The production brigade had a dedicated meeting place for its cadres. The room was a decent size and didn't feel crowded even with over a dozen people inside.
The brigade leader was the first to walk in. A cadre brought in Lin Jiandong and his wife, the two child traffickers, and behind them came Gu Jiaojiao, Leng Yuan, Sweet Girl, and Xiao Yang. They all entered.
The gawking villagers who had followed along also tried to push their way inside.
The brigade leader immediately blocked them.
"Alright, stop pushing! Anyone not involved, stay outside!"
Chen Beiguo let those involved in the matter stay and shooed everyone else out.
Unwilling to leave, the onlookers crowded around the windows to peer inside.
Chen Beiguo paid them no mind. His icy gaze landed directly on Lin Jiandong, who was shivering from the cold.
There was no stove in the meeting room. While it was warmer than being outside, the room was still cold.
