CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: DON’T LET THEM LOSE HEART

Entering the private room, Lin Xiaoyan saw Kong Xi, who had arrived at some unknown time, along with another man.

The ashtray in front of Kong Xi was filled with cigarette butts.

His expression looked bad, showing a mixture of worry and anger.

"Hello, I’m Li Mo from the Criminal Investigation Unit."

"Hello, Yang Lin."

Yang Lin greeted Li Mo and introduced himself.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Li Mo, following behind Yang Lin, softly saying, "Hello, I’m..."

Li Mo smiled, "I know you, Xiao Lin!"

Lin Xiaoyan awkwardly smiled and then looked at Kong Xi beside her.

Kong Xi saw Yang Lin and nodded at him, then looked eagerly at Lin Xiaoyan.

"I’m counting on you."

He reached out his hand.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the hand in front of her, said nothing more, and gently touched his fingertips.

Kong Xi nervously stared at Lin Xiaoyan, watching her expression.

Lin Xiaoyan’s expression changed as she "saw" the scene of Kong Xi returning home.

A group of people was in his home, chatting with worried faces.

When Kong Xi returned, everyone’s complexion in the room changed drastically.

The next scene was Kong Xi quarreling with those people, one person started the fight, and then everyone joined in.

Kong Xi and those people fought...

The final scene was of broken chairs, shattered glass shards, debris all over the floor, and a pool of blood with chaotic bloody footprints...

After Lin Xiaoyan described these scenes, Kong Xi’s face looked extremely grim.

Yang Lin looked serious, watching Kong Xi and asking what happened at his home.

Li Mo was recording what Lin Xiaoyan had just said.

Kong Xi took a deep breath, and said coldly, "My sister was bullied and attempted suicide at noon today."

Lin Xiaoyan gasped, looking at Kong Xi.

"However, my mom found her and rushed her to the hospital for resuscitation, she’s saved now."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she was saved.

Kong Xi looked at them, his gaze firm, "I must go back."

Li Mo thought for a moment, then looked at Kong Xi, "Did you report your sister’s matter to the police?"

Kong Xi shook his head, "No, my family’s relatives... huh."

Thinking of those people, a mocking expression appeared on Kong Xi’s face.

"My sister was driven to suicide by those people.

Since I’ve... disappeared, they’ve been bullying my family.

Over time, my sister, who was originally cheerful and lively, became introverted and silent.

She wouldn’t tell anyone when bullied at school.

Until this time..."

As he spoke, Kong Xi regretfully cradled his head, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

When he chose this path, he was determined!

When facing life and death, he never regretted!

Even when he knew he was going to die, he didn’t regret.

But now, seeing his family bullied to this extent, he...

Kong Xi didn’t want to say he regretted, but inside, he was angry, pained, and guilty.

Yang Lin comforted Kong Xi, telling him, "Don’t worry, the country will help you resolve this matter."

He looked at Li Mo, "Kong Xi’s experiences and contributions over the years, I’m sure you’re more aware than anyone else.

I also believe, the country won’t let down Kong Xi and comrades like him.

His family, I hope you can report truthfully."

"If this matter isn’t resolved, I believe not only Kong Xi but countless comrades will be disheartened."

Hearing this, Li Mo realized the gravity of the situation.

A mishandled resolution could lead to irrevocable consequences.

Li Mo stood up and looked at Kong Xi, "Comrade Kong Xi, please be patient and don’t go home tonight. I’ll report this matter now, and you’ll get a satisfactory answer by tomorrow!"

Li Mo promised.

Yang Lin also tried to persuade.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Kong Xi and then at Li Mo, opening her mouth to speak but not knowing how to comfort and persuade, so she closed her mouth again.

She felt she was better suited to being in the background.

Kong Xi hesitated for a few minutes, head down, while Li Mo quietly waited nearby.

"Fine, if there’s no response by tomorrow, I’ll handle this in my own way!"

Kong Xi’s eyes gleamed with a self-destructive resolve, "Anyway, I should have died long ago."

Hearing Kong Xi’s words, Li Mo felt even more uneasy, "Rest assured, you will get a response."

After discussing with Kong Xi, Li Mo left, their expressions grim as they departed.

In the private room were left Yang Lin and Lin Xiaoyan, who felt a bit heavy-hearted at this moment.

She felt sad for Kong Xi.

But didn’t know what to say.

Yang Lin pressed a button to call a waiter to order food.

"What do you want to eat?"

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, looking at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s angry face, feeling that every time he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking.

"Don’t be angry, Officer Li Mo promised to resolve this matter.

Trust them, trust the country!"

Lin Xiaoyan listened to Yang Lin and hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I trust the country, but hearing that Kong Xi’s family was bullied while he wasn’t around... makes me very angry!"

Yang Lin quickly ordered several desserts, asking the waiter to serve them quickly.

After the waiter left, he slowly said, "Don’t be angry, once Kong Xi’s issue is resolved, he will seek justice for his family."

Thinking of Kong Xi’s expression earlier, Lin Xiaoyan imagined that once Kong Xi’s matter was settled, when he returned home, those people seeing him would have quite the reaction!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help but smile.

Just then, the waiter brought in the desserts.

"I ordered a few, not too many, give them a taste."

Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze immediately adhered to the delicate desserts.

She glanced at the table, seeing it was all desserts.

She looked at Yang Lin in confusion, "Did you order these?"

Yang Lin’s smile remained unchanged, "I eat desserts too."

Lin Xiaoyan widened her eyes, looking at Yang Lin with disbelief.

Generally, men don’t like sweets.

Yang Lin didn’t explain, signaling Lin Xiaoyan to hurry and eat.

Lin Xiaoyan tasted a bite of the dessert in front of her, and the moment she ate it, her eyes lit up.

"It’s so delicious!"

"If you like it, eat more. I’ll take you to try something else when there’s a chance." Yang Lin said, seeing Lin Xiaoyan enjoyed it.

Lin Xiaoyan swallowed the delicious bite, looking at Yang Lin, "I originally said I’d treat you, and you didn’t order what you wanted."

"I already had dinner, truly don’t have anything I want."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan just had to say she’d treat him to a meal next time.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly ate two of the desserts on the table, but couldn’t finish the remaining three.

Yang Lin called the waiter to pack the leftovers and sent Lin Xiaoyan home.

Once home, Lin Xiaoyan carefully took a photo of the packed desserts and placed them in the fridge.

These desserts were just so beautiful!

Not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.
