Chapter 531: Due Punishment
Of course, by then Lin Xuan knew what had really happened. He whispered kindly, "But you have to, they have already made a report, you cannot hide from this forever."
"Third brother, you... you’re not going to save me?" Lin Yun asked anxiously.
Technically speaking, he had to save her. He should know that she could not be captured or the whole criminal connection to the Lin family would be exposed because of her.
"Of course, I will save you but not now. Don’t worry, I will return to get you after I discuss with grandfather," Lin Xuan said confidently. Lin Yun was slowly convinced by him.
"But..."
She hesitated.
"Come on now, don’t be afraid, we have your back," Lin Xuan said gently but powerfully. Lin Yun was nodding at his words. At the end of the day, she knew she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. Xinghe had already passed the evidence to the police, so even if she escaped to City A, the police there would continue to hound her. The Lin family couldn’t protect her so openly. Her only hope was if her grandfather could really figure out a way to save her.
"Alright, you can take her away now. We of the Lin family are honest folks that will not stand in the way of the law," Lin Xuan told Mubai with an honest smile.
Mubai and Xinghe looked curiously at each other. This Lin Xuan was being too honest. However, since they didn’t know him personally, this didn’t raise any alarm.
Xinghe opened the car door and ordered, "Get in, Lin Yun!"
Lin Yun glared maliciously at her. She had been so close to leaving City T. If not for Xi Mubai and this b*tch, she would have been on the private plane already.
This is all their fault! They’d better not give me a chance to fight back because they will pay with their lives if they do!
However, no matter how strong her hatred, Lin Yun eventually had to crawl into the car.
Just as Xinghe and Mubai prepared to leave, Lin Xuan suddenly walked over and handed Lin Yun her handbag. "You forgot about this."
"Third Brother, I will wait for you to save me, please don’t take too long," Lin Yun pleaded.
Like the kind big brother that he was, Lin Xuan nodded. "Don’t worry, just hang in there for now."
Lin Yun finally smiled, her anxiety slowly dispersing. She thought the Lin family would save her soon because her crime wasn’t that big. She needed to suffer for a little while before aid came. This optimism brightened Lin Yun’s mood.
Since the police weren’t there, Xinghe and Mubai drove her directly to the police station.
Staring at the car that was driving away, Lin Xuan asked the driver beside him, "Don’t you think Xiao Yun has failed too gloriously this time? She was dumb enough to hand such damning evidence to others."
"Third Young Master, Miss Yun is still young so it’s unavoidable that she’ll make mistakes," the driver answered respectfully.
Lin Xuan shook his head with regret. "There is no room for mistakes in Lin family. A small mistake can cause big repercussions. Therefore, all failure has to be taken care of with expedience."
The driver shivered involuntarily and responded with fearful silence.
Lin Xuan watched Mubai’s car for a while longer before ordering, "Let’s go; it’s time to go home."
"Yes, sir."
...
As they drove to the precinct, Mubai’s group suddenly heard the sound of clock ticking in their cramped space.
This caught the three of them by complete surprise.
