On the old mountain road, dust flew up as soon as the car started.
Director Zhu disagreed with Qin Zhiya's approach and, before the two of them got in the car, he still advised:
"You are essentially snatching people away."
"They won't let this go."
Qin Zhiya asked in return: "Should we return the people to them?"
"Niu's parents are Erniu's guardians."
No talk of feelings, only of reason.
Even though he felt very sympathetic towards Erniu's situation, Director Zhu still insisted on the bottom line of law enforcement.
They have no right to let Erniu get married.
But Qin Zhiya and others had no right to take people away.
But since Xi Feng is here, Director Zhu can't force it.
"Please tell your dad that I'm okay. I'll send someone to monitor their movements. If anything happens, I'll call you immediately."
He winked at the young policeman beside him, and the latter ran happily to find the village chief of Xiagou Village.
Xi Feng's identity cannot be revealed, but it can be shrouded in mystery.
As long as it is revealed that he has a prominent background, even Director Zhu will not be able to suppress him, and the people in Xiagou Village will naturally think twice.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials.
The law is not applicable in the countryside, but they all have an inexplicable awe and fear of high-ranking officials.
"I will personally write a report to my superiors regarding the procedural issues."
Since Xi Feng dared to use his power to oppress others, he should be prepared to be punished.
One punishment can buy back Erniu's freedom, he thinks it is worth it!
Tao Man sat in the back row with her arms around Erniu. After Xi Feng said goodbye to Director Zhu, he sat in the front row with Qin Zhiya.
There were villagers gathered on both sides of the path.
The people of Xiagou Village were still watching closely, as if they would rush forward to snatch people away at any time.
The people in Shanggou slightly blocked the road to prevent them from suddenly attacking.
Finally, in the depressing atmosphere, Xi Feng's car drove away.
After leaving the old mountain valley, Erniu's heart finally let go of the worry in her heart. The tension that had been taut for a long time relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep in a moment.
"Boss Qin, let Erniu go home with me first?" Tao Man suggested softly.
Xi Feng and Qin Zhiya both showed up in front of the villagers today, and they might be visited by others later.
What's more, Xi Jun is at home. If I take him back rashly, many things will be difficult to say.
Qin Zhiya nodded in agreement and asked Xi Feng to send Tao Man and the other two home first before returning to the compound.
They stayed up all night and before they had time to rest, they were kicked into the living room by Xi Jun with a sullen face.
Bai Lan looked at the two of them worriedly.
Her eyes swept over Qin Zhiya, and she felt distressed when she saw the bruises under her eyes.
"Why are you so anxious? You can't even get enough sleep. It's really bad for your health."
"Mom will make you some soup to nourish you. Go to sleep quickly later."
Xi Jun snorted coldly, "Why are you sleeping? I think they are very energetic!"
He rarely got angry, especially to Qin Zhiya, and never said a harsh word to her.
It goes without saying that it was Director Zhu who contacted Xi Jun and informed him first.
Xi Jun's behavior clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with the two's behavior.
Xi Feng stepped forward first, "Dad, I was the one who took the child away. You don't know that Niu Shaoqiang's family is simply inhuman. How can parents push their children into the fire? I can't just watch a child being devoured without leaving anything behind!"
"You knew the place their parents were looking for was a den of wolves and tigers?"
"That girl said it..."
"What's the point of telling me?! Are there any witnesses? Any physical evidence? Xi Feng, you're a police officer. You need evidence for everything. But at the critical moment, you let your passion get the better of you!"
Xi Jun slammed the coffee table in frustration.
He felt something was wrong when the young couple left home in a hurry yesterday. When his old comrade called, he was anxious and running around at home.
This matter can be big or small.
To put it simply, the Niu family was afraid of power, so the matter was eventually left unresolved. After a while, they didn't dare to act rashly when they sent Erniu back to school.
To put it in a bigger picture, the Niu family would have to take Erniu back and file a complaint directly in Beijing, and Xi Feng would be finished.
Seeing that he had accomplished several major things in a row, how could Xi Jun not be angry when he knew that the Xi family would surely reach a higher level in the future?
Qin Zhiya used to work at a newspaper, so she had naturally witnessed many reports of denunciations, both large and small. She said with guilt, "Dad, I didn't think it through and brought Xi Feng with me..."
"He should have gone with you. The people in Laoshangou are very tough. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Xi Jun did not blame Qin Zhiya too much, but only scolded Xi Feng for not being clear-headed.
"Dad, I've scolded you enough. If that doesn't work, you can spank me a couple more times and then punish me later, make me write a self-criticism, demote me, whatever. The key is what are we going to do now?"
Xi Feng was still quite obedient and did not talk back at this time.
He said angrily, "Anyway, I won't send her back."
Xi Jun almost fainted from anger.
But he already understood the general situation, and to be honest, if he met the same person, he would definitely lend a helping hand.
Bai Lan also chimed in: "What's the point of just scolding the two kids? The most urgent thing is how to solve this problem. Think of a solution quickly."
"Otherwise, why don't we give some money to that family? They want to take her away just to get money for their son's marriage, right?"
"no."
Xi Jun and the other two rejected Bai Lan's proposal in unison.
If we agree to the Niu family's request, such incidents will only happen again and again in the future, and the foundation will face endless blackmail.
Xi Jun said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about anything now. Leave the girl to the care of the people in your station. No matter who asks, just say that we received a report and a call for support from the Laoshangou police."
"The reason the police were dispatched was that there was a fight between two villages and the child was a hostage."
In this case, it is reasonable for Xi Feng to rescue Erniu.
The next step is to make the Niu family give up this idea completely.
After all, Erniu cannot stay in the city for a long time. She has nowhere to go, and it is unrealistic to ask Tao Man and the institute to take care of her all the time.
Qin Zhiya decided to go to Yu You to discuss the matter, but before they could find a perfect solution, the Niu family members had already rushed to the city on a tractor.
They didn't go anywhere but went straight to the newspaper office.
Qin Zhiya's mobile phone also started ringing wildly. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard the urgent voice of her former colleague:
"Zhiya, the editor-in-chief heard rumors from the newspaper next door, saying that tomorrow's big event in the small town will make you look bad!"
"She asked me to ask you if you have offended anyone recently?"
Competitors are enemies, and newspapers are no exception.
Beijing is a very small city, and new things are no secret. If your company publishes something on mine, it's natural for me to do the same. In order to grab exclusive rights and business, it's common for us to smear each other.
Qin Zhiya didn't think of anything else, it must be Niu Shaoqiang's family.
Her face looked solemn and a little strange.
How did they get here so quickly?
How could she find her former nemesis so accurately?
The strongest competitor of Qin Zhiya’s former newspaper was a magazine called “Small Town Big Events”.
