The two of them soon arrived at Chen Ce's house.

Chen Ce's eyes fell on Huo Jue: "What you said does make some sense. After all, you and my sister are not related at all. To be honest, I am not very confident in leaving it to you."

Huo Jue couldn't help but laugh. Chen Ce's eyes fell on him: "Ajue, let's talk about the future cooperation first, and then we can talk about other things."

Huo Jue nodded, glanced at Chen Ce and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

The village was extremely quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs making Huo Zhiguo tremble with fear.

"Can the two of us really do this?"

Huo Zhiguo's eyes fell on Li Mei, and Li Mei's expression fell on Huo Zhiguo: "What other options do you have?"

She looked cold, and Huo Zhiguo fell silent.

Li Mei also urged at this moment: "Alright, hurry up and listen to what I say, otherwise I won't let you go."

Huo Zhiguo walked forward obediently, emotions flowing in his eyes, and there was indeed a bit of uneasiness in his heart.

He now only hopes that he will not be discovered, otherwise, he really doesn’t know what to do.

The two men dug a hole, and their efforts didn't let anyone notice anything was wrong.

"Hey, digging a hole this late at night?"

These words suddenly came in the middle of the night. Huo Zhiguo was so scared that he couldn't hold the hoe firmly in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on him, and before Huo Zhiguo could react, he was blinded by the light in front of him.

He covered his eyes with his hands, and before he could react to what was happening, he heard footsteps.

Huo Zhiguo was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes were filled with a bit of sneer: "Uncle, what are you doing?"

There was curiosity in Wen Xia Nuan's voice. Huo Zhiguo looked at Wen Xia Nuan hesitantly. At this moment, he found that he couldn't say anything at all.

"Huo Zhiguo, what are you still hesitating about?"

When Huo Zhiguo heard this, he said nothing. When Li Mei didn't hear Huo Zhiguo's voice, she hurried towards him, but was stunned when she saw Wen Xia Nuan standing there.

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Mei's eyes: "Wen Xia Nuan, why are you...?"

Before she could finish her words, she saw everything around her light up.

Li Mei's eyes were filled with surprise, and she subconsciously wanted to hide.

The sounds from all around also rang out at this time.

"Li Mei, please come out quickly. We have all seen you."

Hearing the sounds from all around, Li Mei had no choice but to walk out.

Her eyes fell on these people. The captain stood in place, shining the light into his eyes. Li Mei also covered her eyes with her hand at this time.

"Li Mei, what are you doing?"

When the captain's voice came, a thought flashed through Li Mei's eyes. Looking at the captain at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

"Li Mei, I'm asking you a question!"

The captain scolded, his eyes sweeping over Li Mei, his expression indeed mixed with a bit of anger: "What are you two doing with hoes in your arms, not sleeping at this hour?"

Li Mei stammered and couldn't speak.

The captain's expression was filled with seriousness, and Huo Zhiguo was already speechless at this moment.

Li Mei was also hesitant.

It was obvious that something was very wrong with the two of them.

The captain took a deep breath and sneered, "It seems like you two don't want to talk at all!"

"In that case, let's go to the village committee and talk it out."

The villagers standing around all came forward and tried to grab Li Mei's hand. Li Mei shouted, and a hint of uneasiness flashed across her eyes.

No one let go at this moment.

There was panic in Li Mei's eyes, and Huo Zhiguo also stumbled: "Let go, let go!"

"Captain, I am innocent in this matter. I am absolutely innocent."

Seeing that Huo Zhiguo was about to speak again, Li Mei scolded him: "Huo Zhiguo, shut up!"

Her voice was angry, and Huo Zhiguo looked at her with grievance, but at this moment, he didn't dare to say a word.

"Li Mei, are you really going to cause trouble for me now?"

The captain's voice scolded, and Li Mei fell silent. He looked very indignant and said, "If you don't say anything, I don't mind reporting it to the town!"

"You two are blatantly damaging public finances!"

Li Mei's expression was filled with uneasiness, and Huo Zhiguo was also trembling with fear.

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds, emotions surging in their eyes. Li Mei thought for a moment before speaking, "Is it not okay for me to say it?"

She looked at the team leader with a sullen expression and said, "Zhiguo and I originally wanted to dig a hole to bury some sweet potatoes we planted, but we didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Her pitiful gaze fell on the captain: "Captain, these things are true. If you don't believe it, I have nothing to say!"

Li Mei's eyes fell on the captain, who sneered when he heard these words: "Li Mei, you didn't just treat me like a fool in this matter, you treated all of us like fools, right?"

He sneered, but Li Mei quickly waved her hand: "Captain, how dare I say these words?"

Her pitiful gaze fell on the captain, who was also silent.

Li Mei glanced at him, her expression showing an unprecedented anger: "Li Mei, you don't take my words to heart at all!"

"Captain, I am truly wronged!"

Li Mei's pitiful gaze fell on the captain. The captain snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

"Captain, if it's you who's going to do this, don't listen to Li Mei's nonsense."

Li Mei looked hesitant. The captain's eyes fell on her. There were many things she couldn't say.

"Yeah, yeah, she's totally treating us like fools now, why should we listen to her nonsense?"

A flurry of chatter erupted from all around, and the captain's gaze fell on Li Mei: "You've heard everything now, right? Since these things have been leaked, you should handle this matter properly."

Li Mei hesitated, not daring to speak. The captain snorted coldly, "Li Mei, you should also understand that this time we have all seen it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let it go."
