Chapter 294 Lin Family Mother and Son Arrested
Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng looked at each other, both with vigilance and panic in their eyes.
Lin Fangsheng approached the door and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
The voice outside the door paused for a moment, then shouted, "It's me, Brother Li, Lin Fangsheng, open the door, don't think you can get away with it by hiding!"
When Lin Fangsheng heard this, his face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
Seeing this, Lin's mother also panicked, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "You calm them down first, I'll think of a way."
Lin Fangsheng took a deep breath, opened the door a crack, and forced out a flattering smile: "Brother Li, why are you here? The deadline for this matter has not yet arrived. If you give me a few more days, I will definitely get the money together for you."
Brother Li pushed Lin Fangsheng away and walked into the house with a few fierce-looking men. He looked around and sneered, "Don't play tricks on me, kid. I've given you enough time. Either pay me back today or I'll break your arm."
As he said this, Brother Li winked at his men.
One of them nodded and immediately took out a fruit knife, while the other two held down Lin Fangsheng's arms.
"Mom, mom, save me!" Seeing this, Lin Fangsheng was trembling with fear.
Mother Lin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you see how serious this matter is. We are also trying to find a solution! My daughter Lin Wanwan has money now, and we are planning to ask her for it. If you give us a little more time, we will definitely be able to get the money back and return it to you."
When Brother Li heard this, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Lin Wanwan? Is that your adopted daughter who married into the Huo family? Are you sure you can get money from her?"
Lin Fangsheng nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, she was soft-hearted before. As long as she knew that we are in your hands now, she would definitely give it to you."
Brother Li snorted coldly and looked at Lin's mother. "Well, call your adopted daughter and ask her to bring money to redeem you."
Lin's mother took out her cell phone tremblingly, and her fingers slid across the screen with shaking hands. She finally found Lin Wanwan's number, but she didn't dare to dial it.
She knew in her heart that after how she and Lin Fangsheng had treated Lin Wanwan before, she might not necessarily help if she asked her for help now that she was in such a situation.
Brother Li urged impatiently: "What are you waiting for? If you don't call me, I will really do it."
Mother Lin gritted her teeth and pressed the call button. After the call was connected, Lin Wanwan's voice came: "Hello?" Mother Lin swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Wanwan, it's me, Mom..."
When Lin Wanwan heard her mother's voice, she frowned slightly and said in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"
Mother Lin glanced at the vicious people around her and said with a stiff upper lip: "Wanwan, I know I was wrong. We were wrong before. Now your brother and I are in trouble. Someone wants to hurt us. Please save us. As long as you give them some money, they will let us go."
Lin Wanwan sneered on the phone, "What does it have to do with me? You keep talking about money. I have already paid off what I owe you. You are just suffering from your own actions now. I will not give you a penny. Just give up on this idea!"
After saying that, Lin Wanwan immediately hung up the phone.
Lin's mother stood there holding her cell phone, her face full of tension and fear.
She never expected that Lin Wanwan would be so decisive and not give her even a glimmer of room for negotiation.
Seeing this, Brother Li's face became even gloomier. He glared at Mother Lin and Lin Fangsheng fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, you guys are playing me for a fool! Since your cash cow doesn't care about you anymore, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, he waved to his men, and they pressed Lin Fangsheng even harder. The sharp fruit knife flashed coldly under the light.
Lin Fangsheng was so frightened that he struggled desperately and begged for mercy: "Brother Li, Brother Li, please give me another chance! I will definitely find a way to get the money!" However, Brother Li was not moved at all, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
At this critical moment, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. Li Ge and others were startled and looked towards the door vigilantly.
I heard a loud voice outside the door shouting, "Police checking the room, open the door!"
It turned out that although Lin Wanwan hung up the phone, she was still a little worried.
After much thought, she felt that she could not just stand by and watch them die. Even for the sake of the little kindness she had shown in raising them, she could not let them fall into despair.
So she quietly called the police and provided the detailed address and the situation inside the house.
When Brother Li and others heard that it was the police, they immediately panicked.
"You called the fucking police?"
Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng immediately shook their heads and said in fear, "It's not me, it's not me..."
"Brother Li, what should we do now?"
"Quick, find a way to escape."
They looked around, trying to find a way to escape, but there was no other exit in the room.
Helplessly, Brother Li could only signal his men to let go of Lin Fangsheng, "Go, open the door."
Lin Fangsheng walked towards the door tremblingly, put his hand on the door handle, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly opened it.
As soon as the door opened, a group of police rushed in quickly, shouting: "Don't move!"
Before Brother Li and others could react, they were controlled by the police.
One of the police officers looked around and confirmed that no one was missing. Then he said into the intercom: "All suspects have been controlled. The scene is safe."
Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng collapsed on the ground, holding their heads.
"Comrade police, we are just here to collect debts, we haven't done anything else!" Brother Li and others squatted on the ground, looking innocent.
The police sneered and said to Brother Li and the others, "Debt collection? Holding a knife to someone's arm is called debt collection? You are suspected of illegal gambling and extortion. Come back to the police station and explain yourself!"
When Lin's mother heard this, she cried and complained: "Comrade police, we are also forced to do this. It's all because of my good-for-nothing son who owes us the money. We really didn't do it on purpose."
The policeman interrupted her seriously: "If you have anything to say, come back to the police station and talk. Now be quiet."
Afterwards, the police took Li Ge and his gang, as well as Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng into the police car.
After arriving at the police station, after a detailed interrogation, the illegal acts of Li Ge and others were found out one by one. They could no longer argue and could only plead guilty and wait for legal sanctions.
As for Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng, the police also detained them for their gambling debts and for repeatedly harassing Lin Wanwan and asking her for money.
When Lin Wanwan learned that they had all been taken to the police station, a huge weight of relief fell from her heart.
Huo Jingchen patted her shoulder gently and smiled: "Wife, you did the right thing this time. You not only kept the bottom line, but also taught them a lesson. From now on, no one will disturb our lives anymore."
Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded, "I hope that this time, they will reflect on themselves in prison and receive the punishment they deserve."
Since then, Lin Wanwan's life has gradually returned to normal.
She devoted more energy to the operation of the gallery. Under her careful management, the gallery's business flourished, attracting many art lovers and collectors to visit and buy paintings.
Huo Group.
"Have you found out who Zhou Ping is?" Huo Jingchen raised his eyes and looked at Song Zekai who was sitting on the sofa.
Song Zekai replied: "Based on the old man's description and with the help of the police, we found that there is no such person as Zhou Ping. But..."
"But what?" Huo Jingchen frowned slightly.
"However, after comparing the database, we found that Zhou Ping looks very similar to Ye Sinian's second uncle Ye Pingzhou."
Huo Jingchen's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Ye Pingzhou? How could he be related to this matter?"
Song Zekai said solemnly: "It is not clear yet, but judging from various signs, this matter is by no means simple. Perhaps there is a deeper conspiracy behind it."
Huo Jingchen stood up and paced back and forth in the office. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Continue to investigate in depth and don't miss any clues. I want to see what's going on behind this."
Song Zekai nodded and left.
Huo Jingchen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
At the same time, a mysterious guest arrived at Lin Wanwan's gallery.
"Ms. Lin, I've heard of your name for a long time." The man was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Lin Wanwan smiled politely: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The middle-aged man slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I can provide you with some information that you may be interested in."
Lin Wanwan became alert: "What news?"
The guest approached Lin Wanwan and lowered his voice and said, "Don't you want to know how your biological mother Bai Wei died?"
Lin Wanwan's eyes flashed with surprise, and her brows furrowed: "What exactly do you want to say? Who are you? Why do you know about my mother?"
The guest smiled gently: "Don't worry! Miss Lin, you will know when you go to this place."
After saying that, the guest handed Lin Wanwan a note and turned to leave.
Lin Wanwan opened the note, which contained an address and a sentence: "The truth is waiting for you here."
Lin Wanwan raised her head and was about to ask something, but then she saw the middle-aged man got into a black car and disappeared into the gallery.
Lin Wanwan looked at the address on the note, her heart full of doubts and entanglements. On the one hand, she was eager to know the truth about her biological mother's death, but on the other hand, she felt that there was something fishy about the matter and it might be dangerous to go there rashly.
After much hesitation, she decided to tell Huo Jingchen about this.
After hearing this, Huo Jingchen immediately rushed to the gallery, took the note and read the contents on it, his expression became solemn.
Lin Wanwan bit her lip and said, "But I really want to know what happened to my mother. I have been kept in the dark for so many years."
Huo Jingchen gently held her hand and soothed her, "I understand how you feel, but we have to be cautious. I'll let Song Zekai take people to check the address first. Once it's safe, we can make plans."
Lin Wanwan thought about it and felt that what Huo Jingchen said made sense, so she nodded in agreement.
Huo Jingchen immediately contacted Song Zekai and informed him of the situation in detail. After receiving the order, Song Zekai quickly arranged for people to secretly investigate the address written on the note.
After a careful investigation, Song Zekai reported back that the address was an abandoned factory. There were few people there on weekdays, and the surrounding environment was very secluded, which was indeed a bit unusual.
Huo Jingchen frowned and said, "It seems that someone is definitely planning something behind this. Wanwan, we must not take risks lightly. I will personally lead people to conduct a further investigation. You just wait for my news at home."
Lin Wanwan was a little worried and wanted to go with him, but Huo Jingchen firmly refused: "No, if there is any danger, I can't let you get involved. You stay at home and I promise to find out everything."
