Chapter 1450: Singing Girls Know Not the Grief of a Fallen Nation!
Capital City, Lian Family Mansion.
Ever since the succession of mishaps at home occurred, the Lian Family has essentially become a shell of its former self.
Many key members have left and started anew elsewhere. Even some of the elders have left the Lin Family Ancestral Hall to establish their own households.
The family, which once basked in glory, is now in ruins, with barely any house servants left.
The nominal Lin Family Master, Lin Lianhai, now indulges daily in debauchery. He found some peripheral models from the outskirts of Capital City to accompany him in carousing, lavishly squandering the remnants of the Lian family’s wealth.
There’s no alternative. He doesn’t wish to live this way, but besides indulging in decadent dreams, he has no other choice.
He was scared witless by Jiang Feng and only feels safe when he stays within the confines of his home, drowning his sorrows in intoxication, allowing him to live in a delusory state.
At this moment, two unexpected visitors arrived at the entrance of the Lian Family.
"Is this really the Lian Family? For a family of Capital City stature, you’d think someone would clean up the trash at the entrance?" Wang Shan frowned, noticing the ground full of fallen leaves, seemingly untouched for a long time.
"Are we at the wrong place? This doesn’t seem like somewhere Dongfang Chi would be loyal to." Xue Li also frowned.
No matter how you look at it, Dongfang Chi’s power was on par with theirs, both being Absolute Peak Eighth and Ninth Level!
Such status may not mean much at Netherworld Hall, but in the secular world, they are significant masters who wouldn’t need to serve as tributors in such a decrepit place.
"We’re not mistaken. Let’s go inside and see!"
Wang Shan snorted coldly and kicked open the door directly!
The large wooden door, which holds a history of over a hundred years, shattered under his kick, wood chips flying everywhere!
"What the hell, who are you?"
The few remaining house servants rushed out immediately after hearing the commotion.
They glared at the intruders in anger!
What a joke, though the Lian Family may not be what it once was, it still held the background of a prestigious family, and these two were daringly reckless!
"Is this the Lian Family?"
Wang Shan took the lead, walking in arrogantly: "Just a few of you guys here, where’s the style of a grand family?"
The house servants were speechless. How could someone be so brazen? They kicked the door down to enter and then disparage the lack of people?
"Outrageous! What are you to dare intrude upon the Lin Family Mansion, you..."
The leading house servant didn’t finish his sentence before Wang Shan, as swift as a ghost, closed in on him, holding him by the neck and lifting him up.
"Stop!!"
The other house servants, both shocked and angered, wanted to help but were forced back by Wang Shan’s sharp glare!
"I’m asking you, is Dongfang Chi here?" Wang Shan asked straightforwardly.
"Dong... Dongfang Chi?" The house servant, his neck held by Wang Shan, trembled in terror: "You’re looking for Lord Chi?"
"Nonsense! I’m asking where he is!"
Wang Shan spoke harshly, squeezing with his hand, making the house servant’s throat crack, seemingly on the verge of breaking.
"Dong... Lord Chi, he isn’t here..."
The house servant felt a cold suffocation, yet couldn’t struggle, his eyes rolling back as he replied in despair.
"Not here?"
At this point, Xue Li stepped forward, asking calmly: "Why lie about it? Isn’t Dongfang Chi your family’s tributor?"
"Lord Dongfang Chi... was our Lian Family’s tributor... but he was... he was killed..." The house servant said in agony: "Not just him... but also Lord Pig and Lord Chang Chunweng..."
"What did you say? Dongfang Chi’s been killed?!"
Wang Shan was astonished!
He couldn’t care less about Pig King and Chang Chunweng, but hearing about Dongfang Chi’s death came as quite a shock.
However, Dongfang Chi was an Absolute Peak Ninth Level master, like them! How could he be killed in this mundane world?
Was it done by one of Capital City’s genuine top-tier families?
But it logically shouldn’t be the case. Dongfang Chi knew better and with the Lian Family’s standing, they wouldn’t offend such grand families!
"Do you dare lie to me? Want me to kill you instantly?"
Wang Shan spoke coldly, applying more force, causing the house servant’s throat to crush, blood gushing from his mouth!
"Sir! Our manager isn’t lying!"
At this moment, the remaining house servants, tearful and terrified, said to Wang Shan: "Lord Dongfang Chi really is dead! Killed by a Jiang surname youth from Jiangdong, the body wasn’t even retrieved..."
Wang Shan frowned, could it be true?!
Jiangdong? Jiang surname youth???
Such an obscure person could actually kill Dongfang Chi?!
With a "plop," Wang Shan released his grip, dropping the house servant who’d had his throat crushed.
Sadly, the house servant couldn’t hold on, already dead, lying on the ground with a twisted neck.
"Take me to your family head!" Wang Shan commanded coldly.
"Yes, yes..."
Witnessing the manager’s death, the house servants were scared witless, daring not to defy, leading Wang Shan and Xue Li to the inner residence.
At this time, Lin Lianhai was still inside, indulging in pleasure, holding an unrestricted gathering.
He had invited five fresh models, each heavily intoxicated. These models giggled and flirted continuously, pleasing him.
The saying "courtesans would not know the grief of a fallen nation" aptly describes such a scene.
From a distance, Wang Shan and Xue Li saw the chaotic scene inside and felt a surge of disgust!
But besides that, they felt deep contempt!
"Is this your family’s head?"
Wang Shan turned coldly to the house servants, who looked pale: "I asked you to take me to the Lin Family Master, and you dare mock me?!"
"Thud!!!"
Upon hearing this, the house servants knelt before Wang Shan, crying bitterly: "Sir! We wouldn’t dare deceive you! It’s true, that’s our family head, the old master and other heirs are dead, now only he... legitimately inherited the Lian Family..."
All dead?!
Wang Shan frowned deeply, what on earth happened to the Lian Family?
He couldn’t be bothered with the house servants anymore, directly striding into the inner chamber alongside Xue Li and kicking open the door!
"Ah!"
Inside, five stark naked beautiful women were serving Lin Zekai with drinks, and seeing intruders, they screamed in fright, hurriedly snatching their clothes to cover up.
In their panic and anxiety, they didn’t cover up properly, still revealing much of their charms...
"You’re the Lin Family Master? Quite a fortune! Is Dongfang Chi truly hidden by you, or did he really die in Jiangdong?"
Wang Shan, his greedy gaze leaving the five beauties, fixed a cold stare on Lin Lianhai and asked!
