5: Chapter 5 Qin Lan

This Family of three had never taken the newly returned Qin Chuan seriously, viewing him as no different from a beggar, yet his current appearance filled them with immense fear, as if he were striking at their Soul Power.

"Qin... Qin Lan, she... was taken away by people from the Zhao Family..." Yu Hui answered with a trembling voice.

The next second, Qin Chuan left directly, his voice coming coldly: "Get out of the Qin Family within one hour!"

Once Qin Chuan left, that pressure vanished without a trace.

The Family of three then crawled up from the ground, and Yu Hui said with lingering fear: "Chenghe, I... let's just move out."

Her husband, named Feng Chenghe, had an extremely gloomy expression at this moment: "Are we really going to be afraid of a stinky beggar like him?"

Although he didn't know why he had felt afraid just now, thinking about it now, he felt a wave of annoyance; he had actually feared a stinky beggar, which was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Besides, if he goes to find the Zhao Family, do you think he can return unscathed?" Feng Chenghe snorted coldly, revealing a look of disdain.

"That's right, Mom. This house is great to live in. If we move out, we'll have to go back to that old rental apartment, and I'm not doing that. Is that rental apartment even fit for humans? Besides, this is our home now. Who does that stinky beggar Qin Chuan think he is? Let's see how the Zhao Family deals with him!" Feng Ruiyun was unwilling to go back to the original rental apartment; she had lived here for a while and was already accustomed to this big house. In any case, it was absolutely impossible for her to go back.

Moreover, in her heart, this was already her home, not some Qin Family.

Feng Chenghe revealed a smug smile: "That's right, this is the Feng Family now!"

Meanwhile. The Zhao Family. The Jinling Zhao Family was also a massive Family, not losing in the slightest to the former Qin Family, and perhaps even surpassing it.

"Don't... don't..." A girl covered in injuries slumped in the corner, trembling. Her eyes had become somewhat cloudy, and there wasn't a single intact spot on her body. Her legs had even had their bones broken, making it impossible for her to stand ever again.

Standing in front of this girl was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth. Seeing the girl like this, he seemed exceptionally excited; it was as if the more miserable the girl was, the happier he became.

"Young Master, if you continue to abuse her, I'm afraid it will cost a life..." One of his subordinates looked at the girl and couldn't help but say.

Slap! As a result, Young Master Zhao raised his hand and slapped him: "What, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I wouldn't dare." The subordinate immediately didn't dare to speak again.

"Qin Lan, tell me, why are you pretending to be a Saintess? If you had just obediently submitted to me, wouldn't that have been fine? Then you wouldn't have ended up like this." Young Master Zhao sneered twice.

"Now that the Qin Family is gone, if you submit to me, I, Zhao Donglai, can still protect you. But look at yourself now; isn't this just you bringing it upon yourself?"

That's right, the girl slumped in the corner, covered in injuries, was none other than Qin Chuan's younger sister... Qin Lan.

In Jinling, who didn't know that the Zhao Family had produced a wicked Young Master named Zhao Donglai? Almost no woman he took a fancy to could escape his grasp. After the Qin Family fell, he set his sights on Qin Lan, but since he hadn't been able to succeed, he, lacking patience, simply resorted to violent means.

However, girls captured by him in this way would always suffer both mental and physical torture first. Qin Lan had been severely tortured by him until she was like this; although she had not yet lost her chastity, her life force was already hanging by a thread.

Her legs had been broken, destined to never be able to escape the Zhao Family, and she could only be tortured to death here.

"Brother..." Qin Lan murmured, her eyes filled with tears, "Lanlan really, really... misses you..."

"Damn it!" Seeing that Qin Lan didn't even look at him, Zhao Donglai was furious. She had been tortured to this extent by him, yet she still refused to beg for mercy, which made him incredibly annoyed. "Break her hands for me too!"

"This..." Several subordinates were hesitant. Because they could all see that if this continued, this frail girl would likely really lose her life.

"A bunch of trash!" Seeing his subordinates hesitating, Zhao Donglai simply grabbed a wooden club and smashed it fiercely against Qin Lan's arm.

Bang! Crack! Her arm was broken, and the wooden club snapped as well, but Qin Lan didn't let out a single scream. Only her pale, bruised face showed signs of pain, because she no longer had any energy left to scream.

The Zhao Family hall. The Zhao Family Madam was leisurely drinking tea; she was Zhao Donglai's mother, Sun Yinghua.

"Tell Donglai to tidy up; we have an honored guest today."

"Madam, if the Young Master continues like this, I'm afraid that girl named Qin Lan won't be able to hold on." The Zhao Family housekeeper felt a pang of pity.

It wasn't the first time Zhao Donglai had abused a girl, but this time was different. After a whole day of torture, he was genuinely worried that she would lose her life.

In this day and age, as long as no one dies, it's not a big problem, but once someone dies, the nature of the matter changes.

"Heh!" Sun Yinghua looked completely disdainful. "If she dies, she dies. Is a piece of trash from the fallen Qin Family not allowed to be beaten to death?"

The housekeeper thought about it and realized she was right, so he didn't pay it much mind. The main thing was that Qin Lan had no Family or friends now; if she were really beaten to death, no one would care.

Da da da... A burst of footsteps approached. Two figures walked in together. One was the head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Yuanshan. He was wearing a crisp suit, his hair combed meticulously, fully embodying a successful man.

And accompanying him was a man in his thirties, possessing an extraordinary bearing, with an aura radiating from him that made people feel palpitations.

"Oh my, Nephew Jiancheng, you finally decided to come to Jinling." As soon as Sun Yinghua saw this man, she immediately put down her teacup and went up to greet him with a beaming smile.

"Aunt." Zhao Jiancheng nodded slightly.

He was a direct descendant of the Zhao Family line and also Zhao Yuanshan's nephew. Zhao Jiancheng's branch was quite extraordinary; the entire Family practiced martial arts, and they were far from being comparable to an ordinary Family.

Even though Zhao Jiancheng was just a nephew, the Zhao Yuanshan couple treated him with exceptional importance, and were even very respectful.

"Where is Donglai?" Zhao Yuanshan asked.

"Quick, go call Donglai in and tell him his brother is here." Sun Yinghua immediately instructed the housekeeper, specifically omitting the word "cousin" to make it sound more affectionate.

Zhao Yuanshan knew his son was currently torturing a girl, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He invited Zhao Jiancheng to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked: "Jiancheng, what brings you to Jinling?"

Zhao Jiancheng shrugged, not hiding anything from his uncle Zhao Yuanshan: "The Family received news that an incredible Mysterious Expert has appeared in Jinling. We came to Jinling this time mainly to search for this Mysterious Expert."
