Chapter 78: The Person is Quite Nice

Guo Fu called Liu Yang over.

He briefly explained the situation to Liu Yang, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

The implication was that Liu Yang had failed to properly manage this batch of educated youth, resulting in such an incident.

Liu Yang, who had been woken up groggily, was still a bit dazed. Upon hearing about the incident, he became even more confused.

Liu Yang even wondered if he had just slept too soundly, or if he was dreaming.

Instinctively, he pinched his own face. The sharp pain brought him back to reality, and only then did he start to slowly process what the village head, Guo Fu, had just told him.

Had the village head just said that Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan had been caught in one of the village’s abandoned houses, in a compromising position?

And that there were suspicions Lu Xingguang had assaulted Zhao Sulan, who was in a poor mental state and seemed to have taken some kind of drug?

Then Lu Xingguang had his head smashed in, and both he and Zhao Sulan had been caught in the act by multiple people…

The content was a lot for Liu Yang to digest.

On the other side, many of the other educated youths, both male and female, had also come out.

If Liu Yang was somewhat shocked by what Guo Fu had said, he was now starting to accept it as he saw Zhao Sulan being supported by two women, and Lu Xingguang being held up by two men.

“Lu Xingguang doesn’t seem like the kind of person, though. It seems like he doesn’t like Zhao Sulan.”

“When did they leave?”

“It seems like Lu Xingguang wasn’t around during dinner, right?”

“Zhao Sulan left during dinner and even had a bit of a quarrel with Su Niannian.”

“By the way, where are Su Niannian and the others? It seems like no one from their house has come out.”

A number of the educated youths were discussing what exactly had happened.

Zhao Sulan was being supported, while the area was lit mainly by kerosene lamps, candles, and flashlights.

At this moment, there were unknown fluids on Zhao Sulan’s face, mixed with dirt and dust, making her look quite dirty.

There was some unknown liquid around her mouth, along with saliva dripping down, making the sight somewhat disgusting.

“Lu Xingguang!! I’m going to kill you!!”

At that moment, Sun Siyuan, from the crowd, suddenly shouted angrily.

Seeing the woman, he liked in such a state, hearing the discussions around him, and listening to the village head Guo Fu’s words, Sun Siyuan was now consumed with rage, as if he had been set on fire.

He had taken a liking to Zhao Sulan, not just because her family seemed well-off, but also because he was attracted to her looks and figure.

For Zhao Sulan, he had even gritted his teeth and bought chicken for her, and he was willing to give her the cookies he himself couldn’t bear to eat.

Earlier, when Lu Xingguang had ruined the snacks, Sun Siyuan had taken the slightly more intact ones and given them to Zhao Sulan.

He wanted to marry Zhao Sulan, but now, the pure and well-behaved female educated youth he had admired was ruined by Lu Xingguang?

Zhao Sulan now appeared to be in a disturbed mental state—she must have been drugged by Lu Xingguang and lured out.

And worse, her body had been seen by most of the men in the village.

At this moment, Sun Siyuan truly felt like stabbing Lu Xingguang.

“Don’t be impulsive!” At this moment, several male educated youths rushed over to stop Sun Siyuan.

After all, they still didn’t know the full details of what had happened. Plus, Lu Xingguang had blood streaming from his head.

If Sun Siyuan rushed in now and started hitting people, and something happened, it would be impossible to explain later.

Moreover, the village head was already here, and they couldn’t possibly make a move in front of him. If they did, it would surely lead to mistakes.

Sun Siyuan was stopped and slowly began to calm down.

But how could he remain calm when the woman he liked had been violated?

“What is that smell? It’s kind of sharp and stings the nose.”

“I don’t know; the scent is really strange.” The two female educated youths waved their hands in front of their noses to disperse the odor as they entered the room.

They carried oil lamps in their hands.

On the mud kang bed, three people were asleep.

One of the female educated youths took two steps forward and gently tapped Su Niannian’s leg.

When there was no response, she paused.

“How can she be sleeping so soundly?” One of the female educated youths said to the other.

“Let’s wake up Song Zhaodi and Huang Yingying too.”

With that, she slapped the nearest person to the door, Song Zhaodi.

After a few shakes, there was no sign that Song Zhaodi was going to wake up.

“What’s going on? I can’t wake up Huang Yingying either.”

The two of them now realized that something seemed wrong with the situation.

The two women increased the strength of their shaking.

Still, the three of them remained in a deep sleep, showing no sign of waking up.

At that moment, it seemed like Su Niannian, who had been pretending to be asleep, understood why Zhao Sulan had already been drugged unconscious but was still forced to take the kind of medicine used for pig breeding.

Because if it hadn’t been for that kind of drug, they probably wouldn’t have woken up at all.

It seemed that Lu Xingguang didn’t like the idea of taking advantage of a woman who wasn’t responding.

The two women who entered to call for the others realized that something was wrong when they couldn’t wake up the three people inside.

At this point, it became clear that something sinister had occurred, and they couldn’t ignore the unsettling situation.

For Su Niannian, she couldn’t help but think, Huang Yingying is actually quite kind… thinking of asking Lu Xingguang to increase the experience.

But now, her thoughts turned dark. This time, I can’t let these people get away with it.

Even without any immediate action, Su Niannian had already planned to get revenge for her past life. But now, things had escalated, and Huang Yingying and the others couldn’t hold back any longer.

This situation, in hindsight, was of their own making.

“Quickly, grab the oil lamp and go outside!”

The two women hurriedly returned outside, trying to act with urgency.

Upon seeing them return without anyone, the village head, Guo Guofu, furrowed his brows.

“Why didn’t you bring anyone out?”

“Something seems wrong inside. We couldn’t wake up any of the three.”

“Also, there’s this strange smell. Could it be some sort of drug or sleeping powder?”

“It’s possible,” one of the women said, her voice tinged with concern. “When we entered, we immediately smelled it, and now… I do feel a little lightheaded.”

The situation was only becoming more complicated and ominous.

Upon hearing the two women’s words, the faces of everyone present immediately darkened.

The young intellectuals were shocked—so many people here, yet someone dared to drug and knock out the female intellectuals? The audacity was staggering.

Moreover, there were four people in that room, and all of them had been drugged unconscious…

The village head, Guo Guofu, now wore a face so dark it seemed like it could drip water.

At present, there were still at least four hours until dawn. Since Su Niannian was also unconscious now, who would go check on the situation with Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan?

“No, what about sending them to the county town?” Zhou Daniu suggested.

That was indeed an option, but Village Head Guo Guofu didn’t want to send them.

First, if they sent them to the county town, the matter would be exposed, which would tarnish the village’s reputation.

Secondly, the village would have to cover the medical expenses for the two of them.
