However, when Accountant Zheng stepped into the brigade headquarters and saw the people inside, the smug smile on his face froze instantly, and the arrogant words in his mouth also stopped abruptly.
The disappointment of his plan failing made Accountant Zheng completely disregard his disguise and directly questioned:
"Why is Shi Zhiqing here? Where's the captain? Didn't we just hear the captain's voice?"
Shi Yan pretended to be confused.
"Did Accountant Zheng hear correctly? The team leader isn't here, and it was clearly Aunt He who was shouting just now."
Shi Yan's words finally reminded everyone, and someone finally remembered Widow He.
"By the way, where is Widow He? We came here just now because we heard her cry for help."
"Ah! What happened to Widow He?"
Someone with sharp eyes noticed Widow He fainting on the ground and screamed in surprise.
Some people began to speculate:
"Didn't Widow He just shout that the captain was trying to bully her? Do you think that Widow He refused to comply, so the captain got angry and attacked Widow He?"
Seeing that the others were also beginning to look doubtful, Shi Yan quickly spoke:
"I told you the captain wasn't here. I was the only one in the headquarters when I arrived. Aunt He came over a while later."
Everyone became even more puzzled when they heard this.
"The captain is not here, so what is Widow He yelling about? She even falsely accused the captain of being a hooligan and almost tricked us."
At this time, those team members who had a good relationship with Lin Weiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak for Lin Weiguo.
"I told you the captain isn't that kind of person. Besides, we're not stupid. Who would be so foolish as to act like a hooligan towards a female comrade in broad daylight? That would get you shot straight away."
In fact, they said this just now on the road, but everyone was very emotional at that time and couldn't hear it at all.
Now that they didn't see anyone, they calmed down and realized that they had just misunderstood Lin Weiguo.
The person who had been shouting the loudest before immediately put all the blame on Widow He.
"It's not our fault. If anyone should be blamed, blame Widow He. Why is she yelling for no reason? If we hadn't heard her cry for help, we wouldn't have rushed over to save her!"
The others naturally echoed.
Everyone believed Shi Yan's words, but Accountant Zheng was unwilling to give in!
He had finally found this opportunity. If he failed this time, Lin Weiguo would definitely be on guard next time, and it would be difficult for him to plot against him again.
Moreover, he also didn't believe that Widow He would make such a stupid mistake. If Lin Weiguo was really not here, why would she shout like that!
Immediately asked again in a harsh voice:
"Shi Zhiqing, you haven't answered my question yet. Why are you at the brigade headquarters now, after work? And why did Widow He suddenly faint?"
Shi Yan had no choice but to tell him that he wanted to ask for leave.
"...As for Aunt He fainting..."
He pondered for a moment and was sure that he could not betray Lin Weiguo, so he could only grit his teeth and take the responsibility himself.
"I accidentally pushed her down, causing her to knock over the corner of the table. I will compensate Aunt He for her medical expenses."
As soon as these words were spoken, several aunts immediately smelled a hint of gossip.
They looked back and forth at Shi Yan and Widow He, and finally found some clues.
I saw that Widow He's collar was a little too open, as if someone had torn it open forcibly.
Moreover, her clothes were too tight, and now they were rubbing against her waist, revealing a large area of snow-white flesh around her waist.
When they looked at Shi Yan again, he was frowning, obviously looking disgusted.
They looked at each other for a moment, as if they had realized something.
The outspoken aunt immediately expressed her guess.
"Widow He dressed like this for no reason. Could it be that she is deliberately trying to seduce someone?"
Someone started it, and then others followed suit.
"Of course. And, you don't know, Widow He often stares at Shi Zhiqing. Didn't she want Shi Zhiqing to massage her breasts last time?"
Speaking of this, everyone has an impression.
They were all at the scene when the dam accident happened, so naturally they remembered this.
After this analysis, everyone immediately figured out the whole story.
It must be that Widow He dressed like this on purpose, trying to seduce Shi Zhiqing, and then followed Shi Zhiqing all the way to the brigade headquarters.
But even though she came to him on her own initiative, Shi Zhiqing didn't want to pay any attention to her.
That's when he came up with such a vicious idea to blame Shi Zhiqing.
As for why she shouted that it was the team leader who bullied her, instead of Shi Zhiqing.
Everyone also automatically thought that it must be because if she shouted that the educated youth bullied her, no one would believe her.
If no one comes, then her performance will be in vain.
The more everyone thought about it, the more they believed it to be the case, and they looked at Widow He with contempt.
What followed was sympathy for Shi Yan.
The aunt with a strong sense of justice directly stood up for Shi Yan.
"Shi Zhiqing, this isn't your fault. I know you accidentally pushed someone down because you resisted too fiercely. Widow He deserved to hit her head. Why should you compensate her?"
The aunt who disliked Widow He also nodded in agreement:
"That's right, if she hadn't had such shameless thoughts, she wouldn't have suffered such a punishment!"
"I think even God couldn't stand it and punished her on purpose!"
“…”
Shi Yan: “…”
Originally, he didn't understand what Lin Ran meant, but now listening to these aunts talking to each other, is the meaning behind their words the same as what he understood?
What widow wants to rely on him?
Is he resisting too fiercely?
When Shi Yan thought of this scene, he felt sick all over. He pursed his thin lips tightly, feeling more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.
But it seemed that there was no need for him to explain, as everyone present agreed with the aunts' guess.
Even Accountant Zheng couldn't find an excuse to refute.
It’s not that Widow He has feelings for Shi Yan, but that Shi Yan has feelings for Widow He?
How would those girls in the team who were always following Shi Yan feel?
This is also the reason why Lin Ran asked Shi Yan for help.
If it was Lin Weiguo who stayed, those team members might still believe what Widow He said.
Coupled with Accountant Zheng's instigation, it would be difficult for Lin Weiguo to prove his innocence.
But if it were Shi Yan, there would be no such worries at all.
Lin Ran and Lin Weiguo came in at this time.
Lin Weiguo put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone with a puzzled look.
"It's already dark, what are you all doing here at the brigade headquarters at this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene that was just full of chatter fell into silence in an instant, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
The main reason was that they felt guilty. How could they dare to say that they had just suspected the captain of having bad intentions towards Widow He?
However, Lin Weiguo didn't want to bother with them. These people were obviously being used by Accountant Zheng.
So he said this immediately.
"If you're alright, go back quickly."
As soon as the words fell, everyone stopped gossiping and scattered like birds and beasts, running away as fast as they could.
