In his entire life, Xu Qiang has never let anyone get the better of him without retaliating, not even his own son!
He's just a kid; he's far from being as good as him...
Xu Qiang and Xu Qingyan remained locked in a silent standoff, each waiting for the other to soften their stance first...
For a moment, the main room of the Xu family fell silent, a chilling and oppressive atmosphere seeping in...
Xu Xiaocao secretly observed the situation inside from the outside. She dared not peek out for fear of being discovered. If she were caught at this moment, it would be tantamount to courting death!
For a moment, the Xu family was eerily quiet. Everyone was preoccupied with their own plans, and the only sound was the buzzing of insects in the surrounding area...
Suddenly, the sound of police sirens rang out in the village. It was already evening, and people without any recreational facilities would usually be preparing to rest at this time.
Upon hearing the sirens of police cars coming from the village, everyone immediately began to look around...
Those who hadn't done anything wrong naturally ran out excitedly to see what was going on...
Some people who have done something shameful are already trembling with fear...
Xu Qiang and his son exchanged a glance, tacitly setting aside their previous confrontation and becoming alert to any commotion outside.
Xu Xiaocao naturally heard the police sirens. Her eyes darted around. "Could it be about Wei Jinlian and Xu Di...?"
Just as Xu Xiaocao was still thinking, Xu Qiang called to her, "Xiaocao! Go see what happened."
Xu Xiaocao heard Xu Qiang's call but didn't answer. Instead, she quietly slipped back into the kitchen, pretending not to have heard.
Seeing that Xu Xiaocao didn't respond, Xu Qiang became impatient. "Xu Xiaocao! Why don't you get over here right now? Do I have to come and get you?"
Xu Xiaocao then rushed over in a panic, pretending to be frightened, and whispered, "Dad... is something wrong?"
Xu Qiang pointed outside, "Go and see what's going on outside."
"Okay..." Xu Xiaocao nodded meekly, then ran outside.
Xu Xiaocao had just run to the village entrance when she saw that a lot of people had already gathered there.
Out of an innate fear of the police, some people did not dare to get too close, but most of them stared at the approaching police with excitement and curiosity.
The policeman who arrived was a bit serious. He looked at the villagers who were keeping a certain distance from him, but didn't say anything. He simply asked, "Who is the village chief?"
"I am the village chief, officer. May I ask what brings you to Willow Leaf Village so late at night?"
An elderly man emerged from the crowd; this was Ye Gang, the village chief of Liuye Village.
Ye Gang is in a very bad mood right now. These policemen never come to his village unless they have a reason, and with the end of the year fast approaching, if something really happens in his village, his year-end performance review will be disastrous...
The year-end performance review is crucial to my score; if I don't do well, my term as village chief is essentially over...
Seeing the nervous village chief, the policeman smiled reassuringly, "I'm not here for anything important. I'm here to see Dr. Yan Ning and his wife."
"What?!" A commotion immediately erupted around them...
