**Chapter 243: How Is This Possible?**
If Zhao Ling's loved ones had extensive family connections, he might have assumed that any retaliation against them was due to personal enmity. Others would simply conclude that their families had made enemies, leading to their misfortunes.
But the reality was quite different. With so few family members, all of whom were closely linked to Zhao Ling, the situation was uniquely awkward and revealing.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had struggled to track down the relatives of the five women. The easiest target was Long'er, given her blood ties to the family. A deeper investigation would inevitably uncover her relationship with them.
Now that Zhao Ling had eliminated the four stalkers, this line of inquiry was cut off. However, once the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family discovered their deaths, they would likely search the surrounding area intensively.
If Yu Luomian, Long'er's father, realized the incident occurred near the hospital where his daughter stayed, he would likely connect the dots. The question was how he would respond.
Would Yu Luomian reveal the truth to his family for the sake of justice, or would he turn a blind eye to protect his daughter?
Zhao Ling couldn't predict Yu Luomian's decision, nor did he care much. If Yu Luomian chose to sever ties with Long'er, Zhao Ling wouldn't hesitate to eliminate his father-in-law. Conversely, if Yu Luomian valued his relationship with Long'er, Zhao Ling might help him break free from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's control.
Upon returning to the mansion with the four women, Zhao Ling was greeted by Tang Wutong, who glared at them, her cheeks puffed in displeasure.
"Mom, Grandma, and Grandma Erlong," she began, scolding them, "you're all so sneaky! You abandoned me at home while you ran away? How could you do this to me?"
Tang Wutong's accusations grew sharper, especially toward her mother.
"Mom, you're supposed to be a role model for me, but you let your daughter face everything alone while you ran off! Grandma, how could you join them? Don't you care about your poor, innocent granddaughter being left behind?"
The four women—Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, Ah Rou, and Liu Erlong—avoided Tang Wutong's fiery gaze, unable to defend themselves.
Zhao Ling, observing the scene with a smirk, only added to their discomfort.
After Tang Wutong had vented her frustrations, she turned to Zhao Ling with a mischievous look.
"Hubby, Mom and Grandma ignored you and bullied me. Aren't you going to punish them? Or are you too scared?"
"Scared? Me?" Zhao Ling's lips curled into a confident smile. "Don't worry. I'll punish them—but not right now."
With that, Zhao Ling retrieved three hummingbird props and fifteen mid-grade spirit stones from his storage space. The women watched curiously as he fed the spirit stones to the hummingbirds. The stones disintegrated into ashes as their energy was absorbed, causing the hummingbird props to grow.
In mere seconds, the hummingbirds transformed into massive mechanical birds with wingspans of seven to eight meters. Under Zhao Ling's control, they rose into the air and flew toward the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's territory.
Liu Erlong hesitantly asked, "Husband, what are those birds going to do?"
Zhao Ling's expression darkened. "Long'er, those people dared to spy on you and your sisters. Don't you think they should be dealt with?"
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. "Absolutely. They've never treated me as family. In fact, if it weren't for their selfishness and my father's neglect, my mother wouldn't have died so young. If you can, help me teach them a lesson they'll never forget!"
"Consider it done," Zhao Ling replied with a sinister grin.
Despite her excitement, Liu Erlong couldn't fathom how the three giant birds could accomplish such a feat. They didn't seem particularly powerful.
Sensing her doubts, Zhao Ling smirked. "Don't underestimate me. Just watch."
Liu Erlong tilted her head, still puzzled, while the others remained skeptical.
Meanwhile, at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's dungeon, Yu Yuanzhen was in the middle of an argument with his son, Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao Gang, whether you agree or not, I am your father, and you will do as I say!" Yu Yuanzhen declared imperiously.
"Father," Yu Xiaogang retorted, shaking his head vehemently, "I told you, I won't agree! My brother and sister-in-law love each other deeply. Even though my brother has lost his sanity, my sister-in-law still cares for him.
"Suggesting that I have a child with her to continue the family line is outrageous! Besides… I'm not even capable of doing that anymore."
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled with frustration. His father's proposal was absurd. How could such a thing ever be possible?
