"Zhenwei, what's the matter?" The two policemen greeted Huang Zhenwei with smiles.
Huang Zhenwei introduced, "Captain, these are Officer Jiang and Officer Xu from the town's police station."
"This is Yang Dongliang, the brigade leader of Xiahe Village, and Qiao Wanyue, the village's communications officer." After introducing them one by one, Huang Zhenwei explained the whole story, leaving the two police officers dumbfounded.
"Who is Zhong Qingqing?"
Zhong Qingqing froze.
The police officer's gaze swept around the courtyard, then his sharp eyes landed on Zhong Qingqing. "You're Zhong Qingqing?"
Zhong Qingqing's body went limp.
Before he could answer, Jiang Gong'an asked, "Who is Guan Xingguo?"
Dog Egg stepped forward.
"Officer, this is Guan Xingguo."
Public Security Officer Jiang glanced at him. Gou Dan was so thin he was practically skin and bones. The 1.8-meter-tall man looked like a bamboo pole standing there.
Is it true that Zhong Qingqing demanded money?
Gou Dan bit his lip and subconsciously looked at his grandparents.
Huang Zhenwei stood in front of the Guan family.
Gou Dan only saw Huang Zhenwei's long legs, and when he looked up, he met Huang Zhenwei's cold gaze.
He said coldly, "Dog Egg, I'll only give you one chance."
He doesn't like idiots.
He didn't care how Yang Laoda died, but if he couldn't even save his own and his family's lives, and still had to worry about the so-called savior, then Gou Dan was completely ruined, and he would never care about this family's mess again.
Looking at the police officers in front of him, Gou Dan was caught in a dilemma.
The two elders of the Guan family were also anxious.
Yang Laoda died because of Gou Dan.
They were afraid that sending Zhong Qingqing to the fence would be against their conscience.
They were afraid that Boss Yang would turn into a vengeful ghost and come after Gou Dan.
They're old and not afraid, but Gou Dan hasn't married or had children yet. If he gets entangled with the Yang family again, what will he do for the rest of his life?
Huang Zhenwei noticed the elderly couple's agitation and lowered his voice, "Have you really never questioned why Yang Laoda died?"
As soon as he said this...
The elderly couple froze.
Huang Zhenwei said sternly, "Gou Dan was good at swimming when he was five years old. Do you think he'll drown?"
The elderly couple stared wide-eyed.
How could he know that Gou Dan was good at water?
Huang Zhenwei closed his eyes. “Aunt, Uncle, you have suffered your whole lives. I know you finally got Gou Dan as your only child and can’t bear to see him suffer from public opinion and being spat on. But you can’t put your ‘goodness’ on Gou Dan.”
The elderly couple exchanged a glance.
Sigh.
Grandpa Guan grasped his wife's hand and said, "Old woman, let's not concern ourselves with this matter."
Grandma Guan nodded.
She was tormented by her mother-in-law when she was young, lost several children at a young age, and became infertile for the rest of her life. Her mother-in-law forced the old man to divorce her and remarry, but the old man was determined to marry only her. He never saw his so-called grandson until his mother-in-law died.
They thought their lives would just pass by like this, but fate was kind to them after all.
When the elderly couple saw Gou Dan at the village entrance, they held the child in their hands.
The child grew up day by day and became very sensible. He would often go to the river with the neighbors to catch fish and tease birds. Every time, he would excitedly bring them back and hand them to her, saying in his childish voice, "This is for Mom to nourish her body."
It wasn't until she was seven years old, when Gou Dan was dragged back, that she learned that Gou Dan and Yang Laoda had fallen into the water and that Yang Laoda had died.
Everyone said that Yang Laoda did it to save Gou Dan, but only the old couple knew that Gou Dan was good at swimming. When he was three years old, he could go into deep water to catch fish. It was because she was afraid of the danger that she repeatedly told him not to go.
