Free Web NovelChapter 125: Chapter 125: Acting Righteously
Yesterday, after Zhao Youquan brought back Wang Hao’s bloodstained clothes, he planned to go out and inquire about what exactly Wang Hao had done. If it was something illegal or criminal, he could use it to report him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left his house today, he came across the police at Wang Hao’s doorstep.
Zhao Youquan was overjoyed in his heart, convinced that Wang Hao had definitely committed some misdeed. He was not going to let such a good opportunity slip by.
"Officer, are you here for Wang Hao?"
Zhao Youquan approached the female officer to ingratiate himself, clutching the bag tightly in his hand, and then said.
"I’m telling you, this must have been done by Wang Hao!"
"Everyone knows about this already?"
The female officer was shocked when she heard Zhao Youquan’s words.
"How could they not know."
Zhao Youquan took out Wang Hao’s bloodstained clothes and handed them to the female officer saying.
"This is the evidence, look at this, Wang Hao’s bloodstained clothes, he must have done it, quickly arrest him!"
"Really?"
The female officer took the bloodstained clothes and furrowed her brows.
Seeing the change in the female officer’s expression, Zhao Youquan felt even happier, thinking that Wang Hao had finally landed in trouble and wondering how he would compete with him for the position of village head after getting locked up.
Huang Yufen hid in the corner and shivered all over when she saw Zhao Youquan take out the bloodstained clothes, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Wang Hao really did something bad?"
The villagers were in an uproar when they saw the bloodstained clothes.
"Can I take this piece of clothing?"
As everyone was still in shock, the female officer suddenly made a request to Zhao Youquan, holding the bloodstained clothes.
"Of course, no problem. This is also evidence, so naturally it should be handed over to the police for fair processing!"
Zhao Youquan thought that the female officer wanted the clothes to preserve evidence. He was already overjoyed inside and agreed without hesitation.
Watching the female officer examine the bloodstained clothes, turning them over and sometimes frowning, Zhao Youquan was sure that Wang Hao’s offense was not minor. freewebnøvel.coɱ
He was still unclear how many years he would have to spend in prison this time.
Zhao Youquan seemed to have already envisioned Wang Hao suffering in prison and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
With Wang Hao out of the way, no one would dare to compete with him for the position of the next village head.
This time, he could avenge all of his past grudges!
"Wang Hao is back!"
Zhao Youquan was daydreaming when he heard someone shout behind him, pulling him back from his delightful thoughts.
He looked up to see Wang Hao coming back from the greenhouse with Wang Dazhu.
"Yes, that’s him, that’s Wang Hao. Officer, quickly catch him!"
Zhao Youquan immediately pointed at Wang Hao and shouted excitedly.
Wang Hao was puzzled too, seeing Zhao Youquan’s triumphant demeanor and suspecting that he had cooked up some scheme to frame him.
But upon seeing the female officer, Wang Hao couldn’t help but laugh.
The female officer moved quickly to meet Wang Hao as he returned.
"Wang Hao, you’re not getting out of this one, wait for your punishment, hahaha..."
Zhao Youquan laughed heartily, too excited to hold back.
"Such a fine young man, why didn’t you learn to behave!"
Although some villagers didn’t know what Wang Hao had done, seeing the scene before them, they couldn’t help but feel pity for him.
Huang Yufen and Wang Dazhu were extremely worried when they saw the female officer walking towards Wang Hao, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Zhao Youquan, seeing that the female officer did not seem to intend to use handcuffs, became anxious and quickly ran forward to grab Wang Hao’s collar, preventing him from fleeing.
He was about to seek recognition and reward from the female officer when he saw her shoot him a fierce glare.
"Are you crazy? Let go!"
The female officer stepped forward, swung Zhao Youquan’s hand away, and kicked him in the stomach, sending Zhao Youquan flying a good distance away.
Under everyone’s gaze, the female officer hurried to Wang Hao with a look of panic and asked.
"Wang Hao, are you okay with your injury?"
The female officer Zhou Yingying had been serious at first, but as soon as she turned to look at Wang Hao, her expression changed to one of concern, caring about the state of Wang Hao’s injury.
In an instant, the entire place was in shock!
Why did the policewoman care so much about Wang Hao?
Zhao Youquan was also full of confusion when he heard Zhou Yingying’s words.
The villagers also began to feel astonished, wasn’t this policewoman here to arrest Wang Hao? Why did she knock down the village chief instead?
At that moment, another middle-aged policewoman walked out of the police car.
"This is our station chief, Aunt Dong, someone you all know."
Zhou Yingying quickly brought Wang Hao over to Aunt Dong to introduce them.
The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded, why had even the station chief come? What on earth was going on?
Judging by the way Zhou Yingying and Chief Dong were acting, they didn’t seem to be here to make an arrest.
"Here, Wang the great hero, this is the banner of honor our station is presenting to you!"
Chief Dong immediately took out a banner of honor, which read: Perform acts of justice, exemplify kindness and virtue.
"We’re not here to arrest Wang Hao, everyone, don’t misunderstand. Let’s all give Wang the great hero a round of applause."
Chief Dong said to the surrounding villagers.
"Comrade Wang Hao acted bravely for a just cause yesterday, and got injured while saving our district’s policewoman Zhou Yingying."
"His spirit is something that each and every one of us should learn from, so the county has specially approved a banner of honor and a reward of twenty thousand yuan for Comrade Wang Hao!"
After speaking, Chief Dong took out a big red envelope in front of everyone and handed it to Wang Hao.
"Wow, Wang Hao is really amazing!"
"I knew Wang Hao wasn’t that kind of person, he truly brings honor to our village!"
Immediately, a warm round of applause broke out.
All was revealed, and the villagers’ attitudes rapidly shifted. They all came forward to congratulate Wang Hao, with no one paying any attention to Zhao Youquan lying on the ground.
By now, Zhao Youquan lying on the ground, his heart felt as dead as ashes.
He had hoped to use this opportunity to get rid of Wang Hao, the thorn in his side, but it had turned into such a huge reversal.
Wang Hao had become a great hero in everyone’s eyes.
Watching all the villagers go up to congratulate Wang Hao, Zhao Youquan felt truly bitter.
This had been a total loss. Not only had he failed to take Wang Hao down, but he had also made him even more beloved by the people, making Zhao Youquan feel that his position as village chief was even more in jeopardy.
"Pah! Sooner or later I’ll see you fall!"
Zhao Youquan spat in Wang Hao’s direction and quickly slipped away while everyone was distracted.
This time, Wang Hao really became famous, as it was the county that agreed to present the banner of honor, and soon the whole township knew about the hero Wang Hao.
"Oh my, I was almost scared to death!"
Knowing Wang Hao hadn’t done anything wrong, Huang Yufen finally breathed a sigh of relief, gently patting her chest as she spoke.
"When I saw the police car coming, I really thought Haozi had done something bad."
The elderly couple didn’t pay too much attention, as long as their son was safe and sound.
Now that the villagers were all praising Wang Hao, the two elders were also very happy.
After the villagers had dispersed, Chief Dong suggested that since they were here, they might as well inspect the public security situation in the village.
Actually, it was just to give Wang Hao and Zhou Yingying some personal space.
So, Wang Hao took Zhou Yingying to visit his greenhouse.
Seeing the two of them, the villagers working in the greenhouse started teasing them.
Wang Hao didn’t mind, but Zhou Yingying, her face flushed with embarrassment, bowed her head, too shy to speak.
Wang Hao had no choice but to take her somewhere else for a walk.
"Your wound is really okay?"
Zhou Yingying asked with concern.
Zhou Yingying might usually look stern and unapproachable, inspiring fear in others, but today, in front of Wang Hao, she showed her softer side, too shy to meet Wang Hao’s gaze.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine, look."
Wang Hao then moved his arm a few times to show Zhou Yingying.
"There now, be careful, you might bleed again."
Zhou Yingying quickly reached out to hold Wang Hao’s arm, but accidentally ended up holding his hand tightly...
