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

"That's good! That's good!"

Li Xiulian stared at Lu Weiguo's determined gaze for a long time.

He patted his prominent chest, finally putting his mind at ease.

"Weiguo, you just gave me a fright! You sneaked out so early this morning, and Dazhuang followed you."

Then I heard the news that Wu Jian had died on the mountain. Tell me, besides you, who else went up the mountain during this time?

I couldn't think of anyone else; I really thought it was you and Dazhuang who gave it to Wu Jian...

Many others share the same thought.

Lu Weiguo had just calmed Li Xiulian down.

Zhang Dexing, along with several young men, stormed up to Lu Weiguo's gate!

"Hey! You little brat, where's your dad? And that big idiot?"

After Wu Jianyi's death, Wang Defa took over.

They automatically became Zhang Dexing's right and left hands.

"Who are you?"

Lu Jiacheng stood up from the mud and snow, standing in front of everyone like a man.

"Who am I? I'm your father! Who am I! I'm asking you, where are your parents?"

And what about your big idiot son?!

Wang Defa pointed his finger at Lu Jiacheng's nose through the fence.

"My father is Lu Weiguo, not you! You...you're a beast."

Lu Jiacheng was not afraid at all, and after speaking, he bit Wang Defa's finger.

"Damn it, are you a dog? Let go!" Wang Defa tried to pull his finger back, but Lu Jiacheng was holding on too tightly.

"Hahaha, oh my god, Defa, how did you get beaten up by a little kid?"

"You're nothing special. You can't possibly be the security chief; you can't even handle a child."

The other young people laughed and mocked him, but no one offered to help.

Finally, Zhang Dexing couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Xiao Jiacheng, I'm your Uncle Zhang. Quickly tell me your parents and that idiot. I need to talk to her."

What he wants to hear most right now is that Lu Jiacheng says his father isn't home.

This would give him reason to suspect that Wu Jian's death was related to Lu Weiguo.

After all, Lu Weiguo and Wu Jian had a dispute just a few days ago.

Wang Laonian said that Wu Jian died under the claws of a lynx, and that he was the only one who saw it.

What really happened? Where exactly did Wu Jian die?

No one else knows.

If it weren't for the fountain pen that Wang Laonian was holding, which Wu Jian treasured and carried with him at all times.

He couldn't believe Wu Jian was really dead.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang, my parents are inside. I'll go call them. Uncle Silly isn't home." Lu Jiacheng opened his mouth, about to turn around, when he suddenly said, "You stink, you're worse than shit!"

Wang Defa was so angry he almost jumped over the fence!

I'm going to slap Lu Jiacheng no matter what.

"You're just like a kid," Zhang Dexing joked with Wang Defa when he saw Lu Weiguo at home. "Go find that idiot now."

If you go up the mountain, find Wang Laonian and tell him that Liu Dazhuang killed Wu Jian!

That idiot, he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Wang Defa was a man who always resorted to underhanded tactics, and he immediately took notice of Zhang Dexing's idea.

My eyes lit up; he's just a little bit mean at best.

But Zhang Dexing is truly wicked!

"Anyway, he's just an idiot, and nobody believes him. Let's take Liu Dazhuang under control first. Right now, Lu Weiguo wants to rescue him."

From now on, I'll have to be mindful of your mood.

"You're the one who gets along with me best. Go and take that idiot under control."

Zhang Dexing nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Lu Weiguo walked out holding Li Xiulian's hand.

"Oh, you're home? I thought you went up the mountain. You know Wu Jian is dead, right?"

Wang Laonian said it was killed by a lynx, but I just don't believe him. Lu Weiguo, you said you were the only one in our village who went up the mountain, while Wu Jian, who never went up the mountain, died there.

Tell me about this. What's your opinion?

"I'll see with my eyes, what? Do you think I'd look with my ass like you do?!"

When it comes to being sarcastic and unpredictable, how could he, a reborn individual who had undergone the training of the "Little Blue Book," possibly be afraid of Zhang Dexing?

"You! Lu Weiguo, your stubbornness is useless. Wu Jian is dead, nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. If you say it has nothing to do with you, I really don't believe it!"

These past two days, you've made an enemy of Wu Jian along with that idiot. Even if the police are notified, you'll be the first one they investigate! You might as well tell the truth now.

We're all from the same village, so we can talk things over.

Zhang Dexing gently and skillfully guided her, speaking softly and gently, his voice seemingly possessing a magical quality.

With each sentence he spoke, he took a step forward, until finally, he met Lu Weiguo's eyes through the fence.

"Fraternity? We've made up. I misunderstood Wu Jian that day. I helped him up, didn't I?"

Besides, Liu Dazhuang didn't hit Wu Jian that day, if what you're saying is true...

You mean, Wu Jian really started the fire at Liu Dazhuang's house?

I remember you saying yesterday that the village's investigation concluded that Liu Dazhuang and his group set their house on fire themselves.

It's easier to negotiate if we leave the village alone. I reckon Lu Weiguo didn't even need to admit that Wu Jian's death was related to him before he even said he was going up the mountain.

Zhang Dexing was about to personally drive a police car to arrest him.

The two have conflicting accounts.

You say your piece, I'll say mine.

"Dead men tell no tales! Don't talk nonsense. Death is a serious matter. You can't just pin all sorts of accusations on Wu Jian."

Zhang Dexing was afraid that Lu Weiguo would continue to ask questions.

They knew perfectly well how Liu Dazhuang's house caught fire.

"That's right, you can't pin the blame on a dead person, but you can pin it on a living one."

Old Man Wang recounted how he climbed the mountain and how Wu Jian died. If what he said is true...

Wu Jian's death is directly related to you, isn't it? If you hadn't issued a warrant for him to take a gun, would he have been able to go up the mountain?

Lu Weiguo was unforgiving when he was in the right, and at this moment, if he showed even a little bit of fear...

That Zhang Dexing will definitely stick to him and won't let go.

Explanation is less effective than retaliation, and besides, no matter how the investigation into Wu Jian's death is conducted, it will not implicate him.

"Don't talk nonsense! I... I would have said it was because you said there were deer on the mountain!"

"It's true there are deer on the mountain, but issuing a warrant for him to take a gun was your own doing." Lu Weiguo's lips curled up as he continued, "You're an educated person, a high school student, don't you understand this basic principle? Go report it to the police and let them investigate. Who bears more responsibility, you or me?"

Lu Weiguo patted the gloves off his hands, turned around and put his arm around Li Xiulian.

He continued, "A newly arrived village cadre, who hasn't done anything practical, has managed to kill the village accountant. This is truly glorious."

"I didn't kill him! Lu Weiguo, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Dexing was furious and kept stomping his feet.

"Oh, okay, just pretend I was talking nonsense," Jia Cheng said, carrying Jia Huan into the house.

Lu Weiguo ignored the people outside the courtyard and led his family of six or seven into the house.

This fresh venison should be eaten quickly. Use pickled cabbage as the base for the hot pot, and then slice the venison and cook it in the broth.

It tasted absolutely delicious.

Outside, Zhang Dexing, furious, saw Wang Defa rushing over in a panic.

Just as they were about to hear good news, Wang Defa said with a resentful look, "The idiot... the idiot has been found."

"Then hurry up and arrest him!"

"Huh? That idiot is with Zhao Yangyang, helping out at her house the whole time..."
