Chapter 217: Handling

"Not dealing with it—let it cool!"

Zhu Xueheng looked at Ye Shu, who lay on the bed with a weathered face. "If you held a cigarette in your mouth right now, you could go outside and cosplay a character—the decadent type. Who could out-advantage you? You really look like a victim who had half his yang energy sucked out by a demon!"

"My wife said the same—my face looks like it aged ten years overnight."

Su Yu peeked in from the left. "Indeed, Uncle, you look like you've aged more than ten years!"

Critical hit ×1

Liang Yan leaned in from the right. "Shouldn't this person be called Uncle or Grandpa?"

Critical hit ×2

Tang Can climbed onto the table, looked down at the phone screen, and said, "From this angle, he looks even more like a grandpa!"

Critical hit ×3

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhu Xueheng laughed happily. Ye Shu snapped his phone shut with a "smack"—a bunch of unsympathetic jerks!

After eating, the three kids played for a while, all got sleepy, and took a nap together in the lounge.

Su Yu woke up first.

After washing up, she ran outside. Zhu Xueheng was asleep on the sofa, and her uncle was still busy with company business.

Su Yu carefully stepped onto the carpet and looked at the snowy scene outside the window.

【Such beautiful snow!】

Su Yu had never seen snow this pure white, like goose feathers. The snow in her memories didn't look like this either. In Su Yu's own memories, the snow came in tiny flakes that melted quickly, while the snow in this world's memories—whenever she thought of it, an overwhelming cold and loneliness would sweep through her entire body. She wasn't going to be a masochist for no reason, so she didn't dwell on it.

Now, she was filling her own memories.

After admiring it for a good while, Wulongcha came drifting back through the snow.

【Where did you go play?】

Wulongcha occasionally went out to play, and Su Yu didn't stop it. If she didn't have important business, she wouldn't look for it while it was playing—giving Wulongcha some space.

【I wasn't playing. I found a problem, but it's not your family's—it's the Lin family's.】

【Oh? The Lin family? Zhu Xueheng, you're slipping—didn't he plan to deal with the Lin family before?】

Last time, the Lin family secretly stirred up trouble, interfering with Zhu Xueheng and Liang Yan's relationship-building, so Zhu Xueheng decided to make a move on the Lin family.

How come the Lin family was still standing strong?

【They were dealt with—Liang Lijiang was the one who made the move!】

Liang Lijiang cared about Liang Yan the most; touching Liang Yan was tantamount to taking her life.

【The Lin family's overt assets are all gone. They're scraping by on the things hidden in the shadows.】

As long as those things weren't exposed to the public, no one would expose them. The interest groups involved would assess the situation and provide convenience.

【The Lu family not only helped cover for them, but also handed over the Lu family's underground enterprises to the Lin family, letting the Lin family's underground enterprises grow bigger and stronger. Right now, the Lin family's momentum is at its peak—they're an emerging force in the underground enterprise sector.】

Su Yu felt something was off just hearing it. Things with huge profits were all written in the criminal code. Whatever Wulongcha called an "underground enterprise" definitely wasn't a legitimate business. If those enterprises couldn't make big money, the Lu family would have to be crazy to bother. But why would the Lu family give away enterprises with huge profits to the Lin family?

【Either those enterprises aren't making much money anymore, or the Lu family wants to clean up its image while screwing over the Lin family in the process.】

Wulongcha squeezed into Su Yu's little blanket, pillowed itself on Su Yu, and looked out the window.

【Both. That Lu family member who married into the Lin family—Lu Shan—has already found an affair partner and will soon sever all ties with the Lin family. Lu Zhongda is truly ruthless!】

Wulongcha felt that within their circle, the model representative family that had exploited the women in and around the household to the absolute limit was probably the Lu Zhongda family.

【There's something wrong with the affair partner he found for Lu Shan?】

Wulongcha wobbled. 【Yes. The affair partner he found has a strange kink—he likes women who have been married. He's been exposed for domestic violence several times. In the end, those women had accidents and died—their families didn't make a fuss, and the outside world never knew. Lu Shan still doesn't know that Lu Zhongda has already struck a deal with him. When she was young and beautiful, she was sent to the Lin family by Lu Zhongda's father in exchange for core information obtained by the Lin family's old patriarch, to expand the Lu family's underground enterprises.

After she got older, she was sold out again by Lu Zhongda, letting the Lu family completely separate from the underground enterprises and clean up to go legit.】

【Lu Shan was sold out herself when she was young, and she still hasn't learned her lesson—she's falling back into the same pit in her old age? Speaking of which, how is that fake grandmother of mine doing? If she's doing well, we'll send her an itch card.】

【Not too well. Your uncle has people watching her—there won't be any problems.】

Wulongcha looked out the window for a while and sighed.

【Sigh!】

Su Yu poked it—and as expected, poked empty air, her finger landing on the blanket. 【Why are you sighing?】

【I found the Lin family and Lu family's vaults, but that money can't be taken!】

【What? Vaults! If you can't take it, you can't leave it to them either—report it! Report it!】

Wulongcha refused. 【No way. If they find out you reported it, the forces behind the Lin family and Lu family would absolutely destroy you!】

She should weigh how much her own little body was worth. If she had money, she could casually drop tens of millions on Draw card and scheme people into it.

But she was just a broke ghost—she needed to save her money for investing!

Without cards, she couldn't possibly arm-wrestle with those people who controlled special forces! Even the Su Family couldn't save her!

Su Yu lay back down. 【Watching them make money makes me uncomfortable! Besides, we need to return clarity to the world!】

Su Yu suddenly sat up and rummaged through her cards.

【I still have an invisibility card. I'll go invisible and report it?】

Wulongcha rejected this answer too. 【No good—it's just as easy to be discovered, and you'd be intercepted. If they relocate, there's no guarantee we'd still be able to find it!】

Su Xi looked at the document in hand. If Wulongcha was willing to reveal the location, handing those things over to that person would be quite fitting.

【Then tell me where it is. I'll see if I can go over there and pretend to run into it by chance. What if I can get there?】

Where there's a will, there's a way—maybe some unexpected situation could arise?

【The amusement park you went to last time. Where the corpses were buried before—some gold bricks are buried there.】

During its investigation, Wulongcha discovered that the brother-and-sister pair who had tried to harm Ye Shu were connected to the Lu family. They had already established contact and wanted to trade people for projects.

Wulongcha then searched through all of Lu Zhongda's documents, cracked the encrypted information, and found an address.

Wulongcha entered the locked building and happened to see a mouse gnawing on the wood of a wooden crate. The exposed spots let Wulongcha see clearly that inside were gold bricks, one by one.

【The amusement park Ye Shu took us to? It turned out to be the Lin family's?】

【Yes, after digging up the corpses, the Lin family quietly bought it.】

That place collapsed immediately because of those corpses. After the Lin family bought it, they deliberately released some rats inside, making the amusement park even more dilapidated, so few people dare to go there.

【That place, I don't know if telling Grandpa would be okay?】
