Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Calls from Various Parties Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Calls from Various Parties Zhang Yuewen hurriedly supported his grandfather, as chaos erupted in the brigade headquarters. Everyone quickly lent a hand to send the man to the health clinic.
At the entrance of the health clinic, many villagers were idly chatting. Once they understood the ins and outs of the incident, they all felt embarrassed for Zhang Yinwen.
“What were you thinking? After such a serious incident, you didn’t even ask how injured the other party was, and you immediately demanded someone go to the police station to bail them out.”
“You’ve really got some nerve. But then again, if Zhang Qiaoyan’s deed got out, it could truly affect the village’s reputation. Who would have thought that Zhang Qiaoyan, who prides herself on being cultured daily, could harbor such malice? If Luo Qiao hadn’t saved herself, I’m afraid there really would have been a disaster.”
“And how can you expect someone to act as if nothing happened just because they didn’t suffer serious injuries? Isn’t that just bullying? Just because the Secretary’s daughter is from an influential family, does she get to do whatever she wants?”
After Doctor Gao gave an injection, Zhang Yinwen slowly regained consciousness, but Doctor Gao said, “Yuewen, your grandfather’s condition doesn’t look right. Find someone to take him to the health center immediately, I’m afraid he’s had a stroke.”
Zhang Yuewen, frightened, asked, “How can it be a stroke so suddenly?”
Doctor Gao replied, “He probably had underlying health problems that were triggered by getting angry. It’s best to get him to the health center quickly, so as not to delay further.”
Zhang Yuewen quickly had someone call his father, his uncle, and his aunts over. He also had someone push the brigade’s truck over and had someone go back to his house to ask his mother for a blanket to make his grandfather more comfortable.
When Zhang Yinwen’s sons and daughters heard their father had a stroke, the daughters burst into tears beside the truck.
The brigade chief couldn’t bear to watch any longer and said, “Don’t just stand there crying, get him to the health center quickly!”
Watching the truck carrying Zhang Yinwen away, the villagers laughed at him. Fed up, meddling in affairs that didn’t concern him, Zhang Qiaoyan had tried to commit murder, a criminal act, and he wanted to use his influence to suppress the matter. How daring of him.
Meanwhile, what was Zhang Dezheng doing?
He was indeed pulling strings, but the leaders of Chaoyang Commune shut their doors on him, avoiding him as if he were the plague. Some, out of concern for decorum, exchanged a few cold words and then made excuses to leave.
Lu Yichen worried that Zhang Dezheng would use his connections. He also feared that intervening on Luo Qiao’s behalf would be disadvantageous since he was one of the witnesses.
Therefore, he called Yuan Weicheng directly.
Impulsive as always, Yuan Weicheng made a call straight to the Commune Secretary and made it clear that the incident must be dealt with severely. He threatened that if the outcome wasn’t to his satisfaction, he would come personally from Capital City.
He also had his big brother, Yuan Weizhou, make a call to Ji City, urging them to look into the matter. Soon enough, Chaoyang Commune received not only the call from Yuan Weicheng from the Capital City Military Region but also calls from county and city leaders.
Eventually, they even received a call from the provincial level. Now, no one in the Commune dared to intervene in the matter. Besides, they really couldn’t handle such a case; who would dare to defend someone capable of murder?
As a result, Zhang Dezheng returned to the village in a dejected state. Once back, he felt that everyone’s gaze was strange, and some were whispering about something.
When he got home, he found the Iron General blocking the door, which reminded him that he had told his family to stay at his father-in-law’s house to avoid the gossip.
With his daughter causing such trouble today, he knew the villagers wouldn’t hold back their harsh words. Fearing that his wife and son would be provoked, he had them stay on his father-in-law’s side.
Anyway, everyone in the village knew that his mother-in-law was at the hospital, so the story seemed credible enough.
