Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

…………

the other side.

Tazhai.

Ancestral hall.

Half an hour passed.

Lin Can and others who went to search for Cao Jianjun have not yet sent back any news.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the probability that people will leave Tazhai.

Lin Yaodong gave a signal, and Lin Yaohua, the second wife, made a phone call to his son.

"Ah Chan, what's going on?"

"Dad, we haven't found it yet."

On the other end of the phone, Ah-Can's breathless voice came through: "We checked the village's surveillance footage, but we found almost no trace of Cao Kun anywhere."

"It can't be delayed any longer."

Lin Yaohua wasn't very confident and looked at the entire family warily.

"I know, I will do it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Ah-Can hung up.

Lin Yaohua had the phone on speakerphone, deliberately making sure everyone present could hear him, to show that he had no ulterior motives.

"Lin Yaodong, what should we do if we can't find him?"

The oldest man spoke up, tapping the ground repeatedly with his cane.

“I know that over the years, the Lin family of Tazhai has been brought up step by step by you, Yaodong…”

"It's also because of your abilities that the younger generation of the Lin family got married..."

"However, what you did this time was really too much."

"Today, in front of these ancestors, you must give everyone an explanation."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the other old men and uncles started shouting along.

Lin Yaodong's agitation began again.

He took off his glasses, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and then put them back on.

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Lin Yaodong slapped the octagonal table repeatedly, then grabbed a water glass and smashed it on the ground with a loud crack.

"Have you had enough of arguing?"

"Fifty million US dollars, that's what I asked everyone to take, that's true..."

"But don't I also hope that everyone can earn more money?"

"Put your hands on your hearts and tell me, in all these decades, when have I, Lin Yaodong, ever embezzled a single penny from anyone..."

"It hasn't been easy for our Tazhai to get to where it is today, step by step."

"Look, now the village has a kindergarten, a primary school, a middle school, and even a nursing home..."

"This truly ensures that children are cared for and the elderly are supported. How many villages in the country can achieve this?"

"You only see today. I've been deceived. Do you think the population of Tazhai, which is over 20,000, just appeared out of nowhere?"

Objectively speaking, Lin Yaodong is definitely in the wrong, but he is good at bolstering his own position.

Sure enough, once he talked about the history of Tazhai and his own contributions, the villagers began to discuss it quietly.

Some of the elderly people nodded frequently, seemingly agreeing with what Lin Yaodong said.

buzz-

At this time.

The cell phone on the octagonal table suddenly vibrated twice.

Lin Yaodong picked it up casually and was about to answer the call when he saw his grandfather, uncles, and other relatives all focusing their attention on his face.

Lin Yaodong immediately understood, so he simply placed the phone on the table before answering the call and turning on the speakerphone.

"Hello? Mr. Lin, I finally got through to you on the phone."

As soon as Cao Jianjun's voice came through the phone, everyone instantly became agitated.

Lin Yaodong reacted quickly, gesturing for everyone to be quiet, and then craning his neck.

"Boss Cao, where did you go?"

"Brother, are you kidding me?"

Cao Jianjun said in a bewildered tone, "I took the fifty million US dollars as you instructed. If I don't run away, am I supposed to stay in Tazhai and be killed by you?"

"Mr. Lin, stop joking around. Hey... how much do you want? I'll transfer it to you now, and then I'm leaving."

"..."

The words were heard clearly, but everyone's eyes instantly focused on something Lin Yaodong was saying.

As you command?

What are your instructions?

Lin Yaodong laughed at his own blatant attempt to frame him.

"Boss Cao, what are you talking about? I gave you the money, where's your technology?"

"Hey Mr. Lin, are you fucking messing with me? What kind of skills do I have?"

Cao Jianjun was practically cursing: "A few months ago, you called me and told me to come here, pretend to be a drug-making expert, and then swindle money from those idiots in Tazhai."

"You also said that this money would be used to fill your current broken cash flow, and then we would split the profits."

"Brother, what do you mean by saying that?"

155. The whole village rebelled, trampling down Lin Yaodong's door. [2 chapters, please subscribe]

"..."

The smile on Lin Yaodong's face gradually froze.

Cao Jianjun is clearly framing and trying to frame someone. I wouldn't believe such a despicable tactic, and neither would Lin Yaohua.

Even Lin Can and his group wouldn't believe it.

But... someone will.

When Lin Yaodong raised his eyes, he saw his uncles, Lin Zonghui, and others surrounding him looking at him with puzzled expressions.

Lin Yaodong knew he was doomed.

At this point, the more you explain, the more suspicious they become.

But if I don't explain, I'll only seem more guilty.

"Wait? Mr. Lin, speak up."

After a long silence, Cao Jianjun impatiently urged, "Boss Lin, I'm going crazy from being cooped up in your basement! What do you want from me?"

"???"

basement?

Snapped!

Lin Yaodong knew he couldn't let Cao Jianjun spout nonsense any longer, so he immediately hung up the phone.

The atmosphere at the scene was somber. The atmosphere that Lin Yaodong had just managed to maintain was instantly disrupted by Cao Jianjun's phone call.

Lin Zonghui and all the uncles and elders turned their attention to him.

Although no one spoke, everyone's eyes conveyed the best inquiry.

"Zonghui, all you grandfathers and uncles..."

Lin Yaodong was shocked. Holding his phone, he looked at everyone and asked, "You don't really believe what that guy surnamed Cao said?"

"Can't you guys use your brains and think this through? Me... teaming up with an outsider to swindle everyone's money? Am I, Lin Yaodong, insane?"

"If I wanted to scam money, why would I lead everyone to manufacture drugs? Couldn't I just do it alone?"

"Besides, why haven't I left after I've swindled the money? Why?"

Linglong: 279955637

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

At this moment, not only the uncles and elders of the family gathered around, but also the men, women, and children on the periphery all came together.

"We can't just believe whatever Lin Yaodong says..."

"Yes, whether it's true or not, we'll find out by searching his house..."

"Lin Yaodong, do you dare to take us to your house?"
