Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mayor Shen followed Lu Zhiling’s finger and looked over. Watching the growing crowd, he could not help frowning.
He was no fool. Lu Zhiling would not target this child for no reason. There must be something going on behind the scenes. However, he had always doted on Lu Zhiling, so he was naturally happy to agree to such a small request.
“You’re right. If you don’t learn to do things the proper way from a young age, you’ll become a scourge when you grow up.”
“I’ll get someone to handle it.”
Mayor Shen nodded and made a call to the police.
When the police received Mayor Shen’s call, they immediately moved out. Three or four police officers headed aggressively towards Qiu Xingyuan’s stall.
The police officers ignored Qiu Xingyuan’s struggles and the advice of the people around them. They confiscated all the pesticide and took Qiu Xingyuan away to the nearby police station.
Lu Zhiling sat in the car and watched coldly as everything unfolded. The corners of her lips curled up into a vicious smile.
Qiu Tong, this is what you get for opposing me!
Meanwhile, Qiu Tong received a call from the police and rushed to the police station.
Only when Chief Officer Fang saw Qiu Tong did he realize that Qiu Xingyuan was her son. Thinking of the second lieutenant, who was closely linked to Qiu Tong, he had a bad premonition and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Why did you bring this child in?”
Chief Officer Fang gritted his teeth and looked at the police officer beside him.
The police officer lowered his head and laughed. “Chief, this is an order from Mayor Fang. We have no choice but to follow it.”
Chief Officer Fang’s expression changed as he cursed in his heart.
He could not afford to offend either of them.
Chief Officer Fang thought for a while and decided to deal with Mayor Shen. He smiled and said to Qiu Tong.
“Miss Qiu, I think there might be some misunderstanding here.”
“Let me make a call first. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Although Qiu Tong did not look happy, she nodded.
When Chief Officer Fang returned to his office, he immediately called Mayor Shen. “Mayor Shen, hello. I’m Fang from the police station.”
“You ordered to arrest a child just now, his mother’s name is Qiu Tong.”
“I met her at the police station previously because of some misunderstanding. Later on, a second lieutenant bailed her out.”
“That second lieutenant seems to be on good terms with her. It’s very likely that Qiu Tong knows someone from the military.
“So for what happened today…”
When Mayor Shen received Chief Officer Fang’s call, he was having lunch with Lu Zhiling.
He put down his fork and knife, surprise flashing in his eyes.
Who would have thought that this child’s family had military connections?
He looked up at Lu Zhiling, who immediately gave him a big smile.
Mayor Shen didn’t want to lose face in front of the woman. Besides, Qiu Tong wasn’t the only one who knew people from the military. His brother also had a lot of connections in the military.
“So what if she knows people in the military? She wants to take advantage of her connections? Do what you have to do.”
Mayor Shen hung up after speaking.
Hearing Mayor Shen’s determined attitude, Chief Officer Fang knew that he wouldn’t heed his advice. He sighed heavily and had no choice but to follow Mayor Shen’s orders.
Chief Officer Fang walked out of the office and smiled awkwardly at Qiu Tong.
“Miss Qiu, let me bring you to see the child first. I’ll tell you the details as we walk.”
Qiu Tong immediately stood up. She desperately wanted to know Qiu Xingyuan’s current situation.
When Qiu Xingyuan saw Qiu Tong appear, he knew that he could not hide this matter anymore. Qiu Tong must have already known about his business.
Seeing Qiu Tong glare at him angrily, he could not help but lower his head.
“Qiu Xingyuan, do you know what you did wrong?”
Along the way, Qiu Tong had already understood what had happened. This time, she was really angry.
Qiu Xingyuan lowered his head even more, his voice barely audible. “I shouldn’t have gone to do business at the market without you knowing.”
He had been rather scared during his time at the police station. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only answer obediently.
Qiu Tong raised an eyebrow and asked.
“What else?”
Qiu Xingyuan’s voice became even softer, almost a whisper.
“I shouldn’t have kept it from you. That I’ve already made the locust pesticide.”
Qiu Tong thought to herself:?Well, this kid has been hiding a lot of things from me. Nevertheless, she remained expressionless.
“Anything else?”
Qiu Xingyuan was stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully, he shook his head.
Seeing that he really did not have anything else to reveal, Qiu Tong pointed at him and scolded in a low voice, “Qiu Xingyuan, your biggest mistake was not protecting yourself properly!”
