308: Chapter 308 The Whole Family Loves Money

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Huang Yan was stunned.

Zhang Xiaofu also widened his eyes, asking in astonishment, "Brother Lin, what did you say?"

Yang Yong couldn't believe it, "Lin Xiao, do you mean that the boat breaking down at sea was also something they planned in advance?"

"Yeah."

Lin Xiao nodded.

On this island, the Huang Family relied on being the local bullies, and it could be said they did whatever they wanted.

The reason they were able to build their wealth was entirely by doing some shady, illicit deeds.

What Lin Xiao and his friends encountered was just one of them.

Every year during the holidays, there were quite a lot of people coming to the island for tourism.

Often, a portion of people would fail to buy tickets and choose to charter a boat to the island themselves.

The price of chartering a boat was much higher than that of a cruise ship, so those who chose to charter a boat were usually people with relatively affluent family backgrounds.

Those boatmen would select some young people who looked inexperienced and lure them into the trap.

Lin Xiao and the other three looked like naive, innocent college students at a glance, so they were naturally targeted.

For ordinary people, once they were taken out to sea by The Boatman, they were already in a situation where they were bound to be scammed.

When the boat anchored at sea, everyone would be worried and afraid, thinking about being rescued as soon as possible.

And the appearance of the Huang Family's boat was a lifeline for them.

Everything that followed happened naturally.

Facing a savior who was blind, normal people would feel grateful and be willing to help.

Especially when it was just a small favor like disrupting a blind date.

Once the tourists really helped Huang Yan drive away her blind date, Huang Yan would suggest that they pretend to be her boyfriend to help her go home and explain it to her father.

Using all sorts of acts to feign pity and gain sympathy.

If Lin Xiao hadn't been reminded by the system back then, he would have almost been deceived by Huang Yan too.

"My god, so that's how it is!"

Zhang Xiaofu's brain finally caught up.

Such a scam was still too advanced for his brain.

Yang Yong reacted faster, sighing, "Sigh, in other words, Lin Xiao, even if you hadn't directly shown your hand yesterday, the Huang Family would still have found a way to expose you, then claim you deceived their daughter, and detain you."

"Exactly."

Lin Xiao chuckled, "Then they would find a way to contact my family and ask my family for compensation... To put it bluntly, it's just a more complex honey trap."

Zhang Xiaofu frowned, "This family really uses despicable means just to make money!"

"Yeah, after all, it's a high-return, low-risk business! If they happened to hook a wealthy person as a son-in-law, wouldn't that be a huge win?"

Lin Xiao looked at Father Huang mockingly.

"Uh, it's just a pity they misjudged and missed out on a golden son-in-law like you."

Yang Yong patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

Zhang Xiaofu pondered for a moment, appearing still somewhat confused, "Brother Lin, so you went through all this trouble just to watch a show? Also, the tourism industry on this island is clearly going downhill. If your sister takes it over now, won't she lose money?"

Lin Xiao lifted his chin slightly, pointing at Su Yu not far away, "That depends on my third sister's ability. The main event has only just begun."

On the other side, after dealing with the matter regarding illegal detention, Su Yu took another folder out of her bag.

This time the whole family came out; although it was to back Lin Xiao up, that wasn't the only reason they had put on such a big display.

The Lin Family were all businesspeople, and they were naturally sensitive to the scent of money.

Su Yu handed the folder to the police, "Here is the information on the Huang Family's illegal activities, including illegal mining and illegal transactions."

The police officer hadn't expected the matter to turn out to be this big.

After briefly flipping through the documents, he said solemnly, "After all, Huang Li is a major entrepreneur here, and nearly half of the businesses on the island are linked to him. This matter is significant, and I must report it to my superiors."

"Fine, but I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible. Dragging it out for too long won't be good."

Su Yu narrowed her eyes, her tone meaningful.

The police officer was stunned and quickly explained, "Rest assured, we have always handled things officially and impartially; we will never show any favoritism because of the Huang Family's influence!"

Su Yu's lips curled into a smile, "You misunderstood. I just don't want to delay our family's business."

"You mean..."

The police officer was somewhat confused.

Su Yu took out another document, "The Huang Family's illegal pearl mining and private sales are mainly because they lack the permits. These are copies of our family's permits and bidding documents. I believe we will be able to take over the Huang Family's business very soon."

"..."

The police officer clearly hadn't expected The Lin Family's efficiency to be this high.

"Damn, impressive!"

Zhang Xiaofu slapped his thigh, his eyes practically turning into stars as he looked at The Lin Family members, "Brother Lin, it turns out your family isn't just you who is amazing; everyone else is also so amazing! To have completed so many things at such a fast speed!"

Lin Xiao curved his eyes, "Yeah, after all, our family loves money!"

"They also love you."

Qian Ling added.

Yang Yong also nodded in agreement, "My wife is right."

In fact, for ordinary people like them, the appearance of The Lin Family was indeed very shocking.

But the gap between rich and poor was too large, and sometimes they were actually not as sensitive to money.

Instead, it was seeing The Lin Family's care for Lin Xiao that was truly moving.

Lin Xiao seemed to be touched by these words and turned to look at his parents and six sisters.

Yeah, he loved them too.
