Even if I drugged them, there aren't any men around. How could anything possibly happen? Do you think I'm that stupid?
Wang Lan was certain that Zhu Pandi couldn't produce any evidence, and she was also glad that she didn't entrust all her tasks to her, which gave her some room to exonerate herself.
Wang Lan's shout caused another stir among the onlookers.
"That's true. Isn't this medicine used to ruin someone's reputation? But to ruin someone's reputation, medicine alone isn't enough. There aren't any men living over there with Zhu Zhiqing, are there?"
"Could it be that Zhu Pandi is just talking nonsense? What's his motive? And was the drug actually given to Zhu Zhiqing?"
"Yes, so could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Hmm, I don't think so. Some of the people in this educated youth settlement are really scoundrels. Let's wait and see!"
Listening to the crickets chirping around him, Zhu Pandi felt that the topic had shifted back to her, and it seemed to be somewhat unfavorable to her.
So she started racking her brains, wondering if she had missed any details that could have led to Wang Lan's downfall.
The surrounding discussion grew more and more intense, and she became increasingly anxious, breaking out in a light sweat and even smelling a strong odor emanating from her body.
"What? You can't come up with anything to say now, Zhu Pandi? You're slandering me! I'm going to report you for not uniting with our revolutionary comrades!"
Seeing that Zhu Pandi hadn't said a word for a long time, Wang Lan couldn't help but start to feel smug.
Hmph, that little bitch, she can't even keep a secret. Luckily I didn't let her know, or it would have been really dangerous.
However, the next second, Zhu Pandi exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah, I remember now, Er Laizi!"
Zhu Pandi looked at Wang Fulin and the village women with a happy expression, as if she were announcing some good news.
"Captain, I remember now. Wang Lan went to find Er Laizi yesterday, and even went to hide at the edge of the woods to look for him."
I glanced at it, but didn't think much of it. I assumed he had some other business with Erlaizi. Who knows... Maybe the brigade leader should send someone to fetch Erlaizi and ask him?"
Her words were cleverly worded; she didn't say it directly, but it made everyone think in that direction.
The main problem is that this scoundrel was a lecherous man who had harassed others many times and ended up getting beaten up. He still has a limp.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fulin immediately sent someone to fetch Erlaizi, even though he was already pretty sure it was true.
Erlaizi wasn't really a villager; he lived on the border between his village and another village. Neither side liked him, but he just kept going back and forth between them.
Zhao Zhiyi led a group to call Erlaizi, but soon after they left, they saw him walking towards the educated youth settlement from the direction of Zhu Qinghao's courtyard.
After confirming that it was Er Laizi, they exchanged a glance, detained him without saying a word, and sent him directly to Wang Fulin.
"Captain, when we went to find him, we happened to run into him walking towards us from the direction of Zhu Ziqing's courtyard."
From the moment Wang Lan first heard Zhu Pandi mention Er Laizi, she sensed something was wrong; she never expected that this person would deliver himself to her doorstep.
At this point, she had done her best to minimize her presence, thinking that by keeping her head down she wouldn't be noticed by Erlaizi, and that he wouldn't bite her out.
In fact, she really overestimated this scoundrel.
From the moment he was arrested, Erlaizi realized he had been exposed, and upon seeing Wang Fulin, he immediately confessed:
"Captain Wang, please don't beat me this time. I didn't do anything wrong. A female educated youth gave me a steamed bun and told me to wait there..."
