Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Qimo and Lin Yin returned to Jiangchi District.    

    

As soon as Lin Yin entered, the two elders in the house got up from the sofa and asked in a panic.    

    

"Lin Yin, what happened to the jewelry that Qimo was responsible for? Why didn't you pay more attention to it?"    

    

Having already received the news of the disappearance of the jewelry, the two elders were began throwing out questions in the moment of anxiety.    

    

It certainly was not easy for their daughter to have such an opportunity to rise up in the company. If her life was ruined because of this matter, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.    

    

"It's nothing. Just a small matter," Lin Yin replied calmly.    

    

"A small matter?! Do you really think the two of us are old fools?" Lu Yahui said angrily. "The jewelry that Qimo personally designed, worth tens of millions of dollars, was stolen! Don't you understand how severe this issue is?"    

    

"Zhang Xiufeng, just take a look at your wonderful son-in-law! He doesn't seem to care about this matter whatsoever!" Lu Yahui burst into a fit of rage. The more she looked at Lin Yin, the more irritated she became. "Even after Qimo fell into such a grave situation, he doesn't seem to care about it at all!"    

    

Zhang Xiufeng frowned as he looked at Lin Yin and said in a deep voice, "Lin Yin, Qimo asked you to be the director's assistant in the first place because she needed your help. How did you end up making such a crucial mistake?"    

    

"Humph! What did I say?" Lu Yahui sighed. "Didn't I warn that we shouldn't allow a useless wimp like him to be Qimo's assistant? He didn't seem to help her at all. Qimo would immerse herself in the research and development of the jewelry every day and naturally does not have time to pay close attention to the jewelry. On the other hand, you aren't even capable of looking after a single item. What the hell were you even doing?"    

    

Lu Yahui fumed with even more rage as she spoke, "Not only that, but I even heard how you boasted in front of all the higher-ups of the company that the King of the World will appear at the jewelry exhibition tomorrow. Don't you think the matter is already big enough as it is? You damn troublemaker!"    

    

"Mom, don't be so angry," Zhang Qimo comforted. "It's not as serious as you think."    

    

"It's not serious?" Lu Yahui was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Do you know how fast the rumors outside spread? There are already rumors accusing our family of stealing the jewelry! Furthermore, they also said how you were incapable of making a piece of jewelry that lived up to their expectations even after using up all the funds. Thus, you resorted to stealing the jewelry. Rumors have it that our entire family will be sentenced to jail!"    

    

Lu Yahui said earnestly," Daughter, you are our family's only hope. It was certainly not easy for you to seize this opportunity and gain the recognition of the higher-ups. You have even been promoted to the acting director of the company because of your own efforts. During the jewelry exhibition tomorrow, you'll have a chance to make a name for yourself and stand out as a dignified figure in the industry."    

    

"However, with these things happening at such a critical moment, do you think the Board of Directors will still be willing to stand up for you? At this rate, you're going to lose your job!"    

    

Zhang Xiufeng added with a worried tone, "It's fine if you can't be a director. However, the problem is that the disappearance of the piece of jewelry worth tens of millions a day before an event as important as the jewelry exhibition will be sure to have a huge impact on the company's strategic marketing. The Board of Directors will then have to take responsibility for the investigation. Seeing how the families of Eldest Brother and Third Brother are still barely holding onto their position, they would definitely find the opportunity to add insult to injury."    

    

"That's right! Why would Zhang Tianhai and Zhang Zining's family not take advantage of the current situation? It's definitely because Lin Yin caused trouble at Zhang Zining's wedding back then and even dared to beat Zhang Tianhai up!" Lu Yahui said with utter resentment. "But look at how carefree Lin Yin is being right now. He doesn't seem to care whatsoever. This brat really doesn't have a conscience!"    

    

"Although our family finally managed to live well over the past few days, we are going to be ruined by a jinx like you again!" Lu Yahui stated mercilessly as she vented all of her anger on Lin Yin alone.    

    

"That's right. If I had not heard about the rumor, I definitely would not have found out about this," Lu Yahui suddenly recalled something else. She then swept her gaze towards Zhang Qimo and asked seriously, "Daughter, about the BMW..."    

    

She knew that her daughter could definitely not have afforded the 500,00 yuan car with her own savings.    

    

"That car is Lin Yin's..." Zhang Qimo was about to say that Lin Yin bought it.    

    

"Lin Yin! It's you again?!" Lu Yahui interrupted Zhang Qimo and looked at Lin Yin coldly. "Although I said that you were a coward, I truly believed that you were an honest man. It seems that I have underestimated you yet again. Not only do you have a bad conscience, but you are also a terrible person! Letting you taking the position as director's assistant appears to have revealed your true colors! I was wondering how my daughter managed to make so much money in such a short time, but who knew that everything was instigated by you in the first place!"    

    

"Since you followed Qimo to take charge of this project in the company, you must have gotten quite a lot of benefits yourself, right? Did the theft of the jewelry have anything to do with you? " Lu Yahui said with doubt.    

    

"Mom, that's impossible. Lin Yin would never do such a thing," Zhang Qimo stood up for Lin Yin.    

    

"How do you know he wouldn't?" Lu Yahui questioned as veins began popping out on her forehead. At this point, she was so angry that she had almost lost her mind entirely.    

    

*Ding!*    

    

At this moment, Lin Yin's phone suddenly rang. Looking at the dialer, it seemed to be Shen San.    

    

"Qimo, Mom, and Dad, I have some urgent business to take care of right now. So, I'll be taking my leave first," Lin Yin said seriously and walked out of the room.    

    

"Huh? Qimo, just look at how hard Lin Yin's wings have grown! To dare take his leave after saying only a few words!" Lu Yahui exclaimed with a furious expression.    

    

"Divorce! You must get a divorce!" Lu Yahui stated firmly. "Daughter, I can now clearly see that Lin Yin is not only a heartless bastard but also an unfaithful man. I think that he must certainly be doing something terrible outside. Perhaps he has even gotten a lot of money from the company this time and is trying to make you take the blame by yourself. Otherwise, why would he act so calmly at such a crucial time?"    

    

"Daughter, you will not have a say in the decision this time," Lu Yahui said seriously. "We must definitely chase Lin Yin out of our family by tomorrow. Otherwise, we will only be faced with endless disasters."    

    

Zhang Qimo — unable to endure her mother's nags any longer — rushed back into her room to rest.    

    

"Sigh..." Zhang Qimo laid on her bed and sighed. On the other end of the door, her parents were still arguing about this matter.    

    

*Ding!*    

    

At this time, Zhang Qimo received a text message.    

    

"I'm going to take care of this matter. Don't worry, you just need to rest and get ready to participate in the jewelry exhibition tomorrow."    

    

Seeing the text message from Lin Yin, Zhang Qimo's expression relaxed and her anxious mood inexplicably calmed down.    

    

...    

    

On the other end, Lin Yin had already walked out of Jiangchi District — his expression menacingly cold as he held onto his phone.    

    

"Master Lin, the matter that you asked me to do has been thoroughly investigated," Shen San said respectfully on the other end of the call.    

    

"Who was the one responsible?" Lin Yin asked.    

    

"It seems that Zhang Tianhai hired... a rather troublesome group from the East City to do it," Shen San said hesitantly.    

    

"Wait for me at Starlight. I want to know every single detail about what happened."    

    

"Master Lin, are you on your way over now? Where are you? I will drive over to pick you up," Shen San said eagerly.    

    

"No need."    

    

Lin Yin immediately hung up the phone.    

    

Walking over to the side of the road, Lin Yin stopped a taxi and went straight to Starlight.    

    

Before he initially went home, he had instructed Shen San to investigate this matter.    

    

At this point, it was obvious that someone from the company had purposefully turned off all the surveillance cameras in the company building and worked together with some external forces to steal the King of the World. After all, how could they possibly manage to enter the building, pry open the safe, and make their heist without leaving a single fingerprint or footprint behind? Thus, they must be experts in the field of heists.    

    

As someone who lived and worked in the underworld for so many years, Shen San proclaimed himself to be the king of such a world and possessed many connections.    

    

Twenty minutes later...    

    

Lin Yin arrived at Starlight and went straight to the meeting room on the third floor.    

    

Upon his arrival in the room, Lin Yin noticed Shen San standing alone at the side of the room.    

    

"Master Lin, you're finally here. Take a seat and have some tea."    

    

Shen San greeted him politely and handed him a cup of tea.    

    

It seemed that Shen San went all out for this meeting, for he had prepared tea, cigarettes, snacks, and even fruits on the table.    

    

Lin Yin dismissed the ceremonial acts as he simply sat on the chair that belonged to the boss and took a sip of tea.    

    

"Tell me," Lin Yin said calmly.    

    

Standing in front of the desk, Shen San bowed with utmost respect and said seriously, "Master Lin, I listened to your orders and secretly investigated Zhang Tianhai. Furthermore, I have also looked into the people who have recently been in contact with Sunn Heng and his wife. Using the clues I attained, I can confirm that this King of the World has been stolen by a person nicknamed, "Rat," in East City."    

    

"This Rat did indeed meet up with Zhang Tianhai two days ago. After further investigation, I discovered that Rat is actually quite famous in East City for specializing in pulling off successful heists," Shen San said slowly. "I originally arranged for my men to capture Rat in East City and force him to hand the piece of jewelry over. However..."    

    

After a short pause in his sentence, Shen San looked at Lin Yin with a guilty expression and continued, "I found out that Rat is actually acquainted with Xie Kun from East City. My men went to look for Rat in East City, but Xie Kun sent people over to arrest them."    

    

"Xie Kun?" Lin Yin frowned.    

    

Xie Kun, also known as Master Kun, from East City was considered a big shot in Qingyun City. As the overlord of the underworld in East City, he was on par with Shen San in terms of strength. In fact, he was even more ruthless than Shen San.    

    

"What did this... Xie Kun say?" Lin Yin asked.    

    

"Master Lin, Xie Kun and I have a deep grudge against each other. Although I gave him a call, it seemed that he has no intentions of giving me any face."    

    

"Xie Kun had made it clear that he has everything in his possession, including the King of the World and even my men," Shen San said. "After saying how I overstepped my bounds into his territory, he demands a large sum of money in exchange for my men in his hands."    

    

After saying that, Shen San stepped to the side respectfully.    

    

At this moment, Shen San's eyes fumed with rage as he thought of his sworn enemy, Xie Kun. Not only had Xie Kun detained his men this time, but he had even caused him to embarrass himself in front of Lin Yin. Thus, he could not help but feel a great sense of irritation.    

    

Lin Yin asked, "Do you know where Xie Kun is?"    

    

"Master Lin, what do you mean?" Shen San asked hesitantly.    

    

"Heh..." Lin Yin suddenly revealed an ice-cold smile that rivaled a demon's.    

    

"How dare that bastard steal something from my woman? I will make sure to make him disappear from Qingyun City!"
