Although the people at the dinner party didn't know the cause of the incident, they had no friendship with Meng Yiyi and Jiang Ling. They just got introduced to these two women because they each had their own abilities, so they gathered together for fun. Now that they saw there was trouble, it was natural for them to leave.
Hu Kun's target also shifted. His eyes were attracted by Jiang Lin and he could no longer look at Jiang Ling. He felt that he had never seen such a mature and charming woman.
He relied on his relatives' power and influence, and he was considered a top figure, so he dared to quietly take on tasks. He took on tasks for money, sex, and connections. As long as those who helped him could be used, or even used to make his fortune, he would help them. This was also taught by his superiors, so that he could keep the first hurdle.
Throughout history, most officials have had to take sides and form circles, and the consequences for those who are not flexible are generally not good.
Therefore, while he was helping people solve problems, he was also winning over capable people.
But he couldn't care about Jiang Ling and Bian Haitao at the moment, because Jiang Lin had a relationship with them. If he directly made Bian Haitao's situation public, everyone present would be a shrewd person and this matter would not be accomplished.
No matter how capable Bian Haitao is, as long as the investigation of him becomes public, the capital cannot help him. Otherwise, when the Discipline Inspection Commission or the Anti-Corruption Bureau investigates, they will not be able to explain themselves clearly.
Hu Kun chased after Jiang Lin and said with a smile: "Lady, may I ask..."
"My wife is the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Province X. Are you sure you want to get close to me like a gangster?" Jiang Lin didn't even look at him, sneered and turned away.
Hu Kunsan's chin trembled, he opened his mouth but said nothing, and finally left silently.
Jiang Ling finally washed her eyes and endured the severe pain and hurried after him, "Brother Hu, you've drunk too much, I'll help you."
Hu Kun: "Forget it, I can't help her." His fat body became agile now, and he ran away. He didn't expect Jiang Lin to have a background, so he had to go back and make arrangements to avoid being implicated.
Jiang Ling watched them all disperse, and she stamped her feet in anger, tears streaming down her face because of the pain. She returned to the box and said to Meng Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi..."
"Get out, you bitch who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!" Meng Yiyi's face turned black.
Jiang Ling pressed her handkerchief to her eyes. "How can it be my business? I have nothing to do with it..."
"Why did you take Hu Kun to see her? Are you bored and think that dying is too slow? I have been avoiding her all these years. Do you think you are really a beautiful painter and are so inflated?" Meng Yiyi was really angry to death.
Only then did Jiang Ling realize that she had gotten into trouble.
Although she went to college and studied fine arts with the help of Meng Yiyi and Bian Haitao, the things in her bones could not be changed.
She was a little confused. "Then, what should we do? Who should we look for?"
Meng Yiyi said coldly: "Wait for death. There is no other way."
She had to make plans for herself. If Bian Haitao was really investigated, she had to hide as soon as possible. There were many places to hide at this time. As long as she was careful, she would not be found.
Jiang Ling was still a little confused about the situation. When she saw Meng Yiyi's resolute look, she realized that she might really be finished.
But she didn't think she had done anything wrong. She didn't kill anyone and she didn't break the law. What did she have to be afraid of?
She is a child from a poor family and a suffering woman! The government should take care of her instead of being harsh to her.
Her original name was Jiang Aidi. She was born in a remote and backward mountain village. The men in the village were lazy and beat their wives, the women were miserable, and there was a preference for boys over girls. She was despised by her grandmother and mother since she was a child. The only purpose of raising her was to make money or to find wives for her brothers and sisters.
Because she was pretty, her family let her study in the hope that she could marry a city guy and help her brother and sister. But when she was taking the technical secondary school entrance exam, she fell ill and her brother was jealous of her and bullied her, which led to her poor performance and she failed the exam.
If you fail the exam, you will have to marry an old man in exchange for money to help your brother get a wife, or you will be married to a fool in exchange for marriage, and you may even be taken to the city to sell your body for money.
But God has a vision. Meng Yiyi and Bian Haitao found her, brought her out of the countryside, and gave her a brand new life.
This is a beautiful and glorious life that she must not lose!
"Sister Yiyi, please don't ignore me." Jiang Ling was so anxious that she quickly grabbed her arm, not caring about the pain in her eyes.
Meng Yiyi stared at her coldly, "You can only beg Jiang Lin for help. As long as she and Cheng Rushan don't give up, we will all be dead."
Meng Yiyi shook off her hand and left.
Jiang Ling stood in the box, the air was still filled with the rich aroma of Maotai and the sweet aroma of roast duck, the sweet aroma was getting fainter and fainter, just like her originally brilliant life, getting farther and farther away. She suddenly felt panic in her heart, just like when she failed to get into the technical secondary school, her brother's vicious gloating eyes, her grandmother's smirk at the pig, her mother...
No, no, she couldn't go back to the past, she couldn't bear it.
It’s all Jiang Lin!!!
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be so unlucky and wouldn't fall into this situation.
She robbed her of her life, robbed Cheng Rushan's favor, and now robbed her of her last chance.
Never allowed!
…
Although there was an incident with Hu Kun, it did not affect Jiang Lin and the others' dinner. Everyone was very happy while eating and chatting. They talked about ancient architectures of various countries, modern times, and ancient times. The topics were wide-ranging and professional. Several British people were surprised and impressed when they found that Jiang Lin could keep up with the conversation. How many books did she have to read? How many academic works did she have to study?
You can visit domestic buildings, but it is not so easy to visit foreign ones. There are not many translated books now. They think Jiang Lin is very impressive because he knows so much.
They even intended to write a book with Jiang Lin, and asked Jiang Lin to help translate their works into Chinese. They were also willing to translate Jiang Lin's works into English.
Everyone had a great conversation and became good friends.
Jiang Lin stayed in the capital for twenty days and decided to return to the provincial capital.
She originally wanted to book a train ticket, but Su Xingyun and another colleague named Xiao Chen were having a meeting nearby, so they ran to the capital to meet her, and then decided to drive back together.
They stayed in the capital for another two days and drove back to the provincial capital together early that morning.
Going south from the capital, the roads are all national roads at first, but when you are far away from the capital and before entering the provincial capital, there is a backward area. The roads are also dirt roads, not paved with asphalt, and even have ruts from trucks after rain, making them extremely difficult to drive on.
At this time, the farmlands on both sides were full of grown but unripe crops, sorghum, corn, and patches of green tents rising from the ground, rustling in the wind, as if something was hidden inside.
When we got to a certain place, the road was flooded. It was probably because the irrigation pipe burst and flooded the road. The wheels of the car slipped and slowly sank.
"Xiao Chen, stop first, we'll get off and push it." Jiang Lin was sitting in the back, Xiao Chen was driving in the front, and Su Xingyun was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xiao Chen: "Dean Jiang, how can I let you push the cart? You drive and I'll push it."
As he said that, he took the initiative to get out of the car and let Jiang Lin climb directly to the front without having to get down on the ground and step on the mud.
The road surface looked smooth, but it had actually been soaked, so the wheels sank and couldn't get up.
Jiang Lin climbed to the front and drove the car while Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen pushed the car.
It was noon and there were not many people on the road.
At this time, the common people were well fed, corn and sorghum were no longer scarce, and no one stole them, so naturally there was no need to look after Qing'er anymore.
Unable to find fellow villagers to help push the cart, they had to do it themselves.
Xiao Chen and Su Xingyun took off their leather shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and went out barefoot to push the cart, while Jiang Lin turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator over and over again, trying to find the right angle to get the car out of the mud pit.
I tried several times but failed.
Jiang Lin: "We can only go to the roadside and break off some corn stalks to pave the road. That should work if we use it as a cushion under the wheels."
A pound of corn costs about ten cents, so they just need to leave a few dollars for them.
Xiao Chen and Su Xingyun went to fold corn stalks barefoot, while Jiang Lin waited in the car. They first carried two bundles of corn stalks and spread them on the road in front, and then continued to fold them and put them under the wheels.
Suddenly there was a roar from the cornfield, "Thief! Corn thief!"
Jiang Lin quickly turned her head to look over and heard Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen explain that the wheels were stuck in the mud and they bought some corn stalks to pad them.
Those people were hidden in the green gauze tent, and Jiang Lin could not see clearly. At this time, a man came out of the cornfield and looked at her.
Jiang Lin was on the road. There were three-meter-wide drainage ditches on both sides. There was shallow water and silt at the bottom of the ditch. Across the ditch were farmlands on both sides.
The man jumped straight into the ditch and waded through the muddy water at the bottom of the ditch towards Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin immediately became alert and shouted, "Come back soon!"
Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen also felt that something was wrong. These men did not look like simple farmers. They all had fierce looks and looked at them with sneaky eyes, as if they were measuring whether they were fat pigs.
The two were about to retreat when they were blocked by four men.
"Brothers, don't let them get away. Take the food thieves to the police station!"
Su Xingyun was even more certain that they were not farmers, nor were they trying to cause trouble for a few corns; they were being robbed.
In broad daylight, I actually encountered a robber!
Su Xingyun's mind exploded, and he warned loudly: "We are government officials, don't do anything stupid! Leave now, no one knows you!"
Several people immediately burst into laughter. One man even took out a torn handkerchief and covered his face with it as if for fun. "Like this?"
He waved his hand, and four people surrounded Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen.
Su Xingyun was extremely anxious. He never expected that he would be robbed in broad daylight. These people were so brave that it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary country hooligans. They were obviously well prepared.
"Jiang Lin!" He reminded Jiang Lin loudly, but was hit by a stick.
Su Xingyun roared with red eyes, "Xiao Chen, drag them."
They absolutely could not be allowed to attack the car together, otherwise Jiang Lin would be finished. He was not sure that two people could defeat four armed men, but he still had to fight.
I have to drag them along even if it costs my life!
The other side had sticks and many people, and Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen were no match for them at all. They were hit by several sticks in an instant. But they refused to let go and fought with them at close range. If they couldn't beat them, they would hug and bite them, biting whatever they caught.
The man who was bitten cried out in pain and swung the stick to hit harder.
Su Xingyun snatched the stick from one person, and he and Xiao Chen tripped them up out of two against four.
The man who had walked towards Jiang Lin before had already walked onto the road and was standing next to the car. He was a strong man, staring at Jiang Lin in the car fiercely, and gestured for her to get out.
Of course Jiang Lin didn’t get out of the car!
The man threatened: "If you don't get off the car, you will suffer."
He raised the stick in his hand. The stick was black and looked like wood, but it was actually a steel bar painted black with a handle wrapped with rags, making it a weapon.
He stared at Jiang Lin with a look as cold as a wolf. He pointed at her with the stick, signaling her to get out of the car quickly, or he would smash the car window.
Jiang Lin kept encouraging herself, stay calm, don't be afraid!
The car they were driving was an imported Santana sedan, and the glass was original laminated glass, which was not so easy to break. Lu Hang and his friends got into trouble because he was driving a second-hand car, and the glass had been replaced. It was not the original glass, but a cheap imitation, so it was shattered by a stone while driving at high speed, causing glass fragments to fly and injure him.
She pulled out her work ID and shouted, “We are government officials.”
The man didn't care, instead his eyes became more vicious, "I'm going to hit you!"
He raised his arm and smashed the side glass of the cab with the iron rod with a "bang". The glass immediately cracked but did not break.
The man seemed not to have expected that the car's glass was so strong. He snorted and raised his hand to continue.
Jiang Lin gestured and continued to say loudly, "Can I speak?"
Because the car windows were closed, the sound was not very clear, so she used gestures.
The man put down the iron rod, bent down slightly and looked down at her with a fierce look in his eyes.
Jiang Lin slapped her work ID on the window glass and said, "I'm a building designer and I have connections with local leaders. If you have any grievances, I can help you get justice."
This man hates the government so much, probably because his family suffered unfair treatment, or he was bullied by local cadres, so he hates all government officials.
At that time, family planning was strictly enforced. People in the city actively cooperated because of their work, but people in the countryside were unwilling to do so. In particular, those who favored boys over girls insisted on having sons, which inevitably led to various conflicts.
Robbing houses, stealing cows, stealing food, and taking away abortions and sterilizations also happen. It is possible that people will go astray if they hold a grudge against them.
The man stared at Jiang Lin. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her skin was white, and through the car window he could see her long, black eyelashes, which were as clear and fluffy as a child's eyes. She looked at him with her black and white eyes, saying that she wanted to redress his injustice and was willing to help him.
He suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. Of course, he was not here to seek justice, he came here for them!
Kill her and make her disappear from this world, this was the order he received.
There are many ways to disappear, and he had a feeling that he wanted to make this woman his own, to hide her and make her belong to him.
He could tell his superiors that she was dead and then hide her somewhere. He was sure he could hide her well.
Ever since the reform and opening up, when he started working as a thug and robber, he has never failed and he will definitely not fail this time.
Jiang Lin saw that his face was gloomy and seemed to be thinking about something important, so she quietly unlocked the car door.
When the man looked up at her again, she saw the lust that a man has for a woman in his eyes. Jiang Lin's anger grew even stronger, and she used all her strength to slam the car door hard on the man's head with a "bang".
Jiang Lin is very strong. When she first came through, she was able to climb up to the roof and lay tiles. She is as strong as Shang Zonghui in work.
The man was tall and had to lower his head to talk to Jiang Lin, so the car door hit him on the temple, giving him a hard blow.
The man felt dizzy and tried to raise his hand, but the dizziness was too strong, making his movements slow and inaccurate.
Then he watched the woman rush out quickly, her movements were incredibly fast, and then he watched her raise her hand and snort at him twice. Then his eyes suddenly widened, and he felt a sharp pain, and a huge electric current suddenly spread from his waist throughout his body.
The man immediately began to tremble and rolled his eyes. The electric shock lasted for a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime to him.
"Ugh..." He couldn't even scream and fell to the ground with a thud, twitching.
After he fell to the ground, his legs were just under the wheel. Jiang Lin quickly got into the car, turned off the stun gun and started the car quickly.
With a "boom", the accelerator was stepped on to the maximum, the wheels rolled over the man's legs and feet, and he climbed out of the mud pit in a flash, splashing mud and water and rushing forward.
"Ah——" The man who was originally electrocuted was awakened by the pain. He screamed but could not even roll over. He could only twitch in the mud.
The four men who were fighting with Su Xingyun and Xiao Chen on the other side of the ditch were stunned by the sudden change on the road. For a moment, they didn't know what to do and just stood there blankly.
Su Xingyun came to his senses and rushed out instantly, pulling Xiao Chen. Although they were hit by several sticks and their heads were still bleeding, they were not unconscious.
The energy that erupted from being on the verge of despair was enormous, allowing them to run ahead of several men and rush onto the road.
Jiang Lin had already opened the car door and let them jump in. Two men were running fast and chasing after them. One of them jumped on Su Xingyun and tried to get in the car.
Jiang Lin controlled the steering wheel with one hand and used the other hand to hold the electric baton and slammed it hard into his eyes, "Get the hell out of here!"
The man cried out in pain, and was kicked out by Su Xingyun again.
Xiao Chen, who was at the back, also opened the car door and climbed halfway up, but was grabbed by the back by another man. The two of them dragged each other and fought in the back.
Jiang Lin handed the stun gun to Su Xingyun, and he reached out and hit the man on the head with force and accuracy, using all his strength to seek revenge.
The man felt the pain and let go, but Xiao Chen kicked him out with both feet.
Jiang Lin stepped on the accelerator and drove away. She saw from the rearview mirror that they were all seriously injured and bleeding from their heads, so she asked them to bandage each other quickly.
"Let's go to the county town ahead to call the police. We must catch these bandits!" Jiang Lin was not afraid at all before, but now he was shaking with fear.
She felt that these people were coming for them. They were just highway robbers. I heard that government officials basically didn't dare to touch them. No highway robbers dared to go against government agencies. They robbed long-distance drivers or individuals doing business. They wouldn't be stupid enough to rob government officials.
There must be some hidden y deal going on.
Su Xingyun was still in the mood to joke after surviving the disaster. He smiled at her and said, "Jiang Lin, you are really tough. Even men are no match for you." He knew that Jiang Lin was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. Not only was she good at studying and working, but he also admired her explosiveness and wit when facing danger.
Jiang Lin: "Fortunately, you guys have stun guns in your car."
Su Xingyun: "Sun Qinghui gave it to us, I..." Before he could finish his words, his head tilted and he fainted on the seat.
Jiang Lin was so scared that she quickly slowed down the car to feel his breath, luckily, he was not dead.
"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"
Xiao Chen was also trembling and bleeding, "I, I'm going to faint..." He also fainted on the seat.
Jiang Lin: ...
She stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the county town ahead.
