People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

After hearing Uncle Nan talk about Lin Andao's case from the beginning, Lin Yi never expected that the police would be able to solve it.

Firstly, Shanghai, including the concessions, was a complex place where various forces intersected and intertwined.

The police station is fine for maintaining order, but when it comes to cases involving big shots like Lin Andao, who knows who they might offend if they investigate further.

Therefore, procrastinating and keeping themselves out of the situation is their best option.

Secondly, technical investigation methods were limited in that era.

The murderer was not caught on the spot.

In situations where the victim is unable to provide any valuable clues.

It has a very high probability of becoming an unsolved mystery.

However, failing to solve a case and simply shelving the investigation from the beginning are two different things.

The only possibility is that someone intervened and prevented the investigation.

Theoretically, this person should have been the mastermind behind the murder.

But since even Lin Fang was able to find out about this, it's impossible that an old hand like Uncle Nan, with even more extensive connections, wouldn't be unaware of it.

If we just follow this lead, finding the mastermind behind it shouldn't be difficult at all!

It's impossible that more than a month has passed without any news from Uncle Nan.

This is unreasonable!

Seeing Lin Yi's thoughtful expression, Lin Fang knew that the information he had revealed had worked.

He must be suspecting Uncle Nan!

With a lifeline right in front of him, he certainly wouldn't let such a chance to survive slip by.

He subconsciously licked his lips and said, "Cousin, it was because I felt something was wrong with this matter, and I was worried that Dong Jingnan wanted to seize our Lin family's assets, that I started trying to find ways to protect our family property."

"But later, he was misled by a villain, and as a result, he was about to make a mistake and started to have wicked thoughts about you."

"Your punishment is what I deserve."

"But I really didn't do what Uncle did. You can't pin this on me and make your loved ones suffer while your enemies rejoice!"

Lin Yi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

My mind raced.

Lin Fang said that the police had shelved the investigation from the beginning, and Lin Yi believed him.

It's very easy to figure out whether this is true or false; with a little financial power, it can be done in less than half a day.

Lin Fang certainly understands this as well.

Especially since he had already admitted that it was he, not Uncle Nan, who had broken Lin Yi's neck on the ship.

He had every reason to lie about such a small detail as the information from the police station.

However, since it was Lin Fang who wanted to kill Lin Yi, it can also be confirmed that Uncle Nan had no designs on the Lin family's assets.

Naturally, there was no reason for him to take action against Lin Andao, whom he had followed for many years.

But Lin Yi believed that Uncle Nan must know that the police station had shelved the investigation.

But he chose to ignore it, so the most likely explanation is that he orchestrated this whole thing!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's eyes were full of doubt.

If the truth of this matter is as I have deduced, then what is Uncle Nan's purpose in doing this?

Was it to cover for the murderer?

But if that's the case, then we're back to the same old dead end: Uncle Nan's attempt to seize the Lin family's assets.

Completely contradictory.

One guess after another appeared, only to be quickly dismissed by myself.

Lin Yi's head was throbbing from the rapid processing of his brain.

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all!

He rubbed his temples and turned to one of his underlings in the basement, asking, "Where's Uncle Nan?"

"Uncle Nan received a phone call and said he had something urgent to deal with, so he left."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around.

Lin Yi had already reported this matter when he first arrived.

At this moment, he suddenly asked, "Did you believe Lin Yi, that traitorous bastard, in his slander against Uncle Nan?"

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down my spine.

Something big is going to happen!

"Didn't Uncle Nan say what the emergency was?"

"I didn't say it."

The younger brother shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "It should be a business matter."

"Young Master, you don't know, Uncle Nan has devoted himself to the company all these years, and the brothers can all testify to that."

Lin Yi could easily detect this little scheme.

Even Lin Fang, who was tied up, was perfectly aware of the situation.

He said irritably, "Hmph, maybe that's why he thinks my uncle should get a share of Andao Company's success today."

Lin Yi glanced at him, feeling a surge of annoyance.

Looking back on all the interactions he's had with Uncle Nan over this period, he now completely trusts him.

If Uncle Nan were truly after the Lin family's assets, he would have died long ago.

But why did he suppress Lin Andao's case?

“Cousin, what I’m saying is true. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the police station and ask.”

"Absolutely true."

Lin Fang continued speaking.

It was as if he could already see the dawn of his safe departure from Shanghai.

Lin Yi glanced down at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll definitely go later."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, saying to Ah Sheng, "Send him away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the basement.

Lin Fang was stunned for a moment, then burst into a silly grin of ecstatic joy.

Not only did he survive, but now he doesn't even have to break his leg!

Having narrowly escaped death, his mind began to wander again.

Or should he express his remorse and repentance again?

Now is the time for Lin Yi to need people, and Dong Jingnan is not trustworthy.

If I'm sincere, I might still be able to stay in Shanghai.

To be honest, after living in Shanghai for nearly three years, he didn't want to go back to that poor, remote place in Shandong Province.

I never want to go back.

After a few quick thoughts raced through his mind, Lin Fang gritted his teeth and decided to take another gamble.

At this moment, Ah Sheng was untying the ropes binding him.

Lin Fang turned to Ah Sheng with a fawning smile and said, "Brother Ah Sheng, can I ask you for a favor?"

Ah Sheng is Lin Yi's driver.

Although Lin Yi didn't choose him, he's been following Lin Fang around every day, so Lin Fang thinks their relationship must be very close.

If Ah Sheng, someone close to Lin Yi, were to say a few good words for him, it would definitely have an effect.

"Young Master Lin Fang."

Ah Sheng smiled broadly, his hands still busy, and said, "Just tell me what you need. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you."

"Brothers."

Lin Fang immediately smiled, making empty promises without hesitation: "Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you well after it's done."

"hehe."

Ah Sheng smiled as he removed the ropes from Lin Fang's body.

"Could you talk to my cousin later and tell him that I want to stay and atone for my sins? If he agrees, I will serve him like a slave for the rest of my life and never have any second thoughts."

Ah Sheng stared at Lin Fang in disbelief, his expression blank.

Is this bastard out of his mind?

How dare you even dream of such a good thing?

"Hehe, Brother Asheng, I know this is a bit difficult."

Lin Fang smiled obsequiously, able to guess what Ah Sheng was thinking at that moment, "But you are your cousin's confidant. If you just ask, your cousin might agree because of you."

Hearing Lin Fang's praise, Ah Sheng chuckled.

"Okay, I will definitely pass on the message."

"Brother Asheng, thank you so much..."

Before Lin Fang could finish speaking, overjoyed, Ah Sheng suddenly twisted the rope in his hand and looped it around his neck...
