At Lin Feng’s side, several other collateral disciples of the Lin Family were also hurriedly chiming in, “That’s right, they were stolen!
Certainly stolen, Old Ancestor, you cannot tolerate such scum!
It’s not just Cousin Chu Xue’s reputation being tarnished here, but the entire Lin Family’s!”
Second Uncle Lin Zhong sneered from the side, stroking his beard, “Chen Tang, only today have I seen you for who you really are, you truly can’t change your shitty nature!”
Chu Xue’s Aunt Zhang Lan pulled Lin Chuxue two steps to the side and said, “Chu Xue, you should stay away from this kind of person; otherwise, he will ruin you sooner or later.”
Lin Chuxue struggled in her mind for a moment, thinking back to Chen Tang’s words.
Moreover, at the KTV yesterday, Lin Chuxue had seen Liu Tianxiong with her own eyes.
The timing of Liu Tianxiong’s appearance was too coincidental, and furthermore, when he saw Chen Tang being detained by a few security guards, he had spoken up to let them release Chen Tang.
Although all these actions seemed unintentional, they once again supported the suspicions in Lin Chuxue’s mind.
This Chen Tang, he must be hiding something from her.
Although Lin Chuxue’s attitude towards Chen Tang hadn’t been great before, starting from yesterday, she began to reassess her relationship with him.
In the entire Lin Family Clan, although there are many members, all are relatives.
But in reality, not a single one truly cared for her.
Only Chen Tang, her husband in name, had been silently protecting her all along.
Now that Chen Tang was condemned by all, Lin Chuxue would never allow her husband to be scorned by everyone!
With that thought, Lin Chuxue shook off her aunt’s hand, walked briskly to Chen Tang’s side, and took his arm, saying, “Everyone, shut up.
Chen Tang is my husband, and I won’t allow you to malign him!”
Lin Chuxue’s appearance was like a hen protecting her chick.
Chen Tang stood behind Lin Chuxue, looking at her frail shoulders, and felt an inexplicable touch of emotion.
Was this girl standing against the entire Lin Family for his sake?
Lin Chuxue erupted for the second time, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.
After all, before officially taking power, Lin Chuxue was still the actual controller of the Lin Group, the only heir appointed by the grandfather before he died, and held significant influence within the Lin Family Clan.
All eyes were now on the grandmother.
Within the entire Lin Family Clan, she was the only one who could counter Lin Chuxue now.
The grandmother was expressionless, not directly responding to Lin Chuxue’s question, but turned her gaze to Chen Tang, “What, Chen Tang, aren’t you going to explain yourself?
Thirty million, enough to cover the company’s funding gap, and it seems you can’t produce such an amount of money either, can you?”
The grandmother’s words were saturated with contempt!
Back when Old Master Lin brought Chen Tang back, the grandmother had been firmly against taking him in.
But at that time, Old Master Lin was the absolute authority of the Lin Group, and even though the grandmother was displeased, she didn’t dare to do anything.
But now, with the grandfather gone, the grandmother had no scruples.
Together with Lin Feng, the old woman and the young boy had secretly set many traps for Chen Tang.
Without a care, Chen Tang shrugged his shoulders, “There’s nothing to explain!
Heh, isn’t Elder Gu here?
If you all think I stole it, you can call the police to catch me!”
Chen Tang’s statement suddenly brightened the eyes of Lin Feng and Lin Zhong among others.
“Right, we should call the police and have them arrest him, then hand Chen Tang over to Patriarch Liu!” Lin Feng could hardly hide his joy.
Earrings worth thirty million—if Chen Tang really did steal them, his life would be thoroughly ruined!
“Call the police.
Chen Tang, if you have the guts, don’t run; I’m calling them right now!” Lin Feng said, reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone, ready to dial.
Gu Zhenshan stood next to Chen Tang, looking at his disdainful expression and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Back when Old Master Lin decided to marry Lin Chuxue to Chen Tang, almost all his old friends opposed it, but Gu Zhenshan had cast a supportive vote.
The reason was in Chen Tang’s eyes!
Deep and soulful!
Even though Elder Gu had lived for most of his life, when he looked into Chen Tang’s eyes, he still felt as if he were staring into an abyss.
Thus, Elder Gu had concluded at that time, this boy was not an ordinary being.
Just now, Elder Gu once again saw that kind of gaze.
“Wait a moment!” Elder Gu frowned and raised his hand to interrupt Lin Feng, “I happen to have met Family Head Liu Tianxiong before.
Would you mind if I make a call to confirm this?
If the earrings are indeed stolen, calling the police can wait, right?”
Elder Gu spoke while looking at the grandmother.
Although Lin Feng was jumping around energetically here, Elder Gu knew that without the grandmother’s tacit approval, Lin Feng would not dare to be so unrestrained.
In the Lin Family Clan, the third generation had dwindled in number.
Although Lin Chuxue had three uncles in her father’s generation, in Lin Feng’s generation, there were only daughters, with Lin Feng being the sole male heir.
Therefore, the grandmother had always especially doted on this only grandson.
“That sounds good.
Elder Gu knows Family Head Liu, which might help clear up the misunderstandings!” The grandmother nodded her assent to Elder Gu’s suggestion.
Elder Gu did not hesitate and immediately dialed Liu Tianxiong’s number, putting the call on speakerphone.
“Hello, who is this?” A middle-aged man’s voice, full of confidence, came from the phone—it was Liu Tianxiong, the Family Head of the Liu Family.
Elder Gu cleared his throat, “Family Head Liu, long time no see.
I am Gu Zhenshan, calling you out of the blue because I have a question to ask!”
When Liu Tianxiong heard it was Elder Gu, his tone immediately softened, “Oh, Elder Gu, you are too courteous.
If there’s anything I can assist with, please feel free to instruct me!”
Elder Gu’s connections were no joke.
Even Liu Tianxiong couldn’t afford to act arrogantly in front of him.
“It’s like this.
I am currently attending Old Madam Lin’s birthday banquet and happened to see the pair of Chicken Blood Stone Earrings that you acquired at auction last year.
I’m wondering whether you’ve lost these earrings or…”
Elder Gu got straight to the point without much small talk.
The hall fell silent, everyone holding their breath, quietly listening to the voice from the speakerphone.
Lin Chuxue grasped Chen Tang’s hand, their fingers intertwined, and her palms seemed to sweat slightly.
After a few seconds of pondering on the phone, Liu Tianxiong spoke up, “Oh, you mean those Chicken Blood Stone Earrings?
They were not lost.
Brother Chen Tang did me a big favor, and just yesterday, he mentioned needing a gift for Old Madam Lin, so I just did him a favor in return…”
Clatter!
The mobile phone Lin Feng was holding dropped to the floor with a clang, the screen already showing the dialed 110, all it needed was a press of the call button.
But now, according to Liu Tianxiong, he had actually given the earrings to Chen Tang voluntarily?
And Chen Tang had done him a big favor before?
Chen Tang, a good-for-nothing son-in-law, working at a KTV—what kind of big favor could he possibly do for Liu Tianxiong?
Of course, all these were just the pre-arranged lines between Chen Tang and Liu Tianxiong.
Chen Tang wasn’t ready to reveal himself yet!
Everyone at the scene remained silent, exchanging glances, their eyes filled with shock!
Everyone clearly understood what it meant to be connected to someone like Liu Tianxiong.
As one of the two overlords of Yun City, a favor from him was enough to accomplish many things in Yun City.
“Oh, is that so?
Then there’s nothing to worry about.
Family Head Liu, please continue with your business, and when you’re free, I’ll come to disturb you again!” Having confirmed the ownership of the Chicken Blood Stone Earrings, Elder Gu straightforwardly prepared to hang up the phone.
Liu Tianxiong wasn’t draggy either, “Okay!
Also, please convey my regards to Old Master Lin.
In the past, Liu did not know the relationship between the Lin Family and Mr.
Chen.
In the future, we must definitely visit more often!”
