Chapter 586: Chapter 586
According to the spy Xiao Shumei had left at home, the latest intelligence indicated that someone had met with disaster.
The victim just happened to be someone who had offended her brother and sister-in-law and, likewise, had crossed her sisters and the Xiao Family.
Lin Jiale’s company, along with the company of the second sibling’s husband, was submerged in debt overnight. It was rumored that these men had all hidden away together, vanishing from the face of the earth.
Xiao Shulan, the second sibling, was so implicated that she did not dare to go home and was hiding in her own company.
"Second sister never listened to us, and look what happens now," Xiao Shuju spat out these words with an unmistakable schadenfreude, still furious that Xiao Shulan had once distrusted her and had even verbally abused her.
Xiao Shuzhu’s eyes rolled, offering no comment. The trouble that had found the second sister was far greater than this, they heard.
Hadn’t there been talk of someone in the hospital trying to harm their sick father, Xiao Jianming? Later, the police investigation, based on other testimonies, confirmed that Su Yide, who had schemed to commit the crime, had just met and spoken privately with Xiao Shulan.
Thus, whether Xiao Shulan had hired an assassin became a focal point of the police investigation. The detectives had knocked on her door several times to take her statement.
In the view of her sisters, they knew Xiao Shulan’s character far better than the police did. Plainly speaking, she was one who liked to use borrowed power. She bluffed on the surface, but in her bones, she didn’t have the guts to actually poison their father for the inheritance. Besides, even if she did, the inheritance would not have become hers alone. It was pointless for Xiao Shulan to do so.
Logic as such drew a clear picture of the true situation.
Someone knew that Xiao Shulan had contact with Su Yide and wanted to frame her. As for who was responsible, Xiao Shuzhu and Xiao Shuju unanimously believed that the Kang Family father and son, along with Lin Jiale, could not escape suspicion.
After all, they were the ones who knew Xiao Shulan’s whereabouts best.
Ever since they arrived in the county, they occasionally felt as though someone was tracking every move they made.
Xiao Shumei closed the window overlooking the street from the small hotel room and walked back to face her third and fourth siblings, saying, "Now, things are quite clear. Yebai is capable of this."
"He hides it so well, even in front of family," Xiao Shuju pouted. "He acts so foolishly—what, afraid his older sisters will bully him?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"It’s not that he’s afraid we’d bully him. When have we ever bullied him?" Xiao Shuzhu would never admit to having abused her younger brother, and said, "If you ask me, that’s just his nature. It’s you who can’t stand it."
Is he mad? Perhaps he’s truly insane, their younger brother, otherwise, how could he, like a madman, have devoured the capital of Lin Jiale and the Kang Family father and son? But, these cunning and wicked scoundrels, without the existence of a madman like Xiao Yebai, would be untouchable by the police—that goes without saying.
A slight smile curled the corner of Xiao Shumei’s mouth as she thought this.
"Yebai won’t see us for another three days," Xiao Shuju pouted again. "Do you think Lin Jiale and the others might find a lifesaver in these three days and escape unscathed, or maybe even fight back?"
Xiao Shuzhu frowned in agreement with her third sister, sharing the same concern.
At a time , one must strike while the iron is hot, relentlessly pursuing and pushing the villains all the way down to the eighteenth level of hell. Yet, ironically, their brother wouldn’t see them. They really wanted to help, in truth, they wanted to enjoy the ride with Xiao Yebai.
For this reason, Xiao Shuju was itching for action, wishing her own "porky hands" could reach Lin Jiale’s face, forcing him and his daughter to kneel and apologize before her.
