Chapter 1812 - 1812: He got off (2)
With their families pressuring them, how could these people resist? They had no choice but to agree. Since these people backed off and changed their statements, how could the Yamen officers keep Zhou Ziming? They had no choice but to release him!
“This is too much!” Yu Yue gnashed her teeth. She never thought that one day she would see someone using their power so blatantly. Even though Zhou Ziming had ruined the name of her family, that woman still went ahead and protected him.
She could not deal with Yu Dong, so she threatened the families of those who could have proven that Zhou Ziming was the one who tried to kill her brother.
“Why did she save him though?” Xiao Chuxia asked with a frown. “Was there any need to do so?”
Now that Zhou Ziming’s charm had broken, Village Head Zhou must have gotten her senses back, right? So why was she doing such a foolish thing?
“You are forgetting that if Zhou Ziming was caught and apprehended as a culprit, Village Head Zhou’s reputation would be down in the slump,” Wu Junfen explained as she sat down on the stool. “As long as Zhou Ziming comes out of the prison, everyone will sooner or later forget this matter. Not to mention, Zhou Ziming is a mer who is young and beautiful.”
“Village Head Zhou could still use him to exchange some benefits for herself. Why should she lose her benefits over something like this?” Wu Junfen understood that woman’s mentality very well. The reason she went to such lengths to get Zhou Ziming out of prison was not because she loved this son of hers very much. In fact, it was better to say that she hated Zhou Ziming a lot.
But Village Head Zhou knew that if Zhou Ziming ended up in prison, she would be done for! Thus, she did everything in her power to make sure that the mer would escape this predicament.
Once Xiao Chuxia finished listening, she was so furious that she couldn’t control herself. She turned on her feet and rushed out of the room.
Seeing her run, Yu Yue and Wu Junfen rushed after her and caught Xiao Chuxia before she could run out of the medicinal hall.
“What do you think you are doing?”
“Let go of me! I am going to find those two disgusting bastards. How dare they do such a thing? Can they not see law in their eyes?”
Yu Yue pulled Xiao Chuxia back and scolded her harshly, “What do you think you are doing? Don’t go around messing with things that you have no power on! Do you think you will escape unscathed if you were to find trouble with those two? Do you want to go to prison?”
“What can you even do to them? Don’t forget that you don’t even belong to that village.”
Zhou Ziming harmed Yu Fei; of course they were really angry at this matter. But like Yu Dong and Wu Junfen said, without Jiang Zixuan and the others’ testimony, there was nothing that they could do. What were they supposed to do? Village Head Zhou still had a lot of power.
Even if she was just a small village head, she could still manipulate and threaten the people of her village.
But if Xiao Chuxia was to go and cause trouble for the two of them, they were sure that village head Zhou would not sit still. She was already fuming and angry with Xiao Chuxia for her tactless attitude. Clearly, in her eyes, Zhou Ziming was giving her face by getting together with her, but Xiao Chuxia was a fool.
She not only got entangled with her son but, at the crucial juncture, refused to take responsibility. The only reason that woman was suppressing this bad breath was because she knew that if she was to make a move on Xiao Chuxia, she would be slapping Yu Dong in the face.
Thus, Village head Zhou was only trying to secure her own interests.
She knew that as long as she played smartly, there was nothing Yu Dong could do.
Yu Dong: heh!
Xiao Chuxia’s eyes turned red. She looked at Yu Yue and the rest before saying, “But I don’t want to give up! How could they do such a thing?” The more she talked about it, the more Xiao Chuxia trembled. Her heart ached for Yu Fei. He was pushed off a cliff, turned into a cripple, and lost his memories.
Her poor husband was having a hard time, but the one who ruined him like this was fine! It was too much!
She was like a trapped beast who couldn’t get what she wanted and could not help but say, “Are we really going to let go of him like this?”
Yu Dong’s eyes were cold. She sneered and said, “Who said that? Since they want to enjoy the benefits of the position that they have received. They will have to pay the price for it too!”
There was no way she was going to let Zhou Ziming go. That mer not only harmed her uncle, but he also killed a lot of people in his village.
Ding Nuan Nuan was a child, and Yu Dong could turn a blind eye to her actions because there was a possibility that she was doing it without understanding what she was doing.
However, Zhou Ziming was different. He was an adult! He understood everything, and he knew that the things that he was doing were unscrupulous and wrong. However, he still did it because he wanted to get what he wanted.
For the sake of his selfishness, he killed the villagers willy-nilly and didn’t even feel guilty over it. There was no way she could leave such a mer alone! She had to think of a way to make that mer pay and get Village Head Zhou out of the village.
If that woman continued to act as the head of the village, sooner or later she would cause a great tragedy.
However, what Yu Dong did not know was that while she was thinking of teaching a lesson to Zhou Ziming, the latter was thinking the same!
