Chapter 49: The Great Beast Makes its Appearance
Qin Huairu stood quietly beside Banggeng's coffin.
At that moment, she was also afraid. She had an urge to escape back to Qin Family Village.
But no, she still has a job. Without that job, she'd be starving.
Although Banggeng is dead, she still has two daughters. By taking in sons-in-law, the Jia family line can continue.
Most of the beasts in the compound are like Qin Huairu. Some are broke, others are tied down by work; none of them can escape.
Besides, in this day and age, you can't just leave whenever you want. Without a legitimate reason, you won't even get a letter of introduction. Without a letter of introduction, you'll be stuck at a loss.
Qin Huairu stood there, her mind racing. This was it; she had to save herself.
Old Mo just said that he was the one who killed the person. She absolutely believes it to be true.
Now, all three families occupying his house have lost members.
Old Mo has already killed so many people, there's no way he'll stop.
The Jia family is of utmost importance; would Lao Mo let them off the hook?
What to do? What to do now?
Qin Huairu felt a strong sense of urgency. Now, the issue of burying Bang Geng had become a minor matter. The issue of Jia Zhangshi's arrest was even more insignificant.
It's actually safer now that Jia Zhangshi is inside!
She now has to find a way to save lives, to save her whole family.
What should I do? What should I do?
The entire Liu family is dead, hiding in their home. Her two daughters are still in school; wouldn't it be even easier for Lao Mo to kill them?
What's infuriating is that now, anyone who could offer her advice is either dead or in jail. He doesn't even have anyone to consult with anymore.
Yes, there's a deaf old lady, and another deaf old lady.
At this moment, Qin Huairu finally remembered the deaf old lady.
Yes, and there's also an old man, the pillar of the compound.
Although the old man went inside, he still had energy.
She wanted to help the old man, and ideally, get him out of there. That way, the old man would be grateful and would do his best to help her.
How can I help him?
Yes, find Factory Director Yang.
Thinking about this, Qin Huairu's mind suddenly became clear.
If Director Yang is willing to step in and help, then there is still hope.
The next morning, Qin Huairu went to the factory early to find Director Yang. She believed that as long as she brought up the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, Director Yang would definitely not stand idly by.
Old Mo completely ignored all of this.
He had arranged to teach Old Xu how to fish today. This was part of his plan; he needed to secure Old Xu's services.
So, no matter how urgent it is to find his daughter, he still has to go fishing for that fish.
When we arrived at Shichahai, Old Xu was indeed already waiting for us.
Because Lao Mo had called him, Old Xu immediately had someone check on Lao Mo.
The result was that this young man was a pitiful person. Not only was his family destroyed by others, but after returning from prison, he was targeted everywhere, arrested, and wrongfully convicted of murder.
Old Xu is a rather upright person. At this moment, Old Mo is disguising himself very well; the assertiveness and arrogance he displays when facing his enemies are nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Lao Mo was a pitiful man who made a living by fishing and exchanging fish for a little money.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of Lao Mo.
When fishing, Lao Mo didn't mention anything about his own affairs, focusing solely on teaching Lao Xu how to fish.
Old Xu grew even more fond of this young man.
If it were anyone else, having the opportunity to climb up to such a powerful figure, they would have already asked him for help to resolve the matter.
But Lao Mo didn't. He would go fishing as soon as he was told to, and he would never talk about anything else.
Some might say that if Elder Xu were to intervene, this matter would be resolved with just a few words.
In fact, it's not that simple. First of all, Mr. Xu is not a member of the public security system.
If you're not part of this system, you can't check it yourself; you have to ask someone for help and use their connections.
Even if the public security system gives you face and helps you investigate, you still don't know what the results will be!
It's possible that the investigation results could be detrimental to Lao Mo. Human nature, interests—the issues involved are far too complex.
So, this is not something that can be resolved in a single sentence.
Old Mo didn't think their relationship had reached that level yet. So he didn't mention it and just did what he had to do.
…………
In the afternoon, Lao Mo cooked two dishes and got a meal, packed them in a lunchbox, and went to the outside of the deaf old lady's ward.
Before even reaching the door, Lao Mo scanned the area with his consciousness, paused, and stopped.
Yes, there are people in the ward.
And these weren't just any ordinary people; they were the renowned Factory Director Yang, along with Qin Huairu. There were also three others in white coats, one of whom was clearly a leader at the hospital. The other two were likely a doctor and a nurse.
The original owner of this body was a local native, and he had met Director Yang before. Therefore, he recognized him at a glance.
You can't hear them talking with your mind. Old Mo took two lunch boxes and came to the door and stood there.
Inside the ward, the deaf old lady held Director Yang's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"Little Yang! Thank you for remembering me and coming to see this old woman! Otherwise, I would have died here without anyone knowing!"
Factory Director Yang gently patted the back of her hand.
"Please don't say that, ma'am. You saved my life! I will never forget this kindness in my life."
Qin Huairu and the three people in white coats stood to the side, watching expressionlessly.
"Grandma, who could be so cruel as to hurt you like this? If I find out, I will never let them get away with it."
"It was Old Mo, that bastard Old Mo. Yesterday he came to humiliate me with two lunchboxes, and he admitted it himself. I've never suffered such humiliation in my life! Waaaaah..."
The deaf old lady cried her heart out.
"Who is Old Mo?"
Factory Director Yang was so angry that he clenched his fists.
Qin Huairu interjected, "Old Mo is a resident in our compound, named Chen Jinmo. He's that bastard who went to jail three years ago."
After being reminded by him, Director Yang immediately remembered who it was.
The deaf old woman said with tears streaming down her face, "That damned old Mo, because of that incident, he's going to torture me to death!"
I'm too scared to go home now. I'm so old, and I can't even go home. What am I supposed to do?
Old Mo, standing outside the door, immediately had a dangerous look in his eyes.
The three men in white coats might not understand what he was saying, but Old Mo did.
In other words, Director Yang was involved in the matter of seizing the houses. At the very least, he knew about it, but the extent of the deal was still uncertain.
Seeing the deaf old lady like this, Director Yang felt very bad.
"Grandma, don't cry. Let's get better first. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help Sha Zhu and Master Yi. I can't guarantee anything about Sha Zhu, though, because that's a very big deal."
But I'll get Master Yi out as soon as possible. I'll also take care of Lao Mo's matter for you. Please focus on your recovery and don't worry about these things, okay?
