Chapter 113 Death Penalty
Gu Yiye tied Zhu Shengli up with hemp rope, threw him into the car, and told Gu Dadan and Cao Chunhua to get in the car and watch over him.
He went inside and told Lin Shanshan where he was going: "My dear wife, I'm going to find Director Liu. You can sleep here tonight."
Lin Shanshan, afraid of waking Chen Meili who was asleep, didn't say anything but nodded to indicate that she understood.
Gu Yiye asked, "Is there an antidote?"
Lin Shanshan searched in her left-hand space for a while and then took out a small bottle for Gu Yiye.
Gu Yiye took the medicine without lingering and went to the next room to wake Zeng Huihuang with the medicine, then briefly recounted the events of the evening to him.
Zeng Huihuang was furious: "Where is Zhu Shengli? I'm going to beat him to death!"
Gu Yiye said, "He's in the car. I'm taking him to the police station now. He won't have a good ending. I woke you up because I'm afraid Huang Daren might come back. You stay and guard the door of the female educated youth's room. We can't afford any more accidents. My wife is inside too. If anything happens, you'll be held responsible."
Zeng Huihuang nodded and said, "Brother, please thank Uncle Gu and Aunt Cao for me. I'll come to thank them another day."
"Um."
Gu Yiye took a long stride and walked to the car in a few steps. He opened the door, got into the driver's seat, and said to Gu Dadan and Cao Chunhua in the back, "Zeng Zhiqing asked me to thank you."
Gu Dadan and Cao Chunhua quickly replied, "No need, no need!"
It was already past 1 a.m. Gu Yiye first took Gu Dadan and Cao Chunhua home, and then drove to Liu Jianshe's house.
It was raining heavily outside, but Gu Yiye didn't get out of the car; he just sat there and honked the horn.
After a few rings, Liu Jianshe came out with a flashlight. Seeing Gu Yiye driving a car, he teased, "I heard from Little Monkey that Uncle Gu bought a car. You wouldn't be showing off at my house so late, would you?"
Gu Yiye smiled and said, "Get in the car, something's happened."
He asked again, "You're out so soon? Still not asleep?"
Liu Jianshe beamed with joy: "I had just gone to bed tonight when I heard thunder. When I went out to look, it was raining! Now the rice can be saved. Although we won't have a bumper harvest, if everyone is frugal, we can still have food to eat."
"It's truly a miracle from Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Gu Yiye pursed his lips, thinking to himself: It must be Lin Shanshan's spirit appearing!
As Liu Jianshe spoke, he got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. He heard a noise from the back seat and looked up to see Zhu Shengli.
"Secretary Zhu, why are you like this?"
Zhu Shengli quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding."
Gu Yiye scoffed: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, go to the police station and tell the officers."
Liu Jianshe looked completely bewildered and asked, "Aye, what exactly happened?"
Gu Yiye snorted coldly and said, "Zhu Shengli and Huang Daren are in cahoots, intending to rape Chen Meili."
Liu Jianshe was shocked. Zhu Shengli usually acted like a respectable person and was very good at disguising himself. He never expected that Zhu Shengli would do such a despicable thing!
The car stopped in front of Widow Qu's door. Gu Yiye kicked the door open, dragged Huang Daren off Widow Qu's bed, tied him up, and threw him into the car.
Then they packed the two of them up and sent them to the Hongyun County Public Security Bureau. There was a police officer on duty there who saw Gu Yiye and said with a smile, "We were just looking for you, and here you are."
Gu Yiye: "?"
The police officer chuckled, "Brother Dao, remember that time in the alley?"
Gu Yiye nodded and asked, "Yes, is there something you need?"
The police officer took out a banner from behind, which read: "Presented to Comrade Gu Yiye for his courageous act and promotion of justice." It was signed by the Hongyun County Public Security Bureau.
Gu Yiye smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
I'll have to hang it up properly when I get back, just to make my wife happy!
The police officers then clarified the situation of Huang Daren and Zhu Shengli and handcuffed them both.
When Gu Yiye and Liu Jianshe came out of the Public Security Bureau, Huang Daren and Zhu Shengli were still fighting and arguing with each other.
The police officer said that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would likely be the death penalty.
In those days, hooliganism was a serious crime, especially since Chen Meili was an educated youth sent to the countryside!
Although Huang Daren cannot be defined as a hooligan, his act of drugging Zhu Shengli and helping him commit crimes is extremely heinous, and he certainly cannot escape punishment.
By the time Gu Yiye drove back to Anfeng Brigade, it was already broad daylight.
First, he took Liu Jianshe home, and then rushed to the educated youth settlement to pick up his young wife.
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, Lin Shanshan and Chen Meili were already up. That beast Huang Daren had given Fang Duoduo too much sleeping pills; she was still lying in bed, sleeping like a pig.
Chen Meili's mood improved a bit, and she stopped crying, though her eyes were still swollen.
Zeng Huihuang comforted her from the side: "Meili, we live our lives by moving forward, not backward. Let bygones be bygones. I will always be by your side from now on and I will never let you get hurt again."
With tears welling in her eyes, Chen Meili asked timidly, "You...you don't dislike me?"
Zeng Huihuang said in surprise, "How could I? It's not your fault! It's all because of those two beasts, Huang Daren and Zhu Shengli, and Uncle Gu saved you in the end. Meili, don't overthink it. Even if, even if you really were violated, I won't despise you."
