Chapter 609
It was clear that upon hearing the three words "Sihetun," the eyes of these three men became noticeably shifty.
The middle-aged man with the side-parted hair feigned composure and said:
"Didn't Sihetun suffer a flood, and then everyone went missing?"
Er Ma Lei Zi let out a snort of laughter upon hearing this, then said with a ferocious expression:
"To hell with your flood! Are you trying to play your daddy for a fool? Damn it, the entire village was snatched away by you lot to do forced labor. You bastards are even worse than the Japanese devils."
By the end, Er Ma Lei Zi was roaring, his entire being once again appearing crazed. Under the glare of the lightbulb, his two eyeballs looked blood-red, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, seemingly ready to devour someone at any moment.
However, it was clear that Er Ma Lei Zi was not lying, but rather stating a fact.
So, upon hearing Er Ma Lei Zi's words, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others were completely stunned. Primarily, such a matter was simply shocking and outrageous, truly difficult to believe.
It was just that this matter was clearly a massive, invincible landmine. Once exposed, basically everyone involved would have to die, and it might even alarm the big shots of the entire Heilongjiang Province.
Therefore, who would dare to admit to such a thing? Even those who knew the inside story would likely bury it deep in their hearts, never daring to mention it for the rest of their lives.
Seeing these three men hear Er Ma Lei Zi's words, they waved their hands while urgently denying it:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. It's not like there wasn't an investigation afterward; they were all washed away by the flood."
Yet this explanation sounded so pale and weak, possessing absolutely no persuasive power.
The people had vanished, and it was an investigation conducted afterward; whether it was a real investigation or just going through the motions, one could well imagine.
Hearing these three men say this, Er Ma Lei Zi suddenly calmed down, let out a "humph," and said:
"You know in your hearts what really happened. By the way, you'd better pray that the kid from earlier has a stiff mouth; otherwise, if I dig anything out of him, I'm going to go crazy. Hahahaha."
After saying this, Er Ma Lei Zi downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp, stood up, and said to Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others: "You saw the situation with that kid earlier. Help me shoulder the burden of me grabbing him. As for the favor I owe you, let's call it even with the wine you owe me."
After speaking, without waiting for Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others to agree, Er Ma Lei Zi turned and left in a hurry.
It was obvious that he was anxious to deal with that kid and wanted to dig something out of his mouth.
Once Er Ma Lei Zi's figure had completely disappeared, He Liang suddenly realized: "Damn it, he didn't pay a single cent, and we still have to help him shoulder the blame for nothing!"
Wang Shuai rolled his eyes at He Liang and said irritably:
"What else can you do to him? Let's go, let's pull out too. Damn these days."
As Wang Shuai spoke, he stood up, and the other four followed suit.
Just as they left the table, Wang Shuai suddenly remembered something, turned back, picked up two plates of food from the table, and then continued walking outside.
After taking two steps, Wang Shuai looked at Wu Dong, Zhang Shuya, and the other four who were empty-handed, and said to them with great dissatisfaction: "What are you all staring at? Carry the food! Don't you know those five haven't eaten yet?"
The group was stunned by Wang Shuai's actions, and only upon hearing his words did they react, answering one after another before turning back toward the table.
However, there were only six dishes on the whole table, so when it came to Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian, there was nothing left for them to carry.
Then, Zhang Shuya scanned the table, picked up the steamer basket filled with steamed buns.
Sun Nian looked for a long time, but there was really nothing left on the table. Feeling it wouldn't be good to go back empty-handed, she picked up the remaining half-bottle of wine. Turning to leave, Sun Nian looked at her empty left hand, thought for a moment, turned back, and quickly grabbed the half-box of cigarettes in front of the three men, only then turning to chase after Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others.
To be honest, all of this takes a long time to describe, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed by the time Sun Nian took the cigarettes.
Thus, the behavior of Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others truly left those three men dumbfounded.
Perhaps these three men had never seen such impolite second-generation youths in all their years.
There were still people at the table, and they just damn well took the food away. What kind of lack of upbringing was this? Fortunately, at this moment, the three men were in a state of deep worry and panic.
Therefore, although the behavior of Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others made them very dissatisfied, they didn't pay much attention to it.
After exchanging glances, the oldest man said to the other two:
"Let's go too, we'll talk when we get back."
The other two agreed one after another, and the three of them stood up together and walked out of the cafeteria.
When the three of them reached the outside, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others had already left by car.
However, this time it was the driver driving, because the driver had long since walked back from that house near the street.
But when the driver drove, he was extremely cautious, not even daring to press the accelerator hard, just moving along slowly. The speed of the car was not much faster than a person walking.
The reason for this was that inside the car at this moment, except for the driver and Sun Nian, everyone's hands were occupied, either carrying dishes or rice.
To be honest, the behavior of Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others carrying dishes and rice not only left those three men dumbfounded, but when Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others exited the cafeteria gate, the driver, who was smoking, was also stunned, the cigarette in his mouth almost falling to the ground.
Of course, as the driver for the Lingdao group, his mouth was very tight, and he would absolutely not talk nonsense.
Just like that, the group squeezed into the car and swayed their way back to the guesthouse.
Passing the place where Wang Shuai and Ma Guoqiang had thrown their lunch boxes, Wang Shuai specifically took a look, but so much time had passed that those lunch boxes had long since been taken away by someone.
Wang Shuai muttered: "Waited damn near an hour for that food, and it's all gone. Damn it, this is really frustrating!"
After Wang Shuai finished speaking, Zhang Shuya said:
"Yeah, not only is the food gone, but the lunch boxes are all gone too."
Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said:
"I was wondering why you were carrying both dishes and rice. So the food was gone after all. I have to say, you were quite farsighted."
Wang Shuai heard this and said very proudly:
"That's a must. At this hour, the restaurants are all closed. Where else would I get them food?"
When Wang Shuai, Wu Dong, and the others returned to the guesthouse, Wang An, Feng Chengmin, and the others were gnawing on dry pancakes, while the unlucky duo, Mu Xueli and Wang Li, were staring blankly at the pancakes soaked in boiling water in their bowls.
