In the middle of the night in late autumn, it rained heavily for the first time in history.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if a hole had broken in the sky and the rain was rushing down, washing away the filth and ugliness of the city.

A Bentley was parked on the roadside in the countryside outside the city. The heavy rain had splashed muddy water on the white body of the car, making it look unsightly.

Lin Tianhao sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The windshield wipers were set to the highest gear, but the high-speed swing was still not faster than the sudden rainstorm.

Yuan Qing sat in the back seat of the car and asked tremblingly: "Tianhao, will he come?"

"Shut up and don't talk too much."

Lin Tianhao's eyes roamed around, constantly scanning the surroundings, fearing that any danger would suddenly appear. The whole person seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move.

Suddenly, the door of the Bentley was opened and a figure in a black raincoat jumped into the car.

The rain hat almost covered most of his face, but the conspicuous scar on his dark face was still clearly visible.

"Mr. Lin."

The man raised his cold eyes, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

This made Lin Tianhao shudder.

Perhaps it was the murderous aura of the man that shocked Yuan Qing in the back seat. She covered her mouth in shock, and fear filled her eyes.

The man glanced back and said, "Oh, Mr. Lin brought an assistant with him. Do you want to kill me from behind?"

Lin Tianhao hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood Black Knife, this is my wife. It would be good to have more people to cover us."

The man named Heidao curled his lips in contempt: "Boss Lin, don't have any other ideas. I still have the recorded evidence. If I don't make it back alive today, my brother will naturally help me hand it over to the police."

"No, no, how could I dare to do that in front of Brother Heidao? I am a man of my word." Lin Tianhao flattered timidly.

"Where's the money?"

"It's in the suitcase in the trunk. Just open it and take it."

The corner of Heidao's mouth slightly raised an arc: "Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will come to you again if I don't have enough money in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heidao opened the car door, walked to the trunk, took out the suitcase with one hand, and disappeared into the fields without looking back.

The smooth operation took only a dozen seconds and Yuan Qing was dumbfounded.

The suitcase filled with two million yuan must weigh at least forty or fifty kilograms, but Hei Dao can lift it effortlessly with one hand. That shows extraordinary strength.

Lin Tianhao felt that everything was a little unreal. He looked at the water stains and mud left by the man on the passenger seat and frowned.

"Tianhao, although two million is not a large sum, if he runs out of money in the future and comes to extort money like this, even the king of heaven can't resist it. Besides, our Lin family is now..."

Before Yuan Qing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Tianhao: "Do you think I don't know? Do you need me to tell you?!"

"What should we do? This Black Knife has handed the evidence to someone else, and we can't kill him..."

Lin Tianhao snorted: "I don't know whether there is any evidence..."

"That……?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. How are that brat Lin Xiao and Xiao Tongyu?"

Yuan Qing leaned back in the chair, feeling somewhat helpless: "He gave up. I don't know who beat him up a while ago, but he refused to call the police."

Lin Tianhao knew about this matter. He suspected at the time that the person who beat Lin Xiao up and made him insist on not calling the police was most likely Ji Yunze.

Xiao Tongyu is indeed not simple.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Yuan Qing continued to ask: "Tianhao, what secret does Xiao Tongyu have? If it was just the property she had, you wouldn't insist on your son being with her."

Sure enough, his wife still understood him. Lin Tianhao whispered, "Don't worry about this for now, we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, he started the car.

……

Lin Zhai.

During dinner, Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing seemed a little unusual. They didn't say a word, but kept winking at each other, looking like they were worried.

Lin Xiao saw it all and didn't ask any more questions.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard some noise downstairs. He got up quietly and saw Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing sneaking out with a large suitcase.

There must be something fishy about this series of unreasonable behaviors.

He wanted to follow them to see where they went, but it would be too conspicuous to drive his own car behind them in the middle of the night. In the end, Lin Xiao gave up the idea.

While his parents were away, he sneaked into their room and started searching through all the drawers and cabinets.

Although Lin Xiao knew in his heart that if there was any crucial evidence, his father would never put it openly in the drawer of his room, he still wanted to give it a try.

Lawyer Wang's words of suspicion about the Lin family still linger in his mind and cannot be shaken off.

He couldn't believe that his parents would do such a thing.

But people are so contradictory. On the one hand, they don't want to believe, but on the other hand, they are desperately looking for evidence to prove their parents' guilt.

Suddenly, a photo at the bottom of the drawer caught his eye.

In the photo, Lin Tianhao, Yuan Qing, Lin Xiao and Xiao Tongyu are sitting at the dining table, smiling at the camera.

It seemed that the photo was taken to celebrate Lin Xiao's success in the college entrance examination. In the photo, Xiao Tongyu was still in high school. She was wearing a blue and white school uniform, had some baby fat, wore big glasses, and had a silly mushroom head.

Xiao Tongyu now is no different from when he was in high school, except that he has lost a lot of weight, took off his glasses, grew long hair, and become more fashionable and knows how to dress up.

In Lin Xiao's memory, Xiao Tongyu always wore the washed-out school uniform and rarely had any nice new clothes.

Come to think of it, this was probably the only group photo of four people taken after Xiao Tongyu arrived at the Lin family.

Lin Xiao sat on the ground holding the photo for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the sound of a door opening downstairs brought him back to his senses.

He put the photo in his pocket and walked towards the stairs.

"Dad, mom."

Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing were shocked when they heard their son's voice.

The two looked up in horror and saw the tall figure standing at the stairs looking at them.

"Where have you been?"

Lin Tianhao was still a little shocked: "Ah, we went out for a walk."

"Midnight? Heavy rain?"

Yuan Qing quickly replied, "Yes, Mom's chest feels a little stuffy, so I'm going to take your dad out for some fresh air."

Just as she finished her words, there was a dull thunder like the roar of a cannon, which frightened her so much that she almost fell to the ground.

Lin Tianhao stroked his trembling chest: "Lin Xiao, if you have nothing else to do, go to sleep. There is a meeting at the company tomorrow morning..."

"Dad, Mom, are you two hiding something from me?"

Yuan Qing quickly denied: "I don't have a son, you think too much."

Having said that, her eyes couldn't help but wander around, and she didn't dare to look directly at Lin Xiao.

Lin Tianhao's face was not very good: "Lin Xiao, you have time to be suspicious, why don't you think about the company's affairs, or get Xiao Tongyu."

A surge of anger instantly rushed to Lin Xiao's head: "Dad, are you still sane? It's already this time and you're still plotting against Tongtong? The three of us are responsible for what has happened now!"

Lin Tianhao yelled, "Lin Xiao! How dare you talk to me like that?! Who raised you to be like this?! Without our Lin family, would Xiao Tongyu have fallen in love with you?!"

Lin Xiao snorted, his tone full of disdain: "If I can get Tongtong, I would rather not be named Lin."

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back.
