Ever since Old Master Lin caught them doing what they did, Li Yancheng didn't bother to hide it from them anymore.
Even in front of them, she could hug and touch Yan Xi without any psychological pressure.
So the ones who were embarrassed were Old Master Lin and the others.
However, before he could brag for a few days, an event that shocked the whole country occurred.
Brutal murders occurred one after another near the Lin family, and even children were not spared.
The victim looked like someone in a zombie movie on TV, with bite marks on his neck and all his blood sucked out.
Once the incident was discovered, it caused an uproar on the Internet.
An eyewitness claimed to have captured the murderer's face in a photograph.
Although the video is blurry, the murderer's hideous face can still be vaguely seen.
He has a green face, fangs, and long nails, just like a zombie!
The video became a hot topic, and people who had been on the same flight with Li Yancheng and others stood up and claimed that they had seen the murderer.
So someone dug out the surveillance footage of the passengers on that day's flight.
[It's actually someone from the Lin family. Is this how rich people ruin other people's lives?! The law must be enforced impartially!]
[It's obvious that he's not a good person. He should be put to death!]
[Am I the only one wondering, are there really zombies in this world? If they are real, then aren't we in great danger?!]
[Regardless of whether they are zombies or not, this kind of person deserves death. Of course, if they are zombies, they should be torn into pieces!]
[……]
Netizens clamored for the police to arrest him.
Li Yancheng was suddenly cyber-bullied, and Yan Xi, his closest person, was not spared either.
No matter how hard the Lin family tries, they can’t suppress the trending searches.
The reporter even chased to the gate of the Lin family manor.
Not long after, a group of plainclothes police officers also came to the door.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, we are police officers from the Unnatural Events Management Bureau. According to reports from the public, we suspect that the gentleman in the photo is related to multiple murders. Please ask him to come out and go with us." Liu Wen, the captain of the police officers from the Unnatural Events Management Bureau, took out his ID and the photo of Li Yancheng that was circulated on the Internet and showed it to Mr. Lin with an expressionless face.
Old Master Lin glanced at his ID and said with a forced smile, "Captain Liu, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here. I have reason to suspect someone is targeting the Lin family and spreading rumors. I think you should investigate instead of just holding the victim accountable."
Liu Wen looked at him calmly and said, "We will certainly get to the bottom of this matter, but the prerequisite is that we still need this gentleman's cooperation. So, please ask Mr. Lin to come out and walk with us."
The other party refused to budge, and the smile on Old Master Lin's face disappeared instantly.
How could he easily hand Li Yancheng over to them? Li Yancheng is now a thousand-year-old zombie. Regardless of whether he has committed a crime or not, harboring demons and monsters and not reporting them is also a crime.
By then, the Lin family will not be able to wash themselves clean even if they jump into the Yellow River.
Old Master Lin glanced at the old butler next to him. The old butler understood and prepared to offer money as a token of his gratitude. Unexpectedly, Liu Wen remained unmoved and took a very tough stance. "What does Old Master Lin mean by this? The Unnatural Events Management Bureau won't buy it. I advise Old Master Lin to let him go with us. This will be better for the Lin family and everyone else. If Old Master Lin insists on doing this, then we can only take coercive measures."
Liu Wen's expression suddenly turned cold. Old Master Lin clenched his cane and was about to say something when Li Yancheng's voice came from upstairs, "I can go with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Li Yancheng and Yan Xi stood together. Li Yancheng put his hands behind his back and looked at them quietly. There was no emotion in his deep eyes, but his every move revealed the natural imperial dominance, which was intimidating.
Liu Wen was shocked, but he remained strong and calm. He turned sideways and said, "Then please come in."
Yan Xi glanced at them indifferently, then turned to Li Yancheng and said, "I'll go with you."
Li Yancheng did not refuse. He nodded, took his hand and walked downstairs slowly.
When Liu Wen saw that they were going together, he stopped Yan Xi and said, "Please stay, Mr. Lin Yanxi. We only want him to go with us."
Yan Xi looked at him. Liu Wen looked calm and not panicked at all.
"Captain Liu, are you really just here for routine work?" Yan Xi smiled slowly, but his eyes were very sharp.
Liu Wen's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Of course."
Yan Xi slowly let go of Li Yancheng's hand, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile: "Well, I won't delay your routine business. Goodbye."
"Thank you." Liu Wen raised his hand to signal the police officer behind him, and the police officer immediately took out handcuffs and prepared to handcuff Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng frowned when he saw this.
Liu Wen quickly said, "Just in case, please put it on, sir. This is also the rule. Please understand."
Li Yancheng looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi smiled, "Captain Liu, this isn't a good idea. He's just a suspect, not a criminal."
Liu Wen said, "We are the Unnatural Events Management Bureau, so you should know who we are dealing with. The handcuffs are only for the safety of the officers and to prevent the suspect from escaping. Old Master Lin also knows this. I hope you can understand, don't you agree, Old Master Lin?"
Lin, who appeared calm on the surface but was panicking inside as he was trying to figure out how to distance himself from the matter after it was exposed, immediately came to his senses and nodded, "Indeed, Yan Xi, don't say any more."
It seems that the ancestor can no longer be saved, so he can only find another way to strengthen himself and revive the Lin family.
Thinking of this, Old Master Lin looked at Yan Xi with eyes full of calculation and determination.
Yan Xi lowered his eyes, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, "Grandfather is right."
Li Yancheng just followed them, and Yan Xi looked at the people who were walking away without saying a word.
Seeing this, Old Master Lin slowly stood up with the help of his cane, glanced at him, and said in a muffled voice, "Come with me to the study."
Yan Xi smiled calmly and said, "Yes."
