"Didnât you say my brother was drunk and couldnât even stand, so how could he have the strength to force you? Right?"
"...How would I know? Iâm here, you can go back now. Anyway, the child is already here, even if you want to welch on this, you canât."
Lin Wan clearly saw her guilty conscience, and Lin Wan chose not to pursue it further, standing there watching her leave the courtyard, waiting for a long time before finally leaving.
When she got home, her brother and sister-in-law had already gone upstairs. Dad and Mom thought it wasnât suitable to talk at home, so they waited at the door for her. When they saw her return, they directly took her out for a walk, and later picked up Tuantuan after school.
"Is what your brother and sister-in-law said true? Did that woman target your brotherâs money?" Lin Guozhi asked.
"Hmm, my brother said so, Dad, my brother wouldnât lie. You guys saw that woman today too, she clearly isnât trustworthy. We need to find a way to handle this. If we let her continue causing trouble, it would be bad for my brother, and might even affect his future."
"This does need a solution. Letâs wait for your brother and sister-in-law to sort things out first, then weâll talk." Lin Guozhi contemplated deeply and found it inappropriate to disclose too much to the children.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Wan hurriedly drove home, just in time for Little Star and Dingding to finish school.
That night, Lin Wan didnât know how her brother coaxed her sister-in-law, but the next day when she went over, her brother and sister-in-law were no longer like they were the day before.
Her sister-in-law actively sought her out, saying she had come up with a plan. After discussing it together, the two sisters-in-law began to take action.
When her sister-in-law went out to withdraw money, Lin Wan called Hu Dong, asking if he had anything that could record audio.
It was quite hard to find something at that moment, but there were many tape recorders available. Lin Wan went to the market and bought a small tape recorder; it could be used later for her daughterâs English study.
With everything prepared, her sister-in-law brought back one hundred thousand in cash. A big bag, which she plopped right in front of Lin Wan.
"Sister-in-law, isnât this too much? A hundred thousand could buy a house for her."
"Without any tempting things laid in front of her, how would she tell the truth? Here is this hundred thousand; she can take it all now, but soon enough, she will have to return it all too."
"Alright, sister-in-law, youâre so bold. Iâm ready, letâs go."
"Okay." Mu Qing asked Lin Yinghui to call that woman to meet at a tea house in the city. Luckily, there were private rooms there.
When Lin Wan and Mu Qing arrived, Wang Rui hadnât shown up yet. Lin Wan quickly prepared, putting the recorder into a bag, and casually placed the bag on the table.
After ordering snacks and tea, Lin Wan kept an eye downstairs. When Wang Rui slowly entered the tea house, Lin Wan discreetly pressed the button.
"You guys?" She had thought the call was from Lin Yinghui, but it turned out to be his wife and sister.
These two women were not easy to deal with.
"Yes, what? Must it be my husband?"
Wang Rui pursed her lips and said nothing, reluctantly sitting down. "I made it clear yesterday, Iâm not going to compromise on this issue."
"Are you certain? Iâll give you one more chance. Today, I want to know whatâs really happening. If you donât speak up, trust me, youâll regret it in a second." Lin Wan said with a smile just as Mu Qing placed the bag of money onto the table.
The striking pile of money caught Wang Ruiâs eyes immediately.
Mu Qing looked at her and smirked, "I donât know what your intentions are, but let me tell you: even if youâre pregnant with Ah Huiâs child, she wonât spare you, neither the child nor you. Besides, from what I understand, you didnât do anything that night. Now, I simply want to hear the truth from you. As long as you speak, you can take this money immediately."
"Can I, can I take it?"
"Yes, just a few words, and you can take it any time."
"I want to know how you conned my Ah Hui in the first place."
"I didnât con her, I was..."
"No rush, think it through before you speak. If any word you utter isnât true, see this? Deduction." Mu Qing said, taking a stack of money and placing it by her side.
