Early the next morning, Lin Hao returned to Zhao Mansion.

Seeing Lin Hao return to the house, all the servants secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Hao disappeared suddenly like last time, they might have to search day and night again.

Fortunately, God bless me, and I finally got this guy back.

Feeling the strange looks around him, Lin Hao ignored them and walked straight towards the cafeteria.

After practicing in a rented house for one night, he was now very hungry and uncomfortable.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Lin Hao ordered a few breakfast items and then ate alone.

The members of the Zhao family in the hall didn't seem to pay much attention to his arrival, and they were all talking about the two major events that happened last night.

One is that the head of the Li family was mysteriously assassinated while having sex with a prostitute.

The second is that the Lin family dispatched all the family masters, rushed to the Li family's villa on the outskirts of the city overnight, and launched a surprise attack.

Although there are many warriors guarding the villa, most of them are third-level warriors.

But these were just thugs hired in a hurry after the Li family discovered the Lingyang Stone vein. They were nothing more than a ragtag group of people.

Facing the fierce attack by the Lin family's team, they barely managed to hold on for long before they became a mess and fled in all directions.

In the end, the Lingyang stone veins were occupied by the Lin family forces, and tens of thousands of kilograms of Lingyang stone blanks were seized, as well as many miners who were mining were captured.

In order to take into account the reputation of his family, Lin Hongkang did not go on a killing spree.

Instead, they brought the miners back to Tianwu City to testify, and announced in the city that it was not the Lin family who robbed the mineral veins, but the Li family who was the first to breach the contract, and then took action to seize the management rights.

The next morning, in the hall in the front yard of Zhao Mansion.

"The Lin family really made a profit this time!"

After Zhao Tianlie heard the news, he couldn't help but look envious.

"It won't damage the family's reputation, and it's a matter of course to get the right to operate the mine."

He said in amazement: "Even if the Li family appeals to the city lord's palace, there is nothing they can do to win over the Lin family. This trick is really amazing."

Next to him, the chief butler Zhao Rong nodded and said in a low voice: "I don't know who leaked the news, but Li Qingshou died tragically in the mansion."

"Moreover, the killing method is very similar to that of a certain person..."

Having said this, Zhao Rong paused, then looked at the Zhao family leader meaningfully and said, "I heard that my uncle went to the Lin Mansion today."

"Jing Ke!"

Zhao Tianlie's eyes were slightly dazed, and he looked at Butler Zhao in surprise, and suddenly realized something.

"Tsk tsk, I knew this kid was not simple. Is he back now?"

"My uncle has returned home this morning, so he should have a meal in the cafeteria at this time."

Hearing Butler Zhao's words, Zhao Tianlie nodded secretly, "You didn't come home all night, and with that kind of killing method, it is very likely that he was the assassin who assassinated Li Qingshou last night."

Immediately, he told Butler Zhao with a serious face: "Lin Hao's identity is very sensitive. If it is exposed, it will not be of any benefit to our Zhao family. Remember to be careful with your words and actions!"

"Including people from the Lin family, no matter what you ask, don't tell them unless Lin Hao admits it himself."

After saying that, Zhao Tianlie's eyes flashed with solemnity.

With the various mysterious abilities that Lin Hao has displayed in recent times, it has become clear to him.

We can only have close friendship with this guy, and we can't offend him.

Otherwise, Lin Hao's assassinated prey will most likely become someone from their Zhao family.

Besides, with a father-in-law relationship, no matter what happens, it won't be any worse.

Zhao Rong nodded solemnly: "Master, please rest assured."

"We have guests arriving."

At this moment, a servant of the Zhao family appeared at the door of the hall with Lin Hongkang.

"Brother Lin, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

Seeing this, Zhao Tianlie was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "And you didn't tell me in advance when you came, so I could let the servants get some food and drinks."

"Do not bother."

Lin Hongkang chuckled deeply and said bluntly: "I need to see Lin Hao if I have something to do. Is he in the house?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlie was slightly surprised.

He knew Lin Hongkang very well and was extremely profit-minded. He had always been unpopular with Lin Hao, a waste who had made no contribution to the family.

Why did he suddenly change his temper today and come to Zhao Mansion in person to look for Lin Hao?

Could it be that the head of the Lin family also discovered Lin Hao's identity because of what happened last night?

Or maybe he already knew it?

Suddenly thinking about it, Zhao Tianlie asked tentatively: "Brother Lin, what do you want from Lin Hao?"

Lin Hongkang's eyes were slightly stern, and he stared at Zhao Tianlie intensely, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.

"You really don't know anything?" Lin Hongkang asked rhetorically.

Zhao Tianlie was slightly startled, then he smiled without changing his expression: "Brother Lin is really good at joking. How could I know if you didn't tell me?"

Hearing these words, Lin Hongkang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

He secretly laughed in his heart, "It's better this way, so as not to dissolve the marriage with the Zhao family and cause unnecessary trouble."

Ever since he learned yesterday that Lin Hao was actually a martial arts genius with both combat and martial arts skills, Lin Hongkang was undoubtedly shocked at the time.

However, the Lin family has been wandering in the ranks of third-rate families until now. It was not easy to give birth to such a talented child, but half a year ago, he was regarded as a waste and married into the Zhao family!

Lin Hongkang now feels both regret and surprise about this matter.

What needs to be done now is to bring Lin Hao back to the family and focus on his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Hongkang smiled and said: "Actually, I have something to discuss with Brother Zhao when I come here today."

"Brother Lin, please tell me."

Zhao Tianlie smiled and could not guess Lin Hongkang's thoughts at all.

Lin Hongkang asked: "Has Lin Hao had any impact on you in the past six months since he joined Zhao's house?"

Zhao Tianlie waved his hands repeatedly, his smile became brighter, and he praised: "Lin Hao has a calm temperament and has never caused any disputes in the house. I am very satisfied with him."

Hearing this, Lin Hongkang was stunned and didn't know how to answer the question.

As far as he knew, the Zhao family had always been very prejudiced against Lin Hao, his father-in-law, because of the cooperation with the black shop at that time.

Even after Zhao Ling'er obtained the designated enrollment quota at Tianyan Academy, she regarded Lin Hao as a stumbling block and couldn't wait to dissolve the relationship between husband and wife.

If Zhao Tianlie was dissatisfied with Lin Hao's evaluation at this moment, he could take this opportunity to ask for Lin Hao to leave the Zhao Mansion.

However, now, the other party's answer completely disrupted the entire routine that Lin Hongkang had planned before.

"Brother Zhao, please don't be too polite."

Lin Hongkang looked serious and said solemnly: "If Lin Hao really has an impact on the Zhao family, I can take him back at any time!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Tianlie's expression changed slightly.

He finally understood that Lin Hongkang's purpose this time was to come for Lin Hao!

Obviously, Lin Hao went to Lin Mansion yesterday and showed his strength, which made Lin Hongkang look at him again.

But Lin Hao is now a member of the Zhao family. How could Zhao Tianlie let go of such a piece of gold?

"Brother Lin, I think you don't just want to take it back, right?"

Zhao Tianlie seemed to be smiling but said bluntly: "My daughter and Lin Hao are in love, and they are husband and wife. It would not be good for us to break up a couple."

Lin Hongkang's face was quite embarrassed at the moment when his thoughts were revealed.

"It seems that you have known about Lin Hao's talent for a long time."

Lin Hongkang laughed dryly, and then sighed deeply: "Although Lin Hao is blind, based on my intuition over the years, if he can grow up in the future, his achievements in martial arts will be limitless."

"However, if such a genius continues to live in the Zhao Mansion as a bride-in-law, I'm afraid it will only fuel his revenge, which will be detrimental to both of us."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlie's expression became stern. He recalled all the humiliations Lin Hao had suffered in the Zhao family before. His status was even lower than that of a servant.

Moreover, not long ago, Zhao Ling'er threatened to dissolve the marriage, which only increased the stimulation for Lin Hao.

If things continue to develop like this, I'm afraid it will be extremely bad as Lin Hongkang said.

The most important thing is that behind Lin Hao, there is a huge force like Ming Pavilion.

After some discussions, both parties unanimously decided to maintain the status quo.

Lin Hao's bet with Zhao Ling'er allowed him to use his own strength to defend his dignity.

The Lin and Zhao families assisted Lin Hao in his cultivation and growth through cultivation.

Little did they know that while they were talking, a strong ant quietly lay beside the door and heard everything clearly.
