Chapter 57 was a huge blunder.
"What...what did you say?"
Chen Liguo was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant and said with a shocked expression, "You mean, the person whose leg was bitten off by a wild boar yesterday was Hou San? He... wasn't his name Hou Tianci?"
Hou Chengbiao hurriedly said, "My son's name is Hou Tianci. Hou San is just his birth order. By the way, what do you mean by having his leg bitten off by a wild boar?"
"Hou San is Hou Tianci..."
Chen Liguo's lips twitched; this was truly a huge blunder.
He looked at Hou Chengbiao and said, "You are Hou Tianci's father? Then you should really thank this educated youth Gu. Did he save your son from the mouth of a wild boar? Your son would have really died."
"What?"
Hou Chengbiao's face twitched, and he looked at Gu Yanxiao with an embarrassed expression, saying, "Gu Zhiqing, I was reckless this time, I..."
"Don't rush to apologize. Originally, I didn't want to alarm the village about this. But since it's come all the way to my doorstep today, there are some things that really need to be clarified."
Gu Yanxiao waved his hand and glanced at Tong Liqun.
This glance gave Tong Liqun a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Gu Yanxiao pointed at Xie Manman and said, "Officer Chen, the reason why Hou San had evil intentions towards my wife was because of this Xie Zhiqing's instigation."
"Please explain the situation clearly." Chen Liguo immediately took out his notebook, ready to take a statement.
Qiao Jinfeng, however, quickly subdued Xie Manman to prevent her from escaping.
"Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me? I reported Su Xiangwan. They say she didn't kill anyone, so what? Maybe Hou San is already dead?"
Didn't a wild boar bite off its leg?
Perhaps he has already bled to death?
In that case, who knows whether Hou San was killed by a wild boar or by Gu Yanxiao?
"Shut up, or I'll get rough!"
Qiao Jinfeng already disliked Xie Manman, and now she hated her even more, so she swung her fist.
Xie Manman immediately shut her mouth. In this era, there was no such thing as prohibiting violent law enforcement. If she was really beaten by Qiao Jinfeng, she could only accept her bad luck.
"What exactly happened?" Hou Chengbiao was in a panic. How could San'er have had his leg bitten off by a wild boar?
Why did he go up the mountain?
Su Xiangwan stepped out from behind Gu Yanxiao and said, "Yesterday, it was this Xie Zhiqing who insisted on dragging me up the mountain to dig for ginseng. I didn't want to go, but she kept pestering me and wouldn't leave, which made me even more certain that her purpose was definitely not that simple. She probably wanted to harm me, so I simply agreed and prepared to see what kind of trick she was up to."
"Su Qingqing, what you're doing is really too risky!" Qiao Jinfeng looked at Su Xiangwan disapprovingly. As a police officer, she was most opposed to such risky behavior.
"Yes, sister-in-law, if something like this happens again, remember to tell our police department directly. Don't take the risk yourself again."
Wu Yong'an looked at Su Xiangwan with lingering fear, his gaze particularly drawn to her protruding belly.
The team leader is going to be a father soon, that's wonderful!
"I didn't really want to go, but Xie Manman kept pestering me." At this moment, Su Xiangwan also noticed the disapproving expressions of Gu Yanxiao and his parents, who arrived later.
Feeling a little guilty, he touched his nose.
She continued, "I followed Xie Manman up the back mountain, but when we were halfway up, she said she needed to relieve herself and told me to wait for her there..."
Su Xiangwan recounted everything that happened that day in detail.
Of course, she subconsciously ignored the part where she deliberately kicked Hou San into the jungle, only saying that after she turned around and knocked Hou San unconscious, she hurriedly ran down the mountain.
At this moment, Gu Yanxiao perfectly picked up the conversation: "I left work early yesterday to cook, and my wife told me about it with a scared look on her face."
“My wife is a kind-hearted person. Although she hates Hou San for doing such a terrible thing, she doesn’t want to cause a death. So she asked me to go up the mountain and bring him down. When I arrived, I saw Hou San with his leg bitten off by a wild boar. After driving the wild boar away, I took Hou San to the police station.”
When Wu Yong'an heard Gu Yanxiao say that she had left work early to cook, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Who would have thought that the regimental commander, known as the "cold-faced devil" in the army, is actually a "virtuous" stay-at-home husband at home?
He simply couldn't imagine his own commander cooking while wearing an apron—it was terrifying!
"You're lying! I didn't do it!" Xie Manman stubbornly insisted, refusing to admit that she had done these things.
"Whether he's lying or not, you can all go and ask Hou San together." Gu Yanxiao snorted coldly, not even giving her a glance.
Chen Liguo quickly said, "They are not lying. Hou Sandu confessed to all of these things yesterday, and the records are in the office."
When Liu Pandi heard him say this, he felt extremely heartbroken. His precious son had his leg bitten off by a wild boar.
She glared at Su Xiangwan with venomous hatred: "You heartless bastard, how could you be so cruel? You knocked my son unconscious on the mountain, causing him to have his leg bitten off by a wild boar! I'll fight you to the death!"
As she spoke, she bared her teeth and claws, about to pounce on Su Xiangwan.
This time, without Gu Yanxiao having to make a move, Wu Yong'an, who was already prepared on the side, grabbed Liu Pandi directly: "You better behave yourself. I've never seen such a stupid person as you. Your son tried to harm people and got his comeuppance. What does that have to do with the victims? If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll handcuff you too!"
Wu Yong'an's uniform and the handcuffs around his waist were still very intimidating.
They have always been bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, especially when dealing with rural women like Liu Pandi.
After being shaken off by Wu Yong'an, he turned pale with fright.
Tong Liqun also realized what was happening and stepped forward to Liu Pandi and Hou Chengbiao and his wife, saying, "Hou family, what you're saying is too heartless. Although Su Zhiqing knocked out your Hou San, it was because Hou San wanted to do something bad to her. If Su Zhiqing had been more ruthless and simply abandoned Hou San on the mountain, do you think your Hou San would still be alive?"
"In this regard, no one can possibly care about your son anymore. In my opinion, Su and Gu, the educated youth, are your son's saviors. If we're talking about who harmed your son, it's Xie Manman who is the real scourge."
"If it weren't for her outrageous and harmful idea of having a baby, your son wouldn't have ended up like this."
