Chapter 1503 - 1504: Take Responsibility for My Granddaughter
At this moment, everyone's faces displayed expressions of disbelief.
No one expected that this young man could really bring Elder Yu back to life.
"Grandfather." Seeing Yu Peng awake, Yu Fei excitedly threw herself into the old man's arms.
Elder Yu opened his eyes and looked at Yu Fei, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Although he was in a coma just now, he heard everything that happened outside.
"Child, you've been through so much," Yu Peng said, patting Yu Fei's shoulder with affection.
At this time, the four Hall Masters, each had their thoughts upon seeing Yu Peng awake.
Azure Dragon Hall Master Long Xiaoyun and Vermilion Bird Hall Master Xu Feixue both showed expressions of excitement.
However, Baihu Hall Master Li Ming and Black Tortoise Hall Master Wang Shan's faces turned ugly.
Of course, the one with the ugliest expression was Yu Tao.
At this moment, he was trembling all over, ready to sneak away.
But before he could reach the door, a teasing voice suddenly sounded.
"Young Master Yu Tao, where do you think you're going? Oh right, you said that if I saved Elder Yu, you'd kneel and admit your mistake to me." Lin Chen said calmly.
"You..."
At this time, Yu Tao was nearly brought to tears from anger.
Originally, he wanted to slip away amidst the chaos, but unexpectedly Lin Chen caught him.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yu Tao.
Yu Tao's face was deathly pale, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Now, he no longer had the arrogance he displayed earlier.
He resembled a stray dog.
"Grandfather, you're awake, that's great," Yu Tao smiled awkwardly, directing his gaze to Yu Peng.
But Yu Peng's gaze was as cold as ice.
"Why, are you disappointed that I didn't die? Yu Tao, I took you in because of your grandfather, never expecting to raise a thankless wretch who not only nearly harmed me but also almost brought trouble to my granddaughter." Yu Peng said coldly.
"Grandfather, it's not like that, it's all a misunderstanding. The medicine I gave you this morning was for treatment, see, you're awake now aren't you?" Yu Tao shamelessly argued.
Hearing Yu Tao's words, Yu Peng was so angry his body trembled.
"You vile creature, even now you dare to argue. Your grandfather was a man of emotion and righteousness, how do you end up being such an ungrateful grandson?" Yu Peng said with a few violent coughs.
"Sister, please speak to grandfather for me, I never intended to harm you, it's all a misunderstanding," Yu Tao quickly said, looking towards Yu Fei.
Yu Fei snorted coldly: "A misunderstanding? Why don't you tell me if this was a misunderstanding?"
"Sister Feixue, have your people bring those guys up," Yu Fei said coldly.
Xu Feixue nodded and coldly ordered below: "Bring those three guys up here."
A few burly men escorted three tightly bound people into the bedroom.
All three were injured all over, in a miserable state.
Seeing those three people, Yu Tao's body staggered, nearly collapsing on the floor.
He knew that this time he was truly finished, completely done for.
Those three were the assassins he had sent to kill Yu Fei.
Lin Chen glanced at the icy-faced Xu Feixue and secretly felt surprised.
He never dreamed that this girl, almost the same age as him, would be the Hall Master of the Hua League Vermilion Bird Hall.
Thinking about what he had just done, Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything excessive, otherwise, Xu Feixue's group might not have let him off.
The three assassins confessed the details of Yu Tao ordering them to kill Yu Fei.
Hearing the assassins' statements, all the Yu family members and Hua League big shots were in an uproar.
"This bastard, he's simply despicable."
"Exactly, trying to harm the old master and not even sparing the young lady, absolutely malicious."
Everyone showed expressions of anger.
At this moment, Yu Tao's face was like pig liver, his entire self collapsed on the ground.
He knew he was truly finished this time.
Yu Tao suddenly recalled Lin Chen's words, advising him to leave M country.
If only he had listened to Lin Chen earlier, now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Yu Peng coughed a few times, his gaze icy as he stared at Yu Tao.
"Yu Tao, do you have anything else to say?" Yu Peng said coldly.
"Grandfather, please, for the sake of my grandfather, spare me. I know I'm wrong, I'll never do it again," Yu Tao pleaded pathetically, snot and tears streaming.
Yu Peng sighed: "If you had only tried to harm me, perhaps I might have spared your life. But you even targeted Xiao Fei, trying to end our Yu family's lineage. How can I allow that?"
With that, Yu Peng turned his cold gaze to Long Xiaoyun and said: "Xiaoyun, carry out the gang regulations on Yu Tao, show him some mercy."
"Yes!" Long Xiaoyun nodded and stepped forward from the crowd.
"Men, take Yu Tao away," Long Xiaoyun said coldly.
"Grandfather, no, I know I'm wrong," Yu Tao cried out in terror upon hearing the gang regulations.
According to gang rules, traitors have their tendons cut and are thrown into the sea.
But now, no matter how loud he screamed, no one would save him.
Two strong men dragged Yu Tao directly away.
As he passed by Lin Chen, his eyes showed venom.
If it weren't for this person, he would have already been the leader of the Hua League.
If it weren't for Lin Chen, he should have been admired by everyone, enjoying endless wealth and glory.
This young man's appearance had destroyed everything he had.
Lin Chen didn't pay attention to Yu Tao; a scoundrel like him who deserved to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
After dealing with Yu Tao, Yu Peng's expression finally softened.
His gaze fell on Lin Chen: "Young brother, thank you for saving me and my granddaughter."
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "It was something I should do; after all, Xiao Fei is my friend."
"Friend, what kind of friend? Female friend?" Yu Peng laughed.
"Grandfather!" Upon hearing Yu Peng's words, Yu Fei blushed and protested.
Yu Peng chuckled: "Young man, no matter what, you're a benefactor to my Yu family and even the entire Hua League. I'll remember this favor, and if you need anything in the future, just tell Xiao Fei."
Lin Chen nodded: "Thank you, Elder Yu, I'm already very grateful that Xiao Fei provided me a place to stay."
"Oh, already living together, good, very good," Yu Peng stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"Living together!" Upon hearing Elder Yu's words, both Lin Chen and Yu Fei blushed.
"Grandfather, what are you talking about?" The high-ranking Hua League members surrounding the bedroom made Yu Fei extremely embarrassed.
Yu Peng laughed: "I'm not just talking; they just said you two live together. Young man, since you're living together, you must take responsibility for our Xiao Fei."
"What? Responsibility?" Lin Chen was stunned.
Lin Chen suddenly realized this old man's skin was thicker than his own, seemingly intent on holding him accountable!
