CHAPTER 2632: CHAPTER 2633: THE LING FAMILY’S REPUTATION

"No, letting her live would be too easy on her. We should immediately gather everyone and execute that woman in front of everyone, to serve as a warning!"

With each word Ling Xue’er uttered, Lin Baizhong’s face grew colder, and by the end, his gaze at Ling Xue’er was as icy as it could get.

If it weren’t for his great control, he might have already slapped this woman to death!

"Ling Xue’er, shut up!"

Yuan Jue shouted coldly at Ling Xue’er.

He could feel Lin Baizhong’s anger at this moment, though he didn’t know why, but because of Lin Baizhong’s anger, fear crept into his heart.

However, Ling Xue’er, completely oblivious, thought her words weren’t harsh enough and wanted to say more.

"Yuan Jue, are you still trying to plead for that woman? Don’t you see where we are? This is Commander Lin’s territory." Ling Xue’er gave Yuan Jue a smug glance.

She believed Lin Baizhong would definitely act against Lin Caisang for her father’s sake!

"That woman must die, she...ugh!"

Unfortunately, her smugness didn’t last long before a hand clamped around her throat.

"Lin... Commander Lin, what... what are you doing? I am... the legitimate daughter of the Ling Family, you..."

She was quickly choked by Lin Baizhong’s grip, her face turning red as she struggled to pry his fingers from her neck, speaking haltingly.

"Commander Lin!"

Yuan Jue also shouted in shock.

No matter how much he hated Ling Xue’er, he was aware of her status as the Ling Family’s eldest daughter and never actually harmed her.

But why did Commander Lin suddenly turn on Ling Xue’er? He hurried forward, trying to persuade Lin Baizhong to show mercy. Even for the sake of Family Head Ling, he couldn’t really kill Ling Xue’er.

But before he could plead, he heard Lin Baizhong’s words and was stunned.

"So what? Because you are the Ling Family’s eldest daughter, I, the Commander, should kill the precious daughter I cherish in my heart for a lowly outsider like you?"

Lin Baizhong’s grip on Ling Xue’er’s neck tightened once more.

"Your Ling Family really has a big face, huh!"

"Ugh!"

Ling Xue’er was so choked she couldn’t say a word, her breath dwindling, suffering immensely.

But no pain compared to the shock of Lin Baizhong’s words.

What did she hear? That woman she thought had no background turned out to be Commander Lin’s biological daughter? The very same daughter of Commander Lin who even accepted the legitimate daughter of the Ding Family as a servant?

If it really is like this, then she’s truly not far from her death, and even their Ling Family couldn’t hope to hold a place on the Illusion Continent any longer.

To know, Commander Lin was someone even the City Lord had to show deference to!

How could this happen, how did it come to this?

That woman was supposed to be a nobody, how could she be the exalted biological daughter of Commander Lin?

"Commander... spare me."

She felt herself on the brink of being choked to death and struggled, face flushed, begging Lin Baizhong for mercy.

She didn’t want to die, even if she offended Commander Lin, she didn’t want to die. Her father had said, even if the sky fell, it wouldn’t matter, that her father and mother would clean up all the mess for her.
