Chapter 354 - 354 Go to Jail

354 Go to Jail

Hearing Sixth Brother’s words, the man was unconvinced. “I paid for it, so she is mine. So what if I kill her? Of course, I’m the most miserable one. I spent money, but I lost both my son and wife!”

Old Six still wanted to say something, but Old Li didn’t have the patience. He turned around and roared, “Your logic is excellent. Do you want to share it with the police?”

The man stopped talking.

Old Li stepped on the accelerator. His eyes were flashing with killing intent. If he couldn’t bring everyone back safely, then he would have to deal with it.

!!

Those people couldn’t live!

******

Chen Wei’er followed the headlights and looked forward. The road ahead was getting increasingly narrower. She couldn’t help but worry.

“We aren’t heading to a dead end, are we?”

“I am not sure,” As He Xun spoke, he stepped hard on the accelerator. He didn’t know if this was the right path, but what else could he do? Even if the path was wrong, he still had to continue!

Chen Wei’er could see the irritation on He Xun’s face. Her husband rarely had such an emotion. She suddenly felt a little distressed and guilty.

“Hubby, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I didn’t come here to see the osmanthus, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“This has nothing to do with you,” He Xun said while glancing at his wife.

“It is all because of me. If I didn’t insist, how could we have fallen into this situation?” Chen Wei’er rebutted.

“If you didn’t insist, we wouldn’t have met Qin Dandan and the rest! They might end up buried here for the rest of their lives! So, you can look at it in a different way, alright?” Although He Xun was anxious, his voice remained calm.

Chen Wei’er slowly felt at ease due to her husband’s steady voice. The anxiety caused by self-blame diminished.

“You didn’t cause all this. The fault lies with those bad people. Do you understand?”

Hearing He Xun’s comforting words, Chen Wei’er nodded.

However, He Xun could still notice the fluctuations in his wife’s mood. He decided to change the topic and help Chen Wei’er relax a bit.

“Do you remember how you felt when you first met the head of Osmanthus Village?”

“I do remember.” Chen Wei’er nodded. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?” She was puzzled.

“Let’s just chat. I will guide you to refresh your mind.” He Xun smiled faintly. He didn’t explain the actual reason. He Xun merely wanted to make Chen Wei’er feel less guilty.

Chen Wei’er didn’t think too much about it and began to recall. She remembered that the village chief’s wife had a disdainful look on her face at that time. It was only when He Xun revealed his identity as the school’s investor that her expression immediately changed.

“I thought it was strange.” She commented, “The attitude of the village chief’s wife made me feel uncomfortable…”

“How did she make you uncomfortable?” He Xun continued to usher Chen Wei’er.

“The flattery was kind of suspicious.” Chen Wei’er thought for a while.

“Yeah, I felt the same too.” He Xun nodded, but he frowned when he thought of Old Li’s expression back then.

“I don’t know if you have noticed, but the residents in this village gave off a shady vibe.” Chen Wei’er pulled He Xun’s arm and placed hers on the crook of his arm.

He Xun thought about his impression of the villagers in Osmanthus Village. His wife’s words were a bit strange to him.

“Why do you say that?”

“You see, Osmanthus Village is relatively remote. It should be poorer than Anning Village, right?” Chen Wei’er looked pensive.

“What did you find?” He Xun raised his eyebrows.

“On the way to the village chief’s house, I observed the villagers. We met an old lady while asking for directions. She was too vigilant! I should have noticed that something was amiss back then! It’s unreasonable for an old lady to be so tense when someone is only asking for directions!”

“That’s indeed the case, but we didn’t think much of it at the time,” He Xun said after some thought.

“We weren’t alert enough.” Chen Wei’er sighed. Even an old lady was incredibly sharp. This meant that everyone in Osmanthus Village knew about the human trafficking business. It might even be accurate to say that everyone was involved.

Chen Wei’er focused and carefully thought about it. She realized that things were not that simple. Other than the residents, the village must be working with some outsiders!

“It’s a pity that we were still one step too late. They had already planned it in advance and even sent someone to puncture our tires first!” When Chen Wei’er thought of this, she madly hit the seat.

“I’m so angry. I must call the police and send these people to prison.”

“We’ll get out.” He Xun smiled and glanced at Chen Wei’er. Seeing that she was no longer conflicted, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Chen Wei’er would take all the blame on herself.
