Chapter 55: Did they run into a brick wall?
Jiang Xixi noticed it too.
His expression softened a bit. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. He'd just go through it first and figure out what to do next. At worst, he could just go back to the city and call the police later.
"Old man, I only did this because I felt sorry for you. Our team has a heavy mission and we don't have time to argue with you. Let's just let this matter go."
We're taking this same route back. If we see you again then, things won't be so simple.
Jiang Xixi gave the group of people blocking the car one last look, her tone full of sarcasm.
"Your wife and children are suffering. You should reflect on whether you've tried your best, instead of thinking about evil spirits and demons all day long, stopping cars to kill and rob..."
"What do you know, you stinking woman?"
"Xiao Lie, shut up!"
The man called Xiao Lie didn't say anything, but the unrepentant expression on his face was infuriating.
This is the person who slashed Wei Laicheng.
After Jiang Xixi left, the group of people stood still like statues, counting down the seconds.
"Tiger, how many times have I reminded you to behave yourself? You're on your own and don't have many worries, but they're different. Tell me, what if they really call the police?"
"I can't let them go to the police alive!" Tiger said fiercely, not taking it seriously at all.
"All you do is talk tough. If you were really that capable, your older brother wouldn't have left you out of the way when he went out to make his fortunes."
"Leave two people here to keep watch. I'm afraid that little girl might turn back. This is the only way to the city, so keep a close eye on her. If the police really find the village, this time it won't be something I can solve by kneeling down." The village chief frowned, his voice low.
"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I have the best eyesight, I'll keep an eye on things from here." The one who spoke was Xiao Lie, who was wielding a shovel and hacking at people.
"And me too."
...
"Honey, it hurts so much."
"Oh dear, honey, I feel like my wound is bleeding again?"
"Honey, I think I have a fever, really, feel it with your hand."
Wei Laicheng was like a poor little dog, repeatedly begging for the pity of his master, Jiang Xixi.
But his owner seemed unusually cold-hearted.
Since getting into the car, Jiang Xixi had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, ignoring any noise Wei Laicheng made.
"Ouch, honey, it really hurts..."
Seeing that his wife hadn't paid any attention to him for a long time, Wei Laicheng finally got anxious and dragged his injured arm toward Jiang Xixi.
Just as she was about to lean against him, Jiang Xixi woke up.
"Are you trying to die? If you're going to die, go somewhere else. I'm afraid you'll hurt my eyes if you're this close." Jiang Xixi's words were exceptionally cold and harsh.
“Wife, please listen to me. I really had no choice at the time. If I hadn’t done that, that shovel might have hit Gangzi’s neck and killed him.”
Gangzi just got married last year, and he still has a baby in his arms. If I really can't bring him back this time, I don't know how I'm going to explain it to his wife.
"Then why didn't you think about what I would do if something happened to you? Wei Laicheng, I never realized you were such a great person. Why can't you be a little selfish?" Jiang Xixi really couldn't understand.
"Honey, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? I'm their captain, and I chose them from the team, so I have an obligation to be responsible for them. I'll definitely think things through more carefully next time before rushing out. Honey, please forgive me this time and talk to me, okay?"
Wei Laicheng clung to Jiang Xixi's arm like a lazy bear. Jiang Xixi was about to get angry, but his demeanor made her laugh instead of getting angry.
"Get off me! I just bandaged your wound. If it reopens, I'll never forgive you." Jiang Xixi's tone finally softened.
Well, it's alright. At least he's responsible and not a bad person.
If someone is as ruthless as Chen Wenli, disregarding family ties and turning their back on others, then she should really be worried.
...
"Village chief, a lot of police officers have come to the entrance of our village. They say they are looking for my son, Xiao Lie. What should we do?"
"What? Police? How can there be police?" The village chief exclaimed in shock.
"Damn it, I told you we shouldn't have let them go. Now look what's happened, old man, what do we do now?" Tiger happened to be at the village chief's house, and upon hearing the news, he immediately realized that the woman must have called the police.
"Let's go take a look first, maybe it's not about this..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the noise outside the door.
"Village chief, come quick! How could my Xiaoyu have been arrested by the police? They're saying he committed robbery and assault. My Xiaoyu is such a good boy, how could he do something like this?"
"Yeah, and what about my husband, Lao Wang? What happened?"
The village chief was so shocked by these words that he almost lost his footing. The girl actually went to call the police.
But he clearly had Xiao Lie watch over him for several days. By then, the man's wound should have been almost healed.
Without evidence, how could they have successfully reported it to the police?
Hmph, they did think things through quite meticulously, but who told Jiang Xixi and her companion to take the unconventional path?
The two of them made a phone call directly to Mrs. Jiang and told her about the situation.
Mrs. Jiang was furious and told the two of them to leave it alone.
If I remember correctly, Mrs. Jiang once said that one of her good friends happened to marry the highest-ranking official in Seoul...
"You're the village chief of Lumin Village? Come with us!"
The village chief closed his eyes; he knew in his heart that it was all over now!
Tiger was also stunned, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared on his face.
The person who came was actually the head of the Seoul Police Department. It seems they've really messed up this time!
...
"Rongcheng doesn't seem to be much more developed than our HA City, so why do the people here seem so different from us? It's like they're full of energy..."
Wei Laicheng was visiting Fuzhou for the first time, and he was very puzzled when he saw the people of Fuzhou, whose spirit and demeanor were obviously different from those of the people of Huai'an.
He didn't know the reason, but Jiang Xixi did.
In the previous life, Rongcheng was one of the best-developed cities after that reform, and the secret to its rapid development was its mayor.
If she remembered correctly, this future famous mayor seemed to be just a low-level employee in the Rongcheng government at the moment.
However, the junior employee's identity was not ordinary, because his father was the highest-ranking official in the Rongcheng Municipal Government.
I wonder if I'll be able to meet this legendary figure during this trip to Fuzhou?
"Hello, we are from the Huai'an Transportation Team. We are here on orders to discuss a business deal with your garment factory."
Because they had a mission to complete, Jiang Xixi and her group's first stop was naturally the Rongcheng Garment Factory.
I knew this trip wouldn't go too smoothly, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.
"From Huai'an? Ha, how dare you come to our Rongcheng Garment Factory? Get out of here, don't disgust us!"
The old gatekeeper had been all smiles and kindness, but the moment he uttered the words "Huai'an," his face darkened.
