Chapter 416: You’re Absolutely Genius
Lin Li’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
He had no idea who had done this to him, but he could guarantee it wasn’t Lin Xuan. The day Lin Xuan saw that “it” was gone, the look of shock on his face couldn’t have been faked.
But still, he couldn’t find the person who did this to him. Maybe, just maybe, he could pin all of this on Lin Xuan.
The more vicious Lin Xuan seemed to the Lin family, the more they would despise him, and the less chance Lin Xuan would have of returning to the Lin family.
“It’s him!” Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.
“Before I went abroad for exchange studies, Lin Xuan captured me and tortured me. He even made me drink some root-cutting water.”
“I didn’t dare tell you because it already happened. I was afraid you’d worry, and I feared you’d hate me.”
“Dad, Mom, Sister, I never imagined that Lin Xuan not only wanted to turn me into a eunuch but also planned to expose this at my wedding.”
“What did I do wrong? Why is Brother doing this to me?”
Lin Li broke down, covering his face with his hands as he crouched on the ground.
“Does Brother hate me for taking his privileged life in the Lin family? It’s my fault…my fault…”
Jiang Shuqin comforted him with deep sympathy. “Li’er, don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, I will always treat you as my son.”
“That’s right, Xiaoli, don’t worry too much. You’ll always be our dear little brother,” Lin Qingwan joined in to console him.
Lin Chang had no time to comfort Lin Li. His mind was a mess.
Is Li’er really sperm-free now?
Lin Xuan shook his head disdainfully.
Looks like he got saddled with another big black pot again.
Lin Xuan didn’t bother explaining; he knew it wouldn’t help anyway. Without evidence, the Lin family wouldn’t believe him, nor did he need to clear his name in their eyes.
As for whoever fed Lin Li the root-cutting water, good job. Lin Xuan didn’t mind shouldering the blame for them once.
“You all take your time consoling Lin Li. I’m just an outsider, so I won’t intrude.”
“By the way,” Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over the Lin family mockingly.
“Enjoy your good days while they last because I’m about to start tightening the net.”
Previously, he hadn’t done much against them, just occasionally causing trouble here and there, mainly due to his limited capabilities.
But after a year of development, his company had grown enough to rival Starlight Group.
Starlight Entertainment’s TV series and movies kept flopping, completely overshadowed by Sky Canopy Group’s productions. And thanks to those hit shows, many of Sky Canopy Group’s artists skyrocketed in value.
From now on, Starlight Group would never be able to hinder Sky Canopy Group’s growth in the entertainment industry.
Entertainment was Starlight Group’s main business. Its collapse would deliver a painful blow to Starlight Group.
And the gaming industry would be the straw that breaks Starlight Group’s back.
“Lin Xuan!”
Lin Chang’s face turned ashen as he said, “Our Starlight Group has developed for twenty years. Your one-year-old company—do you really think you can cause such chaos?”
“Mr. Lin, don’t be so sure.” Lin Xuan smirked. “Don’t forget how you handled the airing of my TV series and movies. You blocked their release and hired internet trolls to slander us while heavily promoting your own films.”
“And what was the result?”
“You lost everything, while I raked it in. Plus, my video platform grew, and the cinemas I invested in also flourished.”
Lin Xuan’s voice dripped with arrogance.
Lin Chang’s expression darkened.
No worries though.
Let Lin Xuan gloat for a bit longer.
Once their company releases the game King of Pesticides, all of Lin Xuan’s efforts will be wasted. Their company will become the number one gaming company nationwide with this game.
Thinking about this, Lin Chang relaxed somewhat.
“Hmph, Lin Xuan, don’t talk big. Before, I held back because you were my son, but now, you’ve truly angered me,” Lin Chang sneered coldly.
“Mr. Lin, I know where your confidence comes from. We’ll see who wins,” Lin Xuan raised his brows.
Know where his confidence lies?
Hmph.
Lin Chang scoffed inwardly.
Lin Xuan was exaggerating again. How could Lin Xuan possibly know that he had bribed their game department’s developers and obtained all their game data?
They were already in the final stages of game development.
Just waiting for the game to go live.
When Lin Xuan sees the game his company supposedly developed, only to find it released first by Starlight Group, his face will surely be priceless.
“Lin Xuan, stop worrying about others and focus on yourself. My company doesn’t need your concern,” Lin Chang sneered coldly.
“Alright then, I won’t worry about it.”
Lin Xuan nodded. “You better deal with the mess at home. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
As Lin Xuan prepared to leave with his hand in his pocket,
“Xiao Xuan!” Lin Qingwan called out anxiously.
Sisters Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxiu rushed over too.
“Xiao Xuan.”
All they could do was call out Lin Xuan’s name. They didn’t know what else to say.
“Xiao Xuan, today…”
Lin Qingwan was interrupted by Lin Xuan. “Hold it. Whatever you want to say, keep it to yourself. Don’t bother saying it. I have no interest in hearing your repentance—it’s nauseating.”
“And remember, I’ve cut ties with your Lin family. I’m just an outsider now. Don’t think of me as your brother.”
Hua Bao is waiting for him outside.
He needs to accompany Hua Bao, no, apologize to Hua Bao.
Regarding Feng Yaya, he needs to make Hua Bao calm down and nip any issues in the bud, or his kidneys are going to suffer immensely.
“If you sisters truly feel guilty, then stay out of my sight. Do you realize how annoying you are?”
Lin Xuan’s words left Lin Qingwan speechless, unable to utter a word.
Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxiu looked at Lin Xuan with pained expressions.
They desperately wanted to make amends with Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan refused to give them the chance.
Jiang Shuqin spoke sternly, “Why are you girls wasting time dealing with the culprit Lin Xuan? Don’t you see your poor brother is suffering greatly? Hurry up and comfort Li’er!”
Lin Li didn’t need the Lin mother-daughter duo’s comfort.
What mattered most was Lin Chang!
The decision on property distribution rested with Lin Chang. In the past, he relied on being Lin Chang’s biological son, so he didn’t worry about anything.
But now, if Lin Chang finds out he’s become a eunuch, he might not even consider giving him the family fortune.
“Dad,” Lin Li looked at Lin Chang painfully.
Lin Chang remained silent, walking step by step toward Lin Li.
When he finally stood in front of Lin Li, he stared at him for a long time.
He took a deep breath and asked, “Just now, Lin Xuan mentioned ‘root-cutting water’?”
“He said you drank this stuff, which not only affects there, but also renders you infertile, irreversible.”
