Chapter 355 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui's parents were devastated. They simply couldn't accept that after eighteen years of hard work and anticipation, their beloved little baby had never returned.
Now ask Xue Rui? What does he know? He's been kept in the dark since he was a child, so it's true what he said: go find whoever taught them.
"What's going on? That can't be! The village chief wouldn't lie to us. How could he lie to us? He told us that it had worked before, so why didn't it work for us?"
"Is something wrong? That can't be right, we did everything the village chief said, there can't be anything wrong!"
"Could it really be a lie? Xiao Bao isn't coming back?"
"Impossible! Let's go ask the village chief. He must know! Quick, let's go find the village chief!"
The couple completely ignored Xue Rui and turned to rush down the mountain. Their descent that day was the fastest they had ever made in their lives.
At this moment, Qin Fengmian and Zhao Changzhou both looked rather unwell. They didn't even need to use any props to observe; they could see the two people rushing down the mountain just by looking around.
Zhao Changzhou: "What should we do?"
Qin Fengmian said, "I didn't expect Xue Rui to be so capable. With just a few words, he shifted all the responsibility onto me. I can't meet with them for the time being; they're too crazy."
Zhao Changzhou, "Shall we hide?"
Qin Fengmian nodded, "Go out the back door. When they come to make trouble, go find the police."
Zhao Changzhou: "Okay."
If the police can be Lin Leyou's helpers, they can also be their own helpers. As long as they stand on the side of the victims, the police will protect them.
Zhao Changzhou quickly slipped out the back door, while Qin Fengmian closed all the doors and windows tightly and told his wife to stay in the room and not go out.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't open the door, everything will be fine."
His wife looked at him with great concern, "What exactly happened?"
"Sigh... what else could it be? You saw what happened that day. It was just a few jokes from back then, but they took them seriously. Now they must have realized it was useless and are coming to cause me trouble."
My wife said, "Oh dear, what are we going to do? Those are just old stories, who knows if they're true or not? How can we blame you for that!"
"Alright, don't say anything and don't go out. They won't dare to cause trouble."
The old man's wife thought that there were still some police officers active in the village, so she felt a little relieved. But as soon as she felt relieved, they started banging on their front door.
The force of the impact on the iron gate was tremendous, the loud thuds like thunder, and her heart seemed to pound with each knock.
Of course, it wasn't just banging on the door; Xue Rui's parents were also shouting and screaming outside, demanding that the village chief come out and give them an explanation.
However, they received no response for a long time. The two, who had made welcoming Xiaobao back their life goal for the past eight years, were naturally unwilling to give up.
Not getting a response, they certainly wouldn't leave. They simply used whatever they could find nearby, moving some large rocks over to smash the door!
Qin Fengmian could naturally tell the difference between knocking and banging on the door. Fortunately, Zhao Changzhou should be arriving soon, so there was no need to worry too much.
After Zhao Changzhou left, he went to find the police as quickly as possible. When the police arrived, he deliberately lagged behind and quietly walked away to hide.
When the police saw Xue Rui and his wife smashing the door with stones, they didn't care about Zhao Changzhou at all and immediately stepped forward to stop their crazy behavior.
Furthermore, because of their ferocious expressions, they dared not get too close, lest they be accidentally injured. After all, that big rock was as big as their heads; if it hit them, they would be seriously injured.
Normally, this couple would have restrained themselves a bit when they saw the police, and might even have gone back first, but now they were completely dazed.
They were completely oblivious to the police officers, and instead became increasingly agitated because they were being stopped. "Get lost, don't waste my time!"
After hurling insults, the two continued to pound on the door with the large stones in their hands. Just as the door was about to be smashed open, the police continued to try to persuade them, but the two refused to listen.
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to resort to force. Although the two men were holding stones, they were no match for the two battle-hardened policemen. Before long, both men were pinned to the ground, their hands were handcuffed behind their backs, and they were subdued.
Regardless of the severity of their crimes, since they have been arrested and handcuffed, they must first be taken back to the police station for investigation, and then their punishment will be determined according to the severity of the offense.
Shortly after they were put into the police car and taken away, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui received news that the mission was completed.
It seems that the two of them were deemed to have completed their mission only after leaving the area of Jingu Village. But anyway, it's good that they were able to complete it.
It's been so tough. It's already the twenty-first day of the month. Counting today, there are only ten days left. But there's one thing they all guessed wrong.
To stop a brutal murder, the target wasn't Xue Rui, but...
Both of them looked toward the village chief's house. The victim of this torture and murder was actually the village chief!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. No matter how bad Xue Rui is, he's still an adult male. Even if he can't beat the couple, can't he at least outrun them?
This was something they never expected, but now let's see what their next task is.
"System notification: Please stop a massacre!"
When Lin Leyou saw the task requirements, he thought he hadn't completed his previous task, but he had just received a system notification that the task was completed.
Xue Rui said, "It seems that our seventh task is the same as the sixth one."
Lin Leyou said, "Then the seventh task should be about Zhao Qiang and Zhou Wanwan."
Xue Rui said, "I need to be more careful in the future."
Lin Leyou, "Are you still living in the mountains?"
Xue Rui: "I'll be staying at Brother Lin's place for the next few days."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "Welcome."
Xue Rui followed Lin Leyou home without a care in the world, but luckily everyone had gone to the village chief's house to watch the excitement, so no one saw Xue Rui go to Lin Leyou's house.
The village chief's house was bustling with activity at this time.
"Village chief, when they got into the police car they were all shouting that it was you who taught them the method to bring Xiaobao back to life and possess Xue Rui's body! Is that true?"
"It must be true, and it must have failed. Otherwise, why would they be so excited, banging on the door like madmen? I could hear them hitting the iron door with stones from far away!"
"Village chief, I never thought you were this kind of person. I misjudged you before and thought you were a good person. All these years of this crazy behavior of that couple is because of your instigation, isn't it?"
"Oh dear, you really can't judge a book by its cover! Village chief, you've really gone too far, ruining their whole family!"
"Yes, if we don't say it that way, they'll be sad for a while, but they'll eventually accept reality and truly love Xue Rui, instead of acting like this now..."
"Village chief, please don't say that you just said some comforting words because you felt they were too sad. If you really cared about others, how could you ask them to do such a thing?"
"Not only did their hopes not come true, but they were also arrested and taken to the police station. The village chief is really something. We'd better be careful from now on."
Of course, not all of these people were sarcastic or defamatory towards the village chief. Many others spoke up for him, after all, he had genuinely helped many villagers and solved many problems in the village over the years.
Although they eventually parted ways and it seemed that nothing had changed, the village chief's reputation was certainly not as good as it used to be.
Lin Leyou and his team have really given Zhao Changzhou and Qin Fengmian a lot of trouble this time, and they've gained a lot. I just don't know if they'll resort to desperate measures if their mission fails.
Xue Rui took a comfortable shower in the bathroom and put on Lin Leyou's pajamas. "Huh? They fit me perfectly."
He was wandering around the house in his pajamas, seemingly finding it quite amusing.
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "We're about the same size."
Xue Rui then lay down on the bed, saying, "It's so comfortable lying here with Brother Lin!"
Lin Leyou said, "After that, she stayed with me, since she had nothing else to do anyway."
Xue Rui said, "I don't know when they will be released this time."
Lin Leyou said, "There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. I hope they won't be released before the last ten days are over."
Xue Rui, "Zhao Qiang and Zhou Wanwan's side..."
Lin Leyou said, "There's a 70-80% chance it's over there, but it might not be. We still can't relax our monitoring of the entire village."
Xue Rui nodded, "I understand..."
Lin Leyou said, "We can't let our guard down around Zhao Changzhou and his group either."
For the next two days, nothing was discovered. Zhao Qiang continued to throw and hit Zhou Wanwan, but he didn't hit her too hard. The reason was probably still the same: he wanted a child.
Zhao Changzhou and Qin Fengmian went into hiding, living normal lives like ordinary villagers. Qin Fengmian, in particular, had his reputation as village chief tarnished, so he rarely went out and was rarely seen outside. Even if villagers needed to see him, he would tell his wife that he was sick.
And so the whole village gradually fell silent, and many villagers began to remember how good the village chief was, since he wasn't doing anything.
As Lin Leyou and the others gradually heard these words, they realized what Qin Fengmian and his group were planning.
but……
Lin Leyou said, "This kind of approach requires a lot of time, but we don't have much time left."
Xue Rui calculated the time, "Eight days left."
Lin Leyou: "Zhao Qiang is the same as always. I always feel like everything is fine, but it also feels like something bad could happen at any moment."
The next day they discovered that Xue Rui's parents had been released.
