Chapter 26 How much are you prepared to pay?
Xu Lin tilted her head and thought for a long time, then slapped her thigh and realized that Wang Mingliang was now the captain of the law enforcement team.
With a target in mind, Xu Lin felt relieved and continued to observe the communication between Brother Tao and the black-faced brother.
The two didn't talk for long before the old man who was guarding the door showed up with four bottles of spray.
Brother Tao reminded them to remember to destroy the bodies and all traces after using the spray and that no news could leak out. The black-faced brother readily agreed.
After Brother Tao saw the black-faced elder brother leave, he felt uneasy and said to the old man:
"Inform them not to come to our house directly in the future. If they need to contact us, they must find another safe meeting place."
"Yes." The old man at the door straightened up and replied. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Do we need to move here?"
"It depends on the situation. If a stranger approaches you in the next few days, no matter who they are, move away immediately."
Xu Lin raised an eyebrow at Tao Ge's words. She didn't expect Tao Ge to be so vigilant. However, if they wanted to relocate, they had to get her consent.
Xu Lin did not rush out to follow the black-faced elder brother, but quietly wandered around the courtyard. She spent more than an hour.
He checked every corner of the courtyard before quietly leaving.
In the office of the captain of the first law enforcement team, Wang Mingliang looked at the two densely written sheets of paper in his hands with an interesting expression on his face.
On these two pieces of paper, the four locations where the spies were hiding were written. Except for the one in the machinery factory compound, the other three locations were clearly written.
They even knew where their secret room was and where the radio station was. If this report was true,
Then there are big fish hiding in these places.
Oh, no, that's not right, poison spray, poisonous gas that can damage the nerves, this!
Wang Mingliang sat up straight immediately. His intuition told him that this was a very important clue.
This case is likely related to a biochemical research institute left behind by an enemy country.
Wang Mingliang's knuckles turned white from the tension he was squeezing, and it was obvious how hard he was squeezing. After thinking for a while, Wang Mingliang slapped the table and stood up.
Damn it!
If what he reported was true, it would be a great achievement and he would get rid of harm to the people. If it was false, at most he would be punished.
Xu Lin, who didn't know that Wang Mingliang had thought so much, solved the big problem and went to the state-owned hotel happily.
First they had a big meal, then they packed up a lot of food and put it in the space before heading to the machinery factory compound.
By the time she returned to the Xu family, it was already dark, and the five members of the Xu family had already eaten, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Of course, it is also possible that they were pretending to sleep to avoid being beaten.
No matter what the situation was, when Xu Lin returned home, all she saw was a cold pot and cold stove.
It was impossible to avoid being beaten. Xu Lin started beating her without saying a word, using the excuse that she had not left any food for her.
After beating all five members of the Xu family, he squatted in front of Xu's father, pinched his neck and asked:
"Why did you sign me up to go to the countryside? I have cut off all ties with you, so why do you rule over me?"
Mr. Xu was strangled so much that his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he almost died.
He slapped Xu Lin's arm with all his strength, reminding her to be gentler, as he was really going to strangle her to death.
Xu's mother, who was lying beside him in agony, was awakened by Xu Lin's questioning. She was shocked and frightened when she saw the miserable state of Xu's father.
Not only did she not dare to step forward to stop Xu Lin's actions, she also rolled and crawled to hide in the corner, fearing that Xu Lin would remember her.
"Let go, let go." Xu's father was choked so hard that tears and saliva were streaming down his face. Just as the crane was about to fly west, Xu Lin finally let go.
She stared coldly into Mr. Xu's eyes, her murderous intent undiminished, and threatened: "You'd better give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise!"
Xu Lin's fingers were crackling. Otherwise, Father Xu knew it very well. It was to kill him, just like he wanted to kill her.
It was a pity that the action was not scheduled to take place today. Father Xu regretted it so much. He should have asked his old friend to send someone over immediately to do the action.
"Here, here." Father Xu replied with difficulty, panting. His throat was sore that it was difficult for him to speak. It took him a long time to recover.
Under Xu Lin's murderous look, Xu's father began to explain.
"You have severed all ties with us, so it's not appropriate for you to live in my house. I think you don't have a place to live in Kyoto, so it would be better for you to go to the countryside and become an educated youth.
You have enough money, so your life in the countryside won't be bad either, don't you think?"
After saying this, Mr. Xu shamelessly put on an expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good, I'm thinking about you," and it looked like he was trying to take credit for it.
But Xu Lin was very angry and slapped him twice.
"Yes, yes, your sister, what's wrong with me not having a house? I have money in my hand, is it difficult for me to rent a house?
Not only can I rent a house, I can also use the money to buy a job. I can obviously live a good life in the city.
Why should I go to the countryside? Why do you rule over me?
Mr. Xu, let me tell you, if you can’t give me a satisfactory answer today, humph!”
Xu Lin narrowed her peach blossom eyes, her murderous aura growing stronger, "Then you will die today. Not only you, but your whole family will die with you."
The sinister threat frightened Mr. Xu. He really didn't expect that his application to go to the countryside would be exposed so quickly.
I should have taken action earlier. If I really can't deal with this little bastard, it's not too late to sign up to go to the countryside later.
Faced with the threat, Xu's father broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that Xu Lin was not joking and she really wanted to kill him.
No, no, he can't die. Father Xu immediately started thinking and rushed to rescue him.
"Linlin, I'm sorry. I took it for granted and made a mistake. Blame me for being so self-willed. Please forgive me for once."
Seeing Xu Lin raise her hand, Xu's father's eyelids jumped, and he quickly said: "I am willing to pay for my mistake."
Xu Lin smiled and asked with narrowed eyes, "How much are you prepared to pay?"
How much is the compensation? Xu's father's eyelids twitched a few times. He felt that if he said less, he would definitely be beaten.
But if he said too much, he would not bear to do it.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xu's father's mind. He couldn't bear to let the little bastard die, and he could get all the small amounts of money back after he died.
No matter how many favorable policies are promised now, they are all empty promises. So what else can he not say or do?
"I am willing to compensate you two thousand dollars. With this two thousand dollars, you can live a luxurious life in the countryside for several years."
"Oh, what about after a few years?" Xu Lin asked calmly, which made Xu's father's face darken. Will he still need to support her after a few years?
"How about I send you another 20 yuan every month?"
Father Xu asked tentatively, thinking that no matter whether you were dead or went to the countryside, no one would send money, so it was still a blank check.
But how could Xu Lin not understand what Xu's father understood? So Xu Lin raised her hands and strangled Xu's father's neck.
That action coupled with Xu Lin's sinister smile made Xu's father's scalp tingle and his renal hormone levels surge.
His intuition told Xu's father that Xu Lin really wanted to kill him.
