Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Lingxi went to the police station to explain the situation and came back.

The two police officers who received him were very enthusiastic about him when they heard that he was Daheis owner. Daheis story had spread around the neighbourhood, and from time to time people came to the shop to look for Dahei when they bought flowers. After listening to Lu Lingxis account of what happened, both policemen reassured him that nothing was wrong with the shop and that it was just an ordinary dispute. If the tall man had not shouted that someone had been poisoned and Lu Lingxi had not mentioned the unspoken rules of the industry, the police would not have taken it so seriously. If the poisoned flowers were only made by the tall man to blackmail Lu Lingxi, it would be fine, but if they were really circulating in the market, it would not be a trivial matter, and the root cause needed to be investigated strictly.

After sending Lu Lingxi away, the police began to question the tall man. When the police looked like they were really serious, the tall man immediately gave an explanation. They had really been ordered to sully the reputation of Tiny Garden. However, the other party just gave them the plant smeared with the brightener. It was the two of them who added dichlorvos. They thought that Lu Lingxi was young and hadnt seen much, so he would be easy to scare. They put some dichlorvos on top of the brightener in order to blackmail him for more money.

The police were relieved to hear that this kind of poisonous flowers were not in circulation in the market. They then called and spoke to Lu Lingxi, asking him if he had offended anyone. The police didnt know how to control such things, so they could only tell Lu Lingxi to watch out for himself. If the other party really wanted to tarnish the reputation of Tiny Garden, they must have arranged for more than just one group of people, and they might come back again every few days. If anything happened, Lu Lingxi could always call the police. They would also help Lu Lingxi to keep an eye on it.

After thanking the police, Lu Lingxi hung up the phone and thought about what the police said about offending people. The only person he had offended was Lu Hongxin. But Lu Hongxin was still under arrest; so who else was there but Lu Hongxin?

Tiger and Erfei stayed at Tiny Garden. They saw that Lu Lingxi had hung up the phone and came over, “Little boss, is everything alright?”

Lu Lingxi nodded, quite grateful to the two. He often saw the two at the small restaurant and knew that they were Brother Fengs men. But because of his prejudice against Brother Feng, he hadnt spoken to them much. He didnt expect them to stand up for him when something happened, so Lu Lingxi was a bit embarrassed.
