210: Chapter 210 Lin Yu is going to be in trouble

"No, that's not what I meant. Lin Xiao, you motherfucker, you did this on purpose!"

Lin Yu couldn't explain himself at all.

In a fit of impotent rage, he lunged at Lin Xiao, intending to strike him directly.

But with the police present, how could they possibly allow such a thing to happen?

Almost as soon as Lin Yu took a step, he was restrained by the police nearby.

This violent display only aroused the suspicion of Officer Zhang.

Before long, the officer in charge of investigating the pit ran up and whispered a few words in Officer Zhang's ear.

Hearing that over twenty bodies had been unearthed so far, with an estimated many more still below, Officer Zhang's expression grew even more grave.

If they were all unnatural deaths involving murder, it would likely be the biggest murder case in years.

Turning his head, he saw the innocent-looking Lin Xiao on one side and the furious Lin Yu on the other.

Officer Zhang felt an even worse headache coming on.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Take everyone present today back to the station!"

...

At the police station, Lin Xiao sat in the interrogation room, leisurely drinking tea.

Based on Officer Zhang's understanding of Lin Xiao, he naturally knew that Lin Xiao couldn't be the killer.

However, considering that Lin Xiao had helped them solve quite a few cases in the past, he wanted to see if he could provide any clues this time.

However, he did not.

This time, Lin Xiao was only concerned with drinking tea and eating the snacks Officer Zhang had brought him.

Aside from recounting the situation that occurred in detail, he didn't say anything else.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk.

Perhaps because the incidents involving these bodies were too numerous, the gossip system had crashed.

Anyway, it didn't have much to do with him at the moment, so he couldn't be bothered to worry about it.

He simply let the system give up on searching for clues and just quietly acted as a normal witness reporting a crime.

A moment later, the door to the interrogation room opened.

"A-Xiao!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's leisurely appearance, Su Yu's eye twitched slightly.

Just hearing that Lin Xiao was involved in another homicide case, she had almost immediately dropped her work and rushed over.

If she had known this guy treated the police station like his own home, she wouldn't have been so worried!

"Third Sister? Why are you here?"

Lin Xiao looked up in confusion.

"To take you home, of course! What else would I be doing?"

Su Yu glared at Lin Xiao, annoyed, and waved her hand impatiently, "Let's go, do you actually want to spend the night here?"

"Heh, let's go, we're going."

Lin Xiao trotted out and said apologetically to Officer Zhang, "Sorry, Officer Zhang, I couldn't help you guys this time."

"It's fine, just go."

Officer Zhang said with a dark face, waving his hand dismissively.

Mrs. Qiu had been waiting at the entrance of the police station for a long time; seeing Lin Xiao come out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"A-Xiao, thank goodness you're alright."

"Don't worry, Qiu Corporation didn't participate in this bidding at all, so it shouldn't be affected."

Lin Xiao comforted her, thinking Mrs. Qiu was still worried about whether Qiu Corporation would be implicated.

Mrs. Qiu looked relieved, "Qiu Corporation escaped a disaster, thanks to you! But..."

Saying this, she looked around and lowered her voice, "The Jin Family contacted me just now."

"Oh? What do they want?"

Lin Xiao was puzzled.

"They want to transfer this piece of land to us at a low price!"

Mrs. Qiu chuckled, "How ridiculous. I'm not a fool; how could I possibly take on such a hot potato at a time like this... But you need to be careful, I'm afraid they might come looking for trouble with you! Especially that Lin Yu; he's truly completely unreasonable."

"Alright, I understand."

Lin Xiao nodded silently.

"[What a joke, Lin Yu still wants to cause trouble for me?]"

"[He should worry about surviving the night first.]"

Su Yu and Mrs. Qiu were both surprised to hear Lin Xiao's inner thoughts.

Lin Yu had caused such a huge mess, so The Jin Family really should teach him a lesson.

But he was a child of The Jin Family, after all; surely it wouldn't go as far as killing him, right?

...

The Jin Family residence.

The living room was already in a complete mess.

Lin Yu stood in the middle of the living room, head bowed, not daring to breathe a word.

Madam Jin sat on the sofa, her face looking extremely grim.

And her husband, Jin Ming, picked up an antique vase from nearby and threw it hard at Lin Yu, as if it cost nothing.

"You bastard! Is this the project you guaranteed us would have no problems?"

"Causing such a huge commotion! How are we supposed to explain this to your grandfather?"

"..."

Mentioning Old Master Jin, Lin Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck.

In his impression, Old Master Jin was a gloomy and eccentric old man.

Even at his advanced age, he was still ruthless in his actions.

Even towards his own family, he showed no mercy.

In that chaotic era of the past, Old Master Jin relied on his ruthlessness to build the early Jin Corporation.

And he used those completely emotionless methods to develop The Jin Family.

Lin Yu dared not imagine how Old Master Jin would punish him if he found out he had messed things up again.

"Dad, Mom, Grandfather is abroad for retirement; we shouldn't disturb him for such a small matter, right?"

Lin Yu said tremblingly.

Madam Jin spoke gloomily, "Do you think we want to tell your grandfather? Your grandfather has eyes and ears all over The Jin Family; how could we possibly hide it from him?"

Lin Yu clenched his fists and said unconvinced, "Isn't it just a bit of money? In Grandfather's heart, is money really more important than family?"

"You don't know jack shit!"

Jin Ming glared at Lin Yu in anger, wanting to throw something else.

But he realized there was nothing intact left nearby, so he had to give up helplessly.

As Lin Yu spoke, he seemed to regain some confidence.

He stiffened his neck and insisted, "Did I say anything wrong? I am the only heir to The Jin Family now! At most, Grandfather will scold me a few times. If he really pushes me too far, I—I'd like to see where else he can find a grandson!"

"..."

The couple from Jin Corporation were almost amused by Lin Yu's logic.

"Heh, no matter what you think, the money of The Jin Family will be mine in the future! What does this little bit of money count for!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned and left directly.

This time, he intended to play the "running away from home" act again.

He didn't believe that The Jin Family could really lose him as their heir!

Clearly, he didn't know that he was just a stand-in for The Jin Family, and a stand-in that had almost lost its usefulness at that.
