The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 947: The Social Death of a Single Dog

Chapter 947: Chapter 947: The Social Death of a Single Dog

Just as Li Qing finished dealing with the situation, Director Jia and Wang Baichuan also arrived at the dog-fighting arena with their men.

The timing was only about ten minutes apart.

"We found that scavenger old man, the old guy had almost made it to the uninhabited area to the north, but luckily we had surveillance cameras set up early, otherwise the old fellow might have slipped through our fingers," Director Jia said to Li Qing as soon as he saw him.

Li Qing couldn’t help but feel surprised, "Our operation didn’t leak any information, how did he come to know about it in advance? Is there something wrong with this situation?"

"Initially, I thought the same, but actually, there isn’t any problem," Director Jia shook his head and smiled, "Because that thing is good at divination, he predicted this morning that he seemed to have an inescapable danger coming, and heading north might give him a slim chance of survival, so he decisively took off."

"We searched thoroughly, and after learning that this guy had already driven away from the county town, I really suspected that we had a traitor in our ranks who had taken bribes, but in fact, it was an unnecessary worry."

Li Qing paused for a moment, "This old guy seems to know quite a bit."

"When he is free, he moonlights as a fortune teller outside the hospital, telling fortunes for people," Director Jia explained.

Li Qing’s brow furrowed slightly, "I’m afraid it’s not about doing this as a hobby, but more about making it convenient for his activities, right? The hospital entrance is never short of people, it’s crowded and chaotic, as long as his actions are fast enough, there are plenty of opportunities to abduct children."

Director Jia was startled, then suddenly had an epiphany and said, "Now that you mention it, it does make some sense. That old thief even claimed he was just doing this part-time, damn it, he’s treating us like fools!"

Director Jia immediately became furious, his eyes bulging like fish bladders,

"Qingzi, how are things on your end? If you’re about done, let’s take these guys back and start the interrogation promptly," Director Jia was eager to say, "The sooner we finish, the better, to avoid any more complications."

"I am finished here; take the people back," Li Qing said.

If it weren’t for wanting to torment Xiao Qiang and Tang Yan, those two bastards, he would have been done here much earlier.

"Alright," Director Jia straightforwardly agreed, immediately ordering everyone to be put in the cars, ready to head back to the station.

Li Qing and Huan Ling Ji still rode in Wang Baichuan’s car.

As they were on their way, Li Qing suddenly received a call from Han Mei.

Someone was actually trying to forcibly sell their family house.

Hearing about this, Li Qing’s expression blanked out for two or three seconds before he could react.

This was outrageous, like outrageousness had opened the door to more outrageousness, and it had come home to roost.

Who in the world would rush to the village to forcefully buy a house; was their brain squeezed by a door, or was their brain stem missing?

Who could do such a thing?!

Although Li Qing couldn’t understand it, the matter still needed to be dealt with.

"Old Wang, drop me off upfront, I need to make a trip home," Li Qing said.

Wang Baichuan slowed down the car and asked, "Is it something very important? If it’s something minor, I think it’s better to put up with it for now, because if you leave, we probably won’t be able to carry out our interrogation."

Li Qing pointed at Huan Ling Ji and smiled, "What’s really important is her; I don’t have anything urgent to deal with, let Lingji handle it first. I’ll go home for a bit, and once I’m done with that, I’ll come over."

Wang Baichuan glanced in the rearview mirror and his old face turned red, "Ah... I see, okay, that’s fine."

All of a sudden, Huan Ling Ji leaned closer to Li Qing, "Old Wang, stop looking and don’t overthink it, I’m Qingzi’s woman."

"Ah?" Wang Baichuan was suddenly startled, his expression instantly resembling someone who had eaten shit.

He angrily cursed, "Qingzi, are you a real dog or what? With the situation between you two, why didn’t you give me a heads up? You purely wanted to see me play the clown, didn’t you?"

"Then you misunderstand," Li Qing said with a light smile. "I just felt it was unnecessary."

Actually, he thought he had too many women, and Wang Baichuan was also aware of Tian Yue’e and Wu Xingxing; he worried that saying too much might spread rumors that were too wild.

Although he himself didn’t mind, his sisters-in-law might be affected.

"Unnecessary? You actually think it’s unnecessary? Qingzi, you’re a real bastard, you know that? Who does things the way you do? I’d been thinking all this time about how to get closer to Miss Lingji," Wang Baichuan angrily cursed, "Now tell me, isn’t this just making me out to be a clown? You thief!"

Li Qing laughed, "You didn’t ask either."

"Go to hell," Wang Baichuan waved his hand and cursed irritably before suddenly turning to Huan Ling Ji to say, "Miss Lingji, there’s something I must tell you—this guy’s current and former girlfriends can’t be counted on one hand, and it’s very likely he’s been seeing several women at once. You should be careful."

This could be called blatant revenge.

"I know," Huan Ling Ji said with a faint smile. "To be precise, I’m aware of what I should be."

Wang Baichuan was stunned, and his gaze settled on Li Qing with the eerie intensity of a starving wolf, as he cursed angrily, "It’s a case of the drowned drowning and the parched perishing. Tell me, where do you find all these smart and considerate young women who are also easy on the eyes?"

"Damn it, I’m genuinely jealous. Get out of here now and take the car. I had intended to drive you back to the village after refueling, but now I’ve changed my mind. Figure out your own way back home. I won’t be at your service anymore," Wang Baichuan said irritably.

Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh, seeing that the guy was indeed quite hurt.

"I’m sure you’ll have such chances in the future too. Always believe in yourself—your luck is right in front of you," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Piss off!" Wang Baichuan waved his hand and cursed resentfully.

Li Qing laughed and got out of the car, opening the door.

If they went on any longer, Wang Baichuan might have resorted to violence!

With Huan Ling Ji present, Li Qing was indeed unnecessary; all he needed to know was the outcome.

So he leisurely returned to the village.

After a period of frenzied marketing, the flow of people in the village had stabilized, with weekends experiencing a surge that could reach tens of thousands.

On regular days, it now hovered around two to three thousand people—quite balanced.

This was actually a terrifying scale.

Shili Yi had previously been drawing in tourists, but now Sanhe Village had left it far behind.

This was probably a case of "The more you want something, the more elusive it becomes; the less you try, the more you achieve."

Sanhe Village certainly belonged to the latter.

The main road leading into the village changed almost daily.

Now there was a touch of a bustling small town, with lively scenes everywhere you looked.

Li Qing took a brief glance and hurried home. He was indeed curious about what was going on.
