nChapter 107 Crazy Woman

nGu Jincheng paused for a moment before he turned around. “You’d better be telling the truth.” He looked like he did not trust her, but the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

nSu Shanshan lay beside him. Although it was the end of the world, she was very relieved. The two of them looked at the roof and did not speak anymore, enjoying the silence and warmth between them.

nBut good times were always short-lived. Suddenly there was a series of tapping sounds outside the window, like the muffled sound of a stick hitting someone. This sound continued for a long time. Su Shanshan got up and gently opened the window. It was only a crack, and it was too dark to see anything. All she could see were a few dark figures moving.

nJust as Su Shanshan was about to jump out of the window, Gu Jincheng grabbed her from behind. He shook his head at Su Shanshan, signaling her not to do anything rash.

nSu Shanshan suppressed her impulse and calmed down. She continued to look out the window. Although it was dark, she could tell that these people were holding a strange ceremony.

nA sudden whistle interrupted those people. They were looking for something in a panic.

nAt this moment, their door suddenly opened and a woman with disheveled hair rushed in. She was carrying a cloth bag. When she opened the door, she wanted to pull Su Shanshan off the bed, but she was kicked away.

nThe woman looked horrified and stammered something

n“What are you trying to say?” Su Shanshan asked.

nThe woman pointed at her mouth. Looking at it, Su Shanshan realized that her tongue had been cut off.

nThe door opened again. It was Wang Da who had barged into her room with his men. Before they entered, the woman stuffed the package under the bed.

nWhen Wang Da saw the woman in the room, his expression changed and he got someone to arrest her.

nSu Shanshan wanted to stop him but was stopped by Wang Da. He chuckled and said, “This woman is the crazy woman in our village. She accidentally ran out and disturbed you. I’m really sorry.”

nThe person Wang Da brought over said something in his ear. Wang Da frowned and looked back at the woman on the ground. Seeing that there was nothing on her, he said with an ugly expression, “Search!”

nOther than the two men who were restraining the woman, the rest of the young people rushed into the room. The small room was instantly filled with people. Su Shanshan stood in front of Gu Jincheng. “Uncle Wang, what are you planning to do?”

nWang Da no longer had a smile on his face. A hint of gloominess appeared on his face as he said, “This woman stole something from the village. We want to check if it’s in the room. Please accommodate us.”

nHe waved at the young men who moved instantly to rummage around the room. The woman who had been pressed to the ground watched them nervously.

nSu Shanshan did not stop them and brought Gu Jincheng out of the room.

nJust as they were leaving, the young men in the village were looking under the bed. They checked carefully and said, “Village Chief, there’s nothing here.”

nWhen the woman heard this, she inexplicably relaxed and sat on the ground suddenly.

nWang Da glanced at her, and his gaze deepened. He looked at the two of them at the door. Gu Jincheng was sitting in a wheelchair with his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking, but Su Shanshan’s eyes met Wang Da’s gaze directly.

nWang Da waved his hand again and asked his subordinates to take this woman away.

nThe woman struggled for a while and lowered her head as if she had resigned to her fate. Without making a sound or resisting, she let the young men drag her away.

nWang Da’s gaze still did not leave Su Shanshan. His eyes were full of suspicion and inquiry.

n“Could Uncle Wang be suspecting that we stole something from the village?” Su Shanshan asked.

nWang Da laughed out loud. “Of course not. I’m afraid that crazy woman will leave something with you. That thing is very important to the village. Why don’t you let us search for it?”

n
