Chapter 029 (Update 1)
The good and evil radar system locked onto Zhang Mei, and her information immediately appeared in front of Lin Shuyue. Her good and evil value was 15%, which means that this woman was evil, but this evil was not to the extent of committing a crime.
Lin Shuyue didn't know whether she knew about what Lin Jianxin had done.
Behind the cashier counter on the first floor, there is a small office where customers stop. Every time Lin Jianxin comes to the store, he has to sit in this office for a long time.
Lin Shuyue watched the couple enter the office, and when she saw the right opportunity, she threw the button camera out, and the camera stopped at the crack of the door.
The small undercover camera started recording automatically, and because of the tricky angle, it captured Zhang Mei and Lin Jianxin's faces clearly.
The good and evil discrimination system popped up automatically. Under Lin Shuyue's command, it connected to the working button camera, separated a small window, and synchronously played the content captured by the undercover camera.
This is a new function after the upgrade of the good and evil system, and it is very powerful.
The waiter brought the dishes that Lin Shuyue ordered. Lin Shuyue told Zeng Xiaoyi to eat quickly, while keeping her attention on the screen in front of her.
Zeng Xiaoyi knew that Lin Shuyue was here to do serious business, so she didn't say much and just focused on eating. She didn't eat fast, but she never left her mouth empty.
In the small window of the good and evil discrimination system, Zhang Mei and Lin Jianxin stood opposite each other. She questioned Lin Jianxin: "Lin Jianxin, what do you mean? You must explain it to me today."
Judging from what Zhang Mei said, the two started arguing in the car.
The smile on Lin Jianxin's face disappeared completely amid Zhang Mei's questioning.
He looked at Zhang Mei with impatience on his face: "Zhang Mei, can you please stop being unreasonable? You are treating me like a prisoner now. Is that fun?"
Zhang Meiren was fat and felt very tired after standing for such a while, so she pulled a wooden chair and sat down. The love she had in her eyes when she looked at Lin Jianxin was gone, and it was full of hatred: "Lin Jianxin, you caused my mother's tragic death, my father's stroke, and all my property fell into your hands. Don't even think about abandoning me and Yongyi."
"Zhang Mei, can you be reasonable? Yongyi is a girl who will get married sooner or later. Is it wrong for me to want a son to inherit my family line?" Lin Jianxin looked at Zhang Mei with disappointment.
It was as if Zhang Mei had done something really wrong.
If before, Zhang Mei saw Lin Jianxin looking at her with such disappointment, she would definitely be terrified and reflect on what she had done wrong. But she doesn't think so anymore.
"How can I be unreasonable? This Huanxianglou belongs to my Zhang family, Yongyi is my daughter, what's wrong with her inheriting Huanxianglou in the future? It makes sense no matter where you go! You are a son-in-law who came to your house, and you still want a son to inherit your incense. This statement is really ridiculous, Lin Jianxin."
"Lin Jianxin, isn't your face burning when you say this? Huanxianglou is our Zhang family's property, not yours, Lin Jianxin, and certainly not the Lin family's! Are you worthy of saying this, Lin Jianxin!"
"Besides, didn't you already have a son to inherit your family line? You gave him away, Lin Jianxin. Have you even forgotten this?" As Lin Jianxin's bedside companion, Zhang Mei knew from the beginning that Lin Jianxin had given his son away. She just kept it a secret because she was a vested interest.
Giving away his only son was the biggest pain in Lin Jianxin's life: "Why should I give Ayang away? Zhang Mei, don't you know what's going on? If your father and mother hadn't pushed me too hard, would I have given him away? If your family of three hadn't said that you were pregnant with a boy, would I have been willing to give him away?"
When Lin Jianxin was together with Zhang Mei, she got pregnant before marriage and did it without asking for permission later. Zhang Mei is stupid, but her parents are not people who can be easily fooled.
What Lin Jianxin did back then was not some untraceable secret. When you heard that he had many women outside and had two daughters and a son at home, you would know why he hooked up with Zhang Mei.
But Zhang Mei was not only pregnant, she also cried and made a fuss at home, insisting on marrying anyone but Lin Jianxin. And Zhang's parents only had Zhang Mei as their daughter. In the end, they couldn't persuade her and agreed to the marriage.
But agreeing to the marriage is one thing, and letting Lin Jianxin enter Huanxianglou is another. After all, it is hard to say whether the baby in Zhang Mei's belly is a boy or a girl, but Lin Jianxin already has a son.
If he is allowed to enter Huanxianglou now, given Lin Jianxin's personality and the fact that he has a son, it is still unknown who will own Huanxianglou in the future.
So Zhang's parents proposed to test Lin Jianxin's loyalty. And this loyalty meant that Lin Jianxin sent his only son away. It’s no use keeping Lou Fengqin, she must be sent away.
Lin Jianxin hesitated for only three months before agreeing. And action was taken on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhang's parents felt heartbroken but also very proud. After all, they saw how much Lin Jianxin loved his son. Now, for the sake of their family, he even gave up his son. How could they not be proud?
Especially Zhang Mei, for a long time, she regarded this incident as proof that Lin Jianxin loved her.
"Don't say those useless things. Xiaorou is pregnant now. I took her to the hospital for a scan and found that she is carrying a boy. If you are willing to raise the child, I will take the child back. If you don't want to, then we can divorce. I am the legal representative of Huanxianglou now. If we divorce, you will get nothing except the house you live in now."
After saying that, Lin Jianxin slammed the door and left. Zhang Mei sat in the office, covering her face, motionless.
Lin Jianxin got in the car and drove away.
Lin Shuyue slowly finished the meal with Zeng Xiaoyi. The Zhang family might not be a good family, but the food in the restaurant they opened was delicious. It's worth the meal.
After finishing the meal, Lin Shuyue gave Zeng Xiaoyi money to pay the bill, then went to the bathroom and used the water in the bathroom to remove the makeup on her face.
When she came out, a middle-aged man in a suit was talking to Zeng Xiaoyi.
Zeng Xiaoyi had a wary look on her face, and the middle-aged man must have noticed it, so he stopped pestering her and just left after leaving a business card.
Seeing Lin Shuyue, Zeng Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Yue."
Without waiting for Lin Shuyue to speak, she told him the purpose of the middle-aged man's visit: "The man just now said that he was a talent scout. He said that I am good-looking and have the potential to be famous, and he wants to make me a star."
In her previous life, Lin Shuyue had heard many stories about scouts recruiting celebrities on the street, but this was the first time she had seen it in real life. But who can be sure that person is definitely a scout? There are so many scammers in this world. In the previous life, there were news reports of many teenage girls who dreamed of becoming stars and were defrauded of their money and sex by scammers who claimed to be scouts.
She took the business card from Zeng Xiaoyi and looked at it: Xingda Media, Lu Jingfang. Lin Shuyue is not closed
She had noticed the entertainment company and secretly memorized the name, planning to ask Huang Qiang about it when she had time.
Lin Shuyue returned the business card to Zeng Xiaoyi and said to her, "You do have the potential to be a star, you are very beautiful. But Xiaoyi, the most important thing for you now is to study. If you want to be a star, you can do it after you finish college."
Zeng Xiaoyi has never associated herself with the glamorous stars on TV, and she doesn't think she can be a star. She didn't think she was pretty either. In her opinion, Lin Shuxing and Lin Shuyue were much prettier than her. She casually put the card in her pocket.
Holding Lin Shuyue's arm, he walked out: "Sister Yue, where are we going?"
This is a good question. While answering her question, Lin Shuyue called Lou Fengqin at home and took the time to answer Zeng Xiaoyi: "Let's settle the bill."
When Lou Fengqin received Lin Shuyue's call, she was completely stunned. She grabbed the phone and looked blankly at the street scene where it was still drizzling.
After a long while, she turned around and looked at the tall man two steps away: "Lao Bai, Ah Yue just called and said that there is news about Ah Yang's whereabouts."
The Lao Bai mentioned by Lou Fengqin is called Bai Wenhua. He is the captain of the family search team that Lou Fengqin joined.
Hearing Lou Fengqin's words, he showed joy on his face: "Ah Feng, this is good news. We have been looking for Ah Yang for fourteen years, but there is no clue. Now we finally have some clues. You should be happy."
Yes, if it were normal times, she should be happy and excited when she got the clue about Ayang, but thinking about what Lin Shuyue just said on the phone, Lou Fengqin couldn't be happy.
"My daughter A Yue said that A Yang was sent away by Lin Jianxin."
The smile on Bai Wenhua's face froze. He and Lou Fengqin had been looking for the child together for ten years, and Bai Wenhua already knew Lou Fengqin's family very well.
Over the years, he has seen many children who were sent away by their relatives.
After a long silence, he finally said, "No matter what, Ah Feng, knowing the whereabouts of the child is a good thing."
After all, Lou Fengqin is someone who has seen a lot of storms. After such a short while, she had calmed down and said, "Yes, you are right. Knowing the whereabouts of Ayang is a good thing."
"Ayue said she went to pick up Axing. Let's go directly to Lin Jianxin's house and wait for him."
"Okay." The two walked towards Bai Wenhua's black SUV together.
Lin Shuyue picked up Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun at the entrance of Linjia Village.
Both of them looked unhappy.
After getting in the car, Luo Zhengjun glanced at Lin Shuxing and handed a black recorder to Lin Shuyue, who turned on the recorder.
The conversation between Lin Shuxing and Lin Yongfu was heard in the car.
"Brother Afu, why did you want to go to town to play when Ayang went missing?"
"It wasn't that I had to go. My second uncle told me that the store in town had a new car toy. I said I wanted to take a look, so my second uncle said he would take us to buy some."
"Did he buy you any toy cars later?"
"I bought it. Later he said he would take us to a noodle shop to eat noodles. We went there, and almost as soon as we turned around, Ayang was gone."
The conversation was very short, but from these few sentences, one could tell that Lin Jianxin had ulterior motives.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Shuxing still couldn't accept it when his guess was confirmed.
She leaned against the car window, watching the rain getting heavier outside. After a long while, she spoke: "Ayue, what kind of person can be so cold-hearted? It's OK if he doesn't like us. There are many people who favor boys over girls, and he is not the only one."
"What about Ayang? He likes Ayang so much. Every time he comes back from working outside, he will bring delicious food for Ayang, and every time he will buy Ayang new clothes and toys." Lin Jianxin doesn't like her and her sister, but Lin Shuxing doesn't think it's a big deal because her mother often tells her that she, like Ayue and Ayang, is her mother's treasure.
Lin Shuxing never cared about Lin Jianxin's love.
What about Ayang? Ayang likes Lin Jianxin very much. He admires Lin Jianxin very much. In Ayang's heart, Lin Jianxin, who brings him all kinds of gifts, is like a god.
Ayang, who was only three years old, would even count on his hands when Lin Jianxin would come to see him.
That Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Jianxin came, and Ayang was very excited and happy.
Didn’t Lin Jianxin feel bad when he gave Ayang away? Don't you feel guilty?
Lin Jianxin was driving the car while letting the system transfer the content recorded by the button camera to the recorder.
She handed the recorder to Lin Shuxing, who listened to every word of the argument between Zhang Mei and Lin Jianxin.
After listening to this, Lin Shuxing covered his face and said, "Beast, beast, selfish."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and no one in the car spoke.
When they arrived at the gate of Lin Jianxin's community, Lou Fengqin was already there.
The rain had stopped at this time. Lou Fengqin listened to the recordings on the two recorders and gritted her teeth and continued to curse the beast.
The group went to Lin Jianxin's home.
Lin Jianxin currently lives in a villa that Zhang Zhenfa bought after he became rich. She lives in the same residential complex as Teacher Liu's family, but her house is much smaller than Teacher Liu's.
Lin Shuyue and her group walked to the door of his house, and Zhang Mei just came out of the house carrying a handbag.
When Lou Fengqin saw Zhang Mei, all her new and old hatreds came to her mind. She rolled up her sleeves and ran towards Zhang Mei, slapping her directly on the face, which was as white as a steamed bun.
Zhang Mei was stunned by Lou Fengqin's beating: "Lou Fengqin, are you sick? Why are you hitting me?"
Her voice was so sharp that it hurt people's ears. Lin Shuxing walked over and held her hand to prevent her long nails from scratching Lou Fengqin.
Lin Shuyue stood aside to protect Lin Shuxing and Lou Fengqin. Zhang Mei knew that Ayang was sent away by Lin Jianxin, and even the proposal to send Ayang away was made by their Zhang family.
Lin Jianxin is hateful, and Zhang Mei is hateful too! Especially in the many years that followed, when Lou Fengqin was looking for Ayang, she even made sarcastic remarks. Putting aside other things, just based on the last point, Zhang Mei did not deserve the beating.
"What? What? You still have the nerve to ask!" Lou Fengqin grabbed Zhang Mei's exquisitely permed short curly hair and slapped her face, saying, "Zhang Mei, how can you be so cruel! How old was Ayang fourteen years ago? She was only three years old! How can your family not even accommodate a child! He was awarded to me, what does he have to do with Lin Jianxin?"
Zhang Mei screamed and her mouth was swollen.
"Why are you in the Zhang family so vicious? Ah?" Lou Fengqin felt a pang of pain in her heart as she thought of her well-behaved and obedient Ayang.
Fourteen years. In these fourteen years, she has traveled to many places and met many abducted children.
Some of them are doing okay, but more of them are not doing well.
Countless times at night, Lou Fengqin dreamed that Ayang was beaten with a bloody head. He kept shouting and saying, "Mom, it hurts, Mom, it hurts, save me, save me!"
Zhang Mei's struggle slowed down, but she felt guilty about this matter.
Lou Fengqin slapped her several more times, and finally cried out in choking pain: "Zhang Mei, you and your family are all beasts."
There was no shortage of people in the wealthy families in the villa area who loved to watch the fun. In just a short while, people from both sides of the Zhang family had already walked into the yard to watch. People who live farther away are also gathering here.
The door of Zhang's house also opened, and a girl who looked similar to Zhang Mei and was also fat came out pushing a wheelchair with a skinny old man sitting in it.
Zhang Zhenfa looked at the people in the yard and felt heavy in his heart. He knew that if he had asked Lin Jianxin to deal with Lin Shuyang's matter, it would not end well. His brain was racing.
Finally, looking at Lou Fengqin who was being helped by Lin Shuyue and her sister to wipe her tears, he said in a deep voice: "Lou Fengqin, it was our Zhang family who let you down for what happened back then. But we don't know where Lin Jianxin sent your child."
Zhang Zhenfa has been recovering relatively well in the two years since his stroke. Although he still has a lisp and strange intonation when speaking, one can still clearly understand what he is saying.
"Back then, we only mentioned a few times that he had a son and that the Zhang family's property couldn't fall into the hands of outsiders. He took the initiative to send your son away. From beginning to end, we in the Zhang family never interfered in the matter of giving your son away." Zhang Zhenfa repeated it again, perhaps because he was afraid that Lin Shuyue and the others would not believe him.
