After the patriarch finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chengrui and asked, “What do you think, Chengrui?”
“I heard that the county needed manpower for paving the road.” Gu Chengrui replied.
Punishing them in the open wasn’t appropriate, so it was better to hand them over to the authorities and then think of a way to do so in private.
After hearing this, the patriarch was slightly unwilling to accept his advice. He a.s.sumed they were simply used to being on the short end of the stick, which was why Gu Chengrui gave this advice. He didn’t think too deeply about it.
“Chengrui, reattach his arm for me,” he said with a sigh.
“Alright.” Gu Chengrui agreed and walked over, deliberately using brute force to put his arm back in place.
“Argh, ah!” Lin Dong screamed twice and fainted.
…..
The patriarch snorted coldly and stepped forward to kick his b.a.l.l.s. Lin Dong woke up again from the pain.
However, the pain was so intense this time that he couldn’t even faint. In just a moment, his face was as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead. His body was curled up like a shrimp, bending forward greatly.
When the six other thugs who followed him saw this, they were so scared that their faces turned white and none dared speak up.
“Alright, take them to the county’s officials now. I’ll treat everyone to a meal when you all come back.” The patriarch nodded in satisfaction.
His daughter had suffered so much, and he had no place to vent the anger. Now that they came to his door, how could he swallow this anger and not teach them a good lesson?
As for their revenge, an old man like him wasn’t afraid of that. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of being a father.
The group immediately escorted the hooligans to town.
As for Lin Dong, who was in so much pain that he couldn’t walk, someone just went forward and dragged him away.
This made it even more painful for him—so painful that Lin Dong cried the whole way. But, of course, no one sympathized with him.
When they arrived at the county’s officials, Gu Chengrui immediately accompanied the patriarch to look for County Mayor Kong and told him about the matter.
County Mayor Kong slammed the table when he heard the news. “What? Did someone actually cross over counties and towns to kidnap someone? Does he think that our Yunhe County’s governance is dead?”
“This commoner pays his respects to County Mayor Kong. 1 beg of you to seek justice for my daughter.” The patriarch kneeled and kowtowed.
At the same time, the tears he had been holding back for so long finally flowed.
He hated Lin Dong. He hated that heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.d and himself for being blind because he had married his daughter to him.
However, the Gu family now had neither money nor power, so they could only silently accept it.
County Mayor Kong’s heart ached at the sight of the elder’s tears. It wasn’t hard to see that he was a loving father.
“Uncle Gu, please get up,” he said. “1’11 handle this matter impartially.”
“Thank you, thank you, Mayor Kong. 1’11 send an honest and upright plaque to the county government.”
“Don’t, don’t. This is what 1 should do. Just wait for the news.”
“We’ll be troubling you then. It’s getting late, so we’ll be going back now.” After Gu
Chengrui finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed. He helped the patriarch out after saying their goodbyes.
County Mayor Kong accompanied them out of the building, then turned around and called for guards to bring those criminals over. The interrogation began immediately.
However, as soon as the Gu family left, Lin Dong and the others’ att.i.tudes immediately changed.
They knew the Gu family wouldn’t let them off easily for what they had done. Therefore, they did not dare to mess around while in the hands of the Gu family.
However, being with the mayor was different. County Mayor Kong was an official and had no relationship with Gu Ziyi, so Lin Dong thought they would be fine with their backing.
“1’11 have to trouble you to find us a doctor first,” Lin Dong said directly.
Although he was asking for help, his att.i.tude wasn’t respectful at all..
