The Jingguang Tomb case was instigated by Huang Zhaozhong.

Huang Zhaozhong’s goal was to urge the police to investigate Wan Yide.

He was confident that Wan Yide must have committed a major crime.

Once Wan Yide was caught and imprisoned, Huang Zhaozhong could rest easy.

But as the case developed, the situation changed.

When Shen Shuming entered this case,

the conflict was no longer just between Huang Zhaozhong and Wan Yide.

It was highly likely that the Shen Family represented by Shen Shuming, and possibly the Lin Family, the hidden hand behind the Jingguang Tomb case, were involved!

Chen Xiao didn’t like to be overly suspicious, but during an investigation, he couldn’t help but not view anyone who approached him positively.

So, in his mind, Shen Shuming already had some labels attached.

However, the urgent task was to understand the case.

As for the business wars in Hai City, who lived or died was irrelevant to him.

He followed Pan Huiping to the Celestial Valley District Branch Criminal Investigation Team.

After waiting for over half an hour, a young girl entered the Criminal Investigation Team.

After the police took her to the interrogation room, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi entered together.

Once seated, Chen Xiao glanced at Su He.

She was a girl who appeared quite delicate.

As she sat on the chair, her eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Yet she was in no hurry, seeming very serene.

Lin Xi opened her notebook, looked at Su He, and began the inquiry with a smile: "Hello, Su He. My name is Lin Xi, from the Jiang Province police."

Su He withdrew her gaze from around the room and nodded: "Hello, Officer Lin. I wonder why you called me here..."

Chen Xiao remained silent, as Lin Xi was part of the task force and was best suited for the inquiry.

Primarily because maybe a woman-to-woman conversation would be better.

Lin Xi didn’t beat around the bush and asked, "We called you here actually for just a few questions. Once we’re done, Miss Su will know why we’re here."

"Alright, Officer Lin, please ask."

"Miss Su changed her surname with your mother, right?"

"Yes, when I was young, due to some changes in the family, my mother took me back to my grandfather’s house, so I changed my surname to Su."

"Do you remember how old you were at that time?"

"How could I forget? It was only six years ago," Su He replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao had some understanding.

Six years ago aligned with the Millennium 2000.

Just five years before the Jingguang Tomb case!

Thinking about this, Lin Xi asked again: "According to our understanding, your grandfather Lin Xiaoxian came to Hai City with the elders in his family, right? And the Lin Family’s ancestral home is in Jiang Province?"

Upon hearing this question,

a gleam of light flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes.

Neither he nor Lin Xi, nor the entire task force, was sure if the Lin Family’s ancestral home was in Jiang Province.

Because of Su He’s existence, they had only just learned about it.

Even though Su He could help trace which Lin Family it was, and Pan Huiping had already started investigating,

Lin Xi’s question was both genuine and strategic.

If guessed correctly, Su He wouldn’t think much of it.

But if wrong, Su He would certainly correct it.

Because at this moment, Su He was also speculating why the police were contacting her!

Sure enough, Su He shook her head and said:

"The Lin Family’s ancestral home is indeed in Jiang Province, but Lin Xiaoxian came to Hai City following his father. So the Lin Family’s legacy was built by the old master, then passed to Lin Xiaoxian, and then to Lin Zumeng, and now to Lin Zuyao."

Listening to Su He’s response,

Chen Xiao and Lin Xi immediately recognized something.

Su He directly referred to the Lin Family members by name!

This kind of address showed that Su He’s relationship with the Lin Family was not good, possibly even very strained.

With this understanding, Lin Xi felt more at ease asking questions.

"What did the Lin Family’s old master build his fortune on? Do you know?"

"The old master was skilled in blacksmithing before and made his start in Hai City by opening a blacksmith shop. Over time, it grew from a small workshop into a business, and after the master’s passing, the business was handed to Lin Xiaoxian."

"Although I don’t like the Lin Family and find them realistic and harsh, willing to disregard family for profit, each generation of the Lin Family, as my grandfather said, were outstanding individuals."

Su He’s words flowed naturally.

While she spoke, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi remained silent.

Once she finished, Lin Xi perceptively captured Su He’s hatred and helplessness.

"Such a family is rare indeed. It’s often said that wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations, but the Lin Family still maintains control with its third generation, quite impressive."

As Lin Xi praised, Su He’s discontent became more evident:

"Their success is due to being devoid of emotions, all being money-making machines, including Lin Zumeng!"

"But Heaven took notice, and Lin Zumeng died in his thirties. If he hadn’t, Lin Zuyao, the adopted son, would never have inherited the Lin Family business!"

Lin Xi’s gaze sharpened: "Lin Zuyao is an adopted son?"

"Yes, after Lin Xiaoxian married, he remained childless and later adopted Lin Zuyao. Not long after adopting Lin Zuyao, Lin Zumeng was born. And the Lin Family’s line is singular to my generation, with Lin Zumeng having only one daughter, me."

"But as for Lin Zuyao, that adopted son, he has many children, not to mention unknown numbers of illegitimate children outside," Su He said with a cold laugh.

This cold laugh starkly contrasted with her earlier demeanor.

But perhaps the Lin Family matters were Su He’s deepest pain.

After all, she was born and raised in the Lin Family, only to be expelled by them.

Moreover, during Su He’s upbringing, it seems neither Lin Xiaoxian nor Lin Zumeng ever gave her any affection.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but look at Lin Xi.

He wanted to see how Lin Xi would proceed.

After a brief consideration, Lin Xi had picked up the key points in Su He’s words.

The key being the Lin Family’s single line of succession for three generations!

This aligned with the rumored curse on the Lin Family.

After all, how many wealthy families with financial strength have only a single line of succession?

They would prefer to have as many children as possible!

Just as Lin Xi was about to delve deeper, Pan Huiping suddenly opened the interrogation room door.

Her expression was not great as she whispered into Chen Xiao’s ear:

"The higher-ups have spoken to me about various matters. Also, Su He’s mother and Shen Shuming are waiting outside."

After saying this, Pan Huiping turned and left the interrogation room.

Her message was clear, to ask what needed to be asked quickly, or Su He would have to leave.

Lin Xi understood.

But just as she was about to speak, Chen Xiao swiftly interjected:

"Miss Su, your mother and your boyfriend Shen Shuming are here. Let me take you to see them!"
