Chapter 083 Chapter 83 Follow-up and Farewell

After such a commotion, the worries that the few people had about Lin Yue were largely dissipated.

Because of the last police report, there was some rift between Lin Yue and Aunt Su. For various reasons, she had not met Aunt Su and her family during this period.

Lin Yue was rescued today, which caused quite a stir in the whole village. Many people came to see her when she was asleep, but Aunt Su and Zhang Zhiqiang did not come because they were too busy today. In this matter, Wang Xiuxiang actually leaned more towards Lin Yue's side. This time, she was specially assigned to deliver food to Lin Yue because they had not seen each other for a long time and were afraid that they would become estranged.

She opened the basket and took out a bowl full of braised pork, a bowl of fried potato chips, a bowl of kelp soup, and a few two-ounce cakes.

She smiled and said, "Thanks to you and a few police comrades, our brigade is having a feast today! Today, everyone in our village will eat in the canteen. My father-in-law and mother-in-law understand that you still need to rest, so they asked me to bring it to you first."

Lin Yue understood what she meant, but he just smiled and didn't respond. Wang Xiuxiang's eyes flickered, and she turned to Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, Yuandong said he will be back after he finishes his work. I left some food in the cafeteria. You can come with us later."

Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, I feel relieved that someone is taking care of Wanli Niang. I heard that they brought down a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms from the mountain. I didn't know there were wild boars in our mountains. I'll go join in the fun later!"

Wang Xiuxiang also laughed and said, "Of course not. Ask the people in our area and see if anyone has ever seen a wild boar. Even the old hunters used to hunt rabbits, pheasants, and wolves, but I have never heard of anyone hunting a wild boar. Who knows where it must have migrated from."

At this point, Aunt Zhang said worriedly, "This wild boar is different from a wolf. Wolves are more or less afraid of people, but wild boars are not. I've heard that wild boars often come down from the mountains to destroy crops in the neighboring commune. From now on, you must keep an eye on your children and don't let them run around."

Lin Yue was also surprised when she heard this. She only thought that wild boars lived in the mountains, and like wolves, they would not easily come down the mountain to conflict with humans. Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, she felt a little uneasy.

You know, although the children in the village would not go into the mountains, they would run around everywhere, and some half-grown boys were very brave and could catch snakes and rabbits. If they really encountered a wild boar, it would be dangerous.

Wang Xiuxiang saw that everyone looked solemn and comforted them, "Auntie, you are right. We should take good care of these naughty boys in our village. I heard that they dared to run to the reservoir before the flood. They are simply lawless. But we don't have to worry too much. I heard my father-in-law chatting with the police and they said that they would send troops to search the mountains and try to eliminate all the wild boars."

After hearing this, several people felt relieved.

Aunt Zhang took two bowls and shared some dishes to feed the children, but Lin Yue refused. The two children understood what Lin Yue meant, took the bowls from Aunt Zhang, sat beside Lin Yue obediently, ate rice with big mouthfuls, and even looked up at Lin Yue, wanting to show their mother how good they were.

Seeing that the two children were eating well, Aunt Zhang stopped paying attention to them and chatted with a few people about her eldest granddaughter's search for a husband.

Lin Yue was arrested these days, and the brigade has held a meeting to emphasize that this is a major case of the Public Security Bureau, and everyone should not ask around. So since Lin Yue came back, no one asked her about her experience these days, and even why Zhang Xiaohui was brought down from the mountain with her. They only said a few more words when the relevant departments came to the village to investigate. However, it may be that the fear of the public is engraved in her bones, and she is very reserved when asked.

The taste of wild boar meat is not very good, it smells woody and strong. In order to cover up the stench, a lot of seasonings were added to it during cooking, and it was cooked for a long time before the smell was barely covered up. However, everyone was eating meat at this time, so this was considered a rare delicacy. The adults in the room swallowed their saliva unconsciously when they saw the two children eating so sweetly, but because Lin Yue had just woken up and they were afraid that she would need someone to take care of her, they all forced themselves to stay.

Not long after, Zhang Yuandong hurried back. As soon as he entered the room, he didn't bother to be polite with the others and just stared at Lin Yue.

When Lin Yue just came back, he actually asked Doctor Liu to come and check it out. He said that there was no problem, he was just a little frightened and he would be fine after a good sleep.

He had a mission, and the four people involved this time were more or less related to him. After Doctor Liu finished his examination and Lin Yue fell asleep again, he left in a hurry and investigated Zhang Xiaohui's situation in the village with others. He was busy until now.

Wang Xiuxiang and Sun Meifeng saw this man staring at his daughter-in-law as soon as he entered the house. They looked at each other and smiled secretly. Aunt Zhang coughed lightly and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go over and have dinner first!"

Zhang Yuandong got up and sent a few people out, and when he came back, he stayed by Lin Yue's side without moving. He was really scared, especially after hearing that Lin Yue had slept for almost a day, he was very worried.

Lin Yue's eyes softened, and he wanted to touch his head. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you always watching over me? Aren't you busy?"

Zhang Yuandong lowered his head and answered gloomily, "The village has completed the investigation. There is nothing for me to do next."

Lin Yue perked up when she heard this. She leaned over and asked, "So what's the result? What happened to Zhang Xiaohui?"

Zhang Yuandong looked up at her with a complicated look. As expected, she was most concerned about Zhang Xiaohui in this matter. He could sense that Zhang Xiaohui was also very hostile to Lin Yue. He really wanted to know what the connection between the two was, but he didn't dare to ask.

He looked at Lin Yue's reaction and said tentatively, "She was taken away by the investigation department. Her case is quite special and I don't have the right to know."

Lin Yue nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Xiaohui had revealed too much and attracted the attention of relevant departments. It seemed that she would have to be careful with her words and actions and keep a low profile in the future.

But since Zhang Xiaohui had been taken away, she didn't know what had happened to Zhang Xiaoxi. But after all, she was Zhang Yuandong's biological sister, so she really didn't know how to ask.

Zhang Yuandong didn't let her dwell on it for too long, and he said, "Xiaoxi... Zhang Xiaoxi was also taken away by the police. They won't let her out easily this time. She'll have to be locked up for a few more days. But she's too young, and we can't impose a heavy fine on her. We can only scare her."

Speaking of Zhang Xiaoxi, Zhang Yuandong's brows furrowed deeply. He firmly believed that human nature could not be changed. He did not think that Zhang Xiaoxi would change for the better after this incident. Instead, he was afraid that she would do something weird again in the future.

He wanted to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever the relationship with this family, but as long as Lin Yue and the two children were still in this village, there would be more troubles. Unless Lin Yue and the children could join the army. His palms were slightly sweaty. He was not sure whether Lin Yue would be willing to join the army with him, and he did not dare to ask.

Lin Yue didn't notice his nervousness and was still thinking about Zhang Xiaoxi. I don't know if an eleven-year-old child can be sent to a juvenile detention center. Not to mention what she did to the two children, just saying that she was involved in the case of the enemy spy is not a small crime.

She thought so and asked the question, without any hesitation because she was Zhang Yuandong's sister. Zhang Yuandong thought about it and said, "I'm not sure about this either. I'll ask someone later."

"No need to ask. Zhang Xiaoxi is connected to the enemy spies and is a voluntary accomplice. The higher-ups will probably deal with him specially."

Liu Fang came in from outside. He had long since taken off his lady's clothes. Anyone who saw him now would say that he was a lively young man. Lin Yue almost didn't recognize him.

Liu Fang lowered his head and touched his nose, holding a bunch of things in his hands, and called out awkwardly: "Sister-in-law..."

Lin Yue laughed and joked, "Hey, who is this handsome young man? Do you have a date? If not, let me introduce you to someone."

Liu Fang quickly begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to do it anymore, is that okay? Please let me go!"

Lin Yue laughed for a while, stopped teasing him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Fang put his bags on the table with an honest look, and said sincerely: "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, I am here today to apologize. It is my fault that I failed to protect you and the two children, causing you to encounter so many dangers..."

Lin Yue interrupted him quickly: "Alright, alright, this is not your fault, it was all an emergency, what can you do alone!"

Liu Fang felt very guilty about this matter, and he was not as energetic as before, but he did not want to bring his emotions to them, so he just said: "I will leave with the investigation department tonight, but don't worry, I will follow up on this matter even if I go back. Brother Zhang, I wonder what your plan is? After all, she is your sister..."

Zhang Yuandong frowned: "Breaking the law is breaking the law, we should deal with it as it should be dealt with. I wish I could publish an article in the newspaper to sever the relationship with you for harming my sister!"

"In that case, if you agree, I will go back and ask my superiors to let her stay in the juvenile detention center for a few more years, so that she won't cause any more harm outside."

Seeing that Zhang Yuandong had no objection, Liu Fang knew what was going on, so he stopped talking and started talking about something else.

Liu Fang came this time not only to apologize, but also to say goodbye. He left his contact information with the two of them, agreed to write to each other frequently, and then left in a hurry. Before leaving, he shamelessly took the family photo they took together and put it in his wallet with great care.

Lin Yue sighed: "I didn't expect him to leave so hastily. I feel really reluctant to let him go."

Zhang Yuandong hesitated and said, "I am about to leave. The mission here is over, and I should return to the army."

Lin Yue was startled and asked hurriedly: "When are you leaving? Have you decided yet?"

Zhang Yuandong shook his head: "It should be these few days. I haven't bought the ticket yet."

Lin Yue felt a sense of loss in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Zhang Yuandong looked at her intently, as if he wanted to engrave her face into his mind. There were so many emotions in his eyes that Lin Yue couldn't understand them for a moment. Her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something would happen between the two of them.

He was a dithering person who never took the initiative in matters of the heart. Every time Lin Yue thought something was going to happen between them, Zhang Yuandong would dither and no one knew what he was thinking. After dragging his feet for so long, if he didn't show any sign of interest, Lin Yue would want to do it himself.
