"even……"

Lin Feng shivered and did not dare to think any more, for fear that he would be startled and break into a cold sweat.

at this time.

Lin Feng's earlobes trembled slightly.

He heard faint footsteps coming towards him.

"Little Lord……"

Lin Feng thought he heard wrongly, turned around suddenly, and followed the sound.

But he saw a gray-haired old man kneeling respectfully dozens of steps away from him, his body trembling, not sure whether it was fear or excitement.

"What did you call me just now?"

Lin Feng looked curious.

"Little Lord."

The old man lowered his head and spoke slowly and in a clear accent, obviously to let Lin Feng hear what he said clearly. Then he explained in detail, "You are the Young Master of the Lin family."

"I have been waiting for you for ten years."

"You are finally back!"

"The sky has eyes, and the emperor will pay off the hard work..."

When he said the last few words, the old man actually burst into tears.

Lin Feng was completely stunned.

Although what the old man said was not much, it contained a lot of information.

One of the things is that the Lin family has not been completely eradicated. Apart from him, the Lin family still has influence, dormant in the dark, looking forward to a comeback.

This coincides with the conclusion he had previously speculated.

"Who asked you to wait for me?"

Lin Feng decided to ask clearly.

"master."

"My Father?"

"Exactly."

The old man responded with choked sobs, "On the snowy New Year's Eve ten years ago, the night before the Lin family suffered an accident, the master suddenly asked me to go to his study to call him."

"He ordered me to take the Lin family's dragon guards with me, leave the city overnight, hide incognito, and lie dormant in the dark, waiting for you to return and assist you in restoring the family's past glory."

"He seemed to have predicted at that time that the Lin family would suffer a disaster on New Year's Eve the next day."

Lin Feng suddenly realized.

The Shenlong Guard is the most elite force of the Lin family, and it is also the Lin family's biggest trump card.

The reason why the Lin family was able to dominate the Xinghai back then was indispensable to the Shenlong Guard.

It turned out that the real Dragon Guard had all withdrawn from the Lin family one day in advance, which was why the Lin family was unable to defeat the alliance of major families and was eventually destroyed.

"Why are the major families targeting the Lin family?"

Lin Feng asked another question.

"Old slave...Old slave doesn't know..."

The old man responded anxiously, "But the master said at that time that when the young master returns to Xinghai, he will definitely know the reasons why the major families are targeting the Lin family."

Lin Feng's face was full of bitterness.

Since returning to Xinghai, he has been investigating the reasons why the major families dealt with the Lin family.

However, I haven't found any clues so far.

When he was finally about to get the answer from Xu Jingyang, Xu Jingyang died suddenly.

This made him very helpless.

"Does the death of Liu Mengdie's parents five years ago have something to do with you?"

Although Lin Feng already knew the answer to this question, he still couldn't help but ask.

"related."

The old man nodded, "We are executing the plan made by the master back then."

Lin Feng flashed, teleported in front of the old man, pulled him up from the ground, and asked sternly, "Why are you doing this?"

It was only then that Lin Feng was able to see the old man's true face.

The old man's face is covered with wrinkles, his skin is as dry as sun-dried orange peel, and his complexion is dull.

His skinny hands were covered with age spots.

"We have to do it."

It was as if a surge of energy suddenly surged out of the old man's body at this moment, burning fiercely, igniting his weak body and making his speaking tone become firm and powerful.

"What reason is this?"

Lin Feng sneered and snorted dissatisfiedly, "I want a real reason."

The old man seemed to have expected that Lin Feng would have such a reaction, and responded unhurriedly: "The real reason is..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng suddenly saw a blade jumping out from the old man's chest.

then.

Lin Feng saw the old man holding a knife in his right hand and stabbing it from the back, piercing the heart and penetrating the entire chest.

Lin Feng took a breath of cold air.
