Free Web NovelChapter 34: The End of Ling Han
Inside the Ling Family estate.
"SHIT!"
Ling Han’s furious roar echoed throughout the mansion.
CRASH!
A priceless vase shattered against the wall.
BANG!
A table flipped over.
Anything within reach was destroyed without mercy.
Even the servants weren’t spared.
One of his personal maids lay collapsed on the floor, blood running down the side of her face after being caught in his rampage.
"That cheating whore!" Ling Han screamed, his eyes bloodshot from rage. "After everything I’ve done for her!"
He kicked over another chair before grabbing a liquor bottle and hurling it across the room.
Glass exploded everywhere.
"Useless! Everyone is fucking useless!"
Eventually, exhaustion began catching up to him.
Breathing heavily, Ling Han staggered outside into the backyard before lighting a cigarette with trembling hands.
The orange glow illuminated his twisted expression beneath the moonlight.
"Ye Chen is pathetic... Shen Tian is a homewrecker... I can’t rely on anybody..."
He took a deep drag before violently stomping the cigarette into the ground.
"How the hell am I supposed to fight the Shen Family!? Damn it!"
Suddenly, police sirens echoed in the distance.
Ling Han froze.
"...What?"
As he walked toward the front yard, several police vehicles suddenly came speeding through the gates before stopping directly outside the mansion. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Doors slammed open.
Armed officers quickly surrounded the area.
"GET ON THE GROUND!"
"Hands where we can see them!"
Police immediately raised their weapons toward him.
Ling Han’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Do you know who I am?!" he roared while pointing at them furiously. "I’ll have every single one of you fired!"
But not a single officer moved.
Then a beautiful woman stepped out from one of the vehicles.
Ruan Yizhen.
"Lower your weapons," she ordered calmly. "I’ll handle this."
The officers immediately obeyed.
Seeing her, Ling Han finally relaxed slightly.
"Hah... good. At least someone here has common sense," he sneered. "I don’t want to sue your entire department."
Then suddenly...
BZTTT!!
A taser slammed directly into his body.
"AAAAAGH!"
Ling Han convulsed violently before collapsing face first onto the ground.
Ruan Yizhen calmly walked over and pinned his arms behind his back while cuffing him.
"Mr. Han," she said coldly, "you are being detained on suspicion of aggravated assault and domestic abuse."
At the same time, first responders rushed into the mansion.
A few moments later, paramedics emerged carrying the battered maid on a stretcher.
Even the experienced officers looked disgusted after seeing her condition.
Ling Han had completely lost all dignity.
His pants were soaked.
Ruan Yizhen looked down at him with visible contempt before signaling her officers.
"Take him away."
As Ling Han was dragged toward the police vehicle screaming curses...
Ruan Yizhen quietly pulled out her phone.
A warm smile unconsciously appeared on her face while looking at the message Shen Tian had sent earlier warning her about the situation.
Without his tip, that maid might not have survived the night.
Ruan Yizhen hesitated slightly before typing out a reply.
"Thank you. I owe you one."
Her fingers paused.
"...Should I ask him out to dinner?"
Almost immediately, her face turned red.
"No, no... he’s probably busy... But... I want to see him..."
But before Ruan Yizhen realized it, her finger had already pressed send.
A fellow female officer nearby immediately noticed her flustered expression.
"Oh?" she teased while leaning over curiously. "Why are you suddenly acting so cute?"
Ruan Yizhen panicked and quickly hid her phone behind her back.
"No—Nothing!"
The female officer narrowed her eyes mischievously.
"Reaaaally..."
"Leave me alone!"
Ruan Yizhen immediately jogged away in embarrassment, desperately trying to hide the blush spreading across her cheeks.
Before long, news of Ling Han’s arrest spread throughout the entire country.
Not only had his assault charges been exposed, but evidence of corruption within the Ling Family businesses had also surfaced online almost immediately.
Bribery.
Money laundering.
Illegal business dealings.
Tax fraud.
One scandal after another exploded across every media platform. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The Ling Family’s stock prices completely collapsed overnight.
Companies that had already been struggling instantly crashed beyond recovery.
Investors fled in panic.
Partners cut ties immediately.
Banks froze accounts.
Even families once loyal to the Ling family began distancing themselves out of fear of being dragged down with them.
The once glorious Ling Family, that had stood for thousands of years, was now falling apart in less than twenty-four hours.
Meanwhile, inside a cold prison cell, Ling Han sat silently in front of a small television.
Every 24/hour news channel was talking about him.
About the Ling family.
About the downfall of a dynasty.
His eyes looked hollow.
Empty.
The arrogance and fury from before had long disappeared.
All that remained was despair.
He stared blankly at the television as another reporter spoke.
"The Ling Family is expected to officially declare bankruptcy within the next few days..."
"...Several high ranking executives are already under investigation..."
"...This may very well be the end of one of the oldest families in the country..."
Ling Han slowly lowered his head.
His hands trembled violently.
"It’s over..."
The Ling family line had ended with him.
He could already imagine facing his ancestors in death.
A disgrace.
A failure.
Someone who destroyed everything they had built.
Ling Han suddenly began laughing.
A broken, hollow laugh filled the prison cell.
He stood up.
Later that night, police discovered his body hanging from bedsheets tied to the ceiling bars of his cell.
There was only one message left on the wall, written in blood:
"Curse you, Shen Tian!"
Even in death, Ling Han refused to let go of his hatred.
In his eyes, everything that had happened was Shen Tian’s fault.
The collapse of the Ling Family.
The loss of his wife.
The loss of his daughter.
The destruction of everything he had spent his life building.
No matter how much of it was caused by his own actions, Ling Han could never accept that reality.
