Lin Biao’s heart also ached. After all, Lin Jiaxing was also his biological son. But in order to protect Lin Hu, he could only continue teaching Lin Jiaxing a painful lesson, “You’d better confess now to avoid suffering physical pain!” As he said that, he turned around and said to Lin Qiang, “Kneel down! How dare you instigate third young master Lin Jiaxing to do such a vicious thing? You should also be punished!”
Lin Qiang shuddered. He knew that Lin Biao was a ruthless person, even more ruthless than Lin Hu. His gaze just now seemed to be telling him that if he did not do as he said, his family would suffer. Lin Qiang thought hard and finally compromised. He could not bear to put his family in danger. Lin Qiang admitted quickly that Lin Jiaxing was the mastermind.
Lin Jiaxing lost his voice and couldn’t speak. Lin Qiang could say whatever he wanted to say, and all blame would fall on Lin Jiaxing. Lin Hu would basically get off scot-free. Lin Biao also explained that their family didn’t just own one or two stores but more than a dozen. It was Lin Hu who proposed to compensate Ding Yao by giving her a store. Whatever Lin Qian said about Lin Hu having this as a motive to kill Ding Yao was untrue. Lin Hu was naturally acquitted after all this.
Although Long San and Long Liu still felt that there was something fishy about the matter, they couldn’t say anymore because Lin Biao had brought Lin Jiaxing here to turn himself in, and there were witnesses. They could only continue to look for evidence. What was originally an attempted murder case had become a case of brothers framing each other. Having personally witnessed the filthy affairs of a wealthy family, even Wen Jiang felt that this trip to the capital was a huge mistake! Such relatives should be kept at a distance!
Lin Hu pulled Ding Yao in front of Lin Biao and introduced her with some excitement, “Dad, this is Ding Yao. I didn’t lie to you, right? She’s really beautiful!”
Lin Biao seemed to be stunned. He looked at Ding Yao without blinking. She was indeed beautiful. Ding Yao looked calmly into Lin Biao’s eyes and didn’t miss the flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Lin Biao looked a little fierce. Even if he squeezed out a smile, his face still made people feel that he wasn’t friendly. Xu Zhizhi and Wen Jiang dared not get too close and kept shrinking back. At this time, Lin Hu suddenly opened his mouth to remind Ding Yao, “Ding Yao, quickly call Grandpa. He’s your biological grandfather.”
Ding Yao realized that she couldn’t say it out loud. She still didn’t know if Lin Biao was her biological grandfather. Just the murderous intent in his eyes showed that he really wanted her dead. Why on earth would this person want her dead? Ding Yao couldn’t figure it out. But this could be a secret very few knew. Perhaps only Lin Biao and Lin Hu knew about it. That was why Lin Biao sacrificed Lin Jiaxing just now to protect Lin Hu.
Lin Biao saw that Ding Yao wasn’t willing to call him out loud but he didn’t force her. He only said, “Let’s go home first.”
“Hold on,” A dignified voice sounded at this time. General Long Zhanyuan, in civilian clothes, came in with two attendants. When he saw Ding Yao, he laughed heartily. “Hello little Ding Yao, were you scared stiff?”
Ding Yao shook her head. “No.” She knew that she would be in danger the whole way, so she was fully prepared. She also knew that Long San and Long Liu were protecting her. How could she be scared stiff?
“That’s good.” General Long Zhanyuan seemed to be in a good mood. At this time, the person in charge of the case quickly went forward and said, “General Long, why are you here? You should have told me in advance so that I could go outside to welcome you…”
General Long Zhanyuan waved his hand. “There’s no need for such hypocritical ostentation. Tell me first how the investigation is going.”
The person in charge knew General Long Zhanyuan’s temper. He smiled slightly and replied, “The suspects have all confessed, but there are some details that need to be investigated and corroborated. It would take a while to completely close the case.”
Lin Jiaxing’s eyes instantly lit up. If it would take a while to completely close the case, he still had a chance to get out of it.
Lin Biao and Lin Hu’s hearts skipped a beat when they heard that. It would be very bad if General Long Zhanyuan interfered in this matter!
The person in charge briefed General Long Zhanyuan about the investigation. General Long nodded and said, “Alright, then we’ll wait for the final result of your investigation.” He didn’t continue asking more questions as his gaze fell on Lin Biao and turned icy. “Ding Yao is wife of the person who saved my life, but she almost lost her life because of internal strife in your family. It’s your fault for not teaching your children well. You’re also guilty.”
Lin Biao quickly lowered his head and put on a humble look. “I know I’m wrong. I’ve already sent Lin Jiaxing to the police station of my own accord. We have no objection to the verdict.”
