chapter 4 You'd better kneel down

"Frame?" Aaron Lin's face turned icy, and he slammed the table in anger. "You still won't admit your mistakes? There are already pictures of you in the act. Caught red-handed! I'd like to see how you explain this!"
At that moment, Daniel Lin conveniently produced several photos and said with feigned sincerity, "Ah, Arno, you've really messed up this time!"
The seductive woman immediately started fake crying when she saw these photos.
When old master of Lin saw these materials, his rage knew no bounds. "Animal! Kneel down! Apologize to your sister-in-law!"
"Why should I kneel for someone who framed me? I, Arno Lin, would kneel to the heavens, my parents, but not to such a despicable person!" Arno Lin stopped in his tracks, gazing directly at old master of Lin with a serious expression.
"You!" Old master of Lin was furious, and Aaron Lin was grinding his teeth with anger, shouting, "You insolent wretch! If I tell you to kneel, you will kneel! The Lin family isn't something you can negotiate with!"
"You think you're worthy of making me kneel?" Arno Lin sneered.
This statement caused Aaron Lin's blood pressure to surge, and he couldn't contain his anger. He swung a palm towards Arno Lin.
With a hint of cold amusement at the corner of his mouth, Arno Lin reached out and grabbed Aaron Lin's hand in mid-air. Then, he did something that left everyone in disbelief.
In full view of the audience, he performed a shoulder throw and sent Aaron Lin flying!
"Oh..."
Aaron Lin was thrown several meters away, almost injuring his posterior.
Upon witnessing this, Daniel Lin immediately roared, "Animal! Look at what you've done! Do you still consider yourself a part of the Lin family? Kneel down for me!"
He rushed towards Arno Lin, filled with rage.
"Just you? You're not even qualified to represent the Lin family."
Arno Lin coldly smiled and said, "And, have you forgotten what I said earlier?"
"Smack!"
Arno Lin threw a slap, catching Daniel Lin off guard, causing him to see stars.
Then, Arno Lin kicked Daniel Lin's knee.
"Ah!"
A pitiful cry, and Daniel Lin knelt down.
The scene fell into silence. Arno Lin had gone insane. He had caused a commotion in the Lin family in front of so many people and even beaten Daniel Lin and his son. This was all happening in front of old master of Lin!
"Arno Lin, what are you trying to do? Why don't you kneel and apologize?"
"Animal! You're truly an animal! Not only did you harass your sister-in-law, but now that your deeds are exposed, you're resorting to violence. It's outrageous!"
The relatives immediately reprimanded him in anger.
Arno Lin chuckled, sweeping his gaze over them, and said calmly, "I've been accommodating to you all in daily life because you are my family, and I've given you face. Don't think I'm afraid of you."
"Who wants to kneel down, come over and join Daniel Lin!"
In the hall, it fell into silence once again, and every pin drop could be heard.
They stared at Arno Lin with shock and bewilderment, finding him utterly unfamiliar. Was this the same junkie who had no standing in the family and had always been submissive?
"Arno Lin, what exactly do you want? You've gone too far; you've truly gone too far!" Old master of Lin had never been this furious.

"Arno Lin, do you truly believe you've done nothing wrong?" Old master of Lin slammed his armrest and stood up, exuding a terrifying aura.

As the head of the Lin family, his presence was overwhelming, and it made everyone in the vicinity pause, too afraid to speak.

"I haven't," Arno Lin remained upright, showing no intention to yield or admit wrongdoing.

"You claim you're framed, but where's your evidence?" Old master of Lin furrowed his brow. After being initially enraged, he began to find the situation somewhat suspicious. How could it be so coincidental that Arno Lin's attempt to harass his sister-in-law was captured on camera?

"I don't have evidence at the moment, but I can guarantee that I was set up and poisoned last night. I almost didn't make it through the night," Arno Lin asserted with conviction, which surprised those in the Lin family. If what Arno Lin said was true, it was a significant matter!

Arno Lin glanced at the seductive woman and noticed a hint of panic in her eyes. He then flashed a cold smile.

"Everything you're saying is speculative. Without evidence, it doesn't count," old master of Lin said, still frowning.

"Grandfather, give me a week, and I will definitely find the evidence," Arno Lin looked at old master of Lin with sincerity.

"Dad! We can't listen to this scoundrel's baseless claims. I suggest we expel him from the Lin family right now. This time, Yanran almost fell victim to his actions. What if he loses his mind and targets other women from prominent families? Our Lin family will be destroyed by him!" Aaron Lin urged.

"Silence!" Old master of Lin bellowed, causing Aaron Lin to immediately shut his mouth, behaving like a docile child.

"What if, after a week, you still haven't found any evidence?" old master of Lin spoke in a stern tone, looking at Arno Lin.

"By then, you don't have to do much. I will voluntarily sever my ties with the Lin family," Arno Lin responded seriously.

"Very well! I will give you one week!"

"Disperse, everyone! Let's end today's matter here," old master of Lin ordered, and soon, the people in the hall left.

Only Daniel Lin and his son remained, glaring at Arno Lin. After a cold snort, they also departed.

Before leaving, Daniel Lin's lips curved into a sly smile. Evidence? What evidence? All the evidence had been erased. If the individuals involved hid for a week, let's see if Arno Lin could find any evidence. This time, he was sure to be expelled from the Lin family.

As Arno Lin observed Daniel Lin's excitement, he couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that Daniel Lin and his accomplices were responsible for this, which added an interesting twist.

Siblings at odds were not something Arno Lin had any interest in. However, if it involved himself, he wouldn't hesitate.

Exiting the hall, Arno Lin saw Kari Chu anxiously waiting. He felt somewhat ashamed and wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words. In the end, he managed a wry smile.

This wry smile, to Kari Chu, seemed like a guilty smile. She didn't know what had happened, but seeing Arno Lin's demeanor, she knew it wasn't a good situation. She decided not to ask because she felt it would only make her more upset.

Without a word exchanged during the ride, the two of them took a taxi and soon arrived at a place called Shangshui Uptown, a residential complex.
