The paper-made items are so realistic that orders from all over the world skyrocketed and made peopl

After getting off the plane, a nanny car came to pick up Fu Chenyan.

Lin Yin couldn't refuse, so she got into the car.

Fu Chenyan said that his destination was Lin Yin's destination, so the group drove to the town that Lin Yin mentioned.

Then, when they arrived at the gate of the community, Lin Yin said that they would not follow her any further and asked them to wait outside the community.

Fu Chenyan did not insist and just told him to call him immediately if anything happened.

Lin Yin came to the floor where the old man lived according to the address Qi Jiayan sent on the tablet. She knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

At this time, an old lady from the neighboring house across the street opened the door and looked Lin Yin up and down. "Are you here to see this family?"

Lin Yin nodded. "Yeah, I knocked for a long time but no one opened the door. Are they not home?"

The old lady sighed, "The neighborhood committee came just yesterday, but they knocked on the door and no one opened it. I couldn't get through to their cell phone either."

Lin Yin's heart skipped a beat. Damn it.

The old lady continued, "I saw them going out the day before yesterday and even said hello to them. I suspect that the old couple is upset because of what happened... Oh, it's really tragic. If it were me, I would definitely hang myself."

Lin Yin and the old lady learned some basic information. It turned out that a week ago, someone had come to bang on their door. The old couple didn't open the door, but they had a heated argument with them. The old lady said that they were sent by the family of the perpetrator who had killed their daughter and her family of three. They wanted to pay them to settle the matter, but they refused.

The old lady said that she would not agree to it. Those were three living lives. How could she possibly settle the deal by paying money?

The other party showed no remorse. The perpetrator's father, who spoke out in the media, said his son's ignorance and poor driving skills led to the tragedy and hoped for forgiveness from the other party and the public. The perpetrator remained silent throughout the entire process.

The old couple was very angry and said they would never forgive and would fight to the end through legal channels.

Who would have thought that the old couple would never come back after they left.

This incident happened so coincidentally that it is hard not to suspect that it was done by the perpetrator's family.

After the old lady closed the door, Lin Yin released Wu Wenyue and said in a low voice, "Sister Yueyue, go check inside the house."

Wu Wenyue immediately dodged into the wall.

A few minutes later, Wu Wenyue came back with a piece of paper in her hand. "This note was placed on the table. There's a scent of someone coming into the room. They must have been here last night."

Lin Yin took it and looked at it. It read: [I am Qi Jingshu, the mother of the victim, Xiao Xiaoyue. My ID number is xxxxxxx. Since this incident was an accident, there is no conflict between me and the perpetrator. I have reached a settlement with the family of Zhao Yuan, the perpetrator who killed my daughter and her family of three.]

[Qi Jingshu, June 2024, 6.]

Lin Yin frowned. This was a settlement agreement, but it was definitely not written voluntarily by the old couple. However, they signed it and put their fingerprints on it.

If the old couple forgives him, Zhao Yuan will still go to jail, but he will be given a lighter punishment.

Lin Yin had carefully reviewed the news at home last night. Zhao Yuan's father claimed that Zhao Yuan had mistakenly used the brake pedal instead of the accelerator, leading to the disaster. However, the elderly couple suspected that Zhao Yuan had deliberately stepped on the accelerator to kill Xiao Xiaoyue and her family, who were walking on the road at that moment.

This matter can be serious or minor. To put it in a serious way, if Zhao Yuan committed intentional homicide, he could be sentenced to life imprisonment.

To put it mildly, if Zhao Yuan caused the traffic accident unintentionally and the two families reached a settlement, he might only be sentenced to three years at most.

Lin Yin read the online comments, and netizens all thought Zhao Yuan had done it on purpose. The surveillance footage at the scene showed that the car was some distance away from Xiao Xiaoyue and the other two, yet it was heading straight towards them without even turning. If he had realized that he had mistaken the brake for the accelerator, why would he have swerved without even turning?

Zhao Yuan's father would rather sacrifice himself to get his son out of jail as soon as possible, even though they knew that such kidnapping would definitely be caught by the police. After all, there are cameras everywhere in the city now.

But he still had to do it.

If his son is sentenced to life imprisonment or even death penalty in the future, he will take the old couple to hell with him.

Lin Yin immediately called the police and explained what she was doing to the 749th Bureau. This was a requirement from the 749th Bureau; she had to report any matters related to the human world. This was also for her own convenience; otherwise, if the police misunderstood her, the 749th Bureau would have to contact her to explain. After all, the police were unaware of the 749th Bureau's existence; orders were usually relayed to them by higher-ups.

The police received a report and when they arrived, Lin Yin had already left, taking the note with her.

She guessed that the people who kidnapped the old couple were planning to fight them to the death, so they couldn't let their plan succeed.

It will take some time for the police to investigate the surveillance footage, but time is running out.

Lin Yin took the note, hurriedly found a hotel to book a room, and then went back in time.

Three days ago——

The elderly couple were on their way back from an errand when they passed through a sparsely populated back street and were knocked unconscious and dragged into a van.

Then the van drove out of the city and came to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

Then, the man who knocked the old couple unconscious appeared. He was a man in his 50s.

It was Zhao Yuan's father! Lin Yin had seen this face on the news.

Zhao Yuan's father carried the old couple to an abandoned factory and tied them up with ropes.

Then he brought a chair and waited for them to wake up.

After the old couple slowly woke up, they were stunned at first. They saw the man in front of them, and then saw that they were tied to the pillar behind them. They immediately understood what was going on and cursed: "You beast! You kidnapped us!"

Zhao Yuan's father smiled and said, "Yes, I am a beast, but you are beasts too. You actually won't let my son go. He's only 20 years old! He made a mistake, but he didn't do it on purpose. How can you bear to let him spend his whole life in jail?"

"Bah, not intentional? Do you know your son? He clearly committed murder on purpose! Netizens across the country are discerning, and you're the only one still making excuses for your son." The old couple's eyes were bloodshot as they spat fiercely, "Just wait and see your son spend the rest of his life in jail."

"Of course I know my son. Although he's been spoiled by us, he would never dare to kill anyone," Zhao Yuan's father said firmly. He then took out a printed piece of paper and said, "This is the settlement agreement. As long as you sign and put your fingerprints on it, I will let you go."

"Reconciliation? You're dreaming! Didn't we already say we would never reconcile?"

Zhao Yuan's father had obviously anticipated their reaction. He carefully set the settlement agreement aside, then took out a baseball bat he had prepared long ago and grinned, "Then let's see, who's harder, your words or this bat?"

Then he picked up a baseball bat and hit them hard.
