Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 255 - 254

Chapter 255: Chapter 254

"What if Bai Bo bites you out? He is now like a dead pig who isn’t afraid of boiling water, dragging down anyone he can... Moreover, if I were him, the person I would hate the most would definitely be you."

Next to the vegetable garden, Wang Shumei whispered to Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe was working on a physics problem and didn’t even lift his head when he said, "He’ll definitely fabricate stories about me, that’s for sure."

"And you’re still in the mood to study?" Wang Shumei snatched the pen from Lin Nianhe’s hand, "Your parents might even get dragged into this."

"Of course, he’d love to involve my ancestors if he could." Lin Nianhe stretched lazily, looking at Sister Lan hard at work in the vegetable patch, and remarked, "Sister Lan is really something, working so hard every day and still bouncing around with energy. If it were me, I’d be done for."

Wang Shumei was exasperated. She looked at Lin Nianhe with a headache and tugged at her braid to force her to look at herself.

She stared into those innocent wide eyes and said word by word, "Lin Nianhe, you need to be more aware!"

Lin Nianhe blinked her eyes, still looking innocent: "I know, but there’s nothing I can do about these things, and I can’t just shut Bai Bo’s mouth."

"What are you going to do then? What can you do now?"

"Right now..." Lin Nianhe propped her chin with one hand, pondered for a moment, then stood up. She dusted off her clothes and said, "I have to go back and cook now."

Wang Shumei: "..."

She really wanted to call over Wen Lan, beat her up first, and then throw her into the Da Xinganling Mountains to lay low for a while.

Lin Nianhe swung her arms and returned to the Educated Youth Corps, where she steamed two pots of cornbread.

While waiting, she felt a bit troubled.

She had wanted to fleece Bai Bo to help the villagers, but now that he was locked up, that plan seemed impossible.

Lin Nianhe was still thinking about how to fleece someone, unaware that Bai Bo was already clean-shaven.

"Confiscation of property is a given, his wife is also aware of these dealings, do we take her in as well?"

Over the phone, Sun Bo asked.

"I’ve investigated, Zheng Lirong hasn’t been directly involved in the black market operations, and she has little to do with the task you’ve assigned me."

"Hmm... What about him accusing Nianhe? If this gets brought to Beijing, the compound is going to turn upside-down."

Su Yuncheng: "Oh, framing a military family member, add another level to his crimes."

Sun Bo: "..."

Did he want to hear the outcome?

He wanted to know the results of the investigation.

Obviously, Major Su felt there was no need to investigate this matter further, and it wasn’t related to his assignment.

Sun Bo was silent for a long time before tentatively asking, "So, am I proceeding with the arrest?"

He had come to terms with it; since he had handed the task over to Su Yuncheng, he had to be prepared to follow orders and be an underling no matter who it involved.

"Deploy the previously arranged twelve squads simultaneously; complete the arrest within forty minutes," Su Yuncheng said, "You just give the command, I have everything arranged. After the arrest, bring them to the military region for separate detention, I will interrogate them when I return."

"Alright."

Sun Bo was a qualified tool person. After agreeing, he hung up the phone and hurried off to be an emotionless messenger.

After hanging up, Su Yuncheng turned around to see Liu Jianjun.

He nodded, "Uncle Liu, thanks for the hard work."

Liu Jianjun looked at him, with a complex expression: "What happened to Bai Bo’s injuries?"

Su Yuncheng: "He fell on his own."

Liu Jianjun gritted his molars, "He fell in the interrogation room?"

Su Yuncheng: "Yes."

Liu Jianjun felt a throbbing pain in his head.

He glared at Su Yuncheng, nearly grinding his teeth to bits but couldn’t squeeze out a word.

Su Yuncheng said, "If there’s an issue, Brigade Commander Sun will take responsibility. Lan County Police Station is just assisting with the arrest, it has nothing to do with us."

Liu Jianjun: "Hmm... The floor in the interrogation room is uneven; I’ll have to go and level it later."

Su Yuncheng nodded, looked at his watch, and said, "The prisoners in the mountains will have to be taken to Lan County Prison first. Uncle Liu, please arrange a vehicle."

"Okay."

The second tool man hurried to coordinate and find a car.

Su Yuncheng arrived at the village just as Lin Nianhe was teaching a Chinese class.

"...Let’s read together: Obey, Rules, Uphold, Law."

He stood outside the window, watching her at the podium, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The sound of the children’s reading reached his ears, and Su Yuncheng’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Dinglingling—"

The bell buzzed, signaling the end of the class.

Lin Nianhe was not used to prolonging classes; she announced dismissal and let the children go play.

She wiped the chalk dust off her fingers with a damp handkerchief, turned her head, and waved to the person outside the window.

Su Yuncheng chuckled softly and stepped into the classroom.

Lin Nianhe’s office desk was very tidy, aside from the students’ homework, there was only an enamel tank, a fountain pen, and the red and white checkered notebook he had given her before.

Lin Nianhe folded the handkerchief neatly and placed it on the corner of the desk, took a sip of water, and asked him, "Are you finished with your work?"

"I’m here to pick up a prisoner from the cave," replied Su Yuncheng, placing the oilpaper-wrapped package on her desk, "I have to head back to the provincial city tonight, wanted to see you first."

Lin Nianhe pressed her lips into a smile and asked, "Did Bai Bo say anything?"

"No," Su Yuncheng answered.

Hearing this, Lin Nianhe felt relieved.

She didn’t bring up those matters, only saying, "Then you should be careful. When you come back, I’ll make dumplings for you."

"Okay," Su Yuncheng nodded in agreement, then asked her, "What would you like? I’ll bring it back for you."

"Hmm..." Lin Nianhe thought and thought, then said, "If there are still pineapple cans, could you buy a few for me?"

"Okay."

Escorting fifty prisoners who hadn’t eaten for four days down the mountain was time-consuming; Su Yuncheng also had to wait for Lin Nianhe to finish a math class before he could leave.

Before departing, he said, "Nianhe, wait for me to come back."

"Okay," Lin Nianhe smiled with eyes curved, waving at him.

Su Yuncheng was about to leave but was stopped by Niuwa.

Niuwa looked up at him, his little face flushed red.

"What is it?" Su Yuncheng asked him.

Niuwa blinked twice and bowed to him, "Brother Su, I’m sorry."

Su Yuncheng was momentarily startled, turning his head to look at Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe just smiled and said nothing.

Niuwa straightened up, still looking up at Su Yuncheng, and said softly, "My grandpa... caused you trouble..."

At the mention of his grandpa, Niuwa’s eyes reddened.

Hearing him say this, Su Yuncheng understood the reason for the apology.

He nodded solemnly, "You should take this to heart and obey the law."

"Yes!"

Niuwa moved aside with red-rimmed eyes.

Su Yuncheng looked at Lin Nianhe a little longer, until it was almost too late, and then he left quickly.

Watching his retreating figure, Niuwa tugged at Lin Nianhe’s sleeve, "Teacher Hehe, is Brother Su going to catch bad guys again?"

"Yes, he’s gone to catch bad guys again."

Lin Nianhe placed her hand on Niuwa’s head, her voice carrying a hint of sadness.

She would be unable to see the face she liked for a long time again; it was a bit sad.

Niuwa looked up at her, then suddenly ran back to his seat, took out a White Rabbit candy from his bag, unwrapped it, and offered it to her.

Lin Nianhe puzzled, "What for?"

"Teacher Hehe," Niuwa coaxed her, "Eat a candy, and you won’t be sad anymore."
