256: Chapter 256 Where's the promised windfall?

The explosion situation here was quite serious. Because it was in the mountains, it took quite a while for The Police and the ambulance to arrive after the report was made.

After an inspection, The Police were basically able to confirm that the exploded items were grenades from the War of Resistance period.

As for why they were digging holes out of nowhere and accidentally unearthed the grenades, the truth was revealed after a brief investigation.

However, except for the victim Lin Xiao, the others involved were either dead or injured.

As The Police, they naturally couldn't just listen to Lin Xiao's side of the story. To investigate the truth, they would have to wait until the injured people regained consciousness.

Lin Xiao returned to the house and saw that Xiao Yuan's eyes were red.

"Daddy, I'm sorry. They asked me to play hide-and-seek, so I hid. I caused you to get hurt."

Xiao Yuan pouted, her face full of guilt.

Lin Xiao glanced at his arm; it was just a scrape. If Xiao Yuan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even remembered it.

Su Yu walked over carrying a medical kit and bandaged Lin Xiao herself.

Looking at his arm, which was gradually being wrapped like a mummy, Lin Xiao reminded her, "Sis, isn't this a bit... unbreathable?"

Su Yu said seriously, "You still need to be careful. There are a lot of mosquitoes and bugs here. If it gets infected, you might need an amputation!"

"..."

Lin Xiao had no choice but to let Su Yu do as she pleased. The final result was that his arm had basically lost the ability to move. Whether it was eating or getting dressed, everything became somewhat difficult.

Su Yu was very attentive. When it was time to eat, she fed Lin Xiao by hand. When he needed to get something, she helped him immediately. Even when Lin Xiao was sleeping, she had to watch over him, afraid that something else might happen to him.

"Uh, Sis, there's really no need for this."

Lin Xiao really couldn't stand it. But Su Yu just said indifferently, "I'm the only one who came with you this time. If something happens to you, the family will blame me... You know how they are; I can't afford that."

That was what she said, but in reality, she was truly concerned about Lin Xiao. It was the concern of a sister for her brother, a concern born of family affection, not at all because she was afraid of being blamed by the family.

Lin Xiao could actually guess some of this in his heart. However, the current situation was indeed a bit...

"No, Sis, you don't need to follow me to the bathroom, right?"

Lin Xiao was very helpless. He had been worried that Su Yu would follow him everywhere, so he had been holding it in until now; he really couldn't hold it anymore. Unexpectedly, when he walked into the bathroom, Su Yu followed him in as if it were only natural.

"You only have one hand, it's inconvenient."

Su Yu didn't seem to notice anything wrong at all. She reached out to help undo Lin Xiao's pants.

This gave Lin Xiao a fright, and he quickly dodged, "That's not appropriate, really not appropriate!"

"I'm your sister, what's the big deal?"

Su Yu was very "unconventional" at times like this.

But this time, Lin Xiao's attitude was very firm; he refused no matter what, preferring to pee his pants!

Seeing this, Su Yu had no choice but to give up. "Alright then, you do it yourself." In her tone, there seemed to be a hint of slight regret.

...

The Lin family was very well-informed and quickly learned about the explosion at the filming site. That afternoon, they sent another helicopter.

This time, they sent a batch of robot dogs. These robot dogs were all equipped with mine-clearing systems and could search the woods on a large scale. As long as they encountered dangerous items, they would sound an alarm. After evacuating the crowd, they would attempt to clear them.

Lin Xiao was very shocked to see these robot dogs were so intelligent. He asked in a low voice, "Sis, these are military robots..."

"Mm, to be precise, the initial development was done by our family, and later they were requisitioned," Su Yu said indifferently.

"The family actually researches this?" Lin Xiao was very surprised. He had seen some news about these robots before. He didn't expect that he would end up stumbling upon drama involving his own family.

It was all because Lin Chuge only let him look at content related to real estate and other business aspects before, and didn't let him participate in the R&D projects of the technology subsidiaries. This was clearly more interesting!

Under the inspection of the robot dogs, they actually found two unexploded landmines. Fortunately, these landmines had been buried in the ground for too long, and the critical trigger parts had rusted. After some handling by the robot dogs, they completely lost the possibility of exploding.

When the mine-clearing personnel sent by The Police arrived at the scene, they saw these robot dogs packing up the cleared landmines and returning. They didn't expect that their work had been finished by someone else first!

And the ones who stole their work were these machines that were still in the R&D stage! However, they soon found out who these machines were working for. Looking at the Young Master of the Lin Family leisurely sunbathing, they could only sigh, "Being rich is just too overbearing!"

...

In the following days, Lin Xiao continued to live a vacation life. But seeing that Xiao Yuan was about to finish filming and wrap up, he started to get anxious. Where was the money the system mentioned? Where was the windfall? Why was there absolutely nothing? Did the system make a mistake?

He was very anxious, but he didn't know where to start. He just lay on the lounge chair, silently staring at the sky in a daze.

Su Yu returned from outside and saw Lin Xiao in this disconsolate state. This made her look up at the sky as well, wanting to know what exactly Lin Xiao was looking at.

Before long, some Villagers passed by, saw the two siblings, and curiously looked up at the sky as well. Just like that, it spread from one to another. Outside the small courtyard where Lin Xiao lived, many people were standing and looking up at the sky.

Finally, someone couldn't help it. "Um, what are you looking at?" "Yeah, what are you looking at?" "I don't know, I was just looking because they were." "Eh? I was just looking because they were too." "..."

Just like that, the question was passed back to Lin Xiao one by one. Lin Xiao sighed heavily, "Me? I'm waiting for money to fall from the sky!"

"..." When the surrounding people heard this, they were instantly speechless. They gave him a look of disdain and went back to their own business.

Only Su Yu remained sitting beside Lin Xiao, looking hesitant. She remembered that when they arrived, Lin Xiao's inner voice had indeed said that there would be a windfall this time. But seeing that the filming was nearing its end, and tonight was their last night in this village—they were leaving tomorrow—could it be that Lin Xiao had miscalculated?

Looking at Lin Xiao's disconsolate appearance, she couldn't bear it. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone. "A-Xiao, how about I transfer you some money?"
