Chapter 207: Calls from All Sides

Zhang Yuewen was frightened and quickly supported his grandfather. The situation at the brigade headquarters was chaotic, and everyone hurried to help transport the person to the health station.

Outside the health station, many villagers were gossiping. After learning the details of what had happened, they felt embarrassed for Zhang Yinwen.

How could they think like that? Such a big incident happened, and instead of asking about the person’s condition, they just want that person to go straight to the police station to get their girl released.

They are truly thick-skinned. But think about it—if news of Zhang Qiaoyan’s actions gets out, it will definitely affect the village’s reputation. Who would have thought that Zhang Qiaoyan, who usually seems cultured, would have such malicious intent? If Luo Qiao hadn’t acted to save herself, it could have turned out much worse.

Moreover, just because the person isn’t seriously injured doesn’t mean they can pretend nothing happened. Isn’t this bullying? The village secretary’s daughter is treated as if she is more valuable than others and can do whatever she wants.

After Doctor Gao administered an injection, Zhang Yinwen slowly regained consciousness. However, Doctor Gao said, “Yuewen, your grandfather’s condition isn’t right. Quickly arrange for someone to take him to the hospital. I suspect this might be a stroke.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuewen was deeply alarmed. “How could it be a stroke?” he exclaimed.

Doctor Gao said, “It seems your grandfather’s body has had underlying issues, and this anger triggered something. You should quickly take him to the hospital and not delay any further.”

Zhang Yuewen hurriedly called for his father, his uncle, and a few aunts to come over. He also had someone bring the brigade’s car over and asked them to bring a bedsheet from his home to make his grandfather more comfortable lying down.

When Zhang Yinwen’s sons and daughters arrived and learned that their father had had a stroke, several daughters burst into tears beside the bus.

The captain couldn’t bear to watch any longer and said, “Hurry up and take him to the hospital. What’s the use of crying now?”

As they watched the car drive away, people in the village mocked Zhang Yinwen, saying he was just meddling for the sake of it. Zhang Qiaoyan had intentionally harmed someone, which was illegal, and he still dared to try to cover it up. What audacity!

Meanwhile, what was Zhang Dezhen doing at this time?

He was indeed trying to seek connection, but all the leaders at the commune had shut him out, avoiding him as if he were a plague. Some, out of politeness, exchanged a few words before finding excuses to leave.

Lu Yichen was afraid Zhang Dezhen might use his connections. He was also concerned that his involvement might harm Luo Qiao. After all, he was one of the witnesses.

So, he decided to call Yuan Weicheng directly.

That guy was impatient. He made a phone call directly to the secretary of the commune and warned that this matter must be severely punished. He even threatened that if he wasn’t satisfied, he would personally come from Beijing.

He also had his elder brother Yuan Weizhou call Ji City to get them involved. As a result, within half an hour, Chaoyang Commune received calls not only from Yuan Weicheng of the Beijing Military Region, but also from leaders at the county and city leaders.

Lastly, they even received a call from the provincial level. Now, who in the commune dared to handle this matter? Besides, they probably couldn’t handle it anyway—she dared to commit murder, so who would dare to protect her?

As a result, Zhang Dezhen returned to the village in embarrassment. But when he got back, he felt everyone’s eyes on him were strange, and people were whispering about something.

When he returned home, he found the door shut tight by his wife. Only then did he remember he had instructed his family to stay at his father-in-law’s place to avoid trouble.

With his daughter causing such trouble today, the villagers were bound to gossip. He feared his wife and son would suffer more and perhaps provoke conflict, so he had them stay at his father-in-law’s place.

Anyway, everyone in the village knew his mother-in-law was in the hospital, so they could find reasons to explain it all away.
