Five years ago, shortly after Lin Chen was imprisoned, he was transferred to Kunlong Prison, where he honed his skills for five years.

Now, having served his sentence, he expected a family reunion upon his release, but instead, he was met with rows of memorial tablets.

Each name on those tablets belonged to his kin, either elders who watched him grow or siblings who played with him as a child.

"From this day forth, as long as I am here, the Lin Family will not fall!"

All eyes turned to Lin Chen, and soon someone recognized him.

"He's... the eldest young master of the Lin Family!"

"He went to prison five years ago. Now that he's back, can he save the Lin Family?"

"Save? What a joke! He's just another dead man walking, having been in prison!"

"Exactly, if he had stayed in prison, at least the Lin Family might have had a chance to survive. Now it seems they're truly doomed!"

Lin Chen's arrival left everyone stunned, but they quickly regained their composure, shaking their heads in resignation.

Even someone like Old Master Lin couldn't save the Lin Family, so what could a freshly released prisoner do?

All those talented individuals of the Lin Family were now just names on memorial tablets, leaving behind nothing but black-and-white photos.

It wouldn't be long before Lin Chen's name would join them on those tablets.

Lin Chen's cold gaze fell upon Liu Ruyan.

"Back then, when the Liu Family faced bankruptcy, you, Liu Ruyan, knelt before my parents, begging for the marriage to be arranged."

"Now, with the Liu Family gaining some power, not only do you not repay the favor, but you also kick the Lin Family when it's down!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Liu Ruyan felt a twinge of guilt, but considering the current state of the Lin Family, she steeled her heart.

The Lin Family was doomed, and Lin Chen was as good as dead!

Liu Ruyan looked at the Lin Family, her gaze growing colder, her words devoid of any warmth.

"You say the Liu Family borrowed the Lin Family's influence? Ha... what a joke! The Liu Family is now renowned in Yan City, and what does the Lin Family have?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened as she retorted, "I think it's the Lin Family trying to take advantage of the Liu Family!"

"This marriage, I annul it! I, Liu Ruyan, will never marry a criminal!"

Recalling how she once humbly begged the Lin Family, and now seeing the Lin Family reduced to looking up to the Liu Family, with its impending ruin, a twisted sense of satisfaction surged within her.

"With only an old man and a child left in the Lin Family, life will be hard for you. I'm not heartless; here's a card with five million, enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your lives."

Liu Ruyan pulled out a bank card and tossed it on the ground like a superior bestowing charity.

Once the most prestigious family in Yan City, now reduced to ruin and disgrace.

And now, humiliated by a woman in such a manner.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashing within them.

He didn't care about Liu Ruyan, and the annulment didn't matter.

However, since this woman had gone to such extremes, if she showed no mercy, then grievances would be settled accordingly!

Under Lin Chen's murderous aura, Liu Ruyan felt a chill rise within her, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, shivering uncontrollably.

At that moment, a roaring sound came from afar, drawing everyone's attention.

"Vroom vroom vroom!..."

A sports car sped towards them, coming to a stylish stop in front of Liu Ruyan.

The speed was so fast it nearly hit Liu Ruyan.

The car door swung open, and a tall, stunning beauty stepped out, her long leg gracefully touching the ground.

This woman was exceptionally beautiful, with an aura so powerful that ordinary people dared not look her in the eye.

"If you won't marry him, I, Murong Qingcheng, will!"

"Vroom vroom vroom!..."

Following that, two more luxury cars rushed over, stopping beside Murong Qingcheng's car.

Two more beauties stepped out simultaneously, one exuding heroic spirit, the other cold and enchanting.

Both were no less beautiful than Murong Qingcheng, and they spoke in unison.

"I, Gu Ruohan, am willing to marry him!"

"I, Ye Zining, am willing to marry him!"

The two stunning beauties stood beside Lin Chen, creating a scene that was overwhelming.

Witnessing this, the entire place fell silent, followed by chaos.

"Is that... Murong Qingcheng? Oh my god, it really is Murong Qingcheng!" "The business prodigy of Yan City, the beautiful CEO of Qingcheng Pharmaceuticals, Murong Qingcheng!"

"Oh my god! That's Gu Ruohan, the illustrious Northern Border War God, the top young talent in the military!"

"That's Ye Zining, the acknowledged prodigy of the medical field, the young master of Tianyi Valley! She might become the next sage of medicine!"

"What did they say? They want to marry Lin Chen?"

"Given the current state of the Lin Family, they actually said they want to marry Lin Chen... Am I hallucinating? Here, hit me to see if I'm dreaming!" "Slap!"

"Ouch, that hurt!"

"This is actually real! Oh my god! It's crazy! They've all gone mad!"

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Three top-tier beauties all claimed they wanted to marry Lin Chen; it was simply outrageous.

The three most beautiful women in Yan City, marrying even one of them would be a great blessing, attainable only by an exceptionally talented and outstanding individual.

Even at its peak, the eldest young master of the Lin Family couldn't have had such fortune. Liu Ruyan looked at the three beauties, utterly shocked.

Her mouth hung open as if she could fit an egg inside.

"You all want to marry him?"

Liu Ruyan glared at the three beauties, her gaze turning cold as she said, "Each of you is a goddess, how could you marry a criminal?"

Murong Qingcheng's cold gaze swept over Liu Ruyan, and under her powerful aura, Liu Ruyan's proud head instantly lowered.

"Who do you think you are! It's not your place to comment on what I do!" Murong Qingcheng's eyes turned cold as she continued to speak harshly.

Liu Ruyan was so shaken that she took several steps back, not daring to meet Murong Qingcheng's gaze.

"Indeed! Our decision to marry Lin Chen is none of your business," Gu Ruohan and Ye Zining said, their cold eyes fixed on Liu Ruyan.

Murong Qingcheng chuckled, pulling out a bank card and tossing it in front of Liu Ruyan, "There's ten million in here. Since the engagement is annulled, you and Lin Chen have no further ties, and the Lin Family is severed from you, all feelings cut off!"

Liu Ruyan's face changed dramatically as she looked at the bank card on the ground, her lips moving but unable to utter a word.

Facing Murong Qingcheng, she dared not act out; this was not a woman she could afford to offend.

"Get lost!" Murong Qingcheng shouted coldly again, kicking the bank card towards Liu Ruyan.

"Take the card and get lost!"

Liu Ruyan's body trembled, unable to withstand Murong Qingcheng's aura, she retreated several steps.

"Hmph! You know what happens when you get involved with the Lin Family! You'll regret today's choice for the rest of your lives!"

Liu Ruyan bent down to pick up the bank card, stumbling as she turned to leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are matters at home today, so we won't be able to entertain you. Please forgive us for any lack of hospitality," Old Master Lin said, cupping his hands to the crowd.

Though everyone was curious why the three women were interested in Lin Chen, a freshly released criminal, with Old Master Lin speaking, and the Lin Family servants ushering them out, they had no choice but to leave for now.

News of Lin Chen's return and the events at Xingyao Manor spread rapidly throughout Yan City.

The three most beautiful women in Yan City choosing to marry the recently released Lin Chen left their admirers seething with jealousy!

...

Lin Chen supported Old Master Lin into the house, followed by the three stunning beauties.

Judging by their demeanor, they weren't joking; they genuinely intended to marry him.

Following Old Master Lin to the Spirit Hall, seeing row after row of memorial tablets, Lin Chen felt a deep sense of unease.

Lin Chen kowtowed heavily three times, the sorrow in his eyes vanishing, replaced by a chilling coldness.

Blood debts must be repaid in blood!
