Ding Youliang forced a smile: "Gentlemen! I am the village head of Dingjiatun Village and the captain of Qingshan Team One. My name is Ding Youliang. Why have you come to the village so early? Is something wrong?"
Shen Guoliang looked at him and said, "Brother Youliang, don't be nervous. Didn't Doctor Su get hit on the arm by a gun? They're here to investigate this matter and might take everyone away for questioning."
Following behind Ding Youliang, his wife Wang Youhe blurted out, "Then why are you being watched over?"
Shen Guoliang said helplessly, "I have other matters that I need to cooperate with in the investigation."
"Oh..." Wang Youhe nodded. "Well, you're quite cooperative. Um, is there anything my family can help with?"
Shen Guoliang glanced at Han Weiguo, whose face was ashen, then at Lian Xun, whose expression was utterly unreadable, and smiled, "It should all be mostly taken care of. Youliang, weren't you feeling unwell with your back? You should still take care of yourself and get some rest!"
Watching Shen Guoliang chat with this clueless village chief, Han Weiguo frowned and cleared his throat: "Ahem!"
Both of them fell silent.
Han Weiguo continued to Xia Tianyu, "Go on about Su Ruyi stealing your sister's gun!"
Xia Tianyu understood and immediately picked up the thread: "It was she who stole it, I saw it with my own eyes! Not only did I see it, but Xia Tianxiu saw it too!"
"Who is Xia Tianxiu?" Han Weiguo felt that the situation was becoming more and more complicated.
Just then, some noises came from Li Wang's box in the corner.
Everyone inside was startled.
Han Weiguo stepped forward and yanked open the lid of the box.
A girl with a bruised and swollen face emerged, her timid eyes scanning everyone around her.
It's summer now.
Of course, she had been put into the box by Su Ruyi a few minutes earlier, and the gold needles on the back of her head had been removed.
Xia Tianxiu, inside the box, could also hear people talking outside.
Su Ruyi knocked her unconscious and put her into the space just now to prevent her from going to testify.
But now, there's no hope of pinning the gun-cracking incident on Su Yin.
She had planned to release her at a more opportune time, but now, if she didn't release her now, she would miss her chance.
Since it's impossible to make Su Yin take the blame, and since Xia Tianxiu has already turned against them, let's make her confirm that Xia Tianlu fired a gun. We can get rid of one person at a time!
When Xia Tianyu saw Xia Tianxiu, she looked like she had seen a ghost: "You... how come you were hiding in Su Yin's room?"
Then she explained to Han Weiguo, "She...she is Xia Tianxiu!"
Li Wang was also stunned, but he immediately looked at Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi gently shook her head at him.
Li Wang understood and retreated into the crowd.
Apart from the few words she had just heard, Xia Tianxiu's memory was still stuck on the time when Su Ruyi asked her to meet, and she had just walked to Su Ruyi's courtyard when someone grabbed her wrist and she lost consciousness.
But she is an exceptionally intelligent person.
A few minutes earlier, when she woke up in Li Wang's trunk, she thought Su Ruyi had kidnapped her and was going to kill her to silence her.
After thinking about it again, Su Ruyi had no reason to do that.
Listening to their conversation, Xia Tianxiu understood, so she made some noise.
Soon, the darkness dissipated, and the lid of the box was opened by a strange and majestic giant.
She then realized that she was in Su Yin's brother's room, and that she had crawled out of Li Wang's trunk.
Seeing everyone staring intently at her, Xia Tianxiu's eyes lit up—her chance had come!
She immediately looked at Su Yin, her eyes filled with both panic and resentment: "Brother Su Yin, what should we do? They've found us!"
Su Yin was also dumbfounded: "What discovery? You... why were you in Li Wang's box?"
Xia Tianxiu feigned innocence: "Brother Su Yin, didn't you tell me to hide inside? You said that our relationship shouldn't be known to others yet..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, one toe stepping on the other, her hands holding the hem of her clothes, refusing to look up again.
Su Ruyi was also somewhat stunned when she heard this.
This summer show is all about taking this opportunity to solidify her relationship with Su Yin!
But I wonder how far things have progressed between them in this life?
At this moment, Xia Tianlu rushed over like a madwoman and started tearing at Xia Tianxiu: "The person that your aunt has her eye on, you, a bastard picked up from a garbage dump, dare to try and steal him? Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"
Xia Tianxiu took two steps back and hid behind Han Weiguo: "This is a society where everyone is equal now. I... Su Yin likes me. Sister, forced love is never sweet. Give up!"
Xia Tianlu was furious: "You viper! I never would have guessed! If I'd known, my dad shouldn't have saved you! He should have just let you die in the garbage dump!"
Summer Show didn't say anything more.
Han Weiguo understood immediately—it seemed they had unexpectedly stumbled upon a pair of lovers!
At this moment, he finally remembered who Xia Tianxiu was—this abandoned baby girl, whom he was the first to find back then, and who was eventually taken home by Xia Dong.
Because of this past connection, his gaze softened when he looked at Xia Tianxiu: "Miss, how did you get the injury on your face?"
Xia Tianxiu lowered her head and replied, "I accidentally...fell."
Han Weiguo patiently asked a few more questions, but Xia Tianxiu looked terrified and insisted that she had fallen and refused to say anything else.
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, and Han Weiguo was getting impatient: "Alright, we'll talk about your business with this young man later. Tell me first what you saw about Su Ruyi snatching Xia Tianlu's gun!"
"Huh?" Xia Tianxiu looked up in astonishment. "I...I didn't see it! I only saw Xia Tianlu hit Su Ruyi with a gun, but it seemed like she missed, and Su Ruyi disappeared! Xia Tianlu also ran away with the gun!"
...
silence.
A deathly silence.
Xia Tianxiu's betrayal was unexpected by everyone present except Su Ruyi.
Xia Tianlu was stunned, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
Xia Tianyu blurted out, "You shameless bastard! The Xia family picked you up from a garbage dump and raised you! Is this how you repay us?"
Summer's eyes were filled with tears, but she did not respond.
Han Weiguo's face had turned ashen, almost black.
After almost a full minute of silence, he roared, "Take them away! Take everyone in this room away!"
Su Ruyi immediately blocked Su Qiushi's way: "My grandfather has nothing to do with this. He's too old to go with you!"
Su Qiushi pushed her away, saying, "Ruyi, I can do it! Let me go with you, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"
Han Weiguo glanced at Su Qiushi again: "Take them all away! No one in this house can escape responsibility!"
Su Ruyi was about to argue further when Su Qiushi gripped her hand tightly: "Don't suffer a loss now."
