My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 269 Are you being threatened by someone?
Chapter 269: 269 Are you being threatened by someone?
The second child’s family really tightened their belts, scrimping on meals to pay for Tangtang’s education.
And now...
Just talking about it makes people absolutely furious!
As for Li Xiuli’s issue, Lin Tang really had no ideas.
She had been manipulating public opinion from behind the scenes, and even the people from the Inspection Team had been called over by Comrade Gu.
That matter would be handled by higher-ups; she just needed to honestly watch the drama unfold.
Struggling too fiercely would bring no good to herself!
"Do nothing, just wait," Lin Tang said.
If it weren’t for the people from the Inspection Team, she might have taken further action.
Now? There was no need!
The Lin Family was getting anxious.
"Tangtang, have you been threatened by someone?" Zhou Mei’s eyes rounded with concern.
Lin Qingshui: "..." His wife’s thought processes were as bizarre as ever.
Lin Tang couldn’t help but smile wryly.
In the corner of her eye, she noticed Gu Yingzhou standing a few meters away, a thin man approached and said something to him.
After that, the man pointed in her direction.
Then he left.
The thin man remained where he was.
After Gu Yingzhou’s figure had disappeared, he ran up to the Lin Family.
His beady eyes whirled around, making him look quite shrewd.
"Are you Comrade Lin Tang? Someone sent me to deliver a message: the Inspection Team has gone to the Xia Family," he said.
The moment the words were spoken and before the Lin Family could react, he ran off without looking back.
Lin Fu was puzzled, "What does that mean?"
Could it be...
Lin Tang’s lips curled slightly, "Let’s go and see for ourselves."
She first returned to the office to ask her director for an hour’s leave, then she and her family went to the Xia Family.
The Xia Family.
Xia Ru had just finished her bath and was lounging on the sofa, snacking.
Her ears tuned in to the radio.
Life was too comfortable for her.
Suddenly, the door opened from outside.
Dong Xiaolian had just finished her night shift and returned home.
As soon as she pushed the door open and saw Xia Ru on the sofa, she was startled.
"Ru Ru, why are you back?" The woman frowned, "Is school out for a holiday?"
Xia Ru lost her appetite in an instant, pouting.
"I took some time off."
Her expression seeking sympathy, she waited for Dong Xiaolian to comfort her.
But, unexpectedly...
Dong Xiaolian’s frown deepened.
"Took time off? Why did you take time off? What about your studies? Have you finished your exams? If you take time off at the end of the term, what will you do if you can’t get your diploma?"
Hearing her prattle, Xia Ru’s expression soured.
"Aren’t you annoying, asking so many questions. It’s simply unbearable in this house. I’ll go out for a walk," she said irritably.
After speaking, she opened the door, planning to go to the Ice rink to have some fun.
As she opened the door, she nearly collided with Xia Zhihao who was just about to enter.
"Oh my! Daughter, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry? Don’t you need to rest a bit after just returning?" He steadied his daughter with one hand while saying so gently.
Xia Ru, seeing her father, became excited.
Even the attraction of ice skating seemed less appealing.
"Dad, how are things going? Can I go back to school now? And that Lin Tang, how are you planning to deal with her..."
She asked eagerly, not noticing that Xia Zhihao’s expression was tinged with unease.
The outing to seek help had been fruitless, with not a single influential person agreeing to meet him.
Xia Zhihao’s heart turned cold, and he made certain to remember the names of all those people.
Once he got through this crisis, he wouldn’t let any of them off the hook!
Xia Ru, noticing her father’s silence, felt her excitement wane and fixed her eyes on Xia Zhihao.
"Dad, don’t tell me you haven’t sorted it out?" she said, very unsatisfied.
"Hurry up and find someone to help me out first; otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to participate in the final exams."
The school was already dissatisfied with her performance.
If she missed the final exams as well, she feared it would indeed affect her ability to get her diploma.
Xia Zhihao’s gaze darkened.
Since seeing the newspaper, for the first time, he realized that there were more than just one force behind this matter targeting him.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the case that everyone was shunning him.
"Dad is working on it, be good for now!" he said.
"The situation is special, now is not the time to be willful. When you can go back to school, I will let you know," Xia Zhihao coaxed gently.
But Xia Ru couldn’t understand and even felt completely disappointed.
"I haven’t been willful! I just want to go back to school. How does that make me willful?"
Her face was full of arrogance and disdain, "It’s just a girl from the countryside, just make her write a letter of apology to the Xiangyang Newspaper to restore my reputation, that’s all."
"If she dares to refuse, I’ll find someone to break her family members’ legs."
"If one won’t do, then two, if two won’t do, then five. I don’t believe she’d dare to keep opposing me."
The Xia Family had a detached house.
Xia Ru was used to saying whatever she wanted at home.
She never knew the meaning of the word ’restraint.’
When she said the above, her voice was calm, filled with an air of routine.
The people from the Inspection Team had just reached the doorway and happened to hear this conversation.
The one in charge looked refined and easily won people over, but the gleam in his eyes was like that of a hunter who had found his prey.
"...Arrest him."
As the man’s voice fell, two men burst from behind him and immediately twisted Xia Zhihao’s arms behind his back.
"Ah!!!" Xia Zhihao screamed in shock, and then threatened, "What are you doing? Do you know who I am? Do you believe I can have you arrested?"
Xing Zhen leaned casually against the wall, his posture relaxed.
He wore a pale green shirt and crisply ironed black trousers.
His hair was so short it couldn’t be grasped.
His eyes were piercing, his nose bridge high, and his lips thin.
His facial features combined to create an unbearably sharp aura.
The man raised a brow lightly, "Find someone to arrest us?"
He let out a meaningfully mocking laugh.
"Sure," Xing Zhen said, spreading his hands in mock regret, "Our people from the Inspection Team have yet to feel what it’s like on the inside, you’re just helping us to experience it, what do you think?"
The words ’Inspection Team’ scared Xia Zhihao to his core.
"The Inspection Team?" He felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead.
Looking up at Xing Zhen, a chill ran down his spine.
Xing Zhen gently nodded, his demeanor as graceful as a nobleman from the medieval era.
"Correct, I am Xing Zhen. First time meeting, forgive my rudeness," he said.
Xia Zhihao heard this clearly and wished he could pass out in that moment.
He bit the inside of his cheek,
A forced, stiff smile spread across his face.
"Comrade Xing, what is this all about? I’ve been diligent in my position and haven’t made a single mistake. Isn’t ’welcoming gift’ a bit too much?" he said.
While talking, Xia Zhihao glanced at the two men twisting his arm.
Xing Zhen shook his index finger gently and disagreed,
"No, no, no, not at all severe. Compared to what you’ve done, this is quite light," he replied.
To see his future sister-in-law treated so harshly and not seek revenge, he would be ashamed of himself,
Let alone facing his many brothers and elders.
The youngest of his disciples had rarely asked for his help, so he needed to handle it perfectly.
Xia Zhihao was confused, "What we’ve done? What incident are you referring to?"
As he was pinned to the ground, unable to move at all,
His body was utterly stiff.
To find a more comfortable position, he knelt on the ground.
Seeing him like this brought a satisfying feeling to Xing Zhen.
