193: Chapter 193 Let's Keep Making Trouble
As the crowd of onlookers grew, the adoptive parents cried even more heart-rendingly.
It terrified Lin Wanwan, who had just returned from school.
"Mom, Dad, Sister, A-Xiao, what is going on here?"
Lin Wanwan ran over carefully, passing the middle-aged couple kneeling on the ground, her face full of worry.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. We'll handle this here, you should go back first."
Su Xiumei gently patted Lin Wanwan's arm, soothing her in a soft voice.
The shamelessness of Lin Xiao's adoptive parents refreshed their perception, and it truly touched a sore spot for them.
As a prestigious family in the capital, they valued decorum above all else when out in public.
Dealing with such shameless people was a dilemma; they couldn't ignore them, but they couldn't engage them either.
If they ignored them, these people would stick to them like a plaster.
But if they actually engaged, it would force them down to the same level.
It was absolutely disgusting.
If this were in the past, Lin Chuge would definitely have taken some underhanded measures.
But the current situation was more complicated.
Knowing full well that Lin Yu and the Jin Family were behind this, they were perhaps just waiting for her to use such methods.
If she were caught doing so, it would be even more troublesome.
Unexpectedly, just as they were worrying about how to deal with this unreasonable couple, Lin Xiao actually brought out a chair himself.
He sat down straight in front of his adoptive parents.
Parents kneeling before a child was simply rebellious and unfilial!
The surrounding crowd immediately began to whisper and discuss.
Lin Xiao ignored the gazes of others, sat down leisurely, picked up his phone, and calmly called the police.
"Hello, I have some people here causing trouble. I suspect they have mental health issues and may be aggressive."
"Yes, yes, my location is..."
Seeing Lin Xiao call the police without a second thought, the adoptive parents' expressions stiffened.
But soon, they began shouting and making a scene again.
They pulled out their phones and started a live stream.
Lin Xiao leaned over to take a look, then picked up his phone and fiddled with it.
"I've bought a data package for you; consider it a gesture of filial piety."
"..."
The adoptive parents were dumbfounded.
Watching the number of viewers on the Live Stream Channel steadily climbing, they suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
Why was the development of events completely different from what they had imagined?
Lin Xiao seemed to see through their confusion and patiently explained: "You should know that spreading rumors is against the law. However, there are too few onlookers here. As for the online live stream, you're too stingy to buy an account with many followers, so I'll give you a hand. I'll strive to help you break through five thousand viewers quickly, so that the Officer can open a case as soon as possible."
Hearing these words, the adoptive parents' expressions turned ugly.
They looked at each other, both seeing hesitation in the other's eyes.
"What? Scared? It's not too late to regret it now. As long as you clarify everything in public and tell the truth, I can still let you off the hook!"
Lin Xiao leaned back in the chair and crossed his legs.
The adoptive parents were indeed scared.
But things had come to this point; if they backed out now, they were afraid they wouldn't get anything at all.
Thinking of the deposit Lin Yu had given them and the promised final payment.
No matter what, for the sake of the money, they had to keep making a scene!
"What's there to be afraid of! A-Xiao, look at what you've become?"
"That's right, even if we aren't your biological parents, we still raised you for twenty years. Is this how you treat us?"
"A-Xiao, you weren't like this before!"
The adoptive mother said this last sentence with genuine sincerity.
This was also their true inner thought.
When Lin Xiao was in their home before, he had been timid and submissive from childhood.
If they told him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west.
Every day, for meals, feeding the chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, he did all the dirty and tiring work without a single word of complaint.
Facing the various beatings and scoldings from their foolish daughter, he wouldn't even dare to let out a peep.
Running away from home later must have been the bravest thing he had done in those twenty years.
This was also the reason why they hadn't come out to look for him all this time.
In their view, with Lin Xiao's soft and cowardly nature, he would sooner or later return obediently on his own.
If it hadn't been for the entertainment news and Lin Yu coming to them, they would probably still think that way now.
But the Lin Xiao in front of them now seemed like a completely different person.
The former cowardice was completely gone, and the chill flashing in his eyes even made them feel very uneasy.
However, they wouldn't think of anything like soul transmigration or possession.
In their view, Lin Xiao had only become like this because he had latched onto a wealthy family.
Therefore, they firmly believed that as long as they made a scene for a while longer, Lin Xiao would definitely compromise just like before!
"You really are people who won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Lin Xiao sneered and waved his hand behind him.
Soon, the servants walked out carrying two stands.
"Young Master, this is what you wanted."
"Mm, just set it up here."
Lin Xiao pointed to the open space nearby and said indifferently, "Since you want to make a big scene, then I will grant your wish."
He had already made up his mind; rather than continuing to drag this out, it was better to directly eliminate the hidden danger.
The Lin Family looked at the busy servants in confusion.
They saw them set up the stands and hang a large projector screen on them.
Then they brought over a laptop and respectfully handed it to Lin Xiao.
This setup was just like showing a movie in the village square at night.
Only this time, they were going to show something special.
Lin Xiao turned his hand over, and a strangely shaped USB drive appeared in his palm.
He plugged the flash drive into the computer and made some simple adjustments.
Before long, images began to appear on the screen.
At first, no one knew what Lin Xiao was planning to do.
But when they saw the people appearing on the screen, their expressions immediately changed.
Especially the adoptive parents.
Their already ugly complexions turned even paler.
Because this was actually a video of them abusing Lin Xiao over the years!
