237: Chapter 237 Okay, let's find the corpse.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao saw Zhang Xiaofu's gloating face.

"Hey, Brother Lin, go ahead with peace of mind! Thank you for saving me from this sea of misery; I'll live it up for you!"

Zhang Xiaofu said with a punchable expression.

Lin Xiao ignored him and picked up his phone again to call Principal Wei.

"Hello, Principal Wei, Zhang Xiaofu insists on continuing military training no matter what. Please let him go back."

"..."

Zhang Xiaofu's smile froze on his face. He opened his mouth in shock, unable to utter a word for a long time.

It wasn't until Lin Xiao put down the phone that he asked in disbelief, "Brother Lin, are you really making me go back?"

"Yeah, Principal Wei said that your instructor also happens to want you back, saying you're a rare talent for training."

Lin Xiao picked up his water cup and took a leisurely sip.

Then he stood up and walked outside.

Just before leaving, he didn't forget to remind him, "By the way, I kindly asked for a half-day leave for you, so you can rest for another half day and just go back tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xiaofu slumped into his chair.

He wished he could slap himself twice!

...

Lin Xiao arrived in S City around dusk.

Following the location Su Yu sent, he arrived at a high-end restaurant.

In the private room, he met Su Yu and her client.

"Lawyer Su, is this your younger brother?"

The client was a noblewoman in her forties named Ms. Zhao.

She was wearing a tasteful Chanel custom suit and carrying an Hermès bag.

Because she was well-maintained, she looked like she was only in her thirties.

Perhaps because she hadn't rested well recently, there was a hint of fatigue on her delicately made-up face.

Su Yu nodded, "My younger brother is quite good at finding people. You can explain the situation to him again."

Lin Xiao greeted her politely on the surface, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes internally.

Third Sister really dares to say anything!

Quite good at finding people?

It's clearly finding corpses!

Isn't she afraid of scaring Ms. Zhao?

But soon, he understood the reason.

The person Ms. Zhao wanted to find was her daughter, and during the time her daughter had been missing, she had suspected more than once that her daughter had been murdered.

Now her request was simple: regardless of whether her daughter was still alive or not, she wanted to find her.

She wanted to see the person if alive, and the corpse if dead.

"But, Third Sister, aren't you a lawyer? Wouldn't it be better to leave this job of finding people to the police?"

Lin Xiao asked doubtfully.

"Usually, that's the case, but Ms. Zhao's case is quite special; she already has a suspect."

Su Yu explained.

Lin Xiao looked at Ms. Zhao, still a bit confused.

Since there was a suspect, wouldn't it be better to just let the police investigate?

Ms. Zhao sighed softly and said helplessly, "I am almost certain that my daughter has been murdered by my boyfriend, but I keep wanting to hold onto a glimmer of hope..."

Su Yu added from the side, "The murder committed by Ms. Zhao's boyfriend has basically been confirmed, but he has consistently denied destroying the corpse and refuses to disclose the location of the body."

Oh well, after going around in such a big circle, it turns out it's still about finding a corpse!

Lin Xiao held his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"Ms. Zhao asked me to come because she originally wanted me to help find evidence, but now that some evidence of the murder has been found, it's stuck on this corpse."

Su Yu said, handing him a folder.

Lin Xiao took it and flipped through it casually.

Anyway, these investigation clues were of little use to him; he was just looking at them symbolically.

Su Yu said indifferently, "A-Xiao, because your reputation has become quite big recently, we had to ask for your help."

Ms. Zhao also quickly added, "After the matter is accomplished, there will definitely be a generous reward!"

A generous reward...

Hearing this, Lin Xiao slowly sat up straight.

Although he was truly being treated as a corpse-searching dog, considering this "generous reward," this favor wasn't impossible to do.

Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Su Yu knew he was wavering.

She then increased the stakes, "As long as you are willing to help, I will make our parents give up the idea of forcing you to exercise when I get back."

"It's a deal!"

Lin Xiao was just worrying about that.

Although he had avoided military training, things might go wrong and his parents might come up with other things.

If Third Sister could mediate, it would be easier to dispel their ideas.

The matter was settled!

Ms. Zhao was also very happy and immediately called the waiter to order dishes.

She told Lin Xiao to order whatever he wanted to eat.

Lin Xiao had been hungry for most of the day, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

"It's too late today, I need to get some good rest, and I'll start helping you look tomorrow."

"Okay."

Ms. Zhao wasn't in a rush for this very moment.

She trusted Su Yu, so she trusted Lin Xiao.

After dinner, Ms. Zhao went home first.

Su Yu took Lin Xiao to the Hotel front desk to book a room.

"I'm sorry, the Hotel is fully booked today, and there are no vacant rooms left."

The receptionist said with an apologetic face.

Lin Xiao looked at Su Yu helplessly, "Third Sister, what should we do?"

"Let's make do in my room for the night."

Su Yu was also very helpless.

But since there were no other Hotels nearby, and she was the one who asked Lin Xiao to help, she couldn't let him sleep on the street.

Lin Xiao didn't mind; anyway, the room Su Yu booked should be big enough.

Just like that, he followed Su Yu upstairs.

But unexpectedly, the room Su Yu booked this time was not a suite, but an ordinary room.

After being nearly attacked by criminals ambushed in her room last time, she had learned her lesson.

In order to avoid being ambushed again, she would rather stay in a smaller place and live in a room where she could see everything as soon as she opened the door.

So that those who wanted to harm her would have nowhere to hide.

But this resulted in Lin Xiao and her being squeezed into this one room, which felt a bit awkward.

Lin Xiao was self-aware and lay down on the large sofa on his own.

Although it wasn't as comfortable as the bed, it wasn't unbearable either.

He had military training at school during the day and traveled by car in the afternoon.

Now that he finally lay down, he felt sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.

In a daze, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

This made him feel a bit thirsty.

"Sister, is there any water?"

He asked, squinting his eyes.

But he didn't get an answer for a long time.

He had to struggle to climb up from the sofa, intending to pour himself a glass of water.

Just as he walked to the table, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Immediately after, Su Yu walked out wearing a nightgown.

Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and the tips were still wet.

The makeup on her face had been completely washed off, revealing her naturally fair skin.

Compared to the seriousness of her usual lawyer attire, she now had a touch of temperament that was a mix of purity and charm.

This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen Third Sister in this state, so he subconsciously took a few extra looks.
