Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai's heart was pounding in his throat. He could see the source of the firelight; it was in the small ditch ahead. Close combat was a matter of life and death, so he had no choice but to gamble.

There was still some time before the homemade gun was loaded, so he twisted the throttle and sped off.

"Bang!"

The motorcycle's rear end slammed into the figure hiding in the ditch. The huge impact caused the motorcycle to lose control instantly, and Yang Bai and the motorcycle crashed heavily onto the muddy ground.

A sharp, piercing pain instantly swept through his body. The rough ground scraped his skin, blood streamed down his arm, his forehead hit the ground, and waves of dizziness surged up.

He braced himself on the ground for a long time before finally managing to stand up. The wound on his forehead throbbed with pain, and his legs felt numb and weak, causing him to walk with a limp.

He endured the aches and pains all over his body, and slowly moved to the edge of the ditch, looking down at the person inside who had been knocked unconscious.

By the faint moonlight, Yang Bai recognized the other person at a glance; they were villagers from Shatou Village.

He felt a sense of confusion.

Aside from the previous conflict involving the gathering of people from six villages, he had never provoked him privately from beginning to end.

How could she have gotten involved with Huang Juan and been plotting to steal the commissioner's clothes?

Shatou Village has only recently been partially unsealed. If he were to instruct the villagers to do it, they would not only gain nothing, but he would also definitely retaliate against Shatou Village in the strongest possible way.

Shatou Village will not do anything that is thankless and exhausting.

A jumble of thoughts churned in Yang Bai's mind, but he forced himself to suppress them.

Now is not the time to investigate further; let's take them back first.

He endured the aches and pains all over his body, tore off a strip of cloth on the spot, hastily bandaged the bleeding wound on his arm, and wiped the bump on his forehead.

He then took out a hemp rope, squatted down, and tightly bound the unconscious Shatou Village villager in the ditch, leaving him no chance to escape.

After dealing with the person, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to straighten the motorcycle that had fallen askew.

Insert the key and slam the start lever down.

A deep engine roared suddenly, and the car vibrated steadily. Yang Bai's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Thankfully, it could still be driven, saving him the trouble of finding someone to push the car.

He picked up the unconscious villager, carefully placed him on the back of the motorcycle and secured him, then returned to the ditch, picked up the bent and deformed homemade gun, and gathered up all the scattered bullets.

Yang Bai turned the car around and drove home overnight.

The atmosphere inside the house was oppressive. Su Wanqiu and Zhang Ning were still unsettled, their eyes lingering with fear, their shock yet to subside.

Qiaoqiao's eyes were red and swollen. She buried her head in Su Wanqiu's arms and fell into a deep sleep. Her body trembled slightly from time to time in her sleep.

The heaviest worry on their minds was Yang Bai, who was outside.

Just now, Yang Bai rode his bicycle alone to chase after the thugs who were armed with homemade guns. The two of them were uneasy, fearing that something unexpected might happen on the way. Their hearts were hanging in the air, and they could not calm down for a long time.

They could only stay quietly inside the house, waiting silently, every moment of waiting was extremely agonizing.

The roar of cars outside caused the two women to look up almost simultaneously.

Seeing Yang Bai covered in injuries, the two women couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhang Ning quickly got up and went out to help Yang Bai down.

"Yang Bai, how did you get so badly injured? Come inside quickly so I can see you."

By this time, the villagers had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Secretary Ma".

Yang Bai pointed to the unconscious murderer in the back seat of the car.

"He, you from Shatou Village, bring that bastard from Shatou Village over here and give him a proper explanation for what happened today."

"If I can't explain this clearly, tomorrow I'll make their village wish they were dead!"

Yang Bai clenched his fists, unable to suppress his anger any longer.

If it weren't for the militia guarding the gate, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The beast in the back seat was attacking his own family.

Yang Bai can mess with him, but if you harm even a single hair on his family's head, he'll make them wish they were dead!

"Huang Juan? Secretary Ma, I want to make it impossible for her to live in the village."

Even if she is convicted, her actions would only make her an accomplice, far from being a principal offender.

Letting her off like this is too lenient on her.

"Okay, Captain Chen, go to Shatou Village. Besides the team leader... no, you must get Hu Shaohua to come in person."

Ma Hou gave instructions to Chen Ruo, a young man in his thirties standing next to him.

He is the new acting team leader of the village, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be elected as the brigade leader at the end of the year.

He understood that Yang Bai was the most crucial figure in the village, and that if he wanted the villagers to vote for him, he had to rely closely on Yang Bai.

"Secretary Ma, I'll take care of it right away."

Chen Ruo led a group of people to Shatou Village.

"Yang Bai, don't say anything. Secretary Ma will take care of the rest. Hurry inside and I'll bandage you up. If it's serious, you'll have to go to the county hospital."

Zhang Ning gave instructions and helped Yang Bai inside.

Ma Hou was outside directing the interrogation of the prisoners.

Inside the house, Yang Bai took off his clothes, and Zhang Ning took the first-aid kit and applied disinfectant to Yang Bai's injured area.

They bandaged his body again.

After treating the minor injuries, Zhang Ning looked at his obviously dislocated right arm and said, "This is dislocated. I'll help you put it back in, but it will hurt a lot. Do you want to wear that bandage for a bit?"

"No need, just bring it on!"

Yang Bai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Zhang Ning had one hand on her shoulder and the other on her arm.

"click"

A sharp pain shot through Yang Bai's arm. He gritted his teeth, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Alright, Yang Bai."

Zhang Ning's eyes were filled with heartache.

Touching Yang Bai's head, he took several breaths before the pain gradually subsided.

Zhang Ning pointed to his bruised and swollen right calf and said, "I'm not entirely sure about the injury here. It's best to go to the county hospital and get an X-ray to confirm."

Just then, a shout rang out from the courtyard.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang."

Yang Jun rushed over and, upon seeing Yang Bai covered in wounds, his heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward and asked urgently.

"Brother Yang, how is it?"

He heard the gunshot clearly last night and rushed to the brigade to inquire about the news.

Only then did he realize that a thief had broken into the yard to steal. Yang Bai chased after him on his bicycle alone, and the thief even pulled out a homemade gun and opened fire.

I have never seen Yang Bai suffer such serious injuries before.

Yang Bai shook his head. "It's nothing, I just crashed my bike. Everyone's been apprehended. Take me to the county hospital."

Zhang Ning quickly stepped forward and reached out to help Yang Bai up.

Yang Jun quickly stepped forward and suggested, "That motorcycle outside looks pretty badly damaged. How about we take the tractor over?"

Yang Bai nodded slightly.

The motorcycle can barely start, but it just had a heavy fall, and there's no guarantee that the engine won't malfunction. If it stalls halfway through, it will only add to the trouble.

"I'll go with you," Zhang Ning said softly. "When we see the doctor, I can explain your injuries, and I can also take care of you on the way."

Upon arriving outside the courtyard, Yang Bai spoke to Ma Hou.

"I need to go to the county hospital to have Hu Shaohua come here. If I can find out the whole story, I'd appreciate it if Secretary Ma could send someone over to explain it to me."
