34: Chapter 34 Taking Kickbacks
After hearing Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, The Lin Family kept their attention focused on Lin Yu's face.
The flash of panic on Lin Yu's face was accurately captured.
They were all intelligent people, so how could they not have guessed the truth?
"Xiaoyu, are you sure you didn't see that person's appearance clearly at all?"
Su Xiumei asked one last time.
"Mom, I really didn't. The situation was too urgent at the time, and my mind went completely blank..."
Lin Yu continued to bluff, sticking to the excuse he had thought of beforehand.
But this time, he vaguely noticed the helplessness in his mother's eyes.
It was only then that he noticed the concerned expressions his family had originally shown him had disappeared, he didn't know when.
Besides his mother, his father and second sister also had looks of helplessness in their eyes.
"Dad, Mom, why do you have those expressions?"
Lin Yu's heart pounded with nervousness.
He thought about the possibility that he might have been exposed, but quickly dismissed the thought.
This matter had been handled very secretly; it was impossible for him to be discovered!
Especially now that even the police had no evidence, it was even more impossible for them to suspect him!
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yu firmly raised his head. "Dad, Mom, I really didn't see that person's appearance clearly. You saw the situation at the time; if I hadn't appeared in time, Mom would have..."
Watching Lin Yu's refusal to admit the truth, no matter how uncomfortable Su Xiumei felt, she couldn't say a word.
She didn't want to completely tear off the mask with the son she had raised for twenty years.
No matter what, she still wanted to maintain some dignity for everyone.
The others probably thought the same.
After faintly telling Lin Yu to recover well from his injuries, they stopped paying attention to him.
Seeing such indifference from his family, Lin Yu understood something.
Although he didn't know where he had made a mistake, his exposure seemed to be a certainty.
Sure enough, in the following days, Lin Yu often saw his parents discussing something in the study.
Whenever he approached, they would stop their conversation.
Furthermore, he also saw some materials about schools abroad in the study's trash can.
It seemed that this time, they were determined to send him away.
Lin Yu felt incredibly irritated, but had no other options.
He knew that Young Master Bai Feng would not help him again in the short term.
After thinking for several days, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something.
He immediately went to school and found the person in charge of renovating the Library from the Logistics Department.
The person in charge was surnamed Li, a middle-aged man in his forties.
He was tall and thin, with a shrewd look on his face.
Previously, after Lin Qingshan had decided to help A University renovate the Library, Lin Yu had sought out this person in charge.
Just as Lin Yu had expected, this Director Li was also a greedy person.
The two of them immediately struck a deal to profit from the materials, splitting the profits fifty-fifty.
When Director Li saw Lin Yu arrive, a fawning smile hung on his face.
"Oh my, Young Master Lin, what wind has blown you here?"
Director Li greeted him while busily pouring tea and water.
But that smile was very fake.
Facing these Rich Second Generation, he was at his age and still had to smile at this young kid; he was a hundred percent resentful in his heart.
But there was nothing he could do; he really couldn't afford to offend him.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa, unceremoniously took the teacup, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Director Li, the money from the Lin Corporation should have been transferred a few days ago. Why is there no movement on your end? You aren't thinking of keeping it all for yourself, are you?"
"How could that be!"
Director Li hurriedly explained.
He glanced outside the door, and after confirming no one was there, he lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Lin, didn't we agree before to split it after the renovation is completed?"
Lin Yu rolled his eyes impatiently. "It's only a difference of a month at most, what's the difference?"
In fact, Lin Yu was feeling a bit insecure inside at this moment.
They had indeed agreed to wait until the project was finished to split the money, but he was running out of time.
He didn't know which day his parents would send him away. If he wasn't prepared by then, he would just be sitting duck waiting for his doom.
So he had to get as much money as possible as soon as possible.
But in order not to leave any evidence, he couldn't show even the slightest bit of urgency.
He had to remain as arrogant and domineering as before.
Director Li was indeed intimidated by Lin Yu's demeanor and hurriedly explained patiently: "Young Master Lin, because many of the materials haven't arrived yet, it's uncertain how much will be left in the end..."
Lin Yu frowned. "Do you think I really don't understand? Project plans like this are written well in advance, and they all have details."
"But there can be special circumstances..."
Director Li still wanted to explain.
Lin Yu waved his hand impatiently. "No matter what special circumstances there are, the amount won't differ too much. Can't you just shoulder it yourself? Don't forget, without me, you wouldn't be able to earn a single cent!"
Facing this attitude from Lin Yu, Director Li was very angry inside.
Going back on his word was one thing, but to actually threaten him?
But even if he was angry, he couldn't show it.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously: "Young Master Lin, are you in urgent need of money? If it's really necessary, I can transfer some to you first?"
Lin Yu wouldn't admit it, just said indifferently: "I've got my eye on a new car, and I'm a bit short on pocket money."
Director Li clenched his fists tightly.
He was already at his age, yet he still had to work hard every day.
To earn some kickbacks, he had to be on edge all day long.
Yet this Lin Yu was actually just in a rush to buy a car?
Director Li took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm. "Young Master Lin, you should know that every sum of money requires approval layer by layer. Until the project is finished, a large portion simply cannot be released."
Lin Yu said coldly: "Then just cover the money that should be split with me yourself. When that money comes down, you can take it all."
Seeing that Lin Yu was determined to get the money first, Director Li really had no other choice.
He had to take out his phone and sighed heavily. "Alright then, I only have this much private savings; I'll transfer it all to you."
In a little while, Lin Yu received a notification that the money had arrived.
This made him feel much more at ease, and his expression improved a lot.
"Good, then we are square. I'm leaving."
After getting the money, Lin Yu didn't want to stay for a single moment.
He went on to carry out his next plan.
But what he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one who received the notification of the deposit into his bank account.
