Chapter 202 The Scheme Fails

As time went on, villagers flocked in like a tide, and the once spacious room now seemed crowded and almost completely filled.

People whispered and talked amongst themselves, filling the entire space with a cacophony of voices.

The village chief stood in the center of the crowd, his eyes fixed on Jiang Long and Lin Huanhuan, his brows furrowed deeply.

Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted, "What exactly is going on? You two, explain yourselves clearly!"

Just as Jiang Long opened his mouth to answer, Xiahou Jie stepped forward first. He calmly said, "Village Chief, in my opinion, they're definitely dating. It can't be an affair!"

After saying that, he gave the village chief a meaningful look.

After hearing this, the village chief turned his gaze to Jiang Long and Lin Huanhuan and asked seriously, "Is that really the case?"

At this moment, a smile quickly appeared on Jiang Long's face. He nodded and replied without hesitation, "That's right, village chief, we are indeed dating, and we're going to get our marriage certificate today!"

Before he finished speaking, he reached out and gently took Lin Huanhuan's hand.

Lin Huanhuan seemed unwilling to admit it so easily. She was about to speak in rebuttal when Jiang Long grabbed her arm.

Jiang Long leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Lin Zhiqing, do you want to go to the farm for reform? As long as we get our marriage certificate, we won't be labeled as having an affair."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huanhuan was slightly taken aback, then closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Long quickly turned to the village chief and the brigade leader, his face beaming with a fawning smile, and said, "Then I'll trouble the village chief and the brigade leader to help us issue a letter of introduction. We'll go get our marriage certificate right away, and we'll definitely live a good life from now on!"

After listening, the village chief pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, in that case, if there's nothing else, everyone else should stop watching the commotion and get back to work!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, followed closely by a group of villagers.

"Wait!" Just as the village chief and the brigade leader were about to leave, Dai Xingyun suddenly called out to them.

Hearing the shout, the village chief frowned, thinking to himself: What's wrong with this educated youth today? Hasn't everything been explained? Why is it still going on?

He turned around with a hint of impatience and asked Dai Xingyun, "Dai, is there anything else? We still have a lot of work to do. The harvest is just around the corner, and we don't have time to waste here."

Dai Xingyun, however, remained unhurried. He spoke in a calm tone: "Village chief, brigade leader, now that we know that Jiang and Lin are dating and that they have had a physical relationship..."

"Then I think we should help them out and apply to the higher-ups to let them go to Shijia Village together. After all, they just got married, and it's really not good to separate them like this."

After saying this, Dai Xingyun quietly looked at the village chief and the brigade leader, waiting for their response.

The village chief was taken aback at first, then turned to look at the brigade leader beside him, who nodded slightly in agreement.

The village chief nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, that's fine. I'm sure Shijia Village would be very happy to accept such a newlywed couple."

At this moment, Jiang Long, who had been standing silently to the side, looked increasingly grim.

It should be noted that he has been here for more than two years and is quite familiar with the local customs and the surrounding villagers.

Now, suddenly having to go to a completely unfamiliar place and start all over again is undoubtedly a huge challenge for him.

Thinking of all this, the smile that Jiang Long had been barely maintaining on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of worry and helplessness.

Seeing that the village chief and the brigade leader had already agreed, and that Jiang Long and the other man had no grounds to object, Dai Xingyun said nothing more, and everyone inside the house silently came out.

Qin Xiuxiu always considered herself Lin Huanhuan's best friend, but this time she seemed hesitant to speak.

She opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something to comfort or advise, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word. Helplessly, she turned around and followed the crowd out.

On the other side, Lin Huanhuan completely lost her mind. She ran out recklessly, like a wounded little animal, and rushed straight in front of Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie, spreading her arms to block their way.

"Why? Why are you treating me so cruelly? I just like you!"

Lin Huanhuan cried out in a hoarse voice, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, instantly blurring her originally pretty and charming face.

Facing the woman crying her heart out, Dai Xingyun showed no pity or emotion whatsoever.

He looked coldly at Lin Huanhuan and replied firmly and without room for negotiation, "When you confessed to me back then, I already clearly and explicitly rejected you."

"Now that something like this has happened, you must have poisoned the water tank, right? After all, the only thing we shared in our educated youth compound was the water in that tank."

Upon hearing Dai Xingyun's merciless accusations, Lin Huanhuan subconsciously took a small step back, a fleeting look of guilt flashing in her eyes.

However, just a moment later, she forced herself to remain calm, biting her lip and vehemently denying it: "No, I didn't drug you! Don't make baseless accusations against me!"

At this moment, Xiahou Jie, who was standing to the side, could no longer stand it. He knew that his friend always hated getting entangled with these women, so he stepped forward.

He continued, "If you really didn't drug them, then why did everyone in our educated youth compound suddenly fall into a coma? And in my opinion, there must still be traces of drugs left in the water in that vat."

"How about this, let's just report it to the authorities and ask the police to come and investigate thoroughly. We can also have the water in this tank tested. The truth will then come to light!"

Lin Huanhuan's tears flowed even more fiercely, "Why did things turn out like this?"

"Alright, let's go find the captain!" Jiang Long had come to terms with it. He was just from a small city, while Lin Huanhuan was from Kyoto. He wouldn't be at a disadvantage marrying her.
