Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 136 Take me back, I’m scared!
Lin Xin believed her words. She didn't have the courage to lie in such a situation.

So now the question is, who released the snake?
She probably knew who had caused Lin Duo to cause trouble for her. It should be Fu Jing. So, could it be that he was the one who did the poisonous snake? Arranging Lin Duo was not enough, so she arranged another poisonous snake herself?
Mo Ziyuan on the tree had similar ideas to her, but he thought more. Fu Jing was not like Gao Yong and the others who stood firmly in the prince's camp from the beginning. He joined later.

The Fu family was once a prominent family, and unlike the Mo family, their ancestors had produced several Taifu, making them a truly noble family.

It’s a pity that the younger generations failed to inherit the talents of their ancestors. Each generation became less and less literate. By the time of Fu Jing’s father’s generation, he had given up writing and turned to literature, but he was unable to achieve anything remarkable.

Fu Jing is considered the most promising grandson of the Fu family in recent generations. Not only is he quite skilled in martial arts, but he is also quite talented in literature. He originally wanted to take the imperial examination to bring the Fu family back on track.

But at that time, the Grand Tutor controlled the government and had expressed his desire to win over the Fu family more than once.

The old man of the Fu family, Fu Jing's grandfather, supported the orthodoxy, that is, the prince, and did not accept the recruitment of the Grand Tutor and the third prince. Since then, the Fu family has been suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.

Meng Yixuan and Fu Jing studied under the same martial arts master, so they could be considered fellow disciples in name. The Meng family was also a die-hard supporter of the prince, and after learning about the Fu family's situation, they introduced Fu Jing to the prince.

In this way, Fu Jingcai joined their small group.

Now Mo Ziyuan doubts whether Fu Jing is sincere in joining the prince's side. After all, Lin Tao is also in Lin Xin's house. The snake may not be targeting Lin Xin, and what about Lin Tao?
He first bribed Lin Duo to do the superficial work, and then he did something behind the scenes.

Mo Ziyuan broke out in a cold sweat at the thought. If he hadn't discovered it early, the drug on the snake wouldn't have worn off. Perhaps Lin Tao would be a corpse by now. How would he explain this to His Majesty? Lin Xin's family would also be implicated. If they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

Plus her background has not been confirmed yet.

The more Mo Ziyuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He broke off a branch from the tree and hit Lin Duo on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. Then he jumped down from the tree.

"What happened? Is there something up there?" Lin Xin raised her head and looked at the branch where he had just been.

"No, I have something to tell you." Mo Ziyuan eagerly pulled Lin Xin into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Lin Xin struggled instinctively, but gave up after hearing his rapid and intense heartbeat, and fell obediently into his arms.

The two of them hugged each other like this for quite a while before Mo Ziyuan managed to calm down. He let go of Lin Xin a little, but kept one hand firmly around her waist.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xin asked, sensing his uneasiness.

"I..." Mo Ziyuan told Lin Xin his guess dryly, then stubbornly pulled her into his arms and said fiercely, "You can't let me go just because of Fu Jing. I won't allow it!"

Lin Xin patted him on the back in amusement, "Don't worry, I won't take my anger out on you."

"Oh!" Mo Ziyuan put his head on her shoulder and responded listlessly.

"Okay, let's talk about some serious business. I don't think it was necessarily Fu Jing who did this. Of course, he can't get away with instructing Lin Duo, but he may not be the one who released the snake."

"why?"

"My intuition tells me that although I haven't known him for a long time, I can feel that he is actually a very pure person. His likes and dislikes are all shown on his face. He occasionally plays some tricks, but he is really incapable of doing anything bad." "Hehe, you do understand him." Mo Ziyuan said sourly.

"That's enough!" Lin Xin patted his head gently. "Now we have to find the person who released the snake. Regardless of whether that person was targeting me or Taotao, it's not a good feeling to have someone hiding in the dark, ready to bite us at any moment."

"Since it's not Fu Jing, then he must be the person who came with me to pick up Taotao and bring him back to the capital. I didn't expect that even after the Third Prince died, there would still be someone so obsessed with killing His Majesty's offspring. Isn't he afraid of having his entire clan exterminated?" Mo Ziyuan said angrily.

"He doesn't necessarily have to be a diehard fan of the Third Prince. Think about it from another perspective. Didn't you say that Taotao is the definite candidate for the crown prince? Couldn't it be that someone who wants to become the queen wants to take action against Taotao?" Lin Xin offered another idea.

"This..." Mo Ziyuan was speechless. He actually felt that what Lin Xin said was damn reasonable.

"So go check it out! I think this person should have come back with you, so start with them!"

"Okay." Mo Ziyuan turned and tried to leave, but then stopped and pointed at Lin Duo and asked, "What should we do with her?"

"You don't have to worry about her. Have you forgotten my abilities?" Lin Xin asked with a smile.

Mo Ziyuan also laughed. He was really dumb. Lin Xin had the ability to "hide the world from her sleeve." Wouldn't it be easy for her to lead someone down the mountain? After all, that was how she brought Lin Duo up.

"Okay, then you should be careful and go home as soon as you are done. I have to go back first." He reminded her worriedly.

"I understand, go ahead!"

Mo Ziyuan hugged her tightly again and went down the mountain reluctantly.

After his footsteps faded from her ears, Lin Xin turned around and looked at Lin Duo, her eyes filled with coldness. "Lin Duo, Lin Duo, I was ready to let you go, but you jumped out again and asked for death. If I keep putting up with this, you'll probably think I really have a good temper! Since you're so stubborn, you'd better not run out and hurt others in the future. Just lie back at home and enjoy the care of your family! Humph!"

Lin Xin waved her hand, and the vines tied to Lin Duo loosened automatically, wrapped around her wrists, and swayed back and forth in a flattering manner.

"Okay, okay," Lin Xin was tickled by it, so she patted it and sent it some wood energy. The little vine twisted with joy, and after a while it retracted into its own territory.

At this time, Lin Zhi, who was lying on the ground, hummed and slowly opened his eyes.

When she saw what was around her clearly, her eyes widened in horror and a sharp scream came out of her mouth.

Mo Ziyuan didn't use much force to knock Lin Duo unconscious. He was awakened by Lin Zhi's scream and found that he, who should have been tied up, was lying under the tree. His hair and vines on his body were gone. The first thought that came to his mind was to run away quickly.

Then she heard Lin Zhi's scream.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Lin Zhi's small body curled up into a ball, holding his head with both hands and screaming desperately.

Lin Duo rolled and crawled to her side and slapped her twice in the face. "Idiot, if you scream again, you'll attract the wolves. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Seeing that the person in front of her was Lin Duo, Lin Zhi didn't care about the slap on her face at all. She threw herself into Lin Duo's arms and cried, "Sister, sister, where is this? How did we get here? Sister, please take me back quickly, I'm scared!"
