Chapter 702: Crimes Exposed

"Wang Dacheng, have you lost your mind? How dare you try to hit someone right in front of me?"

President Qu was furious.

He was still standing right here, and the man was already about to strike someone.

If he hadn’t been here, who knows how badly this young girl would have been bullied?

And to top it off, this man was a brigade leader.

He was a complete disgrace to his position.

It was then that Wang Dacheng’s senses returned.

"President Qu, I was just blinded by anger—"

"Blinded by anger? Did that girl say a single thing wrong? Her father left her that house. If it doesn’t go to his own daughter, who should it go to? You? And that marriage proposal—if you think it’s so great, why not have your own daughter do it? Why are you trying to force an orphan? You even locked her up for three days and three nights! Wang Dacheng, do you fancy yourself the local despot of your village?"

These words were very serious.

Wang Dacheng hadn’t been scared before, but now, hearing the accusations President Qu was leveling against him, he turned pale with fright.

"President Qu, you can’t just say things like that. I may not have done anything earth-shattering in the village over the years, but I’ve worked my fingers to the bone doing real work for the villagers. It’s one thing for you to say this, but how are the villagers supposed to feel about it?"

"Enough. Stop showing off the few characters you know. As of today, you’re done as brigade leader. Someone else will be sent to your village to take over. Furthermore, you are to return your niece’s house to her. Move out today. I don’t care if you have to do it overnight, it must be done."

Wang Dacheng: ? ...

His face alternated between pale and ashen.

He shot Wang Lihong a venomous glare.

’Has this damned girl grown a spine? How dare she pull a stunt like this on me.’

’And President Qu actually took her side.’

Just then, the police officer who had been gripping his wrist let go.

"Wang Dacheng, we received a report that your son broke into a home and murdered Wang Fugui from your village. You then covered for your son and buried the body. Now, please come with us."

When the police officer said this, both Dean Qu and Wang Lihong were stunned.

They hadn’t expected a murder to be involved.

As for Wang Dacheng, the moment the officer spoke, all the color drained from his face.

"I... I didn’t. This is a false accusation."

Then, as if realizing something, he glared viciously at Wang Lihong. "Was it you, you little bitch? Did you falsely accuse me?"

Wang Lihong was terrified by his ferocious glare.

She couldn’t help but take a large step back. "I... I didn’t—"

Of course, Wang Dacheng didn’t believe her.

’If it weren’t for this damned girl, how would the police ever have found out about our family’s business?’

’This damned girl must have known or seen something all along.’

’So damn calculating.’

’To think she held back all this time just to drop a bombshell like this on me.’

Overcome with rage, he lunged forward, intending to strangle her.

But he was immediately restrained by the police.

Wang Dacheng couldn’t break free at all.

"Officer, President Qu, I was just overwhelmed with anger! This damned girl—this Wang Lihong—is falsely accusing me, her own uncle! No one could stand for that. She’s viciously trying to ruin my family! Officer, you can’t just listen to her side of the story. I’m a brigade leader. Would I really do something so criminal?"

"She wasn’t the one who reported it. We received a tip. And we’ve already exhumed the victim’s buried remains. After comparison, we’ve confirmed they belong to Wang Dafu."

The body had been buried for two years and had decomposed, but Wang Dafu had a limp when he was alive, so the features were a perfect match.
