Chapter 873: Sooner or Later, You’ll be Implicated

The servant seemed a little awkward and said perfunctorily, “It’s so late, why are you...”

“Is my brother home?” Lin Kerou ignored the servant and ran to the second floor.

Lin Ya’s room was next to his study.

Lin Kerou ran upstairs and knocked on the door.

The servant immediately followed her and said anxiously, “Miss, Young Master went out today and isn’t back yet!”

Lin Kerou turned around and realized something was amiss. “Where are my parents?”

The servant avoided her gaze and actually looked rather pitiful.

Lin Kerou’s heart sank. She immediately threw open Lin Ya’s door.

The door was unlocked, but the room was empty.

Lin Kerou ran towards her parents’ room. However, no matter how she pounded on the door, no one answered.

It was as if they had all abandoned her.

Lin Kerou’s face turned pale and she leaned heavily against the wall, her heart cold as ashes.

The servant looked troubled. Just as she was about to say something, they heard the sound of a door opening.

Lin Yuxin walked out in a nightgown, rubbing her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Kerou immediately looked hopeful. She straightened up and grabbed Lin Yuxin’s arm, asking, “Yuxin, where are Dad, Mom, and Brother?”

The pain from Lin Kerou’s tight grip woke Lin Yuxin up.

She was a little stumped. She looked at Lin Kerou for a while and mumbled, “Dad, Mom, and Brother went to Grandpa’s house. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I didn’t go with them. Why are you looking for them in the middle of the night?”

Lin Kerou looked at Lin Yuxin’s innocent expression and frowned worriedly. Feeling very uneasy, she sneered, “Your brother-in-law has been working for your brother. You know that, right?”

“Working for Brother?” Lin Yuxin looked surprised. “Doing what exactly? But what has this got to do with you looking for them in the middle of the night?”

Lin Kerou said, “Your brother-in-law has been arrested by the police. During dinner tonight, Lin Ya gave him a document folder. Do you remember?”

Lin Yuxin did not miss the fact that Lin Kerou had addressed Lin Ya by his full name.

Lin Yuxin paused and nodded.

“It contained evidence of drug trafficking and tax evasion!” Lin Kerou’s voice was sharp. “Speaking of which, Lin Ya is the culprit. What has it got to do with Brother Donglin!”

Lin Yuxin was shocked and blurted out, “That’s impossible. Brother couldn’t possibly be doing such things!”

Impossible!

What sort of man was Lin Ya?

The honest and upright mayor was constantly concerned about the citizens. Some time ago, he went as far as to suggest that the nation increase its taxation. She had even read the report.

Every word was powerful and righteous!

Every sentence spoke for the country and the people. How could such a person be doing such things?

Lin Kerou noticed the determination in Lin Yuxin’s words, and felt jealous and amused. “Just you wait and see. Sooner or later, you will be implicated too!”

As she spoke, Lin Kerou turned to leave.

Lin Yuxin felt that it was ridiculous, but at the same time, she was also secretly shocked.

Back in her room, Lin Yuxin suddenly remembered that today was the wedding day of Chi Hailang’s sister. The groom had been arrested early in the morning. She wondered how he was doing.
