The couple were preoccupied with how to bring their illegitimate child back home and Wang Zhi, so they didn't really think about finding out the truth of the matter.

As for that lewd man, the snake venom had already entered his lungs and internal organs, and he died before even reaching the hospital.

The other person suffered a brain injury, and it's uncertain whether they will wake up. Moreover, no one knows what kind of aftereffects they might experience after waking up, but at least their life has been saved for now.

Although He Qiang's hand was crippled, his injuries were less severe than the others.

Currently, only He Qiang is conscious. Several police officers went to the hospital to take statements the next day. He Qiang is unaware of the situation of the others and keeps saying that Wen Li deliberately harmed them.

The police officers who came weren't stupid either; with a little trickery, they got him to tell the truth.

His account differed slightly from Wen Li's, but not by much. He Qiang wasn't stupid; of course, he wouldn't admit that they wanted to do anything to Wen Li, insisting that they just wanted to scare her.

The police officers, of course, didn't believe his nonsense. "You think you can scare people with a dagger?"

"I...we just wanted to catch some pheasants, we didn't use darts to scare Wen Zhiqing!"

Wen Li was only frightened and did not suffer any real harm. Besides, the five people were either dead or injured, so the police could only put the matter aside for the time being.

They wanted to investigate the origin of the soil, but the others were still unconscious, and they couldn't get any information from He Qiang, so they had to start from other angles for the time being.

When Old Man Song heard about his grandson's accident, he rushed to the hospital. Only one night later, Song Hui had a few white hairs growing on her head. Not only was her hair messy, but she also seemed to have lost all her vitality.

When Old Man Song saw his daughter, who had always been so concerned with appearances, in this state, he was heartbroken.

"What exactly happened? Although Zhi'er is a bit mischievous, he always knows his limits. Why would he go to such a dangerous place this time? Was someone instigating him? And what about Zhao Shan?"

Old Man Song bombarded Wang Gang with one sharp question after another, leaving him still in a daze. He had spent the entire night thinking about how to persuade his father-in-law to adopt his two adopted sons, and hadn't even considered investigating this matter.

When Old Man Song saw Wang Gang's bewildered look, he knew that this fool hadn't investigated yet. His eyes turned cold, and he stared at Wang Gang with a gloomy expression.

When Wang Gang met his father-in-law's gaze, his legs went weak with fear.

"Dad, Xiaohui has fainted several times from crying. I have to take care of her and I'm really overwhelmed. I haven't had time to check on her yet!"

Old Man Song remained silent, his gaze fixed menacingly on Wang Gang.

"I...I'll go right away, Dad. Please take care of Xiaohui!"

After Wang Gang left the ward in a panic, Old Man Song's eyes changed, and he became the kind father again.

Song Hui's tears fell silently. Seeing the heartache in her father's eyes, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Dad, Xiaozhi... he's ruined, waaaaah~"

Old Man Song only had one daughter, and he never let her suffer any hardship from a young age. Although his daughter was a bit spoiled, she was always innocent. He never expected that she would suffer such a huge blow in middle age!

"Xiaohui, Zhi'er's life is still hanging in the balance. You have to be strong. We'll take Zhi'er to Beijing. The medical facilities there are much better than here, and they'll definitely be able to cure him!"

With a pillar of support, Song Hui felt reassured by her father's words, and she cheered up.

Wang Gang was gone for two hours. When he returned, he told his father-in-law everything he had found out.

"You mean, Zhi'er became like this because of a country girl and a sent-down youth?"

"Yes... that's all we've found for now!"

"Clang—"

Old Man Song smashed the glass in his hand to the ground, shattering it into pieces. Wang Gang, seeing his father-in-law's murderous look, was too frightened to utter a word.

Song Hui's eyes widened in horror, and she felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, almost fainting again.

Old Man Song immediately pinched her philtrum. After a flurry of activity, Song Hui calmed down and looked at her son on the hospital bed with a peaceful expression.

"Dad, I know that country girl named Jiang Yue'er. Zhi'er has always liked her, but that girl has always been pretentious. Since Zhi'er's accident was because of her, let's let her marry Zhi'er. Zhi'er will be happier when he sees her after he wakes up. As for that female educated youth..."

Old Man Song suppressed his surging anger and patted Song Hui's hand, signaling her not to get agitated.

"Okay, Dad agrees to everything! Wang Gang, go and bring that country girl named Jiang Yue'er over to take care of Zhi'er. As for that educated youth... she harmed my grandson, so find a way to send her to the farm for proper reform!"

Wang Gang immediately nodded in agreement. Before he could leave the hospital, someone rushed into the ward. No one knew what that person said, but Old Man Song's face darkened even more.

To avoid worrying his daughter, he didn't say anything for the time being. He comforted Song Hui for a while and then took Wang Gang out of the ward.

Wang Gang followed behind Old Man Song, bowing and scraping. "Dad, is there anything else you need?"

Old Man Song took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with barely concealed anger. "Go and bring that country girl over. As for that educated youth... don't touch her for now!"

Although Wang Gang isn't very capable, he's good at maneuvering. Old Man Song said so, so that educated youth must have a complicated background.

The fact that the father-in-law was so angry suggests that things are a bit complicated.

"Yes, I understand!"

Old Man Song got angry as soon as he saw Wang Gang. "You better behave yourself these days!"

"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely not cause you any trouble!"

Wen Li stayed quietly in the educated youth compound all day. If she wasn't mistaken, the Song family member should have already found out what happened.

Sure enough, another car drove into the village in the afternoon. Chen Yan had specially accompanied her at the educated youth compound today. Suddenly, a car drove up to the village entrance, and the people in the car went directly to the Jiang family.

Wen Li and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, and the two immediately went to the village chief's house, where a large crowd had already gathered.

"Gentlemen, this matter really has nothing to do with my daughter. Why don't I go with you?"

The Jiang family shielded Jiang Yue'er behind them.

"Village Chief Jiang, Deputy Director Wang didn't mean anything by it. Since the matter arose because of Comrade Jiang, we should at least get to the bottom of it, don't you think?"

The leader was very polite, and for a moment no one knew their purpose.

"Well... Wen Zhiqing has already explained this matter clearly, and my daughter has also said that she really didn't know anything about it. Wouldn't it be better if you asked the parties involved again?"

Wen Li and Chen Yan's faces darkened; everyone could tell that the village chief wanted to push her out!

"Village Chief Jiang, we're just here on official business. Our job is to take Comrade Jiang in for questioning; we have no jurisdiction over the others!"

Finally, the man whispered something in the village chief's ear, and Jiang Yue'er was taken away anyway.

However, she remained calm and unconcerned, as if she had already figured out how to deal with Wang Zhi's parents!
