Her face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

He looked incredibly wronged.

Su Qingzhi tilted her head, a faint smile on her lips.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Who said you did this? We just found that someone had tampered with the ridge, which is why my dad fell. Now that this has happened, we naturally want to find out what happened."

"But you, before the wind even reached your ears, you jumped out on your own initiative, reacting faster than anyone else, as if you were afraid others wouldn't know you had something to hide. Tell me, with this flustered manner, isn't it because you feel guilty?"

As she spoke, she coldly observed the other person's expression.

Is this person... really from the future?

Why is my mind so unclear?

She was initially a little worried that Su Yueyue, having transmigrated here, might come up with some new tricks using her modern intelligence.

But now I realize I was worrying too much.

There's absolutely no need to be wary; the other party is incredibly stupid.

They can't even maintain the most basic composure; they panic at the slightest disturbance.

"You were just doubting me!"

Su Yueyue gritted her teeth, her voice filled with anger.

Su Qingzhi blinked, revealing a completely innocent look.

"Oh dear, that's a harsh way to put it. When did I ever suspect you? Don't jump to conclusions. My mom asked you how you knew my dad had an accident, and you didn't answer a word."

“Our whole family is in a state of turmoil, and you're the first to get teary-eyed, looking like you've suffered a terrible injustice. Tell me, who wouldn't find that strange?”

She paused, her tone tinged with grievance and confusion.

"Now look what's happened! If we ask you a question, you get annoyed and complain that we don't trust you. If we don't ask you, you turn around and complain that we're indifferent and don't understand you. Tell me, what are we supposed to do?"

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly.

The look of grievance on his face made him more deserving of sympathy than anyone else.

Su Yueyue clenched her fists tightly.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had underestimated Su Qingzhi too much.

“I was just so worried about my dad… so I wanted to go see him as soon as possible…”

Her voice was choked with sobs.

"I really didn't think that much about it, and I didn't expect you to think this way about me... I... I was just really anxious..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhi suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Oh? I thought you were putting on a tragic act to gain sympathy."

Su Yueyue clenched her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.

This woman is just born to annoy people!

Every sentence hits the nail on the head, yet he manages to feign an understanding and considerate demeanor.

No wonder Wang Chunhua always looked at her with disgust.

Su Qingzhi appears to be well-behaved and sensible on the surface, but she is actually quite cunning behind the scenes.

I've only met her a few times.

But every time we met, I found her even more annoying than the last time.

"The village chief is here!"

A loud shout came from afar.

Su Yueyue had her mouth open, wanting to retort.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shen Wanshan running over with a look of anxiety on his face.

His family had just put their dinner on the table and were about to start eating.

Suddenly, news came that Su Mingdong's fall was not an accident, but rather that someone had deliberately disturbed the soil on the ridge of the field.

Shen Wanshan was stunned on the spot.

He didn't even bother to eat; he threw down his chopsticks and ran outside.

Shen Cunpu then stepped forward, still clutching a large lump of mud tightly in his hand.

"village head."

He said, panting.

“This clod of mud is from where Uncle Chen fell. Look at the cut; the edges are neat and the surface is smooth. It’s clearly not something that fell off naturally. Someone must have used a sharp tool like a sickle to slowly insert it into the crack in the ground and then pry it up with force to dig this clod of mud off.”

“I just checked it on the edge of the field. The shape and position of this piece of mud fit perfectly and can fill the gap just right.”

Although he has now left the factory, he was a reconnaissance soldier when he was in the army.

That keen, almost instinctive, ability to observe details is ingrained in their very being.

Even after many years, it hasn't been lost.

Coincidentally, the fields had just been drained of water, and the soil was still moist.

This piece of mud, which had been pried off by human hands, was kept in its original shape and became the most crucial piece of physical evidence.

"It really is true!"

Shen Wanshan took the mud, his gaze lingered on the cut for a moment, and his face immediately darkened.

"This isn't just tripping someone up, it's clearly trying to kill them! If Brother Shen hadn't reacted quickly and rolled twice when he fell, avoiding that bluestone slab, his head would have hit it directly, wouldn't his brains have splattered out on the spot? He would have been dead!"

He was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Who would dare to use such underhanded tactics under the nose of the village chief?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Ning girl, don't be afraid."

Shen Wanshan turned to Su Qingzhi, his voice very low.

“I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. No matter who did it, I will make them pay the price and give your father justice.”

After he finished speaking, he said no more, turned around and strode out.

Not long after, the loudspeaker at the village entrance crackled to life.

Immediately following was Shen Wanshan's serious voice.

"All villagers, assemble at the threshing ground immediately! There's an urgent matter to announce! I repeat, all villagers, assemble at the threshing ground immediately!"

Su Yueyue stood by the threshold with her head down, desperately trying to comfort herself.
