Uncle Zhai agreed, but also told Yang Xile that there was a nationwide crackdown on the medical industry, and the higher-ups were watching very closely. If the Lin family's involvement was not deep, they might still be able to get away with it, but if the mess they made was too big, no one would dare to let them off the hook.
Yang Xile was silent for a moment, then said he understood and would find out the specific details first.
Uncle Zhai told him that he had found Wei Changfeng's private phone number and WeChat account and was about to report it to him when Yang Xile interrupted him.
"No need to say anything more. Don't alarm this person. He has nothing to do with this matter. I don't need his contact information for now."
Uncle Zhai agreed, but after hanging up the phone, he thought about it for a while and still couldn't figure out why Yang Xile asked him to check Wei Changfeng's contact information. Wei Changfeng had nothing to do with the whole thing.
He also checked Wei Changfeng's previous endorsements and found no pharmaceutical products, so it did not involve any cooperation with the Lin Group. He also checked the relationship between Lin Xiao, Lin Haitao and Wei Changfeng, but found no clues. It is likely that the Lin father and daughter did not know him.
After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Uncle Zhai decided to give up and go catch some sleep. Tomorrow, he still had to complete all the work assigned by the chairman, while secretly carrying out the task his son had given him. Doing two jobs with one body, he could only hope that Yang Xile would remember his hard work today after inheriting the group.
Lin Xiao returned to China three days ago and then took the fastest connecting flight home.
The moment I stepped inside, I overheard my sister yelling into the phone, saying that Mr. Feng had framed her father and that she wanted to "die together" with Feng Jinglin! You can imagine the chaos that ensued at home.
The servants wisely hid in the servants' room, and the whole room was a mess with no one cleaning up. There were even unwashed dishes and several takeout boxes piled up on the dining table!
Seeing Lin Xiao return, several servants cautiously came out to greet him. Lin Xiao glanced at them and said sternly, "Our business hasn't collapsed yet, and we're still paying everyone's wages normally, right? Why is no one doing any work?!"
Seeing this, Wang Ma quickly joined the others in cleaning up, and everyone busied themselves with the task.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xiao went to the bedroom to see her stepmother. Her stepmother was disheveled and had long lost her former arrogant and domineering air. She even seemed a little dazed when she saw Lin Xiao enter. After confirming that it was her stepmother who had returned from France, she suddenly stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears.
Lin Xiao felt a pang of sadness. Even though she was usually harsh to her, they had been a family under the same roof for eight years. She had never seen her stepmother so disheveled and vulnerable.
His stepmother hugged him, crying and sobbing, saying, "Go and persuade Xue'er. Xue'er is going to fight that bastard Feng Jinglin to the death! She says that his family ruined her father and our family."
"Auntie, I'll go talk to Xiaoxue later. How's my dad? Do you know where he's locked up? They won't even let us visit him, will they?" Lin Xiao asked his stepmother.
The stepmother said intermittently that she had found out where the person was being held and that they could send clothes to the person. She had visited the place once and found that their passports and ID cards had been confiscated, including hers and Xiaoxue's. They were all prohibited from leaving the country until the matter was clarified.
Lin Xiao was shocked. She realized that she might not be able to return to France anytime soon. She finally understood why her father had insisted that she obtain French citizenship, and why Yang Xile had also advised her to do so, because it was a "safety net." It turned out that everyone was smart, except for her, who had never considered the situation she might be facing now.
But none of that matters now. As long as her father doesn't go to jail and can get out safely, it doesn't matter if she can't go abroad again or get the degree that she only has six months left. As long as her father can get through this crisis safely.
"No, there was no torture, right? How is Dad doing?" Lin Xiao asked his stepmother worriedly.
"No, don't worry. Interrogations are recorded now, so no one will do anything wrong. Besides, your father's problem is just financial, not murder or robbery, so no one will torture him. Your father is doing quite well; he's even gained two pounds since he was out there. He told me that his schedule is more regular now, and he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, nor does he have to worry about the company's business, so he's gained weight."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao finally burst into tears. No matter how bad her father was in the eyes of the world, or how unjust he was from a legal perspective, she knew that his journey had not been easy, and that he had suffered a great deal of torment day and night.
She wiped away her tears and prepared to go downstairs to see Xiaoxue.
My sister has already gone back to her room and had a big argument with her fiancé, Feng Jinglin, on the phone. She is exhausted now.
Lin Xiao gently pushed open her door and saw that she was resting on the bed, so he didn't go in to disturb her.
The moment she closed the door, Lin Xue turned over and buried herself in the blankets, bursting into tears. The lover she had secretly loved for years, the lover she had schemed to snatch from her sister, was actually so despicable.
His father betrayed her father, and he claimed to be completely unaware of it. He showed little remorse for the Lin family's current predicament, instead emphasizing that his family was the worst off, with his grandfather and father both imprisoned! Not only were all their assets frozen, but his grandfather's reputation was also ruined!
People don't easily reveal their selfishness unless it's a critical moment, because everyone wants to show their best side. Only when life and death are at stake can you see a person's true nature.
Lin Xiao realized this a little over a year earlier than Lin Xue, right when Feng Jinglin resolutely broke up with her.
Lin Xiao forced herself to rest because she hadn't slept for a day and a night, and there were still many things to do the next day. She wanted to do her best to reduce her father's punishment as much as possible.
