Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 595 Raising troops to investigate crimes
That's why they say it's hard for women to get married as they get older. They're so damn shrewd. Lin Mo just casually mentioned it, and they immediately understood.

But then again, it wasn't actually that hard to guess. After all, although the siblings weren't together every day, Su He knew his condition perfectly well. He was in great health, had a good appetite, and seemed to have nothing to do every day. Judging from his condition, he didn't seem to be seriously ill.

But even so, upon seeing him this time, they were surprised to find that Lin Mo's face was deathly pale. And just then, Liu Ruyan returned, and since she hadn't slept well the night before, the answer was already obvious.

Otherwise, given her brother's physical condition, how could he be in the same state now, with his face practically etched with fatigue?

At her age, what doesn't her cousin Su He understand? You know, what Liu Ruyan and the others talk about in private can't be made public, or it'll get them into trouble.

"No, no, please don't bother me. I'm busy here."

Seeing that her cousin was about to call Liu Ruyan, Lin Mo quickly put down what she was doing and stopped her.

"You're still siding with her. If this continues, I feel like you're going to die young. This woman is indeed a man-eater. And you, just keep playing around. Sooner or later you'll fall for Liu Ruyan's tricks."

"Besides, you're already like this, why are you still coming to the restaurant? You should just close it down and rest properly," my cousin Su He spat.

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's alright. There are only two tables today, and Aunt Yang is helping out, so it's much easier. Besides, I'm almost done, so a little longer won't make a difference!"

There were only two tables of guests today, and with Aunt Yang as his assistant, his workload was reduced significantly, so he didn't feel particularly tired.

At least he felt that as long as he could come out, it was already a holiday. He knew better than anyone how he had spent the past two days.

After looking around the kitchen, Su He nodded. There really wasn't much food left, which put her at ease.

Soon, at 6:20, Lin Mo had prepared all the dishes, which were then served by the waiter, allowing him to finally rest.

"Aunt Yang, I'm leaving the kitchen to you now. You can go home once you're done. As for your wages, it's the same as always. My cousin will settle the bill for you later," Lin Mo said after changing out of his chef's uniform.

Hearing this, Aunt Yang nodded: "Of course, go and rest, boss, I'll take care of things in the kitchen!"

Although there were only two tables of customers that day, Lin Mo was busy from morning till night, and she knew that this job was not as easy as she had imagined.

It's fair to say that no money comes for free, but Lin Mo has never complained about being tired. After all, he knows that his workload is already incredibly easy compared to that of the average person, and he also earns an income that most people can only dream of. So what is there to complain about?
Keep in mind that he works the equivalent of four days a month, but his income can reach an average of 200 million. Such exorbitant profits are something that anyone else could earn by working 24 hours straight without rest.

This is precisely why the public feels resistant when celebrities who earn hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars complain about being tired.

After all, it was reported that Shuang earned 208 million yuan a day and tens of millions of yuan in one night, but these were just a small part of the story.

Soon, the siblings went upstairs and went to rest in the private room with the character "Yuan".

Miss Yuan's private room is not used very often, so it is mostly used for rest.

The siblings sat down, and the waiter brought them hot water to make tea, which was a small relief.

"Brother, you really got into trouble this time. If it weren't for Liu Ruyan by your side, you wouldn't be able to clear your name even if you jumped into the Yellow River. I was thinking of calling you, but then I remembered that Liu Ruyan was with you, and the online sentiment was all on your side, so I didn't. I've been really busy with work lately, I'm exhausted!"

"By the way, how did you resolve this matter? What's the situation now?" As soon as she sat down, her cousin Su He hurriedly asked.

It's obvious she saw the news online; with such a huge public outcry, it would be hard for her not to know.

As for him being Brother Shou, who is worth two hundred million US dollars, Su He already knew this, since she had gone with him when he went to the police station to file a report.

Hearing this, Lin Mo took a sip of tea and pouted, "Even without Liu Ruyan, I can still annihilate the enemy!"

"Get lost! Do you think you're Hu Ge, annihilating enemy troops? I bet you've never been beaten by so-called martial arts!" Su He rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully.

You have to understand, given the situation that day, if Liu Ruyan hadn't been there, Lin Mo would have had a hard time proving his innocence, and might even have been subjected to sarcastic remarks in a lengthy post.

"Sis, you're underestimating me a bit. Let me tell you, if someone hadn't been holding me back, I would have wanted to have a fair samurai duel with them. At worst, I'd just get detained," Lin Mo retorted.

Upon hearing this, his cousin Su He punched him: "Get out of here! What era are we living in? Fighting like this? What if people say you were caught peeping and then you get angry and hit them?"
It's common sense to avoid physical violence if possible. My mom even called me. By the way, didn't my aunt call you?

"Yes, I called. Of course I called. She called the next day. But my mom wasn't worried. Instead, she chatted happily with Liu Ruyan," Lin Mo said helplessly.

With such a big incident happening and spreading so widely online, how could her mother not know? Even if her mother couldn't see it, her colleagues would have shared it with her.

However, when his mother saw Liu Ruyan in the video, she was no longer worried at all, and her eyes were full of praise for her future daughter-in-law.

After all, Zhou Min couldn't be happier than having a girl who could protect her son from the outside world.

"My second aunt doesn't understand how powerful these women are either. It's only because your side won, and your classmate Li Chuan has a lot of online traffic, that your family might have been affected."

"By the way, what happened in the end? How is it going now?" Cousin Su He shook her head and then asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo chuckled and said, "What else can we do? The online public opinion has already been taken control."

The police have also proven my innocence. Now Liu Ruyan has hired a lawyer and is pursuing the other party's responsibility. She insists on making them issue a public apology online, regardless of the money; she just wants to ensure the other party doesn't get away with it.

“That’s typical of Liu Ruyan. Her strong sense of responsibility makes her the perfect person for this kind of thing,” Su He nodded. Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and then asked, “By the way, cousin, how’s your work going? Is it easy?”

"What's there to do? The company has a new leader and is implementing reforms. I'm exhausted both physically and mentally lately. Otherwise, I would have come to see you a long time ago because I've been so busy these past few days, plus it's snowing. I don't want to go to this stupid class at all. You'd better hurry up!" Su He rolled her eyes at him and said.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Me? What should I hurry up for?"

"Hurry up and get Liu Ruyan pregnant with the baby. Once you two are engaged, I'll go live with my brother's wife. I'll eat her food and drink her water. Since she was able to mess with my brother, I can live off her for the rest of my life!" Su He said through gritted teeth.

If the two of them were to get engaged, they would be considered relatives, and given their classmate relationship, Su He would have a perfectly legitimate reason to pin the blame on Liu Ruyan.

Besides, she wasn't just a freeloader; her work ability was undeniable. She was more than capable of being a manager in Liu Ruyan's company. Although it wasn't a family business, she was certainly doing very well there.

In addition, with the restaurant Lin Mo runs, she earns a basic income of 10,000 yuan a month, plus the profit from purchasing ingredients, so she can live more comfortably than most people.

Earning tens of thousands of yuan a month with hardly any work and plenty of free time—just thinking about that kind of life makes her eager to get started.

"This is a bit too fast, isn't it? We've only been talking for a short time," Lin Mo said helplessly.

Hearing this, Su He rolled her eyes at him: "Idiot, that's why I said we should get married because of pregnancy. As long as you're pregnant, you have to get married no matter how short the pregnancy is. You can't just have an abortion!"

"You've been working so hard these past few days, putting in so much effort, there should be some hope, right?"

"Ahem, we have measures in place!"

"Huh? You turned so pale, all that effort for nothing?"

"She wouldn't let me have it, and she even beat me up!"

"Then let me teach you a trick. All you need is a needle!"

In response, Lin Mo leaned back tactically. It was quite something that her cousin could come up with such a dirty trick.

Besides, not wanting children wasn't Liu Ruyan's own idea. He didn't want them either. What a joke! How old was he? In his early twenties, in the prime of his life. He hadn't even seen the beautiful landscapes of the motherland yet. And you, for your own happiness, actually want me to be your father?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Wanting a good life isn't impossible, but you have to create it with your own hands. How did you come up with such a vicious idea? You're lazy and good-for-nothing, I despise you!" Lin Mo said righteously.

Hearing this, Su He sneered: "Rely on yourself? That's too tiring. As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, and when you're out, you rely on your relatives. I don't have any great skills in this life, but as long as I sell you for a good price, I'll be set for life. Now you're telling me to rely on myself? I've raised you for a thousand days, and now I need you for one. It's time for you to make some necessary sacrifices. You need to know how to make the right choices, otherwise, these fists of mine aren't to be trifled with!"

As she spoke, Su He gestured with her little fists at him twice, but Lin Mo ignored her completely.

"You? You think you can beat me up?"

"If I can't beat you up, can't I go beat up Liu Ruyan? If you push me too far, I'll make her pay every time she comes!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
What the hell? What kind of outrageous language is this? Is this even appropriate?
But my cousin Su He had already planned it out long ago. This was a business with no risk and huge profits. It was worth it, a really big deal!
Time flew by and it was already 8:30 p.m. The two tables of guests left one after another. After the waiters finished cleaning up, Su He settled their wages for the day on the spot, and then the two of them walked back.

At 9:30 p.m., the two drove their car slowly into the residential area. Lin Mo was carrying large and small bags, which contained vegetables and other ingredients that he had prepared in advance.

"Cousin, well, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You should go back now! I'm really fine," Lin Mo said cautiously as she got out of the car.

Upon hearing this, Su He stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and took the things from his hand: "Don't worry, little brother, your cousin won't watch you suffer. If I don't beat Liu Ruyan's chest until it's swollen today, you can ask me for a second!"

"No, I mean, I've been doing alright lately!" Lin Mo tried to explain.

Su He's sympathy deepened at this: "What nonsense are you talking about, child? Look at you, your face is so pale. You're my second aunt's only son. I'm going to confront Liu Ruyan today. People who don't know better will think our family is deserted. Today, your cousin will definitely get justice for you!"

After saying that, Su He picked up her things and went upstairs.

Lin Mo:
If I had known my cousin was so helpful, you should have come sooner!

You only know to turn when you hit a wall, you only know to buy when stocks go up, you only know to wipe your nose when it's drooling—why didn't you do that sooner?
'Beep~ Click'

As the fingerprint verification sound came, the sound of the lock opening came from the living room door.

"My little brother's back! What delicious treats did he bring?"

As the door opened, Liu Ruyan rushed out barefoot, arms outstretched, seemingly ready to give him a big hug.

But the next second, Liu Ruyan's head was pressed against something, and she heard Su He sneer: "You audacious madman, how dare you torture my brother like this? Today you will pay for your crime in blood. Liu Ruyan, do you know your crime?"

Liu Ruyan: →_→

"What are you doing here? Are you here to be a third wheel again?"

Facing Su He, Liu Ruyan was not afraid at all. "I've already taken advantage of you, what use do I have for you?"
The next second, Su He roared in fury: "I'll fucking strip you naked!"
