Chapter 68: The Secret Compartment in Lin Zizhen's Room



Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Gu An got his meal and sat down next to Wang Teng, but he didn't have time to ask him anything.

"Godfather, you're finally back. Let me tell you, I successfully confessed my love to Yan Da Ti! Hahahaha..."

Wang Teng grabbed Gu An's arm tightly with both hands and shook it violently.

"Are you crazy? I just agreed to help you with your homework, but you're saying it like I'm agreeing to date you."

"Well, almost. You know, she agreed to come to my house this weekend. I have to make preparations and ask my dad to give up his study. It's wonderful."

Gu An curled his lips, looking down on his best friend's smug look. This guy was definitely a mean-spirited person who had achieved success.

"Son, don't blame your adoptive father for not warning you. Never drag the squad leader to play games, or you will die miserably."

None of the games were serious, and Gu An was worried that Yan Feifei would not be able to control herself and beat him up.

Wang Teng's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: "Hey, what a good idea! Why didn't I think of it? This will definitely enhance the relationship between me and my thigh."

Gu An pinched his brows with both hands. It was really hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words. Let him do whatever he wanted.

In Lin Zizhen's ward.

Lin Quan lowered his eyes and thought. Among his three daughters, Lin Jingyi was still in the United States and was temporarily unavailable.

He glanced at his youngest daughter, then finally at his eldest daughter, Lin Hui. She was the calmest and most rational one.

"Did you and your daughter have a smooth trip to visit the old man in the villa?" Yao Xin asked, looking up.

"Mom, I was just about to say that Gu An arrived before us this morning. Grandpa wanted to give him 15% of the group's shares. Gu An was about to sign, but luckily I stopped him and got the transfer agreement." Lin Jingjing said proudly.

"Why didn't you bring him here? Our good son has suffered so much injustice, it would be a good idea to transfer the shares to Zizhen."

"Mom, the group's shareholders' meeting is about to be held. I asked Dad to stay at home first. Let's talk about it later." Lin Hui said lightly.

Noticing her father's abnormality, she had a guess in her mind.

At the same time, I am also curious about what happened.

"Well, I'll put it in the safe. It won't be too late after Zizhen recovers and is discharged from the hospital. What do you think, Zizhen?" Lin Quan spoke expressionlessly, with a hint of indifference in his low voice.

"Mom and Dad, I'm not in a hurry. I'm still young and don't know how to manage a company." Lin Zizhen was dissatisfied with his father and elder sister but didn't dare to show it obviously.

It's just a signature. His hands can still move, they're not disabled.

"It's best if you can understand. Just focus on recuperating. Your eighteenth birthday will be coming soon. Tell your mother if there's anything you want."

The reasons given by the eldest daughter and her husband were very convincing, which made Yao Xin put her mind at ease for the time being.

Sooner or later it would be given to her son anyway, so she turned around and said to Lin Zizhen with a smile: "Yes, yes, son, whatever gift you want, mom will buy you."

"Your second sister is fine now. I'll ask your eldest sister to bring her back in a couple of days to celebrate your birthday with you."

"Jingyi contacted you?" Lin Quan was surprised. This was something his second daughter couldn't understand the most.

"Yes, she just called Zizhen via video this morning. We chatted for a while. I think Jingyi is in good spirits. She said she's recovering well."

Yao Xin knew that her second daughter loved her younger brother and would definitely want to come back to attend his coming-of-age ceremony.

"Through the company's operations, the heat of that incident has dissipated. If my second sister wants to come back, I will arrange for her to return before Zizhen's birthday."

Lin Hui suddenly remembered that Gu An’s birthday was a week earlier than Zi Zhen’s, and it was in two days, but she had to ask Qin Ma about the specific date.

Let’s pick out a birthday gift for him as compensation.

"Mom, I'm going to the company first. Zizhen, have a good rest." Lin Hui said lightly and walked out of the ward.

She hadn't walked far when Lin Quan caught up with her from behind and called her.

"Dad, what do you want to ask me?"

Lin Hui was very smart and guessed that her father would come to find her.

"Huihui, you are the smartest in the family. What do you think of Qin Ma?" Lin Quan's eyes were deep, and he spoke in a roundabout way.

"Mother Qin?"

Lin Hui's beautiful eyes flashed with doubt, and she said truthfully, "Mother Qin has been honest and hardworking in our family for the past few years. What happened to her?"

"No. I was just asking." Lin Quan lowered his eyes, the gap in his heart widening again. He had seen the flash of panic that had passed through Lin Zizhen's face before.

Qin Ma wouldn't lie, so the only one who would lie is Zizhen.

"Come home with me first."

Lin Hui said nothing and followed him quietly.

"Sir, Miss, you are back." Qin Ma asked.

"Miss, have you eaten yet? The food is still hot."

"not yet."

"Then wait a moment, I'll bring the food over right away."

Lin Quan sat aside and waited patiently for his daughter to eat lunch. After she finished, he spoke: "Mother Qin, come upstairs with us and open Zizhen's room."

"Yes, sir."

After Lin Zizhen was hospitalized, Qin's mother would open the door and go in to clean every day.

Qin Ma took the lead and went upstairs to open the door for the two of them.

The room is very big, and Lin Quan often brings gifts into the house.

This time he had mixed feelings, to confirm his inner suspicions and to clear his son's name.

The yes or no result will be known soon.

"Huihui, Aunt Qin, please help look for him too."

Lin Hui was even more puzzled, "Dad, what is your brother looking for in his room?"

Lin Quan walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, rummaged through the drawer with his big hands, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Looking for something that doesn't belong here. I hope there isn't anything."

Lin Hui: "Did Zizhen take anything from home?"

"Sir, Miss, there is a secret compartment on the wall behind the framed family photo on Master Zizhen's bedside. It's usually locked."

Mother Qin suddenly remembered this incident. Several times when she came in to clean, she happened to see Lin Zizhen locking the secret compartment.

Lin Quan walked to the head of the bed and took away the photo frame. Sure enough, there was a one-foot square mark on the wall, with a small keyhole in the middle of the mark.

This line is very thin and can be easily overlooked without careful observation.

He pushed and tapped around to hear the sound. There was indeed a difference.

"Mother Qin, where are the young master's keys?"

"Key? I don't know. The young master sat there while I cleaned the room, waiting for me to finish."

Lin Zizhen's room is filled with many stuffed dolls and figurines of all sizes. Some he chose himself, while others were gifts from his three sisters.

Lin Hui raised her head and let her eyes wander around, finally stopping on the Ultraman global limited edition figure that she had given him two years ago.

The golden button on the chest of this Ultraman figure is a switch.

Just press it and Ultraman will transform back into a human.

Lin Hui walked forward, reached out and pressed it gently.

Click~ The figure makes a voice: Do you believe in light?

After it turned back into a human, a small key lay in its palm.

"Dad, is this the key?" Lin Hui picked it up and looked at it in front of her eyes.

Lin Quan took the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it slowly and carefully.

Click~

The secret compartment popped out a finger's distance.

"Huihui, you should take it out and have a look."

Lin Quan stepped aside, his eyes dark.

Lin Hui held the secret compartment with both hands and pulled it out, exclaiming, "Oh my God!"
