Chapter 628: The Investigation

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The elderly woman, known as Da Ma, didn’t bother to persuade Mother Lin. She didn’t want to miss the opportunity to get the latest gossip firsthand. Hastily, she put down what she was holding and followed the footsteps of her companions. Her plump body jiggled as she hurried along. As she approached, she heard the police asking, “Does anyone know where Lin Laoyao lives? Could you please show me the way?”

Upon hearing this, the crowd was puzzled. Why were the police looking for Lin Laoyao? Could it be that something had happened to Lin Jie in jail? Or had Lin Laoyao done something wrong? It seemed impossible! The crowd pricked up their ears, hoping to catch more information from the police.

However, after getting the address, the police turned and headed towards Lin Laoyao’s house without uttering another word, except for a brief thank you.

The crowd, not satisfied with the lack of information, began to speculate and followed the police. Da Ma went back to Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop get her things, planning to catch up. As she left, she hurriedly mentioned to Mother Lin, “An Yun, it seems like something has happened at Lin Laoyao’s house!”

Mother Lin watched the departing crowd, her face filled with worry. Li Hua, who was at the door, had witnessed everything. She approached her mother-in-law and asked, “Mom, should we tell Dad about this? After all, that’s his younger brother. He has a right to know.”

Mother Lin didn’t respond. She put down her basket and walked into the house. She spoke to her husband, who was doing rehabilitation exercises by the bed, “I just saw the police looking for Lin Laoyao. I don’t know what happened. Do you want to go and see?”

In the past, Lin Lao’er had been deeply hurt by an incident, but Mother Lin, as his wife, understood her husband’s thoughts well. He was a naturally kind person. Even though he had been treated poorly by Lin Laoyao’s family, it would be hard for him to ignore their troubles.

If something had happened to Lin Laoyao and he found out much later, it would probably upset him for a long time. Mother Lin didn’t want her husband to feel bad.

After hearing Li Hua’s suggestion, she thought that no matter what her husband chose to do, she should at least inform him. Whatever he decided, she would try to understand and support him, because that’s how he had always treated her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lao’er’s eyes flashed with complex emotions. After a long while, he said, “An Yun, take me there. Let’s show him some concern one last time.” Whether for better or worse, this would be the last time.

At this moment, the police had arrived at Lin Laoyao’s house. It didn’t take long for a crowd to gather, whispering and watching the commotion. Lin Laoyao and his wife heard the noise and quickly came out of the house.

They had aged significantly over this period. Beneath their prominent forehead wrinkles, their four eyes were filled with confusion, clearly unaware of what was happening. A police officer stepped forward, “Are you Lin Yun?”

Lin Laoyao, whose real name was Lin Yun, was more accustomed to being called Lin Laoyao in the village. Hearing his real name was somewhat unfamiliar and made him feel inexplicably nervous. He hesitated before nodding, “I am Lin Yun. Officer, why are you here?”

Before Lin Laoyao could finish speaking, his wife interjected, “You’re so stupid. The officer must be here because of our son, Lin Jie. Officer, has our son behaved well in jail? Are you going to release him early?”

The police officer shook his head, “We have not heard any news about Lin Jie being released early. We are here specifically for you, Lin Yun. You are suspected of inciting others to spread rumors, damaging the reputation of Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop, and conspiring with the Li brothers to frame Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. Please come with us for an investigation.”

As one officer spoke, another prepared to handcuff Lin Laoyao. The villagers exploded into chatter upon hearing this, but no one noticed the panic and anger flashing in Lin Laoyao’s eyes.

“What’s going on? Gu Zi is too ruthless. She got her cousin Lin Jie into the police station, and now she wants to get Lin Laoyao in there too? God, her desire for revenge is too strong, isn’t it?”

“It seems to be related to the previous rumors about Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. But that’s not right. I’ve never heard Lin Laoyao spreading rumors about the restaurant adding poppy flowers to their braised pork. Could it really be like you said, that Gu Zi is just seeking revenge on Lin Laoyao’s family? With her connections to Su Shen, it seems like she can do whatever she wants.”
