After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Wang Zhao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly coughed violently. He looked up and stared intently at Lin Li, his eyes filled with resentment, not regret.

"Deserved punishment? Hahahaha... What a fine 'deserved punishment'!"

He coughed up blood while laughing maniacally, his laughter shrill and piercing: "Lin Li, do you think your Lin family is anything good? Do you think your dead father was some kind of gentleman?!"

"All of this... is what your Lin family owes us! It's the retribution you deserve!"

Lin Li frowned and said coldly, "Trying to throw dirty water on someone about to die?"

"Splashing dirty water? Pshaw!"

Wang Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth as he said, "You'll probably never know how your hypocritical father, Lin Mu, amassed his fortune back then, will you?"

"Twenty-five years ago, at Jiangcheng University, Lin Mu and my older brother were close friends and members of the same research group."

"Back then, my older brother developed a new material technology that was poised to change the entire industry! It was the culmination of his hard work, the result of countless sleepless nights!"

Wang Zhao's eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if he could see his elder brother's spirited appearance again.

"But Lin Mu, that hypocrite! To monopolize this project and to use its results to make his first fortune, he actually plotted to frame my older brother!"

"He drugged my older brother's drink, hired a hairdresser to seduce him, and then brought his boss to catch him in the act!"

"No matter how my older brother explained, no one believed him. He was expelled from school and his reputation was ruined!"

"But that beast Lin Mu took the project's results, transformed himself into a young entrepreneur, founded the Lin Group, and is now enjoying immense success!"

As Wang Zhao spoke, he became increasingly agitated, ending by glaring at Lin Li with resentment: "My older brother suffered from depression for three whole years because of this! Our Wang family also endured endless scorn and ridicule from relatives and friends because of this!"

"It was your father who ruined my elder brother! He destroyed the hope of our Wang family!"

"So we're going to take revenge! We're going to take back what's rightfully ours! We're going to make sure every member of your Lin family suffers a terrible death!"

Lin Li frowned. In his memory, his father had always been a gentle, upright, and kind man who had taught him from a young age to be honest and upright.

He could never have imagined that his father had such a past when he was young.

If it's true, then the methods my father used back then were indeed despicable.

but……

"Is the story finished?"

"Fabricated? It's true! Your father admitted it himself!"

Wang Zhao glared angrily at Lin Li, wishing he could devour him alive.

"Even if it's true, so what?"

Lin Li remained expressionless and said coldly, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If my father owes you something, you are free to seek revenge on him, and I have nothing to say about that."

"but!"

He stomped on Wang Zhao's chest and roared, "What did my older brother do wrong? What did my mother do wrong?"

"To vent your anger, you not only killed my father, but you also wanted to wipe out my entire family!"

Lin Li's eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent. "This isn't the revenge you're talking about. Your Wang family is just greedy!"

He repays kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. If the Wang family had only killed his father back then, he would never have done what he did today!

"Since you believe this is the Lin family's fate, a karmic retribution..."

Lin Li had no desire to argue with Wang Zhao any longer. "Then I'll wipe out your entire Wang family, ensuring you have no descendants. That's your fate!"

"Your wife and children, Wang Sheng's wife and children, and all your direct blood relatives—I will not spare a single one!"

"No...no!"

Wang Zhao's arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by a look of fear. "You can't do this! They're innocent!"

Lin Li looked at Wang Zhao, who looked terrified, and suddenly smiled.

"Wang Zhao, do you think that the reason I haven't made a move against Wang Ling is because I still have feelings for her?"

Wang Zhao was taken aback; that was indeed what he thought.

Although Wang Ling betrayed Lin Li back then, he saw that Lin Li had never made a move against her, so he assumed that Lin Li still had feelings for Wang Ling.

This is also the Wang family's last trump card.

"It seems you really think so."

Lin Li shook his head, a hint of mockery in his voice: "A woman who would sell her body and betray her feelings for profit, do you think I would have any lingering feelings for her?"

"The reason I kept her was not because I couldn't bear to, but because..."

Thinking of what Wang Ling had done, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want her to watch the Wang family crumble bit by bit, watch her loved ones die one by one, watch everything she owns vanish into nothingness. Just thinking about it will fill her with despair and fear!"

Wang Zhao shuddered, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

"However, I can also give you two brothers a chance."

Lin Li changed the subject, held up three fingers, and said coldly, "Three days. I'll give you three days."

"In these three days, you will return all the Lin family's assets that your Wang family swallowed up, with interest. Not a single penny less."

"Three days later, you and Wang Sheng will commit suicide."

"If you can do these two things, I might consider letting go of the remaining elderly, women and children of the Wang family, including your illegitimate son who is hiding abroad."

Wang Mei was taken aback when she heard this, and looked up at her father.

An illegitimate child? He actually has an illegitimate child abroad?!

"If you can't do that..."

Lin Li's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said menacingly, "Then I will kill every single member of the Wang family and make them disappear from this world completely!"

"Did you understand?"

Wang Zhao stared blankly at Lin Li, his lips trembling uncontrollably. After a long while, he finally nodded: "I understand... I understand..."

impossible!

His son has never returned to China, so how did Lin Li know about this?!

"very good."

Lin Li patiently emphasized again, "Remember, you only have three days. Don't try anything funny, and don't even think about running away."

……

Lin Li rode his bicycle, leisurely enjoying the evening breeze.

The reason he gave the Wang family three days was certainly not out of kindness, nor was it to wait for the Wang family to sell their assets.

What he did was fish.

The Wang family was able to acquire the Lin Group so smoothly back then; it would have been impossible for Wang Sheng and Wang Zhao to do so with just their abilities.

The Che family behind them was the real culprit who destroyed the Lin family.

Che Dongqi not only interfered in the destruction of the Lin family, but also in the affairs of Zhiyuan Group. He and Wang Sheng are the two major shareholders of the company, and even Wang Zhao is no match for him.

If Lin Li were to kill Wang Sheng and Wang Zhao now, he could get revenge, but if he wanted to take back the Lin family's assets, he would definitely face obstruction from the Che family.

Moreover, such a large-scale asset transfer and equity change requires the signature of the major shareholder.

Therefore, Lin Li must put pressure on the Wang family in order to lure Che Dongqi, this big fish, to Jiangcheng!
