Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

She knew that Yan Wenxuan's sudden visit was definitely not a good thing! So, he said, "Yan Wenxuan just said that you saw Xu Yan beat him last night. The secretary is looking for you to verify. If you don't go, the secretary may come to pick you up in person!"

Several young men tried to pull her out. Zhong Qingqing said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go with you, okay?" She glanced at Yan Wenxuan sternly, and she could only follow them out.

When she got home early in the morning, Zhong Qingqing felt that what happened last night would not end so easily, and Yan Wenxuan would definitely go to the secretary to make trouble. She originally thought that the matter would stop at finding Xu Yan and being taken back to the county town, because the villagers said that he would be sent to prison, and there would be no more exposure about the incident last night.

But why did they ask her to testify now? Walking on the road to Xu's house, she secretly imagined all the possibilities.

Having Zhong Qingqing come forward to testify undoubtedly proves that she met Yan Wenxuan at the entrance of the village after the meeting last night. She is already notorious, and now no one will look at her with ordinary eyes. This time, coupled with the influence of Yan Wenxuan, her life in the village will only be more difficult in the future.

When she thought of this, the anger in her heart was as uncomfortable as a worm, but she could do nothing about it. Many people gathered at the entrance of the village and blocked the door of Xu's house. Zhong Qingqing looked at the huge crowd from afar and couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Qingqing, explain it clearly to the branch secretary." A group of people came into the house. Yan Wenxuan showed his red and swollen hands in front of everyone and glared at Xu Yan, who had a wooden face.

"I did see him last night." She responded tremblingly, secretly glancing at the expressions of Xu Yan and the branch secretary. Seeing their complicated expressions, she lowered her head slightly and said, "It was just very dark at the time..."

"You were just there and didn't see clearly what happened?" asked the village chief Su Yang doubtfully.

At this time, she carefully observed everyone's expression, and her mind quickly turned over her thoughts, looking for the most reasonable answer. She knew Xu Yan's ability very well. He could own two luxury cars, which was enough to show how different he was from other villagers. She also knew Yan Wenxuan's style very well. Unless she had to, she would never go along with him.

"Zhong Qingqing is clearly right next to us, and you say you can't see her?" Yan Wenxuan asked provocatively.

Yan Wenxuan was already anxious, and calling Zhong Qingqing was his last resort. When he heard that Zhong Qingqing had no intention of testifying for him, he suddenly became furious and tried to push Zhong Qingqing with his injured hand. Fortunately, a young man nearby quickly blocked him.

"What's going on?" Secretary Wang frowned and scolded Yan Wenxuan harshly, then turned to Zhong Qingqing and asked, "He said you also saw the village entrance last night. What were you doing there? Why didn't you go back to the dormitory to rest in the middle of the night?"

Secretary Wang's words once again aroused the curiosity of the people nearby. Several educated youths who had gone to the countryside were also among the crowd watching.

"What else can we do? It's obvious that we're having a tryst."

The rumor in the village that Yan Wenxuan and Zhong Qingqing had a secret meeting in the dilapidated temple had long been spread, and everyone knew about it. Now, when the female educated youth said this, the onlookers couldn't help but talk about it.

Zhong Qingqing wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and get back to business!" Interrupting the chaos, the village chief Su Yang glanced at Yan Wenxuan: "Besides Zhong Qingqing, is there anyone else who can testify for you?"

"I believe Xu Yan did not attack Yan Wenxuan." Su Wanwan's sudden statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Not to mention his good deeds to the villagers in the past, even if we only look at his quality, every time he speaks I want to slap him in the face. How many of his words can be trusted?" Su Wanwan immediately raised the question, which drew the approval of the crowd.

"Besides, if this really happened, why did he choose to attack your wrist? I have never seen anyone who can injure someone's wrist like this. How about we all recreate the scene?" Her words sounded premeditated and went straight to Yan Wenxuan.

"Su Wanwan! You..." Yan Wenxuan hesitated to speak. He suddenly realized that he was in Xu's house and there was no one else in the house except Secretary Wang and the village chief.

As the daughter of the village chief, if she revealed what happened last night, the village chief and Secretary Wang might not punish Xu Yan in order to protect her!

"Is there no reason to touch wrists in a fight? Don't you know what my physique is like? I'm like this after just a little pulling. With no other witnesses or evidence, are you just going to let me suffer this injustice? Village chief, can't you say a fair word for me?" Her tone was strong and tolerant of rebuttal.

"You said I can be fair, but you also have to let us know that it was indeed him who hit you, right?" After saying that, the village chief frowned and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

"Forget it, stop watching and go back to work in the fields. There's nothing interesting about this kind of excitement." After he said that, the crowd began to disperse.

"Village chief, you can't just let this go. If you attack someone for no reason, isn't that bullying? What if we get beaten up one day? If we get hurt and have to hold our breath and come to you for mediation, won't we become easy prey?"

How could the villagers, whose emotions had been aroused in advance, leave so easily? They all stayed where they were and refused to move.

"That's right. Some people work from sunrise to sunset and can't even afford to eat and wear after toiling for a year. Some guys can make a fortune by dealing in dishonest things without even having the chance to go to jail. They can just go to the county to relax for a few days and come back like it's a vacation. Is there any fairness in this society?"

A villager's bitter complaint was originally directed at a specific group of people, but it instantly perked up Zhong Qingqing.

I heard Xu Yan is safe?

The county has given up investigating the fact that Xu Yan suddenly owned two cars? This seemed to confirm her guess that Xu Yan was indeed quite capable!

Zhong Qingqing lowered her eyes slightly, then suddenly raised them and looked up: "Secretary, I remember!"

"Remember what?"

"What happened last night... seems to be different from what Yan Wenxuan said just now. I seemed to vaguely see that he was the first to take action. He wanted to steal Xu Yan's money."

Yan Wenxuan didn't expect that he wanted Zhong Qingqing to stand up as a witness to defend him, but she stabbed him in the back instead. He angrily retorted: "Zhong Qingqing, do you still have any shame? I've become like this, and you say this for Xu Yan?"

The shock caused by these words was so great that everyone around was stunned and silent for a moment.

Zhong Qingqing chose to protect Xu Yan when he hurt Yan Wenxuan because she loved him, right?! Then how do you explain the relationship between them?

She gritted her teeth and decided to uncover the truth once and for all.

"Actually, last night, when I was at the medical center, I received a threatening note from Yan Wenxuan, asking me to wait for him outside the village, otherwise he would make me very sad. So I went, but he said that life was hard and he needed money. I didn't have any extra to give him, and when I saw Xu Yan coming back, he wanted to steal Xu Yan's money, but was stopped by Xu Yan. As a result, he may have lost control of his strength, which led to his hand injury."
