Chapter 142 Kick Cao He Away
The young girl leading the way stopped in front of an old man.
The old man was leaning back in a chair woven from bamboo strips, reading a philosophy book in his hands. He was wearing brand new clothes: a dark blue cotton jacket, black cotton trousers, and a pair of Jiefang brand cloth shoes.
The young girl said softly, "Grandpa Wang, someone is looking for you."
Fan Xiangyang stood up straight, and the old man put down the book, revealing a face that was still easygoing and approachable despite his age.
In an instant, Fan Xiangyang suddenly felt that the old professor's temperament was very familiar.
He secretly glanced at Professor Cao beside him. It was no wonder that the teacher and student had such similar temperaments.
Just in this comparison, Professor Cao's temperament seems a little impetuous.
Fan Xiangyang said solemnly, "Professor Wang, we are representing the Central Committee to vindicate you and invite you to attend the Central Economic Conference."
Seeing Professor Wang's gaze pass through him and look at Professor Cao behind him, Fan Xiangyang secretly thought that he had no tact. He quickly stepped aside and said earnestly, "Professor Wang, your student Professor Cao is here too."
"Professor Cao?"
Professor Wang said the first sentence, but why did it sound weird?
Before Fan Xiangyang could react, Professor Cao suddenly said, "Teacher, I want to talk to you alone."
Wang Guoping sneered and agreed.
He added in a more serious tone, "We really should have a good talk."
Wang Guoping stood up from his chair and said coldly, "Come in with me."
Suddenly, Ye Rou beside her said, "Grandpa Wang, I want to listen too."
Wang Guoping looked at Ye Rou and saw her blinking her big eyes and glancing at Cao He with a vigilant look. He smiled helplessly.
"Come in if you want to listen."
Seeing that Ye Rou was a woman holding a child, Cao He did not object and walked in silently carrying the cloth bag.
The door closed and Fan Xiangyang was at a loss. Suddenly, a middle-aged man opened the door and came to greet him.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Weiguo, the mayor of Changdu Town."
Fan Xiangyang nodded.
He was pulled away by Jiang Weiguo and took a last look at the closed room. He always felt that the atmosphere between the old professor and Professor Cao was not right. He hoped that he was just overthinking it.
The house was quiet.
Wang Guoping sat on a chair, and Ye Rou stood beside him holding Xiao Shitou.
"Ye girl, please sit down." Wang Guoping pointed to a chair beside him and asked Ye Rou to sit down.
Ye Rou felt that the chair was too far away. If Cao He really suddenly drew his knife and hurt someone, she would not have time to save them.
She smiled and said, "I'm tired of sitting. It would be nice to stand for a while."
Seeing that she insisted, Wang Guoping stopped trying to persuade her and his gaze fell on Cao He again.
Thinking of his wife who was so angry that she vomited blood, Wang Guoping's face suddenly darkened. His grip on the book tightened. He said in disgust, "What are you doing here?"
Cao He fell to his knees with a thud.
The sound of this kneeling was quite loud, but the two adults present did not show any fluctuation in their expressions. Instead, the sleepy little Stone suddenly became energetic and looked at him with his eyes wide open.
"Teacher, I am sorry for you, but I was forced to do it. It was Yu Wei who pushed me. He disliked you and was jealous that you were treated better than him. He encouraged me to report you. He said that as long as I reported you, I would be able to go to university."
"You know, my family isn't well off. I'm their only son, and I have three older sisters who all depend on me for support. I really want to become a college student to repay them. When Yu Wei asked me to do that, I didn't agree immediately. He threatened me that if I didn't agree, he would report me, and then not only you, but I would be sent to the bullpen as well."
At this point, Cao He's tears rolled down his cheeks. He continued in a sobbing voice, "I was forced to do that. I've been regretting it ever since. For so many years, I couldn't sleep every night. Teacher, I'm sorry. Please hit me, scold me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Wang Guoping said coldly: "I don't believe a word you say."
Cao He stopped crying.
He said aggrievedly, "Teacher, what I said is true. I have been repenting all these years. I have protected the house where you lived. I have also been looking for my fellow apprentices. I hope your family can be reunited."
When Wang Guoping heard Cao He shamelessly mention his two children, he was filled with anger.
He was working in the cowshed back then and made hasty arrangements for his children. When he arrived in Dahe Village, he asked the village chief Jiang's father to secretly write a letter home.
The friend who took care of his children told him that the family had moved because of his student Cao He! This beast, under the pretext of taking care of his children, actually intended to molest his daughter!
Wang Guoping couldn't bear it any longer when he thought of this, so he stood up and kicked Cao He in the heart.
Cao He was kicked and fell backward, coughing.
Wang Guoping's kicking strength has weakened due to his age, so it did not hurt. However, for Professor Cao, who had been respected for the past twenty years, it was a great insult.
He stared at the teacher and asked in a deep voice, "Teacher, are you really unwilling to forgive me?"
Wang Guoping was so disgusted that he didn't even want to look at Cao He. He turned his back and said disgustedly, "Get out, Cao He, your good days are over."
"No." Cao He said in a very cold voice.
Ye Rou stared at Cao He and noticed that his arms were moving slightly behind his back.
"Grandpa Wang, be careful!"
Almost at the moment Cao He took out the knife, Ye Rou yelled.
The moment Wang Guoping turned around, Cao He rushed towards him with a knife in hand and a ferocious look on his face.
"Teacher, go to hell!" Cao He yelled.
He stared at the gray-haired teacher, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he thought of the pleasure of having a knife pierce through his lungs.
Suddenly Wang Guoping was blocked by someone. It was the woman who was in the way.
He brandished his knife and yelled, "Get out of here."
"You should get out of here!" Ye Rou sneered and kicked him!
Outside the house, Fan Xiangyang and Mayor Jiang were chatting animatedly.
"The country really needs reform, and the first thing to change is..."
"Bang!"
A loud noise interrupted Fan Xiangyang's words.
He turned back in horror, and the wooden door exploded. A person flew out from inside, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground!
The man fell to the ground covered in dust, coughed a few times, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Fan Xiangyang was stunned, his mouth opened wide and his eyes almost popped out.
He slowly turned his head and looked towards the house.
The young girl stood at the door holding the child, her face frosty and her temperament as white as snow.
She said coldly, "Mayor Jiang, this man is trying to kill Grandpa Wang with a knife."
Jiang Weiguo was no less shocked than Fan Xiangyang.
After all, Jiang Chen had always told him that Ye Rou was a little lamb, soft and pitiful and in need of protection.
Jiang Weiguo really wanted to ask Jiang Chen when he went blind.
Is this a little sheep?!
It's clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Jiang Weiguo suppressed his shock and asked Cheng Gang to arrest the man.
He originally brought Cheng Gang here to talk to Jiang Chen because he was finishing up the Xishan Mine, but now he hasn't seen him and he has encountered another big case.
Jiang Weiguo sincerely believed that this couple would bring him good luck.
Unable to meet Jiang Chen, he called Wang Qiaohe and his son to leave.
Suddenly, his son hugged Ye Rou's neck and cried loudly, "If Shitou doesn't come back, Auntie will hit him!"
