Shu Wang Chai said, "Yes, the person in charge of this road fell ill. Xu Xiangdong knew about it and took the initiative to find me. What's the matter? Are you suspecting Xu Xiangdong? How could he be that kind of person?"
Gao Yue glanced at Tao Wenwen. She was close to Xu Xiangdong, and Xu Xiaoyun was still her apprentice. She might not believe it if he told her.
Let’s not talk about that for now.
"I just asked casually." Gao Yue said.
Tao Wenwen continued, "Notify everyone in charge of the medicine garden to come over, including Brother Niu."
Shu Wang Chai saw that their expressions seemed a little strange, so he didn't dare to ask any more specific questions. He just replied "OK" and ran off to do his work.
Tao Wenwen and Gao Yue were still in the medicine garden. She looked at the huge garden and frowned slightly, "What a wonderful medicine garden. Tsk."
It seemed a little angry, and also a little sarcastic.
There was no one else around, so Gao Yue took the opportunity to ask, "Do you think this was an accident?"
"I have done everything I can think of to prevent accidents. How can there be so many accidents in this world?"
"So, do you think it's man-made?"
Tao Wenwen asked back, "What do you think?"
"It's man-made." Gao Yue confirmed.
Shu Wang Chai, who had left, came back with those who had recently worked in the medicine garden.
Facing Tao Wenwen and Gao Yue, Xu Xiangdong simply lowered his eyes. He would make this expression when he felt guilty.
Tao Wenwen's eyes swept over them and finally locked onto Xu Xiangdong. She didn't want to ask any more questions.
Shu Wang Chai was afraid that everyone would think too much, so he tried to calm everyone down first. "There's nothing wrong with calling you over. It's just to check on your working hours."
Soon the work schedule was aligned, and Shu Wangchai showed it to Tao Wenwen and Gao Yue. "The time they said is exactly the same as what I recorded on the work sheet, and everyone is here too."
Tao Wenwen glanced at Gao Yue and said, "You handle it."
Gao Yue didn't shirk responsibility, and his words weren't as subtle or thoughtful as Shu Wang Chai's. He said, "Something's happened in the medicinal garden over in Shangnan Village. All the medicinal seedlings are infested with insects. The situation is very bad now. It's very likely that the entire garden of medicinal seedlings will be wasted."
Before he could finish his words, the scene exploded. Afraid of being implicated, everyone was busy explaining that they had been doing their job diligently and responsibly.
A group of people were talking at once and the scene was in chaos.
Gao Yue said, "I didn't apply the insect repellent."
The chattering stopped and everyone looked at Xu Xiangdong.
Someone said, "He did. It was Brother Niu who did it. Many people saw it. He's always been very careful in what he does. Is there some misunderstanding? Niu is an honest child. He wouldn't make a mistake. If you don't believe me, ask Wenwen."
Gao Yue looked at Tao Wenwen, he also wanted to see her attitude.
Tao Wenwen said, "We are just investigating now, and we haven't said anything about Brother Niu."
Seeing that Tao Wenwen had no intention of continuing to speak, Gao Yue had no choice but to take over the matter and continue to deal with it. He gave each person three minutes to be alone with him, and put Xu Xiangdong last.
As they went in and out of the house one by one, leaving with a sense of relief, it was finally Xu Xiangdong's turn.
After three minutes, Xu Xiangdong came out on time. He still had the same downcast look as before. When he passed by Tao Wenwen, he paused slightly and said, "I'm sorry."
Tao Wenwen, whose voice was so low, thought it was an auditory hallucination, but she knew in her heart that it was not, and she instantly became more certain about the outcome of the matter.
After he left, Gao Yue also came out of the house.
Tao Wenwen asked, "That's it?"
"Didn't you choose to let me handle it? Since you let me handle it, this is how I will handle it." Gao Yue said.
"All right."
Shu Wang Chai didn't understand their sign language and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Which link has gone wrong?"
"It's over. Apply the insecticide tomorrow." Gao Yue said.
He said it was over, which meant that this matter should never be mentioned again from now on.
"I'll arrange it right away!" Shu Wangchai didn't dare to ask any more questions and went back to work happily.
Tao Wenwen walked around the medicine garden again and confirmed that there were only insects. Only then did he feel relieved and went home with Gao Yue.
Gao Yue glanced at the calm Tao Wenwen and asked, "Aren't you curious about what Xu Xiangdong and I talked about?"
"Since you don't say it, you must have your plans."
Gao Yue said, "So, you already know that Xu Xiangdong was the one who did this?"
"He doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing, but it's a fact that he did it." Tao Wenwen said with a swaying step, "So I guess he was actually being used."
"Then?" Gao Yue encouraged her to continue.
Tao Wenwen glanced at him and said lightly, "Given your revengeful mentality, you must be using Xu Xiangdong to deal with the person behind him."
“I guessed all of them right.”
Gao Yue smiled and said, "I thought you would stop me from doing this because it was Xu Xiangdong."
"Why do you want to stop me?" Tao Wenwen didn't understand what he said.
Gao Yue said, "After all, he is your brother Aniu."
The tone of this statement clearly sounded like someone who was jealous.
"Everyone calls him Brother Niu, so I followed suit." Tao Wenwen said, which was also an explanation to him, although she didn't realize it.
Gao Yue was secretly delighted but remained expressionless.
Tao Wenwen said, "However, I didn't expect him to do such a thing. No matter how many difficulties he faced, we could have provided assistance, but he chose to compromise with the outside world."
This disappointed her.
"Anyway, this matter was discovered in time, and being able to stop the loss in time is also a good thing. Now that we have encountered it, we should face it well!" Gao Yue looked at the somewhat discouraged Tao Wenwen, patted her head, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."
It's not that she blames herself. Tao Wenwen just feels that her vision is still not good enough and her judgment of people is not unique enough. She was indeed too busy and didn't take care of the things in the medicine garden, and almost something big happened.
"How do you plan to use Xu Xiangdong to fight back against the person behind this?" Tao Wenwen gathered her low mood and immediately threw herself into the battle. "Have you guessed who's trying to harm us?"
"From the village, from outside the village, from Haicheng." Gao Yue said, asking Tao Wenwen to guess the person.
"In the village, there's Sun Wenyan and her daughter, who were banned from entering the village because of the trouble they were causing. Outside the village, there's Chen Xiuxiang, whose leg was broken. In Haicheng, there's Cai Jingbai and his son."
Tao Wenwen checked the names one by one, and when he was done, he looked at Gao Yue and asked, "How's it going? Did you guess correctly?"
"Smart!" Gao Yue praised like a child, "Then guess who's the most likely."
