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

"Father, Father, Father..."

"What did he say?"

Village Chief Huang looked at Zhang Dexing on the hospital bed, completely bewildered.

"Village chief, how about we move him to another room? There are too many people here... and look how badly he's injured..."

The accountant who was with him seemed to understand and said timidly.

What the hell is going on? I've seen officials get beaten up before.

I've never seen an official beaten like this before.

"Oh... Oh... No problem, hurry up and find the vice dean, he knows me, just mention my name."

Village Chief Huang realized what was happening, since he was completely focused on Zhang Dexing at that moment.

After a whole morning of searching, I finally found a private room on the side of the room.

For the first three days, Zhang Dexing had no one to take care of him and could only receive intravenous nutrition when he was hungry.

His lips were terribly dry, and he seemed listless.

"What should we do?"

Village Chief Huang chased the rest of the people away and sat by the hospital bed, lost in thought.

He didn't even notice that water had filled Zhang Dexing's mouth.

He almost choked to death again.

"Level one disability, comminuted fracture of the lower leg, severe contusion of the inner thigh, teeth... concussion... it would have been better to just die..."

Village Chief Huang looked at the report and hesitated whether to call the police.

Reporting it to the police means that the authorities will intervene and will also contact his family.

The main problem was that he didn't know whether Lu Weiguo's arrangements were reliable or not.

Did Liu Dazhuang actually run away or not?

They're from the same village, and he even watched that idiot grow up.

Subconsciously, he still sided with his villagers.

After all, Zhang Dexing is only here temporarily.

If things hadn't improved recently, the village would have been in complete disarray because of him.

Judging from Zhang Dexing's current state...

Perhaps we should wait until he is able to speak before saying anything.

They say Liu Dazhuang is a fool who has good luck.

The slap, delivered instinctively, actually gave him time to escape.

but.

Village Chief Huang does not intend to call the police.

However, after learning about the situation, the hospital found that only the village chief had come from the family.

We notified the police.

Many doctors at this hospital have been working there for over twenty years.

I've never seen injuries this severe.

As luck would have it, Officer Liu was undergoing a medical check-up at the hospital.

Upon hearing the report, he immediately went to the ward.

"I heard someone got beaten up..."

"Huh? I haven't called the police yet... No, no, no... You've come just in time! There's a mentally challenged guy in our village who beat someone up! Look at what he's done to!"

That idiot must be caught and severely punished!

Zhang Dexing suffered a concussion, but his hearing is still relatively good.

Old Liu's arrival was so sudden that it really startled Village Chief Huang.

But since the police had arrived, he had to do Zhang Dexing a favor.

They pretended to be the one who called the police.

"A fool hit someone? Old Huang, which fool? The one from your village?"

Old Liu and Village Chief Huang already knew each other.

Seeing his affected manner, I smiled and shook my head.

However, upon seeing Zhang Dexing's doctor's diagnosis, his smile vanished.

"Yeah, it's that idiot. I don't know why, I only found out today. Look at what's happened, he's been beaten up like this."

Old Huang also knew nothing when asked.

Old Liu saw that he wasn't lying, and there was no need for him to lie.

I told him I'd contact his family and that he needed to come back to the village with me.

. . . . . .

Aunt Wang's house.

Mrs. Wang is packing Mr. Wang's luggage.

"Mom, I'm not running away. I didn't hit anyone. I was the one who got hit. Why would I run away? I'll starve if I leave home."

"You didn't hit anyone, but you didn't call the police either. With Officer Zhang's petty mind, what good can come of it when he gets back?" Old Mrs. Wang lacked wisdom.

But old people are shrewd. "Also, this matter will be investigated by the police sooner or later. What did Officer Zhang want with you that night? Do you want to tell the truth? If you tell the truth, you'll offend Officer Zhang. If you don't tell the truth and you conceal the situation, it's fine if the police don't find out. But if they do, you'll not only be locked up, but you'll also offend Lu Weiguo."

"Why wouldn't you run away from this thankless task?"

Old Wang lay limp on the kang (a heated brick bed), and it took him a long time to recover.

Just as he was thinking of running away.

With his backpack on, he opened the door and saw Village Chief Huang, Lu Weiguo, and three police officers behind them.

He was looking at Wang Laonian with a grin.

"Brother Wang, you must be going on a long trip. Are you in a hurry? If not, the police will come and ask you some questions."

Sometimes you really have to be clueless and know nothing.

By this time, Wang Laonian had realized the gravity of the situation.

Upon seeing the people outside, he was so frightened that his legs started to tremble.

He wanted to explain the situation, but couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

He was clearly a bit terrified.

"Oh, village chief, Weiguo, and the police officers, come in and sit down. We just boiled some water."

Grandma Wang looked at the bloated, exhausted man; he had no manly qualities whatsoever.

She came out of the house and pulled her son behind her.

"Okay, Aunt Wang, Brother Liu is him. When I arrived, he was the only one inside. I don't know what happened before that."

When I got there, the beating was over. Luckily, I managed to pull them apart and take them to the hospital, otherwise they would have been beaten to death.

Do you think I should get a "Good Samaritan Award"?

Lu Weiguo glanced at Wang Laonian with a joking tone.

This is such a blatant way of conveying a message.

Others might not be able to tell, but surely Old Liu can?

"Alright! You don't need to tell me. I know what you're like. Go outside in a bit, I'll talk to him alone."

Lu Weiguo hadn't even gotten comfortable sitting down yet.

Old Liu chased him out.

Although he wasn't mentioned, the old man clearly didn't want to get involved in these matters.

He slunk away as well.

Once outside, the two lit a cigarette.

"Weiguo, is Dazhuang really gone? We can't find him anymore?"

"I'm sure! I don't even know where he went exactly, how are they supposed to look for him?" Lu Weiguo exhaled a puff of smoke, thinking about how Dazhuang was gone.

I do miss it a little.

Of course, he also missed Li Xiulian, but Liu Dazhuang's departure was too frustrating.

"That's good. They've beaten him up like that, they definitely won't let it go. You should also think carefully about how to deal with it."

I'm planning to just quit. If all else fails, you can become the village chief; at least you'll have something worthwhile to do.

Village Chief Huang squinted, his eyes hidden behind the smoke, making it impossible to tell whether he was testing the waters or shirking responsibility.

In later generations, there was a system called the "responsibility system for the top leader".

Although it's not called that nowadays, if something really goes wrong, the leader is always the first one pushed out to take the blame.

"No, I've already found a job and I'll be onboarding in a few days. You can clean up this mess yourself."

However, I know everything Zhang Dexing has done recently; we are now mortal enemies.

Find your place, okay?

After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, Village Chief Huang was stunned by his words.

After a long pause, he finally snapped, "What the hell are you talking to?!"
