"My God, there's blood! I didn't even notice!"
The aunts were stunned. They were so focused on picking up the clothes and putting them on her that they hadn't noticed the bloodstains on the clothes or the knife not far from them. It was terrifying. If Yu Jiu had been any slower, someone might have been stabbed!
"What? A knife?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zijiang could no longer contain himself. He opened the door and rushed over to check the situation.
"Is everyone alright? What exactly happened? Li Nannan, what are you doing? Quick, go and get Captain Xitang here!"
Xu Zijiang confirmed that Yu Jiu and the others were unharmed. His brows furrowed, and he was furious, his intuition telling him something bad had happened again. Regardless of what had happened in Xitang, the fact that Li Nannan had attempted to injure someone with a knife in Dongtang was confirmed. Xu Zijiang was determined to send her to the police station, ensuring she would never be able to cause trouble again!
Lin Zheng and Lin Rong had also been woken up by the noise. They came out and saw the mess. Lin Rong hugged her brother, her face showing a mixture of curiosity and fear.
Lin Zheng looked at Yu Jiu with concern, seemingly checking if she was injured. After all, Li Nannan had just tried to stab her with a knife, and he was afraid that she would get cut when she tried to take the knife away.
"I'm fine. I'll go get a rope and tie her up first, so that nothing else happens."
Yu Jiu shook his hand and quickly went to Xu Zijiang's house to get the rope. Li Nannan's mental state was very bad. If she suddenly broke free from everyone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all that commotion, almost half an hour had passed. Team leader Xitang should have arrived by now, but he was at the hospital. Aunt Liu couldn't find him when she went to look for him. She briefly inquired about what had happened to Xitang and then sent someone to the commune hospital to fetch him. This whole ordeal took more than an hour.
When Captain Xitang arrived, Xu Zijiang was already about to take Li Nannan to the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as Captain Xitang arrived, he was scolded by Xu Zijiang, who also kicked him.
"Such a big thing happened and you still dared to keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell me yesterday! You suppressed it, so how do you plan to resolve this! Is Chen Yuan dead? What if he is? Li Nannan ran away with a knife. You didn't find her. What if she hurts someone? Have you considered these consequences!"
Xu Zi was furious. How could he be so stupid as to make such a decision! It was fortunate that Li Nannan hadn't gone on a rampage with a knife, otherwise, he and Captain Xitang would have lost several heads!
"No, don't get angry, let's talk this out. I know I was wrong. I made a mistake at first. I wanted to suppress this matter and wait until Chen Yuan was out of danger before talking about it. I didn't expect Li Nannan to run away so fast. I didn't have time to catch him. I regretted it then."
But I didn't tell you at first, and I was worried you'd scold me if I told you later. I wanted to keep it from you for a while, until I was sure Chen Yuan was still alive. I never expected Li Nannan to be so bold as to hurt someone. What should I do now? I don't know what to do either.
"I'll do whatever you say."
Captain Xitang was completely flustered. He was filled with regret. He should have sent someone to tell Xu Zijiang as soon as the incident happened yesterday so that he could come up with a solution.
"What else can we do? Take her to the police station and have her honestly tell us what happened. Is Chen Yuan dead? Or is he still alive?"
Xu Zijiang stared at him speechlessly. There was no need to think about this at all. She had tried to kill him and had already used a knife. She should have been sent to the police station. What else was there to think about?
"Okay, okay, okay, send him to the police station, right away. Chen Yuan is still alive, but he's not out of danger yet. The doctor said he needs to be observed for another two days."
Captain Xitang nodded vigorously, completely at a loss, and did whatever Xu Zijiang said.
"What the hell is this?!"
Xu Zi angrily kicked the door. This matter would definitely implicate him, and he was also responsible.
"It's okay, no matter what happens, I'll be with you."
Yu Jiu held Xu Zijiang's hand to comfort him, indicating that he shouldn't be angry. Even if he couldn't be the captain because of this, she would always be with him.
"Yeah, I just feel unlucky. Why were these two assigned to our area?"
Xu Zi shook his head, looking somewhat weary.
Neither Chen Yuan nor Li Nannan were easy to deal with, and they never learned their lesson. Conventional methods couldn't control them, causing them a lot of trouble. Now, one is at the police station and the other is in the hospital, which is quite a relief.
Xu Zijiang tried to find some humor in his predicament. He gestured for everyone to continue working as usual, and then he and Captain Xitang took Li Nannan to the Public Security Bureau.
The incident of the female educated youth stabbing the male educated youth with a knife quickly caused a sensation and attracted onlookers in the area. As expected, Li Nannan was immediately locked up, and Chen Yuan sent people to visit her.
As for how to deal with Captain Xu Zijiang and Captain Xitang, the decision from above has not yet been made, but they will definitely be punished. After all, they failed to manage the two men properly, allowing such a serious incident to occur, and Captain Xu Zijiang and Captain Xitang also bear some responsibility for privately swapping team members.
Although these two were inherently unruly, failing to manage them was still a failure, and the captain ultimately bore responsibility. Xu Zijiang remained silent on this matter, willing to accept the punishment from above.
Li Nannan will definitely go to jail. As for Chen Yuan, he was out of danger two days later and was transferred to a regular ward. He can be discharged after a period of rest. However, given his condition, he probably can no longer stay in Xitang Team.
So the higher-ups made a decision, personally ordering him to return to the city and no longer stay here as an educated youth. It's hard to say whether this was a blessing in disguise, since so many people were waiting to return to the city but there was nothing they could do. Unexpectedly, he got the benefit of the doubt.
The punishments for Xu Zijiang and the Xitang team captain were quickly announced. The original plan was to revoke their captaincy and select new captains, but the Dongtang team members objected, desperately trying to save Xu Zijiang's position. They pleaded for him, proving his innocence and highlighting his significant contributions to the team.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the higher authorities decided to follow public opinion and not remove Xu Zijiang from his position as captain. However, he was fined, confined to his room for a week to reflect on his actions, and required to submit a 10,000-word self-criticism.
A sincere attitude is required; otherwise, the application will not be approved.
Captain Xitang fared much worse; no one pleaded for him, so the higher-ups simply removed him from his position. However, Captain Xitang wasn't one to be trifled with; he seized the opportunity to promote his son to the position, thus keeping the benefits within the family—a best-case scenario, perhaps.
"Luckily you came up with a way to get everyone to plead for me, otherwise my time as captain would be over. I don't have an adult son to take over our team."
