Chapter 362: Cruel Strike

sat beside Li Anni. She said with some resignation:"Master Wu, how did my perfectly fine birthday party turn into an underground rendezvous"“Master Honglian, I apologize! It’s inappropriate to stare a...At this moment, Chen Jiashu's palms were sweating. He quietly pressed himself against the wall, his ears perked up, listening to the sounds around him. Above him was the deep night sky, dotted with starlight. The slightly cool breeze helped him calm down slowly.

Tonight is his last chance, he doesn't want to see those smug faces again, especially Wu Lianyi who was supposed to be under his feet. He's unwilling to accept it, especially after having that dream, he feels even more unwilling. But his repeated plans have all failed.

When he learned that all the educated youths were signing up for the college entrance exam, he started to recall his dream. In his dream, the female educated youth Zheng Xin had successfully passed the university entrance exam and left Hongqi Commune smoothly. He wanted to create a misunderstanding so that she would have to marry him. That way, with Zheng Xin's help, he could also leave this hellhole.

That day, after he confirmed that the point in the countryside was occupied by only the two of them, he washed his body with water and then deliberately let out a cry, pretending to have fallen down and couldn't get up. He pleaded Zheng Xin for help. When the other party arrived and saw him naked, he took the opportunity to directly pounce on her.

Both of them falling down at the same time, the other person would definitely scream. It's best to call over all the workers nearby, then seeing the two of them hugging each other, this way Zheng Xin will be completely tied to him. Even if she wants to get away from him, she'll have to take him away from this place.

Once he returns to the city, he will find his dream prophet. He will definitely let himself grow slowly until one day, he will take revenge on all these people.

Unfortunately, he called for her all day long, but Zheng Xin didn't even show her face. He had clearly seen Zheng Xin staying at the educated youth point to read and review. When he himself went to the female educated youth's room with his crutches, he saw the door ajar. He pushed it open and saw that there was no one inside.

He didn't see Zheng Xin and Wang Xiufen returning together until the afternoon when all the young educated youths were back at their residences. He then learned that Zheng Xin had gone to the village entrance to pick them up. The two female educated youths went to Wu Lianyi's house, so they returned later than the male educated youths.

After that, he tried to find an opportunity to chat her up. Zheng Xin rarely went alone; even when she went to the bathroom, the two female educated youths always went together. Moreover, Wang Xiu'fen looked at him like she was guarding against a thief, which made him even more irritable.

Having become wary, the schemer couldn't manipulate them. Instead, he aimed to incite conflict between villagers and educated youths, creating obstacles for them in taking the college entrance exam. He then exploited his convenience as a warehouse guard, painting rosy pictures of city life for the young children, encouraging them to seize the opportunity and take a gamble.

As it turned out, his plan worked. Just as he was secretly pleased with himself, these people actually came forward to offer guidance to the villagers' children, even devising a system of assessment and selection that threw a wrench in his plans.

He boldly offered to help with the exam paper, but those people ripped him apart and even got physical. He didn't even have a chance to fight back, so he was beaten up without a word. Two days later, he was kicked out of the educated youth point.

Chen Jia Shu was filled with hatred and madness, but he had to bear it because he had already caused all the educated youths in the village to reject him. He didn't want to offend the villagers again, otherwise he would be unable to stand firm here.

He waited until all the educated youths passed the preliminary exam, even Zhao Jingcheng who had joined halfway through. Knowing he could no longer deceive himself, he decided to make them pay. So, he found an excuse and brought in rat poison.

He knew that if he actually poisoned these people, he would also end up in prison. So he only prepared a small amount of rat poison to put in their water tanks. As long as they drank the water, they would have nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They wouldn't be able to last until the exam was over.

And he deliberately chose this time, when the villagers were sleeping soundest, in order not to disturb the educated youths at the point. He specially crept in through a gap in the back wall that he had made beforehand, blocking it with firewood so they wouldn't notice him.

At this moment, he carefully moved the firewood aside, abandoned his cane, used both hands to support himself, and slowly crawled into the yard. Then, little by little, he crept to the water tank beside the wall. Before pushing open the tank lid, he paused for a moment, held his breath, and cocked his ear to listen. All he heard was the snoring of the male youths.

Then Chen Jiashu felt relieved. He took out a packet of powder from his bosom, pushed open a crack in the wooden lid on top of the water tank, opened the paper bag, and poured the powder inside. Just as he was about to close the lid, he suddenly heard someone shout:

"Who is it What are you doing"

Chen Jia Shu panicked, not even bothering to put the lid back on the water tank. He turned and tried to run, but the next moment he found himself sprawled on the ground beside the tank. A low growl from a dog reached his ears, and a warm breath hit his neck, sending shivers down his spine.

The bark of the Golden Retriever woke everyone in the house. Qian Jian Guo and his two companions rushed out, bare-chested, and eagerly inquired:

"What's wrong What's wrong"

"Look, who's this"

Zhao Jingcheng pointed to the dark shadow beside the water tank.

Qian Jian Guo and two others followed the direction indicated by the other party, borrowing the moonlight to see a figure being pressed under the paws of a large yellow earth dog. The other party was also looking back in fear, as if avoiding the yellow dog's tongue.

"Chen Jia Shu!"

What is he here for

"What good can come out of being awake at three in the morning!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Three people gathered around, and at this moment Zhao Jingcheng called out:

"Come here, Da Huang!"

The big yellow dog barked loudly, then growled at Chen Jiashu threateningly before jumping off his back and coming to Zhao Jingcheng's side.

Chan Ka-shui propped up half his body with one hand, shoved a piece of paper he was holding into the other's mouth, wanting to destroy the evidence.

Qian Jianguo reacted the fastest, taking a stride forward and clamping his hand onto the other person's neck. This time, he was putting all his strength into it. Compared to Chen Jia Shu who had only been here for a year, Qian Jianguo had spent five years here, doing farm work and building up his strength. So with this grip, he almost choked Chen Jia Shu out, naturally preventing him from swallowing anything in his mouth.

Zhang Qiang and Sun Sheng followed closely, flanking the other side. One pinched his jawline, the other directly reached into the other's mouth and pulled out the wad of saliva-soaked paper.

Zhao Jingcheng brought a ragged piece of cloth and stuffed it directly into the other person's mouth. Then he took out a hemp rope and, working together with three others, tied Chen Jiashu up. Looking at the person still writhing on the ground, the eyes of the three people were very unkind.

"Brother Qian, what should we do now"

Several people calmed their racing hearts and turned to Qian Jianguo, the eldest among them.

"Jingcheng, I'm going to Zhao Tai's place with you. Let's tell him what's happening here. I suspect he's trying to drug us."

After finishing his words, he pointed to the clump of wrapping paper that Zhang Qiang had just taken out, and to the water tank whose lid was pushed open. There was a layer of white powder along the rim of the water tank. It wasn't hard for everyone to guess what had happened.

"Bah! Scoundrel!"

"We must report this to the police! This narrow-minded person, if left in the village, who knows who else they will harm!"

"Oh no!"

Chen Jia Shu's pupils contracted, and he struggled quickly upon hearing this.ld save them. Any member of the Feng family who reached out for help was eliminated.Lao Feng, due to his advanced age, was sent to a special nursing home and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, he was act...
