Lin Qiang’s previous plans had been foiled. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Ding Yao this time. However, he did not expect to meet General Long Zhanyuan’s men, and his plan fell through yet again. Lin Qiang’s final testimony was coerced. If he did not confess, he would be tortured. Long Liu even said that torture by the police would be more severe than his. Lin Qiang felt that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well come clean quick to avoid torture.

Wen Jiang and Xu Zhizhi’s faces were filled with anger when they heard Lin Qiang’s confession. They really regretted persuading Ding Yao to come to the capital with them. She almost lost her life! Lin Hu was indeed despicable to want to kill his own niece and take both their lives in the process. He was worse than an animal!

Ding Yao, on the other hand, wore a calm expression. She felt that Lin Qiang’s confession was not the truth. Lin Hu had tried to kill her repeatedly, and he paid good money every time. If he was willing to spend all that money, why would he hesitate to lose a shop or two? n0𝑣ℯ𝑳𝑈𝓈𝓑.𝒸0𝐌

The police went to the address given by Lin Qiang to arrest Lin Hu on the same night to corroborate Lin Qiang’s statement. However, Lin Hu claimed that he was wronged and that Lin Qiang was lying. He even questioned Lin Qiang, “Tell me, were you instructed by someone to frame me?”

Lin Qiang gritted his teeth as he said, “You were the one who instructed me, you were the one who put me in this situation!”

Lin Hu sneered, “If you claim that I was the one who instructed you, do you have any evidence?”

Lin Qiang was dumbfounded. Lin Hu spoke to him alone and there was no third person present. Although he had paid him in advance, money alone could not prove anything. He did not know any of the people whom he had to work with. This was bad. If Lin Hu denied everything, would he be interrogated again by the police? But who could he point out? If he could not find anyone else, he would be tortured to death.

At the thought of this, Lin Qiang wished he could eat Lin Hu’s flesh. He gritted his teeth and said, “Eldest young master, I am your trusted subordinate. This is the evidence!”

Lin Hu sneered again. “Trusted subordinate? You flatter yourself too much. You are only a servant of the Lin family. Moreover, the master you followed in the beginning was not me.”

Lin Qiang immediately came around. Lin Hu was going to blame everything on the third young master. Lin Qiang used to work for the third young master, Lin Jiaxing. Lin Jiaxing was an illegitimate son and was very unloved in the Lin family. When Lin Hu asked to keep him, Lin Qiang did not hesitate to abandon Lin Jiaxing. It seemed that Lin Hu had planned for all this when he asked to keep him!

Meanwhile, Lin Hu’s father, Lin Biao, personally brought the third young master, Lin Jiaxing, and a few witnesses to the police station to turn him in. Lin Jiaxing was still a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy. He was a good-for-nothing profligate son of a large family and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Because his family had money, he did a lot of bad things.

Lin Jiaxing was brought to the police station by Lin Biao, all ignorant and not knowing what was going on. He had no clue that Lin Biao had already abandoned him and was about to make him Lin Hu’s scapegoat.

Lin Biao pulled Lin Jiaxing and turned him in to the police. “I’ve already found out that Lin Jiaxing was the one who instructed Lin Qiang to do this. He deliberately framed his eldest brother, Lin Hu. Now that I’ve brought him here, you can deal with him according to the law.”

Lin Jiaxing turned pale with fright. Only now did he know why Lin Biao had brought him here. He wanted to say something, but he realized that he couldn’t say anything at all. He realized now that because his father was going to make him Lin Hu’s scapegoat, the tea that he had drunk earlier had been laced with poison, making him speechless and unable to refute!

“Ah ah ah ah…” Lin Jiaxing spluttered in panic as he tried to explain that he didn’t do anything and he hadn’t instructed Lin Qiang to frame Lin Hu.

Lin Biao glared fiercely at Lin Jiaxing. “Please don’t pretend to look pitiful here. You’re afraid that it would be difficult to explain if the matter was exposed so you fed yourself medicine that would make you lose your voice. Do you think that I’ll feel sorry for you? I’m telling you, it’s impossible! Your voice will come back in a few days!” Lin Biao continued to reprimand him bitterly, “I know why you did this. You think that you can take over the Lin family’s assets just because you destroy Lin Hu. You’re dreaming! It’s all because I’ve coddled you too much that you disregarded kinship and did such an infuriating thing! You didn’t just want to harm your big brother, you even wanted to harm your niece!”

Lin Jiaxing’s face was filled with tears. “Ah ah ah ah…” He wanted to say that he was also his father’s biological son. How could his father treat him like this? He had never thought about taking over the Lin family assets. He knew his place and minded his own business, so why wouldn’t his big brother let him off?
