392: Chapter 392 The Power of Aunts and Relatives

"Lin Heng, no matter who you used to be, you are still our child, and Xiaoxiao too... Our village will never forget you."

On her face, wrinkled like an orange peel, a maternal kindness emerged.

The meaning was very clear.

If this money was obtained through illegal activities, it still needed to be handed over immediately... and he needed to admit his past mistakes.

Even a prodigal son can return!

If he were truly a person with some conscience, upon seeing this old woman's face again, he would probably want to immediately drop to his knees and kowtow three times, then quickly turn himself in to the police station.

However...

However, Lin Heng couldn't help but feel a wry smile.

He gave a bitter smile, then collected the checks and handed them to Lin Xiaoxiao, offering a slight smile.

"This money was truly earned bit by bit through part-time jobs."

"If you don't believe me, you can go online and check. I think I should be quite famous now. Maybe you'll find out about my affairs sooner or later."

"This over ten million is really no big deal."

As soon as he said this, everyone frowned even deeper.

The crowd sighed one after another.

"Sigh... It seems Lin Heng still hasn't understood the meaning behind this... Never mind, we all watched Lin Heng grow up. We can't just let him fall into depravity like this. He's a University Student from a prestigious school; his future is still long..."

"Let's keep an eye on him for this period. It won't be too late to report him after the New Year."

The crowd quickly exchanged glances.

They had already figured out how they would send Lin Heng to the police station.

Even if Lin Heng's money was completely clean, they still needed to investigate thoroughly; otherwise, they truly wouldn't be at ease...

What kind of part-time job could earn this much money?

Smuggling munitions?

Or trafficking drugs?

Even if it wasn't those two things, it was probably not far off.

And the scale of the operation seemed quite large!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to casually hand out one million to everyone.

Lin Heng's assets must be at least a hundred million, and probably more than just one hundred million!

The mere thought of this immense fortune made everyone's hearts complex.

They never expected someone with such a bright future to choose such a path. They could only feel a sense of regret, resolving that they must pull Lin Heng back onto the right track, or at least not let him walk down this path alone in silence.

As for the part-time jobs Lin Heng mentioned, and the fact that he was famous online, they paid no heed.

After all, in their village, not a single person knew how to use a smartphone. You tell them you're famous online?

Had he fallen into the web of a giant spider?

And even if someone happened to see it, they would just assume it was another person with the same name as Lin Heng.

They would rather believe in ghosts than believe Lin Heng's sweet talk.

After some earnest lecturing, they quickly returned to their original relationship.

It was these people who genuinely treated Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao like their own children.

It seemed that since things had been brought into the open, they started chatting like neighbors about Lin Heng's life outside the village.

"Alright, it's the New Year, why talk about these things... Lin Heng, have you found a girlfriend at the university yet? When are you bringing her back to let the Aunties see?"

Soon, Chen Guihua broke the topic first. She waved her hand, signaling the people around her to quiet down, then smiled slightly at Lin Heng, probing for information.

One matter was one matter.

After all, it was the New Year, and they didn't want to create anything sad.

Hearing this, the others didn't press further, though they were quite interested in Lin Heng's affairs.

"Exactly! How could our Lin Heng, such a handsome young man, not have a girlfriend? Do you have a photo? Let us see!"

"You're not young anymore. When you were your age, your dad already had your sister!"

"That's right. If you're dating seriously, you can bring her back to meet us... Take Liu Er Auntie's son next door; he just got married last year, and rumor has it they are already trying for a baby this year... He just went to the hospital recently, and she's already pregnant!"

"What are you saying? Why bring up what's happening in Liu Er Auntie's family? Why don't you mention Wu Ergou's family? That old man Wu Gang already has a grandson!"

The others showed curious expressions at this point, speaking to Lin Heng one after another.

They didn't know what significance having children held for women, but suddenly they started chattering.

Each person spoke about their own experiences while questioning Lin Heng, trying to glean information.

However...

Lin Heng, who had maintained a confident smile at first, quickly changed his expression.

It was as if he had sensed immense terror!

Good heavens...

Who could have imagined that a man who wouldn't even frown when facing a hail of bullets outside would feel such a massive attack here?

Lin Heng's mouth twitched. He truly regretted babbling about whatever nonsense he had before with these people.

This situation had been happening since he started university, yet Lin Heng wished he could slap himself. How could he not learn his lesson!

"Ahahaha... Well, actually, I don't have any plans to find a girlfriend yet..."

Under the rapid-fire questioning of the women, Lin Heng awkwardly scratched the back of his head, a look of embarrassment on his face.

His voice lacked the full-throated strength it usually had.

It sounded somewhat weak.

But as soon as he said this, it immediately piqued their interest!

The village Aunties immediately pursed their lips and began to continuously criticize him.

"Ah!? What did you say??"

"How can you, a grown man, not have the idea of continuing the family line? Your family only has you two surviving male heirs. Lin Heng, as the only male of the family, you don't think about carrying on the lineage—what are you thinking about?"

"Wait, Lin Heng, are you perhaps gay?"

"Although homosexuality is accepted now, you are still a grown man. How can you be like a woman... Your Lin family is counting on you to carry on the family line! Your father watching you like this from the grave won't be at ease either..."

Soon, the crowd spoke over each other with fierce output. Even Lin Xiaoxiao, who considered herself cunning, couldn't help but turn pale.

What kind of devils were these?

Faced with the pressure from everyone, Lin Heng was momentarily speechless.

This fierce king, who held great prestige internationally, had to bow his head before his numerous Aunties.

He truly didn't know how to explain himself to make them show him a little mercy.

And then, quickly!

"My brother has a girlfriend!"
