Chapter 17 Snow in June
Everyone thought that Jiang Ruzhen would go crazy after hearing the news, but in fact, Jiang Ruzhen was very clear-headed at the moment.
She nodded at her second brother Shen Zhuoyi's worried gaze, "Second brother, go home now and call Xin Xin and the fourth brother. We'll take these beasts to the shipyard to seek justice for your father."
"Okay." Shen Zhuoyi turned and left, his voice choked with emotion.
After so many years, the mountain that had been weighing on the Shen family is finally about to be removed.
He was both happy and felt wronged.
Jiang Ruzhen turned to Xiao Changgeng and said, "Captain, could you please find a few people to help me take the three beasts from the Qin family to the shipyard? Also, I would like to ask you to be my witnesses."
"Okay, no problem."
Xiao Changgeng took on all the responsibilities at this time, not only out of guilt, but also because he was overwhelmed by the gifts Jiang Ruzhen had given him these past few days.
He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; it's time for him to repay the favor.
Xiao Changgeng knew this was a big deal, so he selected seven or eight men from the crowd who were usually steady and reliable to go with him.
They also borrowed a tractor from a wealthy family in the village.
Li Fen and Qin Liang were tied up tightly by the crowd. Even as they were being carried into the car, they tried to struggle and beg for mercy, but Liu Guihua stuffed a smelly sock into each of their mouths to gag them.
Qin Lanlan was also pushed into the car. She didn't resist and obediently sat in the car. At this moment, Qin Lanlan had already disregarded life and death. She only wanted to see Li Fen and Qin Liang's tragic end.
Old Hu blinked his cloudy old eyes, and seeing that everyone had left, he quickly chased after them.
That was all his savings, five hundred yuan! He couldn't let it all go to waste and end up with nothing.
Once the Shen family arrives at the shipyard and causes a scene, he'll seize the opportunity to drag Qin Lanlan back to his own home.
The other villagers watched the excitement fade away and were very unwilling to give up.
This is the first time in many years that something this big has happened in their village. If they hadn't known beforehand, it would have been fine, but now that they know, they are so anxious and can't sleep at night unless they see the follow-up results.
So, everyone used their unique abilities to achieve their goals.
Some people caught their own donkey carts, some rode donkeys backwards, some rode bicycles, and some even ran to join in the fun.
The once quiet road was now bustling with activity as a large group of people followed behind tractors toward the shipyard.
At that moment, none of them noticed that a black Santana was following them at a distance.
Inside the car, Lu Mingzheng smiled, a genuine smile of admiration playing on his lips, his face beaming with delight, revealing his good mood.
Today was definitely worth the trip; I witnessed a truly spectacular show.
If he hadn't watched the whole thing through his binoculars, he would never have imagined that the seemingly gentle and weak woman could come up with such a scheme.
He was completely at ease with this woman's elaborate schemes, including feigned injury, using someone else to kill, sowing discord, and a series of interconnected plots. He even began to doubt whether she was truly an ordinary woman from a fishing village.
From everything that had just happened, he guessed why the mother and her children had gone to that small courtyard to scare that hairy boy that day.
I guess it was all preparation for today!
It's a clever scheme, with one step leading to another!
Soon, the group arrived at the shipyard gate. The gatekeeper was terrified when he saw the large group of people approaching from afar.
Thinking it was a gang causing trouble, they quickly made a call to the factory manager's office.
At this moment, Director Wu was sitting in his office listening to the radio, drinking tea, and leisurely swaying his head.
He was about to get off work in an hour, and he was thinking about how his wife had told him she was going to make pork and cabbage dumplings for dinner. He was so hungry for them.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, time seemed to be passing too slowly.
Suddenly, the phone rang urgently, almost scaring Director Wu to death.
He clutched his pounding heart and answered the phone with a curt sigh.
Who is it?
The gatekeeper's voice was so shrill it was almost cracked, "Factory manager, please bring your men out and take a look! Hundreds of people are heading straight for our factory!"
"Huh? What happened?"
"I don't know!"
Factory Director Wu hung up the phone, stood up abruptly, and ran outside, making a detour to the security office to call over a dozen security guards.
The factory had a major accident twelve years ago that killed two people.
It's been so many years since anything happened. I hope he doesn't get into trouble again when he's getting old and about to retire.
When they came out, the tractor had already arrived at the factory gate.
He saw from afar that several men pushed and shoved the three people off the vehicle and forced them to kneel at the factory gate.
Factory Director Wu quickly led his men over. He didn't recognize any of the others, but when he looked at the three people on the ground, his pupils contracted sharply.
Li Fen is the family member of Qin Youcai, a worker in the factory. He knows her, but he knows Qin Liang even better.
He works sporadically at the factory and is always up to petty theft; he's practically become the enemy of all the workers.
Because of his father's situation, he usually turned a blind eye and didn't interfere.
How did this cause him so much trouble? Looking at the group of people behind him, all of them were eyeing him menacingly; it was clear this wouldn't end well.
"Gentlemen, what are you doing?"
"Director Wu, do you still recognize me?" Hearing the voice, everyone made way for Jiang Ruzhen to step out from behind the crowd.
She was still dressed in the same tattered and shabby clothes, with a tattered work scarf tied around her head, covering her quite tightly, leaving only her eyes showing.
Factory Director Wu stared at her for a long time without recognizing her. "You are?"
Jiang Ruzhen pulled the veil off her face, revealing her features.
Even though twelve years had passed and Jiang Ruzhen had fine lines around her eyes, Director Wu still recognized her at a glance.
There was no way around it; her face was just too striking, too beautiful, making her unforgettable.
He used to be proud of her, after all, no other large machinery factory in the area had a broadcaster who was so beautiful and talented.
"Jiang Ruzhen! What brings you here?"
Factory Director Wu's right eyelid kept twitching uncontrollably; it seems like this is more of a curse than a blessing!
"Qin Lanlan, tell me what you know again." Jiang Ruzhen didn't answer him, but turned to look at Qin Lanlan.
At this point, Qin Lanlan had given up all hope. She simply sat down on the ground, wrapped herself in the tattered sheet, and calmly recounted everything she knew.
When Director Wu, the dozen or so colleagues from the security department, and the gatekeeper heard this, they were utterly stunned.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
My God, the shipyard is in complete chaos!
If the truth of the accident back then is really as Qin's daughter said, then this is a wrongful conviction that would shock the entire Liancheng!
Factory Director Wu felt a sudden darkness engulf him, and a metallic taste rose in his throat. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell, but was fortunately caught by the security personnel.
It's over, it's over, it's all over.
He caused a wrongful conviction, and his old bones are going to break, so his wish to retire unscathed will probably be dashed.
He forced himself to stay upright, suppressing the metallic taste in his mouth, and asked one more question, unwilling to give up.
"Qin family girl, is everything you're saying true?"
When Qin Lanlan heard Director Wu ask her a question, she looked up and sneered.
"Director Wu, right? Logically speaking, as the leader of such a big factory, you should handle the accident fairly and impartially. How come you were completely fooled by my mother, a housewife who is nothing?"
"Your abilities aren't that great, are you? Did you take some bribes or...? You don't have some shady relationship with my mother, do you?"
Now that things have come to this, and we've already torn off all pretenses, let's all sink together.
Qin Lanlan has gone mad; she wants to kill everyone equally, so that no one will have an easy time.
