Tiger's sudden remark startled Liu Cuiyun and Wang Dahua.

Liu Cuiyun, in particular, turned pale: "Hu Zi, what... what are you saying?"

"Li Weidong can kill people? He can do such a thing?"

Wang Dahua frowned as well: "You can't just say things like that!"

Murder is no joke.

Tiger sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Li Weidong didn't kill anyone, why is he covered in blood?"

"If you haven't done anything wrong, why would you need to find a secluded place to secretly wash your clothes?"

He paused, then said in a sinister tone, "You don't know yet, do you? There was a murder in the city last night!"

Normally he wouldn't know, but coincidentally, he sneaked out last night to hang out with his buddies and didn't get home until dawn.

I just happened to find out about this news.

Wang Dahua and Liu Cuiyun gasped, exchanged a glance, and were too frightened to speak.

Tiger continued, "Besides, do you really think Li Weidong made his money through legitimate business?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Cuiyun's eyes widened.

Tiger curled his lip and said, "What else can we say? He's only in his early twenties. While others still have to rely on their parents, he's buying cars and mobile phones and his business is booming. If there's nothing going on, who would believe it!"

"Maybe he killed someone outside and couldn't make a living there, so he came home. Otherwise, why would a college graduate like him not stay outside to work but come back to this remote mountain village?"

Liu Cuiyun gasped: "Now that you mention it, it actually seems to make sense!"

Tiger sneered.

He was just worried about how to deal with Li Weidong when this solution came to him unexpectedly!

He suddenly stood up: "Mom, I'm going out for a bit!"

"Where are you going!"

Wang Dahua panicked: "If Li Weidong really killed someone, don't go near him!"

Who knows if they'll go berserk in the process?

Tiger didn't even turn his head, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, Li Weidong's doomsday has come!"

After leaving the house, he went straight to the convenience store.

"Tiger, what brings you here?"

Zhao Qianjin sat at the entrance of the convenience store and joked, "The mushrooms grown by the farmers you brought are small and wilted. They're not even good enough to eat, let alone sell."

Everyone's worried about this right now, have you found a solution?

Tiger rolled his eyes and handed over two cents: "I need to make a phone call!"

Zhao Qianjin took the money with a grin and moved aside, but he didn't stop talking: "Are you calling for reinforcements or what?"

"If we don't come up with a solution soon, all those people will be heading straight for Li Weidong!"

Tiger sneered: "Going after Li Weidong? Go ahead if you want!"

"As long as Li Weidong can still jump around!"

He then dialed a number.

Feeling awkward, Zhao Qianjin simply walked out.

Tiger answered the phone quickly.

He picked it up and got straight to the point: "Hello, I want to report a crime. I know who the murderer is in the case at the county committee's residential compound early this morning!"

An excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it? Tell me quickly!"

Tiger spoke slowly and deliberately: "Peach Blossom Valley, Li Weidong! I saw him washing his blood-soaked clothes in the river with my own eyes. He's the one who killed him!"

"Send men here immediately to arrest him! Don't let the murderer escape!"

After hanging up the phone, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

This time, let's see how Li Weidong will fight him!

Zhao Qianjin, who was sitting outside, saw Hu Zi come out and asked, "Hu Zi, is this phone call to call for reinforcements? How's that mushroom? Give me a straight answer!"

After all, his brother's family also grew mushrooms with Hu Zi, and they've been worried sick about them lately.

Tiger didn't reply and walked away on his own.

Zhao Qianjin was furious and spat on the ground: "Pah! What are you so arrogant about? You're not even as good as Li Weidong's toes. Just wait until it's time to harvest the mushrooms, then we'll see what you do!"

Those mushrooms are of such poor quality, it would be a miracle if they could even be sold!

Hearing this, Tiger stopped and turned to look at him: "Do you know why I just made that phone call?"

Zhao Qianjin was taken aback: "What?"

"Call the police."

Tiger laughed arrogantly: "Just wait and see, Li Weidong will soon be eating the government's rice!"

He might even get shot!

Zhao Qianjin was dumbfounded: "What? Did Weidong do something illegal? That can't be!"

They're from the same village, know each other well, so he'd be somewhat inclined to believe that Tiger had done something illegal or criminal.

Will Li Weidong commit illegal or criminal acts?

How could that be!

Tiger didn't explain much and turned to head straight for Shunzi's house.

...

Junko's house at the end of the village.

The courtyard was now packed with people, all of them the same group who had grown mushrooms with Hu Zi.

"I told you long ago that Tiger was unreliable. I should have followed Weidong to grow mushrooms back then."

"I counted them. The mushrooms grown in my two greenhouses together probably weigh less than 200 jin (100 kg) in total. That's far too little!"

“I’ve seen the greenhouses at the farmhouses in Weidong. Wow, the mushrooms are growing so densely that they’re almost overflowing. They’re growing so well, and each mushroom is plump and big. You can tell they’ll fetch a good price.”

"Tiger hasn't gone out these past few days. When we go to his house, he always says he's not there and he doesn't seem to know what to do."

Everyone started complaining all at once.

Just then, Shunzi suddenly spoke up: "I've made up my mind. I'm going to find Weidong and ask him to help me grow mushrooms. It's okay if it costs a couple of cents less, at least the mushrooms will grow well."
