Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 347: Not Wanting Him to Know the Truth

"Stop spouting nonsense! Our family has always been kind and never had conflicts with others," Madam Dong immediately retorted.

Su Xiaoxiao’s dark, bright eyes scanned Madam Dong up and down, and though she didn’t say anything, her meaning was obvious. Madam Dong stiffened, just about to get up from the ground when she heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "You might want to get up off the ground first."

"Hahaha! Exactly, Old Dong’s wife, haven’t you thrown enough tantrums these past few days?" The surrounding neighbors burst into laughter.

Madam Dong, who had half-raised herself, sat back down again.

"I was forced into this! If it weren’t for Su Xiaoxiao attacking people, we would have been more than willing to talk things out," Madam Dong complained.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and directly turned to Su Hongchen. "Brother, keep an eye on things here. I’m going to the police."

"Alright," Su Hongchen responded.

Su Xiaoxiao held onto the door frame and jumped over Madam Dong. The Dong family wouldn’t dare let the police get involved. After all, the Pan family members were taken in yesterday and hadn’t been released yet.

The Dong family’s eldest daughter-in-law reached out to grab Su Xiaoxiao, but before she could even touch her, Su Xiaoxiao twisted her arm and pinned her to the ground. The force was so great that the eldest daughter-in-law screamed in pain.

Su Xiaoxiao, unwilling to waste time, let go of her and headed downstairs.

Unlike in the village, where they had to select the most advanced team, there was no one to stop Su Xiaoxiao from calling the police. Before long, she returned with two officers.

Meanwhile, the Dong family was trying to leave, but Su Hongchen had blocked them and didn’t let a single one escape.

The police quickly understood the situation and took the entire Dong family in for questioning. As for the Su family, they were only briefly questioned. It was already the middle of the night, and Mr. and Mrs. Su simply said that the whole family had been at home sleeping. Seeing nothing suspicious, the police left with their notes.

After the door was closed, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Hongchen.

Su Hongchen awkwardly rubbed his nose. "Last night, I was with Jiang Yexun and He Xingzhi. We were staking out the place the Dong family rented, and we ended up ambushing them with sacks."

"The police will likely go there too. Did you all agree on a story?" Mr. Su asked, his heart tightening.

"Of course, we’ve all agreed to say we came home at eleven."

It was already winter, and after nine o’clock at night, the streets were usually deserted. By eleven, there wouldn’t even be a shadow of a ghost.

Mrs. Su breathed a quiet sigh of relief, then lightly poked Su Hongchen’s head. "Of course? You seem pretty proud of yourself, huh?"

"No! It’s just that they came yesterday and caused a scene. We were so angry that we couldn’t help ourselves," Su Hongchen quickly pleaded.

Mrs. Su, remembering how they had tried to smear her daughter’s name, felt they deserved the beating. However, having done something wrong still made Mr. and Mrs. Su a bit worried.

"You didn’t leave any evidence, did you?" Mr. Su asked sternly.

If they were caught, it would be no small matter.

Su Hongchen shook his head. "We were very careful on the way there and back, and we didn’t leave any evidence."

"Alright, you’ve already done it, so we won’t say much. But don’t do this again in the future. Walking by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?" Mr. Su advised in a serious tone.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Next time, I can beat them up openly. After all, giving someone a black eye only costs a few yuan in compensation, and breaking an arm or a leg might not even cost fifty. We can afford that."

As soon as she said this, all three of her family members looked at her.

"You seem to have some experience with this?" Mrs. Su asked through gritted teeth.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked innocently.

Seeing that her family wasn’t going to let her off easily, she decided to confess.

"Sometimes you just run into people who won’t listen to reason. They have their own twisted logic, and if you don’t want to follow their lead, you have to beat them into submission."

Mr. and Mrs. Su, who were used to managing people, understood the kind of situation Su Xiaoxiao was describing.

The two sighed before speaking. "Are you sure you want to stay in the countryside for three years? There are definitely a lot of unreasonable people there. If you accidentally run into a tough nut... Jiang can’t always be there to protect you."

"Yexun has good friends in the village, and their families will help me and Aunt Guo," Su Xiaoxiao quickly reassured them.

But fearing her parents would continue to focus on her, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"But the most important thing right now is Dad’s situation. Did you notice earlier how the Dong family’s expressions changed when I said they must have offended someone?"

"Yes, it seems like they have some secrets. But there are probably already military personnel watching their every move," Su Hongchen said, frowning.

When he looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, a smile appeared. "You were deliberately trying to scare them earlier, weren’t you? I saw how you only said half of what you were thinking. If the Dong family is feeling guilty, they’ll definitely try to contact whoever is behind this."

"Of course! They’re so easy to trick. Now it’s up to the people watching them to catch the big fish. I just hope it doesn’t end up like before, with them being silenced before they can talk," Su Xiaoxiao said, clearly worried.

Since the mastermind behind all this had bribed the Pan and Dong families in her previous life, there was no way they would leave them alone in this life.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone in the team knew each other well and rarely went out, the mastermind would have likely extended their reach into their group as well after failing so many times.

"Don’t worry. The higher-ups are taking this very seriously. This time, the priority is to avoid alarming the enemy, even if it means letting some go," Su Hongchen said, his expression darkening.

Mr. Su, feeling the tension, couldn’t help but curse. "Those people are something else. Even after being caught, their desire for revenge is so strong. You all need to be careful during your missions. Don’t give those criminals any chance to retaliate."

Su Hongchen wanted to say that it didn’t seem like these were remnants from his past missions. But fearing that adding another suspicion would only make his parents more anxious, he agreed with his father’s advice.

Mrs. Su couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Su Xiaoxiao.

But she quickly looked away before anyone noticed.

These past few days, she had thought things over carefully and believed that there was a high chance the Zhang family from Beijing was involved. The way they had tried to adopt Hongchen before cutting off contact with Beijing had been an impulsive reaction. Looking back now, there were indeed many strange things.

However, Mrs. Su didn’t want this to be connected to the Zhang family in Beijing. Having raised Hongchen for twenty-two years and always treating him as her own son, she didn’t want to reveal the truth to him unless it was absolutely necessary.
