Chapter 211 211 Someone Arrives to Back Us Up
Faced with Zhao Xi's anger, Su Xiao smiled calmly and said, "Secretary Zhao, didn't you see it? He tried to hit me, and I was just defending myself. What's the problem?"
"You, you..." Zhao Xi really didn't expect that the gentle and weak girl in front of him would be like this. He had misjudged her. "...Soliciting nonsense."
“Secretary Zhao, your words are biased. The eyes of the masses are discerning.”
Suddenly, a clear, cold male voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone turned around and discovered that several men in military uniforms had appeared behind them, and two military vehicles were parked not far away.
Everyone knows the person who is speaking first.
"Shang, Shang, the educated youth."
"Oh, it's Shang Zhiqing! Oh my, this is going to be interesting."
Some people gloated, simply enjoying the spectacle.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Something's happened in the village and it's gotten to the higher-ups, what good will that do you?"
Some people know what's important and how to protect the village's interests.
"Shang Zhiqing." Zhao Xi's heart skipped a beat, his brows furrowed, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong.
The crowd spontaneously parted to make way, and Shang Ziming walked into the circle with a cold and dignified expression.
All eyes were on him, but no one dared to utter a sound.
Shang Ziming's gaze remained fixed on Su Xiao.
Their eyes met, and Su Xiao saw a smile in his deep eyes. She blinked, feeling a little guilty.
"Are you alright? Does your hand hurt?" Shang Ziming's words were clearly biased towards her.
Feeling embarrassed in front of everyone, Su Xiao turned to look at Zhao Lichun on the ground and whispered, "It doesn't hurt."
Shang Ziming also looked at Zhao Lichun on the ground, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, which made Zhao Lichun involuntarily shrink back.
Shang Ziming sneered, then said softly to Su Xiao, "You go rest over there, I'll handle this."
Shang Ziming's words, both forceful and gentle, made Su Xiao unconsciously respond, "Oh, okay."
Huang Feiyan was so excited that she didn't even care about her sore throat. She stepped forward, grabbed Su Xiao's hand, and wanted to ask her more questions.
Su Xiao knew exactly what she meant, and patted her hand, saying, "Don't ask, just look!"
Huang Feiyan was annoyed, but she let her go for now. Once her throat was better, she would definitely torture her to extract a confession.
"Shang Ziming, you're back?" Zhao Xi asked cautiously. He was still quite intimidated by Shang Ziming because of his military uniform, which represented power.
"Secretary Zhao, how have you been?" Shang Ziming glanced around. "Are you sure you want to say this here?"
Zhao Xi also noticed something was wrong. He frowned and said to the crowd of onlookers, "Everyone, disperse! Don't go home for dinner, don't go to work! Disperse quickly! If you delay the start of work this afternoon, you'll each lose five work points."
These words struck a nerve with most people, and although they were curious about what would happen next, they had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go, let's go..."
With most of the people gone, the scene was finally less crowded.
"Shall we go inside and talk?" Zhao Xi suggested.
Shang Zimu nodded.
"Elder Gong, Elder Cai," Shang Ziming said, looking at Elder Gong and Elder Cai who were still in the crowd, "you two should go in too."
Neither Old Man Gong nor Old Man Cai spoke, but they were both watching Su Xiaoxiao closely, ready to help her at any moment.
Upon hearing Shang Ziming's words, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Shang Zimu wouldn't have come back for no reason, and with such a grand entourage.
