Sheng Zexi left Mr. Lu’s office.
In the next few days, everything seed very calm, as if nothing had happened.
But Sheng Zexi knew that it was the calm before the storm.
Sure enough.
One day, all the Lin Family mbers were arrested.
When they were taken away, it was so sudden that everyone in the military district was caught off guard.
It seed like just the next day, when everyone woke up, they heard that the entire Lin Family had been arrested.
"How could the Lin Family be arrested like this? Isn’t Father Lin our second-in-command? Who else could arrest him? Could it be the first-in-command?"
"The whole family was arrested? Could it be that the whole family committed a cri?"
"I know so inside information."
"What, what inside information?"
"I heard that the Lin Family mbers are all from Country R!"
"What, people from Country R? How is that possible? Lin Chushi and the others have lived on Huan Sha Island for decades."
"That’s what makes it scary. They have been lurking for decades, it’s terrifying. Who knows what they’re up to."
"I heard that Lin Chushi’s brother, after learning he was from Country R and couldn’t handle it, wanted to expose them, so Lin Chushi killed him and made it look like he drowned at sea."
"Oh my god, could it be true? If they really are from Country R, then they deserve to die."
No one had a good impression of people from Country R, given the national resentnt and personal grudges involved.
"It must be true, otherwise why would the entire Lin Family be arrested so quickly?"
...
The suddenly arrested Father Lin and Lin Chushi were bewildered.
How did they suddenly get exposed?
When Father Lin saw the letters they found in his secret room, he was despondent.
He was completely unable to defend himself.
Decades of hard work, almost reaching success in a few more years, but it failed right at the end.
Father Lin felt very aggrieved.
But what shocked Father Lin even more was yet to co.
"What, what are you saying, my eldest son, Lin Chuchen, was killed by my younger son?"
"No, that’s impossible!"
"Lin Chushi has already admitted it."
This news felt like a thunderbolt to Father Lin.
Soon, Father Lin confronted Lin Chushi, his eyes wide open with fury, "Why, why did you kill your brother? He didn’t accidentally drown in the sea during a typhoon, did he!"
The captured Lin Chushi, at this point, seed resigned to his fate. Faced with his father’s questioning, he sneered and said, "Yes, yes, I killed him."
"I lured him to the seaside, held his neck with my own hands, and drowned him in the sea."
Father Lin’s eyes widened, bloodshot, "Why, Lin Chushi, he was the brother who loved you the most since childhood, how could you do this? You’re a beast."
"Yes, I am a beast, but it was being fathered by an old beast that gave birth to this little beast in ."
"You could choke your own wife to death, so what’s wrong with drowning my brother?"
Father Lin’s eyes widened as he subconsciously stepped back.
"You, you..."
"You want to ask how I know? Because I was hiding in the corner at the ti."
"Also, don’t bla , I drowned him for his own good, and yours too."
Father Lin laughed in anger, "What kind of logic is that?"
"It’s the truth. You should know how upright your eldest son is, right? You know how unbelievable it was for him to suddenly learn he had Country R blood? You know he was planning to sacrifice his family loyalty for justice?"
"If I hadn’t killed him, you would’ve been caught decades ago. Would you still enjoy being the second-in-command in the military district for these decades, living in high regard?"
Father Lin clutched his chest, too angry to speak, "You, you..."
Lin Chushi ignored his father’s attitude.
Anyway, they had already been exposed and arrested. Their fate was predictable.
Except...
I don’t know how ii is doing?
If she knows I was arrested, what will she think?
On Zhang Qiui’s side, life in prison hasn’t been long, but it was already unbearable for her.
She was desperately eager to get out.
She also knew that asking Sheng Zexi or Gu Jia Ning for help was useless.
Now, the only person she could rely on was Lin Chushi.
She had to bet that Lin Chushi still liked her, and considering she was carrying his child.
Lin Chushi wouldn’t just leave her alone, would he?
Thus, Zhang Qiui regretted her initial attitude toward Lin Chushi.
She shouldn’t have cursed him, she should soften her stance and ask him to find a way to rescue her.
Didn’t Lin Chushi say their family had a high status in the military district?
With Father Lin as the second-in-command, surely they could figure sothing out.
So, Zhang Qiui thought that next ti she saw Lin Chushi, she must cajole him properly.
Unexpectedly, she waited and waited, for a long ti, but Lin Chushi never arrived.
What’s going on?
Could it be that Lin Chushi has abandoned her too?
Not wanting this wife and the child in her belly, planning to marry soone else?
"I want to see Lin Chushi, you tell him I want to see him, tell him to co and see imdiately!"
"You want to see Lin Chushi? I’m afraid you won’t be able to." the soldier guarding Zhang Qiui said.
"Why?"
"Did Lin Chushi abandon ? He’s planning to remarry?"
"Not exactly. Lin Chushi himself was arrested, oh no, the entire Lin family was."
"What? The Lin family was arrested, no, impossible, you must be lying to ."
"What good would lying do ? The entire Lin family has Country R blood, they were Country R infiltrators, why wouldn’t they be arrested? Even the child in your belly has Country R blood."
The soldier’s words made Zhang Qiui feel as though the sky had fallen.
And left her in a state of shock.
She never expected it to be for such a reason.
The Lin Family mbers were all from Country R, even the child in her belly...
Zhang Qiui sat on the ground in complete despair, finally realizing she had no chance of leaving here anymore.
-
A week after the Lin Family mbers were arrested, the report about them also ca out.
Just as the rumors among the people stated.
The Lin Family mbers were people from Country R!
"Luckily, they were caught. Otherwise, who knows what bad things these hateful Country R infiltrators would have done during all these years on Huan Sha Island."
"Did you see? It was the Lin Family that desperately said Doctor Gu was talking nonsense about the impending typhoon. I think the Lin Family just wouldn’t mind seeing us die."
"It was indeed Sheng Group who exposed the true face of the Lin Family. He is amazing, not long after coming to Huan Sha Island, he helped us uncover this hidden threat!"
