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

Chapter 17 Should I... Report to the Police?
At this time, the voice of Old Man Lin in the room gradually became lower and finally stopped.

After a while, Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao San looked at each other, supported each other and walked over, gently pushed open the door and carefully looked into the room.

Old Man Lin had regained consciousness by now, but he had no recollection of what had happened before. He only felt his throat was very dry, as if he had talked too much. He looked around the room and saw that it was in a mess. The quilt had fallen to the ground, and there were several brown stains on it besides a black footprint. The kang table was also overturned to the side, and the whole room looked like it had been robbed.

He couldn't understand why the house became like this after he slept, and... and he felt pain all over his body. Could it be that someone beat me up while I was sleeping last night?
Just as I was making random guesses, the door was pushed open a little, and the heads of Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao Er poked in stealthily.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly. Why is the house in this state? Where is your mother? Ahem, hurry up and pour me a glass of water. My throat hurts so badly." Old man Lin said unhappily.

"Oh," Boss Lin pushed Lin Lao San from behind, motioning him to go in first. Lin Lao San grabbed Boss Lin's collar with his backhand and pulled him in as he went in.

"Dad, drink some water." Walking around the mess on the ground, Lin Lao San brought a glass of water and handed it to Old Man Lin. Old Man Lin took it and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel his dry throat felt a little better.

"What happened at home? Where is your mother?" he asked again.
Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao San looked at their father's strange expression. Lin Lao Da asked tentatively: "Dad, don't you remember what you did last night?"

"Last night?" Old Man Lin thought of what he had discussed with his wife before going to bed and asked, "What did I do? Where's your mother?"

"Dad, I don't know why you went crazy last night. You pinned my mom down and beat her up. We couldn't stop you, and it was my brother who called my sixth uncle and the villagers to pull you away. You almost beat my mom to death, and you don't even remember it?" Lin Lao San was impatient and started telling her what happened yesterday.

"Crazy? Me? Beat your mother? Why don't I remember it?" The suspicious look on Old Man Lin's face became even more intense.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Boss Lin and Lin Lao San were dumbfounded and simply called the old patriarch in again.

At the same time, Lin Xin was also asking the villagers in the yard what had happened last night. When Old Man Lin was at her house that day, he was very secretive about Lin Lao Er's life experience. How come he told everything in just one night?

Then she pieced together the answer from everyone's responses.

Last night, Uncle Lin Liu, a neighbor of the Lin family, was called by Uncle Lin Da to help. As a result, he and Uncle Lin San were unable to pull Old Man Lin away. He felt that Old Man Lin was probably possessed by evil spirits. When he thought about the ghost appearance of Uncle Lin Er, he was also scared, so he asked his youngest son to call the clan leader.

Such a big noise happened in the middle of the night, and almost all the villagers were alarmed. They came in groups of three or four to join in the fun. It took four or five young men to stop Old Man Lin and rescue Old Mrs. Lin. During this time, Old Third Lin was hit on the head with his pipe, leaving a big purple bump.

At this time, Mrs. Lin was breathing more out than in, so everyone quickly sent her to the doctor.

After working for most of the night, when they returned to the Lin family's old house, they found Old Man Lin arguing with an invisible person. After listening to what he said, they learned that the scholar who was rescued that year was originally saved, but Old Man Lin saw that the scholar had a lot of silver bills on him, and he had evil thoughts in his mind. He took advantage of the night to suffocate the scholar, hid most of the silver bills on him, and then told everyone that the scholar was too seriously injured and died.

Perhaps it was because his sins were too deep, but a few days later, while Grandma Lin was coaxing her two children to sleep, she accidentally fell asleep herself. The quilt was too thick, and her own youngest son was suffocated to death.

Old Man Lin gritted his teeth, changed the clothes for the scholar's child and his dead son, and told others that the scholar's son had also died because of poor health.

In this way, the scholar's son became the second son of the Lin family and grew up under the control of the old couple of the Lin family.

Actually, it wasn't that no one thought something was wrong with the two children, but since they were all taken care of by Old Lady Lin, she refused to admit it and no one could verify it, so the matter was left unresolved. Unexpectedly, Old Man Lin suddenly went crazy and revealed his own secret in the middle of the night.

After knowing the whole story, Lin Xin was satisfied.

What she threw into Old Man Lin’s room last night were seeds of magic flowers, which she accidentally discovered at the end of the world. The flowers it bloomed had a strong stench that would dissipate when the wind blew. In addition to the stench, the flowers also had another effect, which was to disturb people’s minds, infinitely magnify the things that people cared about most, and even cause them to fall into illusions.

It’s just that people in the end times have very strong willpower, and the magic flower itself is not of a high level. It’s okay to deal with ordinary people, but it has almost no effect when encountering people with superpowers. It is a very useless thing.

Last night, she heard Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin discussing selling Lin Nan, and in a fit of anger she thought of this thing. She had originally just wanted to tease them, but she didn't expect to get such a reward.

She was so proud of herself that the expression on her face was inevitably a little distorted. The villagers thought she could not accept this fact and they all pulled her to comfort her.

Lin Nan was confused and didn't understand a lot of things. The only thing he understood clearly was that his grandparents were not his biological grandparents. They could no longer bully him and his sister, nor could they sell him and his sister in the name of grandparents. This was really the best thing that could happen.

"Sister, from now on we don't have to worry about being sold or thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. Nan Nan is so happy!" Of course the good news must be shared with her sister.

"Sold? What do you mean by sold? And what does 'feeding to wolves' mean?" Lin Xin immediately grasped the key point, and the villagers nearby also pricked up their ears.

"That's what I heard last time when my aunt asked me to light the fire. Third Aunt told Grandma that there was a rich man who had no son and wanted to buy one. She said I was perfect and would sell me to him in a couple of days. If you tried to stop her, she would sell me too or throw me into the mountains to feed the wolves."

"What?" The villagers all widened their eyes, unable to believe that Old Lady Lin and Zhou could be so cruel. Especially Zhou, she didn't know that Second Brother Lin was not Old Man Lin's biological son, yet she could come up with such a vicious way to treat her nephew and niece. This person was too vicious.

"Don't worry, Nannan. They are not our grandparents, nor are they our eldest aunt or third aunt. If they have any bad ideas about Nannan and sister again, sister will beat them to a pulp."

"Yeah, sister is very good." Lin Nan was happy and satisfied. He smiled with his small teeth and hid his face in his sister's arms embarrassedly.

"Xin girl, come in." Lin Jing came out of Old Man Lin's room and waved to Lin Xin.

"Uncle Jing, what's wrong?" Lin Xin walked over holding Lin Nan.

"They just told you everything. My father called you here to ask you what you think about what happened back then. Do you want to... report to the police?" Lin Jing asked with some embarrassment.

Lin Xin immediately understood what he meant. After so many years, the evidence had long been lost in time. Even if she reported the case to the police, there would probably be no results. If word got out that there was a murderer in the village, it would be difficult for the girls and boys to get married.

"Uncle Jing, it's been so many years since the incident happened. There's no point in reporting it to the authorities. Besides, it won't be good for our village's reputation if it gets out. So... let it go!" Lin Xin said.
