<h4>Chapter 982: Chapter 989: The Shi Family Comes Looking for Trouble</h4>


    "Chen, a group of people came to the Nanrong family looking for you. Sister is holding them off and told me to give you a call to inform you."


    "Looking for me?" Ling Chen asked, "Do you know who they are?"


    "I’m not sure, but they seem aggressive, so they’re probably here to cause trouble. Chen, if you ask me, you’d better note back for a few days to avoid a conflict with them. Sister said, if it really doesn’t work out, we can call the police for help. After all, they’re looking for you, they wouldn’t dare do anything to us."


    Ling Chen found it odd. He hadn’t provoked anyone, so why would someone being for him?


    After thinking for a moment, Ling Chen instructed, "Haozi, go find out who they are."


    "Alright, I’ll ask around, but I’m not sure if that fierce woman will spill anything."


    "Fierce woman?" Ling Chen perked up upon hearing Nanrong Hao’s description and asked, "Haozi, is the leader a middle-aged woman?"


    "That’s right."


    It must be her!


    Ling Chen thought to himself. Last time he caused a scene at the Shi family, he didn’t expect Shi Su woulde looking for trouble so quickly.


    "Haozi, how many people did that woman bring?"


    "A lot, probably over twenty, and they all look fierce. Chen, you..."


    "Enough!" Ling Chen interrupted, "I got it. Stay home, I’ll head back immediately."


    "Chen, isn’t that bad? Those folks are clearly looking for trouble, you shouldn’t bother with them."


    "I can avoid them for now, but I can’t hide forever. I know how these people are; they won’t stop until they catch me."


    After ending the call, Ling Chen informed Tang Guolun and then drove alone to Wealthy Manor.


    When Ling Chen arrived at Wealthy Manor, he saw the property management had organized a security team heading to the Nanrong family’s location.


    Following the security team, Ling Chen went straight to the Nanrong family’s door. Looking around, he saw the entrance was upied by over twenty people, packed tightly. Moreover, Ling Chen could clearly hear Shi Su’s voice.


    "I’m warning you, hand over Ling Chen immediately. Otherwise, don’t me me for being rude to your Nanrong family."


    At this moment, Nanrong Wanqing stood at her family’s entrance, ring at the aggressive Shi Su, "I’ve already told you, Ling Chen isn’t here. If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to call the police."


    "Call the police?" Shi Su sneered, "Are you trying to scare me? Let me tell you, my Shi family isn’t easily intimidated. If you don’t hand over Ling Chen today, I’ll make sure your Nanrong family has a tough time."


    As she spoke, the security team from Wealthy Manor arrived, quickly stepping in between the two parties in conflict.


    As homeowners, the security team from the property naturally sided with the Nanrong family.


    A leading security guard pointed at Shi Su, "Who are you people? I warn you, this is Wealthy Manor. You can’t trouble the homeowners without their consent. Leave now, or we’ll force you out."


    "Are you even worthy?" Shi Su snorted and turned to her followers, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work."


    A husky man stepped out from the crowd, gruffly saying, "Ms. Shi, don’t worry, I’ll handle these small fries."


    As he finished speaking, the man stretched out his hands, lifted two security guards, and tossed them over the heads of the crowd.


    "Anyone else?" The man pped his hands, ring fiercely at the other security guards.


    Seeing the man’s prowess, the security guards involuntarily took a step back, fearfully looking at him, none daring to make a move.


    "You... you dare to hurt people?" The lead security guard mustered his courage, "I’ll call the police and have you arrested, believe it or not!"


    "Hmph! A bunch of losers. What else can you do besides calling the police?" Shi Su scoffed. Then she turned her gaze back to Nanrong Wanqing, coldly saying, "Miss Nanrong, I advise you not to test my patience."


    "Tsk, tsk! Ms. Shi, what a disy of authority."


    As the voice spoke, everyone turned to look back. There, they saw Ling Chen approaching leisurely, hands behind his back.


    Seeing Ling Chen, Shi Su’s eyes immediately gleamed with a venomous look.


    "You finally showed up. I thought you wouldn’t daree."


    Ling Chen smiled faintly, "Ms. Shi, you came all this way to find me. How could I not show up? That would be too disrespectful to you." As he said this, Ling Chen nced around at those present and asked, "Ms. Shi, did you invite all these people to back you up?"


    "Weren’t you quite arrogantst time at my Shi family? Today, I’d like to see how capable you really are."


    "Ms. Shi, what do you intend to do with this kid?" the husky man from earlier asked.


    Shi Su gritted her teeth, "Simple, cripple his hands and feet for me. Let’s see how arrogant he can be in the future."


    "Alright, no problem, watch and see." With that, the man strode toward Ling Chen.


    "Wait!" Seeing the man approach, Ling Chen immediately raised his hand to stop him.


    "What, are you afraid?" Shi Su sneered.


    "Not really, I just wanted to ask them something."


    "Ask what?"


    Ling Chen turned to the husky man, "Are you all helping them because you’ve received favors from the Shi family?"


    "That’s right." The man nodded, "The Shi family once saved my life. Not only me, but they’ve saved everyone here too."


    "I understand. However, have you considered that by asking you to repay this favor, the Shi family might actually be putting you in danger?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Ling Chen pointed at himself, asking, "Do you know who I am?"


    "Ling Chen."


    "Since you know who I am, you should understand my identity. I’m a member of the Eight Oddities. If anything happens to me, do you think the Eight Oddities will let you go?"


    Upon hearing this, the man and the others were momentarily stunned. They were only thinking about repaying their debt, without considering this aspect.


    The Eight Oddities were known for their strong sense of loyalty, something everyone in the martial arts world was aware of. If Ling Chen were harmed, the Eight Oddities would never let it slide. Moreover, all Eight Oddities were highly skilled and formidable, and none of those present could confidently say they weren’t afraid of the Eight Oddities seeking revenge.


    Seeing everyone silently standing there, Ling Chen slightly smiled, saying, "Folks, repayment should be thought through. Shi Su brought you all here to satisfy her own desires, without considering your well-being. You all are adults, so why not think for yourselves?"


    "Shut up!" Shi Su said coldly, "Don’t listen to his nonsense, everyone."
