Chapter 56 The Child Pays for the Mother's Debt
"In my opinion, Lord Ning shouldn't have opened that door in the first place. Those wretched disaster victims should have been left to fend for themselves. Now, the place is full of unfamiliar faces. The West Market was already a mixed bag, and now it's even more difficult to manage..."
The topic shifted to the disaster victims, which resonated strongly with the audience. Lin Zhaozhao listened silently, her brows furrowing even more deeply.
This is not a good sign.
"What happened?" A deafening voice rang out, and a path was cleared from the inside out. It was Chen Song, the head constable of the government, who came over.
Chen Song's eyes were sharp as blades as he faced Lin Zhaozhao directly.
Lin Zhaozhao nodded slightly, "I caught a petty thief. Thank you, Officer Chen."
"Take him away." As soon as Chen Song finished speaking, a constable stepped forward and took the person away. Lin Jinxiu, who was hiding in the crowd, cursed Li Zhong for being useless. She had originally wanted to use him as a stepping stone, but now it seemed that she would have to think of another way.
Just as they were planning, the cold, mechanical voice of 009 rang out. When they looked up again, Lin Jinxiu and Lin Zhaozhao's eyes met.
Lin Zhaozhao, dressed in red, stood out in the crowd. Her features were exquisite, and her gentle smile softened the allure in her eyes, adding a touch of aloofness. As the crowd dispersed, time seemed to stand still. For a moment, Lin Jinxiu had the illusion that the person in front of her was the same person as Lin Zhaozhao from her past life.
Her heart trembled, and Lin Jinxiu abruptly stepped back, concealing her figure. She clutched her chest tightly, her hand clearly hearing the pounding of her heart, each beat heavy. In a panic, she called out to 009, "009, are you sure Lin Zhaozhao didn't reincarnate like me?"
"Test complete, no abnormalities found."
"009, I need to know everything that has happened to Lin Zhaozhao recently." Perhaps feeling threatened, Lin Jinxiu had never been so eager to crush Lin Zhaozhao under her feet as she was now.
After calming down, Lin Jinxiu looked over again, but Lin Zhaozhao and her group were nowhere to be seen.
"That man was Li Zhong."
"Well done." Lin Zhaozhao patted Lin Yangyang on the shoulder to encourage her. Lin Yangyang's eyes sparkled like a child's as she received the praise. "However, Li Zhong's existence is still a hidden danger. It was just a lucky day today, he was caught off guard and was able to be subdued so quickly. But if he comes out in a couple of days, I'm afraid he will come to the shop and cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
As night fell and the Lin family went to sleep, Lin Zhaozhao went to the West Market.
Three days later, Li Zhong was released. The moment he was exposed to the glaring sunlight, he instinctively shielded his eyes. After his eyes adjusted, Li Zhong clutched his chest, which was still aching slightly, and was kicked down the steps by the constable.
"This time the constable was magnanimous. If there is a next time, he will be severely punished." Covered in dust, Li Zhong wiped his face, got up, and limped out.
"Lin Zhaozhao, I will make you pay a hundredfold for the humiliation you have suffered today." Thinking of the suffering and torture he had endured in prison, Li Zhong's face was full of gloom. As he walked, his mind was racing, trying to figure out how to make Lin Zhaozhao pay the price.
Then, thinking of how Lin Zhaozhao had no husband but raised a child, Li Zhong smiled sinisterly. Lin Zhaozhao had caused him to be in such a state, and now that they were no longer in Li Family Village, he, the Li family, would have to pay for it.
The more Li Zhong thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He walked faster and faster, head down, when his head bumped into a hard arm. With a thud, Li Zhong felt stars in his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.
