Chapter 28

Lin Yu stated that he was unaware and did not understand why the two investment banks would withdraw.

Feng Yuanyuan was convinced that Lin Yu was playing dumb; she accused Lin Yu of being jealous of Zhang Yuru's success and wanting to ruin everything. Lin Yu felt very confused and didn't understand these accusations.

Lin Yu finally understood what everyone meant; they seemed to think it was his fault that led to the departure of Huang Qingyu and Yan Yaochen. But Lin Yu felt there was no need to explain, and he said indifferently: "Think whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me!"

Just as he was about to head to the elevator, Feng Yuanyuan blocked his path. "You cannot leave, you must apologize to Zhang Zong now!" she insisted.

Lin Yu was anxious in his heart; he only wanted to send Zhao Yuan'er home as soon as possible and then find a way to contact Yan Feng, not wanting to stay here for too long.

So he pushed Feng Yuanyuan away gently, "Don't block the way, move aside."

Although she was pushed back a few steps, Feng Yuanyuan recalled the humiliation she suffered at the Ma family earlier and finally chose to remain silent.

"Lin Yu!" Just then, Zhang Yuru's voice came from behind, stopping Lin Yu, who was about to step into the elevator.

Zhang Yuru announced arrogantly: "I successfully obtained a one-billion investment from President Qin of the Qinling Group today. I want you to know that the growth of the Zhang Group will not stop because of anyone."

Facing Zhang Yuru's declaration, Lin Yu felt confused and didn't understand why these words had to be said to him. He responded impatiently: "You said a lot, I don't understand what you want to express."

Watching Lin Yu walk into the elevator, Zhang Yuru's mood became complex. The Lin Yu who used to be obedient to her was gone; after the divorce, Lin Yu should have had nothing, so why could he still be so fearless?

"Zhang Zong..." Feng Yuanyuan wanted to comfort her, but was rudely interrupted by Zhang Yuru: "Don't talk to me, get out!"

Returning to the supreme suite and settling Zhao Yuan'er, Lin Yu received a call from Qin Yan.

She said: "I have returned to Qincheng."

"Have a safe trip," Lin Yu said casually, while thinking about the photo on his phone.

"How can you talk like that? Is there nothing you want to ask me?" Qin Yan asked back.

Realizing his negligence, Lin Yu hurriedly congratulated her: "Congratulations on winning a one-billion investment for the Zhang Group."

"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you, remember to come to Qincheng to find me when you have time," Qin Yan said finally.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu felt that Qin Yan seemed to have more to say, but he was full of his sister's affairs now. He picked up his phone and flipped through the chat history with Yan Feng.

Recalling his freshman year of college, this Yan Feng, who called herself a private detective, took the initiative to contact him and accurately told him information about his sister.

To find his sister, Lin Yu agreed to teach Yan Feng the profound medical skills passed down by the Lin family as a condition of exchange.

However, Yan Feng proposed teaching via WeChat, claiming it was beneficial for both sides.

Although full of doubts, Lin Yu still agreed to Yan Feng's request.

In the following years, Lin Yu taught Yan Feng traditional medical skills via WeChat.

In return, Yan Feng would occasionally provide some clues about Lin Yu's missing sister, but these clues were either dead ends or misleading.

Even so, Lin Yu still kept his promise and continued to teach Yan Feng medical skills.

However, today everything changed.

Yan Feng suddenly sent a photo and then deleted Lin Yu from her friend list without warning.

This made Lin Yu feel a sense of unease; could it be that those who kidnapped his sister had discovered Yan Feng?

Just then, Zhao Yuan'er ran out of the bedroom drunk and hugged Lin Yu tightly, mumbling: "Brother Lin Yu, let's get married! I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Just as she was talking nonsense, she saw her brother Zhao Baizhang walk out of Grandpa's room and shouted happily: "Brother, I'm going to marry Brother Lin Yu, I'm so happy, hehehe..."

Facing his sister's absurd behavior, Zhao Baizhang looked helpless and pretended to be angry: "Then what are you waiting for, go get married!"

But Lin Yu pressed the back of Zhao Yuan'er's neck lightly, letting her sleep quietly.

After sending her back to the bedroom, Lin Yu said to Zhao Baizhang: "I'm going back to the shop. After the old man wakes up, normal diet is fine, and he will recover in a few days."

Zhao Baizhang nodded, patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said: "Okay, I'll have someone send you back. By the way, my Sanxin Group headquarters has moved to Huacheng, come find me directly if you have anything in the future."

Lin Yu was slightly surprised, but still nodded in response: "Okay."

"Let's go, I'll see you off." Zhao Baizhang personally sent Lin Yu downstairs and arranged for a driver to send him back to Zhongcaotang.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yu returned to Miao Street, and his phone prompted a new express pickup code.

Having just arrived at Miao Street, he didn't remember having any express delivery. With curiosity, he picked up the package at the express locker and returned to Zhongcaotang.

Closing the door, Lin Yu opened the package and saw an album inside, with the photo he had received earlier on the cover.

Opening the album, Lin Yu found a note that said: "Your sister has been found, I have fulfilled my promise, see you again!"

The signature was "Yan Feng."

If the girl in the photo was really his sister, where was she now? How was her life?

Yan Feng did not answer these questions, and the photos in the album had been blurred, making it impossible to identify the shooting location.

Just as Lin Yu was immersed in the photos in the album, neighbor Wang Sufen appeared at the door, asking about news of Lin Yu's parents looking for Xiao Xue.

"Lin Yu is back, your parents have been out looking for Xiao Xue for ten years, have they found her?"

Seeing Wang Sufen, Lin Yu felt a sourness in his heart, and guilt surged like a tide.

To search for his missing sister Lin Xue, the residents of Miao Street worked together to launch a search.

Unfortunately, two tragedies occurred during this period.

One was that Wang Sufen's husband, Liao Jun, encountered a car accident while out searching and lost his life.

Facing this blow, Lin Yu felt deep self-reproach; he believed that if he hadn't let his sister go missing, none of this would have happened.

So he knelt in front of Wang Sufen, expressing his guilt.

But Wang Sufen did not blame Lin Yu; she hurriedly helped him up and said gently: "Child, this is not your fault. That was an unpredictable accident, it was my husband's bad luck."

Although Wang Sufen tried hard to comfort him, Lin Yu's sense of guilt became heavier.

Wang Sufen continued to persuade, "We all understand you, no one blames you. You can come back, Auntie is already very happy. If you can reopen Zhongcaotang, that would make me even happier."

Hearing this, Lin Yu recalled the scene ten years ago when all the residents of Miao Street came out to help find his sister.

Just then, Wu Yuanming walked into the shop and asked about news of his sister. Seeing Lin Yu silent and hiding the album, Wu Yuanming waved his hand and said: "No need to worry, Xiao Xue will definitely be safe and sound."

Duan Jing, an old man nearly ninety years old, also came to the shop. He expressed encouragement to Lin Yu, believing that the reopened Zhongcaotang might let Lin Xue know.
