CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 168: THE BAI FAMILY IS REALLY ANNOYING!

Not giving him time to think more, Ji Ning continued, "I reported to the police, someone attempted to murder him at the airport."

A superpower user reporting to the police???

The director’s heart trembled again, he looked at Ji Ning for a long time, ensuring she wasn’t joking, his face turned extremely serious.

Apart from Ji Ning being a superpower user, such a vicious injury event happening under his jurisdiction definitely required a thorough investigation.

How did this person bring a knife to the airport and precisely attack that child?

Unless it was a targeted attack, with even the mastermind confident enough that the killer could escape successfully from the airport.

People capable of that are more than just ordinary.

The Lin Family was assassinated.

Beijing Airport seems to have been built by the Lin Family.

Is there any connection between these two?

The director’s mind was racing, just being reminded of the word "airport," he had associated so much.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji Ning, "This child’s identity is..."

"The Lin Family heir, Lin Yuanyang."

The director’s pupils slightly dilated.

No wonder...

If he were a negligible figure in the Lin Family, no one would bother trying to kill him.

This seems dragged into a family feud.

The director’s thoughts were swirling, he glanced at Ji Ning for a moment, then said, "If it’s confirmed that you’re making a report at our bureau, then I must inform his guardian."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "You may."

She was curious to see what Lin Yuanyang’s "stepfather," who had married a new wife, looked like.

The news of Lin Yuanyang’s assassination attempt at the airport quickly reached the ears of the Lin Family.

His father, Lin Chengsheng, was in a meeting; it was his secretary who received the call.

The secretary glanced at the tightly shut office of the chairman, his brow furrowed.

Lin Yuanyang has always kept a low profile within the Lin Family and almost never appeared at the group. Lin Chengsheng also rarely mentioned his eldest son Lin Yuanyang to outsiders.

As a result, people’s impression of Lin Yuanyang has always been that of a sickly Lin Family member who wouldn’t live past 20, a pitiful soul who, even as an heir, couldn’t inherit the family business.

Thus, the secretary didn’t pay much attention to the matter.

Anyway, he didn’t die, so it’s not too late to discuss it after the chairman finishes the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Lin Family’s old mansion also received the news that Lin Yuanyang was gravely injured in an assassination attempt, causing Old Madam Lin to clutch her chest and suffer a heart attack.

The pregnant Mrs. Lin clutched her abdomen, worry etched on her face, and sent someone to fetch a doctor.

The entire Lin Family was thrown into chaos.

Until Old Madam Lin caught her breath and struggled to say, "Quick... quick... to... the hospital..."

Before finishing, Old Madam Lin fainted again.

In a corner, an old woman felt thoroughly uneasy, never expected that little bastard to still be alive, even the assassin was caught.

They had known this news for quite some time.

Never imagined someone so formidable was beside that little bastard.

Who is that person?

Is it someone sent by the Bai Family to protect Bai Xiaotang?

The Bai Family is really annoying!!!

Leaving Old Madam Lin’s bedroom, Mrs. Lin clutched her protruding abdomen, her face suddenly darkened.

Following her was also the old woman.

Only when they were far away did the old woman hear Mrs. Lin’s voice from up front.

"Was the Family Head informed?"

The old woman bowed her head slightly and replied, "Informed. The police informed the Family Head’s secretary directly."

"Did the Family Head go?"

"The Family Head is in a meeting."

Finally, a hint of a smile cracked Mrs. Lin’s face, "I see, then we’ll wait for the Family Head to handle it. I’m just an inconveniently mobile woman, not suitable for rushing about."

"Madam is right." A smile appeared on the old woman’s face as well, stepping forward to support Mrs. Lin.

***

The meeting Lin Chengsheng was in this time lasted a long time, from the afternoon until over eight in the evening.

The secretary, seeing his weary look, did not bring up the incident with Lin Yuanyang again.

The police had also notified the old mansion, and surely the Old Madam would send someone to handle it.

It wasn’t until the next afternoon that Lin Chengsheng learned that Lin Yuanyang was gravely injured in an assassination attempt.

Ji Ning, who had been sitting in the police station waiting all along, watched a hurried middle-aged man enter the room, her face showing no emotion, which made Lao Du silently light a candle for the Lin Family.

"Officer, where is my son?" Lin Chengsheng glanced around the room, then turned to ask.

After receiving an exclusive call from the Security Bureau, he hastened to the police station, seeing no sign of his son but instead a strange young person.

This young person was exceedingly handsome, his demeanor unlike that of ordinary people.

He wasn’t afraid that he would have an accident but didn’t understand why the police had brought him there.

He scrutinized Ji Ning, who was also scrutinizing him.

Lin Chengsheng looked impressive, his build unlike those of most middle-aged men, seemingly paying great attention to physical management. His suit accentuated the steadiness of a mature man.

His demeanor was somewhat stern, brows furrowing, eyes sharp, far from evoking a confused mind.

Lin Yuanyang bore some resemblance to him, but his features were softer, likely taking after his mother more.

Ji Ning placed her crossed leg down, stood up, sneering, "A gravely injured person won’t be lying in the police station but at the hospital, right?"

Lin Chengsheng froze slightly, his eyes narrowed, "You know my son? How is he now?"

Ji Ning lifted her arm, glanced at the Smart Brain on her wrist with mocking eyes, "It’s been 22 hours since the assassination attempt on Lin Yuanyang, and Family Master Lin, are you not aware of your son’s situation? This Lin Family is quite something..."

The secretary behind Lin Chengsheng felt somewhat guilty, glaring, and angrily said, "Our Family Head is busy with affairs of state; he hasn’t had time to..."

"What could be more important than your own son being attacked?" Ji Ning interrupted bluntly, staring into Lin Chengsheng’s eyes, "Exactly, with a new bloodline imminent, a sickly Lin Yuanyang is naturally not as important as a soon-to-be-born healthy child..."

The increasingly abrasive words became unbearable for Lin Chengsheng, "I admit I have neglected Xiao Yang’s situation somewhat, but as his father, how could I possibly not care for him? It’s just that before I..."

"Are you trying to say that you came now merely because you didn’t know about this earlier?"

Ji Ning sneered.

"If you truly valued Lin Yuanyang, your people wouldn’t treat him with such disdain. Ask the person behind you how many times he received calls from the police station?"

Lin Chengsheng turned to look at the secretary, noticing the guilty expression, his face darkening at the lowered head.

Turning back, his tone softened slightly, "My apologies, it was my oversight. May I ask where my son is now? How is he physically? Have you found any mastermind?"

But Ji Ning laughed sarcastically, and looked straight ahead as she walked past him.

"Why need others to tell you if you want to know?"

Lao Du watched Ji Ning leave, finally able to release the tension in his heart.

He had truly feared that this superpower user might get into a fight with the Lin Family here, thankful that she had no intention of attacking.

"Officer Du, what’s her relationship with my son?"

Lao Du felt a bit speechless, inwardly scoffing: The Lin Family Master truly doesn’t have his priorities straight, worrying about someone else’s relationship with his son at such a time?

Yet, his face revealed none of this, "She is friends with Mr. Lin. If it weren’t for her, Mr. Lin might not have survived."

Lin Chengsheng seemed surprised.

Lao Du kindly reminded him, "This young lady is no ordinary person; it’s best not to anger her."
