Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Old Fox, Young Fox!
The waiter lifted his head.
When his face was fully revealed to everyone, they finally saw that horrendous and eerie visage.
"Thanks for your trouble, everyone. I am the person you’re looking for. My name is Xiang Xian."
"Also known as... Lin Zumeng!"
The waiter spoke, his eyes filled with the calmness after surrendering.
As for the police officers ambushed in these rooms, all were notified by Lin Xi.
The resurrected Lin Zumeng silently watched Liu Dayou and the police before him, a smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something as he looked at everything before him.
A hint of revelation appeared in his eyes, and then he grinned.
At this moment, Liu Dayou excitedly rushed forward, laughing:
"Everyone, this guy was caught by my sister-in-law, I’ll cuff him!"
Saying this, Liu Dayou rushed forward.
But the next second, as Liu Dayou just extended his hand, another pair of hands grabbed his arm and then slammed Liu Dayou hard onto the ground.
Liu Dayou’s mind went blank.
Angry shouts immediately came from all around:
"Stop!"
"Lin Zumeng, you’re already at your wits’ end, still want to resist?"
"Lin Zumeng, police are everywhere here, you can’t escape!"
The police were stunned too.
But at this moment, Lin Zumeng sneered and said:
"I told you my name, hoping you’d use some brains. Do you know who I, Lin Zumeng, am? What kind of predicament haven’t I been through?"
"You’re using such a scenario to test me? Do you take me for a fool? This is Hai City, not just any city in Jiang Province!"
"And encircle me? That Hai City police could come in such numbers is already giving your Jiang Province special task force enough face!"
As he said this, Lin Zumeng pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Liu Dayou’s neck.
"I advise you not to move recklessly; if you do, I’ll kill this one trying to claim credit first!"
Liu Dayou was pinned to the ground, his face full of shame.
He actually wasn’t trying to claim credit for himself.
He thought if Hai City’s police caught Lin Zumeng, wouldn’t the credit have to be shared with Hai City?
Chen Xiao and Lin Xi spent so much effort on this case; if the credit was shared with Pan Huiping, he would feel okay, but with others, he felt unbalanced.
But now, not only did he not help, he became a bargaining chip for Lin Zumeng against the police.
Shame!
Really too shameful.
"You might as well kill me, I have no face to live anyway."
Lin Zumeng looked at Liu Dayou in surprise, seemingly doubting such words came from Liu Dayou’s mouth.
But in the next second, when a force gripped his wrist, Lin Zumeng subtly grinned.
With a "bang," Lin Zumeng was kicked directly to the ground.
Lin Xi pinned him down in the same manner and whispered:
"Deliberate?"
"I planned all this; Officer Lin, do you think I wouldn’t understand you and your husband? Your husband is considerate, and I should repay in kind."
Lin Zumeng said, looking at the closed door, then said again:
"Thank you, Officer Lin, for giving me this last decency. Don’t let her know, absolutely not!"
Lin Xi pulled Lin Zumeng up.
The other officers naturally did not dare make any more mistakes upon seeing this!
"Take him back to your precinct first; later someone from the Provincial City will take him for questioning."
"Rest assured, Officer Lin won’t have any more problems!"
"Officer Lin has good skills, earlier that moment really amazed us!"
Lin Xi shook her head with a smile: "Thanks to your assistance, otherwise with children in the room, I might not have acted."
"Understandable, we as police must first protect the safety of the public!"
Having said that, the officers left first, taking the suspect with them.
Lin Xi looked at the utterly embarrassed Liu Dayou and said, "Go to the room and accompany Ah Yu, I have to go with them."
"Sister-in-law, earlier I..."
Lin Xi whispered, "Everything is under your Brother Chen’s control."
Liu Dayou was taken aback, frowned, "What do you mean?"
Lin Xi did not explain but smiled: "Think about it, your Brother Chen knows all about those around him. He knows what kind of person will do what at what time."
Having said this, Lin Xi left the hotel following the officers.
Liu Dayou stood there thinking for a long time before he realized.
But having done so, Liu Dayou felt even more embarrassed.
Only when he opened the door and saw Ah Yu did Liu Dayou immediately put on a smile and started playing with Ah Yu.
Ten minutes later, the police car escorted Lin Zumeng back to the station, temporarily in the interrogation room.
Lin Xi and Lin Zumeng sat opposite each other.
Only, both of them tacitly did not speak until Chen Xiao pushed open the door of the interrogation room, Lin Zumeng smiled and said:
"Hello, Advisor Chen."
Chen Xiao glanced at him and then asked Lin Xi, "No accidents, right?"
"He saw through your plan and then beat Dayou, but it wasn’t really a beating, it’s just Dayou feeling ashamed."
"Dayou has a strong psychological endurance; take him out for a good meal later, and it’ll be fine."
Chen Xiao said with a smile, then also sat in front of Lin Zumeng:
"Should I ask, or do you want to talk?"
"I don’t like the feeling of being interrogated, so I’ll confess voluntarily."
"In view of your cooperation, I can grant you one request after this ends. But that request cannot involve Ah Yu."
Lin Zumeng nodded: "I’ve already seen her; I think her age shouldn’t allow her to guess who I am. So, if the two of you consider my cooperation okay, let Su Qiu and Xiaohuo come see me."
"Hmm, if they’re willing, I’ll bring them."
Chen Xiao responded, Lin Zumeng took a deep breath, saying:
"First, let me explain why I faked my death and went abroad. I don’t think that kid Shen Shuming ever told you that."
Chen Xiao couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
Indeed, the foxes in the world, no matter young or old, always have endless little schemes.
"In the year I supposedly died, which was the millennium. I offended someone, someone so powerful that our Lin Family couldn’t handle him."
"However, he was somewhat a man of grudges, so as long as I died, the Lin Family would be left alone."
"Of course, to deceive that person, I also went through a lot of effort. I suppose if he hears I’m alive again, he’d be infuriated."
Chen Xiao nodded: "When I found Shen Shuming, I’ve always been curious about this issue. I think, even if I capture you, it seems there’s no real blow to the Lin Family, as the current head of the Lin Family is your brother Lin Zuyao."
"But now, with what you said, I truly understand Shen Shuming’s ulterior motives."
Lin Zumeng sneered: "That kid grew up with Xiaohuo, I’ve watched him grow up, what he intends is all under my control, so this time he might not necessarily succeed!"
