Bai Xiaoqin wasn't afraid at all. She simply rolled her eyes and squeezed in.
"Stop making baseless accusations. Jian Dan is the victim now, and you still want to turn the tables on him?"
Or do you want everyone to hear what heinous things you did on the train that deserve my revenge?
"I!"
Chen Ruonan immediately swallowed her anger. Would she dare?
Seeing the fiery gazes of the surrounding villagers, she kept her mouth tightly shut. She really didn't dare to speak, afraid that they would tear her apart on the spot. However, her gaze towards Bai Xiaoqin and Jian Dan was filled with hatred.
"Old Han, take him to the village office. Keep a close watch on him tonight, and send him to the county public security bureau tomorrow."
Just as a group of people were walking out, the sun was already setting when another group of teenagers came rushing into the educated youth compound, riding bicycles and wearing military green clothes, but their smugness was also very obvious.
"Who is Jian Dan? Someone reported you, and now we are going to search you."
Chen Ruonan trembled slightly and lowered her head deeply, afraid that someone would notice.
Liu Weimin suppressed his anger and stepped forward to negotiate.
"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We just discovered a thief. It was she who wrote the report to frame Jian Dan. We were just about to take it to the police station."
The boy in the lead clearly had no fear of the police.
"That has nothing to do with us. We are conducting a search after receiving a report. What, are you trying to stop our revolutionary progress?"
A group of children who don't understand human affairs, but they really don't dare to stop them. Right now, there's a big commotion outside, and even the villagers who don't go out much know that these people are unreasonable.
Seeing the stalemate, Chen Ruonan felt a surge of malice and shouted loudly,
"Jian Dan doesn't live in the educated youth compound. That house at the village entrance is hers. She lives over there. Go search over there."
Simple, his eyes filled with fierce intent, he turned and kicked her, then took two steps forward and pulled her up.
"What, you're reporting me? Where's the evidence?"
Didn't the leader say that one has no right to speak without investigation?
What about your survey?
"I understand. You think what the leader said isn't the truth, is that right?"
Chen Ruo's voice was hoarse and desperate.
"No, I didn't,"
This hat is even bigger; it's like it could kill someone with a hammer.
The teenagers who were about to turn around and walk out stopped in their tracks. The leader of the group turned back to glare at his underlings. Damn it, why didn't they say earlier that this guy was quick-witted? They'd already said what to say, so how were they supposed to rush in?
They were all young children, and few dared to rebel so directly. They had never encountered anyone who could reason with them before, so they were genuinely stunned for a while.
Although they weren't well-educated, they were far more familiar with these clichés than others. In the past, they used these clichés to intimidate people when they visited their homes, but this was the first time someone had used them to confront them.
Of course, he was unconvinced; that was for sure. Rebellious and concerned with his pride, he immediately turned and walked back.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are conducting a search based on the tip-off letter. This is a fact-based process. I think you are just disobeying the organization's arrangements and trying to evade the search."
He simply tossed the person aside, his gaze sweeping over the military green figures outside the courtyard, including Lin Dongfang, before turning to the young man leading the group.
"If you want to search, fine, I'll cooperate."
However, I also have a request,”
"Don't go too far. We're here to search your house. Don't push your luck."
"If you lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Several male educated youths blocked the gate, while female educated youths and villagers surrounded them. Jian Dan was accompanied by three children, an old lady, Tan Yajun, and Bai Xiaoqin. Wasn't this a standoff?
"I didn't say I couldn't search. Since it's your job, I'll definitely cooperate. But I'm a girl, and it's not appropriate for a group of you to go in. If a group of you men go in and search the whole place, I might as well find a rope and hang myself."
"If you want to search, you two, and two aunties from our village, are welcome. Also, I should find someone to testify, just in case anyone says you're not doing your job properly, or that you're domineering and tyrannical."
"What if we disagree?"
He glanced briefly at Chen Ruonan by the wall.
"We're going to the police station anyway, so it's just a bit of a hassle. We'll go there as soon as it gets dark. I'm sure the police station can handle the complaint letter."
Judging from this situation, it's clear that I'm not going to get anything good out of this day.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
As soon as the door opened, a row of green military uniforms came right in front of them, and the teenagers immediately became spineless.
Cheng Chao didn't even glance at them, striding into the courtyard.
"Someone just reported to the police that they discovered something. What exactly happened?"
Cheng Chao was dressed in a dignified and upright manner, and did not pay any special attention to Jian Dan, adopting a businesslike attitude.
Old Han, who had been following along the whole time, quickly brought over the things. His legs were still trembling. In this peaceful era, who in any good family has ever seen this kind of thing before?
"Comrade, comrade, this was found in Chen's room,"
After handing over the cloth bag, books, and letters, Old Han wiped the sweat from his brow, let out a long sigh of relief, and then recounted what had happened.
Although Cheng Chao already knew the general situation, upon hearing this, he felt a chill emanating from his body, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Boss, it's the radio station."
Cheng Chao turned around abruptly, his dark eyes instantly filled with rage. He thought it was just jealousy between young girls, a quick squabble, but it turned out this person was aiming to kill him.
If it weren't for the timely discovery and notification, my sister would really be in a difficult situation right now.
That's absolutely vicious!
He turned and walked outside, looking at the boy who was leading the way.
"Weren't you going to search us? Let's go, I'll be the witness."
The boy's legs went weak. Oh my god, who has he messed with?
Sometimes this kind of oppression is innate, just like how they treat ordinary people with the attitude of "heaven is the first, earth is the second, and I am the third."
The sheer discipline and awe-inspiring presence of the troops, coupled with the deep respect the people held for the military, and the overwhelming aura of battle veterans, made it impossible to look them in the eye. The fear, trepidation, and trembling they felt were visceral.
"No, no, no, big brother, we were wrong. It was that woman who sent the report. She even said that we could take whatever good stuff was in the house, and that we could arrest her and do whatever we wanted with her."
She... she even gave us two hundred yuan. It's all here, right here, brother. We were wrong, we'll never do it again, sob sob..."
Cheng Chao, expressionless, like a demon returned from hell, spoke coldly.
"Go search. Your mission is to be completed."
"No, no, no, Uncle PLA, we were wrong, we were wrong, we will never dare to do it again, please forgive us?"
The leader begged for mercy incoherently, while his underlings were too frightened to utter a sound, trembling with fear.
"Waaah, big brother, we want to go home..."
