Upon hearing the aunt's words, Lin Qing didn't have time to think and immediately ran towards Gu Nanxun's house.
"This educated youth, Lin, is really good to Xiao Gu."
"Who can argue with that!"
"Sigh, it's such a pity. Lin, the educated youth, was such a nice girl. How could she have fallen for Gu?"
"Isn't that right? No matter how good Xiao Gu is, he's still a cripple, isn't he?"
"Gu is lucky. Even though he's disabled, he can still find such a good partner."
"..."
"They're not even married yet, who knows what will happen in the future!" Hu Ziqiang muttered to himself, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth as he watched Lin Qing's retreating figure.
Hu Ziqiang was a simpleton in the village, always stealing chickens and dogs and doing nothing productive. His father died protecting the village's property. During a famine, thieves broke into the village. His father risked his life to hold them back, preventing the village's grain from being stolen. However, his father was stabbed to death by the thief. Because of this incident, everyone turned a blind eye to Hu Ziqiang.
"Nanxun, are you alright?"
Lin Qing's voice entered the room before anyone else did; only after the voice faded did Lin Qing push open the door and run inside.
"It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing Lin Qing's anxiety, Gu Nanxun quickly patted Lin Qing's arm to comfort her.
"Nanxun, where did they hit you? Let me see, are you hurt anywhere?"
Lin Qing looked anxious. She had heard that the three Gu brothers had injured Nan Xun.
"It's really nothing. They just kicked me. I'm not hurt at all. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."
"I'm really alright..."
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Nanxun was really alright; she had been terrified.
"Yeah, it's nothing. They just came to steal things. I called the police, and they should be at their house by now!"
"Yes, I went there. I just passed by, but I didn't look closely. When I heard you were injured, I rushed back."
"Qingqing, you don't think I'm being too heartless, do you?"
Gu Nanxun didn't think she had done anything wrong, but she was worried that Lin Qing would think she was heartless, since her little girl was quite kind.
“How could that be? Brother Nanxun, I think you did the right thing. They treated you like that, you don’t need to worry about them. Anyway, they’ve never considered you family.”
Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing said angrily. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Wasn't the Gu family just taking advantage of being his brother Nanxun's family? They were bullying him like this. His brother Nanxun had already severed ties with his family, yet they still came to bully him.
How long had her brother Nanxun been bullied by them while she wasn't here? Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but let tears well up in her eyes.
They met in an orphanage in their past life, and it was understandable that they didn't have any family. But Nanxun had family, yet he still ended up in an orphanage, which shows that he wasn't well-liked by his family.
In this life, she finally has a loving family. But Nanxun is still bullied by his family. How pitiful her Nanxun is…
"Why are you crying? Didn't I tell you I'm fine? Don't worry, they'll learn their lesson this time and won't dare to do it again."
Seeing Lin Qing's tears falling continuously, and even getting louder and louder, Gu Nanxun quickly comforted her.
"Waaah..."
Hearing Gu Nanxun's words of comfort, Lin Qing, who had been silently shedding tears, suddenly burst into tears.
Gu Nanxun was stunned. He hadn't expected that his words would make Lin Qing cry. He awkwardly wiped away Lin Qing's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell me I'll stand up for you. Don't cry, Qingqing, don't cry, baby..."
"Pfft..."
Seeing Gu Nanxun's anxious and flustered state, Lin Qing suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's okay, no one is bullying me. I'm just a little sentimental."
Lin Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly. She didn't know when she'd become such a crybaby. Oh well, she thought she'd forgotten, but she still felt a pang of resentment. Besides, Nan Xun had become like this because of her. Until his leg healed, he'd probably remain a thorn in her side forever. Every time Nan Xun suffered, she felt it was her fault. If it weren't for her, Nan Xun would probably still be a successful CEO in his future life, instead of suffering like this here.
That night, Lin Qing tossed and turned in bed, feeling angry no matter how she thought about what had happened during the day.
No, we can't let the Gu family get away with this. Why should they bully Brother Nanxun like this?
"Does the system have any date rape drugs?"
"Can't you log in to Taobao? Go buy it on Taobao!"
"Idiot, how could Taobao possibly sell date rape drugs!"
"..."
"I only connected to the purchase channel; I didn't see what was being sold inside."
The system said somewhat apologetically that it had made a mistake.
"What should I do, system? Where can I get some sleeping pills?!"
Lin Qing glanced at her gold coins; she only had 8,900. She had painstakingly saved up tens of thousands of gold coins during this period, but she had spent them all on upgrading her house scanner.
"Can't the host still sign in? You haven't signed in recently!"
"Can I get the drug just by signing in?"
Lin Qing asked doubtfully, "How can it be so easy? I can just sign in whatever I want right away? When did I become so lucky?"
"Why don't you try it and you'll see?"
"Check-in!"
After hearing the system's words, Lin Qing said with some doubt.
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for signing in with ten sticks of Bewitching Incense and one bottle of Antidote."
"I actually checked in! System, you're amazing!"
Lin Qing said excitedly, "How could I not know? The system must have paid for it out of its own pocket again."
Having obtained the item, Lin Qing immediately became excited. She looked around. Everyone was already asleep, so Lin Qing carefully got up, first taking an antidote, then lighting the sleeping incense with a lighter. After waiting a while, she extinguished the incense and went outside.
Using her memories from the day, Lin Qing arrived at Old Gu's house. She first put on gloves, then took out a ladder from her spatial storage, leaned it against the wall, carefully climbed up, put the ladder back in the courtyard, climbed down, and arrived at Old Gu's house.
"Old man, what should we do? Our son has been arrested, what are we going to do?"
Lin Qing pressed her ear to the room. Sure enough, Old Gu's family was still awake. She could hear Wang Dahua's faint sobbing.
"Why are you crying? Go to that brat's house tomorrow and cry. Make him release his brother. If he doesn't, make a scene at his house."
After recovering from the shock, Gu Changhe said bitterly that he had only just come to terms with the fact that the police had taken his son away that evening.
"Pah... You old bastard, you actually dare to try and harm Brother Nanxun... I'll teach you a lesson."
As she spoke, Lin Qing lit the incense and slipped it into the room through the crack in the door.
Lin Qing waited for a while, and when she saw that there was no sound in the room, she went in.
