"You, you, you..." Chen Weishan's face twisted with rage. This concerned the fate of the Old Chen Family and whether he could keep his current position. But now this vile woman was telling him, with such conviction, that her son would not help!

Damn it. What an ungrateful bitch.

"You filthy whore! Bitch! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you? Damn it, since you're so ungrateful, I'll... FUCK! IT HURTS! FUCK, LET GO! IT HURTS! LET ME GO!" A savage look flashed across Chen Weishan's face as he reached for Lin Ling's shoulder. However, his arm had barely moved when a hand suddenly caught his wrist. A quick tug and a pinch sent a jolt of pain through him, making him howl like a slaughtered pig.

"A piece of trash like you thinks you can make things difficult for me? Such big words. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?" Lin Ling said with disdain, still pinching his hand. The one who had acted was, of course, herself. Having been raised by Elder Ming Daocuan, she naturally had some real skills.

"You... you! Stop! Let Grandfather Chen go!" Not far away, the bodyguards' expressions changed drastically at the sight. They crowded around, threatening Lin Ling. However, seeing Chen Weishan's pale face and pained screams, they realized Lin Ling was no easy target. She was a tough one. They didn't dare to rush forward, afraid that provoking her would result in her snapping Grandfather Chen's hand.

"Hmph. Useless trash." Although Lin Ling was skilled, she was still a woman with a soft heart. Besides, she didn't want to escalate the situation and have all her neighbors and friends in the community find out. With a cold snort, she released his hand.

The moment Lin Ling let go, Chen Weishan scrambled back seven or eight steps. He grimaced, rubbing his hand while lifting his head, his face livid. He pointed at Lin Ling and cursed, "Damn it, you bitch! You dare lay a hand on me, Chen Weishan? Get her! Beat her hard! If I don't teach this whore a lesson today, my name isn't Chen Weishan! What are you standing around for? Go!"

At Chen Weishan's command, four or five burly, menacing bodyguards in black suits advanced on Lin Ling with murderous intent. Just then, Aunt Deng rushed over, pointing at them and shouting, "What do you think you're doing? Bullying a woman in broad daylight? Are you going to hit her? Help! Someone's being attacked! Come quickly, they're attacking someone over here!"

As she shouted, Aunt Deng couldn't help but tremble with fear. Each of those men looked fierce and murderous; they were clearly bad news. Ordinarily, she would have run and hidden, never considering getting involved. But she had no choice. This group was after Lin Ling, whose son was their family's benefactor. He had saved her own son, so she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

However, she didn't know about the earlier incident at the community gate, which many residents had seen. They were scared and certainly weren't going to meddle in other people's business now. Seeing this, the menacing bodyguards exchanged a glance and sneered. One of them lifted his foot to kick Aunt Deng in the stomach. "Get out of the way, old hag!"

Seeing the bodyguard attack without hesitation, many of the distant onlookers subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes filled with fear. Even Aunt Deng herself panicked, her face showing her terror. Truth be told, she was just an ordinary person. It had already taken all her courage just to stand up to them. But now…

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Lin Ling couldn't possibly remain indifferent. Her expression turned cold. With a sharp snort, she lifted her leg and kicked like lightning at the bodyguard's own kicking leg. Then, with an upward flick, the bodyguard let out a grunt and fell backward to the ground with a THUD.

"Fuck! All of you, get her!" Seeing Lin Ling take down another of their men, the remaining bodyguards were humiliated and enraged. They all pounced toward Lin Ling.

But Lin Ling had spent years by Elder Ming Daocuan's side. Although she hadn't yet entered the Innate realm, she wasn't far from it. The gap between her and these so-called bodyguards was massive. After all, they didn't even qualify as Third Tier Ancient Martial Artists! Seeing them rush at her like a pack of wolves, Lin Ling didn't bother holding back. Her figure blurred, and two or three more screams echoed out.

"Hiss!" Seeing his bodyguards taken down so effortlessly by this seemingly weak woman, Chen Weishan's face went pale with shock, and he drew a sharp breath.

"Little Lin, you... wow! You're so skilled! Have you studied martial arts?" Aunt Deng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Sister Deng, did you forget what I told you before? It's a family tradition passed down for nine generations to a single heir. Twenty or thirty ordinary people can't even get close to me." After knocking down all the bodyguards, Lin Ling casually dusted off her hands and replied to Aunt Deng with a smile.

"I... I... I thought you were joking! Besides, in all those martial arts families I see on TV, don't they always pass the skills to the sons, not the daughters?" Aunt Deng asked curiously after a moment of stunned silence.

"If there's a son, of course it goes to the son. But if there isn't one, you have to treat the daughter like a son. We can't let our ancestral martial arts die out, can we?" Lin Ling said with a smile. Of course, she was just making it up on the spot.

"That makes sense. It's passed down from your ancestors, after all. You can't let it just disappear," Aunt Deng said, nodding earnestly, actually believing her.

When the remaining bodyguards saw how formidable this one woman was, having beaten most of their number, they gritted their teeth and roared in frustration. Even Chen Weishan's face darkened as he cursed, "A bunch of useless trash! You can't even handle one woman! Pathetic! Utterly pathetic!"

Seeing this, many of the onlooking residents felt a great sense of satisfaction. The fear in their hearts subconsciously dissipated, and they gradually began to close in.

"Damn it, all of you, get back! If any of you motherfuckers dares take one more step, I'll break your goddamn legs! I'll just have to pay you off afterward. I've got more than enough money!" Seeing the residents start to surround them, Chen Weishan shot them a murderous glare, pointing at them one by one as he bellowed.

Chen Weishan's threat worked. The onlookers stopped in their tracks, frightened once more. They knew he was genuinely rich—his car was a Bentley. In this day and age, money makes the world go 'round. How could they not be afraid?

However, just then, the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached from a distance. Soon, two or three police cars entered the residential community and stopped in front of them. As the cars stopped, officers began to pour out.

The man in the lead was a tall, thin police officer who looked rather sly and cunning. He clearly hadn't expected to step out of his car into such a scene: a total mess, with several men in black suits groaning on the ground. His expression quickly darkened as his gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on Chen Weishan. "You've got some nerve!" he shouted angrily. "Starting a brawl in broad daylight?"

Besides Lin Ling and Aunt Deng, it's just them. And those men in black suits are obviously not good people. Who else could it be but them?

"What's your rank?" Chen Weishan, however, simply glanced at him with an arrogant air.

"What did you say?" The tall, thin officer's face sank, his eyes burning with anger. He couldn't believe this man dared to question him like that. But before he could get the words out, Chen Weishan cut him off with a cold laugh. "I asked what your rank is. Are you deaf? Let me tell you, I'm from Capital City, and I currently hold a position in the XXX department. You had better answer my question right now. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"

"What? You... you're from Capital City, and you work in the XXX department?" The tall, thin officer's demeanor changed in an instant. He began to stutter, his tone immediately becoming submissive and his body trembling slightly. He clearly hadn't expected this man to be from Capital City, let alone from the XXX department. In other words, this was his direct superior, a direct boss.

That's right. The department Chen Weishan belonged to was the Public Security Bureau of Capital City. The entire nation's police system was subordinate to them. What's more, he was a minor leader in the Public Security Bureau, so naturally, he wouldn't spare a second glance for a "mere" county police officer.

"Here. Take it and open your damn eyes. See who I am," Chen Weishan said coldly, tossing his identification over.

"Director... Director Chen, hello." Upon seeing that Chen Weishan was truly a leader from the Public Security Bureau of Capital City, the tall, thin officer nearly wet himself in fear. He stammered, "Sir... reporting, sir. I... I am the Deputy Chief of the Xicheng Police Station in Chengyang County. My name is Wang Dazhi." He knew he was merely a deputy section chief. In front of a high-ranking official like Director Chen, a deputy department head, he was so nervous he barely dared to breathe.

"I'm not interested in your name. But since you're here, arrest these two criminals for me. Immediately. She assaulted my men." Chen Weishan waved a dismissive hand and pointed maliciously at Lin Ling and Aunt Deng—especially the former—his face a mask of fury and contempt.

Just wait until we get to the station. We'll see if this bitch still refuses to do as I say. Heh, so what if she can fight? Is she going to resist arrest and commit another crime? Not likely.

"What? She... hmph! You two have some nerve, daring to assault people in broad daylight! It's lawless, utterly lawless!" Although Wang Dazhi was surprised, he reacted instantly, pointing at Lin Ling and Aunt Deng and shouting furiously.

Seeing their Deputy Chief Wang Dazhi's fury, the other officers needed no further instruction. They understood immediately, pulling out their handcuffs and surrounding Lin Ling and Aunt Deng with menacing expressions, ready to arrest them.
