Even After My Death-Chapter 643 - 546: Who Bullied the Head of the Family?

Qi Xingzhou stood on the stairs, looking down as he took out his phone.

His and Jiang Ning’s phones were both with him, and Qi Xingzhou casually pulled them out, finally reconnecting with the netizens who had been chattering incessantly on the live stream.

[Ohhh! Finally! He finally took out the phones!]

[Did you guys hear what Jiang Ning just said?]

[We heard! She told Qi Xingzhou to call the police! She even specified that a female officer should come...]

[Ahhhh, could it really be what I’m thinking?]

[It’s highly likely... If I heard it right, the previous cry for help seemed to be from a very young woman...]

[Damn it! This scumbag!!! If I were there, I would beat him up severely!]

[What good does beating him do? We don’t even know the condition of that girl now, nor how long she’s been locked up in this village. She might have already suffered the worst.]

[It’s infuriating, does this scumbag Old Man live alone? Are there any other accomplices? Do his family and relatives all not know? Or, are there others in the village who also engage in such acts? Ahh, we must thoroughly investigate! No one can be spared!]

The netizens were morally outraged; this kind of incident was simply too explosive and challenged one’s worldview and moral boundaries.

If it hadn’t been for everyone hearing Qi Xingzhou use his own phone to call the police, the police station’s phone lines might have exploded from the calls.

However, even though the netizens couldn’t help much from behind the screen, news about the incident quickly spread across major social media sites...

The popularity of Jiang Ning’s live stream soared, with the online viewership growing and even exceeding eight digits at its peak.

Of course, all these were matters for later.

After Qi Xingzhou finished calling the police, he turned and went downstairs.

In the yard, Li Fu lay pitifully on the ground, fidgeting as he tried to untie the restraints on his wrists and ankles.

When Qi Xingzhou had just run into the house, Li Fu had indeed desperately called to the neighbors who were watching the excitement to help him, but these villagers were not fools.

Although they had spent most of their lives secluded in this small mountain village and hadn’t seen much of the world, it didn’t mean they lacked thoughts and judgment.

Anyone with clear eyes could see that, although the two youngsters were new to the village and strangers, they possessed an inherent righteousness and their eyes were clear and bright, clearly not the type to stir up trouble.

On the other hand, Li Fu, who the villagers had practically watched grow up, had become ungrateful and reclusive after growing up, showing no respect to the older villagers, a true ingrate, resembling more like someone who would do evil deeds behind others’ backs.

Everyone heard the loud and clear cry for help; it was unmistakable!

"Li Fu, stop struggling; those handcuffs look sturdy, not something you can easily break free from," Old Man Wang said, watching Li Fu who kept struggling.

Li Fu, with a grim face and a fierce and impatient look in his eyes, did not respond.

The two youngsters had already run into the house.

He wasn’t sure if they would discover the small compartment on the third floor.

If it were found, his life would be over!

If he didn’t take the chance to save himself now, he would never be able to later!

Standing on the edge, an old lady wiping her eyes spoke, "They carry handcuffs with them and are so skilled... could they be police?"

As soon as she said this, the room fell silent, and everyone’s gaze fixated on Li Fu.

Upon hearing these words, Li Fu’s desire to flee intensified.

In fact, after being kicked away by Jiang Ning and effortlessly subdued by Qi Xingzhou, Li Fu had suspected their identities.

Their agile and strong movements were not at all typical of ordinary young people!

Who would believe they hadn’t received professional training?

However, Li Fu did not want to entertain this possibility in his mind and was afraid to think further along that direction.

It was only after hearing the old woman’s words that his desire to escape grew even more urgent!

But before he could free his wrists, he heard footsteps behind him, and Qi Xingzhou walked out of the house.

Seeing him emerge, the villagers instinctively looked behind him, almost as if their thoughts were written on their foreheads: Where is your girlfriend? What’s happening inside?

Qi Xingzhou seemed to understand what everyone was implying. Ordinarily reserved, he took the initiative to clear their doubts, "There’s another situation upstairs, it’s not convenient to disclose at the moment. I’ve just called the police, and they’re on their way."

After a pause, looking at Li Fu on the ground, Qi Xingzhou asked, "Does anyone else live in his house?"

If Li Fu wasn’t the only resident, the others might be masterminds or accomplices.

Qi Xingzhou spoke in a tone neither too loud nor too low, audible not only to the villagers but also clear to Li Fu.

Instantly, Li Fu’s face turned ashen, the attic upstairs, indeed... had been discovered.

Upon hearing Qi Xingzhou’s words, the other villagers could no longer remain calm.

My God!

What did he mean by that!

He actually called the police!

That means Li Fu really committed a crime!

Unthinkable, everyone was simply too shocked to think.

People like them, farmers who dealt with the land all their lives, were always honest and kept to themselves. Normally, they would even avoid the traffic police by taking another path, and naturally held a deep reverence for the police station.

Never did they imagine that their village would soon have a criminal!

Old Man Wang’s hand trembled, and the people around him were also less composed, with various exclamations overlapping each other.

Of course, nobody answered Qi Xingzhou’s last question casually.

Even though Qi Xingzhou now mentioned Li Fu had done wrong, and regardless of the strained relations between Li Fu and the villagers, the villagers considered the matter more thoroughly.

Qi Xingzhou, seeing everyone just whispering among themselves and not answering his question, didn’t take their reaction to heart.

His eyes shifted, and as he was about to speak to Li Fu, a sharp scream came from outside the courtyard: "What are you all doing in my yard!"

This voice, fierce and piercing, caught the unprepared crowd off guard, causing them to shudder.

The next second, a middle-aged woman pushed through the people standing at the gate and squeezed inside.

Her eyes scanned the courtyard, and upon seeing Li Fu lying on the ground in a sorry state, she wailed:

"Heavens! Who has bullied you like this, head of the household!"
