Upon receiving this news, Qin Mu felt sowhat helpless. He’d gone to such lengths to get them put away... only for them to be detained for a re three days.
Ordinarily, considering their extrely malicious behavior—smashing doors, illegally entering a residence, and making threats with wooden sticks—they would likely have received a one to two-year prison sentence. However... Song Yun couldn’t withstand the pressure and chose to forgive them, so actions like smashing the door and entering the residence could be downplayed. While their actions still constituted the cri of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, the incident was no longer considered severe. They could only be charged with ordinary provocation and sentenced to administrative detention.
As for the cri of illegal entry of a residence... it required acting against the hoowner’s explicit will. Since Song Yun had already made his statent of forgiveness, this charge was also downplayed. According to relevant litigation laws, if the circumstances were deed significantly minor and the aggrieved party chose not to press charges, the prosecutor’s office would not file a case.
Still... Qin Mu understood Song Yun’s decision. After all, Song Yun still had to live in Chen Family Village. In this village, most residents shared the Chen surna. If Song Yun hadn’t forgiven them and had insisted on sending them to prison... his future days wouldn’t be easy. Not everyone was as unattached as he was.
Moreover, Chen Zishi had also sent him a ssage, stating he had obtained the certificate for bail pending trial.
Qin Mu murmured, "With Zhang Wei’s help... there should be great hope for the case."
He had great confidence in Zhang Wei.
The only downside... was that this incident hadn’t triggered a system task, so he wouldn’t receive any reward from the system.
「Three days later.」
In the nursing ho, Qin Mu and Zhang Qingyuan were playing Chinese chess. The two had battled for dozens of rounds.
Now... with his photographic mory, he had studied nurous chess manuals and strategies, drastically improving his skills. Even without his phone, he could now give Zhang Qingyuan a run for his money. Their record was five wins and five losses each.
Zhang Qingyuan looked at the chessboard, his face stern. "Xiao Qin, your skill level... it fluctuates so much. Are you deliberately letting win?"
In Zhang Qingyuan’s eyes, Qin Mu’s skills sotis bordered on grandmaster level, while at other tis, they were rely on par with his own. Recently... Qin Mu had even lost many gas to Zhang Qingyuan. He always felt Qin Mu was going easy on him—an insult to him, the chess king of the nursing ho!
Qin Mu coughed dryly, not quite sure how to explain. His skill was particularly high when he was distracted by his phone; once he focused solely on the ga... he was only evenly matched with Old Zhang.
At that mont,
RING RING—
His phone rang. Qin Mu picked it up and saw it was an unknown number. He frowned and answered.
"Hello? Uncle Qin? This is terrible! Chen... Chen Daoguang and his group, about seventy or eighty of them, have surrounded our house! They’ve even put the corpse at our doorstep and won’t let us leave..." An anxious voice ca through as soon as the call connected.
Qin Mu was startled for a mont, then quickly recognized Chen Zishi’s voice.
He said gravely into the phone, "Calm down and tell what happened."
On the other end, Chen Zishi swallowed nervously and began, "It’s like this. Today, Chen Daoguang and the others were released, and then..." He proceeded to recount the entire incident.
After Chen Daoguang and the others were released, they sohow learned that the bridesmaid, Xiao Lan, had also been freed.
So, they imdiately gathered a large group of villagers—all surnad Chen—and surrounded Chen Zishi’s ho, demanding they hand over the bridesmaid. They weren’t allowing anyone from Chen Zishi’s household to leave, insisting that the bridesmaid be handed over.
They had even... moved Chen Quan’s corpse to the doorstep. The other three wedding crashers who had been injured were also out of the hospital and now stood blocking the door, claiming they wanted an explanation.
However... having learned their lesson from when Qin Mu dealt with them before, they didn’t resort to violence like smashing the door this ti. They rely blocked the doorway, their words and actions very restrained.
They clearly intended to use this form of non-violent coercion... to force Chen Zishi’s family to hand over the "murderer"!
