered a master even among the new generation of Hongyun cultivators.

"Haha, your strength is not bad, but you're still a bit lacking compared to true geniuses. Don't be so arrogant. I hope you'll still have the courage to say that when the time comes!"

Lin Anbang chuckled.

He was really looking forward to seeing his son's expression when he saw Lin Feng!
In fact, Lin Anbang was not unaware of his father's temper. He dared to act first and inform his father later, not only because there were guests present, but also because of Lin Feng.

Even if the father was still angry with his fifth sister, he probably wouldn't directly drive away such a promising grandson.

Besides missing his fifth sister, it's undeniable that he also had some selfish motives.

Just as he told his son, Lin Anbang did indeed want to find an elder brother for his son.

As a father, Lin Anbang knows his son Lin Xiaofei very well.

Lin Xiaofei was able to get into Hongyun University, which is naturally due to his talent. However, with his talent and strength, he is really not in the same league as the true prodigies of Hongyun University.

In addition, Lin Xiaofei's personality is somewhat impulsive and immature, which makes his father very worried.

If it weren't for his family's military background, Lin Anbang would have preferred his son to attend Moxing or Changcheng instead of Hongyun.

Among the three hero academies, although Red Cloud University ranks last in terms of reputation and overall strength, it does not mean that Red Cloud's students are weak.

Compared to the Great Wall and Demon Star, Hongyun University's biggest advantage is that it has two otherworldly portals within its campus, allowing any student to enter the otherworld at any time to adventure and hunt monsters.

This is why Hongyun's students are stronger in actual combat, but correspondingly, their casualty rate remains high, the highest among the three hero academies.

Although Lin Anbang did not practice martial arts, he was well-informed as a businessman.

After unexpectedly learning that Lin Feng was Fifth Sister's child, he conducted an in-depth investigation into Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's relationship with Yun Kai and Dong Yunan at school was no secret, and given that the three of them were admitted to Hongyun University together, even an idiot would know that this was no coincidence.

Without a doubt, with Lin Feng's help, Lin Xiaofei could have done whatever he wanted at Hongyun University.

If I were to enter another world and join a team with Lin Feng, my safety would be guaranteed, and I could improve my strength much faster.

Although the Lin family held a certain status in Jiangcheng, they couldn't help Lin Xiaofei at Hongyun University.

"real or fake?"

Lin Xiaofei was somewhat unconvinced, but seeing that his father didn't seem to be bluffing, he didn't refute him, only muttering something under his breath.

"Big brother, don't worry about Xiaofei's surprise yet. How did you find Fifth Sister? How is she doing in Beijing? How many children has she had? Big brother, please tell me in advance!"

Lin Xinyuan pressed on Lin Anbang's stomach, swaying it like waves, and asked with a smile.

"Snapped!"

Lin Anbang slapped Lin Xinyuan's hand away, looked around, and said irritably, "In front of so many people, you should pay attention to your image. If Fifth Sister is here today, you will naturally know. If she is not here, we can talk about it later."

After saying this, Lin Anbang still couldn't find Fifth Sister's figure and sighed inwardly.

If it weren't for an accident, he would never have known that his fifth sister wasn't in Beijing, but in Jiangcheng, living in the same city as them, and perhaps they had even bumped into each other at some corner.

"After all these years, are you still deliberately avoiding me?"

A thought flashed through Lin Anbang's mind.

Because he had looked for Fifth Sister more than once, but could never find her.

Because Fifth Sister's ID information has never been registered, her bank card transaction records, as well as her social security and medical insurance records that could be traced, have long stopped being updated.

Clearly, if it wasn't an accident, then Fifth Sister deliberately kept her whereabouts a secret from them.

They didn't know much about the man that made Fifth Sister disregard everything and give up everything to be with him. They had only met him once and knew that he was from a prominent family in the capital, but they didn't know his specific identity.

It wasn't until a month ago, because of Lin Feng, that he discovered Fifth Sister. He never expected that she would even change her name to avoid them.

Her name is no longer Lin Zhifeng, but Lin Fang.

The man she had once been willing to give her all for had clearly abandoned her and her child.

Only then did Lin Anbang understand why his fifth sister had been avoiding them and hadn't dared to go home all these years.

"Brother, let's go."

Seeing that there were no more guests and the birthday banquet was about to begin, Lin Xinyuan advised.

"Hey, you guys go in first, I'll wait a bit longer!"

Lin Anbang was still somewhat unwilling to give up, so he waited alone for a while until his father's strong voice came from afar, before reluctantly walking into the villa.

He didn't notice that two figures were slowly walking towards him not far away.
