Zhong Wende walked out of the shed angrily, changing his usual scholarly demeanor and fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood foam from his mouth.
He loudly apologized to Captain Lu: "Captain, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's sleep so late. It really involves my son, and I can't control my anger."
Duan Qing also understood the whole story. She hugged Zhong Muqing who was standing next to Gao Lin and started crying.
The captain waved his hand and said, "You guys should handle your own issues. If you want to report a crime, just tell me."
What he meant was: personal grudges should be resolved on their own and he would not interfere.
But if he reports it to the police, he needs to know it in advance.
Zhong Wende's face was full of gratitude and he nodded repeatedly.
The news from the cowshed spread like wildfire, not only throughout Dahe Village, but also to the neighboring Dam Village.
Captain Liu of Dam Village looked relieved: Wow, it's a good thing they didn't take in this murderous scourge in the first place.
Even Secretary Wang's wife was impressed by him for a while. She was really far-sighted.
It seems that Secretary Wang’s promotion to the position of commune secretary is largely due to this woman’s contribution?
Captain Lu glared at the villagers who were watching the excitement and said, "Why don't you go back to sleep? You won't go to work tomorrow?"
The villagers dispersed in a swarm, returning to their own sheds in groups of three or four.
Meanwhile, Zhong Wende cast a murderous look at Ning Guoqing. "Ning Guoqing, no matter how big our grudge is, we both know that the disaster will not affect my wife and children. Why are you so cruel?"
Ning Guoqing hid the malice in his eyes and spoke with a clear conscience: "Qian Wenqiang said it was me, so you assumed that I ordered it? Then I said he ordered me to do it."
He pointed at Kong Xiuzhu.
Gao Lin stood in front of Kong Xiuzhu and said, "Bullshit."
Ning Guoqing shrugged: "Look? Who would admit it? If I didn't do it, I can't admit it, right?"
Lu Zhiye walked out of the darkness into the crowd: "Then let's report to the police. They should be able to give us the truth."
When he heard that he was going to report to the police, Qian Wenqiang rolled and crawled to hold Zhong Wende's thighs: "Old Zhong, I was confused for a moment, and I was bewildered and did something ridiculous. Please forgive me and don't report to the police. I beg you."
He was in tears, and his already thin and hunched body looked even more miserable.
A man who had been with him in the bullpen for a long time couldn't help but speak up and said, "Old Zhong, your son is fine, so there's no need to report him to the police. He already knows he was wrong, and you beat him up like this. Can't we both take a step back?"
He looked like he was preaching, and Zhong Wende wanted to tear his fake mask into pieces.
But thinking of what Lu Zhiye said, he took a deep breath for a long time, and then kicked Qian Wenqiang away: "Okay, but as compensation, I want half of Qian Wenqiang's work points this year."
Qian Wenqiang got up from the ground and nodded repeatedly: "I'll give it all to you, all to you, don't report it to the police."
Without half of his work points, he could at least survive by going up the mountain to find fruits or something. But if he was handed over to the police, he would most likely be shot because of his sensitive status.
"Okay, everyone take a break."
How could Qian Wenqiang dare to live in the same shed with Zhong Wende at this time? He moved his steps and wanted to move to another shed, but Lu Zhiye grabbed his collar from behind.
He dragged it towards the shed.
Lu Zhiye dragged him into the shed and pushed him to the ground.
Zhong Wende squatted down and looked him in the eye: "Qian Wenqiang, invite Ning Guoqing to the embankment early tomorrow morning. You know exactly what to say. If you don't do as I say, I know exactly when the police will come."
Qian Wenqiang shrank back and stammered, "Didn't you say no, I won't report it to the police?"
Zhong Wende looked at him like a fool and said, "I told this to outsiders, and you believe it?"
Qian Wenqiang turned his head to look at Kong Xiuzhu and the others, and saw that they looked deaf.
He suddenly realized that no one would help him.
They are even in the same group.
"Okay, I promise you." Qian Wenqiang felt powerless and had no choice but to agree.
Lu Zhiye looked at Zhong Wende, whose temperament had changed drastically in just one day, and felt deeply moved.
In the previous life, after Zhong Wende was rehabilitated and returned to the city, he used his iron-blooded tactics to make those who framed him suffer terribly.
Even though he saved him later, seeing Lu Zhiye's miserable appearance reminded him of his own son who had died early.
His son fell from the embankment like a rag, covered in blood, and looked very similar to Lu Zhiye in front of him, with not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body.
That's why he felt pity and saved Lu Zhiye.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the villagers were still talking about what happened the previous night with relish.
The team leader assigned a group of people to transport the stones in the river to the dam.
Lu Zhiye is very strong and is among them.
Qian Wenqiang was still a little reluctant. There were people coming and going on the embankment. If Ning Guoqing had any accident...
But when he turned around and met Zhong Wende's cold expression, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
In the end, he could only walk towards Ning Guoqing with a hunched back.
It is unknown what the two talked about. Ning Guoqing followed Qian Wenqiang to the embankment and found a place with few people.
Ning Guoqing didn't look happy: What a waste.
"Tell me, didn't you say they were going to deal with me? How are they going to deal with me?"
Qian Wenqiang told the truth and told him that Zhong Wende asked him to meet someone on the embankment.
Ning Guoqing's face changed drastically, and he quickly moved a few steps away from the dam, looking around.
But apart from a few villagers transporting stones, there was no sign of Zhong Wende.
He heaved a sigh of relief and warned, "I won't bother with you about what happened before, but from now on..."
But before he could finish his words, he saw Qian Wenqiang's face full of fear.
"ah!"
A scream that broke the sky made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Qian Wenqiang was so scared that he wet his pants and collapsed to the ground, shaking constantly.
“No, no…”
He crawled with weak hands and feet and looked towards the edge of the embankment.
When he saw the tragic scene below, Qian Wenqiang was so frightened that he was stunned. He could only make hoarse sounds and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
