Wenyan and Qiuyi were the first to react. Qiuyi ran outside to find the bicycle, while Wenyan quickly grabbed Hu Doudou's cotton-padded coat, gloves, and hat and ran out after him.
"Yan Yan, over here!"
Qiu Yi shouted at the gate, and Wen Yan ran out. The two of them rode their bikes to chase after Hu Doudou.
Hu Doudou ran off not in the direction of the commune, but in the direction of Shanglin City, and the two of them quickly caught up with her.
They knew the commune had the brigade leader's men, and going there would be like walking into a trap.
"Jianguo, Zhuoyang, you two hurry up and catch up with them, and protect Hu Doudou." Gu Yifeng shouted to the other male educated youths while helping to stop the brigade leader and other villagers.
Several educated youths responded and found bicycles to chase after them.
Now their educated youth team has several old bicycles, but after they rode them away, there are no more bicycles left.
Gu Yifeng and Yang Man, along with the remaining educated youth, blocked the entrance to the educated youth team's gate, preventing the villagers from chasing after them.
The harmonious scene that had prevailed during the day suddenly vanished, and the villagers and the educated youth became irreconcilable enemies.
The villagers were still somewhat confused at this point. Did they really want to protect Hao Qiang?
"Xiao Gu, do you really have to do this?" The captain stared at Gu Yifeng with a displeased expression.
He knew that Gu Yifeng had powerful connections, so he didn't dare to do anything to him and could only try his best to salvage the situation.
“Uncle, you are the brigade leader, above you are a resident of Taojia Village, and you are also a state cadre. Hao Qiang didn’t have much schooling and doesn’t understand the law, but don’t you understand?”
"Uncle, do you want to break the law? If you want to say that you have people in your commune and powerful connections, I'm not afraid. I also have people in the province. If you want this matter to alarm the province, I can make things even bigger."
The captain was startled by Gu Yifeng's words.
The educated youth looked at Gu Yifeng. They hadn't realized he was such a righteous person before, but they were surprised to see him so righteous when things really got tough.
The captain frowned. If this matter alarmed the provincial authorities, it would be serious. He didn't want to die, so he frowned and said, "Fine, then let's just wait and see!"
"What's going on? What happened to Qiangqiang?" Suddenly, Bai Meilan's panicked voice came from outside the gate.
The educated youth made way for her to come in, then blocked her way again.
When Bai Meilan saw Hao Qiang tied up and looked at the two groups of people, she understood what was going on. She knelt down and cried to the captain, begging him to save her son.
She also tearfully claimed that her son would never do such a thing, and that it must have been that vixen who seduced him.
Bai Meilan looked around but didn't see Hu Doudou, so she angrily asked where that little vixen had gone!
People, wanting to watch the spectacle, told her that Hu Doudou had gone to the police station to report the crime.
Upon hearing this, Bai Meilan became frightened and quickly ran to her son's side to ask him what had happened.
Hao Qiang was too embarrassed to say what he had done in front of so many people, so he kept quiet.
Bai Meilan was so anxious that she cried and made a fuss.
The crowd grew tired of listening, so some dispersed and went home, while others stayed to see what would happen next.
In the middle of the night, a police car came to the village and took away many people.
The next day, when Zhao Huanhuan went to school, she learned what had happened the night before.
Wen Yan, Qiu Yi, Fang Mei, and a few others told her what happened last night. After listening, Zhao Huanhuan's eyes widened in disbelief, her hand trembled, and the books she was holding fell to the ground.
Is Hao Qiang trying to get himself killed? Isn't Hu Doudou his girlfriend? What's he in such a hurry for?
Thinking about Hao Qiang's character in the original book, Zhao Huanhuan silently shut her mouth.
She roughly guessed Hao Qiang's fate.
He thought that he had escaped, survived, and gotten engaged to Hu Doudou, and that he had escaped the consequences of doing bad things. However, he never expected that he would ultimately not be able to escape that fate.
For a moment, she was stunned. What about her and Lin Yuan?
Now that they are husband and wife, they are no longer living the same life as in the original book. Will they be able to escape their tragic end?
Will they be able to stay happy together until they grow old?
Seeing Zhao Huanhuan staring blankly, Wen Yan also silently lowered her head. They had been up all night and didn't return from Shanglin until almost dawn. They rested on the kang for a while, but no matter what, they still had to study for the last day before the final exams, so they couldn't skip school.
Regardless of what the villagers did, the children were innocent. The villagers were uneducated and ignorant of the law, which is why they confronted the educated youth. But they absolutely cannot let the children continue like that. They must make sure the children learn knowledge and understand the law.
The rest of the day passed in a dull and lifeless atmosphere.
The brigade leader and several villagers, along with Hao Qiang and his mother, Gu Yifeng, Yang Man, Hu Doudou, and several other female educated youths, were with Hu Doudou. They were not in the village that day; they were still at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Although this incident appears to be an attempted rape, the fact that the victim was a female educated youth makes the matter quite serious.
The police station has already notified the police station in Hu Doudou's hometown by phone, and the people there, along with her parents, will come as soon as possible.
This matter involves the verbal engagement between Hu Doudou and Hao Qiang.
But Hu Doudou said that she did not want this marriage and was forced to agree to it. After she said this, the brigade leader was also labeled as someone who had made a mistake.
On the third day, Hu Doudou's parents and the police from that area arrived, and the case underwent its first formal hearing.
According to Hu Doudou's description, when they were verifying with Hao Qiang, Hu Doudou did not object when Hao Qiang said he kissed her.
