I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 405: Why Does He Hate Him?
Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Why Does He Hate Him?
Chen Tianliang was distracted, so Mr. Qian caught him off guard and crazily punched him.
Unprepared, Chen Tianliang fell to the ground, and chaos erupted at the scene.
Everyone finally reacted, rushing forward to stop it. Among the commune’s staff, there was one about Mr. Qian’s age, whom everyone called Old Zhao. He looked at Chen Tianliang, bewildered. Wasn’t it said that he had long since died? How come he was still alive?
Chen Tianliang, on the other hand, stared fiercely at Mr. Qian, his voice filled with outrage and hoarseness, "What are you talking about? Whose life am I supposed to compensate you for?"
Mr. Qian didn’t respond. He continued to glare at Chen Tianliang, and as his rationality gradually returned, his gloomy eyes swept over Chen Tianliang. Yes, this was that smooth-talking scoundrel, Chen Tianliang...
He clenched his teeth, about to say something, but the next moment, he felt the world spinning, and everything went black before his eyes. Mr. Qian fell straight back.
Some were rushing to call for an ambulance, others were shouting not to move him until the doctor arrived, and Lu Ye didn’t even know what had happened, but he was responsible for hosting the inspection team.
He instructed the deputy head and several other staff members to take everyone to the meeting room while Mr. Qian was carried on a stretcher to the commune’s health clinic.
The health clinic was not far from the commune, and several people quickly disappeared around the corner of the large wall.
The head of the inspection team stopped Chen Tianliang, who was about to follow them, frowning, "Tianliang, be mindful of the impact, let’s discuss whatever it is later."
Chen Tianliang stopped in his tracks, his mind still in disarray. He looked in the direction where Mr. Qian and the others had disappeared, his brows also deeply furrowed.
However, he could no longer speak up. His behavior today had been somewhat rude, and he hadn’t expected Mr. Qian’s reaction upon seeing him would be so intense. He thought Mr. Qian would feel guilty, embarrassed, and unable to meet his eye.
Instead, the situation had turned out like this, with Mr. Qian’s eyes filled with hatred towards him.
Why did he hate him?
At that moment, he saw a familiar person approaching him. Chen Tianliang struggled to speak, "Mr. Zhao..."
Old Zhao looked somberly at Chen Tianliang and then turned to the team leader next to him with a smile, "Secretary Xu, let’s head to the meeting room first..."
Secretary Xu also smiled and nodded, "Alright."
Old Zhao glanced at Chen Tianliang again, his lips moved, wanting to say something, but considering the inappropriate situation, he swallowed his words and then, with various thoughts, they went to the commune’s meeting room.
However, with Mr. Qian, the head of Xiaxi Commune, not present, the atmosphere seemed somewhat downcast.
The deputy head was a smooth talker and quickly smoothed things over.
Xiaxi Commune had its plans ready, and so did the inspection team. After comparing notes, they were ready to set off to visit the thousand silk hemp experimental fields first, planning to finish touring Barley Grassland and alfalfa fields before dinner.
At this time, Chen Tianliang also quickly adjusted his state, softly speaking to Secretary Xu, his expression returning to normal, while Old Zhao felt a rage brewing.
However, he also tried to suppress it, knowing that making a scene would do no one any good, and some things were better left unsaid.
Once the itinerary was set, everyone began to leave the meeting room gradually. Old Zhao packed up his notebook while watching Chen Tianliang, who was also organizing his documents.
Chen Tianliang noticed Old Zhao’s disconcerted expression and spoke softly to Secretary Xu, "Uncle, I need to ask Mr. Zhao something."
Secretary Xu glanced discreetly at Chen Tianliang. The boy called him uncle, indicating a personal matter, so what could he do? He had no choice but to agree, though it really wasn’t the right situation. However, he knew that Chen Tianliang had been a sent-down youth here, having spent three to four years in total.
It was natural for him to have matters to deal with here, though he himself was unaware.
"Be mindful of your timing. We’re setting off soon."
Secretary Xu ultimately agreed.
Chen Tianliang gratefully looked at the leader and said softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble for our inspection team."
Secretary Xu and Mr. Zhao smiled. Mr. Zhao also said warmly, "I’ll have a word with Tianliang, and then we’ll head out."
Soon, only Mr. Zhao and Chen Tianliang were left in the meeting room, standing on opposite sides of the table, facing each other from a distance.
Old Zhao thought for a moment and then decided to close the door.
Chen Tianliang ultimately couldn’t hold back and asked softly, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Qian said I owe his daughter’s life... What is this about?"
Chen Tianliang felt uneasy as he spoke, but he forcefully suppressed it, trying to convince himself that those were just the nonsensical, scolding words of the former head of the commune.
Old Zhao sighed, "Mr. Qian went to the health clinic, and actually, I don’t know if I should tell you this, but since our inspection team will be passing through Sanliwa, I thought about it, and regardless, you should go see Xinghua..."
Hearing Old Zhao’s words, the heavy feeling in Chen Tianliang’s throat eased, unaware that his back was breaking out in a cold sweat. His voice a bit hoarse, he said, "Mr. Zhao, is Xinghua’s home there?"
Old Zhao looked curiously at Chen Tianliang and then suddenly furrowed his brow, a disbelieving thought arising in his mind. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Could it be that Chen Tianliang knew nothing at all?
Was that even possible?
At that moment, Old Zhao’s expression became unsteadier, but he quickly calmed himself. He sighed, "Chen Tianliang, you were a sent-down youth here; you should know where Sanliwa is, right?"
In that instant, Chen Tianliang’s heart began to pound wildly. Having been a sent-down youth here, how could he not know? It was a cemetery.
At that moment, Chen Tianliang’s mind went blank. He stared blankly at Old Zhao and muttered, "Mr. Zhao, what kind of joke are you making with me? Why would I go there to see Xinghua... Xinghua, wasn’t she supposed to have gotten married?"
Indeed, he didn’t know.
But Old Zhao looked at Chen Tianliang strangely, "You really don’t know?"
Chen Tianliang turned pale, his voice trembling, "Mr. Zhao, what... What should I know?"
Old Zhao’s expression darkened, and suddenly, the room fell into an indescribable silence.
He wondered whether he should tell Chen Tianliang.
Seeing that Chen Tianliang wasn’t the person everyone spoke of, it seemed he was truly uninformed. But what of it?
She was already gone.
