581: Chapter 581: The Matter has Blown Up!

The night grew thicker.

When the last traces of twilight vanished behind the mountain ridges,

night fell.

Genlong Village, with its green mountains and clear waters, was gradually enveloped in darkness.

Although the area of the wild mountains was not vast, the trees were tall, the forest dense, and the underbrush thick.

Once it got dark, you couldn’t see your hand in front of you, and it became even harder to find people.

Moreover, after nightfall, it was hunting time for many wild animals, making the forests unsafe.

The wolves may have disappeared, but wild boars were still around; hadn’t they just hunted a mature one today?

What’s more,

these wild mountains and waters were naturally suitable for snakes to inhabit and thrive.

Fang Qingya had been bitten by a snake, and villagers who had gone into the mountains before had also encountered them frequently.

So…

After dark, the villagers who had come to help with the search spontaneously returned to their homes.

Wu Jie didn’t let Tang Kun, Zhang Hao, and the others continue the pursuit either, but headed back to the courtyard to have a barbecue.

As for Wei Honghua…

Where could he run to?

The only village road in and out passed right by his yard.

And Wei Honghua’s Land Rover was parked outside the courtyard.

Escaping back to Xirong City wouldn’t be easy for him.

Did he expect to traverse the wild mountains in the dead of night, reach another village on foot, and then somehow get to Pingle Town to catch a ride to the city?

The thought was nice, but the reality was cruel.

In the countryside, where land was vast and people scarce, especially after many young people went out to work, most of the population consisted of the elderly and children left behind.

Therefore,

to prevent theft, every household in the village kept dogs.

Some living in remote areas even unleashed their dogs at night so they could move freely around the house to guard against thieves.

The dogs were well-acquainted with fellow villagers and generally didn’t bite,

but Wei Honghua, on his first visit to Pingle Town, was certainly not familiar with each village.

He was an utter ‘stranger,’ no different from a thief.

Trying to navigate the mountain roads in the dark?

That would surely alarm the dogs of each household.

By then,

forget sending people to catch him, those dogs would give him a quick lesson on manners.

In contrast,

what everyone was more concerned about was the supremely unlucky Fang Qingya.

Going hunting in the mountains, chasing a wild duck, and getting bitten by a venomous snake.

On her way home, she was even accidentally injured by Wei Honghua.

Although the injury wasn’t serious, not reaching the bone, just abrasions and bruising—some liniment and massage would do—

her leg was indeed plagued with constant misfortune.

Whether it would leave scars was not yet known, but what was certain is that for a long time, she wouldn’t be able to drive.

And even more unfortunate…

Because of her injury, she had to avoid spicy foods.

Now that was truly tragic.

The hard-earned wild duck could only be eaten in small amounts, daring not to indulge too much.

As for the deliciously spicy and fragrant wild boar they had barbecued, she could forget about enjoying that to her heart’s content.

Such a tragedy!

Watching Tang Xin, Tang Kun, and the others eat joyfully, Fang Qingya felt even more resentful toward Wei Honghua.

She wished that he too would be bitten by a venomous snake and die from the poison in those mountains.

…

Outside the courtyard,

Wei Honghua’s driver, shivering in the night breeze, seemed to tremble.

Covered in mud, he found a fishpond to bathe in and was cleaned up, looking drenched from head to toe.

Even though it was summer, the cool breezes that frequently blew through the rural nights chilled him to the bone.

Beside him, the three small business owners who had come to the village with him all looked disheartened.

Regretting having left earlier, only to change course halfway and return?

Regretting not convincing Wei Honghua, resulting in the current awkward situation?

But in this world…

there’s no medicine for regret.

The situation was clear.

The grudge had been formed.

Their apologies and compensations were useless; the bell ringer had to untie the bell!

If Wei Honghua didn’t come back and apologize to settle the matter, then the four of them, along with their two vehicles, couldn’t even think about leaving.

Not far ahead was the mountain slope.

The bodyguard named Pan, carrying a gun, chose not to take action but instead parked a Mercedes-Benz SUV diagonally on the road.

The cement roads in the countryside were already narrow.

With it parked diagonally, only motorcycles could barely pass.

Their Land Rover and Prado couldn’t get through at all.

Leave on foot?

How far could they get?

The four of them had almost no fighting ability.

How could they possibly beat the inner guard, who could be called an Imperial Bodyguard?

Waiting where they were.

It wasn’t pleasant either.

With only beverages and mineral water in both cars, no food to fill their stomachs, and the aroma of laughter and barbecue drifting from the courtyard,

to them, who were ravenous, the spicy and savory scent of the meat was unbearable torture.

Finally.

Someone couldn’t take it anymore, returned to the car, closed the door, and lay down to sleep; inside the car, they couldn’t smell the delicious food anymore.

All three small bosses got into their cars one after another, leaving only Wei Honghua’s driver, staring around with longing eyes.

But…

The countryside is not like the city.

House distribution is sparse, and it’s impossible to have streetlights for illumination.

When night fell, instead of a multitude of household lights, there were only a few faint lights elsewhere.

As for the wild mountains and ridges that Wei Honghua had fled into, they were pitch-black, and you couldn’t see anything at all.

Once again, he took out his phone to dial.

Beep…

Beep…

Beep…

Wei Honghua had not turned off his phone, but no one was answering.

It was unclear whether he was too busy running away or if his phone had been lost along the way.

This wasn’t the first time he had tried calling, but still, there was no answer.

After hanging up the phone, the driver too opened his door and climbed into the car.

The night wind was cutting, bone-chillingly cold.

After getting into the car and turning on the heater, it felt much better.

Before long,

Wei Honghua’s father, Wei Yun, called again.

“Liu, has Honghua been found yet?

I’ve called him several times, and he hasn’t answered!”

The driver sighed, “They’ve stopped searching.

The villagers have all gone home.

Wu Jie and the others are barbecuing in the yard and haven’t sent anyone to search in the forest.

However, they’ve parked a car blocking our way out.”

Wei Yun was so furious he gritted his teeth.

“Then…

you keep waiting, and don’t go to negotiate with Wu Jie and his lot.

We should be there in about two hours; I will handle this matter personally!”

The driver promptly reassured him, “Okay, I’ll notify you immediately with any updates!”

After Wei Yun grunted an acknowledgment, he hung up the call.

The driver tossed his phone aside, unable to suppress a cold snort of laughter.

“You’re going to handle it personally?

I freaking wish you would!”

“With such a big fuss, how could it be something I could handle?”

As he muttered, the driver looked for cigarettes to smoke.

He had already explained today’s events to Wei Yun once.

To avoid misunderstandings that could arise from word-of-mouth, he had taken the extra step to send a long text message.

The message detailed the sequence of events, starting from Wei Honghua falling for the woman at first sight, including him chasing her up the mountain and then waiting at the foot of the mountain.

It also included what happened when his flirtation failed, how he cursed her as a “damn witch,” provoking her to draw a knife, leading to a fight…

The text was lengthy, and of course, it mentioned Wei Honghua throwing a steel pipe and injuring another woman.

And this incident was the main cause of the entire situation spiraling out of control.

Luckily, the steel pipe only hit her right shin.

Had the steel pipe’s end not been blunt and had some sharp protrusion, wouldn’t it have pierced through?

If it had hit her back, wouldn’t she have been skewered?

The things Wei Honghua had done in a moment of impulsivity were truly terrifying.

The very thought was chilling!

Of course.

The driver had not exaggerated or fabricated anything in the message, nor had he taken sides.

He was just a working man, incapable of affronting either side.

So he had stuck to the facts, listing the events in chronological order.

As for how Wei Yun would handle the situation with Wei Honghua after his arrival…

The driver didn’t care about that; he was starving at the moment.

Earlier in the paddy field, he had been brutally beaten and kicked by an enraged Wei Honghua.

Now he was sore all over and feeling very uncomfortable.

Inside, he couldn’t help but hope something unfortunate would befall Wei Honghua, that he would just die in those woods.

After all, these days, working as a driver for anyone else would offer pretty much the same treatment.

…

Time ticked away by the second.

Just as the driver was getting drowsy with hunger, suddenly the sound of sirens broke through the air.

Piercing sirens and dazzling flashing lights.

Several vehicles descended from the hillside, only to be blocked by that Mercedes off-road vehicle.

The driver looked carefully, somewhat surprised.

There were quite a few cars.

There were riot control vehicles, police buses, patrol cars…

Looking at the license plates, they seemed to have hustled from the county seat.

Considering the time, it made sense for them to have arrived by now.

At this moment.

A few cops with wide-brimmed hats got out of the lead police cars.

They had initially intended to ask someone to move the car, but…

Pan from the off-road vehicle also came down and casually flashed a badge.

And sure enough!

All the cars behind turned off their engines and lights, silencing the incessant sirens.

The driver was secretly impressed; he had known that the Tang Family from Tianyuan had a big shot in the yard.

But now, seeing firsthand the high level of his bodyguard and the extent of his authority…

he was even more astonished.

After Pan exchanged a few words with them,

The highest-ranking officer immediately shouted an order.

Soon, many police officers and tactical units swiftly alighted from their vehicles, armed and imposing.

Unable to stay put, the driver quickly opened the door and stepped out.

Seeing a tactical team member leading a police dog towards him, the driver hurriedly opened the back seat car door.

“You’re here to search the mountain for Wei Honghua, right?

Then quickly let the police dog sniff the scent in the car!”
