118: Ice City! The Wang family is expelled! The eldest son of the Zhou family is back.

This wave of prestige increase finally allowed Lin Chuan's system shop, accompanied by a pleasant notification chime, to reach max level!

[Ding! Host's system shop has been upgraded to LV10!]

[Unlocked 100 pieces of full-series future tech items! Unlocked 100 pieces of gene potion series items! Unlocked 100 pieces of super artificial intelligence series items!]

Looking at the dazzling array of products on the list, a smile curled at the corner of Lin Chuan's mouth.

It wasn't just three or four new items popping up at once anymore.

Instead, a full three pages of new products had been added in one go.

Now, browsing his system shop was like shopping on Taobao for Lin Chuan, with far too many items.

However, this was the proper way to open up a rebirth!

Lin Chuan looked at them one by one.

Anti-cancer wonder drugs, life-extending gene serums, super soldier serums.

Everything you could imagine!

As long as you had money, you could buy life here!

Without hesitation, Lin Chuan directly exchanged for a batch of Primary Gene Optimization Serums and All-Disease Cure Pills.

That very night, the Lin family villa became lively.

"Little bro, what is this stuff? It's all green and gooey, like snot. Is it even drinkable?"

Second Brother Lin He looked at the glowing green vial in his hand with suspicion.

"Second Brother, this is something I got for you all. High-tech nutritional supplement. Just drink it. It's super good for your health!"

Lin Chuan laughed as he tricked him.

Hearing it was high-tech, Lin He didn't hesitate and threw his head back, downing it in one go.

Not long after.

"Holy shit!!"

Lin He suddenly jumped up from the sofa, feeling his whole body burning up, his joints cracking and popping.

His lower back, which had been sore from years of hard labor, instantly stopped hurting!

And he felt like he had boundless energy!

"This is amazing! Little bro! I feel like I could kill an ox right now!!"

Not only Lin He, after Lin Chuan's parents took the All-Disease Cure Pills, their originally graying hair actually began to turn black, the wrinkles on their faces lessened, their backs no longer ached and their legs no longer hurt. They could climb five flights of stairs in one breath without any effort!

Even Chu Yueli and Officer Su Qingyi, after drinking it, their skin became even more dewy, smooth, and glowing, like peeled hard-boiled eggs!

Although these two weren't yet Lin Chuan's official women, they were pretty close.

They were both ready at any moment.

Eldest Brother, Long Wu, Da Qiang, Qiang Zi, and other people he was on good terms with also received the serums.

After all, Lin Chuan had hundreds of billions in his bag, which he couldn't possibly spend all of, and in the future, he would only earn more.

Money was meant to be spent.

In this life, he wanted to protect every important person around him!

...While some rejoiced, others grieved.

Over at the Wang family, it was a scene of bleak despair stretching for miles.

Losing those six hundred million yuan not only severely weakened the Wang family's vitality but also became the last straw that broke the back of Wang Sheng, the old camel.

Under the assault of intense fury and anxiety, his illness erupted in full force!

In the hospital's special care ward, Wang Sheng lay on the bed, gaunt and emaciated, looking like a skeleton, with only the faintest breath leaving his body, none entering.

"Cough, cough, cough... Pfft..."

Another mouthful of black blood sprayed out.

Wang Sheng grabbed his eldest son's hand beside him, his eyes filled with a desperate longing for life and fear.

"Go find Divine Doctor Lin..."

"Take the most valuable antiques from home, and money!"

"Beg him... beg him to save me!"

"I can't hold on... only he can save me..."

He still remembered what Lin Chuan had said at the auction house entrance.

Although he had thought it was a curse back then, now, it was practically a death sentence from the King of Hell!

And it was right on time, down to the second!

Since Lin Chuan could see it, he must be able to cure it!

After all, he had even cured the Zheng family's old master before.

However.

When Wang Sheng's eldest son, Wang Dezhi, brought two suitcases of gold bars and antiques and knelt in front of Lin Chuan's company door.

He didn't even get to see Lin Chuan's face.

Only Long Wu came out coldly to deliver a message:

"The boss said."

"Your Wang family's hearts are not righteous, you will surely bear a grudge."

"Saving you would just be raising a scourge."

"Get lost."

Wang Dezhi desperately kowtowed a few times, his forehead bleeding, but Long Wu remained like a door god, unmoving.

At the same time.

When the wall starts to crumble, everyone pushes.

Seeing the Wang family was done for, how could Chu Tianbiao and Zheng Yun hold back?

Kick a man when he's down!

This was the most basic rule of business!

The Chu family used their underworld connections to blockade the Wang family's transportation lines; the Zheng family used their connections to seal up several of the Wang family's illegal warehouses.

In an instant, the Wang family's businesses in Harbin completely collapsed!

On the second night after Lin Chuan refused to treat him.

Wang Sheng, this once-powerful God of Wealth of Harbin, breathed his last breath amidst endless regret and pain.

His eyes wide open in death!

Those turbid eyes stared straight at the ceiling, as if questioning Heaven why he had provoked a jinx like Lin Chuan!

He really shouldn't have partnered with the Zhou Family. Damn it, why hadn't he thought of it before? That Lin Chuan was actually more formidable than the entire Zhou Family.

Sigh! Looking down on others, he paid a huge price this time!

On the third day after Wang Sheng's death.

The current head of the Wang family, Wang Dezhi.

Did not hold a funeral. Instead, he led his entire family, clad in mourning hemp.

And knelt once again in front of Lin Chuan's villa gate.

This time, he wasn't here to beg for treatment.

He was here to beg for his life.

"Mr. Lin!! I beg you to be merciful!!"

"Our Wang family admits defeat!!"

"Please leave us a way out!!"

Wang Dezhi cried bitterly.

The Wang family was now cornered, driven to a dead end by the Chu and Zheng families.

Their funding chain was broken, creditors were at their door, their businesses were sealed.

If this continued, their whole family would have to jump into the Songhua River!

Only if Lin Chuan gave the word would the Chu and Zheng families stop.

The villa's main gate opened.

Lin Chuan, wearing a black overcoat and holding a cup of hot tea, stood on the steps.

Looking down imperiously at the Wang family members kneeling on the ground.

His gaze was indifferent, without a ripple of emotion.

"A way out?"

Lin Chuan blew on the steam rising from his teacup.

"If you had won?"

"Would you have thought about leaving me a way out?"

"In my previous life... oh no, in the past, when your Wang family bullied others with your power, driving how many small business owners to ruin and death."

"Did you ever think about leaving others a way out?"

Wang Dezhi trembled, his head pressed to the ground, not daring to lift it.

"Mr. Lin! All the fault lies with my father! He's already dead!"

"Death cancels all debts, Mr. Lin!"

"We are willing to offer all our remaining assets to you! We only beg you to spare us our lives!"

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"You said it."

Swallowing the Wang family's remaining assets in one bite would be equivalent to the Lin family leaping up to become one of the new Three Kings of Harbin.

The Wang family had all kinds of ready-made factories and industry chains. With an injection of capital, everything could be revitalized.

Good!

Excellent!

"From today on, take your people and get out of the Northeast."

"Never let me see you again."

"Otherwise."

Lin Chuan's eyes turned sharp.

"Your end will be the same as Wang Sheng's."

After all, this was Dragon Country, a land of law. He, Lin Chuan, was just a businessman. If he went too far and wiped out an entire family, it would arouse the wariness of the Dragon Country's high-level elders.

That would be counterproductive.

Moreover, in this lifetime, he and the Wang family didn't have any deep-seated hatred. Taking all their industries was already a great outcome.

Wang Dezhi felt as if granted a great pardon and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you, Mr. Lin!!"

"We'll leave immediately! Right away!!"

That very night.

The once-prominent Harbin Wang Family packed up their entire household and fled the city that had become a place of terror for them.

Once this news broke, the entire Northeast was shaken.

Forcing the old patriarch to his death! Scaring away one of the original Three Great Families of Harbin, the Wang Family!

And all without shedding a drop of blood!

Everyone regarded Lin Chuan with awe, as if he were a god.

"This Lin Chuan is truly a divine being!"

"From now on in the Northeast, offend anyone but Mr. Lin!"

"He's really damn impressive!"

...Capital City, Zhou Family.

"Smash!!"

Zhou Xiong fiercely shattered the teacup in his hand.

"Trash!! They're all trash!!"

"That old fool from the Wang family is dead, good riddance! But they dragged us down and made us lose face too!!"

Looking at the newspaper reports about Lin Chuan, the 'King of the Northeast,' Zhou Xiong was so angry his liver ached.

Not only was the money he prepared wasted, but now his only ally had been taken out by Lin Chuan.

The Zhou Family's plans in the Northeast had become a complete joke!

"If this brat isn't eliminated, our Zhou Family will never have peace!!"

A venomous light flashed in Zhou Xiong's eyes.

Since I can't beat you in business.

Then I'll eliminate you physically!!

"Has the eldest son not returned yet?!"

Zhou Xiong roared at the butler.

"Master! The Young Master has returned!!"

As soon as the butler finished speaking.

A chilling cold wind swept into the main hall.

A young man wearing a black trench coat, with a crew cut and eyes as fierce as a wild wolf, strode in.

He was twirling a military dagger in his hand, the blade dancing between his fingers like a living thing.

This was the Zhou Family's eldest son, Zhou Ye, who had been working as a mercenary in the West!

Also the world's top-ranked assassin, ranked seventh on the Dark List!

"Dad."

Zhou Ye's voice was hoarse and low, carrying a thick scent of blood.

"I heard something happened at home?"

"That kid named Lin Chuan has given our family quite a beating?"

Seeing his eldest son, Zhou Xiong felt like he had seen a savior, tears almost welling up.

"Xiao Ye! You're finally back!"

"Your younger brother and sister have been bullied to death! Our Zhou Family's face has been ground into the dirt!"

"You must get revenge for us!!"

"I want you to go to Harbin personally!"

"Capture that Lin Chuan alive and bring him back to me!!"

"The man is a divine doctor. If we can control him, he'll be very useful! If you can capture him alive, you alone can intimidate all the families laughing at us!"

Zhou Ye licked his lips, a flash of bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

"Capture alive?"

"Simple."

"Just a nouveau riche. I have a hundred ways to make him regret ever being born."

Saying this, he picked up a file on the table.

It was intelligence on Lin Chuan collected by Zhou Xiong.

Zhou Ye flipped through it casually. His originally disdainful gaze suddenly paused when he saw a photo.

In the photo was a burly man with sharp eyes.

It was Long Wu!

"This bodyguard, I've crossed paths with him before. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to fight back then."

Zhou Ye narrowed his eyes, his previously lazy aura instantly turning sharp.

It was the excitement of encountering a kindred spirit, a formidable opponent!

"He's a master."

"Probably at the level of a King of Soldiers."

Zhou Ye put down the file, the smile on his lips growing wider. It was the ecstasy of a hunter spotting a top-tier prey.

"Dad."

"I can take this job."

"However, capturing that Lin Chuan is too unchallenging, a side task."

Zhou Ye pointed at Long Wu in the photo, his dagger suddenly stabbing into the table, sinking deep into the wood!

"I want to take down this guy named Long Wu."

"Haven't met an interesting opponent in a long time."

"I hope he can last a few more moves. Don't disappoint me too much."
