The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1784 Enough is Enough, Keep Enduring!

Dongyue Temple
Watching Gao Yanei leave with his men, Lin Chong stepped forward and asked, "Wife, are you alright?"

Looking at Lin Chong, Li Qingzhao said with disdain, "Are you even a man? Your wife is being humiliated, and you just stand by and do nothing!"

Upon hearing Li Qingzhao's words, Lin Chong turned his head away in shame.
How could he not want to stand up for his wife? But the other party was Gao Yanei. How could he, with his small arms and legs, possibly stand up for himself?

"Thank you so much, miss. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be too ashamed to face anyone!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude towards Li Qingzhao, Zhang Zhenniang couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Hearing Zhang Zhenniang's words, Li Qingzhao was even more furious, but she still looked at Zhang Zhenniang and said, "I helped you out of this predicament today, but what will you do if Gao Yanei comes to your door again in the future?"

"Ah! He's coming again?"

Looking at Li Qingzhao in disbelief, Zhang Zhenniang's eyes widened in astonishment.
Lin Chong remained silent, knowing that the women Gao Yanei had his eye on were basically doomed to fail!

"As your husband, why haven't you said a word?"

Turning to look at Lin Chong, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but question him.
Upon hearing Li Qingzhao's words, Lin Chong replied bitterly, "Gao Yanei's godfather is Yang Jian, so what can I do?"

Looking at Lin Chong, Li Qingzhao immediately pointed at him and shouted angrily, "You good-for-nothing! It's a waste that you're so tall and strong. Your wife is so unlucky to have married you!"

"Miss, I believe my husband has his reasons for not speaking out!"

Holding Li Qingzhao's hand, Zhang Zhenniang couldn't bear to see Lin Chong so distressed, so she could only offer kind words of comfort.

Looking at Zhang Zhenniang before her, Li Qingzhao felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely petrified on the spot.

Because Zhang Zhenniang was risking her own safety to protect Lin Chong!

But because of his wife, Lin Chong dared not utter a single word!

It's worth noting that after Lin Chong was framed, he divorced her and went to Cangzhou!

Didn't he consider what would happen if he left Zhang Zhenniang alone in the capital when he left?

Even after joining Liangshan, he never thought of bringing Zhang Zhenniang over!

Afterwards, under Gao Yanei's relentless pressure, Zhang Zhenniang had no choice but to hang herself.
But Lin Chong, who knew about this, remained silent when Song Jiang released Gao Qiu.
How could someone like him possibly be worthy of Zhang Zhenniang, who protected his innocence?

Killing one's father, stealing one's wife, destroying one's country, and annihilating one's family are the four great hatreds. If one is involved in any one of them, it is a life-or-death struggle unless one side's bloodline is completely severed!
Lin Chong, that green-haired turtle, was able to tolerate it, so it's no wonder Zhang Cheng would despise him.

After all, Lu Yan, who possessed the Four Great Hatreds, was just like that. He transformed all his hatred into overwhelming resentment. Even after thousands of years, he would still go crazy upon hearing the name Murong!

Lu Yan: Xianbei Murong, Murong Ke, Holy crap!
Murong Ke:
"Great! You're really something!"

Giving a thumbs-up, Li Qingzhao looked at Lin Chong, then turned and left with her maid.
Looking at his wife beside him, Lin Chong said, "Madam, I..."

"I understand! My husband, you don't need to blame yourself!"

While comforting Lin Chong, Zhang Zhenniang also felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
After all, her husband stood by indifferently during her most dangerous time.
But how could Zhang Zhenniang, as a wife, blame her husband?

Back in his grand mansion, Gao Yanei found Zhang Zhenniang increasingly alluring.
Seeing Gao Yanei, Lu Qian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young master, are you still thinking about the woman from today?"

"That's right, do you have some ideas?"

Looking at Lu Qian beside him, Gao Yanei asked,

"Young Master, this is all we really need!"

He leaned close to Gao Yanei's ear and spoke, and Lu Qian immediately gave him an idea.
"Great, great, great!"

He clapped his fan, and Gao Yanei's smile was particularly lewd. A few days later, taking advantage of Lin Chong's absence, someone came to fetch Zhang Zhenniang, saying he had gotten drunk at Lu Qian's house.
Upon learning of this, Zhang Zhenniang immediately went to Lu Qian's house.

But to everyone's surprise, not only was Lin Chong nowhere to be found, but even Lu Qian was absent.

"My beauty, we meet again!"

Looking at Zhang Zhenniang with amusement, Gao Yanei stepped forward with a mocking expression, licking his lips.

Staring in astonishment at Gao Yanei, Zhang Zhenniang panicked.
But just then, a person suddenly walked in from outside the door, and unexpectedly it was Lin Chong.
It was only because the maid Jin'er was clever that she went to find Lin Chong and called for her sister-in-law to open the door downstairs; otherwise, something terrible might have happened!
Upon realizing Lin Chong was about to rush in, Gao Yanei quickly jumped out of the window and escaped.

However, he was even angrier at this, because if Lin Chong were there, how could he possibly do it!
Seeing his wife safe and sound, Lin Chong was filled with lingering fear, for he never expected that Lu Qian would betray him, a fellow "brother," and choose to curry favor with Gao Yanei!

Back at his residence, Gao Yanei immediately hesitated, so he went to find Yang Jian.

After Gao Qiu left, Yang Jian felt that Zhao Ji must be short of people to play with, so he was transferred back to Bianliang. Otherwise, how could he have taken over Gao Qiu's huge fortune?
"Godfather!"

Looking at Yang Jian with utmost respect, Gao Yanei was at this moment filled with the utmost reverence.
"Speak, what brings you here?"

Looking calmly at Gao Yanei, Yang Jian actually looked down on this "son."

However, for the sake of that money, he could only "take care of things a little."
After all, Gao Yanei's crimes were nothing more than sordid affairs between men and women, which Yang Jian could easily handle!

"Godfather, I've suffered so much today! That Lin Chong actually tried to kill me!"

Looking at Yang Jian in front of him, Gao Yanei immediately began to complain.
Looking at Gao Yanei in front of him, Yang Jian asked, "Who is Lin Chong?"

"The Imperial Guard Instructor!"

As he explained to Yang Jian, Gao Yanei looked at his "godfather" expectantly.
After a moment of silence, Yang Jian, without even raising his eyelids, said, "He's just a mere instructor. We'll find a crime to punish him and send him to exile tomorrow!"

As a close advisor to the emperor, Yang Jian was cunning and shrewd. What was a mere instructor compared to a high-ranking official like Lin Chong? He could easily crush him underfoot. He quickly fabricated charges against Lin Chong and exiled him.

When Lin Chong was escorted to the front and back of the Palace Guard's office, he realized that Gao Yanei had no intention of letting him go.

Looking at the slanderous letters, Lin Chong had no words to express his bitterness.
After all, you can't fight city hall. What can a mere coach do? Get angry and fly into a rage?
Unfortunately, he had the ability, but not the courage!

After going to his father-in-law's house and writing a letter of divorce, Lin Chong accepted his fate.

Faced with her husband who had abandoned her, Zhang Zhenniang wept bitterly, but still vowed to remain faithful to him.

After Lin Chong left, Gao Yanei became even more unscrupulous, kicking open the door to Zhang Zhenniang's house.

However, this time, Gao Yanei had clearly miscalculated, because someone was waiting for him there.
Watching everything unfold before his eyes, Shi Qian felt as if the sky had fallen.
His elder brother sent him to Bianliang not only to gather intelligence, but also to see if Lin Chong was a capable ally.
But now it seems that Lin Chong is utterly hopeless!
If he dared to make a move, Shi Qian would risk his life to defend the other side, even if it was just to obey his elder brother's orders.

But Lin Chong, just like the Green-haired Turtle, wrote a letter of divorce and ran away!
"You damn bastard, you're really making Uncle Shi Qian furious!"

Looking at Gao Yanei before him, Shi Qian stroked his mustache and squinted.

Over the years, by his elder brother's side, Shi Qian, even as a petty thief, had developed an air of authority—a kind of murderous aura forged in battle.
"You, who are you?"

Looking at Shi Qian in front of him, Gao Yanei panicked.
But just then, several people appeared outside the gate and surrounded him.

Holding steel knives, they all stared coldly at Gao Yanei.
"Who am I? I am Shi Qian! My elder brother is Zhang Cheng, the King of Southern Xinjiang!"

Looking domineeringly at Gao Yanei, Shi Qian stood up and said, "Chop him into mincemeat!"
