Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Fu Xiaoxiao Injured

Fu Xiaoxiao’s words received approval from many villagers present. Indeed, some had already discussed marriage but refused due to unstable factors like the Li Family.

The key is the village chief still protects them, even for bullying women like this, the punishment is only confinement in the ancestral hall for a few days. Such a punishment is indeed outrageous.

"You don’t know anything! If it weren’t for our Li Family, he wouldn’t be the village chief!" Old Li spat after hearing Fu Xiaoxiao’s words, revealing the truth.

The village chief’s face changed dramatically, trying to stop Old Li but it was already too late.

All the villagers changed their expressions.

"Village chief, what does this mean? You must clarify this today." Villagers held onto Old Li, but their eyes were fixed on the village chief.

"Everyone back off! Don’t listen to his nonsense! Old Li, shut your mouth!" The village chief was anxious, glaring fiercely at Old Li.

Old Li sneered, not taking the village chief seriously. For years, he had a grip on the village chief, who had no prestige in his eyes.

He had long wanted everyone to know that no one could touch him; his backing was the village chief!

"What’s to be afraid of saying it, it’s true! If it weren’t for me supporting you to the position of village chief back then, you’d still be an old bachelor unable to find a wife! My Li family has only one son, and you can’t even protect him, how could you face me!" Old Li yelled at the village chief.

Originally, it was agreed he would protect the Li family, but what happened? His good son was locked in the ancestral hall, even crippled, with no one to reason with.

The culprit couldn’t be found despite many days of searching, and the doctor said that thing couldn’t be cured; he’d have to be a eunuch for life.

Though Old Li was unreliable, he doted on this son who shared his temperament.

Now that his son ended up like this, he naturally resented the village chief.

"If I hadn’t called more people to mix into the team to vote for him back then, how could he possibly have become village chief! He would’ve lost long ago!" Old Li ignored the village chief’s gaze and exposed the truth of the past.

It turns out the reason the village chief was elected was because the Li family secretly manipulated it, finding people from other villages to mix in and get him extra votes.

"I always said there was a problem with the votes back then! Well, turns out you two are in cahoots! No wonder the village chief always protects the Li family! You all treat us like fools!"

The villagers, hearing this, couldn’t help but get excited, especially those who missed becoming village chiefs by just a few votes back then.

They couldn’t accept this fact.

For years, the people in the village trusted him and respected him, but he lost to the current village chief, which made it hard for him to understand.

Villagers who understood always said they voted for him back then, so where did the extra votes come from? It had always been a lingering issue for him.

Fu Xiaoxiao held Lu Chen, standing nearby, feeling that the matter was escalating. Now, not only Old Li was involved, but even the village chief might be pulled down.

The villagers excitedly surrounded the village chief and Old Li, demanding an explanation from the village chief, but no one believed his explanations.

At that moment, several military vehicles slowly drove over, honking twice at the crowd.

The villagers were shocked and opened a path upon seeing the military vehicles.

But the vehicles stopped in front of them, and Fu Xiaoxiao saw Lu Feng jump down from one of the vehicles and walk toward her.

Wang Lu led a group of soldiers behind Lu Feng, neatly lined up, which frightened the villagers into holding their breath.

This display indeed scared the simple villagers.

"What happened?" Lu Feng approached Fu Xiaoxiao, ready to hold her hand and ask what happened, but then saw her arm bruised and purple.

Lu Feng’s face darkened, his eyes sharp. "What’s wrong with your hand? Who hit you?"

"Daddy!" Seeing Lu Feng, Lu Chen wailed, hugging Lu Feng’s leg and shouting. "Daddy... he bullied Mommy... and tried to hit me with that thing! Mommy... to protect me, she... wailed, she used her hand to block it... got hurt, and her hand is all black!"

Lu Chen’s grievance suddenly burst out, especially upon seeing Fu Xiaoxiao injured while protecting him, with bruises on her arm. All his pent-up emotions released upon seeing Lu Feng.

In his impression, Lu Feng was very powerful, a hero who fights bad guys.

Lu Feng picked Lu Chen up, and Lu Chen immediately pointed to Old Li in the crowd. "It was him! He tried to bully Mommy! He said Mommy should give him money, or he’d hit her!"

Lu Feng gently put Lu Chen down, and the villagers wisely gave way, allowing Lu Feng to confront Old Li. Old Li’s previous bravado vanished upon seeing Lu Feng’s murderous intent, his body trembling like a leaf.

Lu Feng reached out and grabbed Old Li, lifting him into the air with one hand.

"The soldier is hitting someone! Bullying civilians..." Old Li screamed in fright, worried Lu Feng might strike him, shivering in fear.

If he took one hit his old bones would be gone.

"Captain!" Wang Lu worriedly stepped forward; Lu Feng in uniform shouldn’t lay hands on civilians!

That was a taboo.

Fu Xiaoxiao held Lu Chen’s hand and approached Lu Feng, grabbing his hand.

"Lu Feng, I’m okay."

Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand appeared severe, but it was only because of her delicate skin; in reality, Old Li’s blow had been deflected, not injuring her bones.

"Take them all to the military for trial!" Lu Feng came today to handle this matter, to seek justice for Fu Xiaoxiao, and to fetch Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen.

Yet he was still late.

Causing Fu Xiaoxiao to still get hurt.

Wang Lu gestured, and the soldiers controlled the village chief and Old Li, taking them onto the vehicle together.

"We can help testify!" Aunt Wang and others immediately raised their hands, eager to see the trial spectacle upon hearing they would be judged by the military.

Aunt Wang’s move prompted villagers to also raise their hands, wanting to join in reporting the village chief.

"We can testify as well!"

"All get on the vehicle." Wang Lu glanced at Lu Feng, waving to let all the villagers get on.

"I’ll take you to the hospital." Lu Feng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, a storm brewing in his eyes. He restrained the urge to strangle Old Li upon seeing the bruises on Fu Xiaoxiao’s arm, his heart wrung tightly.

"No need, no need, I’m not that bad, a little ointment at home will do!" Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head, waved her arm at Lu Feng, trying to show them she was really okay.

But as soon as she moved, Lu Feng stopped her.

"Don’t act tough, I promised to protect you." Lu Feng said tenderly, guiding Fu Xiaoxiao into the vehicle and lifting Lu Chen onto it.

Lu Feng drove quickly to the military hospital. Fu Xiaoxiao was about to get off the vehicle when Lu Feng, who had gotten off first, lifted her up in a princess hold.

"Lu Feng!" Fu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, aware of the many onlookers!
