Wang San recently joined the Red Armband group. With his excellent martial arts skills, he stood out from the crowd and became the leader of this group of children.
He's now focused on making a name for himself and performing well.
Therefore, after seeing the complaint from the street office, they rushed to arrest people without even conducting a basic investigation.
Hearing Xie Yan recount the events in such detail, Wang San hesitated. His brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and conflict.
Xie Yan keenly sensed his wavering and quickly pressed his advantage, "I strongly suspect that this whistleblower letter is from that family who are unwilling to accept defeat and want to use you to deal with our family!"
"Hey! They're clearly using you as a pawn, taking advantage of you, Comrade Wang!"
Upon hearing that he had been used as a pawn, this was something the hot-blooded young Wang San couldn't stand. His expression remained unchanged, but he waved to the group of young men behind him and solemnly ordered, "Go, go to the village and ask about the situation. Find out the whole story."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Yan and said, "Come on, I'll go with you to your house!"
Xie Yan nodded hurriedly, then turned and led the group home in a rush.
Upon entering the house, I witnessed that heartbreaking scene.
Because of mouth pain, Chaochao has been unable to eat lately. She had just finished drinking milk, and the pain in her tongue made her so uncomfortable that she clutched her clothes and silently shed tears.
Xie Yan felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, her heart aching beyond measure.
His eyes were red, his voice trembled, and he almost cried as he said to Wang San, "The child's tongue was almost broken off. It was only with great difficulty that it was reattached at the hospital, but now it hurts so much that he can't eat or drink anything..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yan's throat was filled with a soreness, and he choked up, unable to utter another word. His eyes were fixed on Chaochao. In just a few days, Chaochao's once round and lovely cheeks had sunken, and she had become so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. Her once bright and lively eyes were filled with tears, stubbornly glistening, which made Xie Yan's heart ache and he almost cried.
Wang San stood there, his gaze fixed on the small figure, as if he had been frozen in place.
The tiny Chaochao looked up, her large, dark eyes glistening with tears that streamed down her face like broken beads. Her fingertips were white from twisting the hem of her clothes, yet she bit her lip hard, swallowing her sobs. Her strong yet pitiful appearance was like a sharp steel needle, piercing straight into Wang San's heart and causing him excruciating pain.
"Damn it!" Wang San couldn't help but curse under his breath, "How could that crazy woman do such a thing to such a cute child!"
His youthful impetuosity ignited his sense of justice.
Seeing Chaochao like this, he suddenly turned around, took a few steps, and then said to Xie Yan with a guilty look, "I'm sorry about what happened today, but don't worry, we will definitely get to the bottom of this. We will never let such a distorted report go unpunished!"
Xie Yan slowly turned around, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and gave Wang San a smile.
That smile was broken; it was the smile of a parent who was exhausted from worrying about their child.
Through the gap in Xie Yan's shoulder, Wang San saw the child who had been silently shedding tears again. His heart felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He turned his head away and hurriedly left.
As soon as he got outside, Wang San ran into his brother.
The brothers looked somewhat embarrassed and stammered to Wang San, "Brother, that pretty boy was right! A lot of kids in the village have been beaten up by that fat woman!"
A short, thin boy next to him clenched his fists angrily and said, "Big brother, people who beat children like that are no good. Why don't we just stop arresting that village chief?"
He was also bullied by adults when he was a child, so he deeply abhors the act of hitting children.
Wang San nodded solemnly, his gaze resolute. "Let's go, find out who wrote this whistleblower letter!"
"They dare to use us to do bad things! They have no respect for us at all!"
The other teenagers were also filled with enthusiasm. Upon hearing this, they could no longer hold back and, one by one, they rubbed their hands together and hurriedly set off.
On the other side, the fat woman's family was still happily waiting for the good news that Yu Shan had been arrested, but after waiting and waiting, they received the news that the group of people had already left.
The fat woman's husband's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He had been certain that Yu Shan would be arrested, and was even secretly pleased with himself. But now he was being told that nothing had happened, which made him furious.
If Yu Shan is arrested, I can pull some strings behind the scenes and, by virtue of my status as a Party member, become the next brigade leader.
When the time comes, that Xie family will be able to mold things however they want.
Now not only has everything fallen through, but Yu Shan is also staying at home perfectly fine.
The fat woman's face contorted with anger.
Wang San was indeed quite capable; in just three days, he had uncovered the whole truth. It turned out that the whistleblower letter was indeed the work of the fat woman's husband.
He was dissatisfied with the police station's decision and, after much thought, came up with this underhanded scheme. He secretly instigated the fat woman's nephew to write this letter of complaint.
At this moment, the fat woman's husband, seeing that his scheme had been exposed, showed no sign of panic. Instead, he put on a pained expression, looked at Wang San, and said helplessly, "Comrade, I really didn't instigate anything."
"Sigh, I just went to my father-in-law's house that day and told them about my wife's situation."
He paused, as if struggling with something, and finally sighed dejectedly, "I admit that I was in a bad mood at the time, and I didn't say anything nice. I even cursed at the captain a few times."
"But everyone in the village gets into arguments and exchanges insults, but I never really thought about becoming a whistleblower!"
“I am a Party member. I always pay my Party dues on time, even if I have to borrow money from all over the place. How could I have such a wrong idea?”
"I noticed that my nephew looked off, so I specifically advised him not to do anything reckless."
“There were people from my father-in-law’s family and the same village present at the time, and they can all testify for me. I really didn’t instigate anything!”
The fat woman's husband looked completely at ease. As he spoke, he glanced at his father-in-law, then lowered his head with a bitter smile, looking extremely regretful.
In his heart, he had already cursed Wang San and his group of people to the bone. Didn't these idiots usually just arrest people directly?
Why did they have to stir up trouble this time?
But he wasn't flustered; he wasn't afraid of being investigated.
After all, he didn't say anything too explicit at the time; he only mentioned the subsidies his wife had given to her family over the years.
He knew his father-in-law's opportunistic nature all too well; without these subsidies, how could his father-in-law possibly let it go?
Therefore, he only needed to fan the flames slightly behind the scenes, and things would naturally develop in the direction he expected.
Unfortunately, in the end, all their efforts were in vain.
