"Master's wife, I have let you down!" After Fan Zhiqiang took all the responsibility on himself, he couldn't bear it anymore. He squatted on the floor and cried on the spot. He was heartbroken not only because he had not taken good care of Master's wife, but also because he had worked so hard to grow the herbs.
Yan Shuhua had just escaped from the sea of fire, and actually didn't have much energy to talk now. But seeing Fan Zhiqiang like this, she still went to comfort him: "Everyone is responsible for this matter. It's not that you caused it, everyone has to take responsibility. Anyway, it has happened, so we still have to make amends."
Fan Zhiqiang wiped away his tears sadly: "But we have already prepared the herbs, and now they are all burned to ashes. Isn't this a waste of time, and the order can't be completed?"
"As long as you're okay, that's good." Yan Shuhua patted his shoulder.
"Someone must have set the fire on purpose!" Fan Zhiqiang would never believe that this was a coincidence. They were going to hand in the herbs tomorrow, and something like this happened tonight. These people must have done it on purpose, and the sneaky person just now must have wanted to lure him out.
"Even if someone really set the fire, so what?" Yan Shuhua said, "We didn't take good care of our things. We can't blame anyone for this."
It’s easy to imagine that the villagers felt bad when they saw the herbs they had worked so hard to collect being burned like this.
"How could this happen? Hey!"
"Someone must have done it on purpose." The villagers thought about what happened that night and speculated, "Could it be Zhang Tiehu? Apart from that man, I can't think of anyone else!"
Although Zhang Tiehu is a gangster, he probably doesn't have the courage to set a fire. The only one who can do it is him.
"I seem to have discovered two very strange people coming into the village today. Do you think they could be those two people?" The villagers who came to help put out the fire were whispering to each other, wondering who they were.
"Master's wife, what should we do?" Fan Zhiqiang was almost confused, but Yan Shuhua remained calm, "This is the only way."
When Shen Hongmei heard that their house had been burned down, she was so worried about her daughter's safety that she returned immediately. Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.
It was so late that the bus had actually stopped running a long time ago, but the driver happened to meet her on his way to town to buy something, so he brought her back.
"Is there any evidence?"
"He was able to come from so far away to cause trouble for me, so he definitely won't leave any evidence behind."
"I don't know if Jinchu has cleared the matter."
Xiao Yanmin was able to send people to burn all her medicinal herbs. She didn't know whether Xiao Jinchu in the capital would be unable to compete with him in the same way.
"Never mind, never mind, as long as my daughter is safe." Shen Hongmei had been frightened once before, and now this kind of thing happened again, how could she not be frightened? After all, Yan Shuhua was her only daughter.
"Shuhua, can you tell Jinchu not to fight him?" Shen Hongmei was so anxious that she cried, "He not only has a pistol in his hand, but also so many desperate criminals, all of whom obey his orders. A man like him is simply desperate for his life. You will definitely lose if you fight him. Wouldn't you have not tried to steal his business in the first place? Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened. I hope you and Jinchu can join the army and live the rest of your life in peace and stability."
She finally understood Xiao Yanmin's character. He was a man who would do anything to get what he wanted. There was no benefit at all for Yan Shuhua to go against him.
"Mom, do you think he would let us go even if we two joined the army? We were able to survive so smoothly in the village before because he didn't find our location. Now he knows everything. How could he give up such a good opportunity? So don't think about it. Even if we don't fight him, he will fight us."
Yan Shuhua thought that if he didn't beat Xiao Yanmin, he would come to cause trouble again in the future! "But..." Shen Hongmei was very anxious, "Look at these things, how can a normal person do it? He is completely trying to kill you."
"That's for sure. He will definitely kill me so that he can take away all the property of the Xiao family." Yan Shuhua was not panicked in the face of the sudden danger, but the first person she thought of was Xiao Jinchu. He was fighting alone and didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter.
"Shuhua, my poor child, I thought you could live the rest of your life peacefully, but who would have thought you would meet a man like this? What do you think I should do?"
"Since he wants to fight us to the end, that's fine. Let's fight him to the end."
At this time, some villagers suddenly ran over and said that they had caught a stranger, and he was very dirty. They suspected that he was the arsonist, so they quickly caught the man.
At this time, the police from the police station also came over and told the villagers to let him go: "Take him back first."
Fan Zhiqiang couldn't bear to watch the arson suspect being taken away by the police like this: "You can't take him away. If you take him away, he will definitely be released again once he goes to the police station."
Fan Zhiqiang's words made the police extremely ashamed and angry: "You said it as if we would deliberately let him go?"
"Isn't it? The last time the man was arrested, he ran away before even one night had passed in the police station. I don't believe that so many policemen can't control a man?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Fan Zhiqiang was not talking nonsense, but he had known for a long time that there must be undercover agents or spies among the police. Otherwise, why did they come for the first time every time something happened, and then something would happen when they caught that person?
After hearing what Fan Zhiqiang said, Yan Shuhua actually felt a little confused.
Xiao Yanmin is so rich, so powerful, and so resourceful, so it is indeed possible for him to plant a spy in the police station.
"Master's Wife, we can't let the police take him away. What if he runs away again? We won't have any clues at all."
"Stop talking." Yan Shuhua had noticed that the police officers all looked unhappy. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding, she quickly told Fan Zhiqiang to stop talking and asked them to take the prisoner away quickly.
Those trained by Xiao Yanmin are all very experienced. Even if they are almost beaten to death, they may not be able to say anything. Only when their minds are relaxed can their minds collapse and they will say those words.
