After quickly scanning the replies from netizens, Lin Cheng seemed to realize that he had done something quite useless, so he put away his phone.

After taking a last look at Lin Momo, Lin Cheng stood up and left the room.

When he arrived at his study, Lin Cheng made a few calls and started to deal with matters.

On the other side of the city, the Lin family.

When he learned that Lin Cheng was taking Lin Momo to his home without letting Wang Zhou inform him or let him go over to see her, Old Master Lin was furious.

Seeing the unhappy look on the old man’s face, Wang Zhou quickly comforted him and said, “The eldest young master won’t let you come because he is probably worried that your health is not good and the emotional ups and downs will affect your health.” 

Hearing this, Old Master Lin snorted coldly, “He’s worried about me? I think he’s just worried that I will take our little Momo away.”

At this point, Old Master Lin’s temper suddenly cooled.

Although Lin Cheng barely even passed the standard of a competent father in the reality show, this time, the old man was still very satisfied with Lin Cheng’s performance in rescuing Lin Momo in time.

Seeing the change in the old man’s expression, Wang Zhou secretly smiled and said, “I heard that the Eldest Young Master called Wang Ming before.” 

Wang Ming and Wang Zhou’s jobs in the Lin family were similar—the main difference was: Wang Zhou was mainly responsible for certain dark matters and internal affairs of the Lin family, while Wang Ming was mainly responsible for handling and coordinating the Lin family’s business and their relationship with those outside.

Since a long time ago, Old Master Lin already had the intention to let Lin Cheng take over the Lin family. Unfortunately, some previous events caused a gap to exist between Lin Cheng and Old Master Lin, and Lin Cheng, to be perfectly honest, was very repulsed by the Lin family. Therefore, Lin Cheng has rejected Old Master Lin’s request more than once.

In the following years, Old Master Lin used excuses—such as his poor health and precariousness—to force Lin Cheng to come in and work on the family business. Under Old Master Lin’s machinations, Lin Cheng was gradually taking over parts of the Lin family’s business.

And now, Lin Cheng himself took the initiative to contact Wang Ming. This meant that he has already accepted the Old Master’s intentions for him to take over the Lin family.

Hearing Wang Zhou’s words, Old Master Lin snorted again and said, “He refused to take over before, but now he remembers the usefulness of the Lin family?” 

“Isn’t this a case of the Eldest Young Master, as a father, being strong for his daughter?” Wang Zhou said.

“A father being strong for his daughter… Hmph! Tell me, what did he do before this?” Old Master Lin muttered, pretending to be dissatisfied, but in fact, the smile at the corner of his mouth could no longer be hidden.

Wang Zhou, who was standing by, had already seen through the old man’s thoughts but did not expose it. He only smiled secretly to himself.

“How are you dealing with those beasts?” Old Master Lin asked again.

These ‘beasts’ naturally referred to the operator of the ‘Moonlight Poetry Club’ and its specific group of guests.

“The operators of the ‘Moonlight Poetry Club’, the staff who participated in the special services, the guests, and Zhang Xiaoqiang are all in the custody of the police. In addition, other guests who had previously participated in such special services according to the club’s consumption records have also been arrested one after another.”

“The trial still needs to go through the process.” This process would necessarily take a certain amount of time.

“However, the news I got from there is that considering the huge impact and egregious circumstances of the incident, the trials of those people will be strict.” Many of those people will face the death penalty, and even should others be exempted from the death penalty, their ending would still definitely be imprisonment.

“In addition, the police will publicize a report about this case as soon as possible,” Wang Zhou said.

In other words, there was no need to wait for the results of the trial to come out—the evil deeds of those beasts would be made public immediately.

“That’s right!” Old Master Lin said in anger.

Now thinking that Lin Momo had almost been ruined by those scumbags, Old Master Lin suddenly felt heartbroken.

“I don’t know if our little Momo was frightened. How is she doing now…” After saying that, the old man grumbled, full of dissatisfaction, “And now that stinky brat won’t let me go and see her. Even if I can’t see her, he doesn’t even know how to call and talk to me about the situation.”

“The little young miss should be fine, she probably hasn’t woken up yet,” Wang Zhou assured him.

Old Master Lin pursed his lips, then looked at Butler Zhou who was standing on the side and asked, “Why haven’t the interior decorators I asked you to find arrived yet?”

“They’ve already come over to take a look, and are currently working on the design,” Butler Zhou replied.

Ever since the first time the old man watched the livestream and ‘identified’ Lin Momo as his great-grandchild, the old man ordered everyone to clean up the best room upstairs and prepare it into a room suitable for Lin Momo.

Later, the old man felt that the room was not beautiful enough, so he hired an interior designer company to redecorate the room in a little girl’s style.

“Let them hurry up,” Old Master Lin said.

“Okay, I’ll urge them again.”

Old Master Lin could only nod reluctantly. 

He began walking to the door, but stopped again and said to Housekeeper Zhou, “By the way, let them also design our garden and make it more attractive. Also, install a swing.”

When Lin Momo was recording the show, she was fascinated by the picture of a swing on a flyer.

Others may not have noticed this scene, but Old Master Lin silently remembered it in his heart.
