Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

A sharp scream burst from Meng Qingchao's mouth; he was trembling all over from the pain.

Meng Qingchao's broken hands may recover, but his legs, which were crushed to powder, have no hope of recovery. To survive, he must have his legs amputated.

From now on, he will be a useless person who can't get out of bed.

Lin Ping's cold face was somewhat ferocious, like a wild beast that had just crawled out of a pile of corpses, his whole body covered in blood.

Everyone was stunned and a sense of fear arose within them; they dared not utter a single word of reproach against Lin Ping.

Especially Su Qingya and her daughter, who obediently hid in a corner, not daring to face Lin Ping's gaze.

Lin Ping is a madman; he's capable of any insane thing.

The old lady's heart was bleeding, and she was trembling with anger, but she dared not make things difficult for Lin Ping to his face.

Huang Jiayu was equally terrified, never expecting Lin Ping to be so ruthless, completely unlike the poor boy from the countryside.

"Lin'er, why are you doing this to yourself?" Huang Jiayu shook her head helplessly.

She knew Lin Ping was trying to get justice for Meng Qingge, but he shouldn't have crippled Meng Qingchao.

A commotion had already broken out outside the Meng residence, mostly as government officials rushed over upon hearing the news.

"If Aunt Huang is still not satisfied, I will kill him immediately." Lin Ping smiled faintly, his expression quite incongruous with his appearance.

Huang Jiayu immediately shook her head and said, "Lin'er, you must run! The government officials are coming soon, and the Meng family will not let you go."

Lin Ping smiled and shook his head: "Why would I run away if I'm getting rid of a scoundrel for the Meng family?"

He seemed unaware of the seriousness of offending the authorities; once imprisoned, there would be no turning back.

As they were talking, the government officials entered through the gate. The leader was a constable, followed by a dozen or so constables, all of whom were carrying knives.

"Men, seize this thug!" The constable's face turned cold, not intending to give Lin Ping a chance to explain.

Although Lin Ping's expression was somewhat ferocious, he was, after all, a lone man with no weapons, so the constables were not afraid.

"Wait a minute." Meng Qingge spread her arms to block Lin Ping's path: "I'm the one who hit him, arrest me instead."

The events of last night were still vivid in her mind. If Lin Ping hadn't helped her, she would have already been defiled by Zhang Mingfang and would probably be hanging herself by now.

Not only that, but their reputation after death cannot be preserved.

Moreover, Lin Ping beat Meng Qingchao to vent his anger for her.

She should take the blame herself.

The captain glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Miss Meng, are you trying to fool me? You think you can cripple Meng Qingchao?"

A dozen or so constables bypassed Meng Qingge and headed straight for Lin Ping.

"Lin'er, run! Escape through the backyard!" Huang Jiayu said anxiously, blocking the way of several constables.

Judging from Lin Ping's attack on Meng Qingchao, he must be quite capable; escaping by scaling a wall would be no problem for him. He shouldn't have foolishly waited to be caught.

"Lord Captain, kill him quickly and avenge me!" Meng Qingchao shouted hysterically, wishing he could see Lin Ping die.

The head constable naturally understood Meng Qingchao's meaning: if Lin Ping were killed, he would surely gain a lot of benefits.

But he couldn't order the killing before interrogating Lin Ping. He waited for Lin Ping to escape so that he could kill him on the grounds of resisting arrest.

"Wait!"

Just as a dozen or so constables surrounded Lin Ping, an old voice came from the backyard.

All eyes were drawn to that familiar voice.

With the butler's help, the old man slowly walked over. His thin face was somewhat frightening, but he looked much better than before.

"Rest assured, sir, I will certainly uphold justice for Young Master Qingchao," the constable said obsequiously.

He naturally recognized the old man and could guess his intentions.

As long as Lin Ping is dealt with severely, we can obtain benefits from the Meng family.

"Grandpa, you've finally arrived! This brat has crippled me. You must kill him now!" Meng Qingchao said with even more confidence.

The reason the Meng family was able to become a second-rate family was entirely due to the old master's efforts. He had many connections in the government office, and killing Lin Ping would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"Grandpa, don't listen to Meng Qingchao's nonsense. He was the one who harmed me first. Young Master Lin was just trying to avenge me," Meng Qingge hurriedly explained.

Although the old master usually dotes on her, it doesn't mean he will dote on Lin Ping, an outsider. Meng Qingchao is, after all, the eldest grandson, and now that he has been crippled by Lin Ping, the old master can't possibly side with outsiders.

The old man had a cold expression, and no one could fathom his thoughts.

"I wonder why you, Chief Constable, want to uphold justice for Meng Qingchao? And how will you do so?" the old man asked calmly.

The constable was taken aback for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Young Master Meng was beaten, so the government will naturally uphold justice for him and bring the culprits to justice."

"Then please, Chief, take this old man away." The old man stretched out his hands, making a gesture of giving up resistance.

???

Everyone was dumbfounded. What did that mean?

The constable stood there stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "Old Master Meng is joking. Your grandson was beaten; you are the victim. How can you be arrested?"

“It was I who pleaded with Young Master Lin to break this unfilial son’s legs, because he violated the family rules and deserved to be punished. If the authorities do not recognize the Meng family rules, then arrest me.”

The old man explained.

A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.

Meng Qingge violated the family rules and was brutally beaten by Lin Ping in front of the ancestral hall, which did not violate the law at all.

The government even praised the Meng family for their strict family rules, saying that if all wealthy families had such rules, there would probably be far fewer people committing crimes.

"Withdraw!" The constable's face was gloomy. He knew he had come for nothing. He even glared angrily at Meng Qingchao, as if to say: You deserve it. Even your own grandfather wouldn't help you.

After the soldiers left, Lin Ping and the old man exchanged a smile.

Clearly, this was a trap set by Lin Pingbu, which explains his fearlessness.

He knew that hitting someone was illegal, but it was a different story if the family rules were being enforced in front of the ancestral hall. He wouldn't break Meng Qingchao's legs or even kill him.

The old man helped Lin Ping for two reasons: first, he deeply abhorred Meng Qingchao's actions; second, his life was in Lin Ping's hands, so how could he not help him?

He did this mainly for the sake of the Meng family. Only when Meng Qingge truly takes power and receives Lin Ping's help can the Meng family rise to a higher level and even become a first-class family.

"Grandpa, how can you help an outsider? I'm your own grandson!" Meng Qingchao asked, puzzled.

"I have no scumbag grandson like you. From this day forward, the Meng family has nothing to do with you anymore," the old man said angrily.

Since we've decided to step in, let's do it thoroughly, clearing all obstacles for Meng Qingge so she can fully utilize her abilities.

"No, no, I don't want to be kicked out of the house." Meng Qingchao's face was full of panic, unable to accept the fact.

Now he is a useless person, and if he is kicked out of his home, he will likely starve to death on the streets.

"Get out!" the old man said mercilessly, giving him no chance.

You reap what you sow. Meng Qingchao's biggest mistake was crossing Lin Ping's bottom line.
