Chapter 1232: Four Gangs from Taiwan Cause Trouble?

In the latter half of the night, the moonlight faded somewhat, turning into a clear radiance that shone through the gaps in the curtains, weaving delicate silver patterns on the carpet.

On the bed, Lin Lang turned to his side and held Wang Xinling tightly in his arms, his large hands gently protecting her back. The two of them fell asleep sweetly in each other's arms.

Wang Xinling's cheek was pressed against Lin Lang's warm chest, her nose brushing against the faint tobacco scent on his body. One leg was naturally draped over his calf, and her arms were wrapped around Lin Lang's neck like vines. Her breathing was even and long, carrying the tranquility of a deep sleep.

Their breaths mingled, gently brushing against each other's skin, creating a beautiful scene that evoked a sense of tranquility and peace.

Suddenly, "Ring ring ring—"

The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly burst into a sharp ringtone, like an unexpected blade slicing through the stillness of the night.

The ringing was urgent and shrill, repeating over and over, like a death knell, disturbing everyone's peace.

Lin Lang, who was a light sleeper to begin with, was instantly awakened, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

He was afraid that the ringing of his phone would wake the beauty in his arms, so he reached for his phone with one hand.

When Lin Lang saw the word "Mom" on Wang Xinling's phone caller ID, he felt a little uneasy. He gently nudged Wang Xinling in his arms, his voice hoarse from just waking up.

"Honey, your mother called in the middle of the night. Is something wrong at home?"

Wang Xinling was woken up by being nudged. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and sat up with a somewhat bewildered expression.

She took the phone from Lin Lang, and when she saw the word "Mom" on the screen, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly pressed the button to answer: "Mom, why are you calling so late at night? Is something wrong?"

There was no immediate response on the other end of the phone; instead, there was a suppressed sob.

Wang Xinling asked anxiously, "Mom, why are you crying? What happened?"

The phone rang with Xu Meizhu's anxious voice, thick with sobs, each word filled with panic: "Something terrible has happened... Daughter, your brother... your brother has been kidnapped by Yang Xiong, the leader of the Sihai Gang!"

"What?" Wang Xinling instantly woke up, all sleepiness gone, her voice rising several decibels, "My brother is in college, an ordinary college student, how could he have gotten involved with the Four Seas Gang?"

"It's all that girl's fault!" Xu Meizhu cried even louder, her words filled with helplessness and anxiety.

"Your brother recently started dating a girl at university. She's beautiful and cute, and they're really in love. They even went to a hotel last night. But who knew..."

Xu Meizhu's voice choked with sobs as she cried.

"Mom, don't cry. What happened next?" Wang Xinling asked anxiously, her face pale.

"Who knew that girl was being kept by Yang Xiong, the leader of the Sihai Gang! The two of them were caught red-handed by the Sihai Gang in their hotel room, and your brother was beaten half to death!"

Wang Xinling's heart sank suddenly, and her fingers gripping the phone tightened involuntarily until her knuckles turned white: "Then... what do they want?"

Xu Meizhu said through sobs, "After they found out that your brother had a celebrity sister, they made outrageous demands, asking for five million in compensation, saying that your brother slept with their boss's girlfriend! If you can't come up with the money by noon tomorrow, they'll... they'll cut off one of your brother's hands."

"Daughter, what should I do? I don't have that much money!"

Wang Xinling felt a buzzing in her head, as if her blood had frozen instantly. Her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Mom, don't worry. I have money in my bank account. I... I'll try to transfer the money to your account right now. You can use the money to redeem my brother. We absolutely cannot let him lose an arm and become a cripple."

"Okay, okay! Your mother and brother will definitely find a way to pay you back this money later." Xu Meizhu's voice trembled with tears in it.

"Mom, we're all family, let's not talk about this. I'll hang up now and find a way to transfer the money to you."

"Then it all depends on you, my daughter!" Xu Meizhu cried as she hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Wang Xinling looked at Lin Lang with tears in her eyes and said, "Honey, do ATMs in mainland China have daily transfer limits? Can you transfer five million yuan at once?"

While wiping away Wang Xinling's tears with heartache, Lin Lang replied, "No, the daily ATM transfer limit for ordinary bank cards is no more than 50,000."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinling said anxiously, "What should we do? The bank counters are still closed for transfers in the middle of the night, I'm so worried!"

Lin Lang asked knowingly, "What happened? Did your brother-in-law get into trouble?"

Wang Xinling replied through tears, "My younger brother had a girlfriend in college, but little did we know she was a college student being kept by Yang Xiong, the leader of the Four Seas Gang in Taiwan."

"My brother checked into a hotel with this girl tonight and was caught and beaten half to death by the Sihai Gang."

"When the Four Seas Gang learned that my brother had an older sister who was a celebrity, they made an outrageous demand, claiming that my brother had slept with their boss's girlfriend and that if he didn't pay five million in compensation by noon tomorrow, they would cut off one of my brother's hands."

"Honey, what should we do?"

Lin Lang gently comforted her, "Don't cry, honey. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. Why are you so scared over such a small thing?"

Wang Xinling sniffed and looked at Lin Lang with teary eyes, saying, "Husband, I only have one younger brother. If the Four Seas Gang cuts off his hand and he becomes disabled for life, how will my mother live?"

Lin Lang embraced Wang Xinling and gently stroked her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "You're just the leader of the Sihai Gang. You don't have much power. Even the Italian Mafia boss could be sent to the Yellow Springs by me in a minute."

"But husband, distant water can't quench immediate thirst. How can you stand up for my brother who's far away in Taiwan when you're so far away in the ocean?"

Lin Lang smiled confidently and said, "Have you forgotten? Your husband is a man who is comparable to God. Now you should get dressed, take your passport, and I will take you back to Taiwan to rescue your brother-in-law."

Wang Xinling wiped away her tears and said, "Honey, is it possible to buy a plane ticket to Taiwan in the middle of the night? Or should we take Chu Yiren's private jet?"

Lin Lang stopped hiding it and revealed his true intentions: "If you bring your passport, you can go back to the mainland by plane. I can teleport you to Taiwan."

"Huh? What?" Wang Xinling was a little confused, completely bewildered.

"Stop standing there, you silly wife! Aren't you going to rush to save your brother or not?"

"Oh." Wang Xinling finally came to her senses and hurriedly got out of bed to start getting dressed.

Lin Lang began to dress calmly, having already received a system notification in his mind.

"Ding! Friendly reminder to the host: Wang Renyou has been kidnapped and taken to the basement of the Zui Ru Meng Nightclub in Ximending, Taiwan, which is under the territory of the Si Hai Gang. As for Yang Xiong, the leader of the Si Hai Gang, he is currently taking drugs in private room 308 on the third floor of the Zui Ru Meng Nightclub."

Upon receiving the system notification, a ruthless expression flashed across Lin Lang's face.

Soon, Wang Xinling finished dressing, found her passport and stuffed it into her bag, then looked anxiously at Lin Lang and said, "Honey, I'm ready, let's go out now!"

Lin Lang slowly buttoned up his shirt, then hugged Wang Xinling and said, "Baby, close your eyes."

"Why are you closing your eyes?" Wang Xinling blinked her big, wet eyes, looking at Lin Lang with great confusion.

"Good boy/girl, I told you to close your eyes, so you close your eyes."

"Okay." Wang Xinling took a deep breath and closed her eyes nervously.

Lin Lang quietly triggered the [Space-Time Mass Teleportation] skill, and a faint golden light emanated from his palm, enveloping him and Wang Xinling.

"call out……"

The next second, the light and shadow around them suddenly distorted, and the golden light in Lin Lang's palm enveloped the two of them, and the scene in the bedroom disappeared like crumpled pages of paper.

Wang Xinling felt dizzy, her ears filled with the sharp sound of wind, as if she had been thrown into a high-speed spinning vortex, and her stomach churned.

"call……"

The feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, and she staggered when her feet touched the ground, but Lin Lang caught her steadily.

She opened her eyes abruptly and was instantly stunned by the sight before her—the damp basement was filled with the smell of rust and mildew, and the light bulb above her head flickered, casting a pale light on the corner of the wall.

Before Wang Xinling could react and ask Lin Lang what was going on, she saw a familiar figure tied to a chair with thick hemp rope in the corner of the basement. His mouth was swollen and his face was covered in blood. It was her younger brother, Wang Renyou.

His mouth was taped shut, and his eyes were filled with fear.

The moment Wang Ren saw his sister Wang Xinling, his right pupils contracted sharply, a choked sob escaped his throat, and he struggled desperately, causing the chair to creak.

"Brother!" Wang Xinling's voice trembled, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand.

"Holy crap! How did these two get in?" Three thugs from the Sihai Gang who were guarding Wang Renyou were sitting around a card table playing cards when they were shocked to see strangers break into the basement.

They were clearly not expecting anyone to appear out of nowhere. They exchanged a surprised glance, and the three thugs grabbed steel pipes from the side and rushed over.

Lin Lang pulled Wang Xinling behind him, his eyes turning cold, and then went to meet her.

His movements were so fast they were almost blurry. He dodged the steel pipe swung by the man on his left, and his elbow struck the man's ribs with a soft "crack." The man cried out in pain and bent over.

Lin Lang delivered another chop to the back of his neck, and the man instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Just as the thug on the right swung the steel pipe at Lin Lang, Lin Lang grabbed his wrist, twisted it in the opposite direction, and the steel pipe fell to the ground with a "clang." Immediately afterwards, he was kneed in the abdomen and curled up on the ground with a muffled groan.

Lin Lang followed up with another fierce kick, and the opponent immediately fell silent.

The last thug swung a baseball bat at Lin Lang, but Lin Lang delivered a flying spinning kick, sending him flying more than three meters away, crashing into the wall, falling to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and losing his fighting ability.

In just over ten seconds, Lin Lang easily dispatched the three thugs from the Four Seas Gang.

Wang Xinling, ignoring her shock, staggered to her brother and shakily tore off the tape from his mouth.

"Sister! Sister! You've finally come!" Wang Renyou's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, tears mixed with blood streaming down his face. "The Four Seas Gang beat me to death... saying I slept with their boss's girlfriend... I thought I was going to die... sob sob..."

"Don't be afraid, your brother-in-law and I are here, everything's alright." Wang Xinling reached out to untie the rope binding her younger brother, but her fingers kept slipping due to her excitement.

Lin Lang strode over, snapped his fingers to trigger his telekinetic superpower, and the rope binding Wang Renyou landed safely and automatically untied.

Wang Xinling was so shocked by this scene that she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Wow... Honey, how did you do that?"

Before Lin Lang could answer, the moment the ropes automatically untied, Wang Renyou collapsed from the chair, slumped to the ground, and clung to Wang Xinling's legs, crying like a child.

Wang Xinling squatted on the ground, crying as she comforted him, "Don't cry, bro. It's your own fault for dating the wrong person. You fell in love with the female college student being kept by the boss of the Four Seas Gang."

"Alright, why are you crying, you grown men? Get up first." Lin Lang helped Wang Renyou up and checked his injuries. Although he had been beaten quite badly, they were mostly superficial wounds.

Wang Renyou stood up tearfully, and after recognizing that it was Lin Lang who had saved him, he exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Sister, the brother-in-law you just mentioned is the world's richest man, Lin Lang?"

Wang Xinling nodded with tears in her eyes and replied, "Yes, hurry up and thank your brother-in-law for saving you!"

Wang Renyou immediately held back his tears, straightened his body through the pain, bowed respectfully, and greeted Lin Lang, "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Looking at Wang Renyou, whose face was bruised and swollen, Lin Lang insincerely praised him, "My brother-in-law is quite a handsome man!"

"Thank you for the compliment, brother-in-law!" Wang Renyou chuckled, but the upward curve of his lips pulled at his swollen cheek, causing him to wince in pain.
