"Hello, are you Lin Zhang? We are from the Investigation Department. We would like to ask for your assistance in investigating your background."

The uniformed official looked at Lin Zhang coldly.

A woman was following behind them.

The woman looked to be around forty years old, and aside from anything else, her face was very similar to Lin Zhang's.

Especially those eyes, the slightest curve makes them look even more like the real thing.

Seeing all this, Lin Zhang's panicked heart suddenly calmed down.

"Can I refuse?"

He asked tentatively, even though he knew it was impossible.

"No, because once this is confirmed, you will be convicted."

The man was getting impatient.

What's up with this kid?

The internet is already in such a mess, does he still live in ancient times?

Anyone who has seen the news will probably know what he's going to face.

How dare they even try to pull against him here!

It seems this kid knew something, otherwise things wouldn't be like this.

"Can I refuse?"

Although Lin Zhang appeared calm at the moment, he knew he was actually quite panicked.

Because this is the last time he will be able to stand here freely.

Once he goes with these people, he may never be able to get out again.

He knew about Lin Siyuan's affairs; not only did he know, he was also involved, not to mention the benefits he had received over the years.

Those things will only make him commit even more sins.

The man grew annoyed that the young man was so stubborn.

Just as he was about to explode in anger, the woman suddenly spoke up, "Son, don't struggle anymore. As long as you were involved, you're in the know. But don't worry, if you don't die, I'll do my best to protect you!"

ridiculous!

This woman, whom he had never met, actually said such a thing!

It was because of people like her that he was abandoned at birth and was about to starve to death when only Lin Siyuan noticed him and saved him.

Although the woman didn't have good intentions at the time, she did save his life after all.

And where did this strange woman come from?

How dare you spout such nonsense here!

"You think you can deny my identity based on a DNA sample whose authenticity is unknown? How much have you been paid to do this? You've actually set your sights on me?"

"Oh, I see. You think Lin Yuan is unlikely to come back, that's why you're being so presumptuous!"

"As for you, regardless of whether you are my biological mother or not, you have miscalculated. I am not your son, and I am just an ordinary mortal. There is nothing of value for you, a cultivator, to gain."

Lin Zhang laughed sarcastically.

He spoke very bluntly.

Even those who were prepared changed their expressions after hearing this.

The stranger's face darkened immediately.

She really did come here hoping to get something out of this man.

Regardless of whether this Lin Yuan's son is real or not, he does have a cultivator mother.

I never expected him to expose me to my face.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The higher-ups have already made up their minds to get rid of this mother and son. No matter how arrogant they are, they're just grasshoppers in autumn, they won't be around for long.

So she suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes, covered her face and cried as she continued to act, "I know you blame me for abandoning you back then, but there really is another story behind that matter. You won't even listen to a word of it, which is really too unfair to me. Lin Zhang, you should go back with them. That way you can calm down and listen to my explanation properly."

explain?

That's probably not an explanation, but rather an excuse to figure out how to lock him up.

The mockery in Lin Zhang's eyes was almost tangible.

He really didn't expect that these people wouldn't even bother pretending anymore.

Are you so eager to kill him?

Where did Lin Siyuan go?

At this moment, the only savior Lin Zhang could think of was her.

Unfortunately, before he could make any contact, he was taken away by the officials who arrived.

After being locked in an interrogation room, all his electronic devices were taken away.

Now he is just an ordinary mortal. Without those things, connecting with people has become a luxury for him.

Why would I want to think about her?

Doesn't he know how that woman has treated him all these years?

When disaster strikes, everyone flies away.

She's probably already long gone by now.

Who would care about him being just a tool?

A blinding light shone directly at him, making his eyes sting.

A man sat opposite him and asked in a cold voice, "How do you usually contact Lin Siyuan? Besides the property here on the main planet, where else does she live? Where do you think she might escape to?"

One sharp question after another was asked, and by the time Lin Zhang came to his senses, he was certain that Lin Siyuan had indeed abandoned him and run away.

Didn't we already know that?

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, suddenly no longer tense, and looked at the people opposite him defiantly, saying, "Who gave you permission to arrest me? What evidence do you have? Or are you so unscrupulous in dealing with someone these days?"

The person asking the question was taken aback by his assertiveness.

Not long after, the man actually turned on his personal computer and projected a series of pieces of evidence onto a virtual screen in mid-air. “These are the facts of your crimes over the years, and they have been confirmed. There is not a single falsehood.”

Looking at the things he had actually done, Lin Zhang was stunned into silence.

He never expected that such a secretive matter would be found to have so much evidence.
