Gu Tian went to the county public security bureau and confessed to a series of bad things that Gu Le had made him do.
Gu Tian was so frightened that his speech became somewhat incoherent.
The two policemen whispered to each other for a moment, and one of them said, "This guy seems to have some mental problems."
Another policeman agreed, saying, "Yes, I also think this person is a bit strange. Since the mayor of Qinglong Town is his cousin and once gave him a temporary job at the Qinglong Town government, why would he report him? It doesn't seem to make sense from any perspective."
"Alright, let him go."
The police officer said to Gu Tian, "We have written down everything you reported."
Gu Tian asked, "Aren't you going to arrest me?"
The police officer smiled and said, "You can go back now. We'll contact you if we need anything in the future."
As Gu Tian walked out of the police station, he was puzzled. Although his cousin Gu Le had manipulated him into doing many bad things, he was, after all, the main culprit. Why was he let off so easily?
Gu Tian thought for a moment and then made a call to Gu Le's office from a public phone booth.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Gu Tian called the town mayor's house again, and Liu Fei answered the phone.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for? If you are looking for the mayor, please call his office."
"Sister-in-law, I am Gu Tian."
Liu Fei asked in surprise, "Where are you? What do you want?"
“Sister-in-law, you and my cousin are really not fair. I have helped you so much, but when I asked you to lend me 50,000 yuan, not only did you refuse, but you also orchestrated people to beat me up and bury me alive. You two have gone too far.”
"Gu Tian, what nonsense are you spouting? This morning, I withdrew five thousand yuan from the bank. Didn't you receive the money?"
“Sister-in-law, I received the five thousand yuan, but it’s not enough. My father has stomach cancer and needs surgery urgently. We need to pay a deposit of fifty thousand yuan.”
"Gu Tian, this is extortion, blatant extortion! Do you think my family is a bank? Or that we have a money printing machine? You dare to ask for 50,000 yuan right off the bat?"
"Sister-in-law, it's one thing if you won't lend me money, but you shouldn't have done this to me."
"Gu Tian, explain yourself clearly, who tried to poison you?"
“Sister-in-law, this morning, my cousin gave me five thousand yuan. On my way back to Xiaozhuang Village, I was kidnapped by a masked man. He not only beat me up badly, but also tried to bury me alive. If I hadn’t begged him so desperately, I would have been buried alive.”
"Gu Tian, you've crafted a wonderful story. I never imagined you had such a talent for storytelling, haha... It seems you'd be quite suited to be a director."
"Sister-in-law, stop pretending to be stupid. You know perfectly well what you two have done and what conspiracy you've plotted."
"Gu Tian, if you want to borrow money, then don't try anything funny. Saying that we want to bury you alive is utter nonsense."
"Sister-in-law, don't say anything more. I called you just to ask you to tell my cousin to wait until he goes to jail."
Liu Fei was taken aback and asked in a panic, "Gu Tian, what do you mean by this?"
“Sister-in-law, I’m in the county town now. I just went to the police station and confessed all the bad things my cousin made me do. The police told me to go home and wait for their judgment. I think it won’t be long before the police come to your house.”
Liu Fei's legs went weak with fear. She collapsed to the ground and pleaded, "Gu Tian, how... how can you be so heartless? Have you forgotten that if your cousin hadn't brought you here to do temporary work, your parents would have starved to death long ago?"
“Sister-in-law, I admit: my cousin did help me, but I also helped him a lot. In fact, he owes me. I had no choice but to come here to borrow money this time. But you not only gave me a perfunctory response, but also hired someone to kill me. This has forced me into a corner.”
"Gu Tian, you can't do this! You're ungrateful! You're repaying kindness with enmity! You're ungrateful!"
Gu Tian said fiercely, "Sister-in-law, keep cursing. In a few days, your cousin will be in jail. At that time, you, the official's wife, will fall from grace and become a pile of stinking dog shit."
Gu Tian hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Liu Fei stared blankly at the microphone; she was completely terrified.
Gu Tian said he reported the town mayor to the police station, which is probably not a lie.
Liu Fei hurriedly called the town mayor's office, making three calls before the mayor finally answered.
"Honey, where did you go?"
"I just finished a meeting."
"Honey, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
"Honey, don't panic, tell me slowly, what happened?"
"Just now, Gu Tian called and said he has reported you to the county public security bureau."
Gu Le was so startled that he dropped the microphone on the table.
He forced himself to remain calm as he picked up the microphone and asked, "What else did Gu Tian say?"
"Gu Tian said that the police will come to arrest you soon, and that you will definitely go to jail."
Gu Le gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "That kid is really wicked. He actually reported me. Wife, don't be afraid. He can deny everything I asked him to do. As long as he denies it, everything will be fine. Remember: know nothing. No matter what they ask you, just say you don't know."
Liu Fei asked nervously, "Honey, can you just deny it?"
“I have no evidence against Gu Tian. In fact, I had anticipated this move long ago.”
"Ah! Honey, you are so wise, so great, so amazing!"
"Honey, from now on, let's not talk about these things on the phone. Let's talk about them in person. The phone isn't reliable either; it's very likely that we'll be tapped."
"Honey, I understand."
Liu Fei calmed herself down. She believed her husband's words; as long as he stubbornly denied it, no one could do anything to him.
Mayor Gu Le thought about it and felt something was wrong. He had instructed the abbot to teach Gu Tian a lesson, and repeatedly told him to say one thing to Gu Tian: "You've cheated on me, and I won't let you get away with this."
Gu Le wanted to divert attention and prevent Gu Tian from suspecting him.
Did the abbot forget to say this when he beat up Gu Tian?
Gu Le hurried to the yam sales station.
The abbot, shirtless, carried yams, sweating profusely, beads of sweat streaming down his face like a small river.
Ma Yunfei was also carrying yams; his white vest had turned gray.
Gu Le muttered, "Look at Ma Yunfei, that's what it looks like to make a fortune. Unlike Er Lv, who sleeps in a recliner all day, he's a complete lazybones."
When Ma Yunfei saw Gu Le arrive, he quickly took off the yams from his shoulder and went to greet him: "Godfather, you've arrived."
Gu Le said with a gloomy face, "Xiao Ma, call the abbot over. I have something to ask him."
Ma Yunfei asked, "Godfather, has something happened?"
"Quickly summon the abbot."
Ma Yunfei shouted loudly, "Third brother, come here for a second."
