Snap—
Bang--
Bang—
The claim that the Ruan family harbored thieves is tantamount to dropping a deep-sea torpedo on a calm sea.
Lights began to come on in the neighboring houses one after another. Ruan Kangri suddenly sat up in bed, but his legs gave way as he tried to get out of bed and fell to his knees on the hard cement floor.
Who is harboring thieves?
Did Ruan resist the Japanese?
Who is Ruan Kangri?
Oh! It's me!
The cries for help continued from downstairs.
His muddled mind finally cleared, and he tried to get up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground. He kicked his feet a few times, but failed because he was trying to get up too quickly.
I fell flat on my face.
He landed face down.
He pounded the ground with a ferocious expression, then slowly got up.
The Ruan family's front door had long been kicked and banged loudly by the neighbors.
“Ruan Kangri, open the door. I know you’re home.”
The cries for help grew more and more desperate.
More and more neighbors gathered in front of the gate. Lü Da shielded his elderly father behind him and kicked the gate open with a powerful kick.
Bang—
The rebounding door panel hit Ruan Kangri squarely on the forehead as he ran downstairs. He covered his forehead and collapsed to the ground, his vision blurred.
Led by Commander Lü and Grandma Wang, the veteran revolutionaries filed in, not even glancing at the fallen and unable-to-get-up Brigade Commander Ruan, and followed the cries for help to the outside of the toilet...
The older generation could ignore Ruan's anti-Japanese stance, but the younger generation couldn't. Several young people who came with their grandparents or parents hurriedly helped the brigade commander, who had clearly fallen badly, to his feet.
Once fully awake, Ruan Kangri finally remembered that his granddaughter was still locked in the toilet and realized who was calling for help.
Seeing his uninvited neighbors, his face was even more unpleasant than if he had eaten two pounds of excrement. He pushed aside the eldest son of the Lü family who was helping him and rushed back into the house.
When he arrived, the toilet door was open, and the elderly people remained unfazed by the overwhelming stench.
When they saw the bloodied figure huddled in a corner of the toilet, their expressions finally changed. The old men stood still, while Grandma Wang and her daughter-in-law carried the person out.
The little girl was covered in dirt, with a wound on her forehead and blood all over her face. She clutched the front of her clothes with one hand, her face filled with fear.
He murmured softly, "Help me, help me!"
Wang's daughter-in-law's expression softened, and she and her mother-in-law worked together to carry the person to the sofa.
No matter how tainted a person's background may be, it is ultimately the parents' fault. What has the child done wrong?
The old woman draped the thin garment over the trembling maid, then turned abruptly and glared angrily at the bewildered Ruan Kangri.
His voice, barely concealing his rage, demanded, "Tell me, what happened?"
Ruan Kangri's gaze pierced through the crowd and met Tian Tian's eyes, which seemed panicked but were actually defiant.
He never expected that the brat would be so bold as to try to kill him.
With several pairs of eyes watching him, Ruan Kangri brainstormed how to handle the situation.
He was torn between fearing that the girl might ruin him with a single word and the fear that she might say something that would affect the election for division commander.
The most urgent thing is to shut her up...
Ruan Kangri pounced on Tian Tian like a hungry tiger, his hands trembling as he tried to hug his granddaughter, his voice shaking.
"Who did this to you? Tell Grandpa that your mother was just admitted to the hospital and you got hurt again. How am I supposed to explain this to her?"
Who exactly did you and your daughter offend?
"Old bastard," Tian Tian thought with a hint of resentment. Even at this moment, she didn't forget to smear the mother and daughter, implying that they had caused trouble outside and were being retaliated against!
Moreover, mentioning the hospitalized mother at this time is also a form of threat.
As expected, Ruan Kangri's expression was heavy with suppressed anger, his eyes filled with warning, as if to say: Don't talk nonsense, think about your mother if you don't think about yourself.
She cursed the Ruan family genealogy a hundred and eighty times in her heart, then opened her mouth, her voice weak: "I, I don't know."
I woke up with a terrible headache and discovered that I was not only injured, but also locked in a filthy toilet.
She seemed terrified, curling up and scanning the faces of her neighbors with their varied expressions, before crying out again.
“I called for my grandpa and cousin, but you ignored me. Then I remembered that Baozhu was also locked in the toilet like this in the afternoon. I was afraid that you would be harmed, so I could only shout for help.”
Grandpa, I'm so glad you're alright!
She pointed out that the first person locked in the toilet was Nguyen Bao Chu, and that the retaliation was also due to the trouble she had brought to the family.
At the same time, it leaves room for interpretation.
But it's absurd for her to think she can destroy the Ruan family just because she was injured and locked in the toilet. However, she needs to grasp this point and negotiate with the old man.
Hearing that she didn't immediately reveal the real reason for her injury, Ruan Kangri felt half relieved, but suddenly a loud shout rang in his ears.
"Nonsense."
Grandpa Lu's face was full of anger. "What kind of place do you think this is, where any random thug can sneak in?"
"What if they were enemy agents? How could we old guys possibly survive?"
He added, "I heard cries for help coming from your room in the middle of the afternoon. I thought I was hallucinating, but the Gu family boy went in to check and found nothing wrong. Then this whole thing happened at night..."
"Ruan, you're resisting Japan, why don't you confess the truth?"
Ruan Kangri shuddered and was about to find a way to defend himself when Tian Tian's shifting gaze met that of Ruan Baozhu, who was peeking around the corner on the second floor.
His lips parted silently and uttered three words: Your turn!
Ruan Baozhu didn't understand, but intuitively felt that the look was a bit scary. She didn't want to get involved for fear of getting into trouble, but she also didn't want to miss out on the excitement, so she hid at the corner of the stairs.
The next moment, Tian Tian grabbed Grandma Wang's finger in a panic, her voice anxious.
"Baozhu, with such a commotion, Baozhu hasn't shown up yet. Could something have happened to her?"
"Please, Grandma, save my cousin!"
Ruan Kangri's expression suddenly turned cold. He wanted to go upstairs himself, but Grandma Wang had already stood up straight, her meaningful gaze falling on his nervous face.
