Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

So that's what he was waiting for.

Even Li Xiulian could tell something was wrong at this point.

You have to admit that Zhang Dexing has definitely improved recently; he now knows how to use the masses to pressure him.

First, let's talk about the hunting operation, and then we'll discuss how only Lu Weiguo was capable of it.

If they've already hunted them, why are there still black bears near the village?

After he said that, anyone who wasn't very bright would feel that the black bear was his responsibility.

Moreover, Lu Weiguo was the biggest beneficiary of that hunt.

Almost everyone in the village believed that he was able to build a brick house because he made enough money from hunting.

Although he said it was his responsibility, the villagers only saw Zhang Dexing's sense of duty.

In the end, all the questions were passed on to Lu Weiguo.

"Me? To save people?"

"Yes! Now we all depend on you!" Zhang Dexing said, and the other women became anxious.

After all, the purchasing station run by Village Chief Huang was related to their daily income.

"Yes, Weiguo, please help us out. The village chief has it tough too!"

"They left in the afternoon, and it was already dark. If they had gone later, there wouldn't have been any left!"

"Hey, there's still a lot of goods left. How come that beast managed to carry them all away?"

"..."

But everyone forgot that it was Lu Weiguo who brought this purchasing station to the village.

"No problem, the aunties are right. I'll go home, change my clothes, and go right away."

However, given the magnitude of this matter, we should prepare for both possibilities. Let's quickly call the village committee and summon the police as well.

"Many hands make light work! Officer Zhang, could you organize some more people from the whole village? I'll head up the mountain right now!"

Zhang Dexing's expression changed at the mention of the police.

However, he readily agreed.

He quickly admitted that he was still not up to par and had even forgotten about this!

The village aunties were so comforted!

He hurriedly followed Zhang Dexing to report the crime.

"Weiguo, I feel there's something wrong here. Zhang Dexing's expression is off, and the order in which he's handling the issues is wrong. It's like he's been waiting for you all along."

The two of them left for the county town in a hurry this time, and neither of them told anyone.

Li Xiulian pulled Lu Weiguo into the house, closed the door, and then expressed her worries.

"There is indeed a problem, but human lives are at stake, so we have to go and see for ourselves."

Lu Weiguo said this while changing his clothes.

"Tell me, with so many people at home, why do we have to wait for you? We just had a few days of peace and quiet, and now you're going up the mountain again..."

Li Xiulian was timid to begin with, and when she heard that Hei Xiazi could drag two people away, she became even more frightened.

Besides, there's also Zhang Dexing, who has no good intentions.

"You still don't trust your husband? If we had a black bear, that would be perfect. We can have Huang He take it back tomorrow and sell it for a good price."

Lu Weiguo said half-jokingly, and while his wife was changing his leg wraps, he secretly kissed her on the forehead.

"Go to our parents' house in a bit. My sister-in-law is due to give birth in the next few days, so don't let our son bump into her."

The child was sent to Lu Dewang's house early this morning, with the original plan to pick him up the next morning.

The two of them can enjoy some quality time together tonight.

Unexpectedly, things fell through.

No wonder Li Xiulian has become much smarter.

"I know, be careful. Sigh, everyone says the Lunar New Year is a good time, but something always seems to happen after it..."

Li Xiulian was filled with worry.

Lu Weiguo, on the other hand, felt perfectly normal.

The man, Hei Xiazi, was sleeping peacefully, but for the past few days, firecrackers have been going off every single day without stopping.

It rings during the day and at night.

Even people can be grumpy when they wake up.

Let alone beasts!!

However, Lu Weiguo was not in a hurry because he suspected that this was a trap set by Zhang Dexing.

If the person was indeed carried away by a bear in the afternoon, they'd probably be dead by now, so there's no point in trying to save them.

Lu Weiguo picked up his hunting rifle and went outside. After thinking for a moment, he secretly hid the pistol in his leggings.

I didn't bring the sniper rifle.

It was already dark, and Liu Dazhuang would only be a burden to carry around.

On the contrary, he himself could see things in the dark without a torch.

It was more convenient for me to do it myself, so I didn't call him. I made my way out of the village in the dark, circled around for a while, and finally walked out of the fields.

. . . . . .

Are your people reliable?

In the warehouse behind the village committee.

Wang Defa, who was captured by wolves, has somehow ended up here.

"They're all local thugs who have a grudge against Lu Weiguo, and this has nothing to do with you, so what are you afraid of?"

Looking at the nervous Zhang Dexing, Wang Defa secretly despised the hypocrite.

"Just continue with your plan. I'm forced into this situation. These young buddies are leaving soon, saying they're going to try their luck in the south."

If I don't get rid of Lu Weiguo soon, I won't be satisfied!

Zhang Dexing sighed upon hearing this: "Let me tell you, Lu Weiguo told me to call the police. With so many people around, there's nothing I can do. If something really happens..."

"Just say you took the gun yourself, and don't try to drag me into this!"

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

He had planned everything perfectly, as long as he maintained his relationships in the village until he was transferred.

They could absolutely use legitimate means, taking advantage of the city officials announcing his transfer order, to bypass the county leaders and take Lu Weiguo away directly.

This was a completely open and calculated scheme, and Lu Weiguo had no chance of breaking the deadlock.

But these idiots had to ruin things at this crucial moment.

He was so embarrassed by his clumsy explanation.

I never expected that I would actually lead Lu Weiguo up the mountain!

Four people, four guns, and a hostage in their hands.

If they can't kill Lu Weiguo, these guys might as well eat shit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dexing quickly made a phone call to the brigade.

Then, a car that had set off from the county town drove straight toward Fendou Village.

Zhang Dexing breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he hung up the phone.

"These idiots are too stupid, I'm not playing with you guys anymore."

the other side.

Public Security Office.

Upon receiving the call from Fendou Village, the police officer who answered the call immediately reported it to Lao Liu, who had just returned from a meeting.

"What the hell? Struggle Village? Black Bear kidnapped the village chief? This is utter nonsense!"

Old Liu was stunned when he heard this, because Lu Weiguo, that troublemaker, was there!

It's already a miracle that Black Bear doesn't avoid it; how dare he cause trouble?

"Who called the police?"

"He's the village cadre stationed in Fendou Village, what's his name? Zhang Dexing?"

"Oh?" Old Liu immediately recognized the name.

Isn't this the person Zhao Kaishan asked us to investigate these past few days?

Old Liu tapped his fingers on the table.

"Alright! Let's go, I'll go with you. Call a few more people; if there really are bears, this is a serious matter. While we're at it, let's call the forestry people over too."

"If something happens in their mountains, do you think they can escape responsibility?"
