Wang Decai sneered inwardly. This is the end you deserve, the one who won't listen to reason.
He pulled out a fabricated confession from his pocket and handed it to Chen Feng.
"It seems you can't remember right now, but that's alright. As long as you sign and put your fingerprint on this, this matter will be over. You can return the money to me when you've cleared your head."
Chen Feng sneered disdainfully, "Wang Decai, Wang Decai, I really underestimated you. You are truly despicable, to come up with such an inhuman method to frame someone. You think you can force a confession? Dream on. I'm going to report you to the authorities and accuse you of slander."
“If you obediently sign and put your fingerprint on the document, you will naturally be taken to see the authorities. But now, don’t even think about it.”
"You want me to sign? You're dreaming! I'd rather die than let you succeed!"
"You son of a bitch, you're asking for it!" Wang Decai gritted his teeth in anger, raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face several times. "I'm asking you one more time, are you going to sign or not?"
"Draw your mother's asshole! You embezzled money to support your concubine, and you dare to falsely accuse me? I'm going to expose you, expose you for embezzling money..."
Chen Feng was beaten so badly that he had no strength left in his body and collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud. His voice was so soft that only Wang De could hear it.
"Bullshit!" Wang Decai was so frightened that he lost his mind. Afraid that Wu Shiren and the others would hear Chen Feng's words, he suddenly became murderous. He grabbed a wooden stick from the ground and smashed it down on Chen Feng's head.
With a muffled thud, Chen Feng collapsed to the ground.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
Wu Shiren shook his head and hurriedly reminded him, "Decai, go easy on him, don't kill him."
"Yeah, Brother Wang, you went too far! How could you hit him on the head!" Wang Qi said, walking over and kicking Chen Feng, who was lying motionless on the ground. "Hey! Wake up! Stop lying there pretending to be dead."
I called out to them for a long time, but there was no response.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qi panicked. He quickly bent down and checked Chen Feng's breathing with his hand, only to find that he was breathing very little and exhaling much. Terrified, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"He's dead, he's dead."
"What?! Dead?!" Although Wang Decai had murderous intent, he had never killed anyone before. Seeing that someone had actually died, he turned pale with fright, and the wooden stick in his hand clattered to the ground. He stammered,
"How, how could I die? I, I, I didn't, I did it on purpose."
Wu Shiren stared in horror, his body involuntarily retreating. "What...what should we do?"
The others were also terrified, their faces ashen, and they were at a loss for what to do.
"Now someone has died! What are we going to do?" Zhao Tian was sweating profusely, his voice trembling.
Wang Qi scrambled to his feet in terror, glaring fiercely at Wang Decai. "It's all your fault! We agreed to just teach Chen Feng a lesson, why did you have to kill him?!"
Upon hearing this, others also began to criticize him.
"You went too far! Even if he was spouting nonsense, you shouldn't have killed him!"
"Exactly! This is a matter of life and death! Isn't this deliberately trying to harm us? What are we going to do?"
"We're doomed. They caused all this trouble for no reason. Now look what's happened, they've killed someone. None of us can escape responsibility."
“Li Liu, what are you saying? The man was beaten to death by Wang Decai with a stick. What does that have to do with us?”
"Yes, yes, you're right. It has nothing to do with us egg hairs."
Seeing these people shirking responsibility and displaying their true colors as despicable friends,
They call each other brothers at the dinner table, but betray each other when it really matters.
What kind of idiots are these?!
Wang Decai gritted his teeth in anger and let out a cold laugh.
"Stop backing down, you bastards! You dare say you didn't lay a hand on me? Let me tell you, we're all in this together now, nobody can wash their hands of it."
The group was indignant and wanted to argue, but Wu Shiren stopped them, saying, "Alright, you're all brothers, so stop shirking your responsibilities."
"Shopkeeper, you're the pillar of our society! Now that someone has died, you'd better think of something to do!" Wang Qi stamped his feet anxiously.
Zhao Tian was also pulling out his hair, saying, "Boss, this is a human life. If the authorities really investigate, all of us will lose our heads."
Wu Shiren steadied himself and stepped forward to examine him closely. "Don't panic. He seems to still be breathing. He probably won't die anytime soon."
Wang Decai was taken aback. "Shopkeeper, what do you mean? Do you want to call a doctor for him? Don't bother. He's barely breathing and won't be long before he dies. If you ask me, let's just go all the way and wait until it gets dark, then carry him to the wilderness, dig a hole, and bury him."
Wu Shiren shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this idea is not good. There are too many people around here, and if someone with ulterior motives sees us, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
Besides, his sister is quite a formidable character. If she comes looking for him one day and finds he's missing, and then reports it to the authorities, the authorities might trace the clues back here. If they find even the slightest trace, none of us will escape.”
"Shopkeeper, that's easy. Just say he left a long time ago. As long as we keep our story straight, those peasants won't be hard to fool."
"No, no, this is not a safe approach. We must come up with a foolproof plan." Wu Shiren scratched his head and paced back and forth in frustration.
"I've got it!" Wang Decai had a flash of inspiration and came up with what he thought was a brilliant idea.
Wu Shih-jen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "De-cai, tell me quickly, what good idea have you come up with?"
"Shopkeeper, while this kid's still alive, quickly send someone to his house to inform him that we'll say..."
"Give me a break!" Wu Shiren interrupted Wang Decai before he could finish speaking. "Chen Feng is covered in injuries. If his family sees this, won't they report it to the authorities? You're just walking into a trap!"
Others also shook their heads in opposition.
"That's just asking for death. We might as well just throw it into the wilderness and feed it to wild dogs!"
“That’s right. If we really bring his family here, all of us will be taken to the county government. Going to a place like that will either kill us or leave us skinned alive. I don’t want to suffer like that.”
"Exactly! Wang Decai, what kind of terrible idea is this? It's practically an admission of guilt!"
"Yes, yes, I haven't lived enough yet, and I don't want to go to that godforsaken place to die."
"That's right, once we get there, we'll give them a good beating without thinking twice."
"This idea is bad; we absolutely cannot do it."
