Li Chenmo lowered his head, looked at the way their fingers were intertwined, and smiled. Just as they were enjoying their sweet moment, the villagers in the neighboring production team were awakened by the commotion near the abandoned granary.
"Stop running, or we will shoot!" a police officer yelled as he chased a man who was running fast in panic.
As the man ran, he kept turning back and shouting, "I didn’t do it! You got the wrong person!"
BANG!
"Argh!" The man screamed and fell to the ground. He was shot in the thigh by the officers.
Before he could stand up, the police had already caught up with him and restricted his movement.
"Sun Gang, you are arrested for a murder attempt." The officer said as he put handcuffs on him.
"Let me go! You found the wrong person, it wasn’t me!" Sun Gang shouted while struggling.
"We already have evidence of your crime, you’d better follow us obediently!"
The officer pulled him up from the ground and took him to the county town police station. When Sun Gang walked past the abandoned granary, he saw a group of people peeking at him from the window. His eyes turned red when he saw the man with scars on his face.
At first, the man gave him 100 yuan to cover up his crime. He thought it was just a small thing and agreed to take responsibility. But when police said he was suspected of attempted murder, he understood the situation and ran away due to fear. The penalty for attempted murder is a lifetime prison! He cannot waste his life for others.
Suddenly he struggled and shouted, "It was them! It was those people in the abandoned granary who did it! I was slandered!"
When Brother Wang and his party heard this, they were stunned and quickly ran towards the mountain. When the officers saw them running away, they chased them, leaving one officer behind to guard Sun Gang.
Seeing them running away like startled birds, Sun Gang was satisfied. Since they dared to lie and use him as a scapegoat, they can only blame themselves for being brought down by him!
After two hours of pursuit, the officers finally captured Brother Wang and his cronies. The villagers were stunned as they watched them being pushed into the police truck. Except for Brother Wang, everyone in the group lives in this village. Their families were shocked when they saw they were arrested.
"Husband! Where do you want to take my husband away?!" a woman shouted while chasing the police truck.
When the villagers saw the woman, one of them said, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t run with your condition. What would you do if something went wrong with the baby in your belly because of running?"
