Lin Shuyue turned her head to look at He Yuling. She thought about it and probably realized that she was being targeted the night she went to pick up Jiang Xinxin.
Being targeted by a traitor is not a good thing, but after knowing who those people were who talked to Jiang Xinxin on the night she went to pick her up, Lin Shuyue realized that she was being targeted. Not to mention that she later saved Hu Xinrui.
"Thank you Sister Yuling, I'll take you home."
"Okay."
He Yuling's home is in a government compound annex not far from the Public Security Bureau. This community was built more than 20 years ago and the buildings are a bit old, but because it is a government compound, the facilities and greenery within the community are very good.
He Yuling took Lin Shuyue to her home. She did not live with her in-laws, but only the three of them lived in the 80-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living-room house.
Her home is also very cozy . Like many families of this era, she likes to put lace squares on the furniture and grow some vegetables and flowers on the balcony, which is full of the atmosphere of life. Photos of He Yuling's family of three are placed everywhere in the house.
He Yuling took a bottle of drink out of the refrigerator for Lin Shuyue, and the two sat on the sofa covered with lace squares to chat. He Yuling's attitude towards her suspension was very peaceful. It was as if she was not suspended, but given a long vacation.
He Yuling also took out a photo album to look at with Lin Shuyue, in which she and her friend named Sun Xiaoxia were included. Sun Xiaoxia had long hair and was pretty. In every photo with He Yuling, she made a scissors sign. She seemed to be wearing shirts, short-sleeved and long-sleeved, countless.
Looking at her photos and thinking about the days of mutual support, He Yuling was very emotional: "After college, we went to different schools and took different paths after graduation, but we would get together every month. Over the years, we have never had any disagreements. Because of my good relationship with her, after Xinxin returned from the army, I took Xinxin shopping with her twice and had dinner with her twice."
"Because they knew each other before, and Xinxin went out recently, it's normal for her to ask, but she shouldn't ask you about what happened between you and the anti-cult team a few nights ago." As a police officer, He Yuling's professional sensitivity was fully raised when faced with this kind of question.
Because she had never mentioned to Sun Xiaoxia that she had a good relationship with Lin Shuyue, and the fact that the anti-cult team came to Pengcheng that night was a secret. Even Lin Shuyue, who had direct contact with them, did not know the true identities of those policemen until today.
How did Sun Xiaoxia know this? You know, her job has nothing to do with being a police officer!
"I never knew when she converted to this religion."
Lin Shuyue patted He Yuling's shoulder. She felt that although He Yuling was behaving quite normally, she must be feeling very uncomfortable psychologically. After all, after this incident, no matter whether Sun Xiaoxia was a member of the Great Sutra Wheel Sect or not, and whether she could return to work at the Public Security Bureau, it would be difficult for their friendship to continue.
How can you just give up the feelings of twenty or thirty years?
He Yuling was indeed upset. She talked to Lin Shuyue about the happy times she had spent with Sun Xiaoxia when she was a child. She also told many inside stories about the Great Sutra Wheel Sect that only the military and police system knew.
The conversation lasted until after five o'clock. At nearly seven o'clock, He Yuling's husband came back after picking up the children. Lin Shuyue turned on the good and evil radar and scanned him. She found that he was within 10%, so she was relieved and took the opportunity to say goodbye to He Yuling.
He Yuling's repeated attempts to keep Lin Shuyue failed. After closing the door, Lin Shuyue heard He Yuling's husband comforting her, saying that she had worked for many years and this suspension was just right for her to rest at home, like taking a New Year's leave, and spend time with her family.
Lin Shuyue smiled, walked downstairs briskly, and sat in the car. She was not in a hurry to drive away. She was thinking about the possibility of moving out of her home.
She felt that she would definitely encounter more troubles in the future than now. Even if she bought amulets from the system for her family to wear, she would not dare to be completely at ease. If she lived alone, it would definitely be much better and she would not need to be so worried.
But it is difficult to talk to Lou Fengqin about this, as she may not agree.
While thinking about how to convince Lou Fengqin, she drove out of He Yuling's community.
As soon as Lin Shuyue arrived at the newspaper office, Wang Mingzheng walked out of the office and handed her a form.
"Fill it out today and send it out tonight." After Wang Mingzheng said this, he turned around and went back to his office.
Huang Qiang, who was standing next to Lin Shuyue, came over to take a look: "Application form for the 10th China Top Ten Young Journalists Award? That's good, Ah Yue, you can apply for this award after just one year in the industry."
The Top Ten Young Journalists Award is the highest honor for young Chinese journalists. Without a few influential reports, no one would dare to sign up for it. Not only that, the application form also requires recommendation from someone, and the threshold is quite high.
Huang Qiang worked in the news media industry for his entire life, but failed from the beginning and had to turn to being an entertainment reporter. He didn't win any awards, but many people in the entertainment industry called him a paparazzi.
Now that Lin Shuyue has received this honor, no matter whether she can win the award in the end, it is enough for Huang Qiang to be envious.
Li Weisheng and several other reporters who happened to be in the newspaper office also came over. Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, they all congratulated Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue was also very happy. After thanking all her colleagues, she filled out the form. Lin Shuyue's recommenders were Wang Mingzheng and Zhang Xiongfeng, director of the city station's news department.
After Wang Mingzheng read the form submitted by Lin Shuyue, he called the postman of the postal company, and the postman soon came to take the express delivery away in person.
The nomination for the Top Ten Young Journalists Award was a brilliant achievement in one's career, so Huang Qiang and others asked Lin Shuyue to treat them. Lin Shuyue had money in her hands and was not worried, so she agreed immediately.
There were a group of people, including more than ten people from other departments who came to join in the fun. They all went to the nearby food stalls, ordered dishes, barbecue, and a few bottles of beer. They sat at a table made up of three or four tables, talking loudly, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.
Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang were concentrating on eating, while Li Weisheng sat next to Li Mingfang, always paying attention to Li Mingfang's needs.
Li Mingfang really enjoyed Li Weisheng's thoughtfulness. Lin Shuyue couldn't bear to watch: "You two should order more, we still have so many singles here."
Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng looked at each other, and Li Mingfang raised her face: "Then you should find a boyfriend quickly."
Li Weisheng was also very mean. He peeled a boiled shrimp and put it into Li Mingfang's bowl, and dipped it in soy sauce himself.
The young man from the art editing team who was sitting opposite the two men had just put down his chopsticks and couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his glass to toast Li Weisheng. Li Weisheng had just drunk a glass and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when another person came.
After drinking five cups in a row, the one who was fed up with the two finally let Li Weisheng go. At this time, Li Weisheng's cheeks were already red, which made Li Mingfang feel distressed. The two of them huddled together and whispered.
The dinner lasted until 9:30 in the evening. Lin Shuyue had drunk some wine and did not drive. She took a taxi to the alley entrance of her home and then walked back.
There is a dark section of road without street lights from the entrance of the alley to the house. Lin Shuyue had just taken a few steps when her good and evil discrimination system automatically popped up. The good and evil radar interface showed that there were at least seven people lying in ambush nearby, and their good and evil values were between 20% and 40%.
Lin Shuyue didn't drink much to begin with. When she took the taxi just now, she didn't ask the driver to turn on the air conditioner. She was blown by the wind all the way, and her drunkenness had almost been blown away by the wind. She kept walking and moved the bag on her back to her chest.
Lin Shuyue walked to the middle of the dark alley, and the men who had been ambushing on both sides ran out. Lin Shuyue was prepared, and when one of them ran in front of her, she hit him with a brick. When the brick touched the man, the stun skill was automatically activated. Lin Shuyue took advantage of this time and hit him with another brick, and the first man fell straight down.
Lin Shuyue dodged the machete that was coming at her, spun around flexibly, and looked for every opportunity to hit people. She became more and more skilled in using the brick. After fighting for more than ten minutes, half of the men were knocked down. The remaining few stood three or five steps away from her with machetes in their hands. Every time Lin Shuyue took a step forward, they took a step back. Lin Shuyue's eyes passed through them and fell on the alley.
The good and evil radar showed that there was another person in the alley.
Lin Shuyue didn't have to wait long before the person who had been hiding in the alley came out. She was holding a nunchaku in her hand, wearing flat shoes and jeans, and had delicate makeup on. But from the moment she showed up, Lin Shuyue knew who she was.
Sun Xiaoxia, who had just asked He Yuling in the afternoon about the woman between her and Jiang Xinxin, was He Yuling's good friend and playmate since childhood.
"I've heard of you for a long time, reporter Lin." As a member of the Great Jinglun Sect's intelligence team, Sun Xiaoxia had always keep Lin Shuyue in her sight since she first exposed the Internet addiction school. After that, Lin Shuyue reported many things one after another, and almost every one of them was a major event.
As a woman, Sun Xiaoxia particularly admired Lin Shuyue, and she even thought about recruiting Lin Shuyue into the church. Letting Lu Shuli's family move to the opposite side of Lin Shuyue's house was also intended to monitor Lin Shuyue through Huang Sanhua or Lu Shuli's eyes.
After all, their Pengcheng branch is planning to make a big move throughout the month of October, and these reporters are like rats in a ditch, extremely annoying.
Feng Suqing was sent to the Public Security Bureau by Lin Shuyue, but she could not hide it from Sun Xiaoxia. From the time she received the news in the morning till now, Sun Xiaoxia has scolded Lu Shuli and his mother more than once, saying that they are such wastes. They couldn't grasp the opportunity even if they were given one!
Tomorrow is National Day, the day they open their church, and the great day when their Pengcheng branch spreads its wings and determination across the country. She will not allow anyone to sabotage it, let alone allow the saboteurs to come from the people she is watching!
"Secretary Sun, I didn't expect to know you only in the afternoon and meet you in the evening." After graduating from school, Sun Xiaoxia worked as the secretary of the director of an electronics factory in Pengcheng.
Sun Xiaoxia likes the title of secretary very much, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, she wants to keep Lin Shuyue here tonight.
"I heard that reporter Lin is very good at kung fu. Today, I want to learn a lesson from him." After Sun Xiaoxia finished speaking, she attacked while waving her nunchaku.
Compared with the rest of the mob who were showing off their skills with machetes but actually had no skills or martial arts skills at all, Sun Xiaoxia had a certain foundation in martial arts and used the nunchaku with great vigor.
Lin Shuyue was dodging with all her might. Her weapon, the brick, was useful but had one drawback: it was too short and not as convenient to use as the nunchaku.
In a blink of an eye, the two had fought for six or seven rounds. The sound of their fight attracted the attention of the people nearby. One of them climbed to the roof and saw that the person fighting was Lin Shuyue. He was shocked and immediately went back to the room to call Lou Fengqin.
Lou Fengqin was watching TV when she heard the news that her daughter was blocked in the alley and beaten. She grabbed a broom and rushed outside. Bai Wenhua also heard it and immediately ran out. Lin Shuyang and the other children looked at each other and ran after her.
The whole family ran hurriedly through the street. More and more people along the way opened their doors to watch the fun. Sun Xiaoxia's face became darker and her attacks became heavier.
Lin Shuyue seized the opportunity and threw a brick at Sun Xiaoxia's head. Her brick seemed to have eyes, and Sun Xiaoxia couldn't dodge it and was knocked to the ground.
At this time, Lou Fengqin also came with a broom. Seeing the four people lying on the ground, and then looking at the two thugs holding the shining machetes, she was shocked and angry. Bai Wenhua rushed over in a few steps and took the knives out of their hands.
Lou Fengqin raised the broom and hit them: "I told you not to hit my daughter. I told you not to hit my daughter."
Lin Shuyang got a rope from a nearby house and helped Bai Wenhua to tie up all the people who had fainted on the ground.
Lin Shuyue watched this scene and finally had time to call the police.
No one answered when she called Wu Dongyan's, nor when she called Ye Xueyu. Hang Jiabai's phone rang twice before someone picked up. As soon as the call was connected, the news that Hang Jiabai brought shocked Lin Shuyue.
"Lin Ji, Central Garden, a dozen people have collectively set themselves on fire here, and there have been more than one such case." [TL Note: The Ji that is used in 'Lin Ji' is a suffix indicating respect, familiarity, or sometimes a connection to a particular family or business.]
