Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 555 Something’s wrong
He did not say some things explicitly. As the son-in-law of Vice President Luo, he had probably seen much more information that was not strictly confidential than them. In his opinion, it was normal for Deputy Director Li to have such knowledge.

Moreover, he knew a secret that was not yet known to outsiders, that is, Deputy Director Li was the long-lost child of the Cheng family, a well-known Chinese family in the United States, and they have now recognized each other.

If you have such a biological family, then you will definitely know more about the economic operations of European and American countries than these people do.

He didn't say these words. People who do his job have to keep their mouths shut.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought about it that way." The female professor nodded as if she suddenly understood.

"Lao Gao, do you think what Deputy Director Li said can be realized?"

"I don't know. Only practice can bring true knowledge. No matter how much you talk, no matter how wonderful it is, if you don't try it, it will always be just talk. But the blueprint he drew is quite attractive."

After walking out of the restaurant, Li Yancheng held his daughter's hand and walked home.

Little Xiaoyu held her father's hand and skipped as she walked. From time to time, she raised her little head and told her father some interesting things that happened when she was playing with her friends.

Li Yancheng would respond to every word she said, often pretending to be exaggerated and saying "Isn't it? Wow, our Xiaoyu is really great."

Every time he praised her, the little girl would giggle non-stop, and she looked so proud.

The little girl's clear laughter attracted many passers-by to focus their attention on this delicate and pretty girl.

Suddenly, Li Yancheng frowned slightly. He sensed a hint of ill intention in the gazes directed at him.

He did not turn around to look for that gaze. Today was a holiday and there were many people on the road. Even if he turned around to look for it, he might not be able to find it, and he might even alert the enemy.

At this moment, the little girl who had been jumping and walking stopped, pulled her father's hand down with her little hand, and when he looked down, the little girl signaled her father to squat down.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his daughter like this, Li Yancheng stopped and squatted down.

"Dad, I feel like someone is staring at me. Um... I can't really explain it, but I just feel uncomfortable."

After he squatted down, the little girl hugged his neck and whispered in his ear.

Xiaoyu's super perception ability also allowed her to feel the malicious gaze.

The safety education she received since childhood took effect. Even though she felt the gaze that made her uncomfortable, she did not look around, but told her father quietly.

"Don't be afraid, Dad is here."

"Yeah, Dad is the best." Little Xiaoyu nodded and snuggled tightly in her father's arms.

Even his daughter felt it, which made Li Yancheng's heart tighten. He reached out to hug his daughter and picked her up when he stood up.

As he stood up, he calmly glanced in the direction behind him.

But there were too many pedestrians passing by on the road, so he couldn't see anything unusual at a glance. However, he could still clearly sense that the pair of malicious eyes were still staring at him.

Because there were children and so many ordinary people around, he didn't dare to make any particularly drastic reactions in such a complicated environment. God knew what the person who was staring at him was planning. It would be bad if he was carrying any weapons and hurt the people.

In this situation, he could only choose to walk slowly towards home with a smile on his face, looking the same as before.

"Laughter"

"dad"

"Lie on daddy's shoulder and look back to see if you can see anything. Use the method daddy taught you before. Don't stare directly at him. Use your peripheral vision to observe."

"I know dad."

Xiao Xiaoyu put one arm around Li Yancheng's neck and tilted her head on his other shoulder, as if she was sleeping. Her eyes were closed. When you got closer, you could see that her eyes were just squinting, her eyelids were still trembling slightly, and her eyeballs kept turning around as she paid attention to what was behind her.

Just when they were about to reach the north-south road in front of the alley and were about to turn, Xiao Xiaoyu, who had been lying on her father's shoulder, suddenly whispered.

"Dad, I saw two people across the street. They would often look over here. Every time they looked over here, I could feel very uncomfortable."

"Can you see what he looks like and how old he is?"

"Uh... one of them is tall and the other is short. I can't tell how old they are."

"Do you think they look younger or older than your godfather?"

"Almost the same as godfather."

They were middle-aged men around 40 years old, one tall and one short.

"Have you seen them before?"

"no"

"Can you see any features on their faces?"

"Uh..." Xiaoyu didn't dare let the two people opposite see that she was observing them, so she could only squint her eyes and look carefully.

After looking for a while she said, "Dad is a little far away, I can't see clearly."

Just then, Li Yancheng saw the general store at the corner and walked in directly with Xiaoyu in his arms.

As soon as I entered, I ran into an acquaintance.

"Hello, Director Li!"

"Xiao Jiu? No, I can't call you Xiao Jiu anymore. I should call you Jiu Fu."

The person Li Yancheng met was a younger brother under his old classmate, Xiaojiu, Zhang Jiufu. Now he can no longer be called a younger brother, as he is 30 years old and is already the father of three children.

Because he had made two meritorious reports, the Social Affairs Bureau arranged a job for him locally as a reward. Later, Zhu Yongyang made some efforts and transferred him to the Yangchao District Market Management Office. Now Xiaojiu is a cadre of some size.

"Hey, you should just call me Xiaojiu. You smoke."

Seeing that Li Yancheng could still recognize him, Xiaojiu smiled happily.

"Smoking? Okay, I'll smoke one for you."

When Li Yancheng saw the cigarette handed to him by Xiaojiu, his eyes lit up. After taking it, he followed him out of the store.

He went into the store to find an opportunity to observe the two people Xiaoyu mentioned. Now that he went out with Xiaojiu, he could observe them at the same time, and it would be more natural.

"Xiaoyu, Daddy will let you go. Just take a look at where those two people are and tell me what they are wearing."

After walking out of the store, Li Yancheng squatted down, put his daughter on the ground, and asked her to find the two people for him.

"I know dad."

Xiaojiu was slightly stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to turn his head to look in the direction of Xiaoyu's gaze, he was stopped by Li Yancheng.

"Xiaojiu, don't look back."

Hearing this, Xiaojiu stopped his neck which was about to turn.

"Director Li, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Not yet. Someone is following me. My daughter saw the person and I asked her to point him out to me. I'll tell you after I see him."

"Okay, just tell me what you need me to do, and don't be polite."

Li Yancheng nodded and was about to say something when Xiaoyu pulled his arm. "Dad, I saw those two people standing on the steps in front of the grocery store across the street. One of them was wearing green military pants and the other was carrying a yellow schoolbag."

Hearing his daughter's words, Li Yancheng said nothing. He just supported himself on his knees and looked in the direction of the grocery store as he stood up.

One glance was enough, and he had imprinted the appearance of the two men in his mind.

He was very sure that he didn't know these two people, but at the same time he was also very sure that his daughter was not mistaken about them. These two people were targeting him and had bad intentions.

He judged that the two men probably wanted to follow him and see where his home was, and had no intention of attacking him on the way.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xiaojiu who had been watching him and ordered: "Xiaojiu, go to the police station here to find the on-duty leader and tell him what I said. Ask him to bring a few people over. Remember to tell him that everyone should change into plain clothes and bring their stuff.

When you bring them here, don't come to my place, go directly to the grocery store across the street. You heard what my daughter said about the clothing characteristics, right? Let me add one more thing, the two of them are one tall and one short, the tall one is about 1.75 meters tall, and the short one is at most 1.65 meters tall, about 40 years old."

"Okay, Chief Li, I'll go right away, but where are you?"

"I'm fine here, go ahead and tell them to speed up."

"it is good"

Hearing Li Yancheng say this, Xiaojiu stopped talking nonsense, walked to the side of the road, pushed the bicycle he had just parked on the side of the road, pedaled and rode north.

This kid was quite smart. Although he was anxious, he walked at a moderate pace, no different from other pedestrians on the road.

After watching him leave, Li Yancheng squatted down again and looked at his daughter.

"Xiaoyu, go home through that alley over there, don't take the main road."

"But Dad, I want to follow you. I'm not afraid. I want to see you catch the bad guys." Seeing that her father wanted her to go back first, Xiao Xiaoyu was unhappy. She hugged Li Yancheng's neck again, and kept shrinking her body into his arms, with her legs lifted up and not falling to the ground, as if she was afraid that her father would not take her.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng stood up again while holding his daughter, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

The two children of the Li family are somewhat foolish and bold. They have been like this since they were young. Sometimes the cat at home brings back mice, sparrows, bats and the like. Luo Min would jump up and down when she sees it, but the two little guys are not afraid at all and would pounce on them and snatch them from the cat's mouth.

When a chicken is slaughtered at home, the two of them squat nearby and watch. They are often even eager to try and do it themselves. Huansheng is a boy, so it is understandable that he is brave, but the same is true for Xiaoyu, which makes people speechless.

Another thing is that they followed Li Yancheng to the shooting range to practice shooting. The two children inherited their father's strength and their results in the ten-meter pistol target were better than Luo Min's.

Now this girl wants to follow her father to catch bad guys, which makes Li Yancheng very worried.

But he couldn't force the child to go back, because children are sometimes rebellious and will do whatever you tell them not to do.

If you ask her to go back now, she may appear to be obedient, but what if she sneaks over to you halfway? That would only be more dangerous.
Of course, it is not certain whether those two people are bad people, but he chooses to believe in his and his daughter's feelings. It is this feeling that has saved him many times over the years.

Now even his daughter has this feeling, how could he not believe the common feeling between them.

"You want to follow me?"

"Yeah," Xiao Xiaoyu nodded heavily in her father's arms.

"Then you must be obedient. I will hold you in my arms and you are not allowed to get off the ground by yourself."

"I understand, Dad. I promise to be good and obedient." Seeing that her father agreed to let her follow him, a big smile appeared on Xiao Xiaoyu's face.

"it is good"

Li Yancheng smiled and raised his hand to gently scratch his daughter's nose.

He was standing on the roadside holding his daughter. It was not far from Meishan East Hutong where his home was. Almost all the residents living nearby knew him. From time to time, someone would come forward to greet him enthusiastically and chat with him.

"Li...Yancheng?"

Just as he finished greeting a neighbor, a female voice suddenly came from behind him.

Following the voice, Li Yancheng turned around and saw who was calling him. He was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded: "Hello, Teacher Zhao! Long time no see!"

Zhao Yanan, Li Yancheng's former blind date, was the one who ended up parting ways unhappily when they first met because she proposed an inappropriate condition, and the blind date naturally ended in failure.

After that, the two of them had almost no contact with each other. They only met on the street a few times, but they never spoke.

Later, Li Yancheng heard from Xing Lihua that it happened a few years ago. Ningning was studying at Meishan Middle School, and Zhao Yanan was her class teacher. During a home visit, he was not there that day because he was on a business trip.

When Zhao Yanan came in and left, he stared at the main house intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at the dark main house, he seemed a little disappointed.

When she was seeing her off, she happened to meet Luo Min who had returned with her two children at the gate of the yard. When she learned from Xing Lihua that they were Li Yancheng's wife and children, she simply greeted them and then hurried away pushing her bicycle, as if she was fleeing.

Although they had not seen each other much in the past few years, let alone talked, because the school where she worked was close to Meishan East Hutong and many children in the hutong went to that school, some gossip about her inevitably reached Li Yancheng's ears.

For example, she got married in 1970, but because there was no fading in the bed on the wedding night, her husband treated her badly after marriage and even hit her. Her mother-in-law also acted sarcastic in front of her all day long, saying that she was second-hand goods.

Because of this, Zhao Yanan's brothers from her natal family often had conflicts with her husband.

If these were just the triggers for the breakdown of her marriage, then the last straw that broke the camel's back was when her husband assaulted her again when she was more than eight months pregnant, which caused her to give birth prematurely.

If it was just a premature birth, she might have gritted her teeth and continued to maintain that terrible marriage. The problem was that because of this premature birth, not only did she lose the child, but she also lost the ability to have children again.

At this point, her marriage with the man, which had lasted only a year, was completely broken.

After being discharged from the hospital, she not only divorced the man, but also went to the police station to report her ex-husband for intentional injury.

The police station originally wanted to mediate the matter on the grounds that it was a family affair and asked the man to pay some compensation, but Zhao Yanan was very determined. If you don't arrest him, try him, and sentence him, she will go to the police station to sue. If the police station also takes a conciliatory attitude, she will go to the municipal bureau. If that doesn't work, she will go to the public security headquarters. In short, she must be given an explanation for this matter.

Zhao Yanan's mother worked at the Yangchao Women's Federation. She reported what happened to her daughter to the Municipal Women's Federation, and the Municipal Women's Federation began to put pressure on the public security department.

If something like this happens and is reported to the police station, they will generally focus on education and will rarely file a criminal case. The reason for this is because it is said that even a fair judge cannot judge family affairs.

Another point is that although some women called the police, what they hoped was that the police would criticize and educate their men so that they would not dare to commit the crime again. They did not think about actually arresting and sentencing the men.

In some cases, because the beating was quite serious, the police could not bear it and arrested the men and locked them up for a few days. As a result, the women went to the police station to make a scene, complaining that they had arrested the women and making the police feel embarrassed.

This is also the main reason why the police station basically resorts to mediation for such family affairs.

But now Zhao Yanan's situation is obviously different. First of all, she is divorced. Secondly, because of this incident, she not only lost her child who she had been pregnant for more than eight months, but also made it impossible for her to have children in the future. She is determined to get justice for herself.

The parties involved kept insisting on the case, and with the pressure from the Municipal Women's Federation, the Criminal Police Team of the East City Branch immediately intervened in the case.

The evidence was very easy to find. When the man beat Zhao Yanan, many people in the yard saw it, and the doctor in the hospital could also testify. When she was sent to the hospital, she was not only bleeding heavily, but there was a very clear footprint on her clothes on her stomach, and there were many signs of beating on other parts of her body.

What else is there to say? Just arrest the person.

Zhao Yanan's former parents-in-law are worried because their son has been arrested and is very likely to be sentenced.

He first ran to the school to ask Zhao Yanan for mercy, but didn't see him. Then he ran to Zhao's house, but still couldn't even get in the door.

When the couple saw that they were not getting any better with soft tactics, they ran to the school to make trouble again. They even broke into a classroom and chased and beat Zhao Yanan in the classroom. They were eventually detained for public security.

In the end, after receiving the case report from the police, the court conducted a careful study and sentenced Zhao Yanan’s ex-husband to seven years in prison for intentional injury.

This was also one of the few typical cases of that era in which a person was sentenced for violence within a marriage. It was even reported in the newspapers, and it served as a wake-up call to many people who are impatient. However, how much effect it will have is a matter of opinion.

After all, in this era, not all women have the courage to file for divorce. Many times when they encounter problems, they just swallow their anger.

This incident also made Zhao Yanan a celebrity. Nine years have passed since her divorce in the 22nd year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. She is 35 years old and still single.
