My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Zhou Zhengguo's voice was not loud, but in the quiet interrogation room, every word was clear.

Wang Jianguo stood to the side, his back straightening even more, not daring to utter a sound.

This was the head of the county public security bureau, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Lu Qingshan looked up and calmly met the other person's gaze.

"I am Lu Qingshan."

Zhou Zhengguo nodded without saying anything more, picked up the receipt from the machinery factory on the table and started looking at it, then opened the certificate from the village committee.

A dozen seconds later, he suddenly laughed.

"That old guy Zhang Weida was bragging to me at lunchtime that a heroic grandfather and grandson who could shoot cannons with two guns came from Hongshitun. I didn't expect them to come here in the afternoon."

"At noon, he kept clicking his tongue and saying to me, 'You're incredibly brave. A beast weighing over 500 pounds charged right in front of you, and you didn't even blink. You're a tough guy born to do this kind of work.'"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed, and Lu Qingshan scratched his head sheepishly.

When Wang Jianguo heard the bureau chief praise Lu Qingshan, his face turned even redder, and he began to explain in a low voice.

"Chief, we received a tip-off..."

"report?"

Zhou Zhengguo's smile vanished, and he slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.

"What kind of accusation? It's baseless, malicious slander! This is undermining the stability and unity of our area and dampening the enthusiasm of the people to support national development!"

He turned to Wang Jianguo, his tone stern.

"Go! Find out who reported this! Arrest this troublemaker, this slanderous bastard! Detain him! Give him a good lesson!"

Wang Jianguo jolted awake and put his feet together.

"yes!"

He turned and ran outside, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Only Zhou Zhengguo and Lu Qingshan remained in the interrogation room.

The anger on Zhou Zhengguo's face dissipated, replaced by an appreciative expression. He walked around the table, stood in front of Lu Qingshan, and reached out to help Lu Qingshan up.

"Young comrade, don't take it to heart. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest."

Lu Qingshan stood up and grasped that strong, thick hand.

"I'm ashamed to say that I only killed a wild boar."

"What's there to be ashamed of? Being young and accomplished is a good thing!"

Zhou Zhengguo shook his hand forcefully:

"Good lad! You have courage and ability, and most importantly, you're willing to follow the rules even when wronged—that's true consideration for the greater good! What we need most in building our country and developing our region is young people like you who have a sense of responsibility and integrity!"

"Keep up the good work! If you ever feel wronged again, come straight to me, I'll back you up!"

Lu Qingshan felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Director Zhou, you flatter me. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I think I should head back as soon as possible. My parents must be very worried at home, and I'm afraid they'll fret."

"Right, right, right, look at my brain, I was so happy I forgot about that!"

Zhou Zhengguo slapped his thigh and immediately turned to the driver beside him, shouting, "Xiao Wang! Drive my jeep and get this young comrade home safely!"

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder again: "Go back and give my regards to your parents. They raised a good son!"

"Thank you, Director Zhou!"

The car door slammed shut. The jeep roared back to Hongshitun.

Before the car even reached the village entrance, the news had spread like wildfire throughout the entire village.

"They're back! The police car is back!"

"This time he'll probably be paraded through the streets as a public spectacle, and then dragged off to be sentenced!"

At the entrance of the Lu family compound, Wang Guifen, who had just been helped up by Old Master Lu, went limp again upon hearing the noise.

Lu Changgui's eyes were red-rimmed, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Lin Xiumei's mouth was practically stretched to the sky as she pulled Lin Yaozu along, tiptoeing forward to squeeze in, afraid of missing the scene of Lu Qingshan being escorted away.

At the very front of the crowd, Zhao Laosan stood under the big locust tree, surrounded by several idle men, spitting as they spoke.

"See? I told you! Lu Qingshan is just a paper tiger! He dared to fight with me, Zhao Laosan; he's going to jail now!"

"Third Brother is amazing! One whistleblower letter, and he's got that guy dead!"

Zhao Laosan spat out the grass root he was holding in his mouth.

"Just wait, all those 'three turns and one sound' things he owns will be confiscated soon! Let's see how he'll get married!"

"If you had given me the meat earlier, none of this would have happened."

Before the words were finished, a screeching sound of brakes rang out at the entrance of the village.

The jeep came to a smooth stop.

All eyes in the village turned to it, and everyone held their breath.

The car door opened, and two police officers got out first.

Then, one leg stepped out and landed firmly on the ground.

It is Lu Qingshan.

He wasn't handcuffed, his clothes were neat, and there wasn't a trace of panic on his face.

The villagers were stunned. What was going on?

Zhao Laosan's smug smile froze.

Lin Xiumei's prepared sarcastic remarks got stuck in her throat.

She stared at the composed Lu Qingshan, which was completely different from the scene she had imagined of him being tied up!

The huge contrast made her heart burn with rage, and she couldn't help but point at Lu Qingshan and shout in a shrill voice.

"Hey, officer! Something's not right! Wasn't he arrested for committing a crime? Why isn't he even handcuffed? This...this is a crime, shouldn't he be paraded through the streets as a warning?!"

Her shrill voice sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silent crowd, and many villagers began to whisper among themselves.

However, the two police officers didn't answer her; instead, they asked her directly, "Are you the whistleblower?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Xiumei quickly shook her head and pointed at Zhao Laosan: "It wasn't me. He's the one who reported it."

When Zhao Laosan saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

He forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Officer, police officers, you've worked hard..."

Two police officers, one on each side, stood expressionless between him.

"You're Zhao Laosan?"

"Yes, it was me... that, Lu Qingshan, he..."

Before Zhao Laosan could finish speaking, one of the policemen moved with lightning speed, grabbed his arm, and twisted it behind his back.

"Snap!"

The cold handcuffs locked his wrists tightly.

Zhao Laosan was completely stunned. His legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Comrade! You've arrested the wrong person! I... I'm the whistleblower! I'm an innocent person!"

"You're the one we're after!"

The police officer shouted sternly, "Come with us! Confess to your crimes of maliciously accusing and defaming others!"

The entire village was in an uproar.

"What? Zhao Laosan made a false accusation?"

"My God, what kind of situation is this! It's like the thief crying 'stop thief!'!"

"Serves him right! He's always so mean and takes advantage of others!"

Zhao Laosan felt a buzzing in his head, a heat in his crotch, and a foul stench instantly spread.

He was so scared that he peed himself in front of the whole village.

He was dragged towards the jeep by two policemen, still howling in vain.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

Lu Qingshan stood still, looking down at him as he was shoved into the car.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish; you'll spend your time in jail."

The jeep started up again, accompanied by Zhao Laosan's wailing and howling, and disappeared at the end of the road.

Lin Xiumei's face was deathly pale as she looked at Lu Qingshan, her eyes filled with a fear she herself was unaware of.

Lu Qingshan stared coldly at Lin Xiumei:

"Lin Xiumei, I'm going to the Lin family to propose marriage tomorrow. If you still want to cause trouble, just try it. Don't blame me for not warning you; I have plenty of ways to deal with people!"
