Chapter 338 Lin Shi'an's Whereabouts
After listening, Lin Yangyang remained silent for a long time: "Sister Qing, why did our Lin family end up like this?"

Lin Zhiqing did not answer, because she simply couldn't answer.

This question may never have an answer.

Many things have no answers; a butterfly flaps its wings, and everything changes dramatically.

Seeing that Lin Zhiqing didn't answer, Lin Yangyang didn't dwell on it and simply changed the subject:

“Sister Qing, we are now trapped in the Zhenyuan Marquis’s mansion, which is far too passive.”

"You said before that there would always be a way to get out, but what exactly is that way? I have no idea."

Lin Zhiqing looked into the distance: "Cousin, whether we can get out depends on my brother."

"Shi'an?" Lin Yangyang was taken aback when she heard the news about Lin Shi'an, and her voice was a little loud.

Realizing she was speaking loudly, she quickly covered her mouth and spoke again after a moment:
"Sister Qing, isn't Shi'an trapped by the Marquis of Zhenyuan? How can he save us?"

"Cousin, what if I told you that my brother's predicament was also part of my plan?" Lin Zhiqing stared intently at Lin Yangyang.

Lin Yangyang looked doubtful upon hearing this:
"That's not right, how could that be?"

"When Shi'an went to Yunnan, we didn't know the truth about Second Uncle's matter!"

Lin Zhiqing shook his head:
“Cousin, the timing you’re thinking of is wrong. After I learned that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was not in Shengjing, I immediately wrote a letter to my cousin, telling him to be careful.”

"My cousin was indeed arrested, but he's creating an opportunity for you and me."

"He himself didn't know we would put on such a big show at first, and even I didn't know."

“I originally intended to use the Zhenyuan Marquis’s Mansion’s crime of imprisoning my cousin to put pressure on the Zhenyuan Marquis’s Mansion and make them support a retrial.”

"Although the process has been somewhat tortuous, the results have been very fruitful."

"Upon hearing the news of my father's case being retried, my cousin will naturally take action."

Lin Zhiqing's eyes are very bright.

Meanwhile, Lin Shi'an, whom he mentioned, was huddled in a residential house, dressed like an ordinary commoner.

His hands and feet were shackled, and after an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the door and threw in a dry, hard steamed bun.

Then, the man who threw the steamed bun entered the room and kicked Lin Shi'an's foot:

"Hey, get up and eat! Stop pretending to be dead!"

Lin Shi'an opened his eyes but did not pick up the steamed bun.

"Hmph!" The man sneered, "What's with your high-and-mighty attitude? Don't you know what the Lin family's situation is like now?"

"If you have the strength to starve yourself, why don't you hurry up and escape from here?"

"You call yourself a young master from a high-ranking family? How are you any different from me? If you're a man, stand up!"

For some unknown reason, the man humiliated Lin Shi'an with abandon, as if he were in a very good mood.

Lin Shian and Minrui noticed this abnormality. Although the man had made many sarcastic remarks before, they were not nearly as intense as they were today.

Unless, he's gotten some information about the Lin family!
Thinking of this, Lin Shi'an stood up, and the chains moved, making a heavy sound.

He retorted, "Fool, do you think you can keep me locked up for a while, or for a lifetime?"

"I am the young master of the Lin family, and you are nothing but a piece of trash who appeared out of nowhere. How dare you speak to me?"

Lin Shi'an narrowed his eyes, his words utterly merciless:
"No matter how much you hate me, it doesn't change the fact that I'm of higher status than you. What's the use of being jealous?"

After saying that, he spat on the ground, his words dripping with sarcasm.

The man was known for his volatile temper, and he immediately flew into a rage, kicking Lin Shi'an hard.
"Who do you think you are now, daring to speak to me like that? If it weren't for the Marquis's mercy, your corpse would have been fed to wild dogs long ago." "You really think you're still the young master of the Lin family? Don't you know? The imperial court has announced that it will reopen the Lin Congrong case."

"You know how ruthless our Marquis is; the Lin family is about to fall!"

After saying that, as if he was still not satisfied, he kicked Lin Shi'an several more times.

Only after Lin Shi'an fell silent did the man snort coldly and walk out, fearing that he might actually kill the man and be unable to explain himself.

Lin Shi'an remained motionless, but his eyes shone with an unusual brightness.

The imperial court is going to reopen my second uncle's case!
This is great news!

Although he didn't know how this matter came about, he was certain that it must have been Lin Zhiqing's idea.

Now all he needs to do is break free from this predicament, find out about the Lin family, and act accordingly.

Since the person's attitude just now didn't seem like the Jiang family was going to suffer, it's very likely that the Lin family has lost this situation.

It must have been extremely difficult for Lin Zhiqing to achieve this.

Regardless, he had to escape as planned and then reunite with Lin Zhiqing.

If Lin Zhiqing or the Lin family gets into trouble, he can think of a solution.

Thinking of this, he moved his wrist, and soon the chain came off.

Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Lin Yangyang's, they were still extraordinary.

Moreover, when he served in the imperial court, he was always cautious and timid for the sake of the Lin family, and never showed his true strength.

Many people didn't take him, an adopted son of the Lin family, seriously, including Jiang Yunhe.

That's why he has this opportunity today.

After all the chains on his body came off, he quickly dusted himself off, ignoring the bruises and welts on his body, and soon walked to the door.

Just as he was about to push open the door and leave, a series of very messy footsteps rang out.

Do not!
Not one!
There were many paths, a dense multitude of footsteps.

Hearing more and more footsteps, Lin Shi'an's heart sank. Could it be that Jiang Yunhe had realized he was not simple and sent people to stop him?

That does not work!

Lin Shi'an quickly returned to his original spot, picked up the chain, and shook it.

He found the tool quite handy, wrapped the chain around his hand, and walked back to the door, making thorough preparations.

Yes, he intends to force his way out.

Now that his goal had been achieved, he could not break his promise and had to meet up with Lin Zhiqing!

At this time, he did not know that Lin Zhiqing was in the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion; he only knew that he had made an agreement with Lin Zhiqing.

As long as the imperial court announces a retrial of Lin Congrong's case, the Lin family will definitely run into trouble, and he must rush back.

He took a deep breath and stared intently at the door.

Soon, a dense mass of footsteps began searching the surrounding area.

A series of footsteps stopped in front of his door.

Furthermore, the person outside hurriedly opened the door, as if searching for something or confirming something.

The moment the door opened, Lin Shi'an gripped the chains tightly, but when he saw the figure outside, his eyes widened.

Lu Huai!
