Chapter 703: It's All Over

Wang Dacheng’s eyes were wide with shock.

He never expected the police to be so fast.

‘How long have I even been at the commune office?’

‘And the police have already gone to our village and dug up the body?’

“No, that’s impossible. You must have made a mistake—”

‘I absolutely cannot admit to this.’

“Wang Dacheng, you can save it for the police station. Now, you’re coming with me.”

The officer didn’t waste any more words on him.

They simply cuffed him and took him away.

The color drained from Wang Dacheng’s face. ‘It’s over. It’s all over.’

President Qu’s expression was also incredibly grim.

To think that such a vicious murder had occurred right in his commune.

And he hadn’t noticed a single thing.

If this was true, it would have to be dealt with severely.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the fury boiling inside him.

He had to quickly find someone to select a temporary brigade leader for Wang Family Village, otherwise the whole place would descend into chaos.

He turned his head and saw the dazed-looking Wang Lihong—he had almost forgotten about her.

His voice softened slightly. “Comrade Wang Lihong, we will investigate your matter thoroughly. If what you said is true, we will see that justice is done for you.”

Wang Lihong immediately snapped back to her senses and said quickly, “Thank you, President Qu. My requests are simple. I don’t want to marry into the Li Family. My eldest uncle’s wife accepted their betrothal gift, and I’m afraid the Li Family won’t just let the matter drop. Also, about the house in the village… I’ve found a job in the city. In the future, I’ll only return to pay my respects to my grandfather and parents, so I’d like to sell the house.”

President Qu was also shocked to hear this.

‘This girl is impressive! She found a job in the city so quickly.’

‘Could it have been Qin Wenhao who helped her?’

‘On second thought, that makes sense. Only Qin Wenhao is that capable.’

“—Alright, I understand your requests. I’ll have someone take care of them for you when the time comes.”

“Thank you, President Qu.” Wang Lihong was overjoyed. She bowed directly to President Qu.

Her action startled President Qu, and he quickly stopped her.

“Don’t do that. It’s a new era, we don’t do this anymore.”

President Qu had originally wanted to ask about her relationship with Qin Wenhao.

He wasn’t thinking of a romantic relationship, since, as far as he knew, Qin Wenhao had married and had children long ago.

‘It must be some other kind of relationship. A fairly close one, at that.’

Otherwise, there was no way Qin Wenhao would go to such great lengths to help this girl.

‘That Wang Fugui has been dead for so long. Why was his body reported and dug up just now?’

‘If someone told me Qin Wenhao didn’t have a hand in this, I wouldn’t believe it for the life of me.’

He thought for a moment. “Since you’re going to report to the factory in the city, have you gotten all the other necessary documents? You should take your grain ration transfer papers with you too! It’ll save you another trip.”

“Didn’t you also say you won’t be coming back to Wang Family Village? Then you should also go to the police station to get a certificate to transfer your household registration. I’ll have Xiao Zhang go with you to get it done.”

‘She’s on good terms with Qin Wenhao, so I should do her a favor.’

Wang Lihong hadn’t expected this President Qu to be so kind.

She immediately bowed to him again. “Thank you, President Qu.”

President Qu: …?

‘Why does this girl love bowing so much?’

He called out, “Xiao Zhang, come in for a moment.”

Xiao Zhang walked in quickly. “President Qu, what is it?”

“Accompany her to the police station and get her household registration sorted out. She needs to report to a factory in the city tomorrow, and this is required.”

Xiao Zhang froze for a second, then nodded quickly. “Okay.”

Then he turned to Wang Lihong and said, “Comrade, please come with me now. We’re going to the police station.”
