Chapter 186 Who on Earth Is It? (2/2)

Lin Su did not want to grapple with these questions anymore. She asked casually, ”Let's stop talking about these issues. How is the Lin Family doing these days?”

”Just so-so,” Lin Yue shrugged and said somewhat helplessly.

Lin Su was confused. ”What do you mean?”

Lin Yue then explained slowly, ”After you left, out of the blue, the whole Lin Family was in a mess. At first, the elder uncle said they would find you in any case. However, following that, big issues took place. Ningbo Commercial Bank, where we held a share, conducted a shareholders' meeting all of a sudden and kicked our family off of the board of directors. Our real estate project was specifically criticized by the Provincial Housing Development Department because of its fake advertisement and illegal sales. Then it was all closed down by the Real Estate Bureau and prohibited from being sold. You also know what that would mean to us. The whole capital chain was in trouble. So during this period, all the members in our family were as busy as bees. The elder uncle and my father were barely seen for several consecutive days, which happened frequently. They were either on a business trip or engaged in social activities. So none of them had time to pay attention to your issue.”

When Lin Yue finished her words, Lin Su stared at her in astonishment. It did not occur to her that so many issues had taken place in the Lin Family over a few months, which was a short period. How could such a huge misfortunate have occurred? What exactly was going on? Lin Su was a bit confused. She did not think that it had happened coincidentally. Could it be that someone had placed obstacles in the way?

In Ningbo, the Lin Family was sort of a distinguished family, whose status was almost the same as a local emperor. Moreover, since they had been building connections for so many years and they also maintained a good relationship with the authorities in the province, it was impossible that someone would rise in revolt all of a sudden. Obviously, another stronger power was blocking the Lin Family's way. But why?

Could it be related to Qin Sheng's issue? Was it Uncle Zhuang? Uncle Zhuang should not have such a powerful connection. Then who else could it be? Could it be that the Yan Family was getting revenge on them? It sounded reasonable.

”Somebody was playing against the Lin Family on purpose. Do you know who it is?” Lin Su asked Lin Yue.

Everybody knew the Lin Family now was targeted. It did not surprise Lin Yue that Lin Su also guessed correctly. She nodded and said, ”That is true. Our Lin Family was targeted. However, as for who was playing against the Lin Family, that could not be found.”

”Is it the Yan Family?” Lin Su said randomly.

Lin Yue heard her words and then sniggered. ”Sister, you do think the Yan Family is getting revenge on us, don't you? No, it is barely possible. Since there were a lot of business interactions going on between the Yan Family and the Lin Family, if they were playing against us, they would be greatly affected. What's more, over these days, the Yan Family is also having a hard time. There are also a lot of issues going on on their side.”

Lin Su's look changed drastically. If a lot of issues had also taken place in the Yan Family, then it would be thought-provoking. She was almost sure that it had something to do with Qin Sheng's issues. Someone was definitely getting revenge for Qin Sheng. Who on earth was it? Since Uncle Zhuang did not have such powerful connections, could it be Xue Qingyan? Since the Xue Family was deeply rooted in Zhejian and it now was a fresh startup in Shanghai, her assumption made sense. However, though Qin Sheng respected Xue Qingyan as his sister, it was impossible for Xue Qingyan to offend both Yan Family and Lin Family simply because of Qin Sheng. Even if she were willing to do so, the Xue Family would never consent.

Then who on earth was it?

Lin Su started to ponder on it. Uncle Zhuang said that he was an old friend of Old Master Qin. Qin Sheng also said previously that Jiang Xianbang was somewhat connected to the old master. Consequently, Lin Su was thinking, who on earth was this Old Master Qin? He actually had prepared so many leeways for Qin Sheng. Perhaps what had happened this time might be related to Old Master Qin.

”Well, let's not talk about all this anymore. I am not connected to the Lin Family anymore. Eat dinner in a hurry. I even don't have time for you. You should go home tomorrow.” Cutting her talk short, Lin Su started to chase Lin Yue away.

Lin Yue said pretty unhappily, ”You put dates before mates. The way I see it, you even out me, your little sister in the last position.”

In Spring Breeze, Qin Sheng was having a good talk with the uncle. It definitely never came to Qin Sheng's mind that this middle-aged uncle could be his biological father. Qin Changan chose to approach him in this way and got along with him gradually. It was unknown how Qin Sheng would react after he knew the truth.

They talked about economic rules and patterns. Qin Changan was an authentic commercial tycoon, who was yet an invisible one. He knew he should keep a low profile. Instead of showing his face in public place, he used his agent to take care of everything. Compared with Qin Sheng, who was a theorist, Qin Changan had more experience and insight. Qin Sheng simply regarded himself as an obedient student who was waiting for his respected teacher's advice. He obediently listened to what the middle-aged uncle was saying about economic rules and patterns.

In the end, they talked about geomantic omens, feng shui, and Zhou yi. Since they both had been by Old Master Qin's side since their childhood, they were influenced by what they had constantly seen and heard. They more or less understood these topics, such as using a divining rod to locate the lifeline, feng shui and its layout, the illustrations of gods, and so on. All in all, they had a great conversation.

Lin Su returned to the cafe a few minutes past eight o'clock after she accompanied Lin Yue to eat dinner. Qin Sheng and Qin Changan were still chatting. Lin Su saw them talking cheerfully and humorously from a distance. She could not help finding it a bit surprising. There were few customers in the cafe.

At this time, the scoundrel, who had been beaten badly by Qin Sheng yesterday, showed up outside Spring Breeze. This time, he brought more scoundrels along with him. He yelled out loudly, ”Hey, cripple inside the cafe, come out now.”

Qin Sheng and Qin Changan both heard this sentence and they both looked out the window at the same time. They both frowned subconsciously...
