The more Lin Bai listened, the more confused he became. He saw a few strangers in the crowd. He had not seen them yesterday, but they looked angry and bitter.
Other than Qian Ran, he was sure that he had not offended these people. He did not understand why they were the same.
“May I ask why you are saying that? What did I do to make you all look like this?”
That person sized up Lin Bai and snorted disdainfully, “Looking at how you are dressed in such neat clothes, I didn’t expect that you would do such a shameless thing. If you dared to do it, why don’t you dare to admit!”
Qian Ran said loudly, “Because he is simply trying to quibble and get away with it.”
This group of people rushed in and said that Lin Bai was guilty and accused him for a long time. He did not understand what they were saying at all. Lin Bai’s expression darkened and his voice was extremely cold.
“Then tell me what crime I have committed.”
A cold aura was emitted from his body, scaring everyone. They looked at each other and said, “I think you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. If you have the ability, come with us.”
“Let’s go!”
After saying that, Lin Bai strode out of the room. He was not afraid that this was a conspiracy of Qian Ran and the others. They were trying to smear him. After all, his strength had increased greatly and he had the ability to protect himself. He wanted to see what these people were up to.
The others looked at each other and followed closely behind.
Lin Bai followed Qian Ran and felt that this road was somewhat familiar. It was the direction to the herbal field. He had come here once before, so he had some impression of it. However, because of the trouble caused by the three little ones afterwards., it had caused quite a bit of trouble for Chen Yan.
Qian Ran said in a deep voice, “Look at what you’ve done!”
What he saw was a mess. All the soil in the medicinal field had been turned over. The roots and stems of those plants had all been pulled out and exposed outside. By the time Qian Ran discovered it, it was already too late. Even resuscitation could not save them.
Some of them were missing some leaves, and some of them were missing some branches. All in all, the most essential parts had all been lost. Perhaps the instigator had lost his patience in the end and just threw them out without touching them.
As for the medicinal herbs that were better, there was no trace of them. They were probably taken away.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Bai felt that it was somehow familiar. This kind of modus operandi seemed to have happened again a few days ago.
Seeing that Lin Bai did not speak, Qian Ran sneered and said, “What do you have to say now? If it wasn’t you who did it, who else could it be!”
This area was under Qian Ran’s responsibility. If there were any problems, the higher-ups would probably find trouble with them. Therefore, when they got up in the morning, they immediately rushed over when they heard the news. The first person they thought of was Lin Bai.
“I just had an argument with you yesterday, and we parted on bad terms. At night, you deliberately took revenge on me and damaged the herbal field to such a state. You’re really quick.”
The more Qian Ran thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high. A malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “Lin Bai, you destroyed the herbal field maliciously and even tried to frame me. What crime should you be guilty of?”
Lin Bai smiled coldly. “IfI think you deliberately set up a trap to frame me.”
Qian Ran seemed to have heard a big joke. “I framed you? Lin Bai, you think too highly of yourself. Why would I pay such a big price just to frame a small figure like you? Do I have nothing better to do?”
“You still want to quibble when you’re about to die? Do you know that this herbal field belongs to that master? I’m afraid that you won’t even know how you will die.”
“That’s right. If you’re sensible, hurry up and confess to the crime. Otherwise, we’ll have to invite the elder of the law enforcement hall over to uphold justice. Let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant.”
“I heard that he was the one who messed up alchemist Chen’s herbal field last time. He also has a grudge against senior brother Qian. who else could have done such a thing for revenge other than him?”
The crowd was whispering among themselves, looking at Lin Bai with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
Seeing that the crowd was getting angry, Lin Bai couldn’t help but frown. From Qian Ran’s tone, this herbal field wasn’t his either. He was just helping someone manage it. Moreover, that person’s background was quite big.
Other than that, the surrounding herbal fields had also been damaged. If Qian Ran and the others had wanted to frame him, they wouldn’t have destroyed the other people’s herbal fields. Moreover, the damage was so severe. If they had lost a few precious herbs, there was still room for redemption.
However, there was no need for them to pay such a price to frame him. They were not fools. Thinking of this, Lin Bai was a little confused. If it was not Qian Ran, then who was it.
He could not help but think of the scene where Chen Yan’s herb field was destroyed last time.
Seeing that Lin Bai was silent, Qian Ran could not stop laughing coldly. “The evidence and witnesses are all here. Let’s see how you will defend yourself this time.”
“I didn’t do it. I have nothing to do after eating my fill. There’s no need for me to destroy the herbal field just to take revenge on a defeated opponent like you. That’s just creating trouble for myself?”
Qian Ran’s expression froze, and then his face turned red like a cooked prawn. No one knew whether he was angry or embarrassed, but he was suddenly exposed by Lin Bai. It could be said that he had lost a lot of face.
The people around him all had different expressions. Qian Ran was usually arrogant and was used to showing off. The others were already used to it. They were extremely surprised to see him being taught a lesson by a newcomer.
“What? Senior Brother Qian was actually defeated by him? No way, did I hear wrong?”
Facing the whispers of the people around him, Qian Ran flew into a rage out of embarrassment. He glared at Lin Bai fiercely, and his expression twisted for a moment. He said in a flustered and exasperated manner, “Shut up! You’re about to die, yet you’re still stubborn.”
“Men! Take him down for me.”
