Chapter 1283 - Shameless Village Chief
Chapter 1283 of "Super Soldier in the City" starts the action: Chapter 1283: Chapter 1333: Shameless Village Chief"I didnât! I absolutely didnât! She was the one... Find out what happens!
Chapter 1283: Chapter 1333: Shameless Village Chief"I didnât! I absolutely didnât! She was the one who let me in, and I didnât touch her at all!" The young man shouted angrily at this moment.
"It was you! It was you! You tore my clothes, and you dare to say you didnât?" The village chiefâs wife wiped her eyes, then started yelling in an even sharper voice. After pushing the village chief aside, she charged at the young man. "Iâll fight you to the death! I have no face to show anyone now, so Iâll fight you to the death!" She looked every bit the part of a shrew.
Chu Xiaoyao, Zhou Xiaoyue, and the others had never witnessed such a scene before and were momentarily unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, the young man struggled to fend off the village chiefâs wifeâs hands, continually retreating, his sleeves getting torn by her.
"Stop!" Chu Xiaoyao shouted.
The village chiefâs wife stopped and glared at Chu Xiaoyao, "What do you want?"
Chu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and asked, "Are you saying he tried to rape you?"
"Yes!" the village chiefâs wife answered without hesitation.
Chu Xiaoyao turned to the young man, "What do you have to say?"
The young man clenched his fists and said angrily, "I didnât! I absolutely didnât! She asked me to help her, and I didnât lay a finger on her."
The village chief snorted coldly and said, "Do you think just saying you didnât do it makes it true? Kid, nothingâs over today. I kindly invited you all to stay at my house, and you had designs on my wife. Iâm going to report this right now, and you can wait for the police station to come and take you."
"I didnât!" The young man, an honest sort, was now red-faced but could only repeat his denial.
The village chief sneered, "I can see you didnât actually rape my wife, but attempted rape is still a crime. You could easily get sentenced to a year or two. And I hear youâre a college student? Well, forget about finishing college now."
The young man froze in shock. If things ended as the village chief claimed, his life would be utterly ruined. How would he face his parents, his classmates?
The village chief took note of their reactions, secretly pleased. These inexperienced kids had come looking for trouble at his home, so he needed to teach them a lesson. Now that he had the upper hand, he could start negotiating terms.
"Alright, stop crying. Letâs discuss this in the other room," the village chief said, comforting his wife while pulling her to the bed, then motioning Chu Xiaoyao and the others to another room.
Fixing his gaze on the young man, the village chief snorted coldly and said, "Kid, youâve got guts. Do you know what happens here when someone pulls a stunt like this? In the old days, people like you wouldâve been tied up and thrown into a pigsty to marinate. But now we abide by the lawâand lucky for you, Iâm the village chief. You dodged a real bullet."
"Village Chief, I really didnât do anything to your wifeâI swear. I didnât, I..." The young man tried to explain, but couldnât stop himself from crying.
The village chief sighed suddenly and said, "Stop crying. I know youâre college students, bright young men. Even if young folks slip up sometimes, they deserve a chance to be forgiven. If I really sent you to the police station, your life would be over. I know you came here with good intentions, and Iâd feel bad too."
The young man, upon hearing this, felt overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Village Chief. Thank you!"
The village chief shook his head and said, "But this incident is embarrassing for me too. If I let you go without anything, how am I supposed to face my neighbors? So... just sign this paper, and weâll call it even. Then you can leave without any more trouble."
"Alright, Iâll sign, Iâll sign," the young man said hastily, reaching for the pen and paper, willing to agree to anything just to get out.
Chu Xiaoyao quickly snatched the paper and sneered, "Village Chief, you sure came prepared. Your wife just had an incident, and you already had time to write up an account of it?"
Her words roused everyone, who then instantly realized the village chief and his wife had set them up. All of them glared at him angrily.
The village chief lit a cigarette and chuckled, "Youâve got me. Yeah, this was a trapâbut you still fell for it. And let me be clear: one phone call from me, and this kid will be taken in. My eldest son works in the town, so tell me, whoâs the police station going to believeâme or you? Not to mention my second son, whoâs mixed up with the countyâs underground. If you upset him, he could show up with his men, and... well, leaving here wouldnât be so easy for you."
Chu Xiaoyao and the othersâ faces turned pale with rage. They had never encountered someone so shameless before. This was beyond anything theyâd imaginedâand now they were living it.
"Iâll also make it clear that your donation money was spent on the village. I thank you for your generosityâitâs appreciated. So why fuss over where the money went? You rich folks donate to feel good, right? Weâre grateful, the schoolâs grateful. Isnât that enough without questioning everything?"
Chu Xiaoyao gritted her teeth, "Youâre utterly shameless."
The village chief laughed heartily, "Shameless? Whatâs shame worth? This school brings in a bit of cash each year from donors. If I fixed it up properly, whoâd come donate next year?"
"Then what do you actually want?" Zhou Xiaoyue asked angrily.
The village chief smiled slyly, "Now youâre asking the real question. I donât want anything; itâs all up to you. If you donât push, I wonât push."
Chu Xiaoyao snorted coldly and said, "What if we insist on getting to the bottom of this?"
"Simple. Iâll let the police sort it out, and one of you will end up in custody. You think anyoneâs going to believe your word after that? Your donation doesnât have any official records either."
In terms of tactics, Chu Xiaoyao and the others were no match for this seasoned schemer. As mere university students, even with some worldly experience, Chu Xiaoyao felt powerless against such trickery.
"Xiaoyao, maybe... maybe we should just drop it," the young man said nervously.
"No way!" Chu Xiaoyao responded firmly.
The village chief chuckled lightly, "Young lady, donât take it so seriously. Hereâs what Iâll do: Iâll patch up the schoolâs windows with some plastic sheeting. Consider it my response to your concerns."
"Plastic sheeting?" Chu Xiaoyao and Zhou Xiaoyue exclaimed in disbelief.
"Haha, and Iâll send the school a banner to honor your generosity. Youâll get your recognition and a little glory. Isnât that enough?"
Chu Xiaoyao curled her lips disdainfully, "If I wanted to make a name for myself, I could get money anywhere and do it someplace else. Why would I bother coming here? We donated for the children, yet you spent it while theyâre left studying in drafty classrooms. Do you have an ounce of conscience?"
The village chief smirked, "Conscience? Whatâs that worth? Iâve said my pieceânow itâs your turn to decide. I donât want trouble, but if you push me, I wonât hold back."
Chu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "Alright, weâll let this go for now."
"Fine. Just sign over there to make sure you donât come back later with complaints. Iâll sleep easier, too." The village chief pointed to the paper in Chu Xiaoyaoâs hand.
Chu Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "Fine, Iâll sign."
"Xiaoyao..." the young man protested in alarm.
Chu Xiaoyao shot him a look, "Sign it. Do you think Iâd hurt you?"
After some hesitation, the young man finally gritted his teeth and signed his name.
The village chief took the paper and laughed heartily, "Great! Now everyoneâs happyâhow wonderful! Rest well tonight, and Iâll send you home tomorrow." With that, he swaggered out.
"Xiaoyao, is this really over?" Zhou Xiaoyue asked reluctantly.
Chu Xiaoyao snorted, "Thatâs what they want, but thereâs no point in confronting them now. Once my husband sends his people, weâll see how they like being ruined."
"Oh!" Zhou Xiaoyueâs eyes lit up. She had absolute faith in Li Yifei. A little village chief wouldnât stand a chance. How foolish he was to provoke Chu Xiaoyao!
Chu Xiaoyao had matured considerablyâonce, she might have confronted the village chief head-on, but now sheâd learned to protect herself first before planning her next move.
When they returned to their room, Chu Xiaoyao sent Li Yifei a WeChat message explaining the situation. Li Yifei replied quickly, telling her not to act rashly and promising to arrive the next morning.
"Are you coming personally, hubby?"
"Of course. My wifeâs been bulliedâhow could I not show up?"
"Hubby, I love you to death!" Chu Xiaoyao grinned ear to ear, feeling both excited and moved. Among the many outstanding women in their family, she might have been the least remarkableâalso the most willful and mischievousâbut Li Yifei still treated her so well.
"Your husbandâs really coming?" Zhou Xiaoyue asked eagerly after seeing the WeChat messages.
Chu Xiaoyao clenched her fists, "Yes, heâll be here first thing tomorrow morning. Hmph, weâll see who gets ruined this time. If I donât crush them, Iâll stop calling myself Chu."
"That village chiefâs finished. Letâs see how he likes being so wickedâitâs time he got what he deserves," Zhou Xiaoyue said excitedly. She liked Li Yifei as a brother-in-law very much.
