Chapter 874: Seeking Help
Lin Kerou walked out of the Lin family home feeling completely let down.
Along the way here, she had called Lin Ya many times, but the calls had gone unanswered.
She initially thought that Lin Ya was sleeping like a dead log. But it unexpectedly turned out that they had all gone off to Grandpa’s house to avoid the anticipated trouble.
Lin Kerou picked up her phone with trembling hands and called Lin Ya again. To her surprise, the call was answered. “Hello?”
Lin Ya sounded calm as ever, but Lin Kerou understood him very well. She could hear the irritation in his voice.
Her heart skipped a beat. She tried her best to soften her tone. “Brother, I’m at home. Why aren’t you, Mom and Dad at home?”
Lin Ya took off his gold-rimmed glasses. He frowned and massaged his brow with two fingers, listening to her sugary tone with disdain.
This sister of his, she could play a damsel in distress at the snap of the fingers.
The servants would definitely have told her where they had gone, but she pretended not to know.
Did she think that doing this would help her maintain her dignity?
Since she wanted to pretend, he indulged her.
“Grandpa isn’t feeling too well. I came with Mom and Dad to take a look. Why did you come home at this late hour? It’s already past 1 am.”
Lin Kerou clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
After such a major incident had happened, she did not believe that Lin Ya was unaware!
Eventually, she came straight to the point. “Brother Donglin has been arrested. The police barged into the Mu family mansion in the middle of the night. My in-laws have been recuperating in the hospital recently. Brother, Brother Donglin isn’t in a good situation now. Do you know what’s going on?”
Lin Ya was disappointed.
Lin Kerou had gone a big circle, but at this critical point she had caved. She was, ultimately, too immature.
Lin Ya did not expose her and asked calmly, “What’s going on?”
“Because you’ve given Brother Donglin a document. The document is evidence of illegal transactions of drugs and violates the law.” Lin Kerou no longer tried to conceal her emotions. “Brother Donglin was arrested because of that document. I won’t pursue the matter further, please think of a way to get Brother Donglin out.”
Seeing her like this, Lin Ya stopped pretending. He smiled and said calmly, “My silly sister, it’s in the middle of the night. How am I to get Mu Donglin out?”
“You can resolve this. I know you have your ways.”
“There’s a way, but it really depends on whether Mu Donglin will be cooperative.”
Lin Kerou’s eyes lit up. “What way?”
Lin Ya said unhurriedly, “Let Donglin calm down first and don’t panic. That document alone is not going to be able to nail him. As long as he insists that it has nothing to do with him, no one can do anything to him.”
“Really?” Lin Kerou was overjoyed, but after a moment, she felt somewhat uneasy. “But I just went to see him, and it didn’t sound all that simple.”
“Silly girl.” Lin Ya sounded somewhat exasperated. “Those policemen are not fools. If they don’t use scare tactics, how can they make the cases easier for themselves to handle?”
When Lin Kerou heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and nodded firmly. “I understand, but when are you coming back?”
Her grandfather’s house was quite a distance from Guang City.
It would take two to three hours just by driving. Given the present situation, it was almost impossible for Lin Kerou to go to them.
Mu Donglin needed her to be around.
