Lin Aiguo had a long face, feeling that Hu Youcai was the troublemaker of the brigade.
It's shameful to associate with these people.
Lin Aiguo originally thought that he belonged to the brigade and that he had watched him grow up, so no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't bother the people in the brigade.
But now, he's attacking his own country.
Lin Aiguo shook his head: "Hu Youcai, does your father know you're here?"
Hu Youcai grinned and said, "What does this have to do with my dad? Captain, don't think that everyone in the brigade respects you. Today I'm going to expose your true colors."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Lin Aiguo, and said to the cabinet committee members, "Stop wasting time talking to them, start the search now."
Lin Yu blocked the doorway: "Wait."
"What, are you trying to stop the investigation? Do you have something to hide?"
Lin Yu stood on the threshold with her arms crossed, looking down at the doorway: "What will you say if we don't find anything?"
The leader of the cabinet committee muttered, "If we didn't find it, we didn't find it."
"Hmph, the fact that we didn't find anything proves our innocence, while Hu Youcai, who reported us, is definitely up to something."
Hu Youcai retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, I am a poor peasant."
These days, being poor is even something to be proud of.
But Lin Yu didn't believe he was really poor; he had accumulated a lot of money by raiding other people's homes in previous years.
"I don't care. If they find nothing wrong with us after the search, then they'll search your house."
Hu Youcai didn't care: "Go ahead and search."
Anyway, he wouldn't keep anything valuable at home. Now his house is bare, and he can't find anything there.
But he didn't just want to deal with Lin Aiguo: "We split into two groups and searched the workshops as well."
Lin Yu thought to herself, "This must be his ultimate goal."
She frowned: "Why do you need a workshop too?"
Hu Youcai saw this as a sign of guilt, which made him even more agitated, and he decided to search the workshop.
Lin Yu reached out to stop her: "Wait, let's make this clear first."
Hu Youcai smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and say it. Anyway, no matter what you say, the workshop is definitely going to be searched."
"Search if you want, but how do we know you won't use this opportunity for personal revenge?"
Without a second thought, the cabinet members retorted, "How could that be? Don't talk nonsense."
"Hmph, how could I trust you? What if you're acting under someone's orders to frame us?"
The men's eyes darted around, glancing at Hu Youcai every now and then; it was obvious that he was the one who had given the orders.
They came so eagerly because they heard they could make money off of it.
With this status, they've made quite a bit of money over the years.
Lin Yu had already guessed it; judging from their behavior, there was no need to say more—everyone knew what was going on.
Hu Youcai felt that the evidence had been placed in the place he specified, and that inviting these people was just a formality; he hadn't asked them to do anything.
"So what do you want?"
Lin Yu looked at them and said, "You can search, but we're going to watch. Anything you find on your own won't count; it'll definitely be a setup. How about that?"
"That's no problem," Hu Youcai said confidently. "Sure, but if they find anything, you can't say you're framing them."
"Okay, then you guys go search."
Several people rushed into the Lin family's house, each accompanied by a member of the Lin family.
They headed straight to several locations they knew in advance. The first one went into the living room and looked under the cabinet.
Lin Jianguo followed, staring intently at him until he broke out in a cold sweat.
He lay on the ground for a long time, but still couldn't find what was promised.
Another short man went straight to the Lin family's yard and searched through the chicken coop.
This made the hen jump up.
Lin Shan followed behind him, watching, and casually carried the chicken out of the coop.
There was also a skinny man who went to the Lin family's vegetable garden.
They trampled several large cabbages as soon as they went in, which made Erniu and Lin Yi feel sorry for them.
Lin Yuanzai watched him closely, not allowing him to make any small moves.
The same thing happened to the people who went to search the workshop; they were accompanied by Lin Laosan and Lin Aiguo, but in the end they found nothing.
Instead, it attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Knowing that these people were summoned by Hu Youcai, the old folks all started cursing.
"Hu family, we've watched you grow up, how can you turn around and bully your own people?"
"Exactly, how did Hu Dayou raise his child? He's so heartless."
Hu Dayou had no idea about his son's affairs; if he had known, he would definitely have stopped him.
Although he was a scoundrel, at least he still had a conscience.
The brigade leader was always very open and honest with everyone in his brigade, and everyone respected him.
Hu Dayou was so angry at his son's ruthless actions that he almost collapsed.
Hu Youcai didn't care about his father. He thought he could take the money and fly away, so he didn't take the Lotus Brigade seriously.
Unfortunately, neither group found anything unusual at the Lin family's house or workshop.
There was a large sum of money in the workshop's finance drawer, but because Captain Lin was keeping an eye on things, the cabinet committee had no chance to get their hands on it.
When they all returned, Hu Youcai was incredulous to learn that they had found nothing.
"How is that possible!"
His eyes searched through the crowd, and when he saw Li Dawei's guilty expression, he understood.
"Li Dawei, you betrayed me!"
Lin Yu looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes filled with sarcasm.
Hu Youcai finally understood what was going on: "You've all teamed up against me!"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Didn't you send people to search our house today?"
"What did I do? I just had someone keep an eye on things to prevent you from doing anything. Is that wrong? Or did you plan this all along to frame me?"
Hu Youcai stammered in a panic, "I didn't, I didn't."
He swallowed hard. "Since we can't find it, let's pretend I misunderstood. Let's go!"
He called a few people from the cabinet committee and turned to leave.
Lin Yu blocked their way: "Why are you leaving already? We haven't finished talking yet."
"What's up?"
The members of the cabinet committee now realized that Hu Youcai had probably been tricked, causing them to lose face here as well.
The one in the lead then reminded him, "You promised her you'd search your house."
Gu Youcai forgot for a moment, but he wasn't afraid, since his house was bare and he had nothing.
When Hu Dayou heard that the cabinet committee was going to search their house, he thought it was a house raid and he was so angry that he fainted.
The group then went to Hu Youcai's house. Lin Yu wanted to search inside, but Hu Youcai, remembering Lin Yu's earlier behavior, said:
"Wait, I'm going to keep an eye on your search too, don't even think about doing anything sabotage."
Lin Yu nodded nonchalantly: "Sure."
So the cabinet committee members started keeping an eye on Lin Yu and searching everywhere.
Lin Yu opened his wardrobe, which was in a complete mess.
She reached inside and suddenly pulled out a box.
The cabinet committee members standing nearby took one look and their eyes lit up; they had found several such boxes during their raids.
Lin Yu took out the box: "Let's see what's inside?"
