307: Chapter 307 The Lin Family's Grand gesture

Not to mention the Huang Family, even Zhang Xiaofu, Yang Yong, and Qian Ling were left speechless by the scene outside.

They had only ever seen such a scene in movies before!

Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei walked over quickly, and seeing Lin Xiao was unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fourth Sister scolded him sternly: "A-Xiao, you were far too reckless this time! If something had actually happened, what would you have expected Mom and Dad to do?"

Lin Ran chimed in: "Exactly, if our family hadn't been well-informed, we might have been in big trouble!"

"It's a good thing you're okay." Lin Wanwan let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Xiumei looked up at Father Huang, "You have some nerve, daring to target my son!"

Lin Qingshan frowned, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Seeing his family's stance, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He didn't mean to worry them, and besides, he had a backup plan.

At this moment, Chuge's phone suddenly pinged.

She looked down and discovered it was a scheduled text message sent by Lin Xiao.

It basically said that if he hadn't contacted them by this time, they should call The Police and come to the island to find him.

Lin Xiao had set this message up before entering the Huang Family residence.

It was to prevent any accidents from happening.

However, he hadn't expected that before his message even went out, his parents and sisters would sense something was wrong and mobilize the whole family.

Chuge chuckled, "I knew A-Xiao couldn't be that stupid."

Saying this, she handed the phone to her parents.

After seeing the message, the expressions of Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei finally softened.

"Don't ever do such risky things again," Su Xiumei urged.

"I know, I was just thinking about expanding our family business!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Father Huang, then looked at Chuge, "Sister, you must have found out just about everything by now, right?"

"Mm." Chuge nodded.

Actually, it was Lin Wanwan who first noticed something was wrong this time.

Usually, Lin Xiao would pop up in the family group chat every day, sending funny videos or making casual jokes.

But he hadn't said anything the day before yesterday, and yesterday, there wasn't a single message.

Lin Wanwan then told Chuge about her suspicions.

Chuge called Lin Xiao immediately, but when she couldn't get through, she tracked his phone.

After confirming that the last location Lin Xiao appeared in was this island, she started searching the entire web for news about the island over the past two days.

She happened to see the trending topic.

Although the information about Lin Xiao and the others was hidden in the trending topic, as soon as Chuge saw the deeds, she knew it was her brother's doing.

She then launched an investigation and actually managed to find out some things about the island.

Realizing that Lin Xiao was likely already dragged into those affairs, she simply called for backup and rushed over without stopping.

However, the people she brought didn't seem to have played much of a role.

Originally, she had thought that a family like the Huang Family, which had significant local influence, might be difficult to deal with.

That was why she had hired so many people from a professional security company.

Unexpectedly, there was no need for these people to take action; the Huang Family just caved.

In the end, they only served as a bit of a deterrent.

Perhaps it was because the Huang Family's style of doing things over the years had been too unscrupulous, caring only about hoarding wealth for themselves without considering the situation of others.

This meant that when the Huang Family faced such big trouble, not a single person came out to help them.

However, the Lin Family's grand display still alarmed quite a few people.

Among them were the local police on the island and the person in charge of the Tourism Bureau.

Chuge took out a contract and handed it to the person in charge, "This is the development contract for the tourism projects on this island that we agreed upon earlier; I have already signed it on my end."

"Good, good, good! With the Lin Corporation's investment, our tourism industry will definitely get better and better!" The person in charge was very happy.

In recent years, the island's tourism industry had been on a downward trend due to a lack of innovation.

Taking advantage of this trending topic, they were preparing to redevelop some tourism projects, but that required a large amount of capital.

They had thought they would miss this opportunity, so they were very happy that the Lin Corporation suddenly offered to invest.

The Lin Corporation was always generous, directly taking on everything and becoming the largest developer on the island.

However, Chuge was not stupid; she wouldn't spend such a huge cost just to save Lin Xiao.

The projects she decided to invest in must have high returns.

On this island, it wasn't just the tourism industry that could generate revenue.

What she was truly interested in was the Huang Family's pearl business.

To legitimately snatch this business from the hands of the Huang Family, she would have to rely on the third sister, Su Yu, to take action.

While Chuge was coordinating with the person in charge of the Tourism Bureau, Su Yu also began to negotiate with The Police.

"They illegally detained my brother, I hope you can handle this matter first." Su Yu said, pointing at Lin Xiao and the other three, "The parties involved are all here, so there shouldn't be any questions."

At this moment, Huang Yan came running out of the auditorium, stumbling.

"Wait, wait a second, you can't do this!"

Huang Yan's face was pale, her expression full of anxiety, "Lin Xiao, you can't return kindness with ingratitude. After all, I was the one who saved you from the sea and brought you to the island!"

"I think you're the one returning kindness with ingratitude! We agreed to help you, but your dad wanted to kidnap us!" Although Zhang Xiaofu sympathized with Huang Yan, he found his own experience even harder to accept.

It was his first time being locked in a warehouse for a whole day, without food or drink; he felt like he smelled!

"That was because he exposed the secret first; my dad did the wrong thing in a fit of anger!" Huang Yan explained unconvincingly.

Lin Xiao sighed lightly and said indifferently: "Stop making excuses. Do you think I don't know? You planned to scheme against us from the very beginning, and even that Boatman who brought us here was in on it with you, right?"
