Chapter 551: 551 He admits his mistake and accepts the punishment

The men of the Shuangshan Brigade muttered, "..."

"Tangtang, could you tone it down a bit when you’re outside?!"

Lin Tang and Lin Qingshan ignored everyone’s reaction and went straight into the house.

Upon seeing Lin Zhicheng’s state, they exchanged a glance and laughed inappropriately and unkindly.

Lin Zhicheng was tied back-to-back with a cute little girl with skin as white as snow.

The little girl appeared to be six or seven years old, with cheeks plump as steamed buns, soundly asleep and snoring softly.

Despite Lin Zhicheng’s howling, she didn’t even open her eyes.

When people sleep, their bodies unconsciously lean to one side.

They were fastened to a small stool.

With the girl’s body leaning down, Lin Zhicheng, afraid that she would fall to the ground, stiffened his body to support her, his face turning red and his neck bulging from the strain.

Lin Tang came over to untie the rope.

Just as he was about to catch the blissfully sleeping girl...

Lin Zhicheng twisted his body like a monkey, tightly protecting her.

He gently pinched the little girl’s fair cheek and said helplessly, "Wake up already, or the bad guys will cook and eat you."

Lin Tang looked surprised.

Was this the same nephew she knew with the rough voice and brash manner?

The little girl woke up with a start, sobbing a whimpering cry, her groggy voice carrying a tearful tone.

"Waaah, don’t eat Yuanyuan."

Lin Zhicheng patted the little girl’s shoulder, comforting her, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, my little aunt has come to rescue us. Look, the bad people have been caught."

The girl named Yuanyuan turned her head.

She saw a bunch of men, a beautiful sister, and two police uncles.

And there, the villain who had taken her was tied up.

Yuanyuan sniffled and moved closer, then plopped down on the big baddie who had abducted her.

"Big baddie, I’ll crush you to death!!"

Her round face puffed up like a bun, making her look even more adorable.

Lin Tang couldn’t help but laugh in astonishment.

Lin Zhicheng frowned, walked over, and pulled her up, "Isn’t that dirty?"

The little girl obediently got to her feet.

A villager nudged Lin Qingshan’s shoulder, joking, "Looks like your Lin Goudan’s got it figured out, picking himself a little bride so young. He’ll go far."

Lin Qingshan, seeing that his son was all right, let out a long breath of relief.

Observing Lin Zhicheng unharmed and still his rugged self, compared with their own frantic and dog-tired state from not even having had the chance to eat dinner, he slapped his son on the head.

The slap appeared formidable but landed gently without any real force.

"You little rascal, running around for no good reason, got the whole village looking for you, see what I do to you..."

Before he could finish, the fear building up inside Lin Zhicheng suddenly erupted, and he started to sob with a quivering mouth and streaming tears.

Lin Qingshan thought he had made his son cry with the slap and rubbed the back of his head.

"What’s wrong, did I hurt you?!"

Lin Zhicheng shook his head, ignoring his father.

Instead, he turned to Lin Tang with a tearful complaint.

"Little auntie, the baddie burnt my sneakers you gave me, and he tried to take my watch..."

He looked down at the holes in his sneakers, on the verge of tears.

He usually cherished them too much to wear.

After inspecting his sneakers, he looked at his watch, which the bad guy had tugged at repeatedly.

Seeing it wasn’t damaged, and recalling how that person suddenly fell to the ground while pulling at it, Lin Zhicheng’s tearful face paused, his eyes filled with confusion.

What exactly had happened at that time?

Lin Tang tapped her nephew’s forehead, speaking with a face full of disbelief,

"It’s just a pair of sneakers. Look at how pitiful you’re being."

The others looked down at their own filthy, worn-out shoes, their big toes sticking out, and felt a pang at the unfairness of the world.

Isn’t it just indeed?!

For a moment, they looked at Lin Tang with a touch of resentment.

Lin Tang hadn’t noticed and soothed, "When we get home, I’ll have your mother patch them up and put a little flower on them. Then you’ll be the brightest kid in the family."

Lin Zhicheng was just scared and wanted some comfort; his emotional resilience wasn’t that low.

At this moment, looking into his aunt’s gentle eyes, the boy who cared about his pride suddenly blushed.

His voice was muffled as he said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Tang gave a slight smile, her eyes sparkling with stars.

But her tone was cool, as if it were coated in frost.

"Shoes are a minor matter, everyone at home has been frantically looking for you; you should think about how to apologize to everyone."

No matter the reason, a child who doesn’t return home after school is definitely in for a beating.

Lin Zhicheng had long braced himself for the beating, not even bothering to struggle.

"I know I was wrong, I’ll accept my punishment when I get back."

He was a little man, truly willing to accept punishment for his mistakes.

Lin Tang was pleased with her great-nephew’s sense of responsibility at such a young age.

"Good, it’s good that you know your mistake, I have prepared some medicine for you in advance."

It just so happened that she had prepared some medicine ahead of time.

It would be needed if his butt swelled from a beating.

Lin Zhicheng was full of gratitude, "Thank you, Auntie."

Yuanyuan looked on, bewildered.

You’re getting a beating, and you’re still saying thank you?

Thinking how Lin Zhicheng was caught while trying to help her, the little girl walked up to Lin Tang, looking up at her with her little round face.

"Sister, can you not blame Lin Zhicheng? He was caught because he was helping me, and I don’t want to see him being beaten."

Lin Tang pinched the little girl’s face, which was smooth and soft, very pleasant to touch.

"I can’t do that," she said with a smile.

She used the gentlest expression to deliver the most ruthless words.

Lin Zhicheng couldn’t escape today’s beating.

No questions about the reasons.

Good deeds can be done, but if they put oneself in danger or negatively impact the family, then... heh.

Speaking of which, it was fortunate that Lin Lu and others encountered Lin Qingshan rushing home on the road; Lin Qingshan promptly stopped the old couple and told them Zhicheng had a tracking watch on him and couldn’t be lost.

He had them return to the village in advance.

Otherwise, Lin Tang would’ve blown a fuse.

It was really getting late, and with the old couple running around, she probably couldn’t resist the urge to teach Lin Goudan a lesson for his thoughtlessness.

Yuanyuan, hearing Lin Tang’s answer, suddenly opened her clear eyes wide with a look of confusion.

"Why? Lin Zhicheng did a good deed, my daddy said people who do good deeds should be praised."

The little girl’s face was full of accusation.

Lin Tang was both tired and hungry, with neither the mood nor the patience to explain.

She simply said, "Not all good people and good deeds receive flowers and applause."

Especially for kids, who haven’t yet grown all their fur, what’s the rush to show off?

Without waiting for the little girl to react, Lin Tang turned her gaze toward the direction where two police officers had emerged.

That seemed to be a room used for storage.

One officer was supporting an old man with a head injury, while the other officer carried a large black bag.

Lin Tang glanced at the bag, a glint of speculation in her eyes.

She guessed a trip to the Police Station might be on the cards.

Sure enough, the next second.

The officer carrying the large black bag took a step forward.

"We have some matters we need to understand, please come with us for a bit," he said.

They originally thought this was just a typical child disappearance case.

But...

The wireless transmitter and listening devices found inside all hinted at a more complicated situation.

The officer’s expression suddenly turned serious, and the youths from Shuangshan Brigade sensed that something was amiss, their eyes turning to Lin Tang.

"Tangtang?"

Lin Tang gave them a calming look.

She nodded calmly.

"All right, we’ll cooperate," she said.

After speaking, she looked toward Lin Qingshan and the others.

"If we are upright, we have no fear of a crooked shadow; we have done nothing, so what is there to fear?"
