Chapter 151 Regret
That being said, Old Man Lin and his group's reputation in Xiaolin Village has completely soured.
The peace that had been maintained seemed to have vanished, replaced by a cold-blooded force beneath the surface.
Although the cowshed was remote, they still heard the news, and then just sighed.
They've all been through it all, so they weren't too surprised by this change. Everything was for their own benefit; they've experienced it all, so they understand, but that doesn't mean they agree with it.
There was plenty to say about the educated youth at their settlement. Some cursed loudly, while others remained indifferent. Of course, these were all just private conversations among themselves and were not expressed openly.
No matter what, it's their own business; as outsiders, they are still excluded.
However, the villagers of Xiaolin Village showed no mercy to Lin Guangyi and his group, hurling insults at them without hesitation. For a time, Lin Guangyi's position as the brigade leader began to teeter on the brink of collapse, making him seriously doubt whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Regardless, there was still no news from his elder brother, which made Lin Guangyi somewhat relieved.
However, just as he was about to feel relieved, news came from the county.
"What did you say?" Lin Guangyi looked at the person who relayed the message.
"Several production teams and town leaders have reported Comrade Gao Ming." The words the visitor spoke struck Lin Guangyi's heart like a hammer.
They might not have known who Gao Ming was before, but now they know him perfectly well, the one who arrested Lin Guangsheng.
Lin Guangyi was somewhat dazed: "You didn't hear me wrong?" He grasped at the last straw.
The messenger shook his head: "I heard you right."
"How could that be? I didn't receive any news," Lin Guangyi murmured.
"The Xiaolin Village production team also received a share, but it was Comrade Lin Aisheng who participated."
Lin Guangyi couldn't help but take a step back, feeling a little dizzy.
"You'd better watch yourself. It seems Lin Guangsheng will be fine this time." Looking at Lin Guangyi's state, the other party could only say, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish." Pushing away his elder brother like this, although many people might think it's understandable, it's still too ugly.
The news came out of nowhere, and Lin Guangyi felt dizzy when he heard it, but for Yin Qing and the others, it was good news.
"Comrade Yin Qing, don't worry, no matter how powerful Gao Ming is, he can't suppress the people."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"No, it's because Comrade Lin Guangsheng is innocent, otherwise so many people wouldn't have jointly reported Gao Ming."
It's easy to imagine that no matter how capable Gao Ming is, he will still have to go down!
Yin Qing excitedly saw the visitor off. After waiting for several days, the good news had finally arrived. How could she not be happy?
Compared to Yin Qing's joy, Gao Ming was genuinely not happy: "They actually dared!" Gao Ming was also shocked when he first heard the news, but after the shock, he realized that this problem was unsolvable for him; he was trapped.
"What should we do now?" The secretary paced back and forth anxiously.
Although he had always followed Gao Ming and done a lot for him, he had never experienced being in a position of opposition to everyone.
Gao Ming forced himself to calm down: "Go contact that person."
"I contacted them, but they said they wouldn't do anything about it." How could the secretary not have contacted them? But this matter has become too big a fuss; even that person can't handle it.
"If you contact him again, just say that if I'm finished, he won't get away with it either!" Gao Ming made up his mind.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, right away." The secretary hurriedly made the contact, leaving Gao Ming alone, who angrily smashed the enamel mug: "Fine, very well, one Lin Guangsheng has managed to unite everyone!"
This incident, where not just one or two people, but many people with some position banded together to report one person, has blown up. First, Gao Ming was suspended from his post, and the rest of the investigation will continue.
On the first day Gao Ming was locked up, he still had hope. On the second day, he was still threatening people. On the third day, he was still arrogant. But on the fourth and fifth days, and a week later, Gao Ming knew that it was impossible for him to turn the tables.
The secretary was locked up with him.
When they finally get to see each other, the secretary can only cry and can't do anything.
It's over, it's really over.
Gao Ming was even somewhat dazed, feeling that this outcome was wrong, shouldn't have been like this, yet this was exactly the result. He appealed, but no one paid attention to him. He said that there were still people in the counties below who were practicing superstition, but no one paid attention to him either, because everyone's testimony was the same—a lie that Gao Ming had fabricated to consolidate his position!
Under such a major trend, Gao Ming is just an insignificant person. With so many people joining together to boycott him, there is only one outcome for him: to be abandoned, or even discarded, and rendered useless.
Moreover, the news that he sent people to arrest them was also revealed, which is another crime.
With all these charges combined, Gao Ming, who had just taken office and was full of vigor and eager to make a big splash, was shot dead in just one month!
He truly regretted it before the bullet hit him. He regretted that even if he had to move, he shouldn't have moved against Lin Guangsheng. How could he have been so bewitched?
Gao Ming's fate is not worth paying attention to; what is worth paying attention to is that Lin Guangsheng was released.
The day he was released, everyone went to congratulate him, and they all brought gifts.
Lin Guangsheng didn't want to be so high-profile, but he couldn't go against the public's wishes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Song Feng patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Indeed, I really have to thank everyone this time." Tieguai Li smiled as he looked at the crowd.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Tieguai Li and Lin Guangsheng's family, and upon hearing this, they laughed and said, "We are just stating the facts; how can we let someone be wronged?"
"Yes, Comrade Guang Sheng is a good comrade. What is Gao Ming anyway?"
"That's right, we're just doing our duty by standing up for what's right!"
"Ha ha……"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Lin Guangsheng smiled along, but still expressed his gratitude.
This lively atmosphere lasted all day, until evening, when Lin Guangsheng finally saw off the last group of congratulatory guests.
Only close relatives remained in the family, such as Song Feng and his son, and Tieguai Li and his grandson.
"Thank goodness nothing happened this time." Song Feng couldn't help but wipe away his cold sweat as he thought about it.
"It's quite risky, but as long as the result is good, that's fine." Tieguai Li nodded.
"I never expected it to turn out like this." Lin Guangsheng was truly grateful for everyone's help.
Although he felt that he was upright and had nothing to fear, and that he was somewhat capable, it wasn't so easy for him to get out. He never expected that people he didn't usually interact with would report Gao Ming for his sake, and that so many people would come. He was truly surprised and grateful.
"Alright, you've benefited from your daughter's influence, but of course, it also has to do with your character." Tieguai Li wasn't surprised at all, but he hadn't expected those people to come up with such an idea. He had to admit, it was a great idea, even better than trying to pull strings.
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about Xiao Taohua anymore.” As a friend, Song Feng knew Lin Guangsheng’s worries about his daughter. Now that’s good, there’s no need to worry about that at all.
Lin Guangsheng smiled genuinely: "Yes, it's great."
The group exchanged glances and all smiled simultaneously.
