594: Section 594
"Lin Dazhi, you answer only what I ask you. If it's not something you should be asking, then don't ask!"
"We will make you understand in due time!"
Hearing this, Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei exchanged a glance.
They both nodded and dared not say anything more.
After a long while, Wei Shang sized them both up before continuing with a smile: "How about this, let's just chat about family matters!"
"You have a son named Lin Yu, right?"
"He is currently attending No. 3 High School in Xinghai City? In his second year of high school, and he's taking the Martial Arts Exam next?"
Wei Shang's words made both Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei's hearts tremble.
Lin Dazhi, in particular, did not forget to turn and look at Liu Hongmei.
His gaze seemed to be saying, 'Listen, it really is about Lin Yu after all, isn't it?'
Liu Hongmei, on the other hand, appeared anxious and uneasy.
Her brain was spinning at high speed, reviewing all of Lin Yu's recent behaviors and actions in her mind.
However, she didn't feel that there was any problem with Lin Yu.
Just as she had said earlier, he went to school on time in the morning.
He came straight home after school in the afternoon and didn't even go to the Martial Arts Hall.
After getting home, he would obediently stay in his room.
How could he possibly cause trouble? And what kind of trouble could he cause at home?
"Our little Yu, he goes to school on time and comes home after school. He—he couldn't have caused any trouble, right? Did you make a mistake? Did you catch the wrong person?" Liu Hongmei said with red eyes.
As a result, Wei Shang chuckled, 'Pfft.'
"Who told you he caused trouble?"
"I don't believe I ever said anything like that, did I?"
"Huh?" Lin Dazhi was bewildered, and Liu Hongmei also looked astonished.
If no one caused trouble, why were they brought here?
And why did they say they needed to assist in investigating a case?
Seeing their confused expressions, Wei Shang continued with a smile: "It's just casual conversation, just chatting!"
"Don't take it to heart!"
"Your son Lin Yu, I heard he has good martial arts talent?"
"And he's participating in the Martial Arts Exam next month, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dazhi nodded: "Yes, the Martial Arts Exam is next month!"
"Hmm, you also have an older son, who got into a Martial Arts University last year and went to the New District?"
"I'm just a bit curious, according to the regulations of the New District, 'When one person attains the Dao, all their family members ascend to heaven'!"
"Why didn't he take you with him?"
"If you had gone to the New District as well, Lin Yu could have attended high school in the New District, and there would be no need for the Martial Arts Exam—as long as his scores met the standard, he could choose the university he wanted to attend!"
"Instead, you have to remain in the Old District? And still have to participate in the Martial Arts Exam?"
Wei Shang's few words immediately made Lin Dazhi's face turn red and his neck swell.
This was their family's dirty laundry.
Back then, when Lin Yi achieved the Martial Exam Top Scholar for the entire district, it should have been a joyous occasion for the whole family.
Instead, it caused Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei to suffer a great humiliation.
Whether it was people at work or in their residential complex, the first thing they said upon seeing them was, 'You're going to go enjoy life with your son.'
But Lin Dazhi knew clearly that these people were well aware of their family's situation.
They were saying it on purpose just to disgust Lin Dazhi.
The same thing had happened to Liu Hongmei.
During that time, the two of them didn't dare to go out and see anyone.
Lin Yi had gone to the New District in glory, leaving them behind in the Old District.
They became the biggest laughingstock.
Now that Wei Shang had brought this up again, Lin Dazhi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Seeing that they were stammering and unable to answer, Wei Shang continued with a smile: "Then let's talk about Lin Yu!"
"Okay..." Lin Dazhi nodded quickly.
As long as they didn't mention Lin Yi, he would talk about anything.
A jeep drove into the Military District.
The moment the car stopped outside the office building, Feng Lei and Captain Shan Kui got out of the car with Lin Yu.
Immediately, more than a dozen armed personnel approached.
"Why did it take you two so long to get back?" Captain Tang Zhan looked at them with a smile.
Feng Lei sighed and said: "There was a traffic jam on the road; otherwise, we would have been back long ago!"
"Alright, you two take him up first!"
Feng Lei and Captain Shan Kui nodded and walked upstairs with the bewildered Lin Yu.
They went all the way to the second floor, which was a place specifically used for interrogating people.
Interrogation room after interrogation room, with thick iron doors, created an inexplicable sense of oppression.
They continued until they brought Lin Yu to the door of one of the interrogation rooms.
After stopping, they knocked on the door.
Then, Feng Lei pushed the door open and went in first.
After a short while, he came back out.
Looking at Lin Yu in front of him, he said: "Go in!"
Lin Yu nodded, his eyes filled with fear.
He appeared extremely nervous, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
The moment he walked into the interrogation room, he saw someone sitting inside, but he didn't dare to look.
He sat on the chair to the side with his head lowered.
Feng Lei and Captain Shan Kui did not follow him in but remained waiting outside the door.
Then, with a loud 'boom,' the heavy iron door was closed.
The person sitting inside smiled.
Gazing at the head-lowered Lin Yu, he chuckled and said: "Long time no see, Lin Yu!"
Suddenly, Lin Yu felt the person's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
He slowly raised his head and glanced at the opposite side.
Just as he saw the person's appearance clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously said: "Brother? Why is it you?"
Chapter 383: Old Lin, don't you recognize me?
Lin Yi looked at Lin Yu with a smile, signaling him to sit down first.
"You don't need to act so surprised; you already knew that I had returned, didn't you?"
Lin Yu was stunned and quickly shook his head: "Huh? I don't know. I'm in school every day, how could I possibly know you returned?"
"Brother, what are you doing back this time?"
"How did you... end up getting involved with people from The Army?"
