Chapter 205 You Yongsheng's Children Can't Be Hit
"Good! With you saying that, I'm relieved!" Wang Shunzheng watched Lin Baozhu's retreating figure disappear at the stairwell, his tense nerves involuntarily relaxing. With her and Qin Haifeng's help, the grain station theft case would be solved quickly.
After pushing the empty cart out of the police station compound, Lin Baozhu turned into a quiet, deserted alley. With a thought, she threw the cart back into her spatial storage, and then her family's old bicycle appeared in her hand.
She stepped onto the bike, pushed off with her foot, and the bike shot forward...
The wheels rolled over the silent streets, heading towards the village of Da Ge Ba, shrouded in night...
*Lin Family Courtyard*
The lights were on, and shadows moved about. The captured thug was bound hand and foot to a chair, and Old Yan had carefully bandaged the gruesome wound on his leg. Although he was still "unconscious" due to excessive blood loss, his breathing was relatively steady.
"Alas, money can corrupt people's hearts. I knew it. The Revolutionary Committee giving money to Baozhu's mother in front of the whole village would cause trouble sooner or later!"
Someone chimed in, "Aren't you curious how these scoundrels knew that Baozhu's mother received so much compensation?"
Aunt Guihua, munching on sunflower seeds, immediately raised her voice upon hearing this: "It must have been those people from the Revolutionary Committee who spread the word! Could it be someone from our village who snitched? The only ones in our village who have a grudge against the Lin family are the Bi family, right? Uh..."
She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, spat fiercely in the direction of the Bi family, and continued, "Hey! Their whole family went to the hospital today! Just look at the way the Bi and Lin families are fighting to the death..."
Think about it. Bi Yuntao colluded with bandits to harm Baozhu's mother and Baozhu. Luckily, they kidnapped the wrong people, otherwise it would have been Baozhu and her mother who were violated. Later, Zhao Xiaoyu reported that the Lin family was illegally possessing weapons... Every single one of these incidents was pushing the Lin family to their doom!
She glanced around at the crowd and, seeing their thoughtful expressions, continued, "Who knows, maybe these thugs are collaborating with Bi Yuntao to make money."
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding loudly in the crowd!
"Are they determined to destroy the Lin family?!"
"She's only been released a few days ago, and Zhao Xiaoyu has already made false accusations, attracting armed members of the Revolutionary Committee! If Baozhu hadn't come back in time, who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued!"
"Captain! With the Bi family, this cancer, in our village, no one can live in peace! I really don't understand why you can tolerate this family of troublemakers running rampant in our village?!"
Hearing the cacophony of accusations, the brigade leader felt a bitter taste in his mouth but couldn't express it.
He desperately wanted to kick the family out, but his superiors wouldn't allow it! He could only put on a stern face and feign seriousness: "Alright, alright! Say less! Whether the Bi family did it or not is still undetermined! The priority now is to get this person to the hospital to save his life, and then hand him over to the police station! Gou Dan, go hitch up the oxcart!"
Although the scoundrel deserved to die, Lin Erlang privately confided in him—this man was still of great use, perhaps even bringing greater fame and benefits to the village. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with the life or death of this scoundrel.
Just then, the sound of a bicycle chain approached from afar.
Lin Erlang's ears twitched slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips: "It's Baozhu who's back. Let's hear what she has to say first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Baozhu rode her bicycle into the courtyard. She was clearly taken aback when she saw so many people in the courtyard.
As she parked the car, she asked, "Mom, why are there so many people at home?"
“I answered correctly, but I was worried that those thugs might come back, so I gathered the villagers together.”
As she spoke, she pulled Lin Baozhu over and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was covered in dust, she felt both distressed and worried: "Baozhu! Did you fall? Or did you run into those thugs? Are you hurt?"
Lin Baozhu looked down and saw that her clothes were indeed covered in mud and dust, obviously from digging up the boxes. She waved her hand and said casually, "It was dark and the road was difficult to walk on. I accidentally fell into the ditch next to me. It's nothing! It just got a little dirty and looked scary."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to the man tied to the chair: "Captain, I've given this man some medicine; he won't die. Just send him directly to the police station tomorrow morning. Oh, by the way..."
She raised her voice and continued, "That gang leader, Fu Huayun, along with more than a dozen of his henchmen, were all wiped out by the police! In a few days, it will be announced throughout the county!"
"What?! They've all been arrested?!" The captain's eyes widened in shock, his serious expression instantly replaced by wild joy. "Great! Great! I was just worried that sending this thief in would lead to retaliation... Now I can finally relax completely!!"
"Captain, please have the village deliver this person tomorrow."
"Don't worry! I've got it covered!" The captain patted his chest and assured him, then turned around and ordered, "Alright, it's getting late, everyone can go home! Gou Dan, Da Zhu, Man Cang! You three take turns keeping a close eye on him, don't let him escape! As soon as it's light, hitch up the car and take him to the police station!"
"Understood, Captain!"
After the noisy crowd dispersed, the courtyard quieted down. Lin Erlang walked to his sister's side, his gaze behind his glasses carrying a gentle smile, yet also concealing a barely perceptible worry:
"Little sister, will the police... search Fu Huayun's house? What if they find something... don't let it fall on your head."
Lin Baozhu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and coughed lightly, "Second Brother, if they want to investigate, let them investigate to their heart's content."
The items are all in her space. As long as she denies it, who can trace it back to her?
Lin Erlang gave her a deep look, then didn't press her for more information. He simply raised his hand and gently patted her head, his voice low and solemn: "When you're doing things on your own, be sure to pay attention to safety. Always be careful."
No matter how many secrets his little sister harbored that he couldn't fathom, as long as she was his little sister, he would do everything in his power to protect her and cover everything up for her.
"Don't worry, Second Brother."
Lin Baozhu gave him a reassuring smile: "I know what I'm doing."
*County Hospital Ward*
Holding You Yongsheng's lab report, the doctor frowned deeply and said sternly to Bi Yuntao, whose face was grim, "Your mother has a low platelet count. In this situation, if we forcibly terminate the pregnancy (abortion), the surgical wound is very likely to experience uncontrollable massive bleeding, or even intracranial hemorrhage! The risk is too great!"
Bi Yuntao's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he practically spat out the words through clenched teeth: "So you mean... she has to give birth to this child?!"
"Yes! Not only must the baby be born, but the pregnancy must also be closely monitored and actively treated to raise the platelet count to a relatively safe level! Even during the final delivery, an extremely rigorous evaluation must be conducted to choose the safest method!"
The doctor's tone left no room for argument.
Bi Yuntao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging frustration in his heart. His family of four was barely scraping by on Zhao Xiaoyu's meager salary. And if you added his mother's frequent medical expenses… that little bit of money was simply a drop in the ocean!
His father had disappeared, and he had been laid off from the machine factory... Without any income, how would this whole family survive?! His steps were heavy, as if filled with lead, as he slowly made his way to the ward.
