Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Fight it Out with Her

"Everyone quiet down—"

A clear and cold voice pierced through the crowd, and the noisy entrance instantly fell silent.

The villagers of Qin Family Village and the employees of Xiyang Food Factory recognized Lin Chuxia’s voice and their eyes lit up.

"Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin is here."

"Mr. Lin, don’t be afraid, this is Qin Family Village. If outsiders want to run wild here, they’ll have to reckon with Lord Ma first."

"That’s right, rest assured Mr. Lin, we will definitely not let them get away with this."

"Bullying Xiyang, bullying Mr. Lin, we are willing to fight to the death to seek justice for Mr. Lin."

One by one, they were as if injected with adrenalin, seemingly waiting for Lin Chuxia’s command.

Following behind Lin Chuxia, the village chief scolded, "Reckless. Who told you to risk your lives? Do you really think your lives are that valuable? I’m telling you, if you go and risk your lives now, that’s the real harm to Mr. Lin."

The village chief was also a bit scared at this moment.

He called the villagers over to unite against the outsiders, but he did not anticipate the people from the Old Food Factory would be so extreme.

Just a moment ago, he was shouting himself hoarse from the back, fearing that a fight would break out.

The villagers of Qin Family Village really wanted to ask the village chief, wasn’t calling them over to support Mr. Lin the very point?

Isn’t the most direct way to support someone by giving the bullies a good beating?

But seeing the calm face of the village chief, they swallowed their words and turned their gaze towards Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia first thanked the elders and fellow villagers; no matter what, she could not let these people, who firmly stood by her side, feel disheartened.

"These people are clearly here to cause trouble at Xiyang, and if we really start fighting with them, that’s falling right into their trap. Believe me, there will be a better solution to this matter."

Hearing Lin Chuxia’s words, the people from the Old Food Factory secretly exchanged glances, their expressions changing.

Someone shouted in the crowd, "Don’t listen to her, folks. This woman is the person in charge of Xiyang Food Factory, it’s her who’s cutting off our livelihood, stealing business from the Old Food Factory. She’s making our lives difficult, so let’s not make it easy for her either."

"Right, let’s fight her."

Someone stepped forward, ready to throw punches. Naturally, the people from Qin Family Village and Xiyang Food Factory would not let these individuals lay a hand on Lin Chuxia.

Qin Jianjun, Qin Wu, Su Wensong, and others stepped in front of Lin Chuxia without hesitation.

Su Wensong shouted loudly, "I am the factory manager of Xiyang Food Factory. If you have any grievances, address them to me."

But at this moment, with the crowds surging, whatever he shouted was as if unheard by those people.

Two sturdy men even reached out to pull and tug at Su Wensong.

The people from Qin Family Village and Xiyang Food Factory believed in Lin Chuxia’s words; these people were just here to cause trouble and should not be provoked.

It was just that they didn’t want to fight, but the people from the Old Food Factory would not let them go.

Just then, someone shouted, "The police are here, stop fighting, the police are here..."

It would have been better not to shout that. With that call, the crowd turned even more chaotic, as if they were waiting just for this moment.

Amid the shoving, someone swung a punch, and the punched person, unable to control himself, fought back.

Su Wensong was dragged away, and someone lunged towards Lin Chuxia.

Qin Jianjun saw that someone was trying to hit his fourth auntie and instantly got fired up, clenched his fists, and met the attacker...

Originally, the number of people coming from the Old Food Factory wasn’t as great as the Qin Family Village’s villagers and Xiyang Food Factory’s employees, but initially, it was only the employees of the two food factories facing off, with the villagers of Qin Family Village on the outskirts.

Because of what Lin Chuxia said, they were also more cautious, and with the arrival of the police officers, the villagers had not expected a fight to break out right then, and they were momentarily caught off guard.

The shrill sound of a whistle rang out, and a police officer shouted, "Stop fighting, everyone stop."

The people from Xiyang Food Factory thought they were in the right; some of them stopped fighting, while those tangled up with the other side tried to push the opponents away.

But the people from the Old Food Factory seemed red-eyed with anger and ignored the calls to stop.

As a result, the people from Xiyang Food Factory ended up getting a few more gratuitous blows.

The police officers, seeing that their orders were ineffective, stepped forward to apprehend people.

"Why are you arresting me? I am an employee of Xiyang Food Factory, it’s them causing trouble at the factory’s entrance."

"I’m from Xiyang Food Factory, I didn’t fight."

"Enough chatter, whether you fought or not, we’ll discuss it inside."

Seeing the police officers really make their move, the crowd scattered.

After all, only a few police officers had come, and before they could apprehend more people, everyone had run off.

Looking at the people they had under control, Lin Chuxia’s brows furrowed.

She had already seen that the leading police officer was the same one who had maintained order at the Bun Shop; she had inquired and learned that he was called Shi Wei, a squad captain.

Back at the Bun Shop, because of Shi Wei’s obvious bias, Lin Chuxia had sought out Sun Hao, wanting to get some information.

She didn’t expect that before Sun Hao replied, another incident occurred at the food factory, and the person who appeared was again Shi Wei.

She stepped forward to block them, her cold gaze clearly displeased, "Captain Shi, don’t you think your way of handling the case is a bit unfair? Apprehending people without a clear understanding of the situation is too hasty, isn’t it?"

Shi Wei, seeing that it was Lin Chuxia, replied with a smile, "Mr. Lin, wasn’t it your side that called the police? And you saw it yourself, if we didn’t step in to arrest people, this large-scale brawl would have had unimaginable consequences."

"Sure, you say that, but Captain Shi, why is it that after all the arrests, they all seem to be from Xiyang Food Factory?"

The people Shi Wei brought along had arrested seven or eight individuals, but they were all from Xiyang Food Factory.

If the bias shown by Shi Wei at the Bun Shop was because he couldn’t catch the other party red-handed, today’s incident was all too obvious.

However, Shi Wei appeared completely oblivious, turning his head to look at those individuals.

"Is that so? Mr. Lin, if you think this constitutes an unfair handling of the case by our officers, that’s a great injustice to us. You saw the chaos at the scene; we were just arresting people, not differentiating. But don’t worry, these people will only be taken in for investigation, and if there’s no problem, they will certainly be released."

The village chief was also frowning, unaware of the original incident, but seeing that the apprehended were from Xiyang Food Factory and included villagers from his village, he too stood on Lin Chuxia’s side.

"Officer, I am the village chief of Qin Family Village. This incident occurred in our village; just talk to me for the investigation, let the people go first."

Shi Wei shook his head with a smile, "I’m afraid that won’t work. They engaged in fighting, and since there was a police report, we have to investigate thoroughly."

"But you can’t just investigate our people, right? It was clearly the people from the Old Food Factory who came here causing trouble. You should arrest them."

"We’d like to arrest them too, but due to our limited manpower, they have all run away. However, village chief, rest assured, after we conduct a thorough investigation, we will surely give you a satisfactory response."
