Li Tianqi was breathing heavily. He felt severe pain all over his body and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
As Wen Xia Nuan's words came, he looked up at her with great effort: "Am I, am I wrong?"
Wen Xia Nuan frowned in disgust, suppressing her inner irritation. "Li Tianqi, you've always considered yourself my savior, so why don't you tell me the truth about how I fell into the water?"
Li Tianqi looked at Wen Xia Nuan. He panicked when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. "Ah Nuan, I made a mistake. Are you even blaming me for falling into the water?"
The villagers around were looking at them, and they didn't understand what Wen Xia Nuan was doing.
"This Li Tianqi shouldn't be so cruel, right?"
"That's hard to say. Wen Zhiqing is a man from Kyoto. He comes from a well-off family, so it's understandable that he wants to climb the social ladder!"
"If this is true, then Li Zhiqing's mind is truly unfathomable!"
The chief officer hadn't expected Wen Xia Nuan to suddenly bring this up. He looked at her puzzled and asked, "Wen Zhiqing, do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"
"Captain, since I dare to say this, I already have sufficient evidence."
Wen Xia Nuan took out a sachet, and the captain frowned: "Why does this sachet look so familiar to me?"
Huo Jue also saw the sachet in her hand, which happened to be the one he had picked up some time ago.
He stared at her blankly. Wen Xia Nuan smiled and said, "Huo Jue, do you recognize this sachet?"
Huo Jue nodded. "I found it a while ago. I was going to ask the brigade about it, but Wen Zhiqing said it belonged to someone you know."
Wen Xia Nuan responded, "I believe that there are very few villagers present who are unfamiliar with this sachet."
"Isn't this Gu Yiyi's? I gave her the cloth for this sachet when she was making a patchwork quilt for her son!"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded towards the Fatty Auntie who was speaking: "It's Gu Yiyi's. The herbs in this sachet aren't good stuff either."
She tore open the sachet and took out the licorice inside: "I remember when I first came here, I met Gu Yiyi, and I felt dizzy, and then I fell into the water!"
"Wen Zhiqing, what you mean by this is that you fell into the water because of a plot by Gu Yiyi and Li Tianqi?"
The captain felt helpless, his brows slightly furrowed. He couldn't accept this answer for a while: "Then why didn't you say it in the beginning?"
Wen Zhiqing looked directly at the team leader: "If I say this, how can I expose it without evidence that they are together?"
"Captain, I'm 100% sure that Li Tianqi framed me when I fell into the water!"
Chen Yanfang stood aside, her whole body trembling. She touched her body and felt the hairs on her body stand on end. "Captain, if this is true, then it can only mean that Li Tianqi is too scheming, right?"
"Wen Zhiqing, are you sure you can take responsibility for what you are saying now?"
His brows knitted tightly together, and Wen Xia Nuan nodded without thinking: "Of course! Captain, I promise that I can take responsibility for what I say now!"
"Where is Gu Yiyi?"
The captain looked towards the crowd. Gu Yiyi, who was standing in the crowd, dodged back in fear, but was still pushed out.
All eyes were turned towards her from all directions. Gu Yiyi lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Gu Yiyi, tell me, did you conspire with Li Tianqi?"
Li Tianqi's gaze also fell on Gu Yiyi. She lowered her head and curled up her body.
The captain frowned and said, "Gu Yiyi, please don't be too timid to take responsibility for your actions!"
"I don't."
Gu Yiyi looked up and glanced at the captain, then when her eyes met Wen Xia Nuan who was not far away, she only glanced at him and then looked away.
Wen Xia Nuan's lips curled up slightly, and Gu Yiyi said at this moment: "Captain, this sachet is mine!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar.
Li Tianqi, who was lying on the ground, wanted to stand up and curse, but because of his injuries, he stared at Gu Yiyi viciously, wishing he could eat her flesh and drink her blood right now!
Gu Yiyi could sense Li Tianqi's anger towards her. She shrank her neck in fear, but thinking of her own choice, she still looked at the captain with a stiff upper lip: "Captain, Wen Zhiqing's fall into the water was indeed caused by Li Tianqi and me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Tianqi stared at Gu Yiyi intently. He struggled to get up, but Huo Jue held him down tightly. "Behave!"
The captain also frowned. When he heard these words, his eyes fell on Gu Yiyi: "Go on!"
Only then did Gu Yiyi tell Li Tianqi all of his plans one by one.
"This Li Tianqi is really hard to tell!"
"Who said it wasn't true? How could this man be so cruel? To actually plot against someone like this?"
Li Tianqi was now slumped on the ground, feeling that everything was ruined.
Huo Jue let go of Li Tianqi and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Did everyone hear that? This shameless person, who tried to use tricks to achieve his ulterior motives, truly deserves to be hacked into pieces!"
She gasped and calmed down her inner anger: "Captain, how to deal with Li Tianqi next is all up to you!"
She didn't want to get involved in these matters at all.
The captain's face was also very ugly. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen under his nose. At this moment, he heard Wen Xia Nuan's voice and nodded: "Wen Zhiqing, don't worry. If something like this happens, I will definitely punish them severely!"
"I will also report these things to the town. When they have news, I promise to inform you first!"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded, feeling a little relieved. With the captain's words, she could just be a hands-off boss.
"Huo Jue, let's go back."
Huo Jue heard Wen Xia Nuan's voice and quickly responded, "Okay."
The two of them walked out side by side. His eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan. Before he could speak, Wen Xia Nuan paused and her eyes fell on Gu Yiyi.
Gu Yiyi looked at Wen Xia Nuan with a frank gaze. She was silent for a moment, but she mustered up the courage to say, "What you told me before..."
"Don't worry, since I promised you that I would do it, I will let you and your son reform in the same place!"
Gu Yiyi felt relieved, and she smiled at Wen Xia Nuan: "That's good, Wen Zhiqing, thank you very much."
