Chapter 261: What a Coincidence!

It was eight o'clock, and the entrance to the Police Station was brightly lit, as bright as day; the road in front of the gate was wide and straight, with street lamps arranged in an orderly fashion on both sides.

The dim, yellow light spilled onto the ground, weaving into patches of mottled light and shadow, giving one a feeling that was both hazy and dreamlike.

A sudden roar, like a thunderclap, resounded through this quiet and peaceful night.

The three of them subconsciously cast their gazes over.

They saw a middle-aged man running toward them, his hair standing on end with rage.

The man was of medium build and slightly plump, his jet-black, beautiful hair meticulously groomed, and his square face bore the marks of life's tempering.

Following behind the man was a middle-aged woman, full-figured and heavily made up, looking at Lin Yang with a face full of worry.

Shen Yan was slightly stunned.

Isn't this the clerk who handled the property transfer for him?

Combining this with the situation at the scene, it was not hard to conclude that this man and woman were Lin Yang's parents.

He had indeed heard Lin Yang mention before that his father worked in the housing management department.

Damn! This is like a blind man looking for a blind man—what a coincidence.

Seeing that imposing figure, the usually unruly Lin Yang subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling his scalp tingle; he was like a mouse seeing a cat, scurrying about while begging for mercy: "Dad, I know I was wrong, give me some face in front of my classmates."

"Face?"

"You know you want face now, what were you doing earlier?"

Seeing this brat still daring to tuck his tail and run, Lin Gengxin was even more furious; having finally finished work and returned home, he hadn't even taken a sip of hot water before receiving a call from the Police Station.

Son of a bitch!

Fighting in high school was one thing, but he hadn't settled down after entering university, and this time it was even worse, directly giving someone a concussion.

If he didn't teach him a lesson he would remember for the rest of his life now.

He would be flying off the handle!

In order to beat his son, Lin Gengxin had floored the accelerator, managing a two-hour drive in just an hour and a half.

Who knew that just as he arrived at the scene, he would hear his son refusing to repent and spouting nonsense.

Saying he'd beat him every time he saw him.

Your old man will let you experience what a fist of love is first.

Lin Gengxin stretched his legs and sprinted, dust dancing in the wind wherever he passed.

As if cheering him on.

A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him; Lin Yang naturally couldn't just sit and wait for death, relying on his youth to dodge flexibly, his movements as agile as an ape. Lin Gengxin tried his best, but couldn't touch a corner of his clothes, so angry he gnashed his teeth.

Then Lin Yang hid behind Shen Yan, continuing to beg for mercy: "Dad..."

"I am not your dad!"

Lin Gengxin shouted angrily.

Yet the next moment, he froze in place.

The fist he had raised could not fall.

"Aren't you that..."

Shen Yan greeted him: "Hello, Uncle. So you are Lin Yang's father. What a coincidence; I am Lin Yang's classmate, my name is Shen Yan."

"Hello, hello."

Lin Gengxin instantly put on a warm, spring-breeze-like smile; the speed of his face-changing was staggering.

???

The bizarre turn of events left Lin Yang completely confused.

He looked back and forth between the two, asking: "Old Shen, you know my dad?"

Shen Yan replied that they had met once in Shanghai, and Lin Gengxin smiled and said: "At the time, I was wondering if you might be at the same school as my son; I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you're even in the same class."

To avoid delaying Lin Yang's father from disciplining his son, after the greetings, Shen Yan decisively proposed to leave.

As for the matter of buying the house...

It's no big deal, let it be exposed if it's exposed.

Facing the gazes of Lin Yang's parents, Zheng Jiayue felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if she were naked and being scrutinized without restraint.

She felt uncomfortable everywhere.

She hurriedly waved goodbye.

That panicked, fleeing appearance made Lin Yang's parents even more suspicious; Lin Gengxin stared intensely and questioned: "Give me an honest answer, what is your relationship with that woman just now?"

"We've only met twice, what kind of relationship do you think it is?" Lin Yang curled his lips.

That devil-may-care attitude made Lin Gengxin's anger flare up again; seeing things were going south, Lin Yang hurriedly ran to his mother's side to seek protection.

As the saying goes, the thread in the hands of a loving mother makes the clothes of the wandering son.

How could a mother not feel sorry for her child? Lin Yang's mother immediately changed the subject: "Lao Lin, how do you know that Shen Yan? It sounds like there's a story there?"

Lin Gengxin's attention was immediately diverted, and he said truthfully: "Just the day before yesterday, when I was working at the office, he came to the counter to handle a property transfer. He brought six houses at once, which left a very deep impression on me."

"What? Dad, are you saying Shen Yan has six houses in Shanghai under his name?"

Hearing this explosive news, Lin Yang's eyes widened larger than eggs, his face full of disbelief.

He seriously suspected he had just had an auditory hallucination.

"Could that be fake? Do you think I'm bored enough to joke with you?" Lin Gengxin glared at him.

Lin Yang's mother was immediately astonished and asked which area those houses were in; Lin Gengxin said they were over at Yanggao Road.

"Isn't that a village-in-the-city? A remote corner full of dilapidated houses." Lin Yang curled his lips in disdain.

Just that?

He had thought it was an apartment or a large flat.

As for high-end residences like villas or detached houses, they were not in his consideration at all.

Lin Yang's mother also revealed a trace of contempt, then turned her head to ask Lin Yang: "What does your classmate's family do? At such a young age, he has six properties under his name. Although the houses aren't much, they could still be worth a few million."

"Uh... I'm not too sure about that either. I heard his family's situation is very average." Lin Yang paused, scratching his head in confusion.

Lin Gengxin gave the back of his head a hard smack and said irritably: "You don't know a damn thing. Do you understand that seeing is believing and hearsay is false? Is it not allowed for people to be low-key and tell lies to fool outsiders?"

Lin Yang said that was impossible; Yu Youwei and Shen Yan were childhood sweethearts, she knew Shen Yan's family background clearly, and Wu Yueer had also been to the Shen Family.

This point absolutely could not be faked!

Hearing this, Lin Gengxin was immediately rendered speechless.

"Lao Lin, you say he bought so many houses in the urban village; could it be that he's hoping for demolition to get rich overnight?" Lin Yang's mother guessed as much.

Her tone was full of certainty.

Aside from this, she could not think of any other possibility.

"That's likely the case." Lin Gengxin nodded in agreement.

"But I'm afraid these houses will be stuck in his hands. The geographical location of that area is too poor; developers avoid it like the plague, let alone take it over. If there were really any profit to be made, everyone would have swarmed in long ago; how could it ever be his turn? This is clearly a trap; whoever jumps in is doomed!"

Lin Yang's mother deeply agreed.

Smart people are everywhere; if there were even a glimmer of hope, what demolition household would be foolish enough to sell their house?

Wouldn't it be better to get rich oneself?

Young people, they always think of whimsical ideas, but reality is often ruthless and cruel.

Hearing his parents say this, Lin Yang planned to persuade Shen Yan later to sell them off as much as possible, and if they were hard to sell, to sell them at a discount; it was still better than having them stuck in his hands.

With so much money in a fixed deposit or buying financial products, the monthly interest alone could be around ten thousand.

Even if he just lay flat at home for the rest of his life, it would be enough to live without worry.

At this very moment, he wanted to know even more where Shen Yan got so much money.

Taking advantage of Lin Yang's distraction, Lin Gengxin grabbed his ear and questioned him sternly: "I finally caught you. You brat, give me an honest account: why did you fight this time, and even gave someone a concussion? Do you want to go to heaven or something?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Dad, take it easy."

"Give me an honest account."

"Lao Lin, go easy on him."

"This really isn't my fault; it was that bastard..."

"Ow! Dad, you're really hitting me? Don't hit the face; we're in public, give me some face... Ah, ah, ah! Mom, help!"

"You're going to kill me! Dad, I really know I was wrong."
