Night fell. Winter nights are always exceptionally quiet. In the square where the tractor was placed, there were many bricks and tiles stored. Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu hid behind a pile of them.

The snow had stopped for four or five days and there was no thick snow on the ground, so they were not afraid that anyone would discover their footprints.

Xu Haonan rubbed Shen Zhizhu's hands, put his hands in his pockets, and used his hands to warm Shen Zhizhu's frozen red ears.

"He may not come tonight, so you should go back first. It's very cold here, don't get frostbite."

Shen Zhizhu's ears felt cold, and Xu Haonan tried to warm them up for a long time but they didn't warm up again.

"If our guess is correct, then tonight is the time for him to strike. I'm not cold, just wait a little longer."

Just when Shen Zhizhu's legs were about to go numb from squatting, two sneaky figures came rushing over from a distance, turning their heads every three steps and looking around continuously.

The sense of stealing is so strong that it is obvious at a glance that he has no good intentions.

Shen Zhizhu was a little puzzled. If the person who came was Du Manjun, then who was the person traveling with him? Is there anyone willing to accompany him in doing such an illegal and criminal thing?

Xu Haonan watched the two figures gradually approaching, he leaned close to Shen Zhizhu's ear and whispered.

"That person looks a lot like Shen Aiqiu."

"Shen Aiqiu?"

When Shen Zhizhu heard this name, for some reason, he had a sense of déjà vu, as if it wouldn't be surprising if that person was Shen Aiqiu.

They walked closer and closer, and when they came into the light, Shen Zhizhu saw two people clearly. In addition to Du Manjun, the other person was really Shen Aiqiu.

Du Manjun looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone he knew would appear. Shen Ai Qiu pushed him impatiently, signaling him to move faster.

"Don't push me. It's late at night and everyone in the village is asleep. Who would know that you and I are here?"

Although he complained, he still went to the tractor and beat the drum obediently, making a crisp sound.

"Keep your voice down. If someone finds out, our plan will be ruined! We finally managed to convince that idiot Shen Zhizhu to go up the mountain. Don't let your efforts go to waste. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll get it next time."

Shen Zhizhu thought that with such a big change happening in their families, they might stay at home obediently. Even if they were not, he never expected that they were plotting something big.

"Shen Aiqiu, I'm warning you. You came to me for a consultation because you don't know how to tamper with the car. Since we are working together, don't order me around in a commanding tone."

"I want Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan to die more than you do. How can a bastard who grew up doing menial labor deserve to score better than me in the exam?"

"Humph, Shen Zhizhu is even more shameless. She was so kind to help me fulfill her wish to marry me, but she didn't appreciate it. She embarrassed me in front of so many people and even sent my father to jail. With a father who was in jail for attempted murder, what future do I have?"

Shen Ai Qiu still looked impatient. She didn't know much about cars, but she was inspired by her last trip to the mountains and came up with an idea.

"I have to thank Shen Zhizhu. Now all the family savings are mine. I don't have to depend on them to make a living. After I finish my exams next year, I will have a bright future."

She turned around and looked at everything in sight.

"I can leave this backward place, go to the big city, and become a glamorous city dweller."

Du Manjun stood up from the tractor and asked in confusion.

"Since you have all these benefits, why do you want to kill them?"

Shen Zhizhu, who was hiding in the dark, could guess something in his heart, and was not surprised that Shen Aiqiu wanted to kill him.

It seems that these two people want to kill me. This is an established trend. It all depends on whether I can break this situation.

"She, Shen Zhizhu, is nothing but a punching bag in the family. She eats and drinks everything I don't want, and it all depends on my mood. But now look at her, she is so proud, she has endless money to spend, she was admitted to Peking University, and she has a happy family that gives in to her in everything. She, Shen Zhizhu, doesn't deserve it!"

When talking about this, Shen Ai Qiu's face turned grim, and she wished Shen Zhizhu would die in front of her right now.

【This is a disease and needs to be treated.】

Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xu Haonan felt that Shen Zhizhu was right. Isn't he just sick? He can't stand seeing others doing well.

Shen Ai Qiu was afraid that someone might pass by, so he kept urging the other person to hurry up, and his tone became increasingly impatient.

"Are you done yet? Why are you working so slowly? Are you able to do this?"

It was also the first time for Du Manjun to do such a thing. He was inevitably a little afraid of the hard work. In addition, Shen Aiqiu kept urging him, which made him feel irritated.

"No, you come. Why are you so impatient? I told you that there's no one here at this hour, but you keep urging us. Besides, will your method work? Can they really be eliminated in one go?"

"Of course. Once we get to the top of the mountain, let Xu Haonan drive the tractor, and Shen Zhizhu will accompany him. We'll pass the place where I fell last time. I saw that the soil there is quite loose and can't bear the weight of the tractor at all. That place is halfway up the mountain. If they fall down, I don't believe they can survive."

Du Manjun had completed the operation. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and checked it inside and out again.

"I don't think they'll find out it was us who did it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison."

Shen Zhizhu is very confident about this.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Your father bought it second-hand from someone else. Who can guarantee its quality? Besides, who can prove that it was you and I who did it?"

"Okay, okay, hurry back and be careful not to get discovered."

After they had completely walked away, Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu came out from behind the bricks. They heard their conversation clearly.

Xu Haonan knows cars well. Even if he couldn't see clearly what Du Manjun did specifically at night, he could still know the general location.

Without saying a word, he went straight to the tractor and checked every part of it to see if there was anything unusual.

"They are really going too far. They are the ones who are clearly trying to harm us, yet they act aggrieved and come up with such a vicious trick."

Xu Haonan was feeling indignant as he examined the patient.

Shen Zhizhu didn't know how to drive, so he could only help by using a mining lamp to shine on the side.

"There are always some people who will impose their own misfortunes on others, thinking that other people's happiness should be theirs. We are not that kind of people, so naturally we can't understand their brain circuits. It's normal."

After a while, Xu Haonan found traces of human modification.

"I found it. It's right here. It's just as I thought. When I heard they wanted to harm us in this way, I knew they would use the brakes to achieve their goal. And sure enough, that's what they did."
