Grandpa He's neck veins bulged, his bloodshot eyes protruded, and he let out a most piercing cry: "No—"

Grandma Yang was also terrified and felt a chill run through her body: "Director Chen, I was wrong, we were wrong, we beg you, please don't notify the people from the machinery factory, okay? I'll kowtow to you!"

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down.

Xiao Yu stepped forward and used a counter-grappling move to pin her down, then restrained her hands behind her back.

Grandma Yang instinctively struggled, opening her mouth as if to curse.

Chen Qing: "Shut up."

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Chen Qing called to Mao Mao, "Go to our factory doctor and come check on Xiao He's condition."

Mao Mao nodded: "Okay."

He left in a hurry.

He led the people back in a hurry.

The factory doctor carefully examined Yang Yihe's injuries, applied some ointment to relieve her pain, and then reported to Chen Qing: "Factory Director, Comrade Yang's injuries are not serious, but the act of choking her is more likely to cause psychological trauma."

Chen Qing nodded, somewhat satisfied with his reply.

Immediately, Chen Qing turned his gaze to the security officer from the machinery factory who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Officer Li, leading a group of people on bicycles, pedaled so hard his feet were practically spinning. When he arrived in front of Chen Qing, he was covered in sweat and panting. He said to Chen Qing, "Director Chen, hello, I'm an officer from the security department, my surname is Li."

"Officer Li, hello, thank you for making this trip." Chen Qing greeted him politely.

Officer Li waved his hand.

Seeing that he was still catching his breath, Chen Qing simply asked someone to explain the situation to him and let him catch his breath.

That concludes the explanation.

He caught his breath.

Officer Li looked at Chen Qing with gratitude.

Chen Qing said calmly, "You have all seen the situation. Comrade He lost control of his emotions and acted excessively, which involved attempted murder. He also threatened the pillars of the country with unfounded filial piety, causing extremely bad influence. However, given that he is an employee of a sister factory, he will be handed over to you to take back for processing. As for the specific situation, I will explain it to your factory committee."

Officer Li said solemnly, "Director Chen, rest assured, we will definitely deal with this seriously and will never tolerate such behavior that corrupts morals and disrupts social order!"

Chen Qing: "I believe the leaders of the machinery factory will give Comrade Yang Yihe a satisfactory explanation."

When Officer Li saw her icy gaze, his heart sank in as well.

With a wave of his hand, two other security personnel immediately stepped forward and took the completely limp Grandpa He from Wang Wenming and Dwarf Tiger.

This time, Grandpa He didn't struggle. He just stared intently at the ground, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, muttering, "It's over...it's all over..."

I lost my job.

They had no choice but to return to their village.

Having lost her granddaughter from Tsinghua University and her house in the city, if she goes back home to farm, can she still keep her grandson?!

He dared not hate Chen Qing.

All I can do is hate Yang Yihe.

If Yang Yihe hadn't provoked Chen Qing, Chen Qing would never have stood up for her!

Chen Qing did not step forward.

He won't be in such a bad situation.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if he had raised his granddaughter properly.

Seeing that his hair was half-gray and that he had caused such a mess, Officer Li sighed with disappointment: "Let's go, we'll talk about it back at the factory!"

Seeing her husband about to be taken away, Grandma Yang completely broke down and pleaded with Lin Leyu, "Master Lin, we were wrong, we really know we were wrong, please ask Director Chen to let us go, my old man is too old to take any more trouble... Yaozu, Yaozu, please help your grandma plead with your sister!"

He Yaozu, who was named, was already terrified and huddled in a corner, shaking his head frantically.

Officer Li directly dragged away the two who were trying to gain sympathy.

Grandma Yang covered her mouth and sobbed, not knowing how things had turned out this way.

He Yaozu was thinking of his mother and wanted to break free from his grandmother's control, but she slapped him.

Grandma Yang said fiercely, "If you don't continue our family line and take care of us in our old age, I'll beat you to death!"

He Yaozu was so dizzy and stunned by her slap that he was pulled away by Grandma Yang.

Looking at this scene, Yang Yihe suddenly understood why her grandparents had adopted He Yaozu.

Because they wanted a puppet to support them in their old age, and they wanted someone to inherit the surname 'He'.

In the eyes of the maternal grandparents, it doesn't matter who the grandson is; what they want is someone who can bring them honor.

After figuring things out, Yang Yihe's gloom vanished.

The scene was filled with sighs and lamentations.

Chen Qing scanned the room: "If you are all biased and believe only one side, and deny the comrades who have made great contributions to our garment factory because of a few words from others, I will suspect that you are all like He, a bunch of idiots!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces fell, and no one dared to admit that they were truly thinking the worst about Yang Yihe.

But the factory manager's words made it seem like the person who was going to speak ill of the old man was just as stupid.

Someone seized the opportunity to fawn over her: "No, no, Factory Director, we've watched Xiaohe grow up. She's a student at Tsinghua University. How could we slander Xiaohe for something we have no evidence of? We're too busy feeling sorry for her."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began praising Xiaohe, showering her with compliments, while secretly resenting the person who started the compliments!

Chen Qing nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, let's disperse. It's so hot, don't you guys mind the sun?"

Everyone reluctantly parted ways.

Chen Qing then entered Senior Lin's house, went to Xiao He's side, and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't feel embarrassed. Actually, even if this matter blows up, it's not a big deal. We can just report it to the Women's Federation: 'After a certain despicable man swapped his granddaughter for his grandson, he then coveted the granddaughter's talent and wanted to possess multiple children. Is this the extinction of humanity or the depravity of morality?'"

Yang Yihe chuckled, amused. She looked intently at her aunt, her eyes filled with deep admiration, as if it would be easier to ask these people for help once she became more powerful.

Chen Qing patted her hair: "You're a great kid, so prepare the materials you need for tomorrow's meeting well."

Xiaoyu immediately collapsed onto the sofa.

My aunt always makes inexplicable transitions in her work.

Yang Yihe smiled and nodded: "I understand."

Lin Leyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao He didn't seem scared: "These people are too arrogant."

Chen Qing also sighed: "The security department is still short-staffed."

The employees of the summer sportswear factory were all wealthy, and some educated youths who had returned to the city and had nowhere else to go or petty thugs would easily gather around them.

When a person doesn't have a stable job and is disliked by their family, they are prone to becoming agitated.

My heart is dry.

Seeing others living well makes it easier to go crazy.

Job openings!!

This is the best way to break the deadlock.

Chen Qing asked Xiao Yu to pack a meal to take home, as she was going home to work on her proposal.

Xiao Yu snorted in frustration and complained, "My aunt always tells me to relax and not to overwork myself, but she doesn't eat properly!"

Mao Mao glanced at the red marks on Xiao He's neck and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go get some food and we'll eat at Xiao He's house later."

No one had any objections.

When Mao Mao returned, he secretly bought a silk scarf from the supply and marketing cooperative opposite the Shengxia Sports Clothing Factory and gave it to Xiao He.

Yang Yihe quietly cherished this warmth in her hands before joining everyone for dinner. (End of Chapter)
