33: Chapter 33 The Bitter Flesh Scheme
Young Master Bai Feng realized that Lin Yu was serious, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand to dismiss the women around him.
"Lin Yu, don't think that just because you helped me in the past, you can threaten me like this!"
Young Master Bai Feng narrowed his eyes, a sinister light flickering in his gaze.
As the future heir of the Bai family, it had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like that.
Lin Yu clenched his fists.
He also knew that he could not afford to offend Young Master Bai Feng.
But as things stood, he had no other choice.
"Brother Feng, it's not that I'm threatening you, there really is no other way... They want to send me abroad and cut ties with me. Think about it, if I leave The Lin Family, who will be able to help you in the future?"
Lin Yu could be said to be appealing to both reason and emotion, using both soft and hard tactics.
Although Young Master Bai Feng was still displeased, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart and asked indifferently, "Then how do you need me to help you?"
Seeing that Young Master Bai Feng had relented, Lin Yu quickly leaned in closer and whispered something into his ear.
Young Master Bai Feng's face remained expressionless.
"Then I will help you one last time."
...
Weekend, early morning.
The doorbell rang outside The Lin Family residence.
At this time, the servants had gone out to buy groceries.
The younger generation of the family usually hadn't gotten up yet; only Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei were exercising in the courtyard.
Seeing a delivery person standing outside the courtyard, Su Xiumei was a bit puzzled.
"Why is the delivery so early today?"
As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and went to open the door.
"Maybe they bought too many things, and the courier is delivering them to us early."
Lin Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, not paying much mind to it.
He followed behind Su Xiumei, thinking that if there were many packages, he could help out.
But when the delivery person handed a box to Su Xiumei, Lin Qingshan suddenly saw a cold glint flash beneath the box.
"Look out!"
By the time Lin Qingshan reacted and wanted to rush forward, it was already too late.
The delivery person knocked the cardboard box over and swung a knife directly at Su Xiumei!
Su Xiumei was stunned on the spot, her face turning pale; she stood there, having even forgotten to dodge.
At this moment, another figure rushed out from the side, standing straight in front of Su Xiumei.
"Mom! Watch out!"
It was actually Lin Yu!
In the blink of an eye, the knife still thrust forward and stabbed into Lin Yu's shoulder!
"Ah!"
Lin Yu let out a miserable scream.
The excruciating pain instantly drained the color from his face, but instead of dodging, he shouted at the delivery person, "How dare you hurt my mom! I'll fight you to the death!"
Perhaps frightened by Lin Yu's appearance, the delivery person immediately threw the knife down and ran away without looking back.
Lin Qingshan rushed over, and seeing Lin Yu's bleeding shoulder, he trembled with rage, "Call the family doctor! Also, call the police immediately! Quick!"
The servants who had just gone out to buy groceries returned.
Seeing the scene before them, they dialed the phone in terror and helped Lin Yu back into the living room.
Before long, the family doctor arrived with an assistant.
When Lin Xiao came out of his room, what he saw was the chaotic scene downstairs.
Lin Yu was lying on the sofa with a pale complexion, being examined by the family doctor.
Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei sat nearby, their expressions full of worry and tension.
Su Xiumei's eyes were still a bit red, and she looked with heartache at the wound on Lin Yu's shoulder that was still oozing blood.
Lin Baixuan was also sitting not far away.
As a doctor, she had seen many major situations.
She just frowned slightly, showing little emotion.
Lin Yu got injured so early in the morning?
Lin Xiao wondered inwardly.
He didn't know if it was because he had been sleeping, but he hadn't "eaten the melon" this time.
He simply used his divination technique again to check what exactly was going on.
The Bagua formation appeared in his mind, and after a while, a simple sequence of events was revealed.
Heh, it was another self-directed act.
But this time, he really went hard on himself!
After Lin Xiao understood what had happened, he couldn't help but sneer.
Downstairs, Lin Yu was lying on the sofa, still looking weak.
While his wound was being treated, he groaned from time to time.
This made Su Xiumei feel even more guilty.
After all, Lin Yu was injured because he saved her.
Recalling their previous plan to send Lin Yu away, she felt even more uncomfortable inside.
Perhaps in some matters, they really had some misunderstandings about Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was essentially still a good child.
"Xiaoyu, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell the doctor and get checked in time."
Su Xiumei instructed him carefully.
"Mom, don't worry."
Lin Yu raised a weak smile and said faintly, "As long as you are all okay, that's all that matters."
"We're fine, we're fine."
Hearing these words, Su Xiumei felt even sadder.
Her voice became choked with emotion, and she lowered her head to silently wipe away her tears.
But just at this moment, Lin Xiao's inner voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
[Lin Yu's bitter meat ruse is really...]
[I didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless to himself. To win his family's sympathy, he actually hired someone to stage such a play.]
[But he can be considered successful.]
A bitter meat ruse?
Self-directed?
Su Xiumei's tears stopped instantly.
Based on the previous few times it had been verified, they now trusted Lin Xiao's inner voice quite a bit.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Yu with a probing gaze.
"I'm really fine, it's just a small injury. As long as I can protect you all, I'm not even afraid of death."
Lin Yu did not notice the change in the people around him and remained immersed in his own world.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, I remember that every weekend you sleep until noon before waking up, and you rarely even eat breakfast. How come you got up so early today?"
Lin Baixuan, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly asked.
"I..."
Lin Yu didn't seem to expect someone to ask this suddenly. After being stunned for a moment, he stammered in explanation, "It's just... I don't know why, but I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go down and exercise with Mom and Dad."
"Oh, that's quite a coincidence. If you hadn't happened to wake up early, Mom might have been in danger."
Lin Baixuan looked thoughtful.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the door; it was the police.
The incident this time was relatively simple to explain, and the police quickly understood the situation.
But unexpectedly, the surveillance camera installed at the main entrance of The Lin Family had broken down at some unknown time.
Therefore, apart from the people involved, no one knew what the culprit looked like.
"You don't have to worry. The surveillance cameras on the streets outside have just been replaced with high-definition ones. Even if they are wearing a hat and mask, we can still retrieve the suspect from the database based on their eye and body characteristics."
The police officer said patiently.
Hearing these words, the expressions of The Lin Family finally improved a little.
Only Lin Yu had a flash of panic in his eyes.
