Chapter 401 - 402: The Secret in the Village
Village Chief Liu shook his head upon hearing this, "Liu Dashan’s mother is a midwife, and there are always people looking for her every day. I really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Since you suspect that your stepmother is responsible, you should investigate her. Why bother coming to our village?"
Just as Zhou Zheyuan was about to speak,
Huo Chen quickly grabbed him, feigning a sudden realization, and said to Village Chief Liu, "It’s true what they say about a village chief, always quick on the uptake. How come my uncle and I never thought of that?
Sigh, they say that military folks are all rough and simple, and it turns out to be true. Uncle, you’re even a regiment commander, but all you’ve got is brute strength and no clue about anything else."
Village Chief Liu’s face changed at Huo Chen’s words, and he immediately waved his hand at the people behind him, signaling them to retreat quickly.
He hadn’t expected the man before him to be a regiment commander in the military, a position not of a minor rank. Luckily they hadn’t taken any action just now.
Otherwise, the situation would surely have escalated. Someone like a regiment commander suddenly disappearing, the higher-ups would certainly stir up a big fuss.
Third Uncle Zhou wasn’t a fool and naturally understood his nephew’s intent. He chuckled and nodded, looking at Village Chief Liu, "Thank you for the reminder, Chief. We’ll be heading back then."
Zhou Zheyuan’s face was full of confusion, still seething with anger by the time he got into the car, "Uncle, why did we leave just like that? Without someone from the Liu Dashan family to identify Zhang Yuhua, we have no way to deal with her.
