Chapter 215 Lin Zhou: So I delivered food for the past 7 years just to experience life?
"Experience life at the bottom of society?"
Upon hearing these words, Old Chen's weathered face instantly turned deathly pale.
He trembled violently, his eyes surging with intense guilt and self-reproach.
Young Master should have been the pride of heaven standing at the very top of China's pyramid, enjoying the ultimate wealth and glory in the world!
But in these seven years, he has actually been reduced to delivering food on the streets, exposed to the elements?
"It is this old servant's incompetence! It is this old servant's failure to protect his master!"
Old Chen suddenly raised his calloused hands, aimed them at his old face, and delivered two extremely vicious slaps.
A crisp slap rang out in the infirmary, and a stinging trickle of blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He even wanted to hit him again, as if only in this way could he atone for his sins.
Lin Zhou reacted quickly and grabbed Old Chen's wrist.
Those peach blossom eyes, which had just been brimming with ferocity, now exuded a profound tranquility born from a life well-traveled.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing?"
Lin Zhou pressed down on Old Chen's hand with a little force, his tone steady and powerful.
"These seven years were neither a calamity nor a waste for me."
"If I hadn't lost my memory and ended up on the streets, how could I, the high and mighty eldest son of the Lin family, have ever truly seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships in this world?"
"How could anyone have known that outside this cruel game of capital, there are so many people struggling to make a living for a few dollars in delivery fees?"
Lin Zhou released his grip, his gaze passing over Old Chen and looking towards the inner room of the infirmary.
His eyes instantly softened, like a spring of water that could embrace everything.
"Moreover, if I hadn't gone through these seven years of reflection, I wouldn't have met Qingge, and I wouldn't have such a lovely daughter as Nuonuo."
"Uncle Chen, I'm no longer the spoiled young master who only knew how to squander money in the ivory tower."
"These seven years of hard work and struggle have finally given me the backbone to support the entire Lin Group."
Just as the master and servant were talking.
The door to the inner room of the infirmary was opened a crack from the inside with extreme care.
A tiny head peeked out.
Nuonuo's big, red eyes were like a little rabbit's, and glistening tears clung to her long eyelashes.
She looked timidly at the group of intimidating black-clad bodyguards outside, and then at Uncle Chen, who was dressed like an old butler from a foreign movie.
Finally, her gaze fell on Lin Zhou.
The little girl, with her short legs, tentatively broke free from Teacher Li's embrace and ran towards Lin Zhou.
"dad……"
Nuonuo stretched out her soft little hand and tightly grasped the hem of Lin Zhou's slightly faded casual sweatshirt.
She tilted her slightly swollen face up, her voice thick with nasal congestion, and asked with utter innocence.
"Dad, that old man just called you 'Young Master'."
"I only see old butlers calling me that in cartoons on TV. Dad, are you some kind of prince from a fairy tale?"
A child's innocent remark instantly dispelled the suffocating, heavy atmosphere of murder in the infirmary.
The icy look in Lin Zhou's eyes completely melted away.
He bent down, carefully avoiding the wound on his daughter's knee, and gently took the soft little dumpling into his arms.
He gently rubbed his chin against her soft forehead, a smile of utter doting affection curving his lips.
"Yes, Dad has been forgetting to tell you."
"Dad really is a prince."
Lin Zhou gently pinched her little nose, his voice so tender it could melt your heart.
"So our Nuonuo is the most noble and dazzling little princess in the whole world."
"From today onwards, whether it's that chubby kid who snatched your toys or any other bad person who bullies you, Dad will chase them all away."
Hearing Lin Zhou's words, Nuonuo stopped crying and smiled, wrapping her little arms tightly around Lin Zhou's neck.
Old Chen, who was standing to the side, immediately understood.
He straightened the hem of his butler's uniform and took half a step back.
Then, with utmost solemnity, she clasped her hands together in front of her and bowed deeply to Nuonuo in Lin Zhou's arms.
"This old servant, Chen De, greets Your Highness, the Little Princess!"
This is not finished.
At the same time, dozens of fully armed, menacing top-tier mercenary bodyguards in the corridor outside the door all knelt down on one knee.
The synchronized thud of leather shoes hitting the ground made the entire floorboards tremble.
"Your subordinate greets Your Highness!"
His voice was booming, and his aura was overwhelming.
Nuonuo was startled by the spectacular scene, but then found it very novel and started giggling.
The kindergarten principal, slumped in the corner, and the head teacher, who had wet his pants, were now ashen-faced.
Even breathing feels like a crime.
What kind of terrifying being have they provoked?!
at the same time.
On the Beijing Ring Expressway, a red Porsche Panamera was speeding around like a burning flame.
Su Qingge gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning pale from the excessive force.
Half an hour ago, she was in the top-floor conference room of Starry Sky Media, listening to Sister Hong report on the national tour plan for next month.
My phone suddenly rang; it was a voice message from Teacher Li.
When Su Qingge heard her daughter being called a "bastard" by the district head's wife and Lin Zhou confronting the other party, she felt her heart almost stop beating.
Without saying a word, she threw down the proposal in her hand, grabbed her car keys, and rushed out of the company building.
"Lin Zhou, please don't act impulsively..."
Su Qingge bit her red lips, her eyes reddening with anxiety.
She knew the district chief's wife; she was notoriously arrogant, domineering, and abusive.
Although Lin Zhou is a skilled fighter, offending powerful figures in this area can be very costly!
She floored the accelerator and ran two red lights.
at last.
With a screech of brakes, the red Porsche came to a steady stop at the street corner near Alice Noble Kindergarten after a wildly drifting maneuver.
Su Qingge didn't even take the car keys out of the ignition; she pushed open the car door and ran out.
However, when she saw what was in front of her, she froze on the spot.
The high heels seemed to be nailed to the asphalt road.
There were no police officers as she had imagined.
There was no arrogant district head's wife either.
What she saw was a completely sealed-off, absolutely forbidden street.
Five bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantoms, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, stood like five black steel fortresses blocking the entrance to the kindergarten.
The streets were lined with burly bodyguards dressed in matching black suits and wearing invisible headsets.
Each of them exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This is definitely not the kind of pomp and circumstance a district head should put on!
This is just like the ultimate security network used by some underground tycoon emperor when he travels in a movie!
Su Qingge gasped.
Suppressing her inner shock, she walked step by step through the passage cleared by the group of black-clad bodyguards in her high heels toward the infirmary.
An eerie, deathly silence filled the air.
When she reached the door of the infirmary, the scene inside struck her mind like a heavy hammer blow.
The legendary District Chief Li, who was said to have connections and influence, was slumped on the ground like a dead dog.
The arrogant and domineering district chief's wife lay unconscious in the corner, her face covered in blood.
And in the very center of the room.
An elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a bespoke English butler's uniform, stood respectfully with his hands at his sides.
The man who was surrounded by the elderly woman in the center of the room, like a star being the moon, was her husband.
Lin Zhou.
He held Nuonuo steadily in one arm.
On the index finger of his right hand, a black and gold dragon-patterned ring with a dark luster had appeared at some point.
Sunlight streamed in through the broken windowpane, illuminating Lin Zhou's angular profile.
The lazy, casual, and even somewhat vulgar air that had always emanated from him had completely vanished.
Instead, there was an absolute coldness that Su Qingge had never seen before.
That was the overwhelming pressure of a supreme being who trampled all things underfoot and held the power of life and death!
It was as if he could unleash a bloodbath that would destroy the entire city with the slightest flick of his finger.
Like a true underground emperor!
A cold autumn wind blew by, stirring up a few fallen leaves on the ground.
Su Qingge stood frozen in the wind, her peach blossom eyes filled with disbelief.
She felt that her brain had lost the ability to think.
Hearing the sound of high heels coming from the doorway, Lin Zhou turned his head slightly.
When he saw Su Qingge's anxious and pale face, the icy glint in his eyes, which could freeze three feet deep, completely melted away in a fraction of a second.
"Honey, you're here."
Lin Zhou smiled a familiar, gentle smile and spoke softly.
The way he called her "wife" was as affectionate and natural as ever.
But to Su Qingge, it sounded like an insurmountable abyss.
She looked at her husband, who made her midnight snacks every night, offered advice for Starry Sky Media, and whom she had just regarded as a "gold digger" who needed protection.
My head was buzzing.
All logic and common sense collapsed at this moment.
Su Qingge's red lips parted slightly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Lin Zhou..."
"Who exactly are you?"
