Chapter 315 I don't believe he would do such a thing
Lin Yuan was stunned. When he saw the butler's expression, he felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.
He quickly took the letter from the butler.
Opening the letter, he read it carefully, his hands seemed to be shaking.
There wasn't much in the letter.
There are only two words: If you want to save your daughter, come to the Garden Villa in the suburbs as soon as possible. You are the only one here. If there is one more person, they will be ready to collect your daughter's body.
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.
He ordered in a low voice: "Prepare the horses, I want to leave the city."
"Okay." The butler knew that it might be related to the eldest lady, so he did not dare to delay and went there quickly.
Lin Yuan paced in the room for a while and felt a little relieved.
He was not afraid of his daughter being held hostage, he was only afraid of not having any news at all.
As long as he knows his daughter's situation, he will find a way to solve it even if the other party is willing to make conditions.
After a cup of tea, Lord Lin, the Minister of War, left on horseback.
The housekeeper quickly called him.
"Master, aren't you going with anyone?" He asked worriedly.
"No need, I will go by myself."
Lin Yuan didn't say much and set off quickly.
His daughter's safety is the most important thing to him now.
The housekeeper had no choice but to hope that the master and the eldest lady could return safely.
Lin Yuan knew that he would arrive at Yuanlin Villa, the place the other party had agreed to meet, in fifteen minutes.
The surroundings are empty and dark, with only this villa.
He got off the horse and flew inside. The yard was brightly lit.
Leng Xiao was already waiting for him.
He was wearing a silver brocade robe and still had a mask on his face.
"Young man, it was you who sent me the letter and found out my daughter's whereabouts?"
Leng Xiao blew a whistle, and the killer Song who stayed in the villa brought Lin Shuya out, her hands tied behind her back.
The mouth was gagged with cloth.
Seeing her father, Lin Shuya was a little excited, but she was poisoned and weak all over. She couldn't even struggle.
"Yaya! Are you okay?" Lin Yuan also shouted anxiously.
She shook her head. Now she was more worried about her father. She wondered how Leng Xiao would deal with him.
"Young man, what grudge do I have against you? You can just come at me, but please let my daughter go!" Lin Yuan said in an anxious and low voice.
Leng Xiao snorted coldly.
"Master Lin, do you still remember what the biggest sin you have ever committed?"
"You'd better answer truthfully, so as to avoid your precious daughter from suffering physical pain!"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. The biggest guilty conscience?
He thought about it seriously, and then said very frankly: "I have lived an upright life, and I think I have never done anything against my conscience!"
"Humph, so sanctimonious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at Song, and the next moment Song slapped Lin Shuya on the body.
Lin Shuya groaned, with a somewhat painful expression on her face.
"Stop! Just come at me! What's the point of making things difficult for a little girl?" Lin Yuan's tone was filled with anger.
"Then what about you betraying your friend and killing his entire family just to get a promotion?"
Lin Yuan was stunned.
But this state did not last long. After a while, he said: "I have never betrayed my friends. If you have any grudges, you might as well tell me directly!"
"Humph, Lord Lin is really a forgetful person!"
"Sure enough, when you come to the imperial capital and become an important official in the court, you can forget your old friends."
"Enjoy your current wealth and glory with peace of mind!" Leng Xiao's voice was so cold that it almost froze people to death.
Lin Shuya behind was almost dying of anxiety.
Leng Xiao, why don’t you just say it directly!
What are you doing beating around the bush here?
Daddy didn't know at all from his expression. She had always believed that Daddy would not do such a thing.
"Your Excellency might as well speak frankly, otherwise I don't know what false accusation I have been accused of."
"Does Lord Lin remember Leng Qingyun?" Leng Xiao asked directly. He was too lazy to beat around the bush.
When Lin Yuan heard the name, he was shocked and seemed a little bit unbelievable.
Leng Xiao saw his expression and snorted again.
"Did you remember it?"
"Lord Lin has enjoyed so much wealth and glory that I'm afraid he has already forgotten his old friends?"
"Oh, that's not right. He is not even a friend of your Lord Lin. He is just a stepping stone for you to get promoted!"
After a while, Lin Yuan finally came back to his senses from his shock.
"Who are you to Leng Qingyun?" he asked in a low voice.
"You don't need to know who I am to him. You just need to know that I'm here to avenge their family!" Leng Xiao's voice was cold.
Lin Yuan looked a little lonely.
"Leng Qingyun is indeed my friend. I entered the government with him. Although we are not in the same place, we have a very good relationship!"
"His family's experience is indeed related to me. This matter has always been a pain in my heart! I have been feeling guilty all these years."
"But it is definitely not what you call betraying a friend!"
"I have never betrayed him." Lin Yuan's tone was firm.
"Huh, didn't betray? It was obviously you!"
"I have already investigated it very clearly. In order to replace him, he was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy!"
"He trusted you so much, but you could do such a cruel thing!"
"You're really willing to do anything to get to the top!"
Lin Yuan sighed, and after a while, he said, "I don't know how to explain it to you."
"If I did it, I would admit it even if you didn't arrest my daughter."
"I have a clear conscience in my life. If it wasn't me who did it, even if you kill me, I will never admit it." Lin Yuan has the stubbornness of a military general.
"Humph, it seems that you would rather see your daughter suffer than admit the bad things you have done!"
Leng Xiao remained confident.
He winked at Song again, and Lin Shuya was slapped again.
The white cloth stuffed in her mouth was already oozing with bright red blood.
Lin Yuan felt so distressed.
"Are you trying to force me to confess by torture? Are you trying to use my daughter to force me to surrender?"
"I have a letter from Qingyun, as well as his keepsake. I don't know that he has collaborated with the enemy, and I don't believe he would do such a thing."
"When I arrived, he was already breathing his last breath. In the end, he didn't even tell me what happened."
"I only found out about those things later. For this reason, I have been brooding over it and have been secretly investigating, hoping to clear my old friend's name, but there has been no news over the years."
"I am ashamed of Qingyun." Lin Yuan said every word with determination.
"I am willing to guarantee with my life that if I say anything false today, I will die a miserable death!"
"Your Excellency can also come and take my life at any time! I will never fight back!"
Lin Shuya looked at her father with tears in her eyes. She felt sorry for her father. She felt that her father had aged a lot in the past half month. He must have been too worried about her.
Leng Xiao watched Lin Yuan's speech and saw the fearlessness in his eyes. He frowned slightly.
Lin Yuan choked up and asked, "Can I have a word with Yaya?"
