Wait until he gets back, then we'll see how he deals with that bitch.
Lin Qingqing was also incredulous. How could this be! Why didn't she bring it up sooner? Why did she have to wait until now? Why!
"She has a medical license? Why didn't she say so? If it were me, I would definitely make sure everyone knows."
"I think she did it on purpose so that she could take down anyone who doesn't get along with her in one fell swoop. Tsk tsk, what a cunning scheme."
"It's nothing! Maybe she just doesn't want to talk about it. Besides, no one has asked her. Is it necessary to think so badly of her?"
Wang Erzhuang disagreed with their views, but Lin Qingqing firmly believed in them.
You bitch! It's all her fault!
When their eyes met, Zhou Dong's body trembled involuntarily. It took a great deal of self-control to stop himself from turning and running away. Instead, he looked at Zhou Dong with pleading eyes.
Zhou Dong sneered inwardly. What a fool! He was ambushed and didn't even realize it.
He knew, of course, what Lin Qingqing was praying for, and he would grant her wish. It wasn't out of genuine affection, but simply because placing Lin Qingqing in Xiaowang Village would make it easier for him to get Gu An'an.
Of course, they won't let her off easily.
When he saw the medical practitioner's license, Zhou Hongbing remained as smooth-talking as ever.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It seems that Gu Zhiqing is truly a pillar of the nation. I am very happy that our commune has someone like you."
"Misunderstanding? This person just tried to drag me to the commune; everyone saw it."
Gu An'an showed Zhou Hongbing no mercy whatsoever. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself; even a three-year-old understands this principle.
"Exactly! Gu Zhiqing is a virgin. Even if you want to take her to the commune, can't you talk to her properly? Why do you have to be so rude and violent?"
"Is this comrade also in your team? I remember he was just a hoodlum in the commune. Why is he qualified to come with you to verify things? And why is he so eager to take Gu Zhiqing away? What are you really up to?"
Wang Dashan, as the eldest son of the village chief, may be a bit simple-minded, but it depends on the situation. At such an important moment, his mind is exceptionally clear.
His words also reminded the onlookers.
"So he was a thug? No wonder I thought he looked so strange."
"Who exactly are you people? Explain yourself! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving our brigade!"
"Could they be enemy agents? Didn't the higher-ups say that anyone who undermines unity is a reactionary? They look exactly like those reactionaries."
Zhao Hu said this. Zhou Yue wanted to say something, but he stopped her. After all, those people were from the commune, and who knew what other tricks they might have up their sleeves? He couldn't let Zhou Yue, a girl, attract hatred and take risks.
He's got nothing special; he's good-looking, strong, and powerful—what's there to be afraid of?
Looking at the man standing in front of her, Zhou Yue felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
With Zhao Hu taking the lead, even more people stepped forward.
What a joke! If Gu Zhiqing gets into trouble here, her uncle won't even consider them for anything good. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents, don't you know that?
Seeing the villagers closing in on him step by step, Zhou Hongbing couldn't understand why Gu An'an had such abilities.
Even if she has some medical skills, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?
Despite not being able to figure it out, my mind was still racing, and I was ready to back down first.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's his fault. He just came along and maybe got a little excited, which caused them to misunderstand."
"Don't worry! With me here, I will absolutely not let this kid hurt Gu Zhiqing."
He spoke alone, but no one echoed him, which made him slightly embarrassed.
"Well, now that we've verified everything, we'll be going."
He wanted to leave, but the villagers wouldn't budge an inch.
"Why are you leaving? You've finished verifying everything and you're leaving? We still have questions to ask you."
"That's right. Since someone reported it, then you should reveal who reported it. Our village can't tolerate those with bad intentions."
“Harming Gu Zhiqing is harming all of our villagers. This kind of person cannot be allowed to live.”
Standing at the back of the crowd, listening to the condemnation of others, Lin Qingqing squeezed her fingers so hard they dug into her palms, instinctively wanting to escape.
"Lin Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?" Wang Erzhuang was the first to notice her unusual behavior.
"I'm not feeling well and I want to go back and rest."
She knew that if Zhou Dong wanted to implicate her, she would definitely not be able to escape.
Zhou Hongbing glanced at his younger brother, and seeing that he wasn't going to say anything, he could only deflect by saying, "It really was an anonymous report, and we didn't see anyone."
"Since we didn't see anyone, there should be some kind of letter, right?"
Zhou Hongbing was speechless, unable to speak to anyone, and of course, he couldn't even give a letter. Wasn't this a slap in his own face?
"Gu Zhiqing, please don't get agitated. We also have our job requirements. We need to protect the information and safety of whistleblowers, otherwise we won't be able to carry out our work in the future. We hope you understand."
Having said all that, Gu An'an had no intention of wasting any more time with them.
"Uncle, let them go! We can just check who went to the commune these past few days; we don't necessarily have to make them admit it."
Zhou Hongbing didn't care about Lin Qingqing's life or death. He led his men out of Xiaowang Village, and his face darkened as soon as he turned around.
"It seems the person you're talking about isn't so smart after all."
Zhou Dong pursed his lips and said, "Brothers, you guys go back first, I have something to do."
After saying that, he walked down another road, and it was obvious who he was going to see.
Zhou Dong didn't return to Xiaowang Village. Instead, he waited at the place the two had agreed upon. He waited for three whole hours but didn't see Lin Qingqing. In the end, he could only leave cursing.
Lin Qingqing remained in her dormitory at the educated youth compound, trembling with fear.
"Who do you think went to the commune to report this? I do dislike Gu An'an, but I never thought of going directly to the commune."
"It wasn't me, so was it you?"
At first, Qian Xiaojun regretted that he hadn't done it himself. If Gu An'an had fallen into his hands, he would have been ecstatic.
But now he felt only relief, while at the same time feeling schadenfreude towards the person who had done it.
"It wasn't me."
“I would never do such a thing.”
Wang Erzhuang was furious at whoever had resorted to such underhanded tactics. "If this was really done by someone from our educated youth compound, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the village chief led a group of people into the educated youth compound. The group exchanged glances and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Village chief, what do you need us for?"
Although they already had a guess in their hearts, everyone still chose to ask the question they already knew the answer to.
"We've come to find Lin Zhiqing, is she there?"
The group exchanged glances and realized that Lin Qingqing hadn't been with them or participated in their conversation. A thought popped into their heads.
"She, she seems to be in the room."
