Chapter 424: Chen Gui Lost His Mind

~8 min read 1,429 words

Wu An's expression was a bit odd: "You all released the people together?"

Why were Lin Hu and Chen Gui arrested.

The uproar got so big, wasn't it because Lin Hu was holding a kitchen knife watching Lin Bin and Chen Gui.

Oh.

Lin Bin isn't here.

He is still in the hospital.

Lao Dongxi Chen Gui was quite ruthless, beating Lin Hu badly; the concussion was severe, and he was said to need to stay in a Courtyard for a while. In principle, Chen Gui's actions already constitute excessive defense.

But the higher-ups' intention is still to prioritize mediation, with education as a supplement.

Yu Kai Lang said: "Huh, releasing the front and back legs, does that mean the two won't have to meet?"

"If they still resort to violence, then arrest them."

"Lock them up for a few more days."

Wu An nodded: "Indeed, just arrest them on the spot."

No one came to pick up Lin Hu.

Chen Gui has one, his son Chen Lin, who is the same age as Wu Ping. In earlier years he got into university, which was rare in the Village, and later settled in the Market, becoming a well-known "elite talent" of the Village.

He looked today.

Sure enough.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, his feet in leather shoes.

Lin Hu stepped out, bewildered and at a loss, looking as if his soul had been lost; actually it was about the same. As for the Wen Feilv matter, even if he could accept it, Wen Feilv was unwilling and insisted on divorce.

When he gets home, he'll have to handle it.

He wishes he could stay at the Police Station a bit longer.

Wu An watched and shook his head outright.

Chen Gui walked toward Chen Lin.

Chen Lin wore a sour expression; Chen Gui's disgraceful act made even his son subject to gossip, and the house was even burned.

The uproar was so big, there's no need to return to the old home anymore.

Wu An saw Lin Hu's indifferent stare at Chen Gui, thought there'd be no more spectacle, greeted Yu Kai Lang, and headed toward the parking shed.

After only a couple of steps, he heard Chen Lin shout: "Return to the Village?"

"What Village are you talking about!"

"Do you still think it's not shameful enough?"

Chen Gui lowered his head, murmuring something, but he was a bit far away and the wind was strong, so Wu An couldn't hear clearly.

Chen Lin shouted again, his veins bulging, looking very agitated: "Fine, fine, you did... you did that thing, anyway you've lost all dignity, and you don't care about it, right!"

"If you want to go back, you go!"

Chen Gui said something else.

Chen Lin sneered: "You want me to send you back?"

"You have no shame, and I still want some!"

"I'm not returning to the Village."

Chen Gui turned and left.

Chen Lin, angry, cursed twice.

Wu An kept walking toward the parking shed, rode his vehicle out, saw Lin Hu still standing dumbfounded, and called out: "Lin Hu, not going back to the Village?"

Lin Hu looked at him and nodded.

Wu An waved: "Come, I'll take you."

Lin Hu hesitated briefly, then walked over.

Passing by Chen Gui, the wind made Chen Gui's hair, like a chicken coop on his head, sway.

Back to the Village.

Wu An escorted Lin Hu to his doorstep.

Lin Hu got out of the vehicle, asked him to wait a moment, and after a short while took out a plastic bag, saying: "Wu An, there's twenty thousand bucks inside."

Wu An replied: "Alright, I'll write you a receipt."

"That's all for our business."

Lin Hu looked up: "Really?"

Wu An, after writing the receipt, smiled and said: "Before, demanding that much was a lion's big mouth, but now I think it's unnecessary."

Lin Hu said: "Wu An, you're a good person."

Wu An: "…"

To be fair, even without going to sea, one can still earn daily income; that feeling is actually pretty good.

Feels great.

Returning home it was already mid-afternoon.

There was nothing much to do.

He closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, flopped onto the bed like Ge You, and fell asleep in no time.

Half-dazed, he heard some noise outside, took out his phone, and saw it was already past four in the afternoon.

He had slept for over an hour.

He stretched lazily.

He propped himself up and shouted: "Who's chattering outside?"

A Qing pushed the gate open and came in, shouting excitedly, "My brother, you finally woke up."

"While you were sleeping, Chen Gui caused another disturbance."

Wu An frowned: "He caused trouble?"

"What trouble?"

A Qing said with thievish eyes: "He went back to the village to investigate the USB drive."

Wu An got out of bed, not very surprised: "Let's go, we'll talk as we walk."

A Qing said: "Where to? The disturbance is over, they've already taken him to the hospital."

Wu An turned, hearing this, his motion to close the gate stalled, he muttered to himself, how could investigating a USB drive lead to trouble that sent someone to the hospital?

They arrived at the home gate.

It's still quite lively.

Duan Dajie was also there; whenever someone said something, she would definitely respond.

Even if no one responded to her words, it didn't matter; he could still keep talking to himself.

That mouth of hers just keeps going "pap pap pap pap" nonstop, and it hasn't stopped her from munching melon seeds all over the ground.

Wu An walked over, smiling and greeting everyone.

Seeing him come, Mei Yueqin finally walked out of the courtyard; she had previously kept making excuses about being busy and hadn't come out to join the fun.

"A An, what have you been up to?"

"I haven't seen you today, I always feel like something's missing."

"Chen Gui went to the Village Committee, looking for trouble with your dad……"

Everyone started shouting all at once.

Wu An squatted on a nearby stone and asked, "Duan Dajie, what trouble did Chen Gui cause with my dad? Tell me."

Hearing Wu An call her name, Duan Dajie walked over happily and squatted down beside him.

Duan Dajie is a snob.

She speaks ill of anyone she dislikes, gossiping specifically to jab at people's spines and windpipes.

She takes pleasure in mocking others.

Wu An used to receive that treatment.

Because she often came to their house to gossip, Mei Yueqin, angry, hadn't spared Wu An from her scoldings.

Duan Dajie would advise while adding fuel to the fire, advising and advising until the flames even scorched her eyebrows.

That mouth of hers is also quite a talent.

Now she naturally doesn't dare to gossip about Wu An anymore; that mouth of hers can't stay idle, so naturally she only talks about others.

Even if Wu An didn't bring it up, she would still want to say it, and now that Wu An actively asks, it's exactly what she likes.

She pondered how to say it.

Today Chen Gui came to cause trouble for Wu An's dad; she told it splendidly, and Wu An surely felt pleased inside.

With that pleasure, he might not hold a grudge about her previous gossiping and stirring up trouble.

No way.

Wu An is doing well.

As neighbors.

Getting along well as neighbors is never a bad thing.

Duan Dajie put the melon seeds in her pocket, stopped cracking them, cleared her throat, and said, "Don't worry, your dad is fine."

"Chen Gui wasn't released today, was he?"

"He returned to the village and went straight to the Village Committee, claiming he was framed."

"He opened his mouth and shouted, saying it was your dad who framed him!"

"At that time, there were quite a few people in the Village Committee, including two clerks who had come from the town."

Wu An raised his eyebrows.

Holy shit.

And there's this good thing?

It looks like the arrest incident stimulated Chen Gui greatly; he's already lost his wits.

Originally he was still worried that, even if Chen Gui had no shame, he might still run for village head, which would still be a trouble, big or small.

Furthermore, with Old Village Chief Shen helping, forcibly suppressing the influence, it's not certain that Father becoming village head will be as stable as Mount Tai.

But Chen Gui making such a fuss.

Even if the Heavenly King and his old father came, they couldn't help him.
