Ma Yunfei's words enlightened Liu Fei.
She said happily, "My son, I... I'm so stupid. I've completely misunderstood the problem. You're right. I not only have to tell the police about Gu Tian kidnapping me, but I also have to tell them that Gu Tian forced my husband to find him a temporary job, otherwise he threatened to make our lives miserable."
Ma Yunfei said happily, "That's right, that's correct. If you want to save your godfather, you have to tell the police the truth."
Liu Fei stammered, "Son, last night, one of my windows wasn't closed properly, and Gu Tian climbed in through it. He... he's a beast, he actually..."
Liu Fei stopped mid-sentence.
Ma Yunfei was a smart man and guessed it immediately, asking, "Mom, did Gu Tian bully you last night?"
Liu Fei said through tears, "This beast, he...he..."
Ma Yunfei feigned grief and indignation, saying, "Gu Tian is simply inhuman, Mom. Since he treats you like this, you should be even less inclined to protect him."
Liu Fei hesitated before asking, "Son, I'm worried that if I tell everyone about this, I'll lose all face. I... I'm also worried that if my husband finds out, he... he might suspect me..."
Ma Yunfei said decisively, "Mom, you can make an agreement with the police to keep this a secret and not tell anyone, especially not Godfather. I think the police should be able to do that."
Liu Fei stamped her feet and said, "Gu Tian really screwed me over. I never dreamed he would be such a pervert."
"Mom, the question is: do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, Gu Tian tore my shorts in half, and there was his thing on them. Also, the stained bed sheet hasn't been washed yet. These are all evidence."
"Mom, don't hesitate any longer, I'll go with you to the county public security bureau right now."
At 3 p.m., there is another long-distance bus to the county town.
Liu Fei quickly gathered the evidence and then went to the county town with Ma Yunfei.
That evening, Liu Fei submitted this evidence and testimony to the Public Security Bureau.
The next morning, Liu Fei and Ma Yunfei returned to Qinglong Town.
Liu Fei pleaded, "Son, please don't tell anyone about these things."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I will never tell a second person. I swear: if I reveal a single word, may God punish me and make me die without a burial place."
“My son, I believe in you. Now, I feel more and more that I can’t live without you. I even feel that you are closer to me than my husband.”
Liu Fei said sadly, "Son, I don't know if your godfather will be able to get through this ordeal?"
"Mom, I think: as long as Godfather sticks to his guns and denies what Gu Tian exposed, there won't be any major problems. However, he might lose his position as town mayor."
Liu Fei sighed and said, "Whether I become the town mayor or not doesn't matter, as long as your godfather doesn't go to jail, that's my only wish."
When Ma Yunfei returned to Qinglong Town, as he passed the Baixing Restaurant, the young widow ran out and said, "Little brother, hurry back to the sales station. This morning, the abbot has been looking for you all over the streets."
Ma Yunfei was startled, thinking something had happened at the sales station, so he rushed there.
When the abbot saw Ma Yunfei arrive, he quickly ran over, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Boss, when I went to City A this time, Xia Tian asked why you didn't come. I told him you had some things to do recently, and Xia Tian asked me to pass on a message to you."
"What did you say?"
"Summer told you that you must go there in a couple of days. If you don't go now, you may never see her again."
Ma Yunfei jumped in fright and asked nervously, "What happened to Xia Tian?"
"She didn't say this, but she looked a little depressed. I think you still need to go to City A as soon as possible, otherwise, if something really happens to Xia Tian, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Ma Yunfei glanced at the yams in the warehouse and said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll go to City A with you."
Ma Yunfei's heart was pounding; he had no idea what had happened to Xia Tian.
He immediately ran to the post office and called Xia Tian.
"Brother Ma, why didn't you come yesterday?"
"Tianmei, recently, a lot of things have happened in Qinglong Town, which are related to the life and death of our sales station. I want to ask you: what have you encountered recently?"
"Brother Ma, my dad has introduced me to another boyfriend. He says he's a rich second-generation with tens of millions in assets and is pressuring me to get married soon."
"Oh! Have you met this rich kid yet?"
"Not yet. I just wanted to discuss with you how to deal with this rich kid. Last time, I wrote you a letter, but I didn't dare mention this matter in the letter. I just asked you to come and discuss the deep processing of yams."
“Tianmei, I’ll come tomorrow. We’ll discuss it when I get there. Remember: no matter what happens, don’t take a desperate path.”
"Brother Ma, if you don't come soon, you might never see me again."
"Tianmei, what do you mean by this?"
“Brother Ma, what should I do if my dad forces me to marry this rich second-generation? My dad threatens to hang himself all the time, and he’s already bought a rope and put it in a drawer.”
"Tianmei, your father is quite eccentric. How about this, we'll talk about it when I come tomorrow."
As Ma Yunfei came out of the post office, he saw a few people whispering together on the street. When he passed by, he heard one of them say, "Have you heard? Qinglong Town is going to have a change of government. Mayor Gu is going to be transferred, and Deputy Mayor Chang Xiaobao is going to become the mayor."
Ma Yunfei was surprised, delighted, and uneasy.
This rumor is most likely true.
Even if Gu Tian doesn't bring down Gu Le, it will still make the county suspicious of Gu Le.
Ma Yunfei hurriedly went to the town mayor's house.
Liu Fei was busy in the kitchen, and she was even singing.
“Son, you’re here. Your godfather just called and said he’s coming home soon. I’m busy cooking a few dishes so he can have a drink to calm his nerves. Perfect timing, you’re here too. Join your godfather for a few drinks later.”
Wanting to find out if the rumors on the street were true or false, Ma Yunfei agreed, "Mom, I'll go to the street and buy another roast chicken and some fried peanuts."
"Okay, then thank you for spending the money."
Ma Yunfei went to the sales station, greeted the abbot, and asked him to take Chen Yuyan home in the evening.
Ma Yunfei bought roast chicken and fried peanuts, and also carried a case of beer.
The town mayor isn't a big drinker; he usually enjoys a little beer.
Gu Tian drank all the beer in the house.
Ma Yunfei carried the load, panting heavily, to the town mayor's house.
Upon closer inspection, they found that Mayor Gu Le had already arrived home and was sitting on the sofa smoking.
The house was filled with smoke.
Ma Yunfei was taken aback. Gu Le rarely smoked, only occasionally smoking one cigarette when he was in a mood for something.
It seems that Gu Le is in a bad mood and is trying to relieve his worries with a cigarette.
