When Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu returned to Beijing after their fight that left them disfigured, the deaf-mute man from No. 17, Liutiao Hutong, arrived at Elena's flower shop.
Elena pretended to communicate with him using sign language. The deaf-mute man explained the flowers he had bought using sign language, and while bending down to select flowers, he slipped a note into the flowerpot.
After the deaf-mute man bought another pot of the same chrysanthemums and left the flower shop, Elena looked around and, finding no one following her, took out the note the deaf-mute man had slipped into the flower pot and went back into the flower shop.
In a teahouse across the street, Zheng Ya was sipping tea and listening to a storyteller, multitasking to sense Elena's every move, who was more than 600 meters away.
Elena entered the flower shop and struck the wall with a wooden hammer, sending a Morse code message that surprised Zheng Ya. It was Morse code, which was difficult to decipher.
The key question is, to whom did she pass Morse code?
There's nobody next to the flower shop!
This puzzled Zheng Ya. He kept watching until night but couldn't find anything amiss. Could it be that this Elena woman was just playing around?
Little did they know that it was Elena who had sent out a telegram in this special way.
All of Zheng Ya's apparent abilities, displayed at the planting base and the steel rolling mill courtyard, were exposed in documents presented to the high-ranking officials of the neighboring country.
The neighboring country then promptly sent Zheng Ya's information to countries around the world that did not want Zheng Ya to live, triggering a storm of panic.
In response, a large number of spies were dispatched to plot and deploy against Zheng Ya.
They were all operating in the shadows, not daring to confront Zheng Ya openly. If they provoked Zheng Ya to launch a surprise attack across the ocean, even if someone shouted for them not to come, it would be useless.
Assassination and sowing discord seem to be the only viable options?
Correspondingly, Li Deren and Factory Director Yang each applied to their superiors for Zheng Ya's assistance in recruiting a group of talents for the steel rolling mill, which alarmed the higher-ups.
The higher-ups were also aware that Zheng Ya's abilities had been exposed, and they were in a dilemma.
If Zheng Ya were to bestow a large number of enlightenment talents, it would inevitably drive foreign powers mad and prompt them to unite and launch a war.
Without Zheng Ya to cultivate talent for national institutions, it would be difficult to carry out the construction plan for a strong and prosperous nation.
Furthermore, with various organizations of all sizes vying to apply, how should we respond?
As evening fell, after Zheng Ya helped a group of people led by Secretary Song to receive the initiation technique, he went up to the rooftop and leaped down, heading towards the hometown of the Ouyang sisters.
Wangjiaqu Commune is more than 80 miles away from Beijing.
Zheng Ya covered the distance in the blink of an eye, landing on the eastern slope of Wangjiatun, and began to use his senses to search for the target.
The village chief's house was filled with elderly people. The village chief sat in the main seat, raised his hand to grab the head of the traitor, and said with his fat lips, "My son Haiyang has gotten into trouble in the capital."
What are the opinions of the clan elders on this matter?
“Village chief, Haiyang may have been misled. Carrying a sickle to attack people, even if it’s just to scare them, is still a crime of disturbing the peace and undermining unity. He’s bound to be arrested.” An old man holding a cane spoke first, his tone unfriendly and laced with resentment.
Among the troublemakers in the clan, Wang Haiyang is the worst.
In the village and town brigade areas, he was arrogant and domineering, and the clan members could still protect him to some extent.
They've already reached the capital; who can stop them?
The village chief said, both angry and anxious, "Second Uncle, I just received news that Haiyang lost an arm because of the Ouyang family's daughter."
Regardless of the nature of this matter or whether it was right or wrong, it was ultimately a mess caused by the daughter of the Ouyang family.
As the village chief, I've tolerated the Ouyang family for a long time.
What do you all think we should do with the Ouyang family?
My Haiyang can't be crippled for nothing!
“Village chief, a few days ago, Haiyang gathered the young people in the clan to beat up the Ouyang family and forced their parents to sign a marriage contract. You still quietly got the marriage certificate for Haiyang and Ouyang Wenqian.”
"Aren't you afraid of things going to get really bad?" Uncle Er said, tapping his cane as he lectured, sensing that something was about to happen.
In today's society governed by the rule of law, if you do too many bad things, one day you will not be able to cover it up and will implicate your clan.
The village chief said dismissively, "Second Uncle, I followed all the proper procedures..."
"Haha, are you making me senile?"
There's no reason why the person getting the marriage certificate shouldn't be present, and instead have their parents accompany them.
Is it permitted under current law?
"Don't forget that the two girls from the Ouyang family are both college students. If word gets out about what you've done on campus, do you think you can cover it up?" The second uncle was furious.
The village chief stood up and said, "Second Uncle, we understand what you're saying, but the problem is that the Ouyang family can't pay back the money they owe our family."
It was agreed back then that the daughter would be married off if the debt was not repaid.
Everyone knows this; even if the case goes all the way to the capital, I'll still be in the right.
"Even if you're right, you can't push people to their deaths. The old couple from the Ouyang family were injured by you and can't move at home, right?"
I urge you to get him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
"If this thing causes someone to die, you'll regret it someday." The second uncle said this and left, worried that if he listened any longer, he would be furious.
It's a good thing for people to stick together and support each other.
But forming cliques to harm others is a path to certain death.
He left, and the people present fell silent. No one was afraid of causing a death and facing legal trouble.
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
Seeing that no one was speaking up for him, the village chief stood up angrily and shouted: "You are all members of the Wang clan. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate."
Putting aside the messy things from previous years, everyone has benefited, so I won't say more.
Even if Haiyang was at fault in today's incident, he's already lost an arm. Are you elders just going to watch him suffer and do nothing?
"Village chief, what exactly do you mean? Explain yourself so we can discuss this further!"
"Exactly! You're just standing here getting angry without explaining anything. What are we supposed to say?"
"Alright, alright, everyone say less and let the village chief speak for himself," Fourth Uncle spoke up.
The scene fell silent. The village chief, filled with resentment, said, "I have only one request: have Ouyang's family tell Ouyang Wenqian to go home and live with Haiyang. Then this matter will be over!"
“Village chief, we agree with your opinion. Anyway, the Ouyang family can’t repay the money. What can they do if they don’t marry off their daughter?”
"That's true, but we also need to see what Haiyang did wrong and whether we can get him out first."
"Yes, village chief, are you hiding something?" Uncle Si noticed something was wrong, and the village chief said evasively, "What could I be hiding?"
As long as Ouyang Wenqian helps Haiyang clarify some facts, all the problems will be solved!
"What you're saying is like forcing the Ouyang family to do something illegal!" Fourth Uncle understood everything.
This matter may not be so simple.
At this moment, Zheng Ya was already at the Ouyang family home, helping the elderly couple with acupuncture treatment: "Don't worry, I am the direct supervisor of the Ouyang sisters. I am here to inquire about the specific situation."
Speak slowly, don't rush, be careful not to aggravate the injury.
No matter what happens, we can help your family solve the problem…
