305: Chapter 305 Should we take them down?
It was true that Lin Xiao was not holding a grudge against Zhang Xiaofu.
It was not just for the sake of money, but also for the sake of their relationship.
Zhang Xiaofu was just foolish, not bad.
The truly worst people were the Huang Family.
He had already given them a chance, but since they didn't cherish it and insisted on making him some Matrilocal Son-in-law.
Then they could just wait to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
...
That night, the four of them, including Lin Xiao, were detained at the Huang Family.
The Huang Family treated them like prisoners and locked them in a dark warehouse.
And they didn't even give them anything to eat all day!
This made Zhang Xiaofu terribly uncomfortable.
"If I had known that the boxed meal last night was the last one, I should have asked for a few more!"
"Are they not going to let us go?"
"That old guy is so overbearing, will he keep all of us here to be his daughter's forced husbands?"
"..."
Zhang Xiaofu's muttering made the others incredibly annoyed.
Yang Yong couldn't take it anymore, found a piece of wire, ran to the small window by the wall, and vigorously filed the iron bars on it.
Qian Ling hadn't rested well last night, and after a whole day of turmoil today, she fell asleep leaning in the corner.
Lin Xiao was walking around the warehouse, occasionally opening those old boxes and looking through them casually.
Finally, Zhang Xiaofu's mouth was dry from muttering, and he gradually stopped.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was completely unhurried, Zhang Xiaofu thought about Lin Xiao's various unexpected actions in the past.
He leaned forward and whispered, "Brother Lin, tell me honestly, do you have a way to get out?"
"No."
Lin Xiao answered honestly.
Zhang Xiaofu didn't believe it, "No, that's not right, Brother Lin, how can you have no way? Are you really going to stay here and be a Matrilocal Son-in-law for that old guy?"
Lin Xiao was casually fiddling with a trinket in a cardboard box and said with a smile, "The Huang Family isn't that bad, after all, they do have some family property! Tsk tsk tsk... What if all that money becomes mine in the future..."
"Brother Lin! You must have burned your brain silly from a fever!"
Zhang Xiaofu couldn't believe it, raised his hand to touch Lin Xiao's forehead, and said earnestly, "Even if you really marry into their family, you will still be considered inferior. How could they possibly give you all their property? Or is it..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaofu seemed to suddenly think of something.
He carefully looked toward the door, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother Lin, do you want to get rid of the Huang Family after the wedding and inherit their estate?"
Zhang Xiaofu's voice wasn't loud, but because the warehouse space was limited, Yang Yong heard it clearly.
Yang Yong also walked over quickly, his eyes shining with excitement, "Lin Xiao, I knew you wouldn't just sit and wait for capture! As expected, you were holding back a big move here! Tell me quickly, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to stage a perfect crime? I believe you can definitely do it!"
Lin Xiao was truly impressed by these two people's ability to overthink.
He shook his head helplessly, "Sigh, you guys really... Forget it, you'll know tomorrow!"
After finishing, he found a corner and leaned against it to sleep.
Zhang Xiaofu and Yang Yong were still in a state of excitement.
"Xiao Fu, did you hear that? Lin Xiao said we'll know tomorrow, which means he plans to make a move tomorrow?"
"Damn, wouldn't that be too rushed!"
"Killing someone at a wedding is indeed too difficult."
"Uh, will people really die tomorrow?"
"Indeed, thinking about the whole Huang Family dying suddenly within a day, it's not easy to cover up."
"..."
The two people's thinking quickly expanded without bounds.
Their dissatisfaction with the Huang Family in their hearts was constantly clashing with their long-held reverence for life.
They wanted Lin Xiao to teach the Huang Family a harsh lesson, but they also felt that wiping out a whole family was too cruel.
Just like that, they stayed up until morning.
As soon as the sky was barely bright, the warehouse door was opened.
Lin Xiao was taken to a room, where someone had already prepared a wedding outfit.
It just so happened that Lin Xiao's original clothes had been dirtied in the warehouse last night.
When he appeared in the auditorium wearing the new outfit, he discovered that Zhang Xiaofu and the other two were actually tied to the chairs in the front row.
Among them, Zhang Xiaofu's mouth was taped shut, and he could only make "woo woo" sounds.
And behind each of them stood a bodyguard.
Father Huang walked out slowly and said with a smile, "On such an important day, your friends must be present! Don't you think about running, otherwise even if you can go back, they won't have their lives to go back!"
Lin Xiao looked around.
Looking at the decoration of the auditorium, various ribbons and flowers, a smile appeared on his face, "I say, you really did set up the wedding venue? You really went all out."
"What do you mean by that?"
Father Huang asked guardedly.
"Nothing, I just think you're quite dedicated! As a kidnapper, you could have just locked me up and asked my family for money, but you actually held a wedding. Tsk tsk tsk, is this what they call 'doing the whole act'?"
While speaking, Lin Xiao walked to the chair next to Zhang Xiaofu and the others and sat down leisurely.
Father Huang's expression kept changing, and after a while, he spoke, "When did you find out?"
"Let me think."
Lin Xiao rested his head on one hand and said while recalling, "Probably when your daughter asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend."
Father Huang frowned slightly, "You're facing death, yet you're still putting on an act? If you knew back then, why did you agree to her?"
"Because I saw that your family has money!"
Lin Xiao once again revealed a brilliant smile.
Father Huang stared at Lin Xiao for a long time, still not understanding what he was up to.
He asked suspiciously, "You don't really think you can be our family's Matrilocal Son-in-law, right? No, since you already know that I intentionally kidnapped you to ask your family for money, why would you think you could get our family's money?"
"Why? Is becoming your family's Matrilocal Son-in-law the only way to get your family's money?"
Lin Xiao looked harmless, but the words he said were exceptionally cruel, "I can also do it like you, by robbing!"
At this moment, Father Huang felt a chill down his back, and a deep sense of unease rose in his heart.
He didn't know why.
Looking into Lin Xiao's eyes, he felt as if he had been outsmarted.
