"I ask you, who is behind you, and why did you put a curse on Shangguan Xiong and Elder Meng?"
"Also, do you know the director of the Fifth Hospital?"
Lin Chen's eyes were blazing as he directly asked the biggest doubts in his heart.
"You... how do you know these things?"
When Hei San'er heard these words, he was struck by lightning.
Poisoning Shangguan Xiong and Elder Meng was the biggest secret of their entire organization, and even he had only recently found out.
But how could this young man know so clearly?
"Answer my question!"
Lin Chen had no time to explain so much to Hei San'er, and the silver needle in his hand moved closer.
It was only a fraction of an inch away from piercing Hei San'er's major artery.
"Someone wants to control the upper class of Hangcheng, so.... uh..."
Just as Hei San'er uttered a single word, a trickle of blood flowed from his nostrils and mouth.
Looking again, Hei San'er had already lost all signs of life.
"Is this a soul restriction?"
Seeing this, Lin Chen was suddenly shocked.
Back in prison, he had heard his master talk about this evil method.
Many cultivators, in order to keep certain secrets, would place soul restrictions on those who knew them. If they spoke of the secret, they would immediately die of bleeding from all seven orifices!
"Hehehe, it's a shame your skills are not refined. This soul restriction should have taken effect when he had the thought, but now it only erupts after he has spoken."
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but mock.
However, he knew very well that a cultivator would not be able to use such a restriction without a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation!
"It seems that the person who placed the restriction on Hei San'er is the mastermind behind all of this."
"Furthermore, it's possible this person was involved in framing my master back then."
Looking at Hei San'er's corpse, Lin Chen's thoughts began to churn.
When he was in prison, his master had told him that the spiritual energy in the world was scarce, and there were not many cultivators.
He never expected to encounter one now!
"It's a pity, the lead is broken. I can only start with the hospital and the Shangguan family for now."
As he spoke, Lin Chen sighed slightly, feeling helpless.
There was nothing he could do. He really hadn't expected someone to use such a restriction, and he hadn't made any preparations, which allowed the other party to succeed completely.
Without hesitation, Lin Chen got out of the car, placed Hei San'er and the bodies of his subordinates together, flicked his fingers, and a spark ignited. The bodies of Hei San'er and the others instantly turned into ashes.
These people had committed many evils in their lives and deserved to die, so Lin Chen showed no mercy.
After dealing with the scene, Lin Chen returned to the Shanshui Jiayuan.
However, as soon as he reached the door, Lin Chen heard his mother's hearty laughter from inside.
At the same time, he heard Qiu Hanying's voice, chatting and laughing.
Without any hesitation, Lin Chen pushed the door open and saw Qiu Hanying sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with his mother.
"It's you? What are you doing here?"
Seeing Qiu Hanying, Lin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
There was nothing he could do. Qiu Hanying's identity was too sensitive now. Hei San'er and his group had paid such a great price to kidnap her, which must be because she had some secret.
At this time, Qiu Hanying was interacting with his mother, which was definitely not a good thing for Lin Chen.
After all, he only had his mother as a relative in this world, and he really didn't want to put her in danger!
"Lin Chen, what are you talking about? Your friend knew I was bored, and your Aunt Wang had gone home from work. Xiao Ying lives nearby and kindly came to keep me company. You're talking to her like that."
Before Qiu Hanying could speak, Wang Fang began to reprimand Lin Chen.
"Mom, I..."
Hearing his mother's words, Lin Chen couldn't refute anything, no matter how much he wanted to say.
For Lin Chen now, he was a cultivator who had defied fate, daring to fight against heaven and earth, but he dared not go against his mother who had raised him with hardship!
"Alright, alright, Xiao Ying hasn't eaten yet. Hurry up and wash your hands and cook a couple of dishes in the kitchen."
Wang Fang was not polite and directly ordered Lin Chen.
As for Wang Fang, she had seen the faces of women like Qin Wanru and knew her son quite well. She was genuinely afraid that he would go back to his old ways!
And now this Qiu Hanying?
She could afford to live in a villa nearby, her family background must be good, she was beautiful and had a good figure, and she was filial.
Such a girl was the best choice for a daughter-in-law!
"Uh... I understand."
Hearing his mother's words, Lin Chen could only nod in agreement, despite his helplessness.
Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.
"Wow, Auntie, Lin Chen can cook? And it smells so good?"
Qiu Hanying was a foodie, and coupled with the assassination attempt this afternoon and Aunt Zhang's injury, she had no appetite.
Now, smelling the aroma of the food, her mouth almost watered.
"Of course. He can do many things, he's just lazy. But it doesn't matter. If you come to our house often in the future, just tell Auntie what you want to eat, and Auntie will tell him to make it. He definitely wouldn't dare to say no."
Wang Fang was now completely biased, and she assured Qiu Hanying.
"Okay, thank you Auntie. Auntie, you're so kind and warm."
Qiu Hanying also spoke in a way that was as sweet as honey, showering Wang Fang with compliments, making her happy.
Seeing this scene, the coldness in Lin Chen's heart finally melted a little.
After all, he knew very well that his mother had probably never laughed like this since he went to prison.
"Fine, if you can make my mother happy, what if I guarantee your safety?"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen made up his mind.
Protecting his mother alone with a formation was still protecting her. Now that there was Qiu Hanying, at least she could be an additional safeguard.
Before long, Lin Chen, his mother, and Qiu Hanying gathered at the dining table and had a hearty meal.
After dinner, Wang Fang casually found an excuse to go upstairs to sleep, leaving the living room to Lin Chen and Qiu Hanying to spend time alone.
After Wang Fang left, Qiu Hanying subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen, who had a serious expression on his face, and felt a little nervous.
"In the future, you should come over more often. It's okay even if you stay here."
Lin Chen sighed slightly and spoke to Qiu Hanying proactively.
"Ah? Stay at your place? Isn't that too fast?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Hanying was stunned.
Indeed, she had only just started to have a good impression of Lin Chen, and now he was asking her to move in. This was indeed too fast, right?
