Chapter 246: Coercion

Officer Hu reminded me to ask where Linda's huge sum of money went.

Linda didn't doubt me, just frowned.

I knew it wouldn't be that way if she hadn't used the money.

So I asked her again, where did the money go?

"Sun, don't ask. I'll try to get this money together as soon as possible. She affirmed.

I can't think of how she could have spent such a large sum of money at once, but she obviously didn't want to answer me, and it was futile for me to ask again.

"By the way, how is Kerr?" she changed the subject before I could continue.

"Intensive care, still in a coma, the situation is not optimistic. Linda, you know very well that someone is taking advantage of Kerr's encounter to destroy the starlight, and at this critical time, don't be foolish. I reminded her.

She nodded, repeatedly assuring me that she would take care of it.

"I brought a gift for Hanhan, let's have a meal with him in the evening. I pointed to the model of the sports car in the seat next to me.

Linda looked at me apologetically, stopped for a moment, and nodded yes.

She picked up her phone and said to call the nanny, the early education class should have just ended.

Before she could dial the number, the bell rang.

I saw that the caller ID on the screen was "Aunt Zhao", which was the name of the nanny.

"What? Didn't I tell you not to come into contact with anyone you don't know?!" Linda suddenly raised her decibels, emotional.

She looked anxious, and her fingers slid quickly across the screen as she hung up.

I just watched, and couldn't 'plug in' for a while.

"Where did you take Hanhan?!" Linda almost snarled at the man on the other end of the phone, and the guests around looked at him with extremely strange eyes.

"What the hell do you want?" I couldn't hear the other person's voice, but I could tell from Linda's tone that the situation was not optimistic.

"Give Hanhan back to me!" Although Linda's tone was tough, her momentum was noticeably weaker.

Hanhan is her life, can it be Owen who can take Hanhan away from the nanny at this time? It can't be Jiang Mei, right?

While I speculated, Linda seemed to be choked by the throat, her right hand clutching her phone tightly, her left hand clenched into a fist on the table, her knuckles turning white from the force.

After a long time, she whispered, "Okay, I promise you." When are you going to give Hanhan back to me?"

Then there was a long silence.

"Let Hanhan answer the phone. After Linda finished speaking, she adjusted her mood, the corners of her lips curled, and she called out Hanhan's name with a smile.

From her expression, I judged that Han Han was talking to her.

At the end, she said, "Hanhan, my mother will pick you up in two days, eat and sleep obediently, okay?" After she finished speaking, she happened to look up and saw me, so she added: "Godmother also bought your favorite sports car model to give to you." ”

I watched as she put down her phone and put her hands out to cover her face.

At this time, I have to wait for her to calm down first.

"How can I help?" I asked softly.

Only then did she take her hand down and look at me with red eyes: "Jiaoyang, if, I said if, if I am not there, can you help me take care of Hanhan?"

"No, you can't. "I immediately vetoed it, and if I agreed, it would be conniving with her!

Subconsciously, I felt that Linda was going to risk herself, and Hanhan became a bargaining chip for the other party to blackmail her, and she couldn't do anything.

"Because Hanhan, all the promises you just gave me are gone, are you? You have something to hide from me, you don't want to say that I can understand, and I won't force you. But now, you're going to give up because Hanhan is going to do it, aren't you?Linda, when did you become like this?" I asked her.

She raised her hand again, her fingers 'sticking' between her hair, and hung her head, not daring to look at me.

"Call the police and make everything clear. If it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before it enters the police station. "I picked up my phone and pretended to be on the phone.

"No, Sun, No, please. At least not now. "Linda suddenly reached out and snatched my phone.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I was furious, and my voice grew louder.

"I'm sorry two, our boss said that he asked for your coffee, please don't affect the other guests......" The waiter stood at the table in a slight voice and gave the eviction order evicted.

I walked out of the café with Linda.

Coincidentally, a bright red coupe stopped in front of us.

The window rolled down, and the woman sitting in the passenger seat took off her sunglasses, her red lips raised, and she looked at us defiantly: "Yo, Linda, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard? Is this Mr. Cheng? You have been in the limelight lately!"

The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Mei, and I noticed that the man in the main driver was not Owen, but he was a little familiar.

Linda and I ignored her and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

The woman's voice lingered behind her: "Don't go, didn't you talk last time?"

I took two quick steps, grabbed Linda's arm, and jerked her around to face me.

Then I took out the tiny earphone from my cochlea, turned off the monitoring device, and spread it out in the palm of my hand to show her: "See?!The police are already suspicious of you, do you think you are unaware of everything you do? Do you think you can mediate with the fire, with the police? Do you have the guts, do you have the ability? Linda, you're not like this, you said you wouldn't let me down. What the hell are you doing now?"

Linda looked at the device in my hand in a daze, but she was not surprised or surprised.

"Sunshine, I was wrong. I was so confident that I thought everything would work according to the rules I had set, but something happened and everything went out of control. "Linda's emotions were on the verge of breaking down, and I knew the truth wasn't far off.

I took her into the car and asked her to talk slowly, and I would help her figure it out.

"Blazing Sun, it was Owen who took Hanhan away from the nanny. Han Han called his father when he saw him, and the nanny relaxed her vigilance, and as a result, he took Han Han away. Linda said.

"He's Hanhan's father, are you worried that he'll be bad for Hanhan?" I asked.

"No, I'm afraid he'll hide Hanhan. He said that if I was disobedient, he would take Hanhan abroad and never let me see him again. Linda said this, her eyes filled with panic.

"What did he tell you to do?" I continued.

"He told me to turn myself in, confess to the crime of selling the company's trade secrets, and asked me to 'expose' the financial problems of the Starlight Organization and make it public. And ......" Linda said this, beginning to hesitate.

"What else?" I asked.

"Also, spreading false news about you, fermenting the scandal about you and Starlight before. Linda bit her lip, her expression was extremely sad, and she immediately explained: "Don't worry, I will never agree to the following conditions! ”

"If you admit to the crime, you will face trial, you will go to jail, who will take care of Hanhan? Are you stupid? At that time, Owen will become Hanhan's guardian, and you, when you come out in the future, how can you explain to Hanhan?" I think Linda has lost her mind, and she can't even tell the most basic right from wrong. Maybe I didn't experience this feeling of being coerced by family affection, and I couldn't understand her situation.
