Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 2066: Chapter 2066: The Frightened Village Chief Ruan

Ruan Chengqian’s words were like thunder out of the blue, stunning everyone present.

Ruan Hai’s face turned ashen, gripping his eldest son’s hand tightly, eyes wide.

Constable Jiang, who was about to leave, suddenly turned to Ruan Chengqian, “What did you just say?”

“Bailiff, just now I went up the mountain to trap prey, but I chased a wild rabbit and veered off course, and then stumbled upon a hand protruding from a buried corpse. It was terrifying.”

Constable Jiang’s expression was grave, “Where’s the corpse? Lead the way.”

“Yes, right this way, bailiff.”

Ruan Hai opened his mouth to try to stop them, “Bailiff, wait…”

Constable Jiang wouldn’t listen to him, he waved his hand, summoned other constables to follow Ruan Chengqian.

The nearby villagers looked at each other, each with disbelief on their faces. How could there be a corpse on the mountain of the Ruan Family Village?

Ruan Hai wanted to follow without thinking, but his legs were already sore, and after hearing Ruan Chengqian’s words, they grew even weaker. A thought flashed through his mind, realizing he was in deep trouble, he could only watch helplessly as Constable Jiang’s figure gradually disappeared.

No, I must stop it, otherwise the murderer will be found out.

Ruan Hai grabbed his eldest son’s hand, intending to send him back to deliver a message. He couldn’t do anything else now but he must ensure Ruan Kewei escapes and hides.

Just as he was about to instruct his eldest son, Shu Yu, nearby, spoke with confusion, “Village Chief Ruan, are you alright? We should catch up. After all, you are the village chief of Ruan Family Village, and such a big incident in your village surely requires your leadership.” She urged the Ruan family’s eldest son, “Why don’t you carry your father, Village Chief Ruan is elderly after all, likely he can’t keep up.”

The Ruan family’s eldest son quickly agreed, unaware of the murder and burial committed by his father and Ruan Kewei.

Of course, Ruan Hai couldn’t possibly tell anyone about such a serious matter, not even his family, to avoid accidentally letting it slip and bringing fatal disaster to Ruan Kewei.

Thus, only he and Ruan Kewei knew about it.

The Ruan family’s eldest son harbored no doubts, and after hearing Shu Yu’s words, he crouched down to carry Ruan Hai.

Ruan Hai was breathless under Shu Yu’s gaze, he could only climb onto his back.

However, since he didn’t need to walk himself, Ruan Hai calmed down slightly. He looked at nearby villagers, took a deep breath and said, “Discovering a corpse in the village is an extremely serious matter. Little Goat, you go find several elders in the village and explain the situation, and swing by my house to have the younger ones come over to help.”

The villager froze for a moment, though he was eager to follow up the mountain for a look, but with the village chief’s directive, he couldn’t disobey. He nodded quickly and ran off.

Seeing this, Ruan Hai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Kewei knows the corpse in the mountain has been discovered, he will surely grasp what he means. If he temporarily leaves and hides outside for a period, after that, Ruan Hai could figure out a plan.

This time Shu Yu didn’t obstruct. She even looked at Ruan Hai with a hint of a smile, and the group continued to move forward.

No one noticed when Ying Xi, who had always followed closely beside her, disappeared.

Even if some villagers noticed her absence, they only assumed she had gone ahead with the constables to help.

Shu Yu didn’t walk quickly, after all, she had to keep pace with Ruan Hai. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were blocked by two constables, forbidding villagers from entering.
