189: Let me do you

Wu Fan held Ying Xiaomei tighter. "Does Wu Hongwei have other bad deeds?"

Ying Xiaomei said, "Plenty."

"Leaving aside corruption and embezzlement for now, there was the mine collapse accident the year before last, which crushed the old bachelor Wu Yong to death. He later hastily buried the matter, wouldn't that count as taking a life?"

"Sigh, he's done too many heartless things."

The more Wu Fan listened, the more shocked he became.

He truly never expected that a mere Village Director could harbor such monstrous crimes.

What was even more unbelievable was that he could run rampant for nearly thirty years, living a comfortable life as if nothing had happened. It was truly strange.

Ying Xiaomei promised that if he gave her one week, she could prepare all the materials necessary to expose Wu Hongwei's evil deeds.

Wu Fan felt greatly relieved and also somewhat expectant.

"Xiaomei, just prepare the materials and hand them over to me. I have a way to make sure he spends the New Year in prison."

Ying Xiaomei's eyes lit up, slightly disbelieving. "Really?"

Wu Hongwei had backers higher up; it wouldn't be easy to take him down.

Wu Fan kissed the corner of her lips and whispered, "You have to believe in my ability."

Ying Xiaomei gasped softly and actively responded. "Mm... come on!"

... When Wu Danyan returned, her father's prosthetic limb had already been fitted.

Her father had undergone long-term rehabilitation training in the hospital, and now he walked almost indistinguishably from a normal person.

However, that wasn't the biggest surprise; the most unexpected news was that Wu Danyan was pregnant.

That afternoon, Wu Fan, as usual, prepared to go meet Ying Xiaomei for a date.

He had only walked a few steps when he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.

Turning around, he saw Wu Danyan standing at her doorstep across the road, her face full of smiles.

Wu Fan quickly walked over. "When did you get back?"

"Last night. It was too late when I arrived, so I didn't come looking for you."

"Want to come inside and sit for a bit?"

Wu Fan glanced at the bamboo chair by the door, sat down, and said, "It's quite comfortable sitting here in the sun."

Wu Danyan hummed in agreement and sat down next to him.

Wu Fan put a cigarette in his mouth, intending to light it, but Wu Danyan stopped him.

"Don't smoke."

Wu Fan was puzzled. "Since when are you afraid of secondhand smoke?"

Wu Danyan said shyly, "I'm pregnant."

Wu Fan was surprised. "Mine?"

Wu Danyan pouted. "If it's not yours, whose could it be?"

Wu Fan grasped her hand. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Wu Danyan blushed slightly. "I just wanted to give you a surprise during the New Year."

Wu Fan murmured, "Oh," suddenly unsure of what to say.

For an unmarried woman to be willing to bear his child, this depth of feeling was significant.

He remained silent for a moment, then took out his phone and transferred one million yuan. "Xiao Yan, here's some spending money for now. Make sure my son eats well."

Wu Danyan was startled when she saw the amount. "That's too much. I don't need this much."

Wu Fan held her hand and said gently, "Spend more money, eat good things, understand? I'll take care of you in the future."

Wu Danyan's eyes were full of emotion, and she nodded happily.

She accepted the money, feeling warm and secure inside.

Wu Fan asked, "How is your father?"

Wu Danyan showed a cheerful smile. "He can basically walk like a normal person now. He went to till the fields early this morning."

"He said he wanted to turn the soil before the New Year so he could plant crops after the New Year."

Wu Fan nodded. "Has the compensation matter been settled?"

Wu Danyan frowned. "No, Wu Hongwei keeps finding all sorts of excuses to evade it."

Wu Fan thought for a moment, then leaned in and whispered a few words to Wu Danyan.

Wu Danyan exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "That's a good idea."

When she went to the Village Committee Office Building, only Wu Hongwei was there.

Wu Fan had carefully timed it and asked Ying Xiaomei out.

A few days ago, Ying Xiaomei had secretly installed a camera in the office building to facilitate evidence collection.

When Wu Hongwei saw Wu Danyan, he immediately understood why she had come.

He deliberately put on a cold face and said, "The Village currently has no money. The allocation from above hasn't come down yet. It doesn't help for you to keep coming to me."

Wu Danyan sat down on the nearby sofa. "Director, it's been so long. Letting it drag on like this isn't right. Can't you think of a solution?"

Wu Hongwei put down his teacup, his murky eyes holding a hint of lewdness. "There is a way, but it requires bribing someone higher up..."

He only said half of it and stopped speaking.

Wu Danyan's phone was already recording, so she spoke more directly. "Director, my father's injury was work-related, and it really doesn't make sense that the compensation hasn't been paid."

"Director, how should we go about the bribe?"

Wu Hongwei smirked. "If I told you to take out tens of thousands of yuan, you probably couldn't, since you've been staying home without a job."

He paused. "There is a way, only..."

He stopped again.

Speaking in officialese was his specialty. However, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times.

Wu Danyan quickly said, "Director, whatever you have to say, just say it directly."

Wu Hongwei stood up, walked a few steps closer, and bent down to say, "You are so beautiful, you could exchange your body..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his hands were already resting improperly on Wu Danyan's shoulders.

Wu Danyan had not expected Wu Hongwei to utter such shameless words.

Wu Fan had asked her to come and inquire, and to record the conversation to gather evidence and keep a record.

But his current behavior caught her completely off guard.

Wu Danyan slapped his hands away and shouted, "Wu Hongwei, what are you doing?"

Wu Hongwei stepped closer again and suddenly tried to hug her. "Wu Danyan, I'm giving you a chance, don't be ungrateful."

"Don't you want your father's two hundred thousand yuan anymore?"

If he had said this before, it might have actually worked, but the current Wu Danyan was not short on money.

She viciously slapped him.

"Smack..."

It was heavy.

It instantly stunned Wu Hongwei for several seconds.

"Wu Danyan, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I've been in Wujiabao Village for so many years, and no one has ever dared to hit me."

"If I don't deal with you today, I might as well quit!"

After he finished speaking, he lunged at her like a hungry wolf attacking its prey.

Wu Danyan raised her hand to hit him again, but Wu Hongwei grabbed her wrist.

His foul mouth snouted towards Wu Danyan's face like a wild boar.

With a loud "Clang...", the door was kicked open.

Wu Fan rushed over and grabbed the lapel of Wu Hongwei's shirt.

"Smack..."

"Smack..."

"Smack..."

Three loud slaps in quick succession made Wu Hongwei instantly see stars and feel dizzy.

Just as he managed to see clearly who the person was, "Smack"... he received another resounding slap.

Wu Fan exerted a little force and flung the entire Wu Hongwei onto the small folding table nearby.

With a crash, the small table collapsed instantly.

Wu Hongwei cried out and was thrown onto the floor.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled a few times but couldn't get up.

He felt a burning pain in his cheek, and the bones in his backside ached as if they were broken...
