Chapter 303 Sweeping Them All
The people inside didn't stop or quiet down; perhaps because of the commotion, their panting and screaming grew louder and louder.
At first, everyone was just making a fuss, but as the noise grew louder, people in the courtyard started drinking frequently.
Gu Qingming looked at them like that, then looked at Li Chengda. The man's eyes were red. After drinking two glasses of wine, he took off his shirt, grabbed the person next to him, and went into the house.
His action seemed to have flipped some evil switch, and the others in the courtyard also grabbed the women next to them and went inside.
If that's not enough, then the two of them will go together, becoming utterly insane and causing chaos!
Only when Gu Qingming was left alone in the courtyard, and only when all sorts of disgusting words came from inside the house, did Gu Qingming take out his phone and send a text message.
Before long, the door was opened and about ten policemen walked in. Before Gu Qingming could say anything, their dejected voices filled the entire courtyard.
Gu Qingming watched the police go inside, and heard shouts, screams, and cries of injustice coming from within. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Officer Wang pointed to the toilet: "Go inside, vomit the alcohol, and when the person comes out, pretend to be surprised."
Gu Qingming knew that the other party was protecting him. After all, if the villagers knew that he was the one who called the police, he would likely become universally disliked. Although he didn't care, his parents still needed to live in the village for another year or two.
So when Li Chengda and the others were handcuffed and led out of the house, they heard Gu Qingming vomiting from the toilet.
Perhaps the noise in the yard was too loud, because the other person came out in a panic, water dripping from their chest, staring blankly at everything.
Damn it, how come this guy is so lucky! Li Chengda cursed inwardly when he saw that only Gu Qingming hadn't been arrested.
Then he looked at the police and shouted, "Officer! There's another one here! Did you miss one? We're all in cahoots!" Since we're already here, let's go to the police station too! Nobody can escape!
With such a commotion, how could the village not know?
When they came out, not far from Li Dacheng's door, the village was filled with people of all ages.
Seeing that his wife and children were also there, Gu Qingming nodded and followed the police car away.
"Why are you arresting so many people! What did they do wrong?!"
"Could it be gambling? I've seen those guys gambling over there on the playground every night!"
"And then there are the women, tsk tsk tsk, look at those old men, their bare backs, those scratches! So filthy!"
"I never expected those people, who looked so honest, to be so cunning!"
"I just saw Gu Qingming! My God, what could have driven him to such despair!"
"Ha, men, money corrupts them. I knew Gu Qingming was up to no good a long time ago!"
"Poor Li Xiang! She should be enjoying life, but this disgusting thing happened! If she gets a divorce, she won't get much money, and her child is so outstanding. How can she be willing to get a divorce? If she doesn't, this disgust will stay in her heart, she can't swallow it or spit it out! Alas, how tragic!"
"Exactly! Our family is the best. Although we're a bit poor, at least we won't go out and mess around!"
The voices included gloating, jealousy, mockery, and regret.
Although she knew her uncle was innocent, Gu Yin still looked at her aunt with concern because so many villagers were saying such things.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go home. Your uncle will be back tonight."
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that Gu Qingming entered the house.
When Gu Yin went out, she saw Officer Wang get into his car and leave; he was driving a ride-sharing car.
"How are you? Are you alright?" the old lady asked anxiously. Although she knew the truth, she was still worried.
Gu Qingming took the water Gu Shu handed him, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, but it's hard to say about those people."
Gu Qingming was exhausted after being questioned all day. He rested for a while before continuing.
"Li Chengda and his gang were caught engaging in prostitution and organizing others to sell their bodies. Several of them tested positive for drugs, and it was also discovered that they were involved in large-scale gambling. These people will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison! Other people in the village were only caught engaging in prostitution, but the impact was too severe, so they will be sentenced to three to five years. We should have the results in a few days."
Thinking of those families, the old lady and the old man both sighed heavily.
"A couple of days ago, some old guys called me and said that several families who were relocated due to demolition have already gone into debt before the money even arrived in their accounts. Some have gotten divorced and married younger men. Others have had their houses mortgaged before they even received their compensation. Some have even lost their families. Money is scary when you don't have it, and it's scary when you have it. You don't know if it's good or bad!" The old man sighed again after saying this.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't think too much about it. It mainly depends on what kind of person controls the money. It has little to do with the money itself. If the person is a good one, then the money can play a great role in their hands. But if the other party is like Li Chengda, the more money they have, the more trouble they will cause."
The old man nodded: "You're right. Our family is moving forward together, and no one is holding us back. This money is a good thing!"
The next morning, Gu Yin and Gu Shu, who had taken the night before because Gu Qingming hadn't returned, got up at six o'clock to attend the first class.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a lot of people squatting at the door. After learning that Gu Qingming had been released, many people from the village came to wait, wanting to hear the first-hand news.
Gu Yin and the others did not linger and rode away.
Gu Qingming, instead, took his bowl and chopsticks and sat down at the doorway, chatting with everyone.
"Gu Da, how come everyone else is in trouble, but you're the only one who's alright?"
Did you pay?
Seeing the gossipy looks on their faces, Gu Qingming laughed and said, "I'm fine, of course I didn't get involved in anything! Let me tell you, Li Chengda..."
Gu Qingming recounted everything those people had done.
The crowd gasped and cursed. Those who had come to cause trouble for Gu Qingming were the family members of the arrested people. After hearing what Gu Qingming said, they all slunk away.
"Gu Da is so smart! Otherwise, you would have fallen into Li Chengda's trap! Damn it! How could there be such a terrifying person in our village!"
"Oh dear, Li Dacheng and the others invited me to drink the other day, and I had a few sips. Could they have poisoned me? Could I get addicted?"
"Ah! I was at the same table with him when I attended a wedding!"
Seeing their reaction, Gu Qingming explained again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, after this incident, the villagers would always be on guard whenever they saw a stranger enter the village, for fear that it would be another Li Chengda!
