Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 962: 233: Evil is met with evil!_3

Who is Shuyue?

The matter about Zhao Shuyue hadn’t spread through the village yet, so everyone knew her only by her last name Liu and didn’t know her real name.

Before the situation was clarified, everyone reacted defensively, and no one dared to accept the cigarettes from Liu Qinian’s hand.

What if it was a thief?

Jiu Wentang followed up and said, "Shuyue is the Aunt Liu you’ve been talking about, and Aunt Liu is my older sister! Due to some reasons, we had only recently recognized her as our sister! You see, when sisters chat, they lose track of time, and before we knew it, it was midnight! We are all family here!"

Family?

Upon hearing this, the villagers exchanged glances.

These past few days, Liu Qinian and Jiu Wentang had indeed frequently visited Jinghua Village, so the villagers were somewhat familiar with the couple.

Could it be that they had made a mistake?

"Since we are all family, why are you all acting so guilty? Must be because you are hiding something shady!" Ni Yang walked through the crowd, followed by the light from the villagers’ flashlights, shining like a vast snowy glow.

"It really is a misunderstanding!" Liu Qinian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yangyang, do I look like the kind of person who would sneak around stealing? Besides, how many petty thieves drive a sedan? We just came to check on Shuyue!"

A sedan itself costs at least seventy or eighty thousand yuan; who would buy a sedan and still steal?

It must be said, Liu Qinian’s words did make some sense.

After hearing this, the villagers relaxed their guard.

"I think it’s quite possible!" Ni Yang crossed her arms and looked down on Liu Qinian, "Psychology says that people sweat profusely when they are highly nervous. Uncle Liu, is it very hot tonight?"

Saying this made Liu Qinian even more nervous.

For some reason, even though Ni Yang was just a teenager, he couldn’t help but feel incredibly anxious, with cold sweat layering his back.

He couldn’t control it.

In front of Ni Yang, he was like a mouse seeing a cat!

"We really didn’t steal anything!" Jiu Wentang opened both sides of the car doors, "If you don’t believe it, you can check for yourself."

Villagers stepped forward and shone flashlights inside the car; aside from a young girl sitting in the back seat, there seemed to be nothing else.

Liu Ru, who was like a pampered young lady, had never experienced a situation like this and was nearly scared to death.

What should she do now?

If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have come along.

Who knew Jinghua Village was so unified!

"And the trunk." Ni Yang spoke indifferently, "Just because there’s nothing inside the car doesn’t mean there’s nothing in the trunk."

It was the middle of the night; this family of three wouldn’t come here for no reason.

Moreover, since Zhao Shuyue was born into a wealthy family, she might hold something Liu Qinian desperately wanted.

The village chief shone his flashlight at the trunk, "Open the trunk and let us see!"

Hearing the word "trunk," Liu Qinian swallowed hard, the nervousness he had suppressed now surging back.

His mind went blank.

Jiu Wentang was quicker to react, pressing her hand against the trunk, "The trunk contains our private items, it’s not appropriate to show you! Even the police need a search warrant to search, and you have no right to inspect our trunk!"

Seeing Jiu Wentang act this way, Liu Qinian quickly stood in front of the trunk.

If someone saw what was inside the trunk, they couldn’t clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Why had the night turned so bizarre, rousing the entire village?

Liu Qinian felt extremely unsettled.

"Search!" ordered the village chief.

Just as two villagers were about to come forward, Jiu Wentang continued, "You want to search our trunk without a warrant, that’s illegal! It’s an offense that could land you in jail!"

Jail?!

Hearing this, the two villagers who were about to proceed instinctively stopped.

In such good times, who wanted to end up in jail?

Just then, Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui came running from behind, panting, "Yangyang! Your Grandma Liu’s house has been turned upside down! And she’s not at home!"

Maybe because she was used to calling her Grandma Liu, Ni Cuihua had a hard time changing her way of addressing.

Hearing this, the nearby villagers immediately perked up again!
