People in the neighborhood were attracted by Liu Juan's shouts and ran over one after another.
Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Tao quickly said to Ma Huijuan:
"I won't come inside with you. I'm going to hide out of town for a while."
He was indeed a bit too impulsive just now. That kick was quite hard. If the child had died, he would have become a murderer.
We're in a crackdown period now, and even the smallest mistake can be blown out of proportion, let alone a murder case!
Leaving the mother and child behind, Lin Tao went back to pack his things, said goodbye to Jiang Rou, and disappeared again.
At first, Liu Juan was only focused on checking on Zhuangzhuang's condition and didn't have time to think about calling the police.
Only after Zhuangzhuang was admitted to the hospital did she remember to cause trouble for Lin Tao.
But she had only met Lin Tao once, so where was she supposed to find him?
Upon hearing that Zhuangzhuang was in trouble, Yao Zheng dropped everything and rushed over.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said solemnly:
"Don't we know which kindergarten that child goes to? We'll find out by going there."
Soon after, Kunkun was questioned by the police at the kindergarten.
He saw the person in uniform and remained unusually calm, then recounted the situation.
Of course, he didn't say he kicked it, he only said he touched it lightly.
When asked where his father was, he shook his head blankly.
"I don't know, I've only known this dad for a few days."
The police could find almost no useful information here; finding Lin Tao would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
After taking care of his child in the hospital for two days, Yao Zheng, with his unshaven beard, couldn't take it anymore.
He fell ill immediately.
When he fell ill, his work was temporarily handed over to the bureau chief.
During his hospitalization, people from construction sites all over the city came to the Urban Construction Bureau one after another, displaying banners and demanding the resumption of production.
Those who went there to hang banners were all construction workers.
They get paid for each day they work, but if they don't work for ten days or half a month, what do they eat and drink? What do their wives and children eat and drink?
The bureau chief immediately developed an opinion of Yao Zheng, the newly appointed deputy bureau chief.
You get away with all this trouble, but he has to clean up your mess.
Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, he quickly issued an official document ordering a large-scale safety inspection of only the companies involved, while all other construction projects were to fully resume.
Although the shutdown lasted eight days and resulted in significant losses, it was at least restored in time.
Their project was delayed by a day or two, but if they speed things up, it can be delivered on time.
The name Yao Zheng has now been etched into their minds.
Gao Baoliang wasn't going to let him off so easily, so he specially invited a friend named Sheng Ge, who was planning to start a construction company, to dinner.
During the meal, he told him about Yao Zheng's situation, and then mysteriously added at the end:
"You know, his son has such a serious illness, it must cost a lot of money. Even if he's rich, it'll empty his savings!"
He left things unsaid and started drinking.
But Sheng understood immediately, and the next day he took the supplements to the hospital to see Zhuangzhuang.
When the child is sick, Yao Zheng's defenses are not as strong.
Especially when he heard Sheng Ge say that he knew a professor at a certain hospital who was an expert in this field, he was immediately corrupted by this sugar-coated bullet.
Sheng Ge gave him 20,000 yuan to save his life and introduced a professor to come and conduct a joint consultation, which made Yao Zheng go to work happily.
After starting work, Sheng's company had a smooth start.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have the qualifications; he finds someone to act as his affiliation and doesn't charge a single affiliation fee.
What if we don't have enough staff? No problem, as long as the reports look good.
It doesn't matter if the safety measures are inadequate, as long as nothing goes wrong. He will notify you in advance when the inspection is scheduled.
Having connections in high places makes things easier. With such a powerful backer, Brother Sheng thrived in the industry. Whenever someone asked, he would say that Yao Zheng was his uncle.
Yao Zheng didn't care about any of that; he needed to maintain his dignity and couldn't afford to lose money.
Moreover, under the professor's careful care, Zhuangzhuang's health has indeed gradually recovered.
The more time and energy he invested in Zhuangzhuang, the more he cherished him.
Zhuangzhuang is his only son!
He wouldn't let Lin Tao, who had kicked Zhuangzhuang, get away with it; he wanted the police to investigate thoroughly.
......
Inside the KTV, the lights were colorful, and the dancing crowd moved about wildly.
Jiang Rou was pulled into a private room and sat down, where she was pressed for details about Lin Tao's whereabouts.
"Bosses, it's no use asking me. I don't know where he went either. That's just how he is; he disappears whenever he wants and then comes back again at any time."
She said lazily, smoking a cigarette.
Those bosses have run out of flour, but demand from their customers is booming. If this continues, the addicts are going to cause trouble.
"Boss Jiang, stop beating around the bush and just tell us the truth: where is Boss Pi?"
They were very persistent.
After being rejected by Jiang Rou several times, they exchanged a glance, and he offered Jiang Rou a cigarette.
"Alright then, we'll come back and ask again tomorrow."
Jiang Rou watched their departing figures, then lit the new cigarette she had just received, along with the one she already had in her mouth.
He lit it, put it in his mouth, and muttered to himself with a disdainful expression:
"What if I come back tomorrow? I still don't know!"
She actually wished Lin Tao wasn't around. Without his protection, Ma Huijuan and her son would be at her mercy.
Before evening the next day, she started asking people for cigarettes.
But smoking just doesn't feel right.
When those bosses came over last night, they offered her cigarettes. She took a puff, and sure enough, she felt much better immediately.
"President Jiang, now you can tell us where President Pi is, right?" A group of men stood in front of her with ambiguous smiles.
Jiang Rou felt lightheaded and more comfortable than ever before. She casually told them that Lin Tao was in Guangzhou.
However, she had no idea where in Guangzhou it was.
Those people also had friends all over the world, so they began to investigate.
They also told Jiang Rou to notify them immediately if Pete returned.
Before Lin Tao returned, she went to find them, hoping to get her those cigarettes again.
"Mr. Jiang, our cigarettes aren't free; they cost twenty yuan a stick." A fat man with big ears held up two fingers.
Jiang Rou didn't care about anything else anymore. Her body felt like it was being gnawed by a million worms. She would give him not just twenty, but two hundred yuan.
That day, Jiang Rou went home for dinner. Hong Jie noticed that she was not in a good condition. She was smoking and not eating. Her body, which had been fattening up, was getting thinner again.
"Rou Rou, I heard that there's a kind of white flour that's become popular lately. It's addictive, just like the opium that brought down the Qing Dynasty. You mustn't touch that stuff!"
After she finished speaking, she gave Lu Ming a detailed instruction:
"You absolutely mustn't touch it either. Once you get that stuff, your life is ruined!"
Lu Ming is currently only interested in gambling; he has never smoked that stuff.
However, he discovered that Jiang Rou was already addicted.
When Sister Hong left, he said to Jiang Rou:
"Sis, can you give me another five hundred yuan?"
