Chapter 827

When she saw Lin Chang'e's solemn expression, Shantian Liangzi jumped in fright.

Just moments ago full of vigor and pride, Lin Donghu had already lowered his head, looking at Lin Jingru.

The two exchanged a glance.

Lin Jingru gave Lin Donghu a helpless look.

Lin Shiyi and Lin Chang'e inspected the treasure piled up like a mountain.

Finally Lin Shiyi calculated, furrowed his brow, and said: "Lin Jingru, Lin Donghu, you can do it! The stuff is worth 50 billion dollars—your appetite is too huge!"

By the way, how did you move the stuff here?

Lin Shiyi was very curious.

Lin Jingru said with a guilty face: "When registering, we underreported a bit. Then we found Lin Donghu, Lin Baobao, Bei Shuying, Bei Qingqian, Lin Qingxia, Lin Qingyue, Lin Qiuxia—eight of us—and, taking advantage of the night when no one was around, we moved the unrecorded items here."

This cave was discovered by Lin Donghu when he was practicing boxing and smashed a huge rock; it is very concealed.

I thought about hiding these things, then later we would build our own exclusive camp here, keeping outsiders out.

We still have this bit of authority.

Then, each time we come to Yue Ya Dao to play, we'll transport some back; over time we'll have a chance to move them all away.

"What should we do next?"

Lin Shiyi asked again.

Lin Jingru said: "This is too simple! Isn't there Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang and their people? We threaten them, give them a little sweetener, and they'll surely agree."

"Um~"

Lin Shiyi froze.

I never expected Lin Jingru to have already figured out the money‑laundering method.

Lin Jingru's eyes shifted and she said: "Lin Shiyi, Lin Chang'e, the things I've hidden aren't just mine—you also have a share!"

"Yes yes!"

Lin Donghu immediately nodded: "We've already worked it out—we share any benefits equally; your two shares are included as well."

But Lin Jingru said you two are… too… uh… so for now we won't tell you.

Later, when you need money, we'll support you for free.

By the way, we haven't forgotten the eldest sister; although she has no share, we've agreed to give her some benefits as well.

Lin Shiyi scratched his head, looked at Lin Jingru and gave a wry smile: "Lin Jingru, you're trying to drag everyone into this with you!"

Lin Chang'e's eyes shifted and she said: "Lin Shiyi, I think this plan is feasible!"

It's obvious that Lin Chang'e is also tempted by the treasure before her.

She was angry before because she felt Lin Jingru's motives weren't quite right.

Everything on the island belongs to everyone; if Lin Jingru privately hoarded it, that would be digging into the Lin family's corner.

But now Lin Jingru has given each person a share, so the nature is different.

Although it's still digging a corner, it's the adults' corner we're digging.

With this money, we won't have to calculate New Year's gift money every year.

"Lin Shiyi, what do you think we should do about this?"

Seeing Lin Shiyi silent, Lin Chang'e furrowed her brow and looked at him.

At this moment Lin Jingru and Lin Donghu's eyes lit up.

There's hope!

Lin Chang'e actually "defected"!

Now the situation is that only Lin Shiyi is the "outsider".

If Lin Shiyi opposes, that means going against everyone!

For Lin Shiyi now, there are only two paths.

One is to report this; thereafter, nobody will play with Lin Shiyi.

The other path is… to go with the flow and become corrupt!

To be greedy, let's all be greedy together!

Lin Shiyi also became flustered.

He naturally understands the consequences of the two choices.

"Sigh~"

Lin Shiyi sighed helplessly and said: "Lin Jingru, Lin Donghu, and Lin Chang'e, do you think Dad won't know about this?"

Lin Jingru couldn't help but shiver.

She suddenly recalled Qi Yiniang looking at her and saying those words.

Qi Yiniang is such a smart person, as if she can see through hearts; she would surely see through what I've done.

That's why she would gently remind me, right?

"Lin Shiyi, then tell us what to do!"

Lin Chang'e furrowed her brow and said.

Lin Shiyi gave a bitter smile.

Why do difficult problems always find me?

"Can I just pretend I don't know?"

Lin Shiyi thought for a moment, then said with a helpless expression.

"No!"

Lin Chang'e furrowed her brow and said: "It's fine if you don't know about this, but since you do, you can't stay out of it. Lin Shiyi, use your clever brain to think of a solution for us!"

"Yes, yes!"

Lin Jingru hurriedly nodded and said: "Quickly think of a solution! I feel that if we don't handle this matter well, we'll be punished again, and the punishment will be even heavier than last time."

Lin Shiyi looked at Lin Jingru: "Lin Jingru, for such a matter, I think you have more ideas than I do, right? Let's just do what we're good at!"

"You think up the method yourself, I, I... forget it! As long as your idea is good, I'll join you!"

Lin Shiyi knew that he could not escape this matter no matter what.

Even if we get punished, it's better than creating a rift with the brothers and sisters.

Self-consoling, changing the way of thinking: anyway, Dad's money in the future will be left to the brothers and sisters,

Taking it now is just like pocketing it in advance, an advance consumption!

The reason Lin Shiyi did this was because he recalled his mother's admonition.

At any time, the brothers and sisters must stay united.

Even if we do bad things, as long as we all do them together, we might as well be a gang of bad eggs!

Lin Jingru is indeed good at thinking up such things.

Lin Shiyi urged her to think; after a moment she chuckled and said: "There's a way! Even if Dad finds out, he can't do anything about us!"

"What method?"

Lin Chang'e asked with a curious face.

Lin Jingru smirked and said: "Let's drag the concubines into this! What do you think of this idea?"

"Er..."

Lin Chang'e looked at Lin Jingru in astonishment.

Lin Donghu frowned and said: "If we do that, the money we've painstakingly hidden will be reduced by more than half! There are so many concubines—thirty or forty of them!"

Lin Donghu looked reluctant.

Lin Jingru laughed and said: "Lin Donghu, you're dense! I never said we'd split these things evenly with the concubines; I just wanted to come up with a way to give them a nominal share. No matter how much, they'll end up getting something."

By then, we'll all be in the same boat—can Dad alone still stir up trouble with the concubines over this?

To Dad, this stuff is just a bit of pocket change.

He wouldn't want to offend the concubines over such money!
