Chapter 146 Returning to Danbei
Yan Feng looked at the little girl, whose brows were still furrowed even in her sleep, and said, "Let's ask her before we decide. If needed, I'll make arrangements."
She's a very opinionated girl, and making direct arrangements might upset her.
Lin Xi slept all day and woke up feeling refreshed, having already changed into clean clothes.
Yan Lingling naturally helped her change it. When she saw the hole in the skirt, she pondered for a long time, and in the end, without telling anyone, she secretly disposed of the skirt.
Those were clearly bullet marks, but the little girl was completely unharmed.
When Yan Feng saw that she had woken up, he took the initiative to tell her about the progress of the case. Wan Ling had been arrested and confessed to her crimes. The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee was immediately dismissed and placed under investigation.
"Where are the children?"
"The parents have been notified, and the police station will provide free psychological counseling."
At this point, Yan Feng hesitated, then said, "Xiao Xi, why don't you talk to a psychologist too?"
After all, she didn't look too good right now; her eyes had lost their previous playfulness and liveliness, becoming deep and serene.
Lin Xi shook her head, "No need, I'll adjust myself."
I'm just not used to it. I can't accept that this world has such a dirty side, and I can't accept that I killed someone.
Before yesterday, she was just a little girl who had never even killed a chicken. But when she saw those tools, all reason vanished instantly, and she killed the first person without hesitation. Warm blood splattered on her face, but she felt nothing.
It wasn't disgusting or scary; it felt like I'd just killed a rat.
Upon seeing the children, her destructive urges reached their peak; she wanted nothing more than to tear those people to pieces. So she waited for them to take the bait, to arrive, and then bound them together, making them experience the despair, helplessness, and pain that the children had gone through...
It wasn't until Yan Feng and Wu Zheng arrived and she saw their tender and affectionate gazes that her rationality returned.
Noticing the blood and fingers all over the floor, I froze for a moment. Did I do all of this myself?
But she didn't regret it; they shouldn't have gone to jail so easily.
On the way back, Xiao Yi kept comforting her, and her tense mind relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep.
However, my dreams are filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
When she woke up, she asked herself, if she could do it all over again, would she do it again? The answer was yes.
It wasn't that she was heartless; she wanted to seek justice for the children who had suffered so much and died, and to make those people truly punished.
Seeing Yan Feng's furrowed brows and worried expression, she forced a smile and said, "I'm really fine, let's go back."
She misses her family very much and desperately needs to draw strength from them.
"it is good."
Despite being very busy, Ma Zhaoqian and his entourage still escorted her to the train station. Before she boarded the train, everyone raised their hands in salute as a token of their sincerest gratitude.
Seeing everyone's red eyes and the slightly somber atmosphere, Lin Xi shouted, "Don't forget my bonus!"
Ma Zhaoqian immediately held back the tears in his eyes. He had been so worried about her, yet he said, "Don't worry! There will be plenty!"
On the way back, Lin Xi gradually returned to normal, grumbling about how she hadn't eaten well for the past two days and that she wanted to eat her grandma's chicken stew with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, and pork bones when she got back...
Yan Feng and Wu Zheng were slightly relieved. They were really afraid that the girl would be traumatized. After all, just thinking about that scene made their hair stand on end.
When Lin Guiying received the call and learned that her granddaughter was coming back, she had already begun preparations.
Lin Dayuan and Lin Guojun were also waiting at home. This was their child's first time traveling far from home, and it would be a lie to say they weren't worried.
I haven't eaten or slept well for several days.
When Lin Xi arrived home, a large table of food had already been laid out. The warm, homey atmosphere immediately soothed all her fatigue. Indeed, home is the best place to heal.
When Lin Guiying asked about the case, Lin Xi only talked about how she lured the human traffickers out, emphasizing how delicious the roast chicken at the train station was, how sweet the ice cream was, and how the steamed bun shop guy got so angry that he lost his slippers.
Yan Feng and Wu Zheng tacitly avoided mentioning what happened later.
The Lin family was delighted to hear this; they hadn't expected the case to be so easy, and the child even seemed to have a great time.
As they ate, everyone frequently glanced at Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan, who were wolfing down their food.
Lin Xi couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, Dad, why are you so hungry?"
Lin Guojun wiped his mouth. "It's not that I'm hungry, it's that I'm craving it. Your grandma cooks instant noodles for every meal, and we just can't stand it. If you had come back a few days later, my son and I would have suffered from malnutrition."
Lin Dayuan nodded, "Our chicks will all lose ten pounds."
Lin Guiying tossed a chicken leg over, saying, "Shut up, you should be grateful you have instant noodles to eat."
"okay."
The meal was filled with laughter and joy, and Wu Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "This is what normal life is like."
Yan Feng joked, "What? Thinking about settling down?"
"You know what, I've actually been thinking about that. The Lin family has such a great atmosphere!"
Yan Feng's eyes lit up, and he came up with a "good idea".
What do you think of Lingling?
One is his cousin, and the other is his best brother. If they could be together, that would be perfect. He felt at ease with both of them.
Wu Zheng shook his head repeatedly, "Don't play matchmaker. Your cousin is nice, but she's not right for me."
"Then what do you like?"
In the past, Wu Zheng would just give a few perfunctory replies, but this time he thought for a long time and said seriously, "Looks and family background are not important. The important thing is that you can't be too dramatic and cry your eyes out. You have to be independent, self-reliant, and understand and support my work."
You know the nature of our jobs; we don't have time to comfort our girlfriends. They keep saying things like, "You don't like me anymore," or "You don't love me anymore." I can't be chasing a criminal while simultaneously calling them and saying, "I really love you."
Of course, I'm not looking for a nanny. She doesn't necessarily have to be virtuous and gentle, cooking meals for me every day and waiting for me at home. She can have her own career and dreams.
We're all busy with our own things most of the time, but we cook and chat together in our free time.
Oh, right, we need to have similar values. Being too petty won't do. It's best if you're lively, cheerful, generous, and straightforward.
She's a bit athletic and can play with me sometimes..."
Yan Feng frowned more and more as he listened. "If you look for someone according to this standard, you'll probably end up alone. Anyway, I've never met a girl like that before."
Wu Zheng sighed, "Oh well, if I can't find someone, I'll just grow old alone. Better to have none than to settle for less."
Yan Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Good luck, brother. If all else fails, I'll have my son take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
"Get lost! Go home by yourself, I'm not seeing you off!"
"You can't be that serious!"
"I have something to do."
Yan Feng curled his lip, "Your parents are both in Beijing, and you're a bachelor, what could possibly happen to you?"
Wu Zheng said fiercely, "I made an appointment to play ball with that kid Gu Zheng!"
Yan Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You two haven't decided a winner yet? Are you even capable? After all these years of training, you can't beat a little kid?"
"Hehe, I'm sure I'll beat him this time!"
