The family was patiently trying to persuade the three generations of the family, while a similar scene was unfolding at the brigade leader's house.

After finally seeing the people off, the brigade leader sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), puffing on his cigarette in silence.

The brigade leader's wife couldn't bear it any longer. "Old Li, the Qian family is really despicable. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

She really liked that girl from the Liu family. Every time she came back, she would sweetly call her "Auntie" and give the children in the family candy. She didn't have any of the airs of a city person.

The brigade leader's son and daughter-in-law were also present.

The daughter-in-law tugged at Li Da's clothes, signaling him to speak.

Li Da was also helpless. The Qian family accounted for half of the people in Leling Village, and his father was having an extremely difficult time as the brigade leader. Now, this incident had happened.

If we go against the Qian family...

"Father, the Qian family is powerful, we can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was unable to continue under the stern gazes of the brigade leader and his wife.

"Eldest son, I don't expect you to be successful or rich, but you must have the most basic moral principles and conscience!"

Captain Li gave his daughter-in-law a cold look.

"You don't need to worry about it. I know what to do. You can go back now!"

The daughter-in-law was getting anxious; her child was only five years old, and she was really scared!

Li Da quickly covered her mouth and shook his head at her.

"Okay, Father and Mother, I believe you wouldn't disregard the safety of the younger generation in the family."

After saying that, he took his wife and left.

The captain's wife sighed.

"Don't blame her, women are just timid, she's only afraid something will happen to her grandson..."

After all, the Qian family is capable of such things!

Captain Li tapped his pipe and whispered in her ear, "We can't ignore this. Whether it's because our conscience won't let us get away with it, or because we can't afford to offend the Liu family's second son and his wife who are both in the army, we have to take care of this!"

The Qian family has no regard for the law and dares to have ulterior motives towards military families; they're courting death! They're judging the Liu family's second son to be just as cowardly as the eldest!

The whole family works in the military region, so what kind of people can they be to be trifled with? It's just that the Qian family is used to acting like local tyrants in the village, and they think that outsiders are afraid of them too.

They thought girls were too sensitive to speak up after being raped. Humph!

“The village’s phone lines have definitely been cut off, and our family is being watched so we can’t leave the village.”

You're doing this...

The elderly couple whispered for a while, and the brigade leader's wife nodded repeatedly.

...

Bai Yajing was just about to leave work when her uncle arrived in a flurry.

Without saying a word, he grabbed her and left.

When they arrived at the station, he finally spoke up: "Liu Meiling is in trouble! Brother Liu answered the phone; we work in the same office, and I overheard it."

The specifics are still unclear, but Brother Liu and his family have already gone to the countryside with their security team.

I found out his hometown address, so let's go there.

He knew about his niece's attempt to exchange cotton with Liu Meiling, so this matter was somewhat related to their family. Moreover, the Liu family were all nice people, and his niece was a good friend of Liu Meiling, so they had to help.

Bai Yajing was also very anxious when she heard that something had happened to her.

"Okay, let's hurry! Let's catch up with them!"

The two traveled by car without stopping until they arrived at Leling Village, by which time it was already dark.

However, there is now one brightly lit spot in the village.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately ran over.

Upon arrival, I saw the courtyard filled with red paper-cuts and a mess on the ground.

The outer courtyard was packed with people.

The same was true inside the courtyard. The atmosphere was tense.

The guards stood silently at the entrance of the main hall, guns in hand.

Apart from Qian Xiaohua's family, who were allowed in for questioning, the rest of the Qian family members were shouting for them to release the people.
