Village Committee.
Wu Yingwei rushed back in a hurry and was somewhat surprised to see the house already tidied up. He took the teacup that Wu An handed him and asked, "Where is everyone?"
Wu An asked his father to sit down.
He recounted the whole story, absolving himself of any involvement, and only saying that Lin Hu discovered Lin Bin had cheated on him, and that he had grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to kill Lin Bin.
Lin Bin fled all the way and finally ran to the village committee.
Wu Yingwei nodded: "That's right. With Chen Gui here, he might be able to stop Chen Hu."
"But I heard..."
Wu An suppressed a laugh and said, "Chen Gui seems to be one of the participants as well."
Wu Yingwei's eyes widened.
I quickly drank some water to calm my nerves.
"Really?"
"Judging from the way Lin Hu and Lin Bin are acting, it's pretty much a done deal."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Wu Yingwei put down his teacup, got up, and walked out.
He didn't come back to listen to gossip; he came to prevent things from getting worse.
I was just about to leave.
Ah Qing ran over, shouting anxiously and excitedly, "Brother, something's happened again! Something's happened again!"
Wu Yingwei asked, "What happened?"
Aqing was startled by Wu Yingwei and quickly suppressed her gloating expression, saying, "The Lin family... the Lin family went to Chen Gui's house and ransacked it. The Chen family wouldn't allow it, and as a result, the two groups started fighting in Chen Gui's yard."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingwei turned and ran.
Wu An frowned and asked, "Why?"
Ah Qing whispered, "It seems like they're looking for some kind of video..."
Wu An suddenly realized.
That's alright then.
It was him who did it.
However, he didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant move would actually have an effect.
He hurried over as well.
In the midst of a chaotic battle between two groups, it wouldn't be surprising if someone accidentally killed someone. At the crucial moment, he had to stop his father and prevent him from charging forward recklessly.
Ah Qing ran after her and asked, "Brother, are we going out to sea again today?"
Wu An said, "Let's go to sea."
"Let's set off after lunch."
"We'll stay at sea for one night and go back tomorrow."
He checked the status of the fish traps through the system in the morning. His luck points had been depleted. Without luck points, throwing fish traps into the sea would be a complete waste. He needed to collect them as soon as possible before setting them again.
Furthermore, with a luck value of 333 today, I definitely need to go out to sea; it would be such a waste to squander it.
We arrived at Chen Gui's house.
Good heavens, thick smoke is billowing out!
Wu An was startled. How could they have set someone's house on fire? How would Chen Gui sleep when he came back? He'd probably have no choice but to go to his son's house.
There are advantages to the house being on fire: people stop fighting and start running outside.
People are fleeing.
Wu An was watching when he saw his father carrying someone out. Upon seeing Wu An, the father shouted, "Call the police! Call 120! Quick!"
Wu An quickly grabbed his phone.
Seeing his father about to run back inside, he shouted, "Dad, why are you going back?"
Wu Yingwei shouted, "There are still people inside!"
Upon hearing this, Wu An unlocked his phone and threw it to A Qing, then ran inside as well. There was a person lying on the ground, and Wu An told Wu Yingwei to get the person out.
He ran into the house!
Because he saw Lin Hu, who was holding a torch, and it was this guy who started the fire!
Chen Gui's house was still the old house, with wooden beams, and the fire was already raging fiercely without anyone putting it out.
Enter the house.
Wu An pulled Lin Hu away.
Lin Hu struggled.
Wu An is no longer the same Wu An he used to be; he has really trained his strength a lot during this time, while Lin Hu is now just holding on by sheer willpower and has no real strength at all.
"Clang!"
Wu An and Lin Hu had just stepped out of the house when something burning fell down.
Lin Hu was startled by the noise!
Wu An collapsed to the ground.
I'm a little exhausted.
Lin Hu was both crying and laughing.
Wu Yingwei made the Chen and Lin families stand separately, and arranged for militiamen to watch over them. After inquiring about the situation, he couldn't help but loudly reprimand them.
Wu Yingwei is of a high generation; apart from a few older men, everyone else is either a junior or a peer.
Now that everyone has calmed down, they are all a little scared.
Hearing Wu Yingwei's reprimand, everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke back.
Wu An lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Wu Yingwei sighed and said, "The Lin family came to the Chen family looking for the USB drive, and they happened to run into a few bastards from the Chen family watching... watching a video."
"Lin Hu was provoked and went up to beat him up."
"After beating him up, they ransacked his house, as if they were afraid that Chen Gui had hidden other USB drives."
"When the Chen family arrived and saw the situation, they were also unhappy."
"The two groups started arguing and then started fighting, and then Lin Hu set fire."
Wu An thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen to Lin Hu?"
Wu Yingwei looked at the burning house, shook his head, and said nothing.
The house burned down.
Fortunately, no one was hurt. At worst, it's probably just a concussion. It depends on how the authorities decide to handle it; it could be a big deal or a small one.
This time, it wasn't Yu Kailang and Liu Long who came.
After inquiring about the situation, Lin Hu and the others were all taken away. Under Wu Yingwei's command, the fire in Chen Gui's house was extinguished, but the house was already burned beyond habitation.
Just as the police car left, people from Wen Feilu's family arrived and took Wen Feilu away.
Most of the villagers were scattered, and those who were really idle gathered at the entrance of Lao Jiang's shop to chat.
The matter has come to an end.
Wu An went home, washed up and changed his clothes, greeted Sister Duan and the others at the door, and then hurried to the dock.
Old Fu and Mei Wu were already on the boat, ready to go. Once Wu An and A Qing boarded, the fishing boat started and slowly sailed out to sea.
Old Fu is still the one steering the boat.
Mei Wu was very happy to learn that Ma Weiqun and others had been arrested, and said, "So, he called the police while crying wolf, which actually got him into trouble."
Wu An said, "According to Yu Kailang, his behavior was very bad and would warrant a heavier sentence."
Mei Wu clapped his hands and cheered: "This is truly gratifying! This is truly gratifying!"
"I don't know if all the losses can be made up."
"And that man from your village..."
Ah Qing chuckled and said, "Lin Bin being arrested is the least of his worries. You have no idea what my brother is like..."
Wu An coughed and said, "Aqing and I are so late today because something happened in the village."
Mei Wu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Wu An explained the situation, and then A Qing took over, embellishing the story with exaggerated details. She spoke with great enthusiasm, even gesturing wildly.
Mei Wuguang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he listened to the gossip: "This Lin Bin from your village is quite the expert."
"Now, not only have they been arrested, but their reputations have been ruined."
"Ah An, did you do this?"
Wu Anyi said righteously, "What does this have to do with me? Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation."
Ah Qing also shouted, "Brother Ah Wu, you can't just say things like that."
Mei Wu had only mentioned it casually, but judging from the two men's reactions, he knew that the matter was indeed related to these two. He gave them a thumbs up and laughed, "Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense."
Old Fu, steer the boat, laughed along.
He wasn't surprised at all.
He knew Wu An was clever from the time he plotted against the Chen family.
Seeing that Aqing was still talking about this, he quickly asked loudly, "Aan, what's the agenda today?"
Are we still staying on Survival Island?
Wu An said, "No, let's go collect the traps directly."
"Anyway, we're going to spend the night at sea."
"After collecting the fish traps, we can go further and then use longline fishing and gillnets."
