C273 The Gold Mine Incident

"As long as you're okay. Are you hurt? How did you get out?" Xiao You rubbed the dirt on Lin Xiao's head. His eyes were full of pain.

"There is a gold mine underground. There are workers working there. I ran out of their tunnel." Lin Xiao took the mineral water Bai Shuang gave him and drank a few gulps. The dry feeling in his mouth lessened.

"Gold mine?" Xiao You had never heard of any gold mine here. When he heard Lin Xiao's words, he frowned.

"I'll tell father about this when we get back." Lin Xiao needed to discuss with Xiao You about how they should deal with this hidden gold mine.

Xiao You looked at the factory behind the forest with a deep look in his eyes.

"How did you know I was here?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"Master, your buttons." Bai Shuang reminded.

Lin Xiao's clothes were specially custom-made. Whether it was the buttons, the fabric, or even the needle and thread on the top, they were all unique.

In order to find Lin Xiao faster, Xiao You also put in a lot of effort.

Peng Rui saw the only surveillance video and recognized that Hong Ying drove on the highway to Xin Ling. They immediately sent someone to follow him.

They searched all over Xin Ling and coincidentally, Bai Shuang saw the buttons Lin Xiao left on the road. This confirmed that Lin Xiao was nearby and then what happened next.

This was not the place to talk. Lin Xiao got into the car. He had not eaten since he ate a few steamed buns yesterday. He was so hungry that he could eat a cow.

When he heard Lin Xiao's stomach rumbling, When he heard Lin Xiao's stomach rumbling, Xiao You's expression turned cold. Did he not eat for the past two days?

Lin Xiao said that he had eaten a few mouthfuls of mantou. When Xiao You, who was already seething with anger, heard this, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth in anger.

When he returned home, Xiao You had already informed the chef to prepare a table full of dishes. He would definitely be full.

Lin Xiao did not care about his embarrassment. His chopsticks flashed and he stuffed his chopsticks into his mouth one mouthful at a time. His cheeks were so full that they were bulging.

For a moment, there was only the sound of Lin Xiao chewing. The others all lowered their heads and sat down. Xiao You watched with heartache. From time to time, he would give Lin Xiao a glass of water, afraid that he would choke.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Xiao wiped his mouth and burped. Only then did his body slowly warm up.

"Are you full?" Xiao You still wanted to get some water for Lin Xiao, but he was rejected by Lin Xiao.

"Father, I'm full." Lin Xiao rarely blushed. He did not need to look at the way he ate just now to know that he looked like a hungry ghost.

"It's good that you're full." Xiao You was more than a thousand people in the company. When he was young, he could get a lot of sponsorships by opening his mouth. Now that he was facing Lin Xiao, he couldn't even say a single word that was nutritious.

The table fell into silence. Xiao You glanced at Lin Xiao and took the initiative to find a topic to talk about. "What was the matter with the gold mine that you mentioned just now?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao immediately became energized. He told Lin Xiao what he had heard while hiding in the cave.

After listening, Xiao You's expression became serious. If this was true, it would be a big deal. How much profit did a gold mine have? He couldn't even count it. If he let a person swallow it...

"Wait, did the person who kidnapped you discover this gold mine, or did his organization do it?" Xiao You caught the main point.

Lin Xiao thought about it and did not know anything about it. He did not know much about it, but when he thought of someone, that person must know about it.

Peng Rui was called over. She sat in the main hall of the Xiao family. Her knees were pressed against each other. She put her hands on her knees and lowered her head without saying a word.

Lin Xiao sat beside her. He looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared. She had lied to him about her identity and name, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

He didn't know if it was because she was good at disguising herself or because he was careless.

"Madam, you told us that Lin Xiao was taken away by someone from Poisonous Leaf. How did you know?" Bai Shuang stared at Peng Rui's face with her sharp eyes. Although she was grateful that she had pointed a way for them, they were still in a hurry. But why did this person appear at the bottom of their hotel, and why did he recognize them and know where Lin Xiao went? Everything was still a mystery.

Peng Rui pursed her lips and didn't say anything.1

"Should I call you Tann Quan or Peng Rui?" Lin Xiao looked at her and said slowly.

Peng Rui suddenly looked up. Her eyes were full of complicated emotions. "My name is Peng Rui."

"That's why Tann Quan lied to me." Lin Xiao nodded.

Bai Shuang only remembered why Tann Quan looked so familiar when she heard the name Tann Quan. She had heard that a woman named Tann Quan had stayed by Lin Xiao's side for a period of time when she had asked someone to follow him. She seemed to be the woman Lin Xiao saved on the way.

Bai Shuang did not care at that time. After all, Lin Xiao's identity was well hidden at that time. No one would be a threat to Lin Xiao.

She did not expect this woman to be someone from Poisonous Leaf.

"I don't need you to explain anything else. I just want to ask if the gold mine that Hong Ying is looking at was discovered by Poison Leaf or Hong Ying himself." Lin Xiao could roughly guess why Peng Rui lied to him about Hong Ying's phone call. What he cared about the most was the gold mine underground.

Peng Rui heard Lin Xiao's words and looked up in confusion. "What gold mine?"

There was no need to ask. Just by looking at Peng Rui's expression, she knew that the people of this organization did not know.

"You don't know?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Peng Rui.

"I don't know." Peng Rui's eyes didn't look fake.

"Alright, you don't have to worry about this." Lin Xiao knew that Peng Rui was not involved, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

Peng Rui was a pitiful person.

Peng Rui wasn't a fool. After listening to Lin Xiao's words, she understood something. Hong Ying had done many evil things behind their backs.

"Did Hong Ying do something? Lin Xiao, can you tell me that I can deal with him? Hong Ying is cunning and ruthless. You don't know him." Peng Rui anxiously sat forward and said seriously.

Sister Tan, oh, no. Sister Peng, you don't need to be involved. It will be more troublesome if you have an identity in this organization. " Lin Xiao did not forget the information that Hong Ying had told him in the car. His initial surprise at Peng Rui's identity had turned into acceptance.

Peng Rui was stunned for a moment. She thought she had misheard him. How did Lin Xiao know her identity in the organization? Did that bastard Hong Ying say that?

Thinking of this, Peng Rui felt as if she had lost all her strength. If Hong Ying said this, would he tell Lin Xiao that she had shot a bullet at Xiao You? At that time, would Lin Xiao still be able to talk to her in such a gentle manner?

Peng Rui didn't dare to think about it.

"Sister Peng? Are you alright?" Lin Xiao asked.

Peng Rui gave a laugh that was uglier than crying. "I'm fine. I just felt dizzy. I'm fine now."
