He was just a battalion commander; once he admitted it, he would lose his position as commander.
Zhou Jiaming jumped up in fright and pointed at Luo Yuejin, saying, "You're talking nonsense! You're talking rubbish! I never said that to you at all."
Zhou Jiaming was well aware that if what Luo Yuejin said was true, he would probably end up like Xu Youcai.
Perhaps not as terrible, but it definitely won't end well.
But how could Luo Yuejin agree? Luo Yuejin also retorted, "It was you, it was you who said that if I burned it, you would give me ten yuan."
It looked as if Zhou Jiaming was denying it, and Luo Yuejin was so anxious that he started arguing with someone.
Later, Luo Juan, Luo Yuejin, and Zhou Jiaming realized that Luo Yuejin was lying.
"I didn't, you're lying! Why would I send you to burn haystacks? What good would that do me? Why are you framing me?"
Zhou Jiaming was very flustered, so his words were incoherent, but they were still understandable.
Luo Yuejin scoffed, "How would I know what you're thinking? Anyway, you said those things to me." He seemed to be blaming Zhou Jiaming.
Because few people had heard what the boy said before, and because Luo Yuejin's voice was loud, many people believed what he said.
People always have a subconscious belief that children won't lie, and even a fifteen-year-old like Luo Yuejin has this mentality.
On the contrary, those who were closer to the stage noticed something was wrong, including Lü Qiaosheng.
Lu Qiaosheng asked, puzzled, "Didn't you say you wanted to teach Song Lili a lesson? How did it turn into Captain Zhou telling you to set fire?"
Lu Qiaosheng genuinely didn't understand why the two people were saying different things. His first reaction was that someone was lying.
Lu Qiaosheng didn't lower his voice, so everyone nearby could hear him, including Zhou Jiaming.
He immediately seized upon it as if it were a lifeline, asking, "What? To teach Song Lili a lesson? Then why did you slander me?"
"Ah, I know, you must be holding a grudge against Song Lili for hitting you a while ago, so you want to get revenge."
"You didn't intend to burn the haystacks, you wanted to burn Song Lili's house, you just mistakenly burned the haystacks, didn't you?"
When faced with danger, Zhou Jiaming's IQ seemed to skyrocket, and he actually shouted out what he had guessed.
Now everyone knows that Luo Yuejin is going to take revenge on Song Lili.
Song Lili was also extremely surprised; this matter had actually involved her.
So, Luo Yuejin really didn't intend to burn the haystacks, but rather planned to set fire to her house?
Song Lili couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be if this were true, and if Luo Yuejin really succeeded.
A murderous glint appeared in her eyes, and for the first time, she had the idea of killing Luo Yuejin.
This person's heart is already black, so it will never change.
Zhang Qinghua and his group glared angrily at Luo Yuejin upon hearing this, wishing they could grab him and beat him up.
Luo Yuejin panicked slightly after Zhou Jiaming pointed out his motives. "You're talking nonsense! I didn't do it! It was you! You're the one who told me to set the fire!"
"It's no use denying it now. Let me tell you, you're the one who told me to set fire to the haystacks."
Luo Yuejin insisted that Zhou Jiaming was the one who instigated it, while Zhou Jiaming kept denying it and couldn't produce any evidence.
The two were arguing fiercely, hurling all sorts of vulgar insults at each other. It was even more embarrassing than a shrewish woman yelling in the street.
Zhang Qinghua looked at Luo Yuejin; his eyes were so deep and dark that it was impossible to see what was in them.
Suddenly, he spoke up, "Luo Yuejin, does Director Luo know about this?"
"Luo Weijia, was it you? Was it you who asked Luo Yuejin to frame me? Tell me, was it you?" Zhou Jiaming suddenly turned around, pointed at Luo Weijia, and shouted loudly.
Luo Weijia was also stunned by this sudden change. Just as he came to his senses, he was startled by Zhou Jiaming's sudden change.
Then, he looked at Zhou Jiaming innocently and said, "Captain Zhou, you can't just say things like that. What does this have to do with me?"
“My child said that you told him to burn the haystacks. I had no idea about that, so please don’t ask me.”
"I haven't even contacted you yet, and you've already made my child do this. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Luo Weijia was initially stunned. Later, he realized that Luo Yuejin's method was truly brilliant.
Why not push all the blame onto Zhou Jiaming? This way, you won't put yourself in a bad situation, and you'll also make Luo Yuejin's mistake seem less serious.
Therefore, he quickly agreed with Luo Yuejin's approach and even secretly arranged for Luo Yuejin to handle the aftermath.
However, Zhou Jiaming was not someone who was easily framed. He pointed at Luo Weijia and swallowed hard.
His eyes were red, filled with resentment and anger, and upon closer inspection, even a hint of madness.
He stared at Luo Weijia. "Tell me, was it you? Did you make your son do this? Did you harm me?"
"Captain Zhou, didn't I just say this was your mistake? How can you shift the blame to me?"
Luo Weijia was really in no hurry at this moment. He stood there leisurely and spoke slowly and deliberately, which made people want to punch him.
"Luo Weijia, it's you, it must be you! You made Luo Yuejin do this! You're just afraid I'll expose your secrets, so you're treating me like this, right?" Zhou Jiaming shouted somewhat frantically.
"Zhou Jiaming, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean?" Luo Weijia's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he quickly interrupted Zhou Jiaming.
However, his words and actions just now provoked Zhou Jiaming. At this moment, Zhou Jiaming only had one thought: if you don't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either.
It turns out they were speaking with a do-or-die mentality.
"So you misappropriated the militia subsidies? If Comrade Wang hadn't come to collect them, were you just going to pretend it never happened?"
Yes, that's what Luo Weijia originally planned: to pretend it never happened.
However, without Xu Youcai, he couldn't manipulate the accounts, and Xiao Wang caught him red-handed, so he had no choice but to return what he had taken.
Not many people knew about this before; it was just something everyone talked about in private. Who would have thought that Zhou Jiaming would actually tell the truth?
"Zhou Jiaming, shut up. That was your doing. Don't try to pin it on me." Luo Weijia's whole demeanor darkened.
"Ha, Luo Weijia, what are you pretending for? You're just a selfish and petty person. Xu Youcai must have tampered with your accounts a lot before, right? Otherwise, how did you get that three hundred yuan?"
"Now you want to discard me after you've used me? Let me tell you, no way. If we're going to die, we'll all die together."
