Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

  What does a 60% sin value mean? If you draw a good and evil radar into a circle, and then divide it into ten equal parts, each equal part is 10%, the first 10% are good people, and 20% to 30% are minor evils. Then after 30%, as the value increases, the evil crimes become more and more serious.

  For example, Duan Taoyong, Deng Ling, and Yang Haoan, their guilt value is 80% because they have more than one life on their hands.

  What about the 60%? What is the definition of his sin? What crime did Lin Jianxin commit that made his sin value so high?

  Furthermore, Lin Shuyue had mentioned the word "kidnapped" many times at home and outside, but only when she said it in front of Lin Jianxin did she managed to bring up this keyword. Then, according to the characteristics of the previous system tasks, Lin Shuyue could draw a conclusion.

  Lin Jianxin is related to Lin Shuyang's kidnapping, and judging from his guilt value, the relationship is very big.

  If you use your worst imagination to assume the worst about a person, it is possible that Lin Shuyang had been sold out by Lin Jianxin!

  Lin Shuyue's eyes became increasingly deep as she looked at Lin Jianxin.

  Lin Jianxin sat opposite Lin Shuyue, the gentleness he had pretended to have on his face had completely disappeared. He looked at Lin Shuyue with an unfriendly look.

  Although Lin Jianxin is a very chauvinistic man, he also knows how to endure.

  Take his youth for example. He couldn't stand the hardship of farm work. In addition, his parents favored his eldest brother and often told him that he would live separately from his parents when he got married. So he started looking for a wife for himself when he was sixteen.

  Including Lou Fengqin, he had his eyes on four people in total. He kept observing them until he was 20 years old, then he chose Lou Fengqin from the four.

  Because Lou Fengqin is not only capable, she also manages everything at home and outside, she also has a straightforward personality, and her appearance is the most outstanding among the four girls.

  Lin Jianxin always thought that he was a capable person, but it was the times that limited his development. He felt that if he were in ancient times, he would be worthy of the emperor's daughter.

  It was Lou Fengqin's blessing that he took a fancy to her.

  After determining the target, the next step is to approach it. Lin Jianxin is good-looking and knows how to dress up. In that era of the big collective, he was undoubtedly a very beautiful landscape in the countryside. (TL's Note: The 'big collective' here is referring to the time of rural collectivization in China, like the 1960s–70s)

  With his carefulness and diligence, it didn't take long for him to win over Lou Fengqin. When marrying Lou Fengqin, he deliberately played the victim and gave the least dowry in the whole village.

  After marriage, he even tricked Lou Fengqin into using her dowry to build a house. After marriage, the responsibility of earning work points to support the family almost fell on Lou Fengqin.

  Later, the collective was gone, the land was distributed to each household, and reform and opening up began. Lin Jianxin felt that his chance had come, and he began to work outside with the people in the village.

  He first worked on a construction site and then worked in a factory.

  He is handsome and there has always been a constant stream of women around him during the years he has been away.

  Lou Fengqin was doing farm work and taking care of the children at home, and she knew nothing. At first, he didn't think about divorce, but later he hooked up with Zhang Mei, whose family owned a restaurant and she was the only child in the family. After meeting him by chance, she pursued him passionately, regardless of the fact that he had a wife and children.

  Lin Jianxin knew that if he was with Zhang Mei, he would have to work 30 years less. Zhang Mei was easy to coax, but her parents were not fools.

  So Lin Jianxin made Zhang Mei pregnant before marriage. At the same time, he quickly became cold towards Lou Fengqin and frequently picked on her. His purpose was to force Lou Fengqin to file for divorce first.

  He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Lou Fengqin would make such a big fuss. He had never expected that Lou Fengqin would take over the family property and children.

  This once again frustrated Lin Jianxin's machismo.

  In the following years, he lived a smooth life. Now, he has taken all the property of the Zhang family. Zhang Mei, who used to be arrogant in front of him, has to live according to his mood.

  Only in front of his ex-wife, and her daughters did he still feel frustrated.

  But his bad expression only lasted for a moment, and Lin Jianxin quickly put on a smile again: "Today's food is delicious, Ah Yue, when the food comes, let's talk while we eat, okay?"

  Lin Shuyue turned off the good and evil radar and nodded slightly at him.

  The fast food came up very quickly. Lin Shuyue was struggling with a medium-rare steak with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. Lin Jianxin, who was sitting opposite her, took a sip of the red wine in the goblet.

  "Ah Yue, time flies, you are in your twenties now, right? If I remember correctly, you are 23?" Lin Jianxin looked very confident. In fact, he didn't remember the birth dates of his two daughters at all. The reason why he said Lin Shuyue was 23 years old was because he calculated it.

  Starting from the age of 7 in the first grade, it takes 16 years until graduation from university. Lin Shuyue is now in the internship period of her senior year. Isn't 16+7 exactly 23?

  Lin Shuyue put the cut steak into her mouth with the fork, and nodded at him without refutation: "Yes, you are right."

  Lin Shuyue would not correct Lin Jianxin about the fact that the original owner started school at the age of six, skipped two grades, and is only 20 years old now.

  Lin Jianxin is not her previous father Lin, and the original owner doesn't care about Lin Jianxin's fatherly love.

  Lin Jianxin had a confident smile on his face: "Ah Yue, you are 23 years old, which is not young anymore. Your mother married me when she was 19, and your sister was already born when she was 23. Look at you, you don't even have a boyfriend now, right?"

  Lin Jianxin thought with a man's mindset. He felt that if Lin Shuyue had a boyfriend, then her boyfriend would never let Lin Shuyue write those reports!

  What kind of reports does Lin Shuyue write? Either she blames the parents or she speaks up for those women who behave themselves.

  To be honest, Lin Shuyue was indeed famous, but when Lin Jianxin went out to socialize, he didn't dare to say that Lin Shuyue was his daughter, for fear that people would say that he didn't know how to educate children and had raised such a rebellious daughter.

  As soon as these familiar words came out, Lin Shuyue knew what Lin Jianxin was planning.

  She ate the steak piece by piece. Although she didn't like Western food and thought it was too light, not wasting food was a good virtue her grandparents taught her since she was a child.

  "No, what do you want to say?"

  Lin Jianxin felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin Shuyue's lazy look. He really felt that his daughter was rebellious! Although the eldest daughter Lin Shuxing was not willing to pay attention to him, she still had the proper manners. Unlike Lin Shuyue, she had no manners at all!

  From the moment he met her, she has shown no respect for him at all!

  But thinking of his own plan, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "It's like this, Ah Yue, Dad has also met many successful people over the years. Do you know our Guangsheng Group in Pengcheng? He wants to find a daughter-in-law for his son and wants to choose someone from this cultural circle."

  "You are pretty and educated, and you are a top student at our provincial university. You just meet their standards. So Dad wants to match you up..."

  Guangsheng Group? Lin Shuyue felt that this name was very familiar. After thinking about it, she remembered that this was the gossip that Li Mingfang had talked to her about when she had just crossed over. It was the big news about Li Weisheng, the one about the CEO of Guangsheng Group going on a trip with his wife.

  Lin Shuyue clicked her tongue. She was only 20 years old in both her previous life and this life, and she had no interest in men.

  Why should she invest our limited energy into love or marriage when she have such a good time? What's so good about men? Isn't it better to pursue a career? Isn't the money from salary increase and promotion more attractive than men?

  Lin Shuyue has believed in a saying since she was a child: if there is no man in your heart, you will become a god when you draw your sword.

  So a blind date is impossible for her. Let alone the son of the president of Guangsheng Group, even if the man who wants to date her is the emperor, she is not interested.

  Knowing Lin Jianxin's purpose today, Lin Shuyue didn't want to pretend to be nice to him anymore. Moreover, Lin Shuyue felt that if she wanted to know Ah Yang's whereabouts from Lin Jianxin, it might be harder than climbing to the sky.

  "Such a good marriage, you should keep it for your little daughter. I'm not interested. I'm going home. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do in the future, and don't look for me even more if you have something to do. It's useless to look for me." Lin Shuyue opened her bag and pulled out two RMB notes from it, but after thinking about it, she put one back and put the money directly on the table.

  "You ordered so much food, but I didn't touch anything except this steak. I just checked, one steak is 100 yuan, and it's here."

  "Bye-Bye."

  Lin Shuyue put on her bag and left.

  She didn't care at all how ugly Lin Jianxin's face looked behind her.

  Before leaving the house, Lin Shuyue looked into the restaurant out of habit and saw Zhong Jiali, the daughter of Shengda Foreign Trade, who had two faces towards men and women, from the company next door. She was also there. She was having dinner with a foreign man in his forties with a beautiful smile on her face.

  Lin Shuyue didn't look at it any further and went out directly.

  Opposite the Western restaurant is a malatang stall, with many people sitting around the stove, eating enthusiastically.

  A piece of steak was really not very heavy, so Lin Shuyue walked towards the Malatang stall.

  The skewers of Malatang are all cooked in the pot, so you can just take whatever you want to eat, but vegetables, noodles and the like are in the refrigerator, so you have to choose them yourself.

  Lin Shuyue handed the selected vegetable seedlings to the proprietress, found a place to sit down, and took the cooked skewers from the pot to eat.

  When eating spicy hot pot, she especially liked the soft and sticky chicken feet. Halfway through the meal, someone sat next to her. Lin Shuyue turned her head to look: "Captain Hang?"

  Hang Jiabai, who was wearing plain clothes, smiled and nodded to Lin Shuyue: "Reporter Lin."

  "On a mission?"

  "Yes, I've been out since morning, and I haven't eaten a single bite yet. I happened to pass by here and saw you eating so happily. I couldn't help it, so I came too. Do you mind?" Hang Jiabai said this with a smile in his eyes.

  Lin Shuyue turned her head to look at him, and saw the lights from the spicy hot pot stall reflected in his handsome eyes, like there were stars in his eyes.

  She grabbed the mineral water and took a sip: "I don't, I don't, these chicken feet are delicious, I strongly recommend you to try it."

  After that, the two of them started to eat like crazy. If they found something particularly delicious, they would recommend it to each other. Finally, Hang Jiabai was called away by a phone call, and Lin Shuyue also went home with a full stomach.

  Lou Fengqin had been waiting for her at home. After learning that she had eaten, she asked about her outing with Lin Jianxin.

  Knowing that Lin Jianxin was going to introduce her to someone, Lou Fengqin sneered, "I knew that was his idea."

  "How shameless! When your sister and you were born, he was very angry and kept telling me what use a girl was. He even want to listened to your grandparents to gave you two sisters away."

  "If I hadn't told to your grandmother and your uncle hadn't beaten him up, he might have done it behind my back at some point!" Speaking of this incident, even after so many years, Lou Fengqin is still angry.

  Lou Fengqin has thought about this countless times, perhaps it was because of this that when she knew that Lin Jianxin's purpose of finding fault was to divorce her, she was so calm and went to the city to check what he had been doing during that time.

  "He ignored you two sisters before, but now that he have thought of where he'll use you, he wants to arrange things for both of you. What a shameless guy! Don't pay attention to him. If he comes to you next time, don't meet him alone."

  The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lou Fengqin's words moved Lin Shuyue's heart.

  "Mom, how did he treat Ah Yang back then?"

  "He favors boys over girls and is especially good to Ah Yang. Even when he and I were getting a divorce, he would never forget to buy things for Ah Yang when he came back from outside. When I asked him to arrange Ah Yang's handwriting with you, he got very angry." Lou Fengqin is an open-minded mother. Whenever her children ask her about something they want to know, she will tell them in detail as long as she knows it.

  From Lou Fengqin's words, Lin Shuyue also knew that Lin Jianxin's opposition was useless to Lou Fengqin. Lin Shuyang still followed them in the order.

  Lin Shuyue continued to ask: "Then how was Ah Yang kidnapped?"

  Lou Fengqin sighed: "It was the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and his family came back to celebrate the festival. Since your brother was his only son, he brought your brother over to celebrate the festival."

  "The three people from your uncle's family kept pestering him to go to town to see what was going on, so he took your brother with him. Your brother was young at the time, so he went with him to a strange place, saying he wanted to find his mother and sister. Then he ran away while Lin Jianxin was buying the powder. By the time he bought the powder, your brother was gone. They called the police and searched the town for a whole day but couldn't find him."

  "He has had a hard time over the years. Every time I went out to look for Ah Yang, he would send me money. Ah Yang is also his son, so I feel at ease accepting this money."
