240: Chapter 240 Unimaginable Result

After calming down, Assistant Xiao sat directly next to Lin Xiao.

"Brother Lin Xiao, I want to ask you again. My ex-girlfriend has been raising our son alone for so long; if I go back to find her now, will she forgive me?"

"..."

Lin Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his fingers together.

"Alright, alright."

This time, Assistant Xiao was generous, handing over all his cash to Lin Xiao in one go.

He then opened his phone, kept only a month's worth of living expenses for himself, and transferred the rest of his savings to Lin Xiao.

After all, according to what Lin Xiao said, he was definitely a Rich Second Generation!

His family hadn't given up on him, so as long as he found his way back, he wouldn't have to live this miserable life anymore!

So, looking at the current situation, the hardest thing to deal with was the matter of his ex-girlfriend and son.

His son was a child star, and his ex-girlfriend wasn't short on money either.

Was he supposed to just offer a sincere heart and slide on his knees to apologize?

That didn't seem very realistic.

"Your situation, well, it's complicated if you say it's complicated, and simple if you say it's simple..."

Lin Xiao started helping him brainstorm.

Assistant Xiao listened attentively while peeling a tea egg for Lin Xiao.

When it came to matters of the heart, Lin Xiao naturally had no experience.

But since the atmosphere had been set, he decided to give it a try.

Su Yu leaned silently against the bedside, watching the two of them—one daring to speak and the other daring to listen—and sighed that the world had truly gone mad.

However, there was still a more serious problem at the moment.

Who still remembered that she was still tied up?

...

Lin Xiao and Assistant Xiao had eaten and drunk their fill when they suddenly heard a "thud" behind them.

Turning around, they saw that Su Yu had fallen off the bed at some point.

"Ah, Sister Su!" Assistant Xiao finally reacted and rushed forward to help her up.

Lin Xiao panicked too. How could he have forgotten that his third sister was still tied up?

"No, Third Sister, why didn't you call out to me?"

"I just wanted to see when the two of you would remember me!"

Su Yu looked resentful.

She first looked at Assistant Xiao and said indifferently: "You, your salary will be deducted by the minute! One hundred per minute!"

Then she turned to Lin Xiao: "You, your compensation will be deducted by the minute! Ten thousand per minute!"

Why the double standard?

Lin Xiao wanted to complain, but thinking that he was the one who had tied up his third sister, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

But his third sister was really too temperamental; she hadn't made a sound just to deduct money from them.

After being untied, Su Yu still didn't move.

"Sister, stop sulking. There's breakfast over there; eat something."

"My legs are numb."

Su Yu shot him a cold glare.

Lin Xiao smiled sheepishly: "Then, let me massage them for you."

After saying this, he gently squeezed Su Yu's lower legs, trying to help her relax.

Finally, Su Yu's legs could move. But as soon as she stood up, she collapsed again.

This time, she had actually fainted!

"Sister?" "Sister Su!" Lin Xiao and Assistant Xiao were terrified.

Lin Xiao carried Su Yu on his back and ran outside.

Fortunately, there was a Hospital at the next intersection, so they carried Su Yu directly to the emergency room.

After an examination, the doctor said Su Yu had fainted due to low blood sugar.

After being put on a glucose drip, she slowly regained consciousness.

"Sister, I was wrong. I'll give you all the compensation for this time!"

Lin Xiao's apology was very sincere.

He really hadn't known before that Su Yu had low blood sugar, and this time it was indeed his oversight.

Su Yu waved her hand weakly; she no longer had the energy to argue with Lin Xiao about anything.

Just at this moment, Assistant Xiao arrived at the Hospital room with Ms. Zhao.

"Lawyer Su, what happened to you!"

Seeing Su Yu lying on the Hospital bed with a pale face, Ms. Zhao was full of worry: "It must be because you've been exhausted from working on my case lately. Seeing you like this makes me feel so guilty!"

Lin Xiao silently retreated to the side. Since someone was taking the blame, he wouldn't interfere.

Ms. Zhao grabbed Su Yu's hand and said earnestly: "Lawyer Su, you are truly the most dedicated lawyer I have ever met. I promise you, if we can find my daughter's body, I will double your fee!"

This caused Su Yu to swallow back the words she had originally intended to explain.

But unexpectedly, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up: "You won't find it. You won't find it for the rest of your life."

"What did you say?" The Hospital room was small, and Ms. Zhao heard Lin Xiao's words clearly.

She looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, a hint of anger already appearing on her face.

Su Yu hadn't expected Lin Xiao to suddenly say this either, and she quickly stopped him: "A-Xiao, don't talk nonsense."

Ms. Zhao asked while suppressing her anger: "Lawyer Su, what does your brother mean by this? Is he cursing me?"

"How could that be? My brother has some skills in Fortune Telling; he must have his reasons for saying that."

As she spoke, Su Yu kept signaling to Lin Xiao, indicating that he should finish whatever he had to say.

Don't say half and leave half like this; it's agonizing for people.

Lin Xiao walked to a chair nearby and sat down, saying indifferently: "I am not cursing you. When I said you won't find it, it really means you won't find it."

Hearing this, Ms. Zhao seemed to think of something. Her lips trembled as she asked with a shaky voice: "Could it be, could it be that she has already been disposed of? Was she melted by concentrated sulfuric acid, or, or was she dismembered and eaten..."

Heaven knows how many terrifying images flashed through her mind when she said those words.

That was her daughter!

It had taken her so long to finally accept the fact of her daughter's death, but now she was being told that her daughter hadn't even left behind a body.

How could she accept this?

Su Yu also frowned slightly.

She had been in the profession for so many years and had seen many cases, both big and small.

But such a heinous incident was also very rare.

"A-Xiao, what exactly is going on?" Su Yu asked with a grave expression.

Actually, Lin Xiao wanted to say it all in one breath, but this matter was indeed a bit too bizarre.

He was still organizing his words, thinking about how to phrase it so they would be easier to accept.

But after thinking it over, there didn't seem to be any good way.

With no other choice, he spoke directly.

"She traveled through time."

"..." There was a silence of several dozen seconds in the Hospital room.

As expected, being too direct was hard for people to accept.

Lin Xiao sighed softly and explained patiently: "At that time, after your ex-boyfriend injured your daughter, he thought she was already dead, so he tied her to a stone and threw her into the river, attempting to make sure the body would never be found. However, unexpectedly, your daughter was only unconscious at the time and traveled directly to ancient times... Oh, it was a physical travel, not a soul travel."

Silence still reigned. This kind of thing was too advanced for the people present.

Especially for Assistant Xiao and Ms. Zhao, it was hard to digest for a while.

Only Su Yu didn't react as strongly.

After all, their whole family had already experienced things like overhearing inner thoughts, so what else could they not accept?

It's just time travel, right? It's not impossible!
