He has a criminal record? Hes likely not a good guy!

Wang Yao increased his wariness of this guy in question.

In the afternoon, he was on the hill digging pits at the specified locations. He only needed to wait for Chen Kun to deliver the trees that he had ordered so that he could plant them.

The next day, Chen Kun delivered a truck of plants to the hill.

Do you need help? After unloading the plants, Chen Kun offered. He was very experienced in the planting of botanicals.

Theres no need. I can do it myself. Would you like to come to my cottage to have a cup of tea?

He invited Chen Kun and his two companions into his cottage.

West Lake Longjing, Qimen black tea, Huangshan Maojian. Tsk tsk. You have so much good tea! Chen Kun exclaimed.

They are gifts from my friends.

Tastes good; its such an enjoyment!

When Chen Ku left, Wang Yao planted the shrubs. It was a substantial number. These shrubs look small. However, it was not easy planting them because the location in which to plant them were in different areas. It was not something that could be completed in a day.

At noontime, Wang Yao did not go down the hill for lunch but had a casual lunch on the hill and then continued with his chores until the afternoon. When the sky darkened, he went down the hill.

Upon returning home, as he was helping his mother with the clearing of the dishes, he noticed that his mother limped when she walked.

Whats wrong, Mom? Wang Yao asked hastily.

Nothing. I accidentally fell.

Why so careless? Let me take a look. Wang Yao quickly examined her. There was a slight abrasion on her leg and a little discolorationnothing major. Wang Yao was relieved.

Good that you are okay.

As they were eating, someone knocked on the door and entered the house. It was Wang Fengmings wife, and she brought some stuff with her.

Sister, are you okay?

I am okay. Xiangcui, come and sit down, Zhang Xiuying smiled and remarked. You dont have to bring anything when you visit!

Im glad you are okay. I think that person did it on purpose; his bike was speeding so quickly, Wang Fengmings wife, Xiangcui, replied.

On purpose!? Riding a bike! Wang Yao was shocked upon hearing her. He raised his head and saw his mother lightly nudge Wang Fengmings wife. The latter noticed the awkwardness and quickly changed the subject.

Aunt, stay here and chat with Mom. Mom, Dad, I am going up the hill.

Okay, take care.

Mrs. Wang, Yao doesnt know about this? the conversation in Wang Yaos house continued.

Yes, I was afraid to tell him. He might go looking for the person.

After he left the house, Wang Yao did not rush up the hill. Instead, he went to Wang Fengmings house.

Uncle, are you home?

Yao, come inside and have a seat! Wang Fengming hurriedly came out when he saw that it was Wang Yao. He invited him into the house and served him tea and water.

Uncle, dont bother. Are you feeling better?

After I took the decoction you gave me, I feel much better, Wang Fengming smiled and replied.

Uncle, I have something to ask you. Please tell me the truth.

What is it?

My mother fell today. Was it really an accident or was she knocked down by someone?

Wang Fengming hesitated for a moment.

She was knocked over by a motorist.

Who?

Dont know. I heard your aunt say it was a worker in the newly opened factory, Wang Fengming commented.

Where did it happen?

North of the village, on the bridge. She almost fell into the river.

Okay, I got it. Thank you, Uncle. Wang Yaos face was calm. Dont tell my Mom and Dad that I came.

Hey, Yao. Dont do anything rash!

I know, Uncle, Wang Yaos face had a smile and was seemingly calm.

After leaving Wang Fengmings house, Wang Yao went to the north of the village in the military unit quarters. There was a CCTV, and someone was on duty in the quarters. Usually nobody was on duty; however, it happened that Wang Jiangang was on duty that day. It was only by coincidence that he was there.

Are you busy, Sir?

Yao, why are you here?

I want to take a look at the village CCTV. In the day, someone knocked down my mother, Wang Yao calmly responded.

Really? Who?

I dont know, thats why I came here to check.

Wang Jiangang pulled out the image and checked the tape. He was able to find the exact scene very quickly. A speeding motorbike drove very close to a person. It was obvious that the close proximity was deliberate. If Zhang Xiuying had not dodged, she would not merely have been scrapped.

This guy?! Wang Yao squinted. Li Dong! He can go to hell!

Thanks, Sir, Wang Yao calmly said.

Hey, listen to my advice. Dont do anything stupid, Wang Jiangang advised him.

After a few occasions of interaction with this seemingly reasonable young man, Wang Jiangang had an idea of his personality.

Previously, due to a clash of merely words and threats, he had caused Wang Yide to be detained in the police station, resulting in him suffering for half a month. Wang Yide had now scooted far away whenever he saw Wang Yao, like what a mouse would do when it saw a cat. Now, this outsider had scrapped Wang Yaos motherwhat would become of him?!

Yao, dont do anything rash, okay?

Sir, I know what to do.

It was already 9 pm at night when Wang Yao left the military unit quarters in the north of the village. Wang Yao went straight to the factory.

The workers had already gotten off work. There was still light inside, and a vague silhouette of a hulking, tall shadow could be seen.

Woof, woof, woof! As Wang Yao got closer, the guard dog in the courtyard started barking fiercely.

Wang Yao tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.

Hearing the dog bark, the big guy inside the factory walked out. Raising his head and seeing Wang Yao, he took a metal pipe lying beside the wall.

Separated by a metal door, the two of them stared at each other.

You knocked down my mother earlier today? Wang Yaos voice was calm. His inner Qi had already started flowing like a rapid river.

Yes, thats because your mother doesnt look where shes walking! Li Dong replied.

This was a blatant challenge and a threat.

Wang Yao did not respond.

His hands strongly pounded at the metal door, producing a huge bang, thump and creak. The double metal doors were forced open, and the metal lock had broken.

Woof! The dog that was chained up bounded rapidly to the commotion.

Howl! A dismal howl rang out as the dog flew and hit the wall, never to clamber back up again.

Li Dong rolled up the metal pipe and tried to hit Wang Yao. His stare was furious. Wang Yao dodged the metal pipe and swiftly surged ahead with his fists, ferocious and violent.

It was not Tai Chi, but Baji. The fists were unyielding and violent.

Crash! The big guy flew out, and the metal pipe clanked onto the ground. Thump. The man landed on the ground as well. He clambered up while clutching his stomach. He glared at Wang Yao ferociously as though he were a wolf about to eat a man.

This was a wicked and unrighteous mana scourge!

Li Dong staggered with the metal pipe and attempted to hit Wang Yao again. Wang Yao stepped a pace forward with both his fists moving.

It was not a move to accomplish a great task with little effort using a clever maneuver, but a great maneuver to hit a small item.

Li Dong had barely stabilized himself before he flew across the room and landed at the edge of the wall. He struggled and could barely stand up, similar to the ferocious dog in the other corner.

Wang Yao calmly took out his phone and dialed a number.

In the middle of the night, an ambulance and a police cars sirens disrupted the peace of the village.

Drink some water. In the town police station, a policeman poured a glass of water for Wang Yao.

The policeman had received a call from the Station Commander. His instructions were clear, this young man named Wang Yao was not to suffer at the police station.

In fact, the policeman had seen Wang Yao before. Once, Wang Yao had come with Wang Mingbao. He was very clear who Wang Mingbao washe was the mayors son. With this level of connection, Wang Yao only needed to record a statement.

Wang Yaos parents were very worried. As soon as they came to know of the matter, they rushed to the police station.

Mom and Dad, go home to rest. I will handle this.

Youll handle this? You dont think when you do things! Wang Fenghua rebuked. Evidently, he was furious.

Since Wang Yao left the house, his parents were very anxious. When they received Wang Jiangangs call saying that Wang Yao had come during the night to look at what happened during the day on the CCTV and saw the scene of Zhang Xiuying being knocked over, his parents knew something bad would happen and swiftly rushed out. They were too late.

Wang Yao was silent throughout.

When Wang Mingbao received the call, he immediately rushed to the police station.

Wheres that person?

In the hospital, said Wang Yao.

He deserves it! Wang Mingbao remarked.

The man was currently still in the emergency ward of the county hospital. He had three broken ribs and both his arms had multiple fractures. His internal organs were also bleeding.

Based on this guys injury, was he hit by a car?

He was beaten up by a person.

What? Beaten up to this extent?!

After the statement was made and after someone became his guarantor, Wang Yao could temporarily go home for the day. However, he would be on a subpoena.

When he got back, he was reprimanded by his parents. It was late in the middle of the night before he could rest.

The next day, the town police station suddenly received a call, and the policemen hurriedly drove to the village to summon Wang Yao to the police station. Subsequently, after they had arrived, two of the county policemen had come.

Wang Yao? The head of polices demeanor was unfriendly.

Yes.

This case will be handled by the county police station. You are suspected of assaulting someone. Come with us to assist in the investigation.

Okay. Wang Yao was very cooperative and went with them to the county police station.

The police car drove at high speed. The three of them in the car were stone-faced and did not speak, as though other people owed them a lot of money. In a flash, they reached the county bureau of public security, and Wang Yao was escorted out of the car. They happened to meet with a group of people, and one of them was a smaller built, middle-aged man.

Eh? This man inadvertently saw Wang Yao and was stunned.

Deputy County Chief, whats the matter? the deputy director saw him halt and hastily came forward to enquire.

Whats happening to that young man? At his words, the deputy director immediately went forward to enquire and then came back to report.

His name is Wang Yao, suspected of assault.

Okay. As law enforcement officers, you must uphold justice. Do not miss catching the bad guys and do not wrong the innocent, said the deputy county chief.

Yes, yes. The deputy director nodded his head promptly.

After seeing off the deputy county chief, the deputy director immediately turned and walked back into the police station.
