CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Faced with Gao Qilan's questioning, Gao Qilin revealed his true thoughts.

"Don't want to involve innocent people? What do you mean? Does that mean Zhao Ruilong is innocent in your eyes?"

Gao Qilan was genuinely puzzled by Gao Qilin's words and began to question him.

"It has nothing to do with Zhao Ruilong. As you should have seen today, his sister accompanied him. Judging from her efficiency, it's clear she doesn't want to get involved in our dispute."

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, Zhao Qinjuan was stunned for a moment, and then began to recall what had happened that day.

He looked closely and found that it was indeed as Gao Qilin had said. Zhao Qinjuan was very serious about her work today, and it was also clear from her last sentence that she had no intention of targeting Gao Qilin at all.

“Zhao Qinjuan has nothing to do with this matter, so it’s better not to get involved. Although Zhao Ruilong can kill innocent people indiscriminately and endanger the people around me, I can’t do that.”

Seeing that Gao Qilan had thought of something, Gao Qilin continued speaking, looking very serious.

Gao Qilan knew that once Gao Qilin made a decision, no one could change it, so she didn't say anything more after hearing what he said.

........ .. ...

"Since that's what you think, then let's do it this way. I just hope that Zhao Qinjuan isn't an ingrate who will let you go today and then turn around and bite you tomorrow."

After saying that, Gao Qilan left directly, showing no intention of lingering any longer.

"Alright, everyone, let's all go home. You've all had a busy day and are probably tired. There's still a lot to do tomorrow."

Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Qilin didn't say anything more and told the villagers to go back.

But the villagers felt that what they had done today had let Gao Qilin down, so none of them went back and they all stood there.

The village chief naturally understood their intentions, but he also knew that their continued presence wouldn't achieve anything, so he spoke in a tone of shooing them away:

"What are you all standing there for? They've already told you to go back, why aren't you moving? What, do you want them to send you all back one by one?"

After hearing what the village chief said, they didn't know what else to say. They exchanged glances and then left. In the blink of an eye, only Gao Qilin and the village chief remained.

Chapter 442 Problems in the Orchard

"Please don't take today's events to heart. You've known those people for a while now, and I think you know what kind of people they are. They didn't mean to say those things to you."

After they left, the village chief apologized to Gao Qilin with a look of remorse, and at the same time put the local specialties that were originally intended for Zhao Ruilong into Gao Qilin's hands.

But Gao Qilin didn't care for this item. He knew in his heart that it was very precious to the people in this village, so he had no intention of accepting it. He quickly explained:

“I appreciate your kindness, and I won’t let the villagers feel bad about it. Don’t worry, that’s fine. But I don’t think I need to keep that stuff. You should take it back and share it with the villagers. I think you need it more than I do.”

To prevent the village chief from harassing him further, Gao Qilin turned to leave after saying those words.

But at this moment, the village chief stepped forward and stopped him, explaining:

“I originally intended to give these things to the inspection team, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized they didn’t deserve them at all, so I thought I’d let you keep them.”

After hearing what he said, Gao Qilin knew that if he didn't take the item, the village chief would probably feel just as uncomfortable as he did.

To prevent such a thing from happening, Gao Qilin accepted it after some hesitation.

"Since you put it that way, then I'll take it. Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest. Don't you have a lot of things to do tomorrow?"

Seeing that Gao Qilin had handed over these things, the village chief was much relieved and said to Gao Qilin:

"Yes, I have a lot of things to take care of tomorrow. You should get some rest too. I'll head back now."

After saying that, he left without any intention of staying.

"That Zhao Ruilong is really something, he actually managed to find this place. It seems like he's going to be under a lot of pressure from now on."

After Zhao Ruilong left, Gao Qilin couldn't help but sigh and looked very troubled, wondering what to do next.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a good solution. Faced with this situation, he could only rest for the time being, since there were still many things to deal with in the village tomorrow.

However, not long after Gao Qilin lay down, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Who is it? Coming to see me in the middle of the night? Aren't you supposed to be resting? If it's anything, you can come to see me tomorrow."

Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin appeared very impatient and began to complain to the outside, since what he hated most was being disturbed while he was resting.

After Gao Qilin finished speaking, the outside indeed became quiet.

Gao Qilin assumed that the other party had already wisely left, so he didn't pay any more attention to what was going on outside.

But just as Gao Qilin was about to go to sleep again, another sound rang out. This time, however, it wasn't the sound of knocking on the door, but rather a person's helpless sobbing.

"I didn't mean to disturb your rest. I just encountered some problems that I couldn't solve and wanted your help. If the villagers find out about this tomorrow morning, I think it will be difficult to handle."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Gao Qilin realized that something serious had happened in the village, which instantly banished his sleepiness, and he immediately jumped out of bed.

Gao Qilin was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain clearly through the wall, so he said to the outside:

"Wait for me outside for a moment. I'll get dressed and then come out. We can talk about it face to face."

After he finished dealing with everything, he rushed outside. At this time, he found the village chief sitting at his door. Only after seeing this did Gao Qilin realize that the village chief had come to find him.

"Oh, it's you. If you need anything in the future, just tell me your name. I'll come right away. If you don't tell me who you are and just say you have something to do, I'll think you're one of those people who have nothing better to do than sleep."

Since Gao Qilin was woken up, he couldn't help but complain when he saw the village chief in front of him.

"Don't worry, this will never happen again. The reason I came to see you in the middle of the night is because something happened at the orchard, and I wanted you to take a look."

"What happened in the orchard? What happened? Tell me quickly."

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Gao Qilin immediately had a bad feeling. After all, the orchard was the village's main source of income, and if there was a problem there, it would mean that the villagers would lose their livelihood.

“As usual, I got up in the middle of the night to check on the orchard, but I found that all the leaves had fallen off and the fruit trees looked like dead trees. We rely on these trees to make money, and now that they have problems, what are we going to do?”

After seeing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief could no longer hold back and told him everything he had seen.

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

Chapter 443 Pesticide on the Leaves

In Gao Qilin's memory, the village chief had always been a very strong person, so upon seeing his actions, he looked quite troubled and quickly said:

"Just tell me what's wrong, don't cry. It's not like I won't help you."

"But you can't help me. You can't bring those fruit trees back to life. I came to you today because I want you to help me think of how I should explain this to the villagers when they wake up tomorrow."

Seeing that Gao Qilin wanted to resolve the matter, the village chief immediately feigned disbelief, after all, even he wasn't that confident.

"This……"

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Gao Qilin realized that he had unintentionally boasted, and then looked quite embarrassed.

"How about this, you take me to the orchard. It hasn't been that long since the incident, so if we go now, maybe 16 can still find out something."

“You’re right. Not much time has passed yet, there’s still a chance to save him. Why didn’t I think of that earlier? Let’s not waste any more time, let’s hurry up the mountain.”

At this moment, the village chief immediately realized this. He quickly put down what he was holding and pulled Gao Qilin to run up the mountain.

Seeing the village chief running wildly on the uneven road, Gao Qilin had a bad feeling and quickly reminded him:

"Slow down. There are so many rocks on the mountain, and there are no lights at night. Aren't you afraid of tripping over yourself if you walk so fast?"

“I’ve walked this road since I was a child, and I must have walked it more than a thousand times. Even if I walked it with my eyes closed, let alone in the dark, I probably wouldn’t have the kind of situation you described.”

Faced with Gao Qilin's doubts, the village chief explained the situation on his side and appeared very confident.

"How could I have forgotten that? Just pretend I didn't say anything, and keep leading the way. I'll keep up with you."

At this point, Gao Qilin didn't know what else to say. He gave an awkward laugh and then followed the village chief up the mountain.

Although the village chief helped him along the way, Gao Qilin had still expended a lot of energy. After arriving at the destination, he could no longer hold back and sat down on the ground to rest.

"I'm exhausted just now. I don't think we needed to run so fast. Even if we were in a hurry, we didn't have to rush like this. Luckily, nothing happened on the way. If something had happened, we would both be doomed."

After Gao Qilin said that, the village chief looked bewildered and explained to Gao Qilin:

"Didn't you just tell me that the earlier we arrive, the better the chance of saving him? That's why I ran so fast."

Gao Qilin realized this only after hearing what the village chief said. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. After resting for a while, he followed the village chief and hurried forward.

Because the lights were off, Gao Qilin couldn't see what was happening in the tree, but once he got down there, he could clearly hear a rustling sound coming from under his feet.

Upon hearing that voice, Gao Qilin immediately sensed something was wrong and asked:

"What is this thing on the ground? I remember when I came here this morning, it didn't feel like this when I stepped on it."

"It's nothing but the fallen leaves from those fruit trees. I just can't understand why they can lose so many leaves in such a short time. And it's not even winter yet, so they shouldn't be hanging off their leaves."

Faced with Gao Qilin's doubts, the village chief explained what was on his mind.

After hearing what the village chief said, Gao Qilin realized that the person in front of him was on a completely different level of knowledge than himself, so he stopped talking to him about the matter.

At this moment, Gao Qilin quickly took out his mobile phone to provide light and found that, just as the village chief had said, there were only a few leaves left on the trees, and the leaves on the ground were extremely withered and yellow, looking so out of place compared to the surrounding green grass.

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly turn out like this?"

Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin realized that something was wrong and immediately began to check, examining each of the trees one by one.

After checking, Gao Qilin found some residual liquid on the fallen leaves.

"That's strange. If I remember correctly, it hasn't rained these past few days, and when you water the trees, you wouldn't pour water on the leaves, would you?"

“Although we’re not well-educated, we’re not stupid. Who would water leaves for no reason?”

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, the village chief couldn't help but complain.
