Chapter 488 The Marlin Family’s Black Industry
Chapter 488 The Marlin Family’s Black Industry
A bright red shuttle came from the distant sky. In the manor, the servants who noticed this scene suddenly tensed up and started to work like clockwork.
They didn't want to appear in front of the "female devil" because they had nothing to do. Everyone knew that the second daughter of the Marin family was arrogant and domineering, and it would be bad if they offended her.
The shuttle braked suddenly and stopped at the door.
Hena was wearing a black coat and high heels. She took out a bouquet of flowers and a box of supplements from the trunk and walked towards the villa without looking back. The shuttle behind her automatically parked itself.
The villa in the manor was large, but extremely empty and quiet without a single human voice. The only sound was the "clacking" of high heels on the ground.
Hena went up to the third floor, opened the door of the baby's room and walked in.
The sunlight shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room warm and bright. The walls are painted pink, and the lace curtains and dolls everywhere make the room full of fantasy and childlike fun.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a lady with her hair tied up was sitting in a rocking chair, apparently feeding the baby in her arms, with a nurse standing behind her.
Hena put the bag on the table, holding the flowers, walked to the woman and squatted down: "Sister, are you feeding the baby?"
"Ah, you're here. Baby, look who this is? Auntie, you look so happy. Do you like flowers too?"
Hena stood up slowly, looking at this "warm" scene but she didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she looked at her sister's arms worriedly.
The one wrapped in the swaddling clothes was not a real human baby, but a product of high technology. The skin was made of the softest human-like skin, and the inside was made of steel parts.
It looks just like a human child; its voice, mumbling, expression, and even its eyeballs are lifelike.
Like child companion robots and elderly care robots, soothing robots have also emerged to meet human emotional needs.
The only difference is eating and excretion. Robots do not have digestive functions, and whatever they eat will be excreted intact according to the excretion frequency set by humans.
However, this tiny flaw is not a big deal, because how could a mentally ill person think so complicatedly?
Hena sat down and talked with her sister Gina for a while.
Although she was crazy about the children, Gina didn't seem sick at all when talking about other topics.
Until the baby in her arms cried out, Gina drove her away: "Ah~ Are we disturbing the baby by talking?"
"Don't stay here. The baby should take a nap now. I'm sleepy too. Stay with her for a while."
Hena glanced at the maid who was taking care of her, then said "OK" and went out.
The maid soon came out of the baby's room.
"How is your sister doing lately? Are you awake often?"
The maid replied respectfully, "Not very well. You know, the little lady was taken away in the winter. Every year at this time, Miss Gina's condition gets worse. She always tosses and turns before going to sleep at night, and often has nightmares when she falls asleep."
"Recently, I have to rely on tranquilizers to fall asleep. When I woke up the day before yesterday morning, I regained consciousness for a while, but I cried for a long time again..."
Hena frowned as she listened, and finally closed her eyes, turned her face away and sighed.
"Where are my dad and brother-in-law?"
"My uncle was here just now, but I don't know where he is now. Can I help you find him?"
Hena waved her hand: "Forget it, no need." She just asked casually.
When going downstairs, Hena met a young woman dressed seductively at the stairs. She immediately showed disgust on her face, as if she had seen something dirty.
But the woman came up to him without changing her expression, and said frivolously, "Hey, the second young lady is back. Are you looking for your father? Robert is talking to Yaozong in the study."
Hearing the woman calling her father and brother-in-law's names so intimately, as if she really regarded herself as the mistress of the Marin family, Hena's eyes were filled with anger that was about to burst out.
"I was wondering why I smelled a foul odor as soon as I entered the room today. It turns out there really is a vixen here."
The woman raised her arm and sniffed it, her smile still sweet: "Sexy? Your father likes it very much."
Hena couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over...
At this time, in a study room in the villa, the son-in-law of the Marin family and the current person in power, Old Marin, were indeed discussing things as the woman said.
The two had been together for quite some time, but they still couldn't reach a consensus.
This morning, Lin Yaozong received the news from his subordinates and immediately came to report to his father-in-law. If this project can be successful, he will break the embarrassing situation of the Ma Lin family at the bottom of the upper class.
Although he was born in poverty, Lin Yaozong has always been ambitious. With his own ability, he was admitted to the imperial planet from a remote asteroid. After winning the heart of the eldest daughter of the Ma Lin family, he rose to prominence and directly joined his father-in-law's company and became the general manager.
At first, Old Ma Lin was wary of his son-in-law and did not dare to let him interfere in core affairs. But gradually, Lin Yaozong showed his ability in business and remained consistent with his wife, so Old Ma Lin gradually gave up power.
Lin Yaozong was a man of swift action, with both means and ideas. Under his management, the "Zhi Ai Hotel" was adjusted from equipment, decoration to service. It was upgraded to a higher level, from a fast and economical hotel to a mid-range and high-end hotel.
He also saw the business opportunities of the planet Mengmed and invested in building the "Water City" when the two places just established contact. Because of the blessing of the tourism industry, there is an endless stream of people coming to shop.
Of course, compared with its secret business, the profits on the books seem insignificant.
He did this completely without consulting his father-in-law later. He thought his father-in-law would be furious when he found out, but he was only surprised for a moment and then gladly accepted it.
It was also from that day that Old Marin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I didn't want you to be exposed to these things. In case something happens to me in the future, you can still take care of Gina and the others. I didn't expect that you would jump in yourself. I won't hide it from you."
Lin Yaozong only then realized that in addition to the domestic robots and hotel business, the Ma Lin family also had such a large pornography industry line...
"Otherwise, how can I, an outsider, gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital Star? Can hotels and technology companies be opened casually?" Old Marin laughed.
Lin Yaozong immediately realized that his father-in-law's purpose in establishing these two companies might not be as simple as entering the upper class society, but more for money laundering.
Old Marin also taught him his experience. After all, Water City had such a huge profit, it would be a shame if he didn't make some moves.
Unfortunately, the Water City was later destroyed due to some incidents.
Lin Yaozong felt so angry when he thought of Xifusi. Cutting off someone's financial resources was like cutting off his limbs. But he couldn't do anything about Xifusi, so he could only swallow his anger.
Fortunately, he soon smelled another bigger business opportunity - that is medicinal materials.
There is no one who does not cherish life. The richer a person is, the more he fears death.
How Selvie Seaforth recovered was no secret in the industry. Coupled with the emperor's attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine, it was obvious that this would be a huge market in the future.
If he could be the first to land on the mysterious planet Goodall, Lin Yaozong was confident that he could grab a big piece of the pie just like he did on the planet Mengmed.
Moreover, this business is a legitimate one, which allows him to stand tall and proud in front of those second-generation rich people who look down on others and give them a good slap in the face.
However, the initial investment is definitely not small, and the difficulty is also very high. The evil of the Goodell planet is well known to everyone. It is also because of this that Old Marin has never been optimistic. He believes that this is an investment with no certain rate of return and the risk is too high.
"So what if you get its exact coordinates? Can you make it 'appear'?" Old Marin asked pointedly.
"According to our monitoring, it has been very unstable recently and may completely reveal itself one day."
"Then wait until the day when it fully reveals itself and then tell me."
But what would we do then? Lin Yaozong was very anxious.
"Didn't the Sifos family develop a new type of detector to bring the child back? It is said that it has been successful..."
"You also said it was the Sifos family." Old Marlin interrupted impatiently. "Given our current relationship with them, why would they give us their technology?"
"It's impossible. Forget it."
"dad……"
Lin Yaozong wanted to fight for it, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream.
