Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

  Lin Shuyue has become really famous. As soon as the Tianxia program crew finished speaking, Lou Fengqin received a lots of calls.

  They were all relatives that she hadn't contacted for 800 years. Lou Fengqin would say a few words to those with whom she had a better relationship. After all, her little daughter had made progress, and she was proud of it.

  But there are also people who speak not so nicely, such as the person who called now. Lou Fengqin rolled her eyes as soon as she saw who was calling her phone. In the past, she would not answer this call, but today she was in a good mood, so she answered the call.

  Immediately, someone spoke loudly, as if they were arguing: "Hey, Fengqin, was the person being talked about in the TV show just now our Ah Yue?"

  "Yes." Lou Fengqin asked her daughter and Zeng Xiaoyi to continue eating, and she leaned back on the wooden sofa, with the smile on her face faded a little.

  "Fengqin, our Ah Yue is so amazing. I've said since she was little that Ah Yue is a promising child, and it's true! Fengqin, I really envy you, Ah Xing has found a good son-in-law, who is in front of you every day, and is no different from a live-in son-in-law."

  Lou Fengqin didn't say anything, and the other end continued to chatter: "Ah Yue is so promising. My mother praised her when she was watching TV today. As soon as the show ended, she went out to brag to the villagers. Fengqin, you have really come to a happy ending after suffering so much."

  Lou Fengqin raised her eyebrows and followed the voice on the other end of the phone: "That's right, my children are all excellent. How are your second and third children? Where do they work? How much do they earn a month? Sister-in-law, your three sons are enjoying a better life, right?"

  The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be choked and hung up after a few words.

  Lin Shuyue also knew who was calling.

  She was the original owner's aunt, Li Chunqiu. After marrying into Linjia Village, she gave birth to three sons for the old Lin family, and was particularly well-respected in the old Lin family. Especially after Lou Fengqin gave birth to two daughters in a row, she was so proud of herself that she almost rose to the sky.

  Even though the two families had separated long ago, it couldn't stop her from showing off in front of Lou Fengqin.

  The old couple of the Lin family also praised their three grandsons to the sky, and they never looked down on Lin Shuxing and the original owner. If it weren't for Lou Fengqin's insistence, both sisters would probably be named Zhaodi and Pandi.

  Lin Jianxin cheated on her, and Lou Fengqin's initial disturbance directly humiliated the old couple of the Lin family. When Lin Shuyang got lost later, the old couple of the Lin family took the lead in saying outside that this was God's retribution for Lou Fengqin.

  It was her retribution. She was a woman, but she was so stubborn. If a man abandoned her, who wouldn't swallow their anger? Who wouldn't just divorce and take their daughter away? Only Lou Fengqin was special!

  Not only did she go directly to the police station to accuse Lin Jianxin of adultery, she also called her mother's family to take over all the land and houses allocated to Lin Jianxin. The old couple of the Lin family had no chance to get involved!

  Later, Lou Fengqin sold the house and land, which was a big blow to the old couple. From that day on, they stopped having any contact with the original owner's family.

  Sometimes when they met them on the street, they would just walk past the original owner's family without even looking at them.

  But all these changes started three years ago. The eldest daughter of Li Chunqiu's family was getting married. The bride price was too much, and Li Chunqiu's family couldn't afford it, so they decided to marry Lin Shuxing.

  Lou Fengqin happened to be at home at that time, and she beat Li Chunqiu's family out with a broom. Lin Shuxing was not a pushover either, and she went back to their hometown and made a scene in front of everyone there.

  The two families had lost contact again, and now suddenly someone called to praise Lin Shuyue. It was hard not to think of the proverb "The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken."

  After Lou Fengqin hung up the phone, she squinted her eyes. After a while, she asked Lin Shuyue, "Did your father look for you these two days?"

  "No." Lin Shuyue stacked the bowl of rice on Lou Fengqin's bowl. Zeng Xiaoyi was very perceptive and immediately took the bowl and chopsticks outside and placed them in the basin.

  Lou Fengqin said to Lin Shuyue: "It's very unusual for your aunt to call today. She is not the kind of person who would praise other people's children. In her heart, her three sons are the emperor's sons! They are so precious! I'm afraid she has nothing good to say!"

  Lou Fengqin told Lin Shuyue: "If your father comes to you, no matter what he asks you to do, you must agree to it and see what he really wants to do."

  Lin Shuyue nodded: "Okay."

  Lin Shuyue remembered what Lou Fengqin said when Lin Jianxin came over last time, so she asked, "Mom, last time he said he remembered what happened when Ah Yang disappeared, what did he remember?"

  Lou Fengqin shook her head: "He didn't remember anything. He just wanted to use Ah Yang's matter as an excuse to come to our house. Did he think I don't know his tricks?"

  "He saw that I hadn't looked for someone new for so many years, so he thought I still had him in my heart."

  Lin Shuyue's expression was indescribable. She was too naive, she thought Lin Jianxin really remembered something, but this turned out to be an excuse?

  And he used his son who had been abducted for many years as an excuse to get close to his ex-wife. Isn't this man too shameless?

  "Why are these men so confident?" Lin Jianxin's behavior is not much different from those people in the forum.

  Lou Fengqin no longer wanted to talk about Lin Jianxin. She felt sick just thinking about him.

  At this time, her cell phone rang again. Lou Fengqin picked up the phone and smiled: "Lao Bai, why did you call me suddenly? Is there something wrong? Or do you have any clues about someone's child?"

  Lou Fengqin got up from the sofa and walked into the room while listening to the phone call.

  Lin Shuyue started thinking behind her.

  The sisters of the original owner had all seen the Old Bai mentioned by Lou Fengqin.

  He was from Yangcheng, good-looking and tall, and a retired soldier. He was the one who organized the search team for Lou Fengqin and her friends. He also planned where to go every year.

  Lou Fengqin joined his family search team ten years ago. Over the past ten years, about twenty families have found their children.

  Lou Fengqin was very convinced by him. Last year, he even came to the Lin family for a New Year's Eve dinner.

  Lou Fengqin's face was full of disgust when she just mentioned Lin Jianxin, but when this old Bai called her, she instantly smiled and her voice became several shades softer.

  Lin Shuyue always felt that there were peach blossoms blooming behind her.

  So she got up and walked to the yard to wash dishes with Zeng Xiaoyi, and asked her by the way: "Xiaoyi, during this time at home, have you seen that guy named Lao Bai calling my mother a lot?"

  Lou Fengqin didn't have her meals provided at the construction site where she worked, so she had to come back to eat every day.

  Zeng Xiaoyi glanced at Lou Fengqin's room and said, "They call each other every day. I also heard when they talked that he would come here to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival."

  Lin Shuyue thought back to Lou Fengqin's past behavior, and she felt that this time she was already in love with him. Otherwise, with Lou Fengqin's personality, no man with ulterior motives towards her would be able to get within five meters of her.

  "Does my sister know?"

  "Sister Ah Xing knows. Sister Ah Xing also said that she would ask Brother Zhengjun to roast the duck when the time comes." Roasting duck is troublesome. Luo Zhengjun has only made it a few times in these years. They have to buy it outside when they want to eat it.

  When Lin Shuyue heard Zeng Xiaoyi's words, she knew that Lin Shuxing had no objection to Lou Fengqin finding another partner.

  Lin Shuyue had no objection. In her previous life, she was not bothered if her father look for a new partner, and in this life, she would never care about Lou Fengqin's decision if she wants to look for a new one. As long as it was good for Lou Fengqin, she had no objection.

  Compared to Lin Jianxin, Lao Bai is much more reliable!

  Lin Shuyue began to care about Zeng Xiaoyi. She had been busy with Zheng Zhongfu's affairs recently and hadn't chatted with Zeng Xiaoyi for a long time.

  "Have your parents come to look for you?" Calculating the time, Zeng Xiaoyi has been away for more than a month. Lin Shuyue felt that her parents should come out to look for her.

  Zeng Xiaoyi's smile faded. She put the bowl that Lin Shuyue had washed the first time into a clean basin. "My mother went to find Ah Hao. She told Ah Hao that I need to go home quickly because my family has arranged a match for me. The matchmaker is also from their wholesale market. There are two shops in their family."

  "He is 28 years old this year. He had a wife before, but they divorced. He saw me at the stall before and liked me. But I was in school before, so he was embarrassed to tell me. Now I am not studying anymore, and I graduated from an internet addiction school. He doesn't despise me and is willing to give my mother a dowry of 30,000 yuan."

  With the exposure of Internet addiction schools in various places, the fact that girls were violated in them has become known to everyone. Even if the insiders in Pengcheng kept their mouths shut about the matter, they could not stop others from speculating.

  Ah Hao told Lin Shuyue that a curious person had asked her about this matter.

  "My mother told me not to be ungrateful." Zeng Xiaoyi didn't like to go out recently. But Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong would come to see her from time to time.

  Ah Hao told her everything about her mother's words without missing anything when she came to look for him. Zeng Xiaoyi didn't have any expectations of her parents, so she didn't feel sad when she heard this.

  But she still had a lot to tell Lin Shuyue: "She thought I didn't know. The man she was talking about loved beating his wife. His previous wife couldn't stand his beatings and divorced him. He also has two daughters. He is not good to his two daughters. If his daughter says something wrong, he will slap them. His oldest daughter is only seven years old."

  Lin Shuyue frowned: "Tell Ah Hao not to tell her where you live."

  Zeng Xiaoyi is not yet an adult, she is only seventeen years old, why would she marry someone! She should study hard at this age. Lin Shuxing told Lin Shuyue that she was going to sponsor Zeng Xiaoyi to go to high school after the Chinese New Year.

  Lin Shuyue decided to share the expenses with Lin Shuxing, half for each sister.

  "I know." After a pause, Zeng Xiaoyi said, "Sister Yue, do you really think it's not a woman's fault that she was hurt by those men?"

  "Of course! How could it be a woman's fault!" That night, Lin Shuyue talked a lot with Zeng Xiaoyi. The smile on Zeng Xiaoyi's face became more and more genuine.

  Zeng Xiaoyi slept particularly well that night.

  The next day, Lin Shuyue's report was published in the newspaper as usual. At the same time, her report also appeared on the desk of Wang Ruiying, the chairperson of the Women's Federation of Pengcheng City. She had been reading the report over and over for more than ten minutes.

  Not only that, she also looked up all the reports Lin Shuyue had sent out in the past. After a long time, she made a phone call.

  Lin Shuyue had no idea about this.

  Her entire attention is now focused on the "Internet Addiction School Case" that is about to go to trial.

  The trial of this case was held in the afternoon. It was still an open trial, and this time, there were many more people watching than last time.

  In addition to the media, many students and their parents, there are also many people from all walks of life who are paying attention to this matter.

  The trial of this case took much longer than the Suishan case.

  Teenagers and young girls walked into the witness stand one after another and revealed the beast forms of Xiao Changxin and others in detail in front of the public once again.

  The last person to take the stage was the parent of the teenager who died on the electric shock bed in the Internet addiction school.

  They recounted in detail how Xiao Changxin came to their home to recruit students, the promises he made to them, and how he threatened them and gave them money to silence them after the child died.

  After four hours of trial, Xiao Changxin, the main culprit, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and deprived of his political rights for life for the crimes of kidnapping, imprisonment, illegal medical practice, abuse, tax evasion, illegal school operation, bribery, and multiple crimes. The facts were clear and the evidence was sufficient. He was sentenced to death for intentional homicide, which was executed immediately and deprived of his political rights for life.

  His four main lackey instructors were sentenced to twenty years in prison.

  Other faculty and staff members in the Internet addiction treatment school also spent varying years in prison.

  Before the verdict was announced, Xiao Changxin made his final statement in court, in which he did not think he was wrong.

  He felt that although his purpose in running this Internet addiction school was to make money and he did not treat the students well and his methods were too radical, he also helped many Internet-addicted teenagers get back on the right track. He felt that he also had a contribution.

  He even firmly believed that Internet addiction was a mental illness, and made a very stupid statement: "Since you are sick, why would you give up treatment?"

  This sentence not only ignited the anger of those who appeared in court to testify, but also ignited the anger of those who came to listen.

  When they were taken away by the bailiffs, one of them opened his bag, took out rotten fruit from it, and threw it directly at Xiao Changxin and others.

  Xiao Changxin was hit directly on the face by the rotten fruit, and his glasses were even crooked.

  The media personnel present at the scene captured this scene.

  Ah Hao, Zhou Bingrong, Zeng Xiaoyi and others were all waiting outside the door. When Lin Shuyue came out, they all bowed to her in unison.

  Lin Shuyue smiled at them, then treated them to an ice cream, chatted with them for a long time, exchanged contact information with them, and promised to interact with them more often in the future.

  Back at the newspaper office, Li Weisheng is back.

  Lin Shuyue had not seen him during this period, and only now did she know that he had also made a secret visit to a black factory.

  And the evidence brought out was very sufficient.

  When Lin Shuyue found out, she instantly showed him respect.

  When she did the undercover by herself, she rely on the help of the system, and Li Weisheng just took a few undercover cameras and went, suffered so much, and was beaten so many times, but he still brought out the evidence.

  Lin Shuyue really hopes that there are more people like Li Weisheng, because there are too many sufferings in this world, and one person cannot reveal them all.

  She needs more companions.

  Li Weisheng, who had become much darker, thinner, and had injuries on his body, couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Shuyue's admiring eyes.

  He had been holding his breath since Lin Shuyue came back from her secret visit to the Internet addiction school. One day while strolling on the street, he remembered the black factory his friend had talked about.

  Working 18 or 19 hours a day, the monthly salary is only a mere 100 or 200 yuan. Not only are they not well fed, but they are also beaten. However, there are very few reports of such illegal factories in the world.

  So Li Weisheng decided to go on a secret visit. After confirming with Wang Mingzheng, he went with the latest model of secret camera he had purchased.

  He was gone for half a month, and in that half a month, he suffered more than he had in the past twenty years combined. He had grown up in a well-off family, but for the first time he experienced what it was like to not have enough to eat and to be beaten. What made him most miserable was that he could do nothing to help those who were persecuted except being a recorder.

  That feeling of powerlessness made Li Weisheng miserable. Whenever he was about to give up, he would think of Lin Shuyue.

  Internet addiction school talks about the evil behavior of those people, which is even more cruel than that in the black factory. How did Lin Shuyue endure it? Thinking of this, Li Weisheng felt that he was full of strength!

  There is no reason why he can't do what Lin Shuyue can do!

  When he called the police and the leader of the illegal factory was taken away by the police, Li Weisheng felt relieved.

  He did not choose to go home, but returned to the newspaper office to meet Lin Shuyue.

  He walked up to Lin Shuyue and said, "Lin Shuyue, if you can do it, I can do it too!"

  Lin Shuyue was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Weisheng's original intention of doing the undercover investigation was to compare himself with her. But no matter what his original intention was, his undercover investigation helped many people.

  She suddenly smiled and said, "You are great."

  Li Weisheng laughed out loud because of Lin Shuyue's compliment. He said, "I can be even better, Lin Shuyue. One day, I will surpass you and become the best investigative reporter."

  "Okay, I'll wait for this day to come."

  Because of Li Weisheng's words, Lin Shuyue was in a very good mood.

  But her good mood was mostly gone when she saw Lin Jianxin downstairs after getting off work.

  Lin Jianxin was very happy when he saw Lin Shuyue. He walked towards Lin Shuyue with a smile on his face and said, "Ah Yue, are you busy tonight? Let's have dinner together."

  Lin Shuyue didn't want to have this kind of meal with Lin Jianxin, but she thought of what Lou Fengqin said, so she said, "Then I'll call my mother. She's waiting for me to eat."

  "Okay, okay, go ahead and call her." Lin Jianxin seemed particularly easy to talk to.

  After Lin Shuyue called Lou Fengqin, she and Lin Jianxin walked to his car. His car was a black four-wheel drive, very new, and the interior was very luxurious.

  As soon as he got in the car, he couldn't help but say, "I bought this car last year. It cost me 400,000 yuan in total!"

  As Lin Jianxin spoke, he looked at Lin Shuyue's expression through the car's rearview mirror.

  Lin Shuyue doesn't have high material requirements, but she had several wealthy friends in her previous life. What luxury cars has she not ridden? Why would she be tempted by a 400,000 yuan car made in 2004?

  She fastened her seatbelt and sneered, "Not bad indeed. It seems that your abandonment of your wife and children was well rewarded."

  Lin Shuyue's words were so heartbreaking, so heartbreaking that Lin Jianxin's boastful expression froze on his face.

  Lin Shuyue looked at Lin Jianxin leisurely, expecting him to refute her, scold her, and then she could get out of the car.

  But she didn't expect Lin Jianxin to be so patient and return to normal so quickly.

  He said, "Ah Yue, there were many reasons why your mother and I separated. I did not abandon you three siblings, and I often visited you. It's just that your mother is stubborn and your aunt has a bad temper, so it was very difficult for me to be caught in the middle."

  "For so many years, Dad was absent from you and your sister's growth. I apologize to you for that. Now Dad is old, and he deeply regrets what he did in the past."

  The smile on Lin Jianxin's face disappeared and his tone became very heavy.

  Lin Shuyue sighed and didn't respond. Instead, she looked at the street scene outside.

  The sky was dark this evening, with dark clouds gathering in the sky. Lin Shuyue estimated that it would rain heavily tonight.

  Lin Jianxin glanced at Lin Shuyue, and seeing that she was unmoved, he continued, "Dad really wants to compensate both of you and your sister. I bought two houses in Dongfang Community, one for your sister and one for you."

  Dongfang Community is located in the city center of Pinghu District. The community has a good environment, good terrain, and good house layout. Correspondingly, the house prices are also very attractive.

  Lin Jianxin was so generous that Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows, thinking that Lin Jianxin had big plans this time!

  She became interested. She wanted to hear what this scumbag father Lin Jianxin had in mind!

  "Does your wife agree to buy us a house?"

  When Lin Jianxin heard this, he thought Lin Shuyue was moved, and a smile appeared on his face again. He said, "Who cares if she agrees or not. Ah Yue, your father is no longer the same person as before. In the past, I lived by her mood, but now I don't need to do that anymore."

  Lin Jianxin, the Phoenix man, made Lin Shuyue sigh in her heart.

  So you were with her before because you wanted her money. Now that you have almost swallowed up all of her property and have grown strong, you want to kick her family away and fly away on your own?

  Lin Shuyue really wanted to post a message on a certain forum in the future. She believed that within a few minutes, Lin Jianxin would be scolded so much that he would turn over several pages!

  "Oh, you are so great now." Lin Shuyue said casually, but Lin Jianxin took it as a compliment.

  On the way to the restaurant, he kept talking, all about the hardships he had endured in Zhang Mei's home over the years, and how much he missed her and her sister.

  He's so noisy.

  Just as Lin Shuyue was becoming more and more impatient, they finally arrived at their dinner destination.

  This is a high-end restaurant. The entire building is lit. The lights are turned on before it gets dark, and the warm yellow light strips raise the restaurant's class.

  Two waiters in tuxedos were standing at the door of the restaurant. When they saw Lin Shuyue and Lin Jianxin walk in, they opened the glass door in unison.

  A cool air mixed with fragrance blew towards me.

  Lin Jianxin said to the waitress who came over in a very pretentious manner: "The one who has reserved a table, my last name is Lin."

  "Mr. Lin, please come inside." The waitress made a standard gesture of invitation towards the inside. Lin Jianxin nodded reservedly and followed her.

  After they sat down at the table, the waitress went to take the order, and then Lin Jianxin said to Lin Shuyue: "This is a French restaurant and it's difficult to reserve a seat. All their ingredients are airlifted in from France."

  Lin Shuyue doesn't like Western food. She thinks the ingredients airlifted from France are not as fresh as those she buys at the market.

  She also lost her patience and was really tired of listening to Lin Jianxin's bragging. She felt that all the way here, the bulls must have been flying all over the sky.

  She leaned back in her chair with a cold face and said to Lin Jianxin: "My mother is waiting for me at home. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want to talk to me about."

  As Lin Shuyue was talking, she remembered that Lin Jianxin had mentioned that there was a clue about Lin Shuyang, so she asked, "Last time you told my mom that you had a clue about how Ah Yang was kidnapped. Tell me about it first."

  [ Ding ~~~ Trigger the keyword 'kidnapped', time-limited task: Find the kidnapped brother, time limit: 12 months. ]

  [ Ding ~~~ The good and evil radar has been upgraded, and the radiation range has increased to 200 meters. You can also check your personal detailed good and evil values. ]

  The good and evil radar turned on automatically, and then Lin Shuyue's gaze fell on Lin Jianxin opposite her.

  The good and evil radar shows that Lin Jianxin's good and evil value is as high as 60%.
