Chapter 82: If They Are Unhappy, Then I Am Comfortable

At this moment, the eldest brother, Chen Weidong, had grasped the key point: "You say he was caught in the middle of the night?"

The young Wang who had followed nodded and said, "Yes."

Anger filled Chen Weidong's eyes as he turned to look at his own grandfather and father: "Then it makes sense. He must have left the door open when he went out late at night, letting someone slip in, which is why the house was robbed."

This argument could not be refuted; even Elder Chen felt this was possible. Otherwise, how could a thief have easily entered their courtyard with such high walls?

It was just that the thief was likely not alone; otherwise, the place would not have been stripped so completely.

Upon hearing her eldest son's words, Yan Qingshuang flashed displeasure across her face: "What nonsense are you spouting? That is your own younger brother."

Thinking that if the stolen items could not be recovered, their family's future life would be extremely difficult, and that his two daughters would likely face hard times as well, Chen Weidong grew furious: "What kind of time is this, and you still want to protect him?"

Chen Jiefang, no longer concerned with the theft, followed those people away immediately after the Revolutionary Committee personnel verified the situation.

After all, if this matter was not resolved well, it would not just be a matter of losing face; he might even lose his job.

Seeing Liu Chuxue also wanted to watch the scumbag's misery, so she followed them as well.

Stopping not far from the Revolutionary Committee, she released her spiritual sense to probe inside and saw Chen Weiping sitting there with his head in his hands, utterly dejected, in one of the rooms.

Heh, what did she see? Hu Liru, locked up in the next room, was in an even worse state than him.

At this moment, Hu Liru was being slapped by another woman locked up with her, while that woman cursed: "I hate your kind of cheap hussy the most. You do nothing but scheme day after day, and you even tried to harm me. Do you think you've been given too much face?"

It seemed this woman was still not honest even here; she was playing the innocent white lotus act. Once exposed, getting beaten was what she deserved.

Good enough. If they are unhappy, then I am comfortable. The main business is nearly done. As for the aftermath of this matter, one can guess the general outcome without asking; there is no need to wait here.

After all, she still had to rush back to the public bus stop outside the commune to wait for Kong Yizhang and the others. Since she was just hitching a ride, she could not make them wait for her.

She feared that if they could not find her and went looking in the village instead, that would be a huge trouble.

She had originally wanted to catch a ride on an ox cart or something along the way, but feared she might run into an acquaintance if she was unlucky, so walking on her own legs was better.

Fortunately, her pace was not slow. She avoided people whenever she met them along the way, rushing hard to arrive at the spot right on time.

She found a concealed spot where she could see the direction of incoming vehicles, sat down, took out a large meat bun, and began to eat. Having walked for so long, she was already very hungry.

After finishing the bun and seeing the vehicle had not yet arrived, she took a new towel from the pile of items she had collected, used her willpower to wet it in fresh water, and tidied herself up.

This was not like the future era; the county highway had no asphalt roads, only dirt roads.

Occasionally, when a car or tractor passed by, it would kick up dust. Although she was not covered in grime from head to toe after walking this entire way, she was far from clean, and she did not want to be despised by others.

Just as she finished tidying herself up, she saw the vehicle from yesterday rushing towards her from a distance.

Stepping out from her hiding place, the car soon arrived close by. Kong Yizhang smiled and rolled down the window: "How long have you been waiting?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and said, "I came at the time you told me. I haven't waited long."

Kong Yizhang pointed to the back: "Get in."

After the car started moving, the female public security officer sitting in the back said with a worried expression: "Chief, Xiao Zhang was taken to Haishi City by the bureau chief. The few translators currently in the bureau are likely unable to handle the task; we probably need to request external assistance again."
