With his grandfather backing him up, Zhou Xiaochuan stopped trembling and was no longer afraid. He became arrogant and said, "Don't bother, I don't know anything. I won't say anything."

Du Wenbing and Lin Ye exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning: if Zhou Xiaochuan and Xu Bowen insisted that they knew nothing, the police would be powerless to do anything about it.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, Lu Wanqing walked over carrying a snowball.

When Wang Guangming returned, Lu Wanqing was discussing matters with Chen Xiangxiu, and she already knew everything about how Kunkun was rescued.

Just now, when a large group of people walked towards the Zhou family, she guessed that Kunkun's disappearance was related to Zhou Xiaochuan.

“Honey, we suspect that Qi Wei instructed Zhou Xiaochuan and Xu Bowen to do this. We’re confronting them, but Zhou Xiaochuan insists he knows nothing.” Lin Ye saw Lu Wanqing and quickly went to her side, whispering the current situation to her.

Lu Wanqing gave Lin Ye a knowing look, then walked towards Zhou Changsheng.

“Uncle Zhou, you don’t need to protect your grandson. You should know better than me how the police handle cases. If they torture him into confessing, he’ll have a stain on his record of spending time in juvenile detention for the rest of his life. But now that he’s given up on who’s behind him, nothing will happen to him,” Lu Wanqing said as she put down the snowball.

Zhou Changsheng rolled his eyes at her, looking disdainful: "Don't threaten me. I'm already like this, what else can you do to me!"

At this moment, the snowball had already crawled to Zhou Xiaochuan's schoolbag and was smelling its scent.

"Reporting to Master, Zhou Xiaochuan smells like Kunkun, and I just saw a 100-yuan note in his backpack." Snowball quickly noticed the clues.

Upon receiving the message, Lu Wanqing chuckled, "Uncle Zhou, people are easily tempted to do wrong. Xiao Chuan only helped someone this time because he accepted two yuan. If you don't believe me, you can check his bag; there's money inside."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. How did Lu Wanqing know so much? Could it be that things were really as she said?

Zhou Changsheng couldn't sit still any longer. He could have easily gotten away with saying he didn't know without real evidence, but if money really was found in the bag, it would be much harder to deny it.

Before he could say anything, his daughter-in-law, Meng Jiao, interrupted, "That money was given to him by me. He was going on a spring outing today, and I thought he might buy some food outside, so I gave him two yuan."

"Oh, is that so!" Lu Wanqing nodded as she paced back and forth. "Are you sure it was two yuan you gave me, and not ten yuan?"

"Of course, two taels is already a lot, where would our family get that much money to give him!" Meng Jiao gritted her teeth.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaochuan was already like a frightened bird, his expression tense as he clung to Zhou Changsheng's lap.

His mother had fallen into Lu Wanqing's trap, but he couldn't say anything.

He could only watch helplessly as Lu Wanqing took out a ten-yuan note from his schoolbag and slapped Meng Jiao hard across the face.

"It really was you! You little bastard, you almost got Kun Kun lost!" Li Fang suddenly realized and scratched at Zhou Xiaochuan without thinking.

Meng Jiao naturally tried to block it, and the two of them ended up grappling.

Zhou Xiaochuan was filled with anxiety and his scalp tingled. He cried out to everyone, "Stop hitting me! This money belongs to Principal Qi. He made Xu Bowen and me do everything."

While the two sides were arguing, many people gathered around to watch the commotion, and Yu Guanghui also stood at the back of the crowd.

Upon hearing Zhou Xiaochuan mention Xu Bowen's name, his body trembled involuntarily, and his palms became sweaty.

Xu Bowen is his youngest son. Although he dares not acknowledge him, the blood relationship cannot be severed.

If what Zhou Xiaochuan said is true, it means that Qi Wei used his son to do such a heinous thing.

With that in mind, he pushed through the crowd and squeezed in to uphold justice.

“Zhou Xiaochuan and Xu Bowen are still children. They were instigated to do such things. The key issue now is the instigator behind them,” Yu Guanghui said to everyone.

The people who were fighting all stopped and calmed down.

This matter concerns Kunkun, so it's not appropriate for others to interfere. Li Fang nudged Luo Jun's arm and gave him a look.

Luo Jun is usually an honest and simple man; he has never dealt with this kind of thing before.

He stammered and asked Yu Guanghui if he had any good ideas.

In an attempt to divert attention from the two children, Yu Guanghui suggested, "Principal Qi is morally corrupt and has instigated the children to bully their classmates. We absolutely cannot allow such a person to continue as principal."

Lu Wanqing was well aware of the relationship between Yu Guanghui and Xu Bowen, and she naturally knew his purpose in doing so.

However, his thoughts coincided with hers.

"Secretary Yu, why don't you call Xu Bowen over? Let's all go and confront Qi Wei together," Lu Wanqing suggested.

Afraid of revealing his identity, Yu Guanghui had to ask someone else to run the errand for him. After a while, Li Miaolian arrived angrily with Xu Bowen.

Xu Bowen used to tell Li Miaolian everything, but she never expected that Xu Bowen had also been bribed by Qi Wei this time. Li Miaolian only found out about it after discovering that there was an extra ten yuan in his schoolbag.

I was originally thinking of discussing with Yu Guanghui what to do, but he sent someone over to find me.

After Li Miaolian arrived, she said to Yu Guanghui, half-threateningly, "Bowen is also a victim. We shouldn't scare the child."

Yu Guanghui's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "We didn't say we would punish the children! Now we're taking the children to find Qi Wei, right? Whether Qi Wei admits it or not, we can't let him be the principal anymore and keep harming the children here."

Under Yu Guanghui's guidance, everyone in the team who could come out did so. Some carried hoes, some carried shoulder poles, and each person held a torch. They didn't even have time to eat dinner before heading towards the commune.

Wang Guangming followed in the group, puzzled. Ever since Yu Guanghui arrived, he had entrusted him with everything. Why was he so concerned about this matter?

However, he is the Party Secretary after all, and his involvement in this matter carries more weight.

At this time, don't bother looking for him at school; Qi Wei has definitely already returned to his dormitory at the commune.

In the darkness of night, the long line of torches was particularly eye-catching.

Especially in sensitive places like communes, many people from the surrounding area would bring their rice bowls and follow the procession to watch the spectacle.

Qi Wei had nothing to do after finishing his meal, so he found a pornographic book and was reading it with great interest when he heard a commotion outside.

He put on a coat and came out; the firelight almost blinded him.

After calming himself down, he saw that Xu Bowen and several other children were at the front, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Outnumbered, he quickly turned around, trying to hide in the dormitory, but Lin Ye grabbed him by the back of his collar, making him unable to move.

"Everyone, let's talk this out." Qi Wei had no choice but to turn around and beg for mercy with a forced smile.
