Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

0"I'm not sure either. From Third Brother's tone, it seems like he really wants to apologize to us," Zhang Xiufeng said with a hint of doubt. "I've never seen Third Brother act so polite towards me before."    0

    

Lu Yahui revealed a waning frown as she looked at Zhang Qimo and asked, "Qimo, what exactly is going on?"    

    

Zhang Qimo hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Mom, Dad, do you still remember how the King of the World that I designed was stolen by someone?"    

    

"The entire incident was planned and done by Zhang Tianhai from behind the scenes. I even have the recording evidence of him saying it himself."    

    

"What?!" Lu Yahui shouted in fury. "Zhang Tianhai again? That vicious little bastard! To think that Zhang Tianhai actually planned to sabotage you behind your back. My daughter, he's clearly trying to drag you down from your position!"    

    

"Then, where is the recording evidence? How did you even find it?" Lu Yahui asked with a puzzled expression, "I thought it was the higher-ups of the company who used their connections to deal with this matter. I did not expect the one who found the jewelry to actually be our daughter herself."    

    

"The recording is here," Zhang Qimo stated as she took out the recording plan. "Lin Yin was the one who found it. The recording evidence was also given to me by him."    

    

"Lin Yin?" Lu Yahui questioned with a slight frown. "How can a wimp like him have such abilities?"    

    

Lu Yahui looked suspiciously at Lin Yin's door and shouted, "Lin Yin, come out!"    

    

Although Lin Yin was currently meditating with his eyes closed in his room, he immediately stopped everything he was doing and walked out of the room obediently after hearing Lu Yahui's call for him.    

    

"Lin Yin, answer me truthfully. Were you really the one who found the King of the World that Qimo designed, in addition to this recording pen?" Lu Yahui asked with a face full of doubt.    

    

"I asked a friend of mine to help me," Lin Yin replied.    

    

"What friend? What does he do?" Lu Yahui questioned.    

    

"He's a private detective," Lin Yin said.    

    

"Mom, Lin Yin has not only helped us with this matter, but he has even paid a hundred thousand yuan commission to ask for his friend's assistance. Luckily, his friend managed to find the King of the World. Otherwise, we would have definitely found ourselves in big trouble," Zhang Qimo said.    

    

Humph! " Lu Yahui snorted coldly. "Qimo, don't let this brat, Lin Yin, fool you. How could this brat have such good intentions?"    

    

"To think that he would be willing to pay a hundred thousand yuan," Lu Yahui said with a dissatisfied expression. "Lin Yin must certainly have ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would he spend so much of his own money to help us?"    

    

"Besides, where did Lin Yin even get that amount of money? He must have received an abundance of benefits after becoming your assistant in the company," Lu Yahui said. "Daughter, I seemed to have been spot on with my previous speculations, right? Lin Yin must have delved into some sort of shady business outside the company, in addition to fishing out a quick buck in the company. You definitely have to be careful of him in the future."    

    

Lin Yin was naturally speechless upon hearing her baseless words. He then slumped down on the coach before lighting up a cigarette.    

    

After Lu Yahui finished nagging about Lin Yin, she turned on the recording pen.    

    

The content of the recording pen mainly comprised of the negotiations between Zhang Tianhai and Rat. Not only did it include information about Zhang Tianhai's intentions, but it even possessed the details regarding their entire plan. This recording certainly existed as evidence of their crimes.    

    

After listening to the recording, Lu Yahui and Zhang Xiufeng fumed with rising anger. However, there was also a hint of fear lingering around their expressions.    

    

"This Zhang Tianhai is too vicious! He deliberately planned to destroy our entire family!" Lu Yahui exclaimed angrily.    

    

"Third Brother's family really does see themselves as omnipotent, huh?" Zhang Xiufeng said with a hint of fear. "If it wasn't because of luck that Lin Yin managed to catch the rat by its tail, Qimo would have suffered a huge loss this time."    

    

"Right. How did the Third Family find out about this?" Lu Yahui suddenly asked.    

    

"Lin Yin sent a recording directly to Zhang Tianhai's house," Zhang Qimo replied.    

    

"What? Shouldn't you have discussed such a big matter with us first?" Lu Yahui looked at Lin Yin with dissatisfaction. "Who allowed you to make the decisions on your own? You good-for-nothing brat. Did you think that you won't be involved in this matter when Third Brother's family comes over to look for revenge? Are you trying to sabotage us?"    

    

Zhang Qimo said, "Mom, Lin Yin intended to give Zhang Tianhai a taste of his own medicine. They should at the very least give us some face after the things they've done to our family. Otherwise, why would Third Uncle's family personally come to our house to apologize to us?"    

    

"Humph!" Lu Yahui snorted coldly as she had already developed an unreasonable prejudice against Lin Yin. She then sneered, "Do you think he's really such a kindhearted person? Let me tell you, he is simply a treacherous brat. How can I not know what he is planning?"    

    

"He is trying to use our family's name to extort Zhang Tianhai's family. Even if something happens to us, he will definitely not take responsibility for it."    

    

"Lin Yin, tell me honestly, how much did you manage to attain from Zhang Tianhai's family after bargaining with them using the recording evidence?" Lu Yahui questioned.    

    

Lin Yin replied, "I have not communicated with Zhang Tianhai's family at all. Since the recording is here, why don't we see how Qimo wants to deal with this matter."    

    

"Humph, at least you know what's good for you. Knowing how you wouldn't be able to handle it, you decided to push everything on us instead," Lu Yahui said proudly. "Now that the weakness of Third Brother's family has fallen into our hands, we finally have the chance to vent our anger."    

    

"Yahui, stop scolding Lin Yin already. He has made a great contribution to our family this time," Zhang Xiufeng stood up for Lin Yin.    

    

Lu Yahui glanced at Lin Yin and said, "Having been living in our house for more than two years, he finally proved himself to be of use this time. However, if Qimo had not risen up to the position of Chief Design Officer and allowed him to become her assistant, would he be able to earn enough money to handle this matter?"    

    

"Thus, our daughter is the one who allowed everything to happen. Lin Yin's action is merely a natural cause of our daughter's efforts," Lu Yahui said arrogantly.    

    

"Alright, let's not be distracted and talk about the situation at hand. How should we act when Third Brother comes over later?" Zhang Xiufeng said with a worried expression. "Although Third Brother's family may have suffered a huge loss, they are nevertheless better off than us. We must think of a way to handle this properly."    

    

Lu Yahui frowned before falling into deep thought.    

    

*Ding! Dong!*    

    

At this time, the doorbell rang.    

    

"Hey, Fifth Brother, it's really been a long time since we last saw each other. I assume your family has been doing pretty well recently, right?" Zhang Hongxuan took the initiative and walked into the house with a smile on his face. He looked as if he was talking to a close member of his family.    

    

He was holding two exquisite gift boxes in his hands, seeming to contain precious jade within.    

    

Zhang Tianhai followed behind him with a face fuming in hatred.    

    

"We have certainly been doing quite well these days. Third Brother, sit down and have some tea," Zhang Xiufeng dragged a chair over and handed a cup of tea to Zhang Hongxuan.    

    

"Fifth Brother, Tianhai was tricked by people outside the family and ended up committing an unforgivable act towards your family this time. To think that he would actually cause a ruckus within the company and almost ruin Qimo's project. For such things to happen within the family, our family must be suffering some kind of misfortune. I will take full responsibility for my son's actions. Fifth Brother, I am the one who ultimately let you down!" Zhang Hongxuan said with a seemingly sincere tone.    

    

"Ah, how could Zhang Tianhai be confused by the people outside? He is clearly the mastermind behind this incident and planned to sabotage our family!" Lu Yahui stated bluntly without any intentions of giving Zhang Hongxuan face.    

    

"Fifth Brother, Sister-In-Law, don't think too much about it. The two of you have watched Tianhai grow up. How could he possess such despicable thoughts? Even I never expected that this unfilial son would do such a heartless thing without telling me!" Zhang Hongxuan wore a pained look on his face as he glared menacingly at Zhang Tianhai. "You unfilial son, come over and apologize to your Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, and Qimo!"    

    

Although Zhang Tianhai's face flushed crimson with anger, he reluctantly walked over and lowered his head.    

    

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, Qimo, I truly apologize for my actions this time. I was possessed and have committed something truly deplorable. Please accept my apology and forgive me," Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.    

    

Seeing the father and son pair lower their voices, Zhang Qimo's family of three felt extremely satisfied. After all, they have been messed with by the Third Brother's family for the longest time. They have truly sighed a breath of relief this time.
