Typhoon swept the South Seas that night. The mansion of the Lin Family stood in the fierce wind and rain as if it had predicted the coming of an extraordinary day.

Li Mu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the lightning outside and feeling lost.

Lin Wan hugged his waist and leaned her head at his shoulder, whispering, "Are you feeling nervous? It doesn't matter. I will be with you no matter what happens."

Her words brought Li Mu back from his absent mind. Pointing at the outside, he said, "People say that sun raises after storms. Honey, do you think this thunderstorm is telling us that we will see the rainbow eventually."

"No, I know this is disappointing but tomorrow is rainy!" Lin Wan laughed.

"You are so good at chatting."

"I was being like you."

In the morning of the next day, Third Uncle sent people to pick them up. There were dozens of them sitting or standing in the lobby downstairs. They all bowed to Lin Wan as soon as they saw her coming down.

Lin Wan nodded her head and stepped towards the door. Li Mu and the others followed.

Suddenly, two men flashed out from the crowd and stopped Li Mu, "Sorry, Mr. Li. The meeting today is for family members only." One of the men said with courtesy.

Lin Wan was surprised. She stopped and said, "What are you doing? He is my husband. Why can't he attend the meeting?"

"My lady, we have to follow the orders from Third Uncle."

"Follow the order? What about my orders? Get lost and leave him alone!" Lin Wan said angrily.

The soldiers showed reluctance and the leader began to sweat. "My lady, of course, we will follow your orders. But we can't go against Third Grandfather as well. Please don't make things hard for us." He said stubbornly.

"B*llsh*t!" Lin Wan screamed angrily, "I am your master, or am I not? You said it was Third Uncle's order. Fine. Let me call him now."

Lin Wan took her cell phone out. As soon as she was trying to call Third Uncle, someone seized her wrist.

It was Li Mu. He shook his head calmly and stopped his wife as if he had expected everything.

He patted the back of his wife's hand twice and said calmly, "I won't go since this is arranged by Third Uncle. Go, Lin Wan. And by the way, please leave Lin Kun here, or I will be lonely. "

"That's good, Brother. I don't like to go. I'll stay with you." Lin Kun said at once.

"Honey!" Lin Wan was about to say something, but Mrs. Hong stepped out and took her arm. Giving her a meaningful look, she whispered, "Do as Li Mu wishes. Let them stay here and let's go to the meeting."

Lin Wan looked at her husband worried. Li Mu took her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Be careful!"

"You too!"

They separated soon. Li Mu made a gesture to Zixing sisters. They stepped out and kept Lin Wan in between to protect her.

The leader was hesitant, "They..."

"What? Even my personal guards are not allowed?" Lin Wan asked in a chill voice.

"Sure, my lady. They are absolutely allowed. I was following orders. I'm so sorry if there is any offense." The man replied immediately.

Lin Wan didn't say anything but sneered. She walked towards the door with Mrs. Hong and Zixing sisters followed.

Five soldiers were kept in the mansion while the others left with Lin Wan.

It was clear that Li Mu was detained during the clan meeting.

What happened just now proved Li Mu's words. Third Uncle was going to use Lin Wan as leverage to make peace with Fourth Brother in the clan meeting.

It was a good plan that deceived Lin Wan and some others. The plan would have been even perfect if Li Mu were still the weak boy he was.

Third Uncle made a mistake. He underestimated Li Mu too much. But it was not his fault, not entirely. He only knew that Li Mu was changed with a Corpse of Death Bone but never saw Li Mu fight. He heard the stories about Li Mu but didn't believe them all.

It was said that one shouldn't believe what he heard but what he saw. Nowadays, even the sight was not trustful, let alone the hearsay.

Third Uncle always thought that there were too many bubbles in the stories about Li Mu. Lin Kun and Zixing sisters were too exaggerated when describing Li Mu's skills.

An old fox like him easily took this as a bluff. He thought they were doing this deliberately to prettify Li Mu, so he would be respected by them.

He was not wrong entirely. They were telling the stories deliberately, and the purpose was to build authority for Li Mu. This part was the same as he thought, but he missed the fatal point.

All the stories were true. They were telling the truth to make Li Mu known to others, without any overstatement.

In fact, even Lin Kun didn't know everything about Li Mu's experience. Take Qingyang Temple or the fight at the combat field for an example, if Third Uncle knew any of those stories, he would never look down on Li Mu.

With the strength, Li Mu could cut even dozens of men like a piece of cake. These five men to him were like chicks at the chopping board. They might survive if he had a good mood.

After Lin Wan left, Li Mu made a question openly, "Lin Kun, when will Third Uncle take the actions?"

Those men were embarrassed. They didn't expect the son-in-law in this family to be so blunt.

And besides, they thought Li Mu was too relaxed. How dare he made such a question in front of them? They felt humiliated.

Lin Kun sighed in his heart. He felt sorry for those guys. He had known Li Mu for long and so he understood him in many things.

He knew that those five men were doomed because Li Mu would only talk about secrets in front of "dead people".

He didn't want to beg mercy for them. He lost his parents at a young age and had seen too much cheating and death after he was adopted by the Lin Family.

The Lin Family's mansion looked peaceful, but darkness was everywhere under the surface. He had seen enough.

He knew that Li Mu was going to kill for prestige. A good heart never worked in large clans. Only power could convince more people the soonest.

This was the common fault for all people to bully the weak and be afraid of the strong. "You have to make them fear before you show them your mercy. Otherwise, they will take you as a loser and hurt you." Lin Kun thought.

"Third Uncle will start soon. He will decide whether to take the actions to Fourth Uncle according to the progress of the meeting." Lin Kun said directly

"So, Third Uncle will negotiate with Fourth Uncle in the meeting. If they can come to an agreement, he may not take any action at all."

"Yes, I think he has planned so."

"What about Lin Wan's troops? Will they follow your orders? I need to control the meeting site in the shortest time."

"Yes, they will follow me. They have made their oath to Miss Lin."

"These five brothers are not included, are they?" Li Mu joked.

The five men were not stupid. They realized that things were going out of their control. So, they gathered together and one of them took out the phone.

Li Mu took the action. The others felt a flash of movement and then heard bone cracking.

The five soldiers collapsed down to the floor, covering their necks with both hands. They stared into the air with mouths open and struggled desperately. Li Mu crushed their throat bones.

There were several servants in the house too. They screamed and stared at Li Mu with fear.

"Shut up!" Lin Kun shouted, "Another cry and you will be dead."

The servants all knelt at the ground, shaking in silence.

"Take the corpses to the basement, and do what you should do. Don't talk. Don't leave the house. Clear?" Lin Kun ordered.

"Yes."

The servants carried the corpses into the basement. Li Mu didn't care but said, "Let's go and have a look at the meeting."

Lin Kun agreed. They walked out of the house and got into a jeep. Lin Kun was driving to the meeting hall.

There was a meeting building in the Lin Family's mansion which had three floors with a dozen meeting rooms of different sizes. They were all well equipped with various functions. Most of the family meetings were held here.

They stopped the jeep near the meeting building. Lin Kun made several calls and then said to Li Mu, "Brother, the meeting is at the main hall of the second floor. All heads of the clan are at the site and our troops are gathering here now. What is your plan?"

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "When our men arrive, ask them to take over the building immediately to seal the site. Tell them to show no mercy. Miss Lin will take care of it no matter how many people they kill."

Lin Kun hesitated and then said, "Brother, is this too risky? Shall we make some plans? This is too big."

Li Mu scolded him with a glare, "Silly boy, do you know what is a key to successful coercion?"

"The key? No."

"Let me tell you. An unexpected action is the key to a successful coercion. Neither party is given the chance or time to consider the gains or losses. If the plan was told to everyone, nothing could be done."

He patted Lin Kun's shoulder and kept going on, "Boy, don't think I know nothing because I was in the IT industry for years. Let me tell you. It is the same as here. No killing or bleeding, but the game is the same or even darker."

Lin Kun nodded his head and agreed, "I see. This kind of thing must be taken by surprise. It is impossible for us to get prepared in advance. Surprise is the key to win."

"Yes, and this surprise is not just for the other party, but for us too. How complicated it is in a large clan? You can't keep anything unnoticed."

"Brother, I understand the rules, but I'm afraid they may not be ruthless enough to kill."

"So, we need a leader who will start the killing!"

Li Mu looked at Lin Kun seriously, "It must be you. Once you kill someone, they have to follow you because there is no alternative. What do you think? Have you made up your mind?"

Lin Kun hesitated for a second and then said, "Okay. Please don't worry. I will kill anyone who comes near this building."

Li Mu was contented, "It will not take long. You know how fast I can kill. You've seen that, right?" He tried to make Lin Kun feel better.
