Chapter 243 You Are Afraid, I Am Not
The transfer point for raw materials is dozens of kilometers away from Jinji Town, and another 20 to 30 kilometers away from the actual mining area.
The mine is actually a prison.
Most of the people who mine are prisoners serving sentences or undergoing reform.
Supervised by stationed police officers and veterans.
Most of the families of these supervisors live in Jinji Town. Therefore, this place has a larger population than other towns and is also much more lively and prosperous.
Xiaomizi and his gang worked with another group to mine for a few days, stole some small gold grains and then ran away.
They traveled all the way from the neighboring province to this province and then to Ze County, and then roamed around to commit crimes in the surrounding towns.
Climbing walls, picking locks, stealing, and charging tolls on the road.
There is no peace wherever you go.
Today they plan to have a good meal and then continue to ride the train to the next coastal province or city.
A dozen young men sat at two tables and ordered a lot of food.
When we were almost done eating, a dozen people rushed in to the entrance of the state-owned restaurant and quickly closed the door.
The leader shouted, "Everyone, don't move!"
The sudden change left all the diners stunned on the spot. Lin Yiyi was also extremely panicked. She looked at the closed door of the restaurant with her heart pounding.
Is she encountering a robbery crime scene?
But shouldn’t we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to do this?
Seeing that something was wrong, Xiaomizi and his gang wanted to escape, but as the only exit had been blocked, they could only pretend nothing had happened and sit quietly in their seats.
Be prepared to wait for an opportunity and then run away during the chaos.
It was lunch time and all the tables in the restaurant were occupied. Lin Yiyi estimated that there were about seventy to eighty people sitting at ten tables.
The leader took out his weapon and drawing paper, compared the portraits on it, glanced at all the people in the hall, winked at the person behind him, and made two gestures.
Then people from several tables stood up and rushed towards the two tables in the corner, pressing them down on the tables without waiting for them to react.
Anyone who wanted to run was hit on the legs with a stick.
Two of them rushed forward and pinned one down, knocking him to the ground.
There was a loud clatter of broken dishes all over the floor and shouts and curses were heard everywhere.
The leader made another gesture, and all the captured people were beaten with clubs and taken away like dead dogs.
The movement was clean and neat, without any unnecessary noise.
You can tell at first glance that they are well-trained professionals.
Lin Yiyi couldn't figure out who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. She was terrified and sat in a daze, drinking a mouthful of noodle soup that had already gone cold to calm herself.
Looking at the empty restaurant where she was the only one left, she was completely stunned.
After a while.
My thoughts came back to my senses.
Looking at the tables, Lin Yiyi realized it belatedly.
Except for the group of people who were knocked unconscious and taken away, all the people disguised as guests ate noodles, including her.
If she eats fried food today, will she also be beaten?
At this time, the restaurant's waiter came out from the kitchen, as if he had known about the situation, and started to clean up the mess in an orderly manner.
Including Zhao Sheng’s so-called acquaintances.
"Comrade Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't scare you, did I? Brother Zhao suddenly asked me for help, and I happened to run into an incident of arresting a vagrant criminal.
I didn't tell the truth because I wanted to keep it a secret.
But don't worry, except for you, everyone else is a police officer, you are very safe."
After hearing what he said, Lin Yiyi relaxed and forced a smile to show her understanding.
"I'm fine. I'm really sorry to bother you. I'm embarrassed for you to say that."
Others were cooperating with the police to arrest someone, and she suddenly showed up and almost ruined their plans.
Seeing that she hadn't finished her noodles, Ma Ze kindly said, "I'll make you another bowl of noodles. Brother Zhao should be here soon."
Lin Yiyi smiled and refused: "No, I'm full, you go about your business, don't worry about me."
Seeing that she really didn't want to eat, Ma Ze didn't insist and went back to the kitchen.
…
Counting the seconds on the watch, waiting.
The messy restaurant became clean and tidy again.
Lin Yiyi sat in the corner with her chin propped up, watching the people coming and going outside the gate, secretly counting their number.
Seeing a familiar figure appear at the door, Lin Yiyi smiled.
"You're here."
Zhao Sheng walked quickly to her, his face serious and his tone anxious, "You must have waited for a long time. Something happened and delayed me for a while. Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
The man looked the woman in front of him up and down carefully, and was relieved to see that she had no scratches on her skin.
Lin Yiyi smiled and said gently: "I have eaten, you probably haven't eaten yet, I don't know if there is any food at this time."
Zhao Sheng saw that she looked normal and was not sure if she was scared.
The thought of driving into town and hearing the news of the accident at the state-owned restaurant made him feel horrified and heartbroken.
The man lowered his voice and said softly, "I'm going to say hello to my friends. You wait here for me. I'll drive you back in a while."
After giving some instructions, he quickly went to the kitchen.
Ma Zecai tidied up the workbench and looked at Zhao Sheng, who was standing at the door with a sullen face and not saying anything. He guessed that he must have heard what happened at noon.
I quickly explained: “Brother Zhao, I’m sorry, no one expected this to happen, because we have to keep it secret.
That’s why I didn’t mention it when you came this morning. I’m really sorry for scaring my sister-in-law.”
Zhao Sheng's expression was unclear, his eyes were dark, he looked at him for a long time before he pursed his lips and smiled: "Look at what you said, thank you, brother.
Hurry up and make me a bowl of noodles. I have to eat before I rush back to the city."
"Okay, just wait outside, it will be over in a moment."
Seeing that he was not estranged from him, and was chatting and laughing as usual without any anger, Ma Ze felt relieved.
He doesn't want to offend this person.
The hot water and soup base are ready in the kitchen, and a bowl of noodles can be prepared in just a few minutes.
After finishing his noodles, Zhao Sheng greeted Ma Ze with a smile, then took Lin Yiyi out of the state-owned restaurant.
On the way back, Zhao Sheng noticed that Lin Yiyi looked listless and not as lively and cheerful as before.
I knew she must be scared.
He had not expected to encounter such a thing. Thinking that she was still pregnant, his heart suddenly tightened. Looking at her sleeping profile, he slowed down his driving speed.
The journey was smooth all the way to Ze County.
After entering the factory, the goods are delivered.
Zhao Sheng was carrying a cloth bag on his back, holding a large bucket in his left hand, and a net bag of pears in his right hand.
He returned to the family compound, protecting Lin Yiyi who was beside him.
Unlock the door and enter.
Put down the heavy objects in your hands and take off your backpack.
Zhao Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, and directly hugged her into his arms, gently stroking her back, and said distressedly: "You must have been scared by what happened at noon. It's all my fault. I didn't make good arrangements for you and left you there alone."
"…I'm fine, don't think too much, I'm just a little sleepy."
Lin Yiyi felt a little hot and struggled, but failed to break free.
How can you blame him for this?
She was just frightened at the time, but after she understood the truth, she didn't take it to heart.
I have to say, she really has the potential to be a gossip reporter, and she can always get into the limelight.
Zhao Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at her frail appearance. Her lips were not as moist as usual, and he couldn't stop feeling heartbroken.
She is timid and in poor health and cannot be alone. How could she not be scared when encountering such a criminal case?
Even if you say it's okay, you may not know what you really think.
The man's voice became even deeper, and he coaxed gently, "Then you sleep a little longer. I won't go out in the afternoon and stay at home with you."
“…”
Lin Yiyi glanced at him, twitched her lips and said nothing more.
He poured some lukewarm water from the kettle, washed his hands and face briefly, then sat down at the round table and peeled a pear with a knife.
Just as he started, the man took over.
Pears cannot be cut into pieces and eaten, as this has a bad omen.
Zhao Sheng peeled a whole pear and fed it to Lin Yiyi.
Seeing that she had an appetite to eat, I felt a lot more at ease.
The two were inseparable for the whole afternoon. Zhao Sheng stayed by her side, paying attention to the woman's movements from time to time.
Seeing how worried he was, Lin Yiyi repeatedly told him that she was fine, but it was of no use.
Follow closely, never leave for a moment.
