Chapter 254 Reencounter with Shi Lei

Qin Xiaoxiao successfully infiltrated the gossip squad in the supply and marketing cooperative's residential area, while Qin Ye also found his "organization" near the police station and started chatting with a group of men.

"All seven members of that family died in that house. It was so tragic."

"How did you die? Tell me, Brother Lie."

Taking the cigarette from Qin Ye, Brother Lie began to reminisce.

"That family's youngest son is a real scoundrel. He's never been able to get married, he's never home, and he's always causing trouble for the family. One day he's peeking through the widow's door, and the next day he's spying on some young girl taking a bath."

That's bad enough, but for some reason, he actually set his sights on his niece.

That family is a bunch of scoundrels; they actually acquiesced.

"Damn, I've never seen a family more beastly than theirs in my entire life."

Qin Ye was shocked. "Is it... that extreme?"

Close relatives, even uncles, what were they thinking?

"Of course, even my own uncle, that bastard could do that."

The girl's parents were no good either. I don't know what kind of spell that bastard had cast on them, but they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything.

Later, the girl resisted to the death and ran out to jump into the river before he stopped.

That girl was unlucky; she didn't die. If she had, none of this would have happened.

"What's wrong now?"

"Her parents heard that someone was exchanging wives, so they wanted to exchange their daughter for a wife for their younger brother. The old lady was naturally happy, and the old man was also delighted, as if he had gotten a great deal."

If no one in the family objects, who would listen to the girl's opinion?

In just three days, the girl was kidnapped by her family and taken to the mountains, where she was reportedly made a shared wife by a farming family.

The old man in that family was fifty years old, living with his three sons…

Lie Ge's words not only shattered Qin Ye's worldview, but also left Su Lu speechless with shock.

Su Lu squatted at the hospital entrance, with two old men squatting beside him.

Two old men were smoking cigarettes.

"The girl escaped and came back a year later. That very night, she hacked her entire family to pieces and then committed suicide. The whole family died a horrific death! I heard that the blood flowed all over the yard and two heavy rains couldn't wash it away."

“Serves you right!”

Su Lu cursed under his breath and angrily stubbed out his cigarette.

"By the way, why are you asking about that house? It's been sealed off for years. Nobody dares to buy their house, and people from the neighborhood don't even go there normally."

Su Lu calmly took out two handfuls of melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to the two old men. “I found a job in the city. It’s too troublesome to live in the countryside. It’s too far away, so I wanted to move to the city. That place is close to my workplace, so I thought I would rent it first. But when I went there just now, I heard some noise inside. The door was locked. I was afraid something might happen, so I came to ask around.”

Upon hearing Su Lu's words, the two old men became agitated and abruptly stood up.

"What? There's movement inside?"

Su Lu looked at the two of them with a blank expression. "Ah, I came over to ask because there was some noise."

The two old men looked up at the sky and said, "It can't be in broad daylight, can it?"

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously shivered.

Su Lu looked completely bewildered. "What did the old man say? I don't understand."

The two old men, no longer bothering to eat sunflower seeds, abandoned Su Lu and headed straight for the police station.

"You stay here and don't move. We're going to find someone."

Su Lu stood up and waved obediently to the two old men, "Okay, I won't leave, I'll wait for you here."

After the two old men had disappeared from sight, Su Lu flicked the corner of his clothes, finished eating the remaining melon seeds, and then slowly walked into the alley.

When Su Lu arrived, a large crowd had already gathered outside the courtyard. Su Lu spotted Qin Ye and Qin Xiaoxiao in the crowd.

Qin Ye and Qin Xiaoxiao didn't join the crowd. They stood at the back of the crowd and waited for the people from the street to arrive. Once the gate was opened, a bunch of people rushed into the courtyard, and the two of them slowly retreated.

The three met up and quickly left the county town. Instead of taking an oxcart, they sped all the way back to Qinjiagou.

The three of them didn't go home, but went straight to the brigade headquarters.

"Sir, this is terrible! Something horrible has happened!"

Qin Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and ran to Qin Feng's desk, picked up the teacup and gulped down two mouthfuls of water.

Qin Feng glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao indifferently, then at Qin Ye and Su Lu, who had followed her in.

Seeing Qin Ye and Su Lu give him a subtle nod, Qin Feng understood what was going on.

It’s done!

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Speak slowly, there's no rush."

Qin Feng looked anxious, but he was trying to comfort Qin Xiaoxiao and even took the time to pour her another glass of water.

Luo Hongxing glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with interest, then looked at Qin Ye and Su Lu.

"Did you come back together?"

Su Lu and Qin Ye nodded to Luo Hongxing, "Ah, that's right, luckily we went with them, otherwise Xiao Xiao would have been terrified."

Su Zhiyuan looked dejected, but his eyes lit up when he saw Su Lu. However, his eldest son seemed not to see him at all, and his eyes dimmed again.

"What happened? Tell me slowly."

Su Lu glanced at Su Zhiyuan and saw his father looking at him expectantly. He couldn't help but sigh and said softly, "We went to the county town just now and heard that something happened at the hospital, so we went to check it out. Then we saw a group of people rush into a courtyard. We glanced around and thought we saw Zhou Zhiqing and Huang Zhiqing."

They...they, well, anyway, they've been caught. You guys should go check on them.

After Su Lu finished speaking, he took a step back and stood behind Qin Ye.

Qin Ye glanced at him and said with a serious expression, "This is no small matter. What will people think of our village if they find out? It will have a bad influence on Qinjiagou."

Moreover, the police are probably on their way to the village right now, so you'd better be prepared and see what they say.”

Originally, Qin Ye and his group wanted to handle the matter in Qinjiagou, but Zhou Ying didn't follow the usual path and insisted on making a scene in the county town. That was fine too, as the police station would handle it, making it easier for them to extricate themselves. Whatever happened later would be none of their business, since the police station had already issued a certificate, so it had nothing to do with them.

Qin Feng and the other two exchanged glances, then got up and walked outside.

As soon as I reached the village entrance, I saw two police officers in uniform riding bicycles toward Qinjiagou from afar.

The three of them stopped, and Qin Ye and his two companions behind them also stopped. When the police officers from the local station rode up to them, Qin Feng quickly stepped forward and warmly shook the hand of one of the older officers.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

Qin Xiaoxiao took a closer look, and wow! What a coincidence! Isn't this Shi Lei, Miao Feifei's destined male lead?

Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, and Shi Lei was still standing in front of her, perfectly fine.

Qin Xiaoxiao was helpless.

Damn! What a coincidence!

No, Miao Feifei is dead, why is he still here? Why doesn't he go home?
