Chapter 84 Forget Each Other in the Jianghu 8
XX County, Textile Factory Staff Quarters.
Xiao Xiao had been asking her way here, and she stopped outside the gate, looking around.
The gate was an old-fashioned iron gate, covered with mottled rust, as if telling the story of the past.
Traces of notices and slogans that were once posted can still be seen on the white wall at the entrance.
The guardhouse was right next door, its windows covered in dust, and inside there was an old table and two chairs.
After confirming that this was the place, Xiao Xiao stepped inside.
There were quite a few elderly men and women sitting on benches chatting in the open space next to the guardhouse.
"Grandpa, Grandma, do you have a woman here named Luo Huimin who is under forty years old?"
As soon as Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Qin entered the residential compound, looking around cautiously, everyone noticed the little girl.
When she asked about Law Wai-man, everyone looked on in surprise, exchanged glances, and said:
"Do we have such a person here?"
"There are a few families with the surname Luo, but it seems that no one is named Luo Huimin."
"Yes, there really isn't."
No one seemed to remember it, so Aunt Qin looked at Xiao Xiao curiously and asked:
"Child, you've got the wrong person. We don't have such a person here."
The little hands gripped the straps, a look of doubt on their faces.
She remembered that this was the place written on Luo Huimin's ID card!
It's impossible for something to go wrong!
Just then, someone slapped their thigh and shouted:
"Hey! Wasn't the original Director Luo's daughter named Huimin?"
"Director Luo? Which Director Luo? Oh—you mean Luo Yongxing's house, which moved away a long time ago!"
Now that you mention it, everyone finally remembered.
Goodness, more than ten years have passed.
At the same time, the events of that year resurfaced in everyone's minds.
The way everyone looked at Xiaoxiao changed; it was now filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and speculation.
"Young lady, what's your relationship with Law Wai-man?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Aunt Qin tentatively asked.
Everyone else pricked up their ears and stared at Xiao Xiao.
She stood there, letting them look her over, with a big smile on her face.
"Oh! I came to see my mother on her behalf. Does she still live here?"
What's your mother's name?
“My mother’s name is Wang Xiu’e. She used to work at the Hongxing Machinery Factory. She asked me to come and find Aunt Luo.”
Everyone exclaimed "Oh!" at the same time, "So that's how it is."
They thought just now...
"They're gone, they've been gone for a long time. Ever since that incident... they moved away."
"What happened, ma'am? Please tell me so I can go back and explain to my mother."
Xiao Xiao said this with great enthusiasm, then took out a few oranges from her bag and handed them to them.
Okay, seeing that the young girl was quite sensible, the group of middle-aged women recounted the events of that year with great enthusiasm and spittle flying everywhere.
Xiao Xiao wiped the spittle off her face with a grim expression and said goodbye to the elderly men and women.
She was already mentally prepared, but she was still very sad after hearing it.
Xiao Xiao finally let out a heavy sigh of relief after walking quite a distance from the residential compound.
The story is simple: around that time, rumors circulated in the factory that girls had been assaulted by hooligans.
Finally, someone said it was Director Luo's daughter.
Not long after, Director Luo and his family moved away.
I don't know where we'll move to.
Some said they went back to their rural hometown, while others said they went to other places.
Xiao Xiao asked, "Who is that thug? Has he been arrested?"
Aunt Qin said excitedly, "He would have been shot long ago. During the crackdown, he would have been arrested and made to eat peanuts."
As for why the original body wasn't aborted but instead was born.
They don’t know.
Xiao Xiao didn't want to ask any more questions. Knowing that the original owner's background wasn't honorable was enough.
This alone is enough to explain all of Law Wai-man's actions.
She didn't linger and immediately bought a return train ticket.
The train rattled along, and Xiao Xiao sat by the window, her eyes somewhat vacant.
"Auntie, please don't pick up babies like that again, it makes them uncomfortable."
"Okay, Auntie will report it to the team leader."
The system gently patted the little girl's head to comfort her.
After returning home, she contacted He Wenwen and borrowed her stun gun and cell phone.
After fully charging, she disguised herself and locked the door.
Arriving at the alley entrance, I paid the price of a bag of instant noodles to trick a child into saying a sentence, which I then recorded on my phone.
After everything was ready, she went to Chen Zhifeng's house.
This is also a family compound, room 602 on the sixth floor.
Xiao Xiao pulled her baseball cap down lower and tightened her mask before knocking on the iron gate across the street.
"Who is it?"
The moment the door opened, the sounds of conversation from the living room could be heard through the gaps in the security door.
"Tell the eldest brother to go to the hospital and bring that woman back right away. It's been three days and she's still in the hospital? It's just a tiny injury. I think she's faking it. She wants us to bow down. No way."
"Exactly, these past few days I've had to buy groceries, cook, and clean. It's exhausting."
With a slight smile and a bowed head, Chen Haitao opened the iron gate and, while asking the question, pressed the play button on the phone on his chest.
"I'm a gas maintenance worker."
A somewhat immature boy's voice came out.
Chen Haitao frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Is the gas system being inspected now?"
He didn't care about these things, so he opened the door.
After Xiaoxiao went inside and observed, she realized it was a three-bedroom house.
Xiao Xiao walked into the kitchen and pulled two stun guns out of her bag.
Chen Haitao, who followed him in, looked at the boy in front of him with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the instrument used for inspecting gas?"
With a simple press of the switch on the stun gun, a bright spark flashed instantly at the head of the stun gun, accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity.
"you---"
Even the slow-witted Chen Haitao realized something was wrong. He had just opened his mouth to question them when Xiao Xiao hit him on the head with a stick.
With a scream, Chen Haitao collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen, who were still chatting in the living room, and Chen Haitao's sister, Chen Yan, immediately ran over.
"What happened?"
The three of them ran to the kitchen one after the other and saw Xiao Xiao holding two sparking electric batons, while Chen Haitao lay unconscious on the ground.
"What did you do?"
All of this is contained in a small calculation.
She jumped over Chen Haitao on the ground, raised her two sticks, and smashed them down on Chen's mother and Chen Yan.
The two gasped in surprise and instinctively raised their arms to block.
This was exactly what Xiao Xiao wanted. After two screams, Chen's mother and Chen Yan also collapsed.
Mr. Chen, who was moving a bit slower, was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Xiao Xiao looked at him, and only then did Chen's father realize what was happening. He turned to run away, but Xiao Xiao knocked him down from behind.
Chen Zhifeng stared blankly at everything from the bedroom doorway. Xiao Xiao also saw him, raised her stun gun and gestured for him to lie down so she wouldn't have to do it.
Chen Zhifeng understood what was happening in his panic and quickly lay down on the ground.
He nodded approvingly, then turned and went to the kitchen, where he beat up the unconscious Chen Haitao, not even sparing the three people standing at the kitchen door.
After greeting everyone, he glanced one last time at Chen Zhifeng, who was lying obediently on the ground, then put away his double sticks and left gracefully.
Half an hour later, the group woke up and immediately called the police.
After the police arrived, they first took them to the hospital for examination, and then inquired about the case.
Chen Haitao, his face bruised and swollen, and his whole body aching, gritted his teeth and said:
"Not long after we finished eating, a boy knocked on the door. He was not tall, about 1.65 meters. He was impersonating a gas company employee to come into the house for maintenance."
Then, after we got to the kitchen, without saying a word, he pulled out a stun gun and knocked me unconscious.
Then they knocked my parents and sister unconscious, and oh yes, they knocked my son unconscious too.
The policeman, holding a pen and paper, wrote down his questions as he asked:
"Was there any financial loss?"
"The money isn't lost, no, it is. My salary that I just received is gone, five thousand yuan is gone."
The police officer paused for a moment, but still made a note of it.
They then questioned Chen's father, mother, and Chen Yan, and all three gave similar accounts, but none of them had clearly seen the boy's appearance.
The policeman frowned and said:
Have you offended anyone recently? Or had an argument with anyone?
"this?"
The family members exchanged glances, some seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
