Mei Yueqin frowned when she saw Lin Hu.
Lin Hu walked into the courtyard without saying hello, clearly indicating that he had ill intentions.
She looked at Wu An.
Wu An smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I need to talk to Lin Hu about something."
"Put all this food and drink inside."
"fine."
Mei Yueqin nodded, carrying large and small bags into the main room, and then looked worriedly into the courtyard while tidying up.
Wu An walked to the shed next door, pulled up a chair, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "You came pretty quickly."
Lin Hu looked annoyed. He hadn't even invited him to sit down when he called him over. If he weren't feeling guilty, he would have already lost his temper. He patiently said, "Let's be frank."
"You said I put white sugar into your fishing boat's engine."
"Is there any evidence?"
“I have solid evidence, but I don’t intend to hand it over to the police.” Wu An paused, then continued, “I thought we were from the same village, so I wanted to talk to you first.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu suddenly laughed and said, "Wu An, don't try to be mysterious with me."
I know you doubt me.
"I don't care. You can doubt me all you want. Just pretend I did it. It's not like I'm going to lose anything, hahaha."
He laughed, one corner of his mouth turned up, his smile full of mockery.
Wu An took a sip of tea and said, "Lin Hu, if you say that, then we have nothing to talk about."
"Ha!" Lin Hu pulled up a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and said, "Okay, then I'll sit down with you and we can chat."
"I'm thirsty, get me a glass of water."
"Is this request reasonable?"
He looked at Wu An with an air of smug confidence.
Wu An shook his head and said, "Since that's how you feel, then let's not talk anymore."
"Watch the video first."
"Don't think about smashing your phone or deleting the video after watching it."
Lin Hu took the phone with some skepticism. After seeing the video, his pupils suddenly contracted and dilated, and his heart skipped a beat.
The video is short and you can watch it quickly.
He took a deep breath and said, "Wu An, this video doesn't prove that I did it."
"I can only say that I was there."
"To be honest, this thing is completely useless."
After saying that.
He smiled, trying to appear calm, but his subconscious gesture of wiping away sweat betrayed his true feelings.
Wu An put down his teacup and said, "Lin Hu, whether the video is useful or not is a matter for the police and judges to consider."
Are you sure you want me to hand the video over to the police?
"Shall we settle this privately?"
Lin Hu's eyes flickered.
Wu An has already revealed his hand, and now he holds the initiative.
Wu An continued, "The engine is completely damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. The whole process will probably cost ten or twenty thousand yuan."
"Once convicted, he will definitely go to jail."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu knew he had no real choice, and gritted his teeth as he asked, "Then what do you want?"
Wu An said calmly, "I want you to apologize."
Lin Hu pressed further, "And then?"
Wu An shook his head: "That's enough. As long as you apologize, I can let it go."
Lin Hu: "What about the engine?"
Wu An said calmly, "I just want you to apologize."
The fishing boat belongs to Guang Liangjun; whether or not he has to compensate for the engine is none of his business.
Lin Hu's eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons.
In his eyes, Wu An was the aggrieved party, and as long as the aggrieved party didn't pursue the matter, everything would be fine.
Little did he know that the victim in front of him was an imposter.
The main reason is that Wu An has videos and has already got him under control.
What can he do?
It would be better to sue Wu An to the death than to fight him to the death. It would be better to apologize. After all, he won't lose anything. As long as we keep a low profile, we might be able to keep it a secret from the villagers.
He was still calculating his options, but asked again, unsure if he was sure, "You don't want me to compensate you?"
Wu An shook his head.
Lin Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I apologize."
Wu An said, "It's not enough to just apologize like that. You have to go to the village committee. Besides apologizing, you also have to write a guarantee."
"Okay, I'll write it. Let's go then." Lin Hu nodded, but inwardly he scoffed. This so-called guarantee was just something to fool idiots. Only Wu An would take it seriously.
Next time he does something bad, he will be extra careful and will definitely not be caught on video again.
Wu An picked up the teapot: "What's the rush? I just got home and I'm a little thirsty."
Lin Hu, fearing that Wu An might change his mind, snatched the teapot and poured a cup of tea for him with a big smile.
Wu An picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "Lin Hu, I still prefer your unruly attitude from earlier."
He knew that Lin Hu was only pretending to back down.
But it's okay.
He made Lin Hu back down, but that was just to vent his anger. This real show was only just beginning.
Lin Hu gave an awkward laugh, inwardly cursing Wu An to the core, and thinking that once this matter was over, he would not let it go.
The two went straight to the village committee.
The old village chief, Wu Yingwei, Chen Gui, and the others were quite surprised to see the two arrive.
Wu An said, "Lin Hu, you tell us."
Lin Hu took a deep breath and, under everyone's gaze, said, "Two days ago, I was bewitched and stuffed sugar into the engine of Wu An's fishing boat."
"I formally apologize to him today."
"I hope everyone will bear witness."
The old village chief and Chen Gui were even more surprised, but Wu Yingwei was the most surprised. As far as he knew, Wu An had not been able to buy the fishing boat, so what kind of apology was this?
You've got the wrong person.
Not many people know about this; he hasn't told anyone.
Wu Yingwei glanced at his smiling second son, and although he was full of doubts, he didn't say anything.
Chen Gui reacted quickly, looking at Wu An suspiciously. Although he was not clear about the situation, his first reaction was that there was something wrong here.
Wu An was not the kind of saintly gentleman who repays evil with kindness.
Old Village Chief Shen put down his teacup and said with a smile, "You've really reached an agreement?"
Lin Hu nodded.
Everyone looked at Wu An.
It was as if they were saying, "Wu An, if you've been kidnapped, just blink."
Wu An nodded: "Yes."
"He apologized to me and wrote a guarantee, and that was the end of it."
Seeing Wu An's kindness, everyone praised him, saying that he repaid kindness with kindness, was magnanimous, and did a good job, worthy of being Yingwei's son.
Wu Yingwei looked puzzled. He felt sorry for Wu An. "You're still pretending. The fishing boat isn't even yours. You can't pursue the matter even if you want to."
Wu An repeatedly said that everyone was too kind and that he did not deserve such praise.
Wu Yingwei nodded slightly. Yes, the second son still has some sense of shame, but not much.
Chen Gui inquired carefully and learned that Wu An had bought a fishing boat and had made a considerable harvest on two separate voyages. Out of jealousy, Lin Hu stuffed white sugar into the engine.
Wu An found the video, but instead of calling the police, he planned to settle the matter privately.
That's the situation. There's nothing fishy about it. Chen Gui stopped thinking about it and started saying nice things, but he didn't really care. He used to think of Wu An as an opponent, but now he realized that the kid was too naive and kind.
As expected of Wu Yingwei's son, he's easy to deal with.
After praising Wu An, Village Chief Shen also sternly reprimanded Lin Hu, and the others joined in the criticism. Lin Hu repeatedly said that he was wrong and would never dare to do it again.
As for such nonsense, he himself didn't believe it, and Chen Gui sneered along with him.
Old Village Chief Shen coughed twice and said, "Alright, the guarantee..."
Wu An took out a piece of paper and said, "I have already written it down in advance. It is the course of events. Lin Hu, take a look. If there are no problems, just read it and sign it."
Lin Hu took it, looked it over, and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll sign."
I read it once and found there were no discrepancies whatsoever.
Sign your name.
He was quite anxious, fearing that something might go wrong.
He said to Wu An, "Wu An, I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize."
"sorry."
"Thank you for not pursuing the matter."
Wu An put away the guarantee and smiled, "Okay, I accept your apology."
At the same time, he added in his mind, "I'm only forgiving you for messing with me out of jealousy. As for whether to pursue it or not, that's Guang Liangjun's business."
Old Village Chief Shen chimed in, "Alright, let's make this a minor issue and minimize its impact."
"After all, this is not a respectable matter, and they are all from the same village. It would be neither pleasant nor good to hear it if it got out."
Everyone understands what I mean, right?
Lin Hu's face lit up with joy.
Wu An frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.
"I'll listen to the village chief," Chen Gui quickly said, then looked at Wu An and said sarcastically, "It seems that An has really struck it rich recently. Replacing the fishing boat engine would cost at least ten or twenty thousand, but he's not even willing to spend that much money."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Wu An laughed and said, "Uncle Gui, you've misunderstood."
"It's not that I'm magnanimous, but I have no right to demand compensation from Lin Hu."
Upon hearing this...
Everyone was stunned.
What does this mean?
