15: Chapter 15 Apologizes to Lin Xiao

Lin Yu's voice was too loud, and it still successfully attracted the attention of the people around.

The reporters quickly recognized the identities of Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei and keenly aimed their phone cameras at them.

"That looks like the Chairman and his wife from the Lin Group over there!"

"I wonder why they are here too!"

"Was that the young master of The Lin Family speaking just now? Could they also be involved in this murder case?"

"..."

For a moment, the surrounding crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Some bold reporters even walked forward, intending to conduct an interview right on the street.

At this moment, several police officers walked out from within the police cordon.

Leading them was Officer Zhang, who had been on the phone just a moment ago.

They first shooed the reporters aside, then looked at Lin Xiao with smiles on their faces.

"Lin Xiao, the case is solved! The murderer is exactly the person you described! My colleagues have already caught him!"

Officer Zhang was very happy.

A dismemberment case of this magnitude was considered a relatively major case for them.

It had also already been publicized by news reporters.

To avoid causing public panic, they had already prepared themselves mentally for pulling an all-nighter.

They never expected the case to be solved in less than an hour!

The most crucial factor was the clue provided by Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, our leadership will publicly commend you!"

Officer Zhang patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

After finishing, he also praised Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei nearby: "As expected of the major entrepreneurs in our city, you've raised such an outstanding child!"

"Heh, you're too kind, you're too kind."

Lin Qingshan's previous worry vanished, and his face became flushed with excitement.

He hadn't expected that on the third day after his biological son returned, he would bring such great honor to The Lin Family.

Once the news of the commendation is released, their company's stock will definitely see another small rise!

Before Officer Zhang left, he seemed to remember something and said to Lin Xiao: "By the way, in the future, it doesn't matter even if you see the murderer yourself. We will protect witnesses; there's no need to say a cat saw it."

"Alright."

Lin Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and helplessly agreed.

It seems that telling the truth these days isn't so easy after all.

After the police left, Lin Xiao looked at Lin Yu, who was about to leave, and feigned nonchalance as he said: "It seems someone had a deep misunderstanding of me just now."

Lin Yu's footsteps faltered, but he pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

"You're already such a grown person; you should take responsibility for your own words. You aren't planning on treating what you said like a fart, are you?"

Lin Xiao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and The Lin Family heard it clearly.

They were already dissatisfied with Lin Yu's performance just now, and seeing him act like nothing happened now made them frown in displeasure.

"Xiao Yu, is this how I taught you in the past?"

Lin Qingshan said with a straight face, speaking sternly.

"Dad, I didn't do it on purpose."

Lin Yu felt very unhappy inside, but he didn't dare to talk back recklessly.

Su Xiumei also wore a heavy expression.

She didn't understand whether the various behaviors Lin Yu had shown recently were because he wasn't used to Lin Xiao's arrival, or if it was just his nature that they hadn't discovered before.

"Aren't you going to apologize to A-Xiao yet?"

Lin Qingshan said coldly.

Lin Yu opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but seeing that Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei were both stern-faced, and even Lin Baixuan looked at him with a hint of disappointment, he had no choice but to lower his head.

"I'm sorry."

These three short words made Lin Yu feel as though his dignity was being trampled under Lin Xiao's feet.

It made the hatred in his heart grow even stronger.

He swore that he would definitely make Lin Xiao pay the price!

Seeing Lin Yu's defeated appearance, Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei felt a bit of pity in their hearts.

After all, they had twenty years of affection, and even though they had found Lin Xiao, they didn't intend to completely cut ties with Lin Yu.

They still hoped that Lin Yu could continue to live with them, and they also hoped that there could be genuine brotherly affection between Lin Yu and Lin Xiao.

When returning home, they deliberately arranged for Lin Xiao and Lin Yu to ride in the same car.

However, it was refused by Lin Xiao.

"Dad, Mom, I'd rather go back in Second Sister's car."

Lin Xiao said indifferently.

Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei felt that Lin Xiao had been wronged just now and might not be able to forgive Lin Yu for the time being, which was understandable, so they didn't insist further.

But who would have thought that just after walking two steps, they heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[I don't know what that guy Lin Yu ate, but he's been farting the whole way. I don't want to be in the same car as him; if I get sick from the stench, it would be so unjust!]

"..."

The Lin Couple paused, looked at each other, and a look of disgust appeared in their eyes.

"Um, your mother and I still have things to attend to at the company. Xiao Yu, you go back by yourself."

After saying this, the two of them didn't wait for Lin Yu's answer at all and got into the car, speeding away.

Lin Yu stood where he was, looking completely bewildered.

Lin Xiao had also long since climbed into Lin Baixuan's car and urged her to hurry up.

Lin Baixuan naturally heard Lin Xiao's inner voice as well and gave a helpless chuckle.

She had no intention whatsoever of taking Lin Yu with them and drove off as well.

Along the way, Lin Baixuan finally accepted a little bit the fact that she could hear Lin Xiao's inner voice.

The most important thing was that throughout the journey, Lin Xiao's inner voice was showering her with flattery.

One moment he was saying she was beautiful, and the next he was saying she had strong professional skills and kept her cool in a crisis.

Although he was a bit chatty and annoying, who wouldn't like being praised?

...

Returning home, the two of them saw a figure outside the Villa that surprised them.

Lin Chuge's fiancé, Young Master Bai Feng.

This eldest young master of the Bai family hadn't come to The Lin Family for the first time.

It was just that he had never come without saying hello like this before.

Seeing Lin Baixuan, Young Master Bai Feng immediately walked up to greet her.

"Little Sister Xuan, you've finally returned!"

Young Master Bai Feng and Lin Baixuan had met a few times, so he greeted her familiarly as soon as he came up.

Lin Baixuan seemed to dislike this form of address; she frowned and asked indifferently: "Why is Young Master Bai here?"

"I haven't been able to reach Lin Chuge, and I'm worried that something might have happened to her, so I just..."

Young Master Bai Feng took out his phone; the screen displayed many messages he had sent, none of which had received a response.

Lin Baixuan glanced at the time and asked in confusion: "Something happened at the overseas branch, and Eldest Sister flew there personally this morning to handle it. What? Did she not tell you?"

Hearing these words, Young Master Bai Feng's expression stiffened, and he shook his head awkwardly, "No."

At the same time, he was very confused internally; although his relationship with Lin Chuge wasn't exactly inseparable, there had always been a response to everything.

Every day during their free time, they would send messages to chat for a bit.

If there were any important arrangements, they would inform each other in advance.

Situations like this, where she went abroad directly without even saying hello, were a first.

Lin Baixuan also seemed to notice something amiss and politely explained: "Eldest Sister left in a hurry this time, so she might not have had a chance to tell you. When she returns, she will definitely tell you."

Before, when Lin Xiao was complaining about Young Master Bai Feng being a scumbag, Lin Baixuan wasn't at home, so she wasn't clear about the current situation between Lin Chuge and Young Master Bai Feng.

At this moment, a taxi stopped nearby.

Lin Yu had returned as well.

He also heard some of their conversation just now, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
