Chapter 720 - 720 718 The Elderly Man's Plea

720: Chapter 718: The Elderly Man’s Plea 720: Chapter 718: The Elderly Man’s Plea Once outside, Chen Yang shared his thoughts with the police officer.

After listening, the officer immediately agreed.

After all, Chang Jun was the main culprit, and the Wei widow had merely been coaxed with flattery and sweet words.

Plus, with Chen Yang’s forgiveness now secured, her release was not a problem.

“Ok, thank you, officer.”

After saying this, Chen Yang thanked the officer and then left the town office.

Back in the car, Wu Kexin looked at Chen Yang and asked, “Do you really intend to just let the Wei widow go like that?”

Chen Yang didn’t answer directly, he fastened his seatbelt and started the car before he responded.

“Yes, release her.

She has children at home that need to be looked after.

If she’s locked up, there will be no one to care for the kids,” Chen Yang replied expressionlessly.

Wu Kexin initially could not understand why Chen Yang would do such a thing.

But after hearing his words, she felt very supportive of Chen Yang’s decision.

“Indeed, the child is still so young, and it’s not the same being with the grandparents.”

Wu Kexin nodded in agreement and did not say much after that.

They drove around town a couple of times, bought some daily necessities, and then returned to Liuhe Village.

The two left early and only got back to the village after nine in the morning.

At this time, the village was bustling with activity.

Those who should be working were working, and those who should be farming were farming.

The construction team working on the temperature-controlled rooms, along with Li Han’s company’s employees who were preparing to start work, had all gathered in the village.

The village was buzzing with energy.

Those who knew would recognize it as a village, while those who didn’t might even mistake it for an industrial zone because it was so busy.

Seeing the thriving village, both Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were in an excellent mood.

After parking the car in front of his house, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin decided to take a walk around, as there was nothing better to do, and strolling around the village felt quite pleasant.

However, as soon as they arrived at Niu Ming’s store, they heard that the Wei widow’s parents, along with the child, had gone to the village office.

“Gone to the village office?

What for?” Chen Yang asked in surprise.

Niu Ming lit a cigarette and laughed, “Of course, they want to plead with the village head, hoping to get you to release the Wei widow.”

After saying that, Niu Ming quickly added, “Yang Zi, you can’t be soft-hearted toward such people.

The Wei widow is so heartless, you have to be firm too, you can’t let her off no matter what.”

Niu Ming was still filled with righteous indignation from the events of the previous night.

He was present at the time but, having just returned, felt it wasn’t appropriate for him to come forward and speak up for Chen Yang.

So, only Uncle Niu stepped forward to speak on behalf of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang understood this very well, so he held no grievances against Niu Ming.

“Heh, that may be true, but shouldn’t we also consider her children?

She may lack conscience, but the children are still our Liuhe Village’s seeds,” Chen Yang replied with a smile to Niu Ming, then no longer wanted to linger there.

Taking Wu Kexin with him, he immediately went to the village office, wanting to see what the Wei widow’s parents were up to.

If they were there to plead for the release of the Wei widow, he could also let them know that he’d already released her that morning.

So as not to have the two elders and a child wait foolishly at the village office.

The pair quickly made their way back to the village office, but as they approached the entrance, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were taken aback.

They had assumed that the two elders would be at most waiting at the doorstep.

But to their surprise, they were actually kneeling at the entrance of the village office with the child.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were quite astonished.

After exchanging a glance, they hurried over to help the two elders to their feet.

“What are you doing?

Get up quickly, this doesn’t look good at all,” Wu Kexin immediately went to help the elders up.

But the two elders showed no signs of getting up.

Seeing Chen Yang and Wu Kexin arrive, they immediately began to beg for mercy.

“Village Chief Yang Zi, I know our Chunying has wronged you, and logically speaking, after such an incident, we shouldn’t have come to you.

But we are at our wits’ end, we can’t be without Chunying at home, so we had no choice but to come beg you with thick faces…”

The two elders knelt on the ground, crying and saying a lot.

But the meaning was very simple; they wanted Chen Yang to let Widow Wei off this time, their family couldn’t be without Widow Wei.

“You two stand up first, we can talk about this properly only when you’re both up,” Wu Kexin said after listening, continuing to help them up.

But the two of them still refused to stand.

“Village Chief, please say a word for us, ask Yang Zi to forgive Chunying this time; otherwise, we won’t stand up,” they pleaded.

Wu Kexin felt helpless seeing this and could only look at Chen Yang.

Wanting to see what Chen Yang thought about the situation.

Chen Yang, sensing Wu Kexin’s gaze, spoke:

“Elder, ma’am, I’ve just been to the police station, and I’ve already greeted them.

Don’t worry, she won’t have any issues, she’ll be able to come back today.”

Upon hearing this, joy immediately surfaced on the faces of the two elders.

“Yang Zi, please don’t deceive a mother…”

“How could I deceive you with such a matter?

Please, take the child and get up, don’t let the child kneel for too long.” Chen Yang reached out to help Widow Wei’s child.

The child was only seven or eight years old, not very old.

But he was quite sensible; when Chen Yang helped him, he immediately stood up.

Seeing Chen Yang saying so, the two elders also stood up one after another.

“Yang Zi, I really don’t know how to thank you…” The two elders, standing up, felt even more remorseful.

Chen Yang repaid grievance with kindness, yet Widow Wei had committed such an act; they were truly ashamed beyond words.

In the end, the two elders sincerely thanked Chen Yang in the village office with the child and then left.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin exchanged glances and, feeling no mood to wander out, went straight into the village office.

Chen Yang sat in the village office for a while, saw that it was getting late, and set off to return home.

After all, it was not good to stay in the village office all the time.

Time flew, and it was soon afternoon.

After Chen Yang had his lunch, he planned to take a nap and then go check on the progress of the constant temperature room.

But before he could lie down, he heard the thunderous sound of trucks.

Upon hearing that a convoy of trucks had entered the village, Chen Yang thought it was Li Han’s construction team ready to start work.

But when he heard the vehicles stop near his home, he realized something was amiss.

“The construction crew is supposed to start work at the quarry; why stop near my house?”

Chen Yang was puzzled, so he stood up and took a look outside.

When he saw clearly what the outside convoy was there for, he couldn’t help but beam with joy.

It was the Gu family’s electronics and furniture arriving.

The building signed for only yesterday was already being furnished today?

The speed was really quite impressive.

The reason he was happy was naturally because he was thinking about his affairs with Gao Ya.

Thinking that it wouldn’t be long before the conditions were met, Chen Yang’s heart grew warm and eager.

After all, having thought about it for so long and being on the cusp of fruition, having such emotions was only natural.

“Oh right, she mentioned she had to go on a business trip last time; I wonder if she’s back yet?”

Remembering Gao Ya, Chen Yang immediately thought of making a phone call to ask where she was now.

If she was back, they could have dinner together tonight.

With that thought, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Gao Ya, asking if she had returned.
