Chapter 66 Rumors
The steel company is booming, but all of this seems to have nothing to do with Leng Bing Han anymore.
A secret can't be kept forever, although Leng Binghan and Leng Yunying tried their best to hide it, Li Huanfen still didn't know about Leng Binghan's kidnapping. It wasn't strange, though - all the military police were mobilized that day, making such a big commotion, and Leng Binghan only returned home with Leng Yunying at 10 pm, which would make anyone suspicious. Moreover, as the mayor's wife, who would dare to intentionally hide anything from her?
When she learned that Leng Bing Han was kidnapped because of Leng Yun Yi's relationship, Li Xuan Fen was shocked and frightened. She hugged Leng Bing Han and burst into tears, scolding Leng Yun Yi while crying, blaming him for the whole thing and involving the child. Although Li Xuan Fen is usually gentle and soft-spoken, when she gets angry, even Leng Yun Yi, the mayor, has to retreat and admit his mistakes repeatedly. Leng Bing Han couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly, thinking that if the officials outside saw the normally stern and powerful mayor in this state, they would be stunned.
Li Yuanfen is a typical rural housewife, who has not spent many years in school and does not understand grand principles, but she truly embodies the model of a housewife. She takes care of household chores, supports her husband, educates their children, and takes care of her parents-in-law with meticulous attention to detail, demonstrating exceptional virtue and beauty. She is widely recognized as an excellent daughter-in-law, wife, and mother.
As a result, although her status has been rising with Leng Yun's promotion, she doesn't need to show up in person to get things done, but she has always adhered to her duties without any extra thoughts. She just does her best as Leng Yun's virtuous wife and occasionally provides some financial assistance to her natal family when they are in need, never hinting or asking Leng Yun or others for extra favors.
It is said that the emperor loves his eldest son, and the common people love their youngest child. Leng Zhengxiang and Leng Zhenglin are much older, so naturally, Leng Binghan is her treasure and darling. Now, Leng Binghan has been kidnapped, although she was rescued safely, but what if something unexpected happens... Li Yufen didn't dare to think about it anymore, just thinking about it made her feel chilled to the bone, dizzy and frightened.
She tightly hugged Leng Bing Xuan, refusing to let go, fearing that if she did, something bad would happen to him. That night, she even drove Leng Yun Yi out of Leng Bing Xuan's room and insisted on sleeping with him herself. Leng Yun Yi was in the wrong and couldn't argue with Li Huan Fen, so he reluctantly left. Although Leng Bing Xuan wasn't used to still sharing a bed with his mother at his age, her deep maternal love still moved him greatly.
Seeing his mother's tears and seeing how much she cared about him, he even blamed himself. If only he had known earlier, he would have directly captured the kidnappers and his family wouldn't have been so worried. He never thought that if it were really like that, how could a 10-year-old child explain how he single-handedly captured four wanted kidnappers?
That night, in the warmth of her mother's arms, she slept soundly and sweetly, with a hint of a sweet smile still on her lips, and slept until dawn.
In the following days, Li Xuanfen refused to let Leng Bingxue go out, insisting that he stay at home and accompany her, worried that something would happen if he went out. Leng Yunyi had no choice but to call Leng Bingxue's class teacher to ask for leave on his behalf. Although Li Xuanfen reacted strongly to the matter, she still helped the father-son duo hide it from their grandmother and Leng Zhenglin, not wanting them to worry or be distressed, especially since the whole thing was still under wraps for the sake of maintaining stability and solving the case.
To make Li Yuafen feel at ease, Leng Bingxue also happened to be resting well at home for a few days, treating it as a holiday for himself. Either accompanying his grandmother or helping his mother with household chores, he was enjoying the warmth of family life. However, he didn't isolate himself from the outside world and stayed in touch with Zhu Jianjun through phone calls, understanding that things were developing in the direction he had expected, so he felt relieved.
Not only that, he also asked Zhu Jianjun to help him with a few things. First of all, he had the two mother and daughter's remains buried in a thick burial, although their souls had gone to the underworld, these remaining bones were meaningless, but they were buried in peace, which was considered to be slightly fulfilling his wishes.
Zhu Jianjun, on the other hand, spared no expense. He scattered a large sum of money and quickly found a so-called auspicious burial site with good feng shui. He also invited a group of monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals for the deceased. The coffins and tombs were all of the highest quality, and the funeral procession was grandiose. The extravagance of the funeral was unprecedented in Changfu Prefecture. It was all thanks to the reputation of Fei Yuan Company and the confirmation of his identity by local government officials that they believed he was genuinely willing to help them with the funeral arrangements, otherwise, it would have been hard for them to understand why he was so enthusiastic about helping them, and spent so much money on it.
After the funeral, facing the relatives of the two mothers and daughters, Zhu Jianjun proposed to take Xu Wei to Changfu to study, and have Feiyuan Company sponsor all her living and studying expenses in Changfu. This is naturally the second thing that Leng Yihan asked him to do, which is to fulfill his mother's entrustment, find her eldest daughter Xu Wei, and first give her a good living and learning environment.
Of course, this is not the final consideration of Leng Bing Han. Although it has reached this point, it is enough to fulfill the mother's entrustment. However, Leng Bing Han still feels that it is far from enough. No matter how good the economic environment is, it cannot compare to a good family environment with complete and perfect love to truly grow up healthily. He wants to try his best to persuade his parents to adopt this poor child and treat her as his own sister with care and concern. His parents have always liked girls, but since they have three sons at home, he believes they will definitely like this child too.
But now it's clearly not the best time, how did I know about these things when I've been stuck at home since being rescued? I'm not just a ten-year-old kid, but also a reborn person, how could I make such a low-level mistake with loopholes everywhere?
Of course, even the most powerful reborn person has things he doesn't know about. Zhu Jianjun helped him with these two things, not only did he knock on his door for 100,000 yuan, but also earned a good reputation in the local area for doing good deeds. If it weren't for Zhu Jianjun's repeated attempts to stop them, the local government and media were prepared to make a big report on this, even preparing the manuscript with the title: "Pitiful Orphan Girl Loses Family, Fei Yuan Company's Full Representative Mr. Zhu Jianjun Makes a Big Donation in Changfu". This made Cold Ice Han find out later and immediately call to threaten Zhu Jianjun, who was far away in R city, as punishment for this, the promised 1 billion yuan villa was reduced by half to 500 million yuan. Scared, Zhu Jianjun repeatedly apologized and self-criticized, only then did Cold Ice Han's anger seem to subside.
Although the police and government have been blocking the news, there is no wall that can completely prevent leaks. The more they try to block the news, the more curious people become, and the more rumors spread. People are eager to hear about it and enjoy speculating. Before long, stories began circulating on the streets about the mayor's son being kidnapped, a mysterious hero appearing, fighting against the kidnappers, and rescuing the mayor's son. Even in street alleys and markets, people were talking about it, connecting it to the unusual large-scale deployment of military police some time ago. Most people who heard the story believed it to be true.
Of course, apart from a very small number of people within the system and those who have had contact with Leng Bingxue, who are more concerned about Leng Bingxue's kidnapping, others seem to be more interested in that black knight. The most widely spread rumor is also about this non-existent black knight.
Many people were like they were on the scene at that time, saying it was with a board and eyes, godly. The battle scene was completely comparable to those in martial arts films. Even the move where Hei Xiaoyu killed Dao Henchou had several versions, some said it was the "Kanglong Youhui" from the "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms", others said it was the "Qixiaquan" from the "Seven Injuries Fist", and some even said it was the "Borrowing Power to Strike Power" from the Wudang Taiji... The arguments were endless, and they split into several factions, each expressing their own views and engaging in fierce debates.
However, in everyone's mind, this dark knight is an all-powerful hero who rids the world of evil and brings peace to the good. They also believe that this hero is hiding among them, guarding their happiness and tranquility, and will emerge as soon as evil occurs.
Those who have done shameful things and taken the wrong path are also worried, fearing that they will provoke the black knight. Being caught by the police is at most a few days in jail, and some people even take this as capital for mixing on the road, just like going abroad to make money, completely carefree, not ashamed, but proud. But if you're unlucky enough to run into this black knight, that guy is ruthless, dead or alive, it doesn't matter, he's already got several lives on his hands, one more won't make a difference.
It's understandable that people have such thoughts. On the one hand, those who died were extremely evil and their deaths would only be met with applause. On the other hand, due to the existence of some unjust phenomena in society, ordinary people lack effective channels for appeal and a sense of security to safeguard their rights. Under this mindset and context, it's natural for them to yearn for a hero like this to emerge, regardless of whether the hero is real or not, at least giving them a glimmer of hope.
Actually, Ling Bing Han did not want such a hero to appear. The existence of such a hero means that there are unfair and unjust phenomena in this society. However, it is frustrating that this seems to be an inevitable and unstoppable byproduct of social development, just like the dust that always exists in the sunlight of this world.
This time, Leng Bing Xue inadvertently played a heroic dark knight, but this role is only occasionally appearing once or twice, he doesn't have the interest to play it for long. Firstly, he has money, power and influence, when encountering problems, he doesn't need to resort to such extreme measures unless absolutely necessary. Secondly, he also doesn't have so much time to play such a dark hero, like Spider-Man and Batman in American blockbusters, who seem to appear wherever there's an emergency, completely losing themselves. China is so big, with many possible problems, even gods can't handle it all, let alone him.
However, Han Bing was still enthusiastic about letting Zhu Jianjun purchase some clothes and equipment through various channels to install in the Ling Yu Jiezi. Who knows when the Black Knight would appear again, it could be useful at that time. Last time there were fewer people, and most of the time he was in the shadows, even Ah Long, who had been let go by him, couldn't see himself clearly. If it were daytime, with many onlookers, without these disguises to conceal his identity and true face, it would be really inconvenient.
Zhu Jianjun is the only person in this world who knows that Leng Bingxue is Hei Xia, and he has even called him to tease him after hearing rumors from outside. This time, he helped Leng Bingxue prepare these things, and it was also a waste of thought, not only did he personally take action, but also dispatched many people, who came back one after another to purchase and assemble the final product, which was completed by Zhu Jianjun himself. This is all thanks to Zhu Jianjun's poor family background in the past, his mother fell ill, and he had to rely on himself to take care of himself, so he learned how to sew, although not very well, but what he made was also similar to the real thing.
