346: Who is retaliating?

Village Head Xiao looked at the surrounding villagers and said in a serious tone.

"Now that the culprits have been caught, it's still early. You all go back to sleep first..."

"Village Head."

"Tenth Uncle, we're not sleepy. We have to wait for the Public Security Comrades to arrive so they don't escape."

"That's right, Tenth Uncle, these thugs dared to steal from Sixth Aunt's house. We absolutely cannot let them off."

"We'll just stand guard here."

Many villagers were unwilling to leave like this.

Village Head Xiao repeated his words with a stern face, and only then did the crowd disperse.

Only Village Head Xiao's family and Xiao Niannian's group remained in the Compound.

"Everyone, come in and sit down quickly."

Grandma Xiao greeted everyone.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing's group walked towards the house.

Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan had already lit the fire, and the room quickly warmed up.

Village Head Xiao looked at the four people on the ground outside and said with some worry.

"I wonder who these people are?"

He was worried about Sixth Sister-in-law, and even more worried about Niannian. Could it be revenge for dealing with Director Wang and his group last time?

If that's the case, would Sixth Sister-in-law be safer living in the Yangcheng Troops Compound?

Hearing Tenth Grandfather's words, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen.

Lu Jing stood up and said.

"Old Shen and I will go interrogate them."

Military Doctor Shen immediately followed, and Shen Yan, hearing this, quickly ran out.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian did not follow.

"Grandma, Tenth Grandfather, don't worry. With Brother Lu and the others interrogating them, these people will definitely reveal who instigated them..."

Xiao Niannian smiled and comforted the elders.

Hearing her Granddaughter's words, Grandma Xiao nodded.

She wasn't scared. She looked at Village Head Xiao and Xiao Dashu and Xiao Shu, and said.

"Tenth Brother, Dashu, Xiaoshu, you all go back and rest. When the Public Security Comrades arrive, you can come back. Xiao Lu and Xiao Shen are here, so there's no need to worry..."

"Okay, Sixth Sister-in-law, then we'll go back to rest first."

After Village Head Xiao and the others left, Grandma Xiao looked at her Granddaughter. She held Xiao Niannian's hand and said.

"Niannian, Grandma suspects these people might be Director Wang's subordinates coming for revenge..."

Hearing Grandma's words, Xiao Niannian said.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm telling you, no matter who it is, we won't let them off."

"Good."

Hearing her Granddaughter's words, Grandma Xiao thought of the four people getting beaten up just now.

"Niannian, was it you and Xiao Lu who beat them just now?"

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"Grandma, it was The Monkeys from our back mountain."

Hearing that it was The Monkeys from the back mountain, Grandma Xiao thought of Wang Dazhuang and Xiao Dong getting beaten up before.

A few years ago, she saw her Granddaughter feeding The Monkeys with vegetable leaves and such. Sometimes, when her Granddaughter returned from the mountain, there would be a monkey on her shoulder.

So that's how it was.

Grandma Xiao immediately understood what was going on.

These monkeys were protecting her and her Granddaughter. So that's it, this is truly wonderful.

She couldn't let others know about this matter, otherwise, it would cause trouble.

"Niannian, don't let outsiders know about this..."

Now with the 'Smash the Four Olds' campaign, things like gods and demons can't even be mentioned. If this matter gets out, it will definitely bring Niannian big trouble..."Grandma, don't worry, I won't let outsiders know. This is good too, with them protecting you here, I can study at the Military Academy with peace of mind..."

"With them, Grandma won't be scared either. You must study hard at school..."

Grandma Xiao was afraid that her Granddaughter would worry about her safety and wouldn't be able to study peacefully at school, so she comforted her Granddaughter.

"I will study hard." Xiao Niannian promised.

Hearing her Granddaughter's words, Grandma Xiao nodded happily.

Grandma Xiao returned to her room to rest. With her Granddaughter and Xiao Lu there, she didn't have to worry.

Xiao Niannian walked towards the utility room in the backyard.

Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen had already finished their interrogation.

"Sister Xiao."

Shen Yan was extremely surprised watching Brother Lu and his brother interrogate these people just now.

He thought they would have to severely beat these people, but unexpectedly, in just a few moves, these people spilled everything like an overturned bamboo tube.

"I said, Brother Tie told us to come. He said we absolutely had to teach them a lesson..."

"Brother Tie also said to beat them up badly, and if we could 'do something' to Xiao Niannian... he would pay more..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing kicked him.

"Ah."

He looked at these people with cold, murderous eyes, scaring them into kneeling and kowtowing.

"We just took money to do things, please don't kill us..."

"Please let us go, you can have anything you want..."

"We just planned to take a look, we didn't dare to think of anything else..."

Two of the smarter ones immediately changed their tune.

They had really hit a brick wall this time; Brother Tie had truly ruined them.

Up until now, they hadn't even seen a face, yet they were already covered in injuries from being beaten.

What kind of family was this? How could their methods be so powerful?

Xiao Niannian listened to these words and looked at them.

Brother Tie? Who was Brother Tie?

Lu Jing spoke.

"Who is this Brother Tie you're talking about?"

"Brother Tie is a leader in the Committee..."

A leader in the Revolutionary Committee?

Doesn't that mean he's related to Director Wang?

Or is someone trying to use others to kill and pin this on Director Wang?

"If you dare to lie to us, you won't live." Shen Yan said, scaring them.

Hearing his younger brother's words, Military Doctor Shen gave his brother a faint glance.

Stinky kid, is that how you interrogate people?

Shen Yan returned a smile to his brother, then glared coldly at the several people again.

"We wouldn't dare, we absolutely wouldn't dare to lie to you..."

"We really didn't lie to you."

After interrogating for a while longer, Lu Jing walked towards Xiao Niannian and said.

"These four are unofficial personnel of the Committee. To put it nicely, they're unofficial personnel, but in reality, they're just a bunch of hooligans... relying on the Committee's power, they've harmed many people..."

Hearing Lu Jing say this, Xiao Niannian disliked these people even more.

These people probably had countless lives on their hands and harmed many innocent people. Since they dared to do such things at their home, it indicated they did such things even more often normally.

"The Military Unit will send people to arrest and interrogate this 'Brother Tie' they mentioned..."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

A moment later, the sound of cars and motorcycles was heard outside the door.

First to enter were the comrades from the Hunan Provincial Military Region.

"Comrade Lu, hello." Xiao Niannian saw the person who arrived was Cadre Peng, whom she had met last time.

"Grandma Xiao, Comrade Xiao..."

"Cadre Peng."

Xiao Niannian returned a military salute.

"We received the order and rushed over immediately..."

Cadre Peng saw the four people on the ground. He waved his hand, and the Soldiers stepped forward to escort the four people away.
