Seeing that Granny Ma didn't answer him, Grandpa Wang got anxious all of a sudden. He tried to stand up, but he was too weak.
He sat back on the ground out of breath. His head was dizzy, and he couldn't think clearly about anything.
"Grandpa Wang, why don't you take a look at your current situation first and then decide whether you want to catch up with Granny Ma?"
Xia Sanghuan's words were like an alarm bell that woke Grandpa Wang up all at once.
He looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously, pointed at her, and stammered, "Y-you, why are you still here..."
"Of course I'm here. After all, I won't leave until I get my father's house back."
Her words were so straightforward and explicit that his head got even dizzier.
"Don't you have anything to explain to him?"
She turned to look at Granny Ma.
"For example, the fake death drug you gave him will really kill him if it's not vomited out in time?"
"Or, you never intended for him to vomit it out?"
"You wanted him dead, didn't you?"
Under her burning gaze, Granny Ma couldn't lift her head and stammered incoherently.
Grandpa Wang was completely confused now. He staggered to his feet, propping himself up against the wall.
"What do you mean?"
He looked at Xia Sanghuan, his eyes filled with fear and anger.
Just as they were confronting each other, Granny Ma's youngest son sneaked towards an axe in the corner.
He suddenly stood up, picked up the axe, and was about to throw it at the girl.
At the critical moment, Leng Chuanjin punched over and knocked the man to the ground. The axe slipped out of his hand and clanged to the ground.
Before the man could make another move, he pointed the gun at his forehead.
"Move and I'll shoot."
His voice was cold, and his eyes were fierce, making people believe that he would really do it.
So scary.
This was the only comment he made when facing the man with a gun pointed at him.
"Leave the rest to the police."
"Sanghuan, come with me now."
He turned around and said to the girl.
"But..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a group of policemen had already rushed to the scene.
After the policemen arrived, it was easier to deal with Granny Ma.
The policemen collected all the physical evidence at the scene. Finally, with the testimony of the whole village, they arrested Granny Ma, Grandpa Wang and a group of other people.
Granny Ma and the others were suspected of blackmail, embezzlement, attempted murder and a series of other crimes. They would probably be in prison for the rest of their lives.
The property confiscated from them, including the Xia family's house and fields, was equally distributed to the other villagers in Qingshanpo.
Granny Ma had joined hands with the Wang family in the early years to defraud and extort the villagers in Qingshanpo, as well as brainwash them religiously.
And all this was just to fill her own wallet.
This time, in order to get all the property of the Xia family and take revenge on Xia Sanghuan, she even staged a good show of fake death with Grandpa Wang.
It's just that no matter how well Grandpa Wang calculated, he didn't expect that his "partner" of many years would want to kill him at this critical moment.
The human heart is the most terrifying.
Xia Sanghuan propped her chin up and thought while looking at the sunset outside the car window.
The few books she was going to take away had already been carefully hidden in her bag, so no one noticed.
Leng Chuanjin returned to the car after explaining everything to the police.
He sat next to her and handed her a pack of wet wipes.
"Wipe your face. It's all black."
She took the wet wipes embarrassedly, took out one, and carefully wiped her face.
There was nothing she could do. Her face had been accidentally burned by the torch just now. Fortunately, she had a high tolerance for pain, so she didn't cry out.
Noticing her clenched hands, he hesitated for a moment and still took out the burn ointment he had just bought.
"Turn your face to me."
She turned her head over in confusion and looked at him.
When he saw the small blisters on the girl's face, he sighed half helplessly and half painfully.
He carefully reached out his hand and gently lifted the girl's chin.
"Don't move."
He unscrewed the cap, squeezed out a little ointment, and slowly applied it on her face.
"Does it hurt?"
His movements were very gentle, and the cold ointment felt very comfortable on the wound.
Because they were so close, she could even feel his breath on her face.
She shook her head and stared blankly at him.
He felt a little embarrassed being stared at by her. He quickly withdrew his hand and stuffed the ointment into her palm.
"Apply some more if it hurts."
Then he turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the car window.
"Second brother... Why did you come just in time?"
Hearing this, Leng Chuanjin's eyes darkened.
"I felt very restless at home."
His voice was a bit low, so Xia Sanghuan didn't hear him clearly.
"What did you say?"
He sighed, reached out his hand, and stroked her head.
"I said I felt very restless at home."
"Even if this is your hometown, it's too far from Yuntan."
"I shouldn't have let you, a little girl, come to such a far place alone."
"It's all my fault."
If you looked carefully, you could still see his hands trembling slightly.
If he had been just one second late, would she have been burned?
If she was burned, would it hurt a lot?
He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
However, the girl who had just walked through the gates of hell grinned heartlessly.
"It has nothing to do with you, second brother. I insisted on coming alone."
"And it's you who saved me again this time."
"So don't blame yourself, okay?"
Looking at the girl's smiling face, his heart tightened sharply.
Finally, he chose to follow his desire and hugged the girl into his arms.
He hugged her so tightly that Xia Sanghuan could hardly breathe.
"I'm actually very scared."
He said in a low voice.
"From now on, no matter where you go, let me or someone you can trust go with you."
"Okay?"
His voice was very deep and steady.
But she could hear his uneasiness.
She raised her hand and hugged him back.
"Okay."
The man she loved could do this for her. In a way, her sacrifices in the past few days were worth it.
Xia Sanghuan thought so.
However, this was really tough on Yun Ye, who was driving in the front.
Thinking of the way he was scolded by the young master last time for meddling, he couldn't help complaining.
In order not to be blamed by the young master this time, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly and tried his best not to let the two people sitting in the back notice his existence.
Fortunately, the young master hugged for an unusually long time. It was not until Miss Xia blushed and asked him "Are you done?" that he reluctantly let go.
