Recently, Gu Jia Ning also called to tell her family that Sheng Ze Xi had been promoted to regimental-level cadre, so the Gu Family knew.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhou mentioning Sheng Ze Xi immediately intimidated those people.
The villagers also spoke up.
“Officer Sheng personally came to propose marriage and gave a lot of dowry, showing how much he valued Ningning and the Gu family's marriage.”
“Yes, if he knew the Gu family was treated like this, he would be very angry.”
“A regimental-level cadre, that must be a very high-ranking officer.”
The people from the unit also hesitated, and the leader stepped forward with a hesitant expression.
“But we also received an anonymous report, and the proper procedures must still be followed.”
At this time, Father Gu stepped forward, “Gentlemen, we understand your difficulties and are willing to cooperate. The procedures can be followed, but please be gentle during the search.”
Actually, Father Gu knew that once these people came, it would be unlikely to get them to leave.
But Father Gu also knew, and had even witnessed, how these people searched; it was like locusts or bandits sweeping through.
He didn't want his home to be turned upside down.
Seeing Father Gu agree, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, that’s settled then.”
So, after Father Gu agreed and the Gu family members made way, they immediately went in to search.
At this time, the villagers stepped forward.
“Village Chief, how can you let them in?”
“I don’t know which heartless person dared to harm you, Village Chief. They are truly unconscionable.”
“They shouldn’t be allowed in. What if they find something…”
At this time, Father Gu stepped forward and said to everyone, “Neighbors, you all know what kind of person Gu Chunsheng is; I have a clear conscience.” Saying this, he walked into the house, and the other members of the Gu family followed.
Father Gu was composed, but the villagers still had doubts. If this were true, it would mean they were framed.
However, no one said anything else, and they all followed in to see the results of the search.
Wen Zhuqing was also hidden in the crowd. Listening to Father Gu's words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, full of sarcasm.
His gaze searched ahead, and he quickly found Yang Manman.
He held the package of medicine in his hand and slowly walked forward.
Yang Manman followed her family inside, anxiously awaiting the results.
Although her family had anticipated this last night and knew there would be no problem, facing this situation still made Yang Manman unconsciously nervous and anxious.
Just then, someone behind her seemed to rush forward and directly bumped into Yang Manman.
The collision wasn't very hard, but Yang Manman, caught off guard, stumbled to the side.
“Manman!” An exclamation arose, and Gu Yunting, who had been beside her, immediately supported Yang Manman.
“Manman, are you alright?” Gu Yunting anxiously asked.
Yang Manman was startled, but thankfully she was caught in time. Seeing her husband, her heart relaxed.
She knew that Gu Yunting had been by her side this morning.
“I'm fine.”
After making sure his wife was okay, Gu Yunting turned his anger on the person who had bumped into her.
He stepped forward, pushed Wen Zhuqing to the ground, and angrily asked, “Wen Zhiqing, why did you bump into Manman? Were you intentional? She’s pregnant. Were you trying to kill her?”
Wen Zhuqing, pushed to the ground, was a little dazed.
He only felt that his buttocks, which had been hurt after being pushed by Liu Yuan, hadn't fully recovered, and now it hurt terribly again.
Before he could react, Gu Yunting grabbed his collar and half-lifted him, then a fist landed on his cheek.
Gu Yunting gave him a solid punch.
This punch caused Wen Zhuqing to cry out in pain.
At this time, the people around also reacted and rushed to stop him.
Bao Shan Yan also stepped forward to stop him, “What are you doing? Why are you hitting someone?”
Although Bao Shan Yan didn't know when Wen Zhuqing appeared, she came to watch the commotion.
But Wen Zhuqing was her husband, and anyone but her could hit him; otherwise, it would be a slap in her face.
Gu Yunting snorted coldly, “Ask him what he did. Manman is pregnant, and he deliberately bumped into her. If Manman had fallen, what would have happened to her and the baby? Was Wen Zhuqing trying to intentionally murder Manman and the baby in her womb?”
“I saw it. It was indeed Wen Zhiqing who bumped into Manman.”
“Yes, Manman almost fell.”
“Oh my, Manman's belly is so big; if she fell, it would be dangerous.”
Some people had seen what happened and now spoke up for Gu Yunting.
Any man would be angry if his pregnant wife was almost knocked down.
Just punching Wen Zhuqing was considered light.
Bao Shan Yan glared angrily at Wen Zhuqing.
Wen Zhuqing reacted; many people had seen it, so he could only say in pain, “I didn’t do it on purpose; it was an accident.”
Bao Shan Yan immediately said, “Yes, it was an accident.”
Gu Yunting snorted, “Just because he says it wasn’t intentional doesn’t make it so? Luckily Manman is okay, or I would have beaten him to death.”
After saying this, Gu Yunting protected Yang Manman and walked to a less crowded area.
Others also rushed forward to see the results of the search.
Bao Shan Yan kicked Wen Zhuqing on his buttocks, “Get up, you're making a fool of yourself. Why did you even come out?”
Wen Zhuqing cried out in pain again.
Bao Shan Yan's kick happened to hit his injured area, and Bao Shan Yan was strong; her kick was not light.
Wen Zhuqing was now suffering from injury upon injury and pain upon pain.
Fortunately, a male intellectual youth from the Intellectual Youth Point saw this and helped him up.
As for the female intellectual youths, Liu Juan and others dared not.
If before, they had feelings for Wen Zhuqing, now Wen Zhuqing was married, and his wife was like a bandit, or even a madman—a very strong Bao Shan Yan—they didn't dare to confront her.
So their feelings for Wen Zhuqing had long since disappeared.
Although Wen Zhiqing had a handsome face, they needed their lives to appreciate it.
“Useless thing.”
After Wen Zhuqing was helped up, Bao Shan Yan scolded him again, then ignored him and pushed through the crowd to watch.
Wen Zhuqing looked at Bao Shan Yan's back, his gaze falling on Gu Yunting and Yang Manman in a corner; a dark and cruel look flashed in his eyes.
Soon, soon.
As long as those people found the forbidden books, he would see how the Gu family would still act arrogantly.
He looked forward to seeing them, one by one, frightened and terrified.
And Yang Manman…
Wen Zhuqing stuffed the empty paper shell into his pocket.
