Chapter 425: with translation of chapter title

Wu An feigned ignorance, acting very surprised and asked: "Then what, he said my dad framed him?"

A Qing wanted to speak.

He also went to see the commotion, knowing the whole story.

Before he could speak, Wu An kicked him and ordered him to go inside to fetch a water cup.

A Qing muttered as he got up.

Wu An also couldn't be bothered to explain to this brat; with so many people around, gossiping publicly is never good.

Chen Gui got into trouble, but there are still many Chens in the village.

What is A Qing?

A junior gossiping about elders.

Reason or not, it's pointless.

Duan Dajie is different; she's someone who can stir up trouble even without cause, and no one would willingly provoke her.

Wu An also worried that if A Qing blurted out something he shouldn't, it would be digging his own grave.

Duan Dajie spoke up.

"Chen Gui? The U‑disk storing the video wasn't prepared by him."

"It was your dad who secretly filmed it, framing him."

"Saying your dad's methods are too dirty."

After saying that, Duan Dajie slapped her thigh in indignation; if Chen Gui stood before her, she would surely jump up and point at his nose to curse him.

"You say this isn't just nonsense, right?"

"Chen Gui is crazy too, actually managing to splash dirty water onto Wu Yingwei."

"Old dog bites people at random."

Others also started chiming in.

Anyway, it was noisy; nobody could hear clearly who said what.

"? Then you guess what happened?"

"How did it turn out?"

The two town clerks, eating their melons, didn't understand; they hurriedly asked, lowering their heads to ask Old Village Chief Shen what was going on.

Old Village Chief Shen didn't say anything, and even had the two clerks leave first.

Those two clerks aren't old either; seeing how exciting the situation was, they weren't about to leave.

There were still others in the village committee, who gave the town clerks a brief rundown of the situation.

After understanding the cause and effect, the two clerks lamented that Xixi Village is small but the situation is still quite chaotic.

You didn't see Old Village Chief Shen's face then; it was really ugly.

This isn't over yet.

Chen Gui also grabbed the two clerks, asking them to uphold justice for him, saying… saying your dad used this dirty trick to run for village head.

The two clerks were even more shocked, wondering if it was really two officials who caused this scandal.

The two stared straight at Old Village Chief Shen, demanding an explanation and saying they wanted to report this upward.

Old Village Chief Shen was so angry his whole body trembled; gripping his cane, he wished he could beat Chen Gui to death.

After Duan Dajie finished speaking, she hehe‑laughed; Wu An's face looked a bit odd; strictly speaking, Chen Gui's accusation was correct.

Indeed, it was for the village head position.

But it wasn't his father.

But it was him who did it.

Actually.

Knowing the U‑disk was indeed a bug.

Others may not be clear, but Chen Gui surely knows he was framed.

He will surely seek the one who slandered him.

But saying it was Wu Yingwei?

Probably few people in the whole village would believe that.

People's prejudices are a great mountain.

Chen Gui's reputation was already bad; everyone had preconceptions, who would believe his nonsense, and who would believe that upright Wu Yingwei could do such a thing?

He asked: "Then what?"

When Chen Gui heard the clerks say they would report, he also threw caution to the wind, shouting for them to report quickly, preferably bringing in a leader.

Old Village Chief Shen broke down, completely losing control, swinging his cane to smash Chen Gui.

Chen Gui dodged, Old Village Chief Shen chased, Chen Gui dodged again, the village committee fell into chaos, then the Lin family came running to add to the mess, drawing even more onlookers.

……

Chen Gui went mad.

Because he was wronged!

He felt he was more wronged than Dou E!

He merely knew that Lin Bin had an affair with Lin Hu's wife; how could this fire burn him?

These past days at the police station, what he thought about most was how he ended up in this situation.

Later he figured it out.

It was the U‑disk!

That U‑disk containing the video!

Chen Gui himself never filmed a video, so where did that video come from?

Was it Lin Hu who directed and acted himself?

No.

After Lin Hu learned of this, he grabbed a kitchen knife and wanted to chop Lin Bin; so impulsive, obviously he wouldn't be so scheming.

Lin Bin doing it to himself?

That's even less possible.

After he unexpectedly learned of this, he had been extorting Lin Bin for a long time.

If Lin Bin were to do that, he would have done it long ago.

Even if Lin Bin liked to film videos as a keepsake, is there any need to frame him further?

So who is the biggest beneficiary?

The answer is obvious—Wu Yingwei!

His reputation is ruined, he's caused such a big mess, naturally he no longer has the qualifications to run for village chief again.

Wu Yingwei can easily win.

Originally, Wu Yingwei was already out of the running, but now it's as if he got a village chief position for free.

It must have been Wu Yingwei who did it!

Wu Yingwei knew he had no chance, so he resorted to this dirty trick.

Case solved!

After Chen Gui confirmed the culprit was Wu Yingwei, he no longer wanted to argue with Lin Hu and Lin Bin, and just thought of quickly leaving the police station to settle scores with Wu Yingwei.

Just as he came out, he hurried straight to the village committee.

The last time the incident broke out, there were actually few people in the village; today it's windy and rainy, so basically everyone is staying at home.

Today's audience is indeed not small.

There are also town clerks watching the drama.

Actually, the person feeling worst in the whole crowd is Old Village Chief Shen.

Chen Gui was promoted by him, and he had already submitted the opinion that Chen Gui should succeed him.

After the incident, he tried every way to minimize the impact, but at this critical juncture, Chen Gui still came to cause trouble!

How would the town leaders react if they found out?

If Chen Gui takes over as village chief, he surely has no chance, and it might even affect him.

He hit Chen Gui hoping Chen Gui would keep quiet.

But Chen Gui still came forward, dodging while shouting, insisting that the clerks give him justice.

No way.

The old village chief was so angry he almost fainted; Wu Yingwei is still one of the parties involved.

The two clerks saw that they really needed to speak up; otherwise, if this continues, when they return to town, the leaders will also criticize them.

……

Duan Dajie spoke with great excitement, vivid and colorful; Wu An listening felt as if he were there, sighing that she truly deserves to be a professional gossip.

"The two clerks at the time asked your father, and your father said there was nothing to say; he didn't know about Lin Bin and Wen Feilv's affair, had no motive, and would certainly not do such a thing."

"No matter what others think, I absolutely believe your father."

Others also joined in shouting, saying they all believe Wu Yingwei, thinking Chen Gui is trying to drag Wu Yingwei down.

Wu An asked, "Have the clerks cleared things up? Give my father a clean slate?"

"The clerks don't have that ability; it's Chen Gui... haha, you don't know how funny Chen Gui is."

"He then shouted on the spot that your father had a motive, saying the village chief position had already been decided for him, and your father, knowing he couldn't win in open competition, resorted to underhanded tactics."

Wu An froze.

Chen Gui truly lost his mind—this... this isn't self-destructing on the spot, admitting he went through the back door.

If this is investigated, not to mention Chen Gui being finished, it will definitely implicate Old Village Chief Shen and even more people.
