"Yes," Aunt Chen said anxiously, quickly defending Village Chief Chen, "He only came to bring me a bowl of mushroom soup, surely he wouldn't even let me bring him something to eat?"
After saying that, she picked up the mushroom soup and showed it to the police officers in front of her.
"It's this mushroom soup!" Brother Zhao said. "He's suspected of deliberately poisoning someone!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Chen's mother's hand slipped, and the bowl fell to the ground, spilling the mushroom soup inside.
Only now did she take a good look at what the mushrooms in the bowl actually were.
"They're all poisonous mushrooms!" Chen's mother clenched her fists, shouting hoarsely at Village Chief Chen, "I've followed you for over ten years, and this is how you harm me!"
She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly felt the world spinning around her, and the food she had just eaten churned upwards in circles. Stomach acid irritated her throat, her head throbbed with pain, and she quickly passed out.
At this time, Village Chief Chen had already been captured by Brother Zhao and his group, and a doctor was promptly called to treat Chen's mother.
After the matter was settled, Lu Yunzhi saw that the play had come to a perfect end and was about to leave when he was stopped by Village Chief Chen.
"Lu Yunzhi, you've been plotting against me from the very beginning, haven't you!"
Lu Yunzhi looked contemptuously at Village Chief Chen, who was struggling haphazardly on the ground to no avail.
She raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically: "Who plotted against you? I just happened to see you go to borrow a thermal lunchbox and noticed that the mushroom soup you cooked looked a bit off."
"Change the insulated box?" Village Chief Chen suddenly recalled what had just happened.
They had planned that once they arrived at Lu Yunchuan's place, they would use his food and drink.
So they only brought enough money for the journey and food and drink along the way when they left home, and had no extra money.
He had just bought mushrooms and borrowed a pot to make soup. After these expenses, he had almost no extra money left.
Since ordinary lunchboxes don't keep food warm, Village Chief Chen borrowed an insulated lunchbox from the hospital to avoid Aunt Chen scrutinizing the mushroom soup later.
Little did she know that all her actions were being watched by Lu Yunzhi, and that they had discovered her secret when she borrowed the insulated box.
"Brother Zhao and I just came to the hospital, intending to visit Qianqian, but we didn't expect to run into you acting so suspiciously, so we just followed you around for a look." Lu Yunzhi planned to make sure Village Chief Chen died knowing why, and explained it to him.
Brother Zhao nodded in agreement, standing next to Lu Yunzhi. "If you're just bringing a bowl of ordinary soup, there's absolutely no need to borrow a deep-bottomed insulated lunchbox, unless you're trying to hide something."
"So, Xiao Lu and I went over to take a look."
It would have been better not to look. What I saw shocked me.
It's filled with mostly poisonous mushrooms; it's designed to kill people.
Afterwards, Lu Yunzhi and Brother Zhao followed behind Village Chief Chen silently, waiting for his next move.
Upon discovering that he had deliberately prepared poisonous mushrooms for Chen's mother to eat, they immediately rushed in to stop the two.
After hearing the whole story, Village Chief Chen is now completely disheartened.
He fell into Lu Yunzhi's trap from the very beginning. If he had known this would happen, he should have let Lu Yunzhi use those so-called evidence to report him.
While Village Chief Chen was being taken to the police station, Chen's mother was also rescued.
Alright.
Although her life was not in danger, the poisonous mushrooms damaged her nervous system, and she may have difficulty controlling her movements freely in the future.
The two members of the Chen family were imprisoned on their way to the south to find their son-in-law.
After Shen Qianqian was discharged from the hospital, Lu Yunzhi made a special trip to the police station before the two of them set off, in order to visit Village Chief Chen.
"Village Chief, long time no see! You've grown so much gray hair." Village Chief Chen had only been in prison for a week, but his hair had turned mostly white. Being imprisoned for poisoning his own family member made him ashamed to face others.
He was often bullied by his fellow inmates.
His voice had become hoarse, and his dry lips parted as he asked, "What are you doing here?"
The person who got their whole family imprisoned is definitely not a good person to come here suddenly.
Lu Yunzhi took the stack of papers out of his briefcase and handed them to Village Chief Chen from the table, saying, "These are the things you've been longing for."
As Village Chief Chen looked at the stack of white paper, his previously cloudy eyes suddenly cleared.
He got up. He eagerly took the paper and began to read it, but what he found was—
All blank sheets of paper!
The papers in Village Chief Chen's hand scattered all over the ground. He glared at Lu Yunzhi with uncontrollable rage, "You—!"
9
He'd lived most of his life, done so many things without being discovered. Now, he'd been outsmarted by a mere youth!
How could he possibly swallow this insult!
Lu Yunzhi was quite satisfied with Village Chief Chen's expression. He lowered his voice and said, "However, I did know about that incident back then."
Before Chen Xiaofang was born, the Chen family had adopted a girl. After Chen Xiaofang was born, they cruelly killed the girl with the same bowl of soup.
The reason was simply that the girl's wealthy biological parents came to their door, and the village chief and his group wanted Chen Xiaofang to take her place.
After that, with the help and support of his wealthy parents, the Chen family became the richest family in the village, ruling with impunity.
However, later, the wealthy parents tragically died in an accident, leaving the Chen family destitute.
It relied on its greatest strength, which is why it slowly declined.
"How did you end up there?" Village Chief Chen was eager to know the truth, as he had thought that what he did back then was flawless.
"She asked me for help back then." Lu Yunzhi's tone was tinged with sadness as he recalled the incident.
