Su Qing chimed in, “Indeed, that’s correct. He and Uncle are very close friends. On the night when w.a.n.g Dafei committed that crime, he was even out drinking with Uncle.”
“I recall that Uncle got apprehended by the bailiffs back then, but he was eventually acquitted.”
“From this, we can deduce that even if a close friend were to commit a crime, as long as he wasn’t involved, he wouldn’t be unfairly implicated.”
Su Cheng nodded in agreement. “So, it’s safe to say Second Brother won’t be wrongly implicated in this a.s.sault, right?”
Su Lan rea.s.sured them, saying, “Absolutely, there’s no need to worry, everyone.”
Su Bin added, “This is common sense, something even a three-year-old would understand. Someone’s trying to use this as a threat against us, what a ridiculous notion!”
Ms. Lin was so infuriated that she nearly burst a blood vessel. She rose from the ground and stormed out, hurling curses.
Qin Zhenzhen sneakily glanced at Su Bin and couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.
This kid certainly knew how to handle the avaricious Ms. Lin.
He didn’t return home until the following morning.
With a grim expression, Su Bin made a decision. “Let’s head to the county first. Second Brother is most likely there.”
“If he doesn’t show up, we won’t wait any longer and will go straight to the prefectural city.”
Then, Su Bin instructed Qian Shanmin, “Brother Shanmin, I’m entrusting the safety of my sister and Xiaoyu to you. And, keep an eye on my fifth brother too.”
Su Bin had already covered Su Cheng’s registration fee.
In ancient times, there were no winter or summer breaks in the traditional sense of modern education. There weren’t clear distinctions between the previous and upcoming semesters. Unlike the structured grade system we have today, before taking the Cultivated Talent exam, they received monthly tuition. If they paid for a month, they could study for a month.
Typically, there was only one cla.s.sroom in the village, and in the town’s school, there was just a single teacher. This allowed Su Cheng to enroll even in the middle of the month.
Qian Shanmin expressed his a.s.surance, saying, “I’ll ensure their well-being.”
Early in the morning, Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen, Su Qing, Su Ning, and Qin Silong made their way to the county city.
Their first stop was at Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle’s house.
Qin Silong and Su Qing were about to venture out to gather information regarding his whereabouts when Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle appeared alongside him.
Upon inquiring about the situation, they learned that the troublemakers who had come looking for him had gone into hiding after severely injuring Qian Erhu. Fortunately, they later received news that Qian Erhu had been rescued, and no fatalities occurred, leading the aggressors to let their guard down.
Nonetheless, they couldn’t approach him openly, fearing potential repercussions if they remained in the town. Instead, they left a message for him, instructing him to meet them in the county.
He eventually made his way to the county on his own, but rather than encountering those individuals, he disclosed their whereabouts to Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle.
Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle promptly reported this to the county governor, who, upon receiving the information, ordered the arrest of all those involved.
This act underscored his determination to sever all ties with those wrongdoers.
Qin Silong couldn’t help but cast another scrutinizing gaze at him. Could this seemingly ruthless individual truly be willing to disa.s.sociate himself entirely from those gangsters?
Could it be that he was pretending for him to see because he wanted to learn his martial arts?
Hmph, it’s often easier to change a country than to change one’s nature!
Let’s wait and see what the future holds for him!
He wouldn’t teach him martial arts until he was certain he had improved!
The group rented a carriage and departed for the prefecture on the same day. During the journey, he felt perplexed. He attempted to engage Qin Silong in conversation several times, but Qin Silong brushed him off.
Instead, Qin Silong treated his fourth brother warmly and engaged in conversation with him.
On the day when he took a blow intended for Qin Silong, their relations.h.i.+p had improved noticeably. Qin Silong even carried him home.
Why had their dynamic changed so suddenly?
