"Lin Siming, you little brat, stop spouting nonsense!" Lin Zhihua roared. "When did I ever snatch your family's house? I paid for it with my own money, and I have the deeds, all notarized by the township office! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
Lin Zhihua's words caused a stir among the Lin family members present. Lin Siming sneered, "Heh, deeds? Paid for with money? If you people hadn't been harassing my sister and me every day, our house would have been demolished. How could my sister have sold it for five thousand yuan just so I could go to school? You couldn't buy it for fifty thousand! Lin Zhihua, you are truly shameless to the extreme!"
Lin Zhihua's mouth twitched, and veins bulged on his forehead. Lin Yan couldn't help but scold, "Enough, Lin Siming! Don't push your luck! Your sister made that decision herself back then; we never forced you! If you're here to talk about this matter, then stop the nonsense. If you're here for money, then show us proof. When did we ever ask your sister for money?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhihua seemed to sober up a bit and reached out to Lin Siming, "That's right, show us the proof!"
Lin Siming's face immediately turned red. "You shameless people, you still want proof? You've already admitted it just now!"
"Nonsense, that was Lin Siqi being cheap, throwing herself at us..." Lin Yan's cold laugh was cut short as she suddenly sensed something. She quickly covered her mouth and retreated, staring at Ling Feng with fear and shock. Clearly, Lin Yan was afraid Ling Feng would cut off her tongue.
Lin Xue on the ground was still in a semi-conscious state. If it weren't for the Lin Zhihua family's weak family ties, no one would have called an ambulance for Lin Xue by now. They were still arguing about money, completely disregarding Lin Xue's life!
"Yang Fei, give them the proof!" Ling Feng said calmly.
Everyone present was stunned. Even Lin Siming looked at Yang Fei with disbelief. Proof? Were they referring to the transfer records? Those couldn't be considered evidence, could they?
Yang Fei indeed displayed the transfer records for everyone to see. "These are transfer records, and with these real-name accounts, you can't deny them, can you?" Yang Fei said.
The group of Lin family members leaned in. Lin Zhihua and the others' eyes widened. Lin Yan stomped her foot in anger and cursed, "Lin Siqi, that slut! I didn't expect her to be so scheming, keeping these transfer records... this..."
"Nonsense, this doesn't prove anything. This is what Lin Siqi wanted to give us, and we took what was offered. Even if Lin Siqi herself were here, she couldn't explain it clearly. This counts as proof?! Ridiculous!" Lin Zhihua, surprisingly still had some wits about him, sneered and directly retorted Yang Fei.
However, the Lin family members had now thoroughly confirmed what had happened. They had witnessed how shameless Lin Zhihua's family was! Truly shameless and despicable to the extreme! Facing solid evidence, they still refused to admit it! But they also knew that what Lin Zhihua said was indeed true; even if Lin Siqi were present, the matter couldn't be explained clearly. This only proved that Lin Siqi had transferred money to them, but it couldn't prove that they had demanded it, let alone that they had cheated them out of it. Even proving it was a loan would be impossible, as there were no IOUs or anything similar. They could even claim that this was money Lin Siqi owed them. Everyone believed that Lin Zhihua's family was absolutely capable of such shameless and despicable acts!
Under these circumstances, the crowd looked at Yang Fei again, clearly expecting to see if Yang Fei had any other evidence.
"Heh, Lin Siming, everyone knows you're a notorious spendthrift. Your sister was almost driven to death by you! Everyone knows this! I think you've brought people here to demand money from us this time, haven't you? Did you not get the money from your sister? Heh, you even kowtowed and wailed before, putting on an act, truly laughable!" Lin Yan suddenly said.
In an instant, everyone turned to look at Lin Siming. Clearly, they had heard about Lin Siming's reputation in previous years. It was rumored that Lin Siqi was almost dragged down to death by Lin Siming! Many felt it wasn't worth it for Lin Siqi. Therefore, even if Lin Siqi had truly fallen out with Lin Siming and severed their sibling relationship, they had every reason to believe it! So, had Lin Siming really failed to get money from Lin Siqi, and that's why he brought people here to demand money from Lin Zhihua?
Just as the Lin family members were running out of patience, Yang Fei took out the tablet computer from his satchel and displayed a series of phone calls and video calls. First was the unrecognizable Lin Xi!
"Cousin, I'm truly at my wit's end. My company can't keep going. If you don't save me, I'll really jump off a building. Just lend me a million yuan, only a million..." As Lin Xi's voice emerged, everyone around looked at Lin Xi. Clearly, they were looking at Lin Xi as if he were a clown! Lin Xi's face immediately turned extremely red. He had wiped the blood off his face earlier, but his nose was crooked. Now, it looked as if he had been angered into a crooked nose, making him look ridiculously comical!
Yang Fei directly interrupted the audio playback and asked Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, right? What else do you have to deny?"
Lin Zhihua, in shame and anger, slapped Lin Xi on the back of his head, "Idiot! How could you let them record you?!"
"Dad, I didn't expect Lin Siqi to be so scheming... No, this audio is fake. This person's voice just sounds like me. How can you prove it's me? I don't lack money, why would I borrow money from Lin Siqi?" Lin Xi covered the back of his head, first explaining aggrievedly to his father, then suddenly came to his senses and turned to deny Yang Fei.
Yang Fei sneered and brought up another video. "Sister, my dear sister, for the last eight hundred thousand, I'm just eighty thousand away from a successful venture. I'll return two million to you, okay? Look, if you lend me 1.8 million, I'll return two million, and you'll still profit!" On the screen appeared Lin Xi, none other! The guy was holding his phone, filming his so-called startup company haphazardly, begging for money, and even acting a bit sickeningly spoiled!
Seeing this scene, Lin Xi was completely dumbfounded! Lin Siming's eyes widened in anger. "Dear sister? Heh, you call her so intimately? Lin Xi, you're not going to admit it? Two million. If you don't pay it back, you'll go to jail until you die!" Lin Xi immediately became furious. "What two million? This is at most only 1.8 million!"
