Chapter 23: Everyone Flees When Disaster Strikes



But our people have investigated and found none of them, as if they disappeared out of thin air."

If these neighbors had not been able to prove that the Xu family had not moved or shown any unusual behavior during this period, the police would have suspected that the Xu family had staged this incident themselves.

The group of people who were called in for questioning and to watch the excitement felt their hair stand on end after hearing what the public security comrades said.

If this isn't dirt, then what is it? After all, if it's anything other than dirt, any method used to transport these things will leave traces.

Even if the old Xu couple and the people in their family were all knocked unconscious, there would still be traces left.

But no!

The more the villagers thought about it, the more frightened they became. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the Xu family must have done something immoral to attract these things.

Zhang Chunhua moved back with a pale face, and her expression only improved after she moved out of Xu's yard.

After all, gossip is nice, but it is not as important as her life.

It’s better to stay away from the Xu family in the future. It’s too weird.

Originally, when they were talking about the Xu family getting into trouble with some bad guys, it was just their speculation, but now that the police have said so, it must be true.

After someone noticed Zhang Chunhua's actions, they also moved out of the Xu family yard carefully.

Soon, the group of onlookers ran away, and even the people who had just lent money to Bai Xiuying began to sweat coldly on their foreheads.

Although the money lent to Bai Xiuying was not much, what would they do if the dirty things followed the same route she came and came to their house?

For a time, the entire Taoyuan Village became panic-stricken. After all, they had lived there for so many years, and such a strange thing had never happened in the village.

Even the village chief was nervous after hearing what the public security comrades said, but he was the village chief and he couldn't show his fear, otherwise if the villagers saw him, it would prove that the Xu family had attracted some unclean things.

But why is my heart beating faster and faster?

No, I'd better not come to the Xu family again in the future. This is too weird.

Bai Xiuying and Xu Dingbang, who were standing by, were also frightened and their faces turned pale. After all, this was their home.

Others can still run away, but why can't they run away? Don't they even want to leave their ancestral home?

No, the two of them could also go to the army to join their son. As long as their son was there, they wouldn't have to worry about having no place to live.

Originally, he had planned to borrow more money before going to the military district to find his son, but now Xu Dingbang couldn't care less. It would be better for him to leave first. Otherwise, if he lost his life, he would lose everything.

Thinking of this, Xu Dingbang looked at the village chief and said sincerely, "Village chief, my wife and I had originally planned to visit a distant relative today, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.

But we've already made an appointment with our relatives, so there's no reason to break our promise. We bought our train tickets yesterday, and we're going to miss the train if we don't leave now, so I'd like to trouble the village chief to help take care of things at home."

After saying that, Xu Dingbang turned and left without caring about the reactions of the village chief and others.

He didn't even care about Bai Xiuying. He just walked out the door at a brisk pace and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Are you kidding? Xu Dingbang almost died once, and he doesn’t want to die again so soon.

As the old saying goes: It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Who would want to die when they can live a good life?

village head:……

Public Security Comrade: ...

Villagers: ...

Seeing Xu Dingbang walking out in a hurry, not only Bai Xiuying was stunned, but even the villagers and public security comrades were dumbfounded.

No, you just ignore the thief who came to your house?

Just left like that?

He even abandoned his own wife.

It's true that when disaster strikes, everyone runs away.

Zhang Chunhua showed disdain on her face. Although she looked down on Bai Xiuying who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, Xu Dingbang was not a good person either.

When something happened, he had no sense of responsibility and even abandoned his wife and ran away. She looked at Bai Xiuying with sympathy and reminded her:

"Bai Xiuying, Lao Xu just said that you are planning to go visit relatives today?"

Bai Xiuying finally came to her senses after hearing Zhang Chunhua's question. She didn't bother to answer and hurriedly chased after him, "Lao Xu, Lao Xu, wait for me."

Seeing Bai Xiuying's legs almost leaving a shadow after running, everyone sighed.

"This old Xu is such a jerk. When he was seriously ill, Bai Xiuying was so anxious that she ran around everywhere trying to find a way to save his life. But now, when he encountered a problem, he just walked away without caring about Xiuying's life or death."

"Who says he isn't? I used to think Lao Xu was honest, dutiful, and kind. Now it seems he was just pretending."

Zhang Chunhua curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Neither of the Xu couple is easy to deal with. Think about what Wan Ning was like before she married into the Xu family, and what she is like now."

Before long, everyone present opened their mouths and eyes wide.

"Oh my god, now that you mention it, I just remembered that Wan Ning used to be a famous beauty in our village. But look at Wan Ning now. She has no flesh on her body and looks pale and skinny."

"That's true. Although Wan Ning doesn't look ugly now, she's completely different from a year ago. It's all thanks to her good foundation."

"Over the past year or so, Bai Xiuying has always been saying how good they are to Wan Ning. If they were really good to Wan Ning, how could Wan Ning become like this now?"
