Chapter 177 Patience is exhausted
Lin Qi briefly recounted what happened today, but she skipped the part where she tortured the "witness".
“So the person Director Qiu is targeting is not you, but the previous director of the Revolutionary Committee, the county party secretary, or even someone in a higher position. You are just a breakthrough point and the most critical step. Once you are breached, countless people will be dug out later.” Lao Yi said in a deep voice. He, Lao Fu and Lao Bi had long guessed that Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao were doing some underground business, but they did not expect that they would make such a big business.
It actually involves so many high-ranking people.
"Yeah. You can say that. So, I'm not very worried. I have never shown up in front of anyone, so even if there are any mistakes, someone will help me clean them up. Now Director Qiu has no evidence, so he can only start with me. As long as I don't give in, he can't do anything to me." After figuring out the key, Lin Qi was not so anxious anymore.
"Eat first." Xu Hexiao put down the last dish and served soup and rice to Lin Qi. He had already hated Director Qiu for starving his Qiqi, and he would definitely avenge him.
Not only Lin Qi didn't eat, Xu Hexiao, Lao Yi and the other two didn't eat either. The five of them wolfed down the food and finished the whole table in no time.
"Stay home tonight?" Xu Hexiao asked.
Lin Qi hummed, "I'll go back tomorrow morning."
Lao Yi and the other two were stunned. Is it okay to do this? Will it give the Revolutionary Committee a handle?
"Don't worry, I will go back without anyone noticing." Lin Qi still has this confidence.
Hearing this, Lao Yi and the other two felt relieved. "Then let's go back first. Come find us when you need us."
After Lao Yi and the other two left, Lin Qi first went to help the two deer grow some grass and used her supernatural powers to pacify them.
"Do you want to take a bath? I'll run you a bath." Xu Hexiao asked.
"I washed it." Running back and forth, washing it more cleanly so that I can accompany the children to sleep.
"Put the outer clothes and pants aside separately, and put the inner clothes directly into the bamboo basket. I will wash them for you tomorrow." Xu Hexiao instructed.
Lin Qi liked to hear Xu Hexiao's concern for her in every detail. She felt warm in her heart and smiled sweetly, "Okay, I know."
After taking a shower, Lin Qi went back to accompany the child to sleep. When Xu Hexiao came back from taking a shower, she was already asleep.
Xu Hexiao stroked her slightly wrinkled forehead until it was smoothed, then he took her into his arms, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I can't protect you."
Xu Hexiao's voice was very soft, but Lin Qi seemed to sense it. She rubbed against his arms, found a comfortable position, and fell into deep sleep again.
At night, the entire Revolutionary Committee building was dark and the door was locked. No one cared about Lin Qi who was locked in the room. Even if they remembered such a person, no one dared to ask.
Everyone in the Revolutionary Committee realized that the new director was determined to accuse Lin Qi of speculation and profiteering, and even if there was no evidence, he would fabricate it.
That Lin Qi is in such a bad situation.
"Your sister has been arrested." Brother Tao went to Yu Borui's home and whispered.
Yu Borui's expression changed, "Are you talking about Qiqi?"
Apart from Qiqi, he has no other sisters.
"Yes, it's her." Brother Tao said, and then briefly recounted what happened today.
Yu Borui also knew that the director of the Revolutionary Committee had been replaced. Everyone was in the same system, and any disturbance would attract attention.
"But don't worry too much. Director Qiu has no evidence. The witness he found was also useless. When he came in front of Lin Qi, he couldn't say a word. He was scared and finally ran away. Boss, could it be that your sister has some special abilities?" Brother Tao looked directly into Yu Borui's eyes, not missing any subtle reaction on the other's face.
Yu Borui shook his head, "I haven't heard her say that."
"You must have heard about what happened to her last year, right? Why don't you express your opinion?" Brother Tao asked again.
Yu Borui smiled bitterly, "I wanted to ask, but after I heard about this incident, she never came to the town again. I'm also curious whether there really is a piece of land that can produce sweet potatoes weighing more than ten kilograms every day. Did you find out today?"
Brother Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Director Qiu has no way to deal with her."
Yu Borui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Brother Tao left, Yu Borui gathered the family together and told them about Lin Qi.
"My identity is sensitive, so I cannot come forward directly. I would like to ask you, Dad, to spread this news. It would be best if everyone in Yao County knows about it. Those who have received Lin Qi's favor and have a conscience will definitely not let it go." Yu Borui said.
"Okay, tomorrow I will ask my colleagues in various teams to spread this news." Yu Mingbo said.
"Don't mention the word speculation, just say that a lot of sweet potatoes grew in Lin Qi's fields last year. It was determined to be false propaganda, and it was determined that Lin Qi was spreading feudal superstition." Only in this way was Lin Qi's arrest linked to those people.
Lin Qi let so many sweet potatoes grow in the field for them. Those people shouldn't just stand by and watch, right?
Lin Qi opened her eyes before dawn the next day. She woke up early enough, but Xu Hexiao woke up even earlier than her. His figure was no longer on the bed, and the place where he slept was cold.
Lin Qi first transferred supernatural powers to the children one by one, then gently got up from the bed and put on yesterday's dirty clothes.
She walked towards the kitchen, where Xu Hexiao was cooking breakfast.
"You were the one taking care of the children last night, and you got up so early this morning. Are you sleepy?" Lin Qi asked.
"I'm not sleepy. I can sleep with the children during the day, no problem." Xu Hexiao scooped hot water for her while talking, "Wash with hot water."
Lin Qi had breakfast at home, and fed some grass to the two deer before going out.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Qi waved at Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry about home, I will take good care of the children."
"Yes, I know. Tell the kids that I'll be back in the evening." Lin Qi felt deeply reluctant.
"Okay. I'll tell them." He wanted to rush over and hug her to stop her from leaving, but he couldn't.
Lin Qi climbed over the wall and entered the Revolutionary Committee compound, used plant roots to open the lock, entered the door, and then locked it again.
By the time she entered the room and locked the door, it was only half past six.
Lin Qi simply lay down on the table and fell asleep again.
After 7:30, the Revolutionary Committee gradually became lively.
"How's the person in the room? He was starved for a day and locked up for a night. Is he okay?"
"Looking at such a delicate girl, it's really hard to say."
"Is she really speculating?"
"I don't know whether she was involved in speculation or not, but I heard rumors that she had rescued twelve students trapped in the mountains. Those students said they would come to the Revolutionary Committee today to ask for her release."
"You want people? Why? Are they planning to form the Brain Revolutionary Committee?"
"Those students are fearless. What is there for them to be afraid of? Be careful when the time comes. Don't try to stop them too seriously, or you might hurt yourself. In my opinion, today it might be just those students, but the day after tomorrow it might not be the case. Last year, tens of thousands of people survived thanks to Lin Qi's sweet potatoes."
"You mean there will be more people coming to the Revolutionary Committee to cause trouble?"
"Ahem, I didn't say that."
"......"
Lin Qi slept until nine in the morning and woke up when the door was opened from the outside.
Seeing her ruddy face and lazy appearance, Director Qiu's blood immediately rushed to his head. He turned around and asked the people around him, "Was she really locked up all night?"
"When we came in the morning, the door and the lock were intact, with no signs of having been opened." Brother Tao said. He looked at Lin Qi, who was so moist and energetic, even better than them. No wonder Director Qiu was so angry.
"Director Qiu didn't give me food, not even a glass of water. Are you planning to starve me to death and then leave me without evidence?" Lin Qi sneered. She jumped off the table and walked towards Director Qiu step by step. Accustomed to fighting and killing in the apocalypse, she suddenly felt annoyed by this dragging way of dealing with things.
She didn't know what crime Director Qiu was going to accuse her of today, and he found a few witnesses for her. Her patience was exhausted.
Instead of spending this time, she might as well go home and spend time with her children.
Lin Qi walked towards Director Qiu step by step, looking at the pair of clear black and white eyes. Director Qiu felt a little panicked for some reason, and his back felt hairy, as if he was stared at by a venomous snake, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
"You haven't answered me yet. Are you planning to starve me to death so that I can't prove anything?" Lin Qi asked again.
Director Qiu, who was being questioned, was furious and no longer cared about being afraid. He opened his mouth to curse, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not speak. He was completely speechless.
Director Qiu covered his throat and used all his strength. The veins on his neck bulged, and his face and neck turned red, but there was still no sound.
Suddenly, he thought of the witness from yesterday, who also lost his voice in front of Lin Qi——
So, it was Lin Qi’s doing!
Director Qiu looked horrified and pointed at Lin Qi. Seeing that his finger was about to poke her eyes, Lin Qi took a step back. However, Director Qiu was angry and anxious and rushed towards Lin Qi.
Director Qiu missed his attack, and the next second, he curled up and rolled on the ground, in exactly the same state as the witness yesterday.
However, the witness was still able to make a sound, but Director Qiu couldn't even let out a wail.
Lin Qi just watched him rolling around like that, her eyes acting as if she was looking at an ant.
Brother Tao on the side looked at Director Qiu, then at Lin Qi, terrified. At this moment, he was extremely sure of one thing, whether it was yesterday's witness or today's Director Qiu, all of this was Lin Qi's doing.
Brother Tao was extremely grateful that he had not offended Lin Qi, otherwise he would be one of the people rolling on the ground now.
But what did she do to Director Qiu?
How is this done?
Brother Tao's gaze was too scorching. Lin Qi turned her head to look at him and said in a cold voice, "Take care of yourself and pretend you didn't see anything."
Brother Tao nodded slowly and said, "It's been five minutes. Will anyone get killed?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill him. That would dirty my hands." Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "It's just that today, I don't want to see him or talk to him."
Brother Tao didn't understand what Lin Qi meant until Director Qiu fainted from the pain and suffered from fecal and urinary incontinence.
"Send him to the hospital." Lin Qi said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid of finding out something?" Brother Tao was puzzled.
"Nothing can be found. He is perfectly healthy. Besides, this room stinks. Give me another room."
