Chapter 49: Lin Lan’s Father

Wen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Why can't I just not answer it? Is it Lin Jinshu?"

Qin Xiao nodded, covered his eyes with his hands, and said softly: "It's his phone number! So, I really can't not answer it!"

"He had been missing for seven years and when I saw his number I just couldn't help but answer it."

"Ayan, you know, if I hadn't broken my promise and gone to look for him, he might not have been missing for so many years!"

Wen Yan looked at Qin Xiao's painful expression, and his heart softened. He reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "Qin Xiao, this is not your fault. No one could have predicted what happened back then."

Jia Luo blinked her big eyes, looking confused: "Brother Qin Xiao, who is Lin Jinshu?"

Qin Xiao was silent for a while, then slowly said, "He was a college classmate of your brother and I. Seven years ago, we agreed to go hiking together, but I was delayed by something and didn't go. Since then, he has disappeared and has never appeared again."

Wen Xu and Wen Wen looked at each other, both of them showing worry in their eyes.

Jia Luo tilted his head and looked at Qin Xiao: "But, he just said that my elder brother is also his enemy. Could it be that my elder brother didn't go to the appointment?"

Qin Xiao was slightly stunned, with a complicated look on his face: "No, your elder brother doesn't know about this. I told Jinshu that I would go with your elder brother! But something happened at home that day, and I forgot to tell your elder brother. I called Jinshu, but he didn't answer. I thought he would come back after seeing that I didn't go!"

"Who knew that when I returned to school, he had been missing for several days!"

Jia Luo looked at Qin Xiao thoughtfully, his little face full of seriousness.

Then, she turned to look at Wen Yan, frowned and asked, "Big brother, the bad guy you just said possessed Brother Qin Xiao is Lin Jinshu!"

Wen Yan nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, I won't make a mistake!"

Jia Luo held the back of his head and said doubtfully: "But he is already dead and has turned into a ghost!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Qin Xiao's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly: "Lolo, what did you say? Jinshu... is dead?"

Jia Luo looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, nodded and said, "Yes, and, for some reason, he has become a fierce ghost!"

Wen Xu also asked, "When he went missing, didn't you call the police?"

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly, his voice choking a little: "I reported it, and I went to the mountain where we agreed to meet and searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it!"

Wen Yan frowned and said in a deep voice: "If he is dead and has turned into a fierce ghost, he must have a great grudge. There must be something strange about his disappearance that year."

Qin Xiao's face was filled with pain, and he murmured to himself, "It's understandable. He came from such a remote place and managed to get into that university. How could he disappear for no reason? He hasn't shown up for so many years, but he suddenly called me..."

Jia Luo's face was full of seriousness: "Brother Qin Xiao, he called you, what did he say?"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "No, not a single word, not even a breathing sound!"

"Where's the talisman I gave you?"

Qin Xiao said a little embarrassedly: "I was taking a shower at the time, and the talisman paper was not with me. After I answered the phone, I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was here!"

Jia Luo sighed, took out the talisman paper and said, "Forget it, let's not guess anymore. I'll let him out and ask him and we'll know!"

Wen Wen took a half step back and said, "Lolo, let him out. He won't attack anyone again, will he?"

"Don't worry, I'm here!" He said and patted his chest.

Jia Luo made hand seals and opened the third eye for everyone.

Then, Lin Jinshu was released from the talisman paper.

His face was pale, his lips were red, and he stood up and tried to pounce on everyone.

But the binding technique that Jia Luo had put on him had not yet been removed. Lin Jinshu struggled but could not break free from it.

His eyes were wide open, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Wen Yan looked at Lin Jinshu warily and said in a deep voice: "Jinshu, what happened back then? Why did you die? How did you become a fierce ghost?"

Lin Jinshu opened his mouth, but could only utter eerie roars, as if some force was preventing him from speaking.

Qin Xiao looked at Lin Jinshu's expression and felt heartbroken: "Jinshu, calm down. We have no ill intentions. We just want to know what happened back then."

Jia Luo frowned, a thoughtful look on his face: "What's going on? He seems to be controlled by something and can't speak normally. But he was attached to Brother Qin Xiao just now, so he could still speak!"

Wen Xu and Wen Wen stood aside nervously without saying a word.

Jia Luo formed seals with his hands, and a silver light appeared between his hands. Jia Luo slowly pushed the silver light towards Lin Jinshu, trying to break the restraints on him and the mysterious power that controlled him.

The light enveloped Lin Jinshu. His struggle gradually weakened, but the pain on his face became more and more obvious.

Wen Yan and others watched this scene nervously, not daring to breathe.

After a while, Lin Jinshu finally stopped struggling, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

Jia Luo asked cautiously: "Can you speak now?"

Lin Jinshu opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice: "I... died so unjustly..."

Qin Xiao asked anxiously: "Jinshu, what happened? How did you die? Who made you look like this?"

Lin Jinshu looked at Qin Xiao, his face full of pain, and sneered: "Humph, how could I become like this? Qin Xiao, don't you know?"

"That day, you asked me to go hiking, and said that Wen Yan would come with us. No one knew about this except the three of us. Didn't you tell him where I was?"

"I studied so hard and diligently just to stand in front of him one day and avenge my mother. But before I could do anything, he killed me. Everything was ruined by you two!"

Jia Luo's face was cold, and he said, "What a joke! You were killed, but instead of seeking revenge on the person who killed you, you blamed Brother Qin Xiao and my elder brother. What kind of bastard thinking is this!"

Lin Jinshu snorted coldly and responded: "What do you know? If I could go and seek revenge on him, why would I bother to possess Qin Xiao's body!"

Qin Xiao's face was filled with pain and regret. He said, "Jinshu, I really don't know who you are talking about. I didn't go to the appointment that day because of an emergency at home. I never thought that something like this would happen."

"Besides, Wen Yan didn't know about this at all. I was in a hurry to leave and forgot to tell him."

Lin Jinshu's eyes first flashed with confusion, and then were filled with anger: "Then how did he find me by chance? You must have betrayed me!"

Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Jinshu, calm down. Tell me the details and I will check. I will definitely give you an explanation, okay!"

Lin Jinshu stared at Qin Xiao intently, and only spoke slowly after a moment.

"Lin Shizhang, it was him, he killed me!"

Wen Yan said solemnly: "The current chairman of the Lin Group, Lin Shizhang."

Lin Jinshu nodded painfully: "It's him, he is, he is my father!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened with shock.

Jia Luo tugged at Wen Yan's sleeve and asked in confusion, "Big brother, who is Lin Shizhang?"

"That's Lin Lan's father." Wen Yan replied softly.
