Li Weidong never expected that he would see Ji Dahai and the others when he came out.
Ji Dahai and the others were also dumbfounded.
"Wei Dong, are...are you alright?"
Shen Xiaoyan looked Li Weidong up and down. He seemed full of energy and didn't look like he had been taken to the police station at all. She felt like her mind was about to explode.
Is this what it looks like when someone is arrested and mistaken for a murderer?!
"I'm fine!"
Li Weidong shrugged: "This is all a misunderstanding; they arrested the wrong person."
Zhang Guoliang, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "Yes, it's all a misunderstanding! Comrade Li Weidong is not only not a murderer, but also a model citizen who acted bravely and righteously. Moreover, it was thanks to him that the murderer was successfully apprehended in such a short time."
"The Public Security Bureau will apply for a reward and a banner for him, and they will be delivered soon."
He has already instructed his secretary to make the necessary preparations.
Shen Xiaoyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Dahai was overjoyed: "That's great! I was almost scared to death when I heard you were arrested, thank goodness you're alright!"
Just then, a loud bang startled everyone.
Zhao Xiulian actually fell to the ground!
Li Xiaoli also collapsed to the ground.
"Mom, are you alright?!"
Li Weidong was shocked and quickly helped her up.
Zhang Guoliang even asked someone to bring him water.
Zhao Xiulian grabbed Li Weidong's arm, tears welling up before she could even speak: "Weidong, are you alright...you scared your mother to death!"
Li Xiaoli also cried: "Brother, you have no idea how scared we were. We thought something really happened to you. What would Mom and I do if something had happened to you!"
The two were already emotionally broken after Li Weidong was taken away by the police, and they were only kept going by the thought of saving him.
Now that I know the person is alright, the tension suddenly snapped, and I felt completely drained, unable to even stand up straight.
Li Weidong personally brought the water and fed it to Zhao Xiulian before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Seeing his mother and sister so worried, and looking at Shen Xiaoyan with her eyes red from crying and Ji Dahai, who was covered in alcohol but still insisted on coming over, he was deeply moved.
This was originally just a misunderstanding, and it's understandable that family members were worried.
But Ji Dahai and Shen Xiaoyan were so nervous and scared because of him. He remembered their feelings!
"Anyway, it's best if nothing happens!"
Ji Dahai laughed: "I was having drinks with some guests when Boss Shen rushed in with his men, asking me to bail someone out. It scared me half to death!"
He gestured and said, "Brother Weidong, you don't know, I drank three bottles of baijiu. Normally, I would have been dead by now."
"But one sentence from Boss Shen completely sobered me up, and all I could think about was how to get him out of there."
Shen Xiaoyan said irritably, "It's your fault, really. You were drinking, but you didn't answer the phone. Your aunt and the others couldn't get through to you and thought something had really happened!"
Ji Dahai retorted, "Aren't you the same? You can't get through to your shop either! How dare you criticize me like that!"
"Thanks to the cleverness of the young lady, she brought her aunt to the city to look for someone, otherwise she might have been terrified!"
Their banter amused everyone.
Li Weidong laughed too, then a question popped into his head: "Wait a minute! There are no more buses running now, Mom, how did you and Lili get to the city?"
If we walk, wouldn't we be walking until midnight?
After drinking some water and recovering, Zhao Xiulian explained, "Lili gave me a ride here in her tricycle."
Li Xiaoli said smugly, "Isn't my brother amazing?"
Li Weidong broke out in a cold sweat, raised his hand to give her a sharp rap on the head, but ultimately held back, only scolding, "Nonsense!"
"You've never even learned to drive, yet you dared to drive your mom into the city. What if something happened?"
"Nothing happened, right?"
Li Xiaoli snorted, "Besides, my uncle taught me when Grandpa was hospitalized before, so I'm not afraid!"
"You little rascal..."
Li Weidong was full of resentment, but it all turned into a long sigh: "Anyway, you're not allowed to do anything reckless in the future!"
Driving a tricycle isn't difficult, but the risks on the way into the city are too great. Luckily, nothing happened.
If something really happens, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"In the end, it's all our fault."
Zhang Guoliang took the initiative to speak up, saying, "It's my fault for not managing my men well. They arrested people without conducting a proper investigation. I'm really sorry."
He bowed solemnly to Li Weidong.
Li Weidong quickly stood up: "Director Zhang, don't be like that. Anyway, the misunderstanding is cleared up, it's not a big deal."
Zhang Guoliang apologized, then said, "Since Auntie is here too, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"
"Firstly, it's to apologize, and secondly, it's to thank Comrade Li for saving my daughter."
Zhao Xiulian and the others became puzzled.
Zhang Guoliang explained, "My daughter was in a car accident this morning. If Comrade Li hadn't taken her to the hospital in time, she would have died."
Ji Dahai's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He had thought Li Weidong was already very good at business, but he didn't expect him to be so lucky as well.
He casually saved someone, and it turned out to be the daughter of the police chief!
This favor alone is enough to make Li Weidong's future path incredibly smooth.
Ji Dahai made up his mind once again that he had to improve his relationship with Li Weidong no matter what!
Zhang Guoliang wanted to host a banquet, and Li Weidong couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
Shen Xiaoyan then suggested, "Why don't you come to my place?"
Ji Dahai got anxious: "Why would I go to your place? Don't I also own a restaurant?"
"Then I'll go first, it'll definitely be at my place to eat."
"Your shop isn't as upscale as mine, come to my place!"
The two started arguing, neither willing to give in.
Li Weidong laughed loudly, "Brother Ji, Sister Xiaoyan, you two stop arguing and how about we play a game of rock-paper-scissors?"
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group went outside.
Meanwhile, the village was bustling with activity.
Tiger watched as Li Weidong was taken away by the police, and he was extremely proud of himself. He didn't rush home, but sat down under a big tree at the entrance of the village and started bragging.
"What did I tell you?"
He sneered, "You can only live a life of luxury by following me. Li Weidong is no good; he's a murderer. He'll fall from grace sooner or later. Isn't that what we've got?"
"Just wait and see, he won't be so arrogant anymore!"
Tiger got more and more excited as he spoke, patting his chest and saying, "Just focus on working for me, and I'll guarantee you a life of luxury!"
Everyone chimed in, vying to flatter him.
"Tiger is really something. Luckily, I had good judgment back then."
"I always thought you were destined for great things!"
"That Li Weidong looks impressive, but I've disliked him for a long time. He led everyone to grow mushrooms, but he was picky and kept saying he had to limit the number of people. Does he really think he's so great?"
"Now that Li Weidong has been arrested, Hu Zi is the toughest guy in our Peach Blossom Valley. Follow Hu Zi and you'll eat lots of meat during the New Year!"
Just then, someone suddenly asked, "By the way, Tiger, how did you know that Li Weidong is a murderer?"
