Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Is There Anyone with the Surname Lin in the Village?
After leaving the police station, Lin Xiaohong felt a great sense of relief.
It was as if she had finally shed a burden, and even the sunlight on her face felt warm and comforting.
She made up her mind to seize the opportunity and do a good job!
She had not walked far when she looked up and saw several tall men with a sneaky appearance, walking toward her.
Wang Wei had brought three brothers and followed the clues all the way from Beijing.
They finally arrived at Daye Village.
According to that woman, Lin Jianping’s sister had married hurriedly into someone from this village, and if nothing went wrong, she probably wouldn’t leave this village.
“Wei, how could such a shabby village have any experts? Why are we being so cautious?”
Wang Wei glared at him fiercely, “These are Master Gong’s orders. Just do as instructed, and keep your mouth shut.”
The men exchanged a glance, immediately becoming silent as if chilled.
Clearly, they all held Master Gong in high regard, and even from a distance, did not dare to offend him.
The atmosphere turned somber, and Wang Wei said indifferently, “Alright, let’s first find someone and clear things up.”
As he was speaking, Lin Xiaohong came into their view.
Wang Wei signaled with his eyes, and a man with a kind face immediately approached her.
Lin Xiaohong had already noticed these unfamiliar faces and cautiously stopped.
“What do you want?”
The man smiled, “Hello, we are here looking for a relative and would like to ask you about it.”
Lin Xiaohong did not let down her guard.
A middle-aged man with a few sturdy young men didn’t seem like they were looking for relatives, more like debt collectors forcing their way to someone’s doorstep.
Lin Xiaohong frowned and asked, “Whom are you looking for?”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
The man did not take Lin Xiaohong’s attitude to heart, seeing her only as an unsightly village girl with little experience.
“Are there any Lin’s in Daye Village?”
Lin Xiaohong faced him squarely.
After all, she was standing right outside the police station.
“I am a Lin. What do you want?”
The man was momentarily stunned and looked involuntarily toward Wang Wei.
Wang Wei came over with a forced smile on his face.
Due to his normally stern face, his smile seemed more frightening than a straight face.
Lin Xiaohong subconsciously took a small step back.
“Big sister, are you really surnamed Lin?”
“Who’s your big sister?” Lin Xiaohong looked at him, “What of it if I’m surnamed Lin?”
“Do you know Lin Jianping?”
Who is Lin Jianping? Lin Xiaohong had never heard this name and shook her head honestly.
“I don’t know.”
Something wasn’t right. Wang Wei saw Lin Xiaohong didn’t seem to be lying, paused for a moment, and continued asking.
“Are there any other Lin’s in your village?”
Daye Village was a mixed-surname village without the concept of a clan as in Jinshan Village.
Apart from herself, it seemed there really were no other Lin families in the village.
Lin Xiaohong thought for a while, then suddenly paused.
Wait, Sister Lin was also surnamed Lin.
She was about to go work under Yue Jiandong, so she immediately perked up.
These men didn’t seem like good people, and Sister Lin had never mentioned having any relatives.
Could they be enemies Yue Jiandong had made in business?
Thinking this, the clever Lin Xiaohong instantly replied, “No, there’s just my family: my dad Lin Guanghua, my brother Lin Dajun, and I haven’t heard of any other Lin’s.”
Were they mistaken? Wang Wei and the others exchanged glances, thought for a moment, and then Wang Wei pulled a bill from his wallet and handed it to Lin Xiaohong.
“Big sister, think about it again. If there are Lin’s in the nearby villages, you can tell us. We won’t let you down.”
Giving favors without reason suggests ulterior motives.
Lin Xiaohong was even more convinced that these men were not here to look for relatives. She pocketed the money and thought for a bit, then shook her head.
“There really aren’t any in Daye Village for sure. Most of Jinshan Village is surnamed Ma, but I think there are also Lin’s there. Yes, and I’ve heard there’s a Lin in Niuwei Village to the west. If you want to find relatives, you might want to look there.”
Seeing Lin Xiaohong’s confident manner, Wang Wei believed her.
“Alright, thanks.”
Wang Wei called to the men, “Let’s go check out Niuwei Village.”
Watching them leave, Lin Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief and turned toward the Yue Family’s direction.
No matter what those men were up to, she had to warn Sister Lin in advance.
If they were indeed looking for relatives, they wouldn’t miss out.
