Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 696 Welcome

An hour later, a black commercial vehicle slowly drove into Linjia Village.

"Director Li, they are here!" Lin Ke recognized Director Li's car at a glance and said excitedly to the village chief.

"Let's go and welcome them." The village chief said with a smile, and then took Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin to the village entrance.

The business car stopped at the entrance of the village, and Director Li, Wang Ze and others got out of the car.

"Lin Ke! Xinxin!" Wang Ze saw his daughter and Lin Ke at a glance and ran towards them excitedly.

"Dad!" When Wang Xinxin saw her father, her nose felt sore and she couldn't help but cry. She threw herself into Wang Ze's arms.

"Xinxin, it's okay, it's okay, Daddy is here." Wang Ze hugged his daughter tightly, his eyes a little moist.

"Director Li!" Lin Ke also stepped forward and gave Director Li a big hug.

"You kid, you're finally back. Do you know how worried we were about you?" Director Li patted Lin Ke's shoulder hard, his tone full of blame and concern.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Director Li, we..." Lin Ke was about to explain but was interrupted by Director Li.

"Don't say anything for now. It's good that you're okay. It's good that you're okay." Director Li said, looking Lin Ke up and down. Seeing that he was fine except that he looked a little pale, he felt relieved.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to have made you worry." Lin Ke walked up to Wang Ze again and said apologetically.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Wang Ze looked at Lin Ke, his eyes full of gratitude, "It's really thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, Xinxin..."

Wang Ze didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind. This is what I should do." Lin Ke said quickly.

"Lin Ke, what is going on? How did you fall into the river?" Wang Ze asked impatiently in the car.

Lin Ke told Wang Ze what had happened in detail.

"What? There is such a thing?" Wang Ze was immediately filled with indignation after listening to Lin Ke's story. "This Meng Ming is so abominable!"

"Dad, please stop talking." Wang Xinxin said in a low voice, not wanting to recall that unbearable experience.

"Xinxin, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Wang Ze looked at his daughter with heartache and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Dad, it's just that the wound on my leg hasn't healed yet and it hurts a little." Wang Xinxin said.

"I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Wang Ze said, and prepared to make a phone call.

"No need, Dad. I'm really fine. I just need to rest for a while." Wang Xinxin held Wang Ze's hand and said.

"How can that be possible? What if there are any sequelae?" Wang Ze insisted.

"It's really not necessary, Dad." Wang Xinxin said, "Lin Ke is also injured, why don't you take him to the hospital first."

"I'm fine, Xinxin." Lin Ke said quickly, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

"How can that be? You saved Xinxin, I must thank you very much." Wang Ze said without allowing any explanation.

Outside Linjia Village, a large group of reporters swarmed in.

"Hurry, hurry, Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin are inside!"

“I heard they were trapped for days and there was no cell phone signal!”

"This is big news!"

Reporters carrying their cameras and guns rushed to the village, fearing they would miss some big news. Soon, the entire Linjia Village was surrounded by reporters.

"Lin Ke, are you leaving?" Uncle Lin's wife, a simple aunt, stood at the gate of the yard, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Yes, auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you this time." Lin Ke said with a smile, his eyes sincere and warm.

"What's the point of talking about trouble or not? As long as you are safe and sound." Uncle Lin waved his hands and rubbed his rough palms on his clothes to hide his inner excitement.

"Uncle Lin, Auntie, the reason I came here this time is actually to..." Lin Ke paused, took out a thin envelope from his pocket, inside of which was a bank card, and handed it to Uncle Lin, "There is 500,000 yuan in it, as a small token of my appreciation."

"Five hundred thousand?!" Uncle Lin was shocked and subconsciously drew his hands back. "I can't do this! I can't do this!"

"Uncle Lin, please accept it." Lin Ke gently placed the envelope on the table. "I know you and Auntie have always wanted to renovate the house. This money is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it."

"This..." Uncle Lin hesitated. He looked at the envelope on the table, then looked at Lin Ke's sincere eyes, struggling in his heart.

"Uncle Lin, just accept it." Wang Xinxin also came over and advised softly, "Just think of it as a way for us to thank Uncle Lin and Auntie for taking care of them during this period of time."

"Yes, Lao Lin, just accept it." The village chief also spoke up, "Lin Ke also has good intentions, so don't let him down."

Uncle Lin looked at his wife, then at everyone else, and finally nodded, then took the envelope with trembling hands.

"Lin Ke." Uncle Lin's voice was a little choked. "If you need any help in the future, just ask. We will do our best."

"Uncle Lin, you are so polite. This is what I should do." Lin Ke said with a smile.

"Lin Ke, don't worry, I will make good use of this money to repair the house so that you can live more comfortably next time you come." Uncle Lin's wife said excitedly.

"That's good, that's good." Lin Ke nodded with a smile.

Lin Ke and his group bid farewell to the simple Uncle Lin and his family, and walked towards the village entrance surrounded by the crowd.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, dispelling the haze of the past few days and illuminating the country roads.

Wang Xinxin walked a little slowly because of her leg injury, so Lin Ke slowed down and supported her carefully.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ke asked in a low voice, his eyes full of concern.

"It's okay, I'm much better." Wang Xinxin smiled slightly, her smile was a little weak, but it couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.

"It's all my fault. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have..." Lin Ke said self-reproachfully, his tone full of guilt.

"What are you talking about? We are friends. Besides, if you were in that situation, you would do the same." Wang Xinxin interrupted Lin Ke and said in a firm tone.

Lin Ke looked at Wang Xinxin and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that what Wang Xinxin said was true.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

"It's Linke, Linke is there!"

"Wang Xinxin is here too, they are really fine!"

"Quick, take pictures!"

Accompanied by bursts of shutter sounds, the flash lights kept flashing, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

It turned out that the reporters who had rushed to the scene had already surrounded the entrance to the village.

"Mr. Lin, how have you and Miss Wang been doing in the mountains these days?"
