When this group of people left Luo Buwei's house, Luo Buwei's expression changed, and a gloomy look crossed his face.
"What's wrong, Old Luo?"
Luo Buwei's wife poured him a glass of water. "Your expression doesn't look like everything's been settled, does it?"
"Settled? Were they negotiating with me just now?" Luo Buwei scoffed and took a sip of tea. "Play big? And then what? They want me to contact Disha, that's their idea of playing big. If something goes wrong, they'll be fine, but I'll be finished."
"Disha?"
"A killer organization," Luo Buwei didn't hide anything from his wife. "They all know that I have nothing left now. Whether it's the old lady's favor or anything else, I'm left with nothing. So, they're all prepared to discard me like a chess piece."
"But..."
"When the time comes, if something big really happens, none of them will be able to escape responsibility!" Luo Buwei sneered.
He knew it clearly.
Since Lin Xiao could know exactly how much money was left in his account, down to the decimal point, Lin Xiao must know what was in these people's accounts. Furthermore... he wasn't sure if Lin Xiao would even know about the loud plotting that had taken place at his house tonight.
He had a premonition.
Lin Xiao would even know about something like this.
And then...
It wouldn't just be him who had nothing. Perhaps, his brothers and sisters would also end up like him, unable to do anything, unable to achieve anything, and in the end, they could only watch Lin Xiao, standing before them arrogantly, taking everything away...
That would be the most desperate thing of all!
Hearing Luo Buwei's words, his wife remained silent, not daring to speak.
"I know this might be a bit too shocking for you. It's fine. You take good care of Bing Bing... That scoundrel Luo Cheng! Sigh!" Luo Buwei said with another long sigh. Although all his cash had been taken by Lin Xiao, he still had apartments and luxury cars under his name. These past few days, he had found people to sell them for him to cash out, so at least his family wouldn't have to worry about food and drink.
But if he wanted to return to his former decadent life, he had to do something.
And his brothers and sisters were his tools.
These past two days, he would wait and see what Lin Xiao would do.
...
The next morning, Lin Xiao saw the message sent by Ye Chen.
These people... really needed a harsh lesson.
He narrowed his eyes. This family, except for the old man, what was wrong with the rest of them? What kind of education did they receive?
Even he, who hadn't finished college and went to be a soldier, knew the basic principle of obeying laws and regulations. These people were too outrageous.
Birds of a feather flock together, he could understand that.
"What's wrong?"
Early in the morning, Luo Qinghan noticed Lin Xiao's expression wasn't very good and came over to ask.
"Nothing, I just feel like there aren't many normal people in the Luo family."
Lin Xiao shook his head, then looked at his wife. "In a family like this, for you to have such normal values, I feel for the first time that you are more formidable than me."
"It's precisely because of them that I vowed not to become a beast like them," Luo Qinghan said softly.
She came to the Luo family with her father after she started remembering things. Not long after, she discovered that all the people in the Luo family had distorted values. Everything the teachers taught in school that they shouldn't do, they did. Not only did they do it, but they were more outrageous than each other.
She couldn't count how many women her eldest uncle had outside. When she was in school, she remembered seeing at least ten.
Second Uncle, Third Aunt, Fifth Uncle...
Everyone had someone outside!
Perhaps...
Perhaps part of the reason was that the old man had a child outside, his father.
Of course, she couldn't say for sure, as the old man was an elder and was now advanced in age.
As for her relatives, they had always been driven by profit, either trying every means to make money or using money and violence to solve all problems.
In short, it made her feel utterly contemptible.
"Makes sense."
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Today, I'll help you get some funds back from them. The company is currently short by thirty to forty million. These people probably have a little over thirty million in total. That's just right."
"How do you know the company needs over thirty million?" Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Xiao strangely. He didn't work at the company, so how could he know they needed over thirty million right now?
This wasn't scientific.
"You... said it in your dream last night," Lin Xiao's mind raced, finding a reason.
"I had a dream last night?! And I talked in my sleep?!" Luo Qinghan quickly asked.
"Yes! Didn't you know you talk in your sleep?"
Lin Xiao immediately went along with the conversation. "I'm telling you, you kept shouting 'over thirty million, over thirty million,' and you also yelled 'I want my husband'."
"???"
Luo Qinghan stared at Lin Xiao in shock. It was the first time she knew she talked in her sleep, and not only that, it was the first time she knew that when she talked in her sleep, she said such bizarre things!
What was with "I want my husband"?
"Then you hugged me tightly. You forgot, when you woke up this morning, you were holding my hand so tightly that you wouldn't let go, even pushing Xun'er out."
"..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Luo Qinghan covered her blushing face, too embarrassed to face anyone!
Just then, Xun'er, who had finished dressing, heard their conversation and pouted. "So Mom pushed me out... Mommy's bad!"
"I'm sorry, Xun'er. Mommy's not good."
Luo Qinghan immediately hugged the little girl and frantically comforted her. "It won't happen again."
Lin Xiao chuckled secretly. Although it was true that Luo Qinghan subconsciously hugged him when she slept, pushing Xun'er out of the way, the part about talking in her sleep was a fabrication.
It was probably because Luo Qinghan had been under too much stress alone for the past few years, and she subconsciously protected Xun'er when she slept. However, now that he was by her side, and his arm was easier to grab than Xun'er's, she had grabbed him instead.
Thinking this, he went over and hugged the mother and daughter together, feeling their warmth. He kissed both of their faces.
"From now on, with me here, I won't let you two suffer anymore."
"So that's why you kissed me sneakily!"
