Qin Diao stared in shock at the little girl who had vanished like a gust of wind, his belief in her words growing even stronger. This little girl was definitely no ordinary person.
"Oh right, what did the little girl say? 'Watch your cuffs'?" Qin Diao quickly straightened her cuffs; there was nothing wrong with them. She reached inside—there was cardboard? This feeling...
Having lived this long and experienced so much, Qin Diao already guessed what it was. She held up the cuff to her eyes and looked inside; it really was something.
This girl! How can she be so honest? They only met once, and this child saved her and gave her money. No way, she definitely has to send the money back to this child.
Before she had taken two steps forward, she heard the crackling of gunfire coming from inside the city. Qin Diao knew something was wrong; something had happened. She quickly found a place to hide.
It's not that she doesn't want to go out and help; it's just that she's an old woman and there's nothing she can do to help. It's best not to go over and cause trouble.
Tang Yue had a clear view of the situation at the state-run restaurant. She had already taken out her gun and was preparing to tear an opening from behind.
Meanwhile, Chang Yin and his group tied up all 23 Red Army soldiers and dragged them toward the state-run restaurant. There was room there, and they could keep an eye on them.
Moreover, Chang Yin didn't think Tang Yue was making baseless accusations based on what she had just told him; he was certain that the head chef at the state-run restaurant was the one with the problem.
When the group was still more than 100 meters away from the state-run restaurant, they heard a lot of hurried footsteps in the distance.
Their location was exactly where the old woman Li had been hiding. The group quickly hid behind the wall, while the head chef of the state-run restaurant came out wielding a cleaver.
"Who's so reckless as to dare to mess with Director Niu's son? I think they really don't want to live anymore."
Chef Dong strained to open his small, round eyes as wide as he could, only daring to come out after hearing the chaotic footsteps in the distance. Old Lady Li had shouted as soon as she entered, but these soldiers were truly formidable; they had taken down over twenty Red Army soldiers with their bare hands, without any weapons.
It seems he can't go out without a gun. But he really can't take that thing out right now. He could only pretend to be angry and shout a few words, pretending to look for something. Director Niu and his men arrived quite quickly.
This was naturally his chance to shine. In the entire Panyun County, as long as they controlled Director Niu, they could continue doing whatever they wanted.
A group of people quickly arrived at the entrance of the state-run restaurant. Director Niu looked at the disheveled and humiliated Red Army soldiers piled up in the corner in the distance, his eyes bloodshot. He saw his beloved son being crushed at the very bottom by everyone else.
"You bastards, how dare you? Men, go and bring him back!"
A motley crew of people, dressed in all sorts of clothes, were about to rush forward. Chang Yin didn't reveal himself, but he could already see that some of them were armed. They were clearly police officers.
It's no use saying anything now; Director Niu has clearly taken control of the entire Panyun County. Chang Yin didn't want to get involved in the county's affairs; their priority now was to quickly get into the Qinling Mountains to find their missing person.
Chang Yin wasn't sure if these people could even see their faces clearly now that the little girl was gone. He spoke coldly, "These people tried to rob people in broad daylight and should be punished."
"Which one of you is from the Public Security Bureau? These people need to be taken back for questioning."
Director Niu laughed upon hearing this, "Haha, good lad. Do you know who I am? Do you think you can just interrogate my son as you please? Even if he did rob someone today, so what?"
"In this Panyun County, you dare to mess with my Niu family? It seems you're really tired of living."
Chang Yin wasn't angry at all; there were actually quite a few people like that. In this era, far from the reach of the emperor, many officials, once they became minor officials, would try to revive the old ways. He just felt sorry for the people of this county. They had seen the empty, numb eyes of so many people when they entered the city.
It was clear that life was extremely difficult.
"Do all of you share the same thoughts as this man surnamed Niu?"
Chang Yin didn't even want to call himself a comrade anymore. How could someone like that be worthy of being their comrade?
No one from the group coming from the opposite direction spoke. Chang Yin curled the corners of his lips. Today, the world in Panyun County was about to change.
Several people were already heading this way, and a dozen or so men came running towards them with great fanfare. Wang Ming and his group were already prepared, and when these guys came over, they were quickly subdued and kicked to the ground.
"presumptuous!"
Upon seeing this, Director Niu was furious. Wasn't this a blatant slap in his face? He immediately disregarded everything else and shouted at the Public Security Bureau Chief, Kuang Baiyan, "Old Kuang, you saw it too. These bad elements are wearing military uniforms and swindling people. They don't respect the country's cadres at all. These people must be brought down and severely punished."
Otherwise, wouldn't our Panyun County be completely ruined by these people?
Kuang Baiyan glanced at the people opposite him. In fact, he was unsure of their abilities. These people were far more skilled than the people he had seen before, and he dared not underestimate them at all.
But now that we're already on the ship, how can Qi just get off?
"Comrades, someone has come to Panyun County to cause trouble. We must take down these bad elements today and restore peace to Panyun County. Comrades, charge!"
Although everyone knew what was going on, their thinking had long been distorted by these officials, and now they believed whatever the leaders said.
They've been bullying ordinary people for so long. They don't care who you are. As long as there's profit to be made, whoever they say is who they want.
