Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Yeah, cousin, this whole thing was caused by Liu Bei. We have to find Liu Bei to come up with a solution."

……

"Alright. Shut the hell up, all of you!"

Fan Sanyuan immediately interrupted, "Liu Bei has already given us the method!"

"What? You've given me a solution?"

Wen Caixia and the others were stunned for a moment, then stared at each other in unison. "Dazhuang, didn't you say—"

"No need to ask Dazhuang." Before Wen Caixia could finish speaking, Fan Sanyuan explained.

"Isn't it clear enough that Xiao Bei said he didn't hear anything, didn't see anything, or chose to confess voluntarily?"

"Where did Dayong and Daqiang go? As their family, we all have to pretend we know nothing! We neither saw them nor heard of it!"

"If the police come, and they don't know what happened, just tell them this!"

"If the police's words reveal that they have everything, then find a villager and have that villager tell them directly that Fan Xibei was indeed cut by Da Yong and Da Qiang. But Fan Xibei was not dead at the time."

"If the police keep pursuing them, find another villager and have him tell the police that he saw Dayong and Daqiang run into the mountains. The mountains are dangerous; I don't believe the police would actually go in to catch them!"

"That's true, but the mountains are dangerous. What if—" Wen Caixia was still a little worried.

"Then they can only blame their bad luck!" Fan Sanyuan sighed, looking up. "Who told them to be so brainless and insist on cutting off Fan Xibei's penis? Fine, they cut it, but they didn't even take it to the clinic. Now look what happened, they've caused trouble!"

"This is a trial for them both. If they overcome it, everything will go smoothly from now on. If they don't, well... they can only blame their bad luck!"

"What?" Wen Caixia staggered back a few steps, shaking her head repeatedly. "No. My son can't die. I have to go find Liu Bei!"

"You get back here right now!" Fan Sanyuan immediately pulled Wen Caixia back. "What good will it do you to go find Liu Bei?"

"Did Liu Bei order them to cut off Fan Xibei's territory? No, I don't think so!"

Did Liu Bei tell them not to take Fan Xibei to the health center? No, I don't think so!

Did Liu Bei have the villagers take Fan Xibei to the veterinary station? Or probably not!

"This whole thing, from beginning to end, has absolutely nothing to do with Liu Bei. What can he do if you go to him?"

"You're going to take the blame for your two sons? You should know that taking the blame is a serious matter; if you get caught, it could cost you your head! If you were in their shoes, would you dare to take the blame for someone else?"

"I...of course I wouldn't dare!" Wen Caixia shook her head, but she was still unwilling to give up. "But my son—"

"Don't worry. When the police come and question you, just say you don't know what Dayong and Daqiang did. You haven't heard where Dayong and Daqiang went! You don't know Fan Xibei is dead! In short, just say you don't know anything!"

"Brother-in-law, what if the police really go into the mountains to arrest Dayong and Daqiang? What should we do?"

"What else can we do? If we can't catch them, they're lucky. If we do, they can say they went hunting in the mountains and didn't know Fan Xibei was dead. What does it have to do with them?" Fan Sanyuan shrugged.

"No, that's not right!" Wen Caixia shook her head. "Fan Xibei's death was indirectly caused by Dayong and Daqiang. Those two—"

"You said it yourself, it's indirect, not direct!" Fan Sanyuan squinted. "If we're really going to investigate, the first people to be held accountable are the people at the veterinary station. The second is Fan Xibei himself. Because if he hadn't asked to go to the veterinary station, he wouldn't have died. The third are the two villagers who took Fan Xibei to the veterinary station! And only lastly should we investigate Dayong and Daqiang!"

"So, in this whole affair, Dayong and Daqiang at most committed intentional assault, which has nothing to do with direct murder! Besides, why did Dayong and Daqiang cut Fan Xibei? Wasn't it because Fan Xibei was trying to harm Liu Bei's family? What Dayong and Daqiang did could be considered eliminating a scourge for the people. If the police understand this, they will handle the matter accordingly! If a sentence is to be handed down, it will be done judiciously!"

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Do as Liu Bei says!"

"But just in case, we should also do the other two things Liu Bei mentioned!"

Fan Sanyuan's eyebrows were furrowed very tightly.

"What are you doing?" Wen Caixia and the others asked eagerly.

"Make sure everyone in the village gives the same story. If the police come and question us, say that Dayong and Daqiang were only injured by Fan Xibei because they were protecting Liu Bei's family; it was purely an accident! Not murder!"

"I understand. Okay, let's do it this way!" Fan Sanyuan's brother-in-law suddenly realized and immediately agreed.

"I...I agree too!"

"Me too!"

……

In an instant, everyone except Wen Caixia supported Fan Sanyuan's actions.

Fan Sanyuan looked at Wen Caixia, "Caixia, do you have any other ideas?"

"I...I'm just worried!" Wen Caixia stammered.

"You have to trust me, whether you like it or not. There's no room for discussion. It's settled. Dazhuang, Tan Si, do as I say immediately! And be quick!"

"Okay!"

Nodding, Tan Si and Li Dazhuang ran out very quickly.

Fan Sanyuan looked up towards Mount Da Liu, "Da Yong, Da Qiang. This is all I can do to help you through this ordeal. Whether you can get through it safely depends on your fate!"

"Caixia, close the door. From today onwards, don't go anywhere! Stay home!"

"Okay...okay!" Wen Caixia said helplessly.

But upon closer reflection, she realized that Fan Sanyuan's words made a lot of sense.

Currently, Liu Bei's method is the most effective.

If the police come, just say you know nothing.

If the police find out that Dayong and Daqiang have run into Daliu Mountain, then let them go and arrest them. If they can't, then everything will be fine. If they do, at most they will only indirectly cause Fan Xibei's death, and they won't be considered the masterminds.

Soon, the entire village received the notification that Fan Xibei had attempted to murder Liu Bei's family. When Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang learned of this, the two brothers, enraged, killed Fan Xibei in defense of Liu Bei. Everyone immediately expressed their support for Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang, and then went back to do as the village secretary instructed.

As for Fan Xibei...

A scoundrel,

The village won't miss him, whether he's there or not.

So what if he's dead?

Nobody cares.

Besides, if Fan Xibei dared to steal Liu Bei's land use permit today, who knows what other people in the village might steal from him in the future.

For this scourge

It would be better if he were dead.

It will save more families from future harm.

……

Two hours later, officers from the Da Liu Town Police Station arrived.

They brought along the attending physician from the veterinary station, as well as two villagers from Fanjiacun.

Of course, Fan Xibei's body was also brought back.

Other than that,

They also brought a hunting dog.

Soon, the hunting dogs began searching the village.

After ten minutes,

The hunting dog appeared in a bamboo grove at the east end of the village.

There was a yellow dog lying there, sleeping.

"Woof woof~"

The hunting dogs barked loudly at their kind.

The police officers: "..."

"Woof woof~"

The dog was woken up and immediately started barking at the hunting dog.

"Woof woof~"

"Woof woof~"

The hunting dog seemed to be enraged and charged at the yellow dog with all its might.

"Captain... what does this mean?"

The police captain said, "That means that dog broke the law!"

"..."
