Chapter 1476: Let's Hope We Are Overthinking It

The people who had followed along, upon hearing Regiment Commander Ye's words, immediately cried out in fright: "We just came over to help seek justice; nothing has even been said yet, how can you lock us up?"

The leading couple exchanged a glance; the woman sat directly on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing: "This makes life impossible! My son, such a good child, is gone just like that. If you hadn't saved the children from the family compound first, how could my son have just disappeared?"

Seeing no one come to persuade her, her heart began to beat nervously; she secretly glanced around, and when she saw no one coming to persuade her, her raised hand was neither down nor up, her expression quite comical.

At this moment, the comrades from the town police station who had received the report also arrived: "Make way, make way, what has happened?"

Several public security comrades came over and saw Regiment Commander Ye and Division Commander Guan and others, and hurriedly went up to shake hands and exchange greetings.

After finishing the greetings, one of the older public security comrades then asked: "Let someone speak; what exactly is going on here?"

Regiment Commander Ye was at the scene that day, and he was the one who handled it at the time; he recounted the events of that day: "The situation is exactly this: at that time, several children from the family compound, in order to save their son, almost lost their lives.

They had not the slightest remorse, and afterwards did not come to express thanks; of course, since their son is gone, we can all understand this, but they should never have turned the tables and blamed the death of their son on our soldier, who died while making the last rescue attempt. If everyone acted like them, who would dare to save people in the future?

Moreover, that child was farthest from the shore at the time. The two young comrades who went down to rescue people, after saving the two closest children, had one of them turn around and head straight for their son. Furthermore, after coming up, everyone immediately began rescue efforts, but ultimately could not save him; everyone is quite regretful.

No one wishes to see such a thing, but as parents, your failure to take care of your child is the root cause of this tragedy; how can you have the face to blame the rescuers?"

The public security comrades saw that the couple had no words to refute, so they understood everything in their hearts.

Just as they were preparing to take the people back to the police station, the Party Secretary and the Brigade Commander of Baifu Village ran over hurriedly: "All leaders, comrades from the public security, truly sorry; it is also our failure to do our work well, letting these few who know nothing come running over."

As the Party Secretary spoke, he kicked the person involved: "Day after day you only think of beautiful things; why don't you hurry up and apologize to the leaders and comrades?"

Seeing that person not move: "What, do you want to squat in the bamboo enclosure for a few days?"

The woman now also knew fear and dared not act out any longer; seeing the man step forward to apologize, she quickly got up from the ground: "I was wrong too; I shouldn't have listened to others' words and come over to cause trouble."

Next, the Party Secretary and the Village Head apologized profusely; only after Division Commander Guan signaled did Regiment Commander Ye soften his stance.

Seeing that the military side would not pursue the matter, the public security side gave a few words of education before letting them leave.

After the Party Secretary and Village Head of Baifu Village led the people away, Division Commander Guan looked at those public security comrades: "I feel the matter might not be that simple; the reason I didn't bring it up just now was to avoid alerting the snake."

At this time, Regiment Commander Ye continued: "Originally, it was resolved by the riverside that day; unexpectedly, a few days later, this family came looking again. If no one had instigated them, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to come to the military unit to cause trouble."

The older public security comrade nodded slightly: "Our thoughts are the same; we will have someone change into plain clothes and follow over to see what the situation is; let's hope we are overthinking it."
