Chapter 508: Lin Kai is Overjoyed

At the Police Station.

Xu Shaochen recounted the events.

He clashed with Lin Yao at tonight’s reception and initiated the fight. Lin Yao threatened that Xu wouldn’t leave Hong Kong alive, which everyone at the reception can testify to.

Then, on the way, Lin Yao’s group intercepted Xu after his attempted abduction by Jiangnan.

In the final moments, Xu and his bodyguards fought desperately, barely escaping.

Jiangnan’s testimony would definitely align with Xu Shaochen’s since Xu taught him what to say.

Jiangnan stated that Lin Yao contacted him because of the conflict he witnessed between Lin Yao and Xu, prompting him to hold Xu at gunpoint for a joint revenge effort.

With Jiangnan’s testimony, the video evidence, and the fact that Lin Yao had ample motive due to the incident at the reception, everything seems airtight.

Lin Family.

“Where did you go? What happened to you?”

Seeing Lin Yao’s bruised face, Lin Changguan frowned.

“Nothing… It’s nothing.”

Lin Yao forced a smile, but unease gnawed at him.

He sensed he had been played by Xu Shaochen and Jiangnan, but he couldn’t pinpoint how.

“Boss, the police are here. They said the Eldest Young Master is involved in an incident tonight.”

At that moment, the Lin Family butler came in, cautiously addressing Lin Changguan.

Boom! Lin Yao’s mind went blank. The realization hit him—Xu Shaochen must have recorded everything as evidence.

Moreover, the gun had his fingerprints.

Lin Yao’s face turned pale as he dropped to his knees with a thud: “Dad, save me! You have to save me! If you don’t, I’m done for!”

“What’s going on?”

Lin Changguan frowned, a bad feeling rising within him.

“Dad… I… I messed up…”

Lin Yao cried as he recounted that night’s events.

Bang!

Lin Changguan kicked him to the ground, gritting his teeth: “You idiot! How could you fall for such a simple trap? You’re utterly foolish!”

“Yes, yes, Dad, I’m stupid, but you must save me! I don’t want to go to jail!”

Lin Yao climbed back up, kneeling before Lin Changguan and pleading desperately.

Fortunately, Lin Changguan was alone at home tonight; otherwise, things could have spiraled out of control.

“Phew~ Go tell them I’ve already gone to bed. We’ll deal with everything tomorrow.”

Lin Changguan took a deep breath, speaking calmly to the butler.

Such domineering behavior—regardless of the situation, even the police had to come at his convenience. The Lin Family wasn’t a place anyone could just break into.

“Yes, Boss.”

The butler nodded and left the living room.

Lin Changguan took out his phone to call his connections, but the results were the same each time—not that they didn’t want to help, but they simply couldn’t.

The video had already gone viral online, and with Xu Shaochen fanning the flames, there was no way to suppress the news.

In the end, Lin Changguan could only dial Xu Shaochen’s number.

“Hello, Uncle Lin. It’s late; why are you calling me?”

Listening to Xu Shaochen’s puzzled voice, Lin Changguan fought back the urge to curse and replied gently: “Shaochen, I know you and Yao have some issues, but given your relationship with Xiao Xue, we are family. Family disputes should be resolved behind closed doors. There’s no need for things to get this far, right?”

“Uncle Lin, Brother Yao pointed a gun at my head tonight. I was terrified.”

“Shaochen…”

“Oh, another call’s coming in. Let’s talk later.”

Beep… beep…

Hearing the busy signal, Lin Changguan’s face turned blue with anger. He smashed the phone against Lin Yao’s head: “Why did you provoke him? Now you’re suffering the consequences!”

“Dad… I didn’t know… I just teased him a bit in the hospital. I didn’t think he’d be so petty.”

Lin Yao was also at a loss for words. If he’d known Xu Shaochen had such a vengeful nature, he wouldn’t have even thought of teaching him a lesson.

“Boss, the police won’t leave. They’ve got the necessary paperwork to arrest the Eldest Young Master. Plus, there are reporters outside.”

Just then, the butler rushed back in, looking at Lin Changguan with urgency.

Tap, tap, tap, tap…

“Sigh, go with them. I’ll figure something out.”

Lin Changguan sighed, knowing that even the powerful Lin Family couldn’t openly resist an arrest in front of so many reporters.

Some things can be handled in the shadows, but on the surface, rules must be followed.

“Dad~”

Lin Yao was crying like a baby, but he believed the Lin Family’s power would soon free him.

He cried because once he was taken in, it would confirm everything that happened that night. His reputation would be ruined, and he would lose the qualification to inherit the Lin Corporation.

“Go on.”

Lin Changguan waved him off.

Lin Yao was ultimately taken away by the police.

Upon hearing the news, some were sad while others laughed.

Naturally, those laughing were Lin Rong and Lin Kai—Lin Kai nearly started dancing in his hospital bed.

Although they were elated, they put on a facade of grief and sorrow.

But one thing everyone who attended the reception tonight remembered was not to cross Xu Shaochen.

His methods were downright ruthless.

…………

The next day.

After a night of viral spread, the news of Lin Yao’s arrest spread all over Hong Kong, becoming a hot topic of gossip.

“Did you hear? The Eldest Young Master of the Lin Family got arrested last night.”

“I knew it! I even watched the video online. Tsk tsk, the Eldest Young Master of the Lin Family was too arrogant, pointing a gun at someone’s head.”

“Hey, the Lin Family has been in trouble lately. Do you think someone’s targeting them?”

“Ah Kai, I’ve eliminated your elder brother from the competition. You need to recover soon.”

In the hospital room, Xu Shaochen was peeling an apple and speaking earnestly to Lin Kai.

Lin Kai grinned like a fool and couldn’t hold back his excitement: “Brother Xu, deal with my second brother next. Then, I’ll be the sole heir of the Lin Family!”

“No need to rush. We must take things step by step, Chairman Lin. Don’t you think?”

Xu Shaochen was putting Lin Kai on a pedestal—raising him higher now so he could drag him down harder later.

“Hahaha…”

Hearing Xu Shaochen call him ‘Chairman Lin,’ Lin Kai felt like he was floating. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He could already see the position of head of the Lin Family and Chairman of the Lin Corporation waving at him.

Sadly, what he didn’t know was that, just like his brothers, he was nothing but a stepping stone.
