Chapter 14 A Bolt from the Blue
They had prepared contingency plans for today's market day to prevent any unexpected problems, but before they could even discover the issue, some members of the public saw it and reported it.
The higher-ups took this situation very seriously and immediately arranged the work in a serious atmosphere.
Some were conducting investigations, others were carrying out rescues; in short, the operation was swift and orderly.
After giving instructions to his men, he finally had time to exchange pleasantries with Lin Guangsheng: "I am truly grateful for the clues provided by Comrade Lin."
"Serving the people is what we should do."
"Yes, yes, I really didn't expect that these kidnappers would become more and more rampant."
Lin Guangsheng sighed: "That's right."
After exchanging a few words, Lin Guangsheng took his leave.
He also wants to take his daughter to the market.
However, to Lin Guangsheng's utter surprise, while he was still reporting the case to the police, someone there was already planning to harm his daughter.
Yin Qing carried Xiao Taohua away from the crowd, saying they would continue strolling through the market together. However, Yin Qing still felt uneasy and decided to wait at the post office. After discussing it with Xiao Taohua, the mother and daughter headed towards the post office.
It's unclear whether these flower sellers were determined to get Xiao Taohua or were simply obsessed with her. The underling who had sent Wang Tielu away happened to see Xiao Taohua and her daughter and secretly followed them.
Seeing that the man wasn't there, the younger brother had an idea.
This was something he did on a whim. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around the mother and daughter, he didn't know why he suddenly had a brain fart, rushed over, snatched the little peach blossom from Yin Qing's hand, and ran away.
Yin Qing didn't even react at first, but when she did, she chased after him, shouting, "Child! They're snatching my child! Give me back my child!"
Yin Qing's shout was unusual and immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. Upon hearing that someone was trying to snatch a child, they all rushed to give chase!
Once the younger brother had made up his mind to snatch the child, he couldn't have been without a backup plan. He quickly chose an alley and prepared to slip inside.
Once he's inside the alley, who can find him?
No sooner said than done, a bolt of lightning struck from the clear sky—*crack!*—and the underling fell straight down, becoming Little Peach Blossom's human shield.
Little Peach Blossom: ...
Before she could even feel the tension, she realized she was saved.
Yin Qing was terrified.
Even when I held the little peach blossom in my arms again, I didn't dare let go.
"Little Peach Blossom, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy's here, don't be afraid."
"Mommy." Little Peach Blossom nuzzled Yin Qing's face.
"Don't be afraid, it's Mom's fault, Mom shouldn't have let go."
Yin Qing was genuinely terrified, fearing that in the blink of an eye, the child would be lost forever.
"Mom, Little Peach Blossom is alright. Grandpa Heaven is protecting Little Peach Blossom."
"Yes, God bless us."
Yin Qing was still in shock, but the people around her weren't like her. They just found it strange that such a thunderbolt could strike in the dead of winter, with such thick snow. And that wasn't all; the thunderbolt had struck the beggar directly—what a terrible thing!
Instead of being a decent person, they insist on doing despicable things. Now, even God can't stand it anymore.
Bah! You deserve it!
Of course, while they might think this way, they dared not say it aloud. After all, people have been quite wary of such mysterious and esoteric matters in recent years, and no one wanted to get caught in the crossfire.
That girl, on the other hand, is so lucky.
The group exchanged glances, then, cursing and swearing, they found a rope to tie up the unconscious henchman. The group then took the kidnapper to the police station, and Yin Qing went with them.
In this episode, Yin Qing is too scared to go out and just wants to find a safe place.
Just then, Lin Guangsheng, who had just stepped out of the police station, ran into Yin Qing and his group.
"Yin Qing, Xiao Taohua, what brings you here?" Weren't we supposed to wait for each other at the post office?
When Yin Qing saw the pillar of her family, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Lin Guangsheng immediately panicked: "What's going on?"
It was the helpful bystanders who answered Lin Guangsheng's question: "Hey, this young lady is really scared. These child snatchers are so audacious these days, trying to snatch a child in broad daylight. Serves them right! They'll be struck by lightning!"
Lin Guangsheng didn't pay attention to what was said afterward; he only heard about the child being snatched. Seeing Yin Qing like this, he understood immediately. He was also feeling lingering fear.
I couldn't resist hugging my wife and child together, holding them tightly in my arms. It was so close!
The commotion outside quickly attracted the attention of those inside. They were even more shocked to hear that the crowd had caught the beggar on the spot. In addition, the beggar was unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, which drew a lot of attention.
Little Peach Blossom was held quietly in her mother's arms, occasionally rubbing her face against her mother's. Later, when she saw her father, she rubbed against him as well.
Seeing the flower seller locked up with his own eyes finally restored some of Yin Qing's rationality.
"Guangsheng, I'm fine." Yin Qing forced a smile.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you."
"It's none of your business."
Shooting flowers requires action, not just one or two people.
"Mom and Dad, Little Peach Blossom is alright, don't be sad."
"Yes, our little peach blossom is very lucky and has a long life. She is blessed by God." Yin Qing didn't even dare to think that if it weren't for that lightning, she might never have seen little peach blossom again.
"Yes!" Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically.
The family of three has finally returned to peace.
Just then, someone came over and said, "Comrade Lin, that beggar has woken up and confessed some things."
They never expected that the woman would confess without any interrogation.
From how to find the child today, to the handling of Xiao Taohua, to even the whereabouts of the children they caught today, they all confessed.
How could the younger brother not be afraid?
I've heard old people say since I was little that those who do bad things will be struck by lightning. I was scared when I was a kid. But after I grew up and did so many bad things, I never heard of anyone being struck by lightning. So I gradually stopped caring. I never expected that I would be struck by lightning myself today.
Plus, I woke up in the police station.
Unlike his older brother, this younger brother had experienced so much. He was so scared that he wet his pants and had to confess everything quickly, even to his older brother.
Good heavens, one lightning strike wiped them all out!
This man was there to explain to Lin Guangsheng that, with the clues from that underling, many people below had already begun preparing to close the net. Because the underling's confession mentioned Xiao Taohua, it was natural that the parents of the person involved needed to know about this.
When Lin Guangsheng heard from the other party what the group of flower sellers were planning to do, he was so angry that he wanted to beat them up!
What do you dislike?
Just because you don't like something, you do this despicable thing!
They got off easy by being struck by lightning!
He should have been hacked to death!
"Comrade Lin, don't worry, none of those guys will escape!" After all, judging from the tone of that underling, they still had several lives in their hands. People like that are just wasting air and deserve to be shot!
