Chapter 439: The Vegetables Are Poisonous
"Something’s happened, the village chief’s in trouble, our vegetables have been found to be poisonous, and people have been hospitalized," a clamorous outcry arose in Xujia Village, accompanied by the sound of police sirens. Soon after, a group of officers charged in, heading straight for Village Chief Xu’s home.
"I can walk on my own," Mr. Xu stood in the yard, facing the police arrest with an unbending back, his expression unchanged.
It was Mrs. Xu who seemed as if the sky had fallen upon seeing this scene, sobbing and wailing at the group of officers, "Mr. Public Security, could there be some mistake? How does poisonous vegetables eaten by someone have anything to do with our family?
Our vegetables are organic, there are no pesticides. Have you got the wrong person?"
Mr. Public Security stood there, impartial and unyielding, "The vegetables in question come from your village. Please come with us for an investigation.
If it’s unrelated to you, you will naturally be allowed to go back."
"Honey, it’s okay, I’ll be back," Mr. Xu reassured his wife, confident in his integrity and unafraid of the investigation.
"Mom, it’s okay, we haven’t done anything, Dad will be back soon," Xu Ying furrowed her brows and approached Mrs. Xu to say.
Huo Chen looked at the officers, full of confusion, "The vegetables from our village are pesticide-free organic produce. They couldn’t possibly cause poisoning.
Could you have made a mistake? Maybe this person was triggered by something else they ate?"
