Chapter 198 So the amnesia wasn't an accident, it was deliberate?
The bathroom door handle was icy cold.
Lin Zhou placed his hand on it, but did not press it down immediately.
Outside the door lies a warm and cozy world of wife, children, and a heated kang bed.
Inside the door lay the bloody, cruel truth he had just pieced together.
"Accident?"
Lin Zhou lowered his head, a cold, extremely mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Screw the accident."
The 19-year-old heir of a wealthy family drives a top-of-the-line supercar that has its own team performing meticulous maintenance every day.
On a rainy night on a winding mountain road, by sheer coincidence, the brake line completely locks up.
This kind of nonsense is only believed by the original owner of the body who was hit by a car, suffered a concussion, had crippled legs, and lived in a daze every day.
Lin Zhou closed his eyes.
The logical chain in the brain began to close at an unprecedented speed at this moment.
Zhou Lixing.
Ruby ring.
A black umbrella.
This is absolutely no coincidence!
He began frantically searching through the blank space in the original owner's memories regarding the Lin family's bankruptcy.
seven years ago.
It was the third day after the original owner was in a car accident and was sent to the ICU for emergency treatment.
The once-prosperous Lin family of Beijing was suddenly hit by an unprecedented financial storm.
The bank withdrew its loans without warning.
The partners would rather pay a penalty for breach of contract than break the contract.
In the secondary market, several mysterious overseas speculative funds dumped shares, causing the Lin Group's stock price to plummet by 80% in just one week.
Ultimately, the funding chain completely broke down.
In an effort to save the company, the original owner's father sought help from all sides, but ultimately suffered a heart attack and died at a dinner party.
Unable to bear the double blow, the mother also passed away shortly afterward.
The former prince of the capital city suddenly became a paralyzed, debt-ridden rat.
"The technique is too skillful."
Lin Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, the cold glint in them almost freezing the air.
"Banks withdrew loans, public opinion created momentum, and short selling caused a market crash."
"Isn't this exactly the same tactic Zhou Lixing used against Starry Sky Media today?!"
Exactly the same recipe!
Exactly the same butcher's knife!
The only difference is...
Seven years ago, the Lin family was powerless against this combination of attacks and was devoured by the Zhou family, a hungry wolf, leaving not even bone fragments.
Today, Starry Sky Media barely escaped disaster because of Su Zhentian, a powerful figure in the industry.
"I see……"
Lin Zhou took a deep breath.
That car accident was not some terrible accident at all.
That was the Zhou family's opening line in their meat grinder feast against the Lin family!
First, use the most ruthless methods to cripple the Lin family's only heir and break down the Lin family head's psychological defenses.
Then, taking advantage of the situation, they used capital to dismantle the Lin family into eight pieces!
Zhou Lixing was the executioner who stood outside the flames, watching the massacre unfold!
Even the fact that the original owner lost the core memories of that car accident may not be as simple as a concussion.
During the month I was in a coma in the hospital.
Who exactly had contact with him? What medication did he use?
Thinking hard!
Just as Lin Zhou had completely sorted out all the clues...
Suddenly, that cold, mechanical voice rang in my mind.
【Ding--】
[A closed loop in the host logic chain has been detected; the fog of history has been dispelled.]
[Hidden quest triggered: Uncover the truth behind the family's decline.]
[Mission Objective: Identify all those involved in the car accident seven years ago, completely destroy the Zhou family conglomerate, and exact revenge in kind!]
[Mission Reward: Unknown (This reward relates to the ultimate origin of this system; the host must complete it.)]
Lin Zhou listened to the system's announcement without any change in his expression.
"Unknown reward?"
He responded coldly to himself.
"Even if you give me nothing, I'm going to settle this score with him clearly!"
"You messed with my brothers, killed my parents, and now you want to mess with my wife?"
"Zhou Lixing, do you really think you're the king of Beijing?"
Lin Zhou turned on the tap and washed the handles again.
As he dried his hands with a towel, the violent murderous aura emanating from him was perfectly concealed within his very bones.
"Click".
The door lock turned.
Lin Zhou pushed open the bathroom door and went out.
In the living room.
Warm yellow light shone on the carpet.
Nuonuo, wearing fluffy Pikachu pajamas, was running around barefoot on the carpet.
"dad!"
Upon seeing Lin Zhou emerge, the little girl immediately rushed over and hugged his leg.
"Why did it take you so long to wash your hands?"
"I can't wait to hear the Monkey King fight the monsters!"
Lin Zhou bent down, picked up the soft little dumpling, and gently rubbed her cheek with his stubble.
"Dad was practicing his kung fu in the bathroom just now."
"Practice martial arts?" Nuonuo's eyes widened.
"That's right, it's like the Great Sage's Fiery Eyes of Truth."
Lin Zhou smiled and pinched her nose, his tone light and cheerful.
"Otherwise, how can we help Nuonuo catch those bad monsters?"
"Wow! Daddy is amazing!"
Nuonuo clapped her little hands excitedly, her eyes filled with admiration.
At the dining table not far away.
Su Qingge was wearing comfortable loungewear and sitting in front of her laptop.
Her hair was casually pulled back, and she wore blue light blocking glasses, intently processing emails related to company follow-up matters.
Hearing the commotion from the father and daughter.
Su Qingge raised her head and smiled helplessly.
"Lin Zhou, stop teaching her all that fighting and killing. Be careful she doesn't lead the kids to become bandits again at kindergarten tomorrow."
"What's there to be afraid of? My daughter, Lin Zhou's daughter, should have the domineering spirit of the Monkey King."
Lin Zhou carried Nuonuo to the dining table and casually stole a kiss on Su Qingge's cheek.
"Honey, you go ahead with your work, I'll go put this little monkey to sleep."
"Go on, go on, stop being so talkative."
Su Qingge rolled her eyes at him, but the smile in her eyes was undeniable.
Lin Zhou carried Nuonuo into the children's room.
The lights were dimmed.
I tucked the little girl into bed and covered her with the blanket.
"Once upon a time, there was a magic stone on Flower Fruit Mountain..."
Lin Zhou's voice was deep and magnetic, and he told stories vividly.
Less than twenty minutes.
Nuonuo held onto one of Lin Zhou's fingers, her breathing gradually becoming even, and she drifted into a sweet dream.
Long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the eyelids.
A sweet smile still lingered on her lips.
Lin Zhou carefully pulled his fingers out and tucked the blanket around her.
He sat quietly by the bed for a while.
Looking at my daughter's innocent face.
His gaze shifted from extreme tenderness to extreme coldness.
Stand up.
Lin Zhou tiptoed out of the children's room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
He did not immediately go back to the living room.
Instead, he leaned against the shadows of the corridor, quietly watching Su Qingge working under the desk lamp not far away.
The light outlined her beautiful profile.
She frowned slightly as her fingers flew across the keyboard.
For Starry Sky Media, for this family.
She has endured too much pressure and humiliation today that is not rightfully hers.
If it weren't for my father-in-law, Su Zhentian, arriving in time...
Zhou Lixing's unfair contract may really drive her to the brink of despair.
"Zhou Lixing..."
Lin Zhou had his hands in his pockets, his body hidden in the darkness.
His gaze passed through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, looking towards the most bustling yet coldest direction of Beijing's CBD.
The humiliation, resentment, and deep hatred that belonged to the original owner.
At this moment, he achieved the most complete fusion with the soul of this time traveler.
"brother."
In his heart, Lin Zhou whispered to the soul that had long since vanished from this world.
"I have tasted the suffering you have endured."
"I saw the blood your brother shed."
"Now that I've taken over your body and your life."
"Then I will avenge you for this blood debt buried by time."
He stood up straight, and the previous cynicism was gone from his eyes.
Instead.
He is a true hunter, absolutely calm and ruthless when he locks onto his prey.
"We owe the Lin family."
"Not a penny less, it all must be returned."
