After the conversation between the two just now, Amu has realized that these people are here to rescue Old Man Wang and the others, and it is not a robbery at all.
He didn't come home to inquire about any news. If that's the case, then he has nothing to be afraid of!
Judging from their appearance, they didn't dare to attract the attention of the villagers, which means they must have come here secretly.
Maybe they didn't follow the normal process, so if there were too many people, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Thinking this in his mind, he shouted outside.
"Help! There's a thief!"
It happened in the blink of an eye. After hearing his shout, the comrades from the armed forces immediately pulled Simao and his men out.
Although they reacted quickly, they were surrounded by villagers before they could even leave the village.
When Amu saw that people were trapped, he immediately started to fan the flames.
"Fellow villagers, we can't let them go. They sneaked into our house while we were sleeping!"
When the villagers heard there was a thief, they immediately became furious and glared at them. Those who didn't know would think they had really done something bad. "Tell me, what on earth do you do?"
Some people even pointed sticks at them, and the comrades in the armed forces immediately took defensive actions when they saw this.
In an instant, the two groups were at odds with each other.
Seeing this, Su Zhe quickly stepped forward and explained to everyone with a smile, "Everyone has misunderstood. We are not thieves. We are here to rescue someone. Our child has been missing for a few days, and his uncle is very worried. That's why we called the police and asked the comrades from the armed forces to help find him. We are not thieves. We just received a mission to call the police!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "If you're here to look for someone, why are you climbing over the wall? Why not just come in openly and look for them?"
Someone chimed in, "That's right, a bunch of grown men like you are robbing other people's homes. Who knows if you are actually thieves? No, you need to be sent to the commune!"
"Yes, send them to the Commune!"
For a moment, the crowd was outraged and everyone agreed, clamoring to send them to the commune and let the people there deal with them.
At this moment, Old Man Wang stood up and spoke. He took a few quick steps and stood directly. "Folk people, they are really not thieves. They just came to pick us up. As for why they had to climb over the wall, I think you should ask Amu and the others, they should know better!"
Having said this, he glanced at Amu who was standing next to him.
"As you know, a few days ago, a few of us were locked up by Amu and his men. For such a long time, no one offered to save us. So, now you want to ask why they climbed over the wall? Why do you think it was?"
When the last sentence was uttered, some people felt ashamed and quickly lowered their heads.
"Why did they choose to climb over the wall? It's because they were afraid of alerting everyone. You all know the situation in the village better than I do. If they hadn't been careful, they would have ended up in this situation, surrounded by everyone. Could it be that they just like climbing over the wall? It's all because of you guys!"
After hearing what Old Man Wang said, some people were unhappy and immediately stood up to refute him. "You have a point, but even if that's the case, it doesn't mean they are police officers!"
At this point, he pointedly said, "Besides, you're not from our village anymore, so your words are completely untrustworthy. What's going on? Do you think that if you stand up and testify, we'll all have to listen to you? I'm telling you, that's impossible!"
Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang were hiding in the dark, watching them like this, secretly worried about them.
Zhu Qiang even asked directly, "Captain, I don't think this group of people can get out today!"
"By the way, who is that old man? Isn't he the leader's uncle? Why do the villagers say he's not from this village? What's going on?"
Huo Jingchen shook his head. He didn't know what was going on, but looking at the old man, he subconsciously felt that the man should be the one they were looking for. In addition, there were so many herbs here, which all proved that this old man was very unusual.
"Fellow villagers, please let us go. We are the police. We are here to look for someone. Even if you go to the commune, we are still the police, not the thieves you say we are!"
Upon hearing this, someone immediately spoke up, "Since you're not afraid, then go find the commune. There's nothing much to say!"
Although he said that, he still went to the commune for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, especially for Su Zhe. He came secretly and did not report it at all. If this got to the higher-ups, he would definitely be criticized, and Leng Feng might even be implicated.
For a moment, Su Zhe was also in a dilemma.
However, the comrades from the armed forces were not afraid at all when they heard that they had to go to the commune to find the police.
The minister must have reported this to the county party committee, so it doesn't matter even if the higher-ups find out.
They have already obtained permission, so what is there to be afraid of!
But Su Zhe didn't think so. They had come here to find Leng Zhao secretly, without going through any legal procedures.
If this gets to the commune, everything will be exposed.
That’s why disagreements arise because the two sides have different opinions.
For a moment, the scene was frozen!
Zhu Qiang watched Su Zhe and the others being trapped like this in the dark, and felt secretly worried for them.
Glancing at Huo Jingchen beside him, he asked directly, "Captain, should we go help them?"
Huo Jingchen shook his head. In this situation, even if they went out, the result would be the same.
The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem. The leader just now said that they were thieves or something, which was deliberately provoking the villagers' anger.
If he hadn't been there to fan the flames of these villagers, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Looking at the man who was looking at Su Zhe and the others with a smug look on his face, Huo Jingchen fell into deep thought. He didn't know why, but the man gave him a very familiar feeling. Subconsciously, he felt as if he had seen this person somewhere before.
But that's not right. Logically, I shouldn't have seen him before. After all, this is his first time here. Could it be that I have seen him somewhere else before?
Just as Huo Jingchen was thinking this, he heard the man speak again.
"Uncle, I advise you to go back honestly. Otherwise, if you continue like this, not only will you not be able to escape, but you will also implicate those who came to rescue you!"
Old man Wang glanced at his younger brother Wang Shouren, wanting to see what he would say. As a result, when Wang Shouren saw him looking at him, he quickly lowered his head.
"Uncle, it all depends on your choice!"
