"Tie him up and send him to the commune first thing tomorrow morning."
Li Dafu waved his hand.
The strong men in the village rushed forward and formed a circle around Ai Mingyuan and the man in black, leaving them nowhere to escape.
However, the men in black were not about to surrender. They retreated step by step, seemingly with no way out...
He suddenly attacked one of the openings, creating a breach, and then quickly fled, disappearing into the night.
The mountain village was not peaceful at night. After searching for a long time without success, they could only wait until the next day to search the mountain. Meanwhile, Ai Mingyuan had already been dragged away and interrogated about his identity...
He stiffened his neck and remained silent.
Zhang Desheng smiled in the crowd and made a gesture towards the shadows.
Li Dafu was extremely nervous. After seeing Ai Mingyuan tied up, he and the villagers showed no intention of sleeping. They knew there were so many people outside, deliberately using all sorts of methods to infiltrate the village. Who knew what their intentions were...
Thinking of this, he strained his eyes to open them wide, determined not to let Ai Mingyuan disappear from his sight.
Such a commotion in the village naturally alerted others. Lu Zhixi stayed at home with Fu Weidong, Fan Yunyan came out to inquire, and a disturbance also broke out at the educated youth settlement.
Everyone gathered at the village chief's house.
No matter how you ask him, Ai Mingyuan won't say a word.
When Shi Lingheng and Fan Yunyan arrived, they observed the situation without saying a word. On the contrary, Xu Youwen spoke up loudly: "Ai Zhiqing, you, you should confess quickly! God, what exactly are you doing behind the scenes?"
Ai Mingyuan lowered his head and remained silent.
The village houses were brightly lit, and everyone was talking amongst themselves. No wonder we always taught them to be vigilant; look at them now, some of them are doing strange things in private.
As soon as the rooster crowed, Li Dafu immediately perked up and prepared to take the person to the commune...
They don't understand these things, so they have to leave it to someone capable. They still don't believe they can't get him to talk.
Ai Mingyuan glanced up at Shi Lingheng in the crowd, and when he saw Shi Lingheng looking at him, his lips twitched.
Is it him?
He didn't know if there was any point in pursuing this matter now. He was waiting to be sent to the commune, but he wouldn't be able to explain himself, and he didn't know what kind of situation he would face...
He lowered his head, his gaze growing increasingly dark.
But he didn't even have the right to die. His name couldn't be found anywhere around him, and the Ai family had already been implicated...
He was clutching a note that someone had slipped into his hand during the chaos, and it read: "Are you willing to drag your whole family down with you?"
He clenched his fists tightly, of course he was unwilling. They were only chasing Shi Lingheng like this in order to get a share of the pie, and they did not want to risk their own lives and the lives of their families.
Who doesn't want to live...
The Ai family originally lived a good life, but it was their greed and desire for more that led to their current predicament.
But the person behind it all...
If he chose to betray them, he wouldn't spare their family either. Ai Mingyuan felt caught in a dilemma, as if no matter what he chose, it would lead to an abyss.
Compared to the emotions I was holding back yesterday, today a sense of lingering fear has swept over me.
He really didn't know what to do.
As they drew closer to the county commune, Ai Mingyuan felt his steps grow so heavy he could barely move, as if he were being dragged along by lead…
