Chapter 921 - 921: Chen Li Seeks Help

Young Wu's body was transported back in the evening. Upon seeing her son, Young Wu's mother didn't cry or scream; she just held her son, refusing to let him be placed inside the coffin.

Tie Yidao squatted in the courtyard, smoking a cigarette; it seemed to be the only way to vent his inner frustration.

At this moment, Tie Yanmin walked through the gate with seven people behind him.

"Why are you here? Get out of here!" Tie Yidao exploded in anger.

Although the police said that his son died in an accident, in his eyes, Tie Yanmin and his group were still involved.

"Uncle, Young Wu was our friend; no matter what, we have to come and see him." Tie Yanmin said with a face full of sorrow.

Tie Yidao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Alright, you don't want to leave, huh?"

Saying this, he took down the machete hanging on the wall.

The people in the courtyard hurriedly stopped him, pulling him aside and persuading him fervently.

A man with sideburns walked over and said to Tie Yanmin, "Take a look, say a few words, and leave quickly. Don't cause any more trouble."

Tie Yanmin nodded, leading the seven people inside the house.

Tiewa was still sitting alone on the bedding, staring blankly with eyes full of bloodshot lines, his appearance eliciting pity.

From the inner room came the sound of persuasion, and looking inside from the doorway, one could see Tiewa's mother holding Young Wu, gently patting him as if soothing a baby.

"I'm going to the toilet; you go in first." Tie Yanmin said to the seven people behind him.

The seven nodded without suspicion and entered the inner room.

At this time, only Tiewa and Tie Yanmin were left in the outer room. But the former ignored the latter, treating him as if he was air.

Tie Yanmin glanced around, took out a bun from his pocket, and handed it to Tiewa: "Brother Tiewa, have a meat bun.

I heard you haven't eaten for more than a day; your health will collapse if you keep this up."

Tiewa pushed the bun aside, too lazy to say a word.

An angry look fleetingly crossed Tie Yanmin's eyes, and after checking that no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Brother Tiewa, if you eat it, I'll tell you a secret."

Tiewa still looked straight ahead, unmoved.

Tie Yanmin squinted and added, "A... secret about your brother Young Wu."

"Hmm?" Tiewa immediately reacted, asking, "Is what you're saying true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Alright, I'll eat!"

After speaking, Tiewa grabbed the meat bun, took a huge bite, chewed a few times, and swallowed; then he stuffed the remaining small piece into his mouth.

"I've finished eating, now tell me." Tiewa asked eagerly.

Tie Yanmin glanced outside; at this moment, Tie Yidao had already calmed down.

He knew he couldn't stay here long, so he found an excuse: "Brother Tiewa, I want to go in to see Young Wu first. When I come out, I'll definitely tell you, okay?"

"Okay, you can go." Tiewa nodded in agreement.

Tie Yanmin was pleased, thinking to himself that the fool was surprisingly easy to deceive.

Entering the inner room, Tie Yanmin stood with the seven, just waiting for Tiewa to be poisoned and then leaving.

However, five minutes passed...

Ten minutes passed...

Fifteen minutes passed...

The outer room remained quiet, with no sign of anything amiss.

Could it be that the person had already died, but the people in the courtyard just noticed and thought the fool was asleep?

But when the rat poison takes effect without any commotion, that doesn't make sense either.

"Let's leave then. On the day of the funeral, we all have to be present, no matter what, to send Young Wu off on his final journey!" Tie Yanmin said with a tone of sorrow.

The seven nodded, following him out of the room.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they heard Tiewa ask, "Is it time to tell now?"

"???" Tie Yanmin was stunned!

How could it be that fifteen minutes have passed and nothing has happened?

Did the rat poison expire?

Or was it simply a counterfeit?

The seven were bewildered: "Tell what?"

Tiewa pointed at Tie Yanmin and explained: "He told me if I ate..."

Tie Yanmin hurriedly interrupted: "I promised Brother Tiewa to tell him about Young Wu."

Joking aside, if they mentioned the meat bun, wouldn't that make him a murderer?

Even though now it seemed the fool was perfectly fine, what if the rat poison took effect later?

As it turned out, Tie Yanmin's worry was indeed justified.

Just when he was stammering, unsure of what to say, Tiewa suddenly clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and wetting the ground.

"Dumbass... Brother Tiewa, what's wrong?" Someone rushed over to support him.

"Stomach... stomach hurts, ugh..." Tiewa squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, followed by a full-body tremble.

"Brother Tiewa!" A scream came from the courtyard.

Chen Li, carrying a lunch box, swiftly ran to Tiewa, tears brimming with anxiety: "What's the matter? Don't scare me!"

"Thud!"

Tiewa collapsed to the ground, foam pouring from his mouth, his whole body trembling non-stop.

"I'll go get a doctor, Brother Tiewa, hang in there!" Chen Li wiped her tears, tossed the lunch box aside, and ran out at top speed.

Meanwhile, the people in the courtyard noticed the anomaly and rushed over to check the situation.

...

"Old Tie, since the matter is settled, we'll be leaving tomorrow." Sun Shijie raised his glass and said, "Take good care of yourself. The recipe is under your pillow, just take it on time later."

"Leaving so soon?" Tiebushan, out of courtesy, showed a desire to urge them to stay.

Sun Shijie took a sip of wine and sighed: "At this age, there's not much time left to waste. If only I were twenty years younger, I'd definitely stay with you for a while.

By the way, when I return, we'll first send a batch of chicken manure to you; old donkey's phone number is kept, just let him fetch it."

Tiebushan nodded: "I'm not worried about that; mainly, you've come all this way, so you should stay a few days longer so we can catch up."

"Ah, catching up..."

The words were interrupted by Xiao Feng who said: "Staying two more days is fine; didn't the police ask us to be ready to cooperate with the investigation anytime?"

Sun Shijie immediately understood; Xiao Feng still wanted that dark-faced young man to come along.

If that's the case, they'll definitely have to wait until Young Wu is buried.

However, just as he was about to nod, there came a series of urgent knocks on the door, sounding like there was something pressing.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Xiao Feng walked over to open the door, thinking to himself, could something have happened again?

The door opened, revealing a sweaty, panting Chen Li with a face full of anxiety.

"Did something happen?" Xiao Feng asked first.

Chen Li nodded continuously: "Tiewa... Brother Tiewa fainted, before fainting he was shouting about a stomach ache, and foam was coming out of his mouth. I went to find the village doctor, but the clinic was closed.

You're from the city, more knowledgeable; could you come over to help take a look?"

Xiao Feng's gaze sharpened, turning back to call Sun Shijie: "Old man, come with me!"

Sun Shijie didn't hesitate, grabbed his backpack from the house, and followed him out.
