Chapter 148 Suffering Injustice
"What happened to my dad?"
"Your dad got arrested by bad guys and taken to the county!"
Little Peach Blossom turned and ran!
"Hey, Little Peach Blossom, wait a minute..." He called out, but his feet couldn't keep up, and Little Peach Blossom had already run far away.
The student who remained looked at the messenger and asked, "What happened?"
The student who delivered the message ignored the group and ran after them.
The crowd looked at each other, curious but no one could provide an answer.
However, the students soon learned what had happened: Lin Guangsheng had been arrested in front of everyone at the factory.
Most people in the town and production team who heard the news thought it was unbelievable and almost laughed it off, but unfortunately, the news was indeed true.
Even the town mayor couldn't help but pick his ear upon hearing this: "Has the newly appointed one gone mad?!"
The assistant secretary said with a straight face, "I don't know either."
"He's definitely gone mad!" the mayor asserted.
Assistant Secretary: "So what do we need to do?"
"Not needed for now," the mayor said with a smile.
If Lin Guangsheng were so easy to catch, he wouldn't be Lin Guangsheng. Do you really think he just relied on a young girl? Don't you realize that someone with no background who climbed from the bottom to the position of deputy factory director wouldn't be able to hold onto that position without some tricks up his sleeve?
So, those with vision see things clearly, while those without vision... well, they can just sit back and wait for the show. I heard that guy was also incompetent; the only reason he got promoted was because there was no one else available. The capable ones were all suppressed and sent to remote places, and he just picked up the scraps.
If this person were in any other place, he might have become a local tyrant. But he's in this place, and he's made changes as soon as he arrived and hasn't changed anything. You could say he's lucky to have risen to power but unlucky to have stayed. What a disaster.
Assistant Secretary: "Won't something go wrong?"
"Something might happen, but it definitely won't be Lin Guangsheng. Okay, tell me your schedule for today."
"OK."
Little Peach Blossom ran home in a great hurry. Upon seeing Yin Qing, she rushed into her mother's arms, crying, "Mommy, has Daddy been kidnapped by bad guys?!"
Yin Qing was worried when he saw his daughter. He hadn't expected the news to reach her ears. But after hearing her words, he could only comfort her, "She was kidnapped by bad guys, but Daddy is strong, she'll be alright."
"Really?"
"Really, Mom is sure."
"Yes, Little Peach Blossom trusts her mother."
"Is Little Peach Blossom scared?" Yin Qing stroked her daughter's head.
"I was scared." Little Peach Blossom was frightened when she heard that her father had been kidnapped by bad guys. "But I'm not scared anymore, Mom." Little Peach Blossom looked up.
"Hmm?" Yin Qing looked at her daughter.
"Grandpa Tiandao said that Dad will be fine."
"Ah, so that's what Grandpa Tiandao said."
"Yes, Grandpa Tiandao said that Dad will definitely be alright."
Yin Qing's panicked heart calmed down: "Yes, if Grandpa Tiandao says nothing will happen, then nothing will happen."
"Um."
Although she knew nothing would happen, Little Peach Blossom still nestled in her mother's arms; she had been so scared just now.
Yin Qing silently stayed with her daughter.
When Li Zhen arrived, this was the heartwarming scene of a mother and daughter: "Aunt Yin."
"Li Zhen is here."
"Hmm." Li Zhen walked over: "What's wrong with Little Peach Blossom?"
"It's nothing, she's just being cute."
“Mom,” Little Peach Blossom said.
"Okay, Mom was wrong. Little Peach Blossom is a big girl, she wasn't being spoiled." After saying that, she smiled and looked at Li Zhen: "Don't worry, Little Peach Blossom will be fine."
Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had rushed over because he was worried.
"You take care of Xiaotaohua for a while, I'll go cook. Your grandfather isn't here, so we'll eat at home for lunch."
Li Zhen nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yin."
Yin Qing smiled, patted her daughter's head, and turned to go to the kitchen.
Li Zhen picked up Xiao Taohua and asked, "Are you scared?"
"Um."
"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."
“I know,” Little Peach Blossom nodded.
"Yes, you know everything will be alright, so don't be afraid."
"But I'm still so scared."
"I see."
"Um."
"What should we do then?"
"Brother gave the meat he had for Little Peach Blossom at noon."
Li Zhen said helplessly, "I knew it would turn out like this."
Little Peach Blossom's eyes darted around, and she chuckled.
Li Zhen couldn't resist pinching Xiao Taohua's face.
"Brother Li Zhen, don't pinch my face."
"You ate your brother's flesh, aren't you going to give me some compensation?"
"Well, alright then," Little Peach Blossom reluctantly agreed.
"Don't pinch Xiao Taohua's face!" Song Yi, who arrived a step later, was furious when he saw Li Zhen pinching Xiao Taohua's face as soon as he entered the door. He rushed over immediately.
Pulling Xiao Taohua behind him, Song Yi glared angrily at Li Zhen.
"Oh, the young lady is here." Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and said casually when he saw Song Yi.
"You're the little girl!"
"Why does a young girl always hide behind others? Humph."
Song Yi ignored him and turned to face Xiao Taohua: "Xiao Taohua, a girl's face shouldn't be pinched by just anyone."
Is that so?
"right!"
"But Brother Li Zhen is no ordinary person."
Li Zhen smiled smugly at Song Yi.
"But he's a boy and you're a girl, you can't pinch him."
"Oh." Little Peach Blossom nodded, but clearly didn't care much.
Song Yi pursed his lips, but he couldn't vent his anger on Xiao Taohua, so he glared at Li Zhen again.
Li Zhen glared back defiantly.
I got even angrier.
Song Yi clenched his little fist. He vowed that he must learn a skill, a skill that everyone knows! And he would learn martial arts too. He wasn't some little girl; he was a man!
No, none of that matters. Song Yi pulled Xiao Taohua up and down, looking her over: "Xiao Taohua, are you alright? Has anyone bullied you?"
"No, Brother Song Yi."
"That's good. Don't worry, my dad went to the county, Uncle Lin will definitely come back safely."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Song Yi."
"Song Yi's here! Let's have dinner together later, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
"This child is too kind," Yin Qing said before returning to the kitchen.
The meal wasn't very enjoyable for everyone. Although Xiao Taohua said everything was fine, how could we not worry when she wasn't around?
After a quick meal, Li Zhen and Song Yi were sent away by Yin Qing, who ostensibly to focus on their studies. As for Xiao Taohua, Yin Qing was worried about her daughter and didn't really want her to go to school. Besides, after what had happened, going to school might not be a good thing, as she was afraid of gossip at school. Yin Qing didn't care, but she didn't want her daughter to suffer this injustice.
Lin Guangsheng didn't come back that night, nor did Factory Director Song or Tieguai Li.
The next day, even those who initially thought Lin Guangsheng was alright began to waver.
Xiaolin Village
"No, we can't wait any longer, or our family will be doomed!" Wang Qiu said excitedly, staring at her husband.
Grandma Lin's expression was also grim: "We can't wait any longer. I remember there was a family in the city who didn't sever ties beforehand, and the whole family either died or scattered. In a broader sense, what do you think?"
