Chapter 2065 Being followed
After leaving the shop, she turned to look at An Yi and whispered, "An Yi, there's no need to guard here. Take these things back to the inn first. We'll go shopping and then go back."
An Yi glanced at Chen Changli, and when he saw him nod, he saluted towards Wan Shufang.
"Yes, ma'am."
He left in a hurry, and Wan Shufang also reached out her hand and interlocked her fingers with Chen Changli: "Changli, let's go, we'll go back after a little shopping, we have to leave tomorrow, you bought so many things, I don't know if you can carry them all."
Her tone was coquettish, but there was no blame in it. She seemed to be in a better mood, which made Chen Changli feel relieved and he accompanied her for a stroll with peace of mind.
The two were walking on the street, looking at the lights of thousands of homes and enjoying the hustle and bustle. They happened to meet someone selling lanterns, and Chen Changli wanted to buy one for Wan Shufang.
She was left standing there alone. In a daze, Wan Shufang suddenly realized that someone was following her. She subconsciously turned around, but there was no suspicious person behind her.
"Gone..." Wan Shufang murmured and moved around subconsciously. The feeling of being followed came to her mind again. She turned around again, but still found nothing.
This made Wan Shufang very confused. The crowd was in chaos and she realized then that Chen Changli was missing. Wan Shufang panicked and could only walk back the same way she came.
"Chen Changli, where are you?" She called out and looked for Chen Changli everywhere, feeling more and more uneasy.
Suddenly, a dispute was heard in the crowd. Wan Shufang pushed through the crowd and looked forward, only to see a middle-aged woman with a pair of children arguing with a farmer.
"My brother's body is in your cellar. He is my only brother. Today, I must go and see him and bring him home." The woman blushed and yelled at the farmer.
The two children beside her also imitated her and shouted: "Hand over my uncle!"
"You are the ones who killed my uncle!"
Hearing this, the farmer's face turned very ugly, and he frowned and said sternly: "Your brother has been missing for ten years. He has nothing to do with us at all."
"If you bring your two children here to make a scene again, we will report you to the police and have them arrest you."
The farmer threatened the woman, but she was not afraid at all. Seeing more and more people watching, she simply sat down on the ground and cried, "Oh my God, you have no conscience. I just wanted to bring back my brother's body."
"They are actually going to report me to the police. Old man, let me tell you, my brother has already told me in a dream that it was you who killed him and hid his body in the cellar!"
The woman pointed at the farmer viciously with trembling hands. Her words made the farmer so angry that his beard trembled, and the people around him were also filled with disbelief.
"Is this woman suffering from some kind of hysteria? She claims someone killed her brother based on nonsense like a dream?"
"That's right. Besides, her brother has been missing for ten years. If he was a ghost, he would have been reincarnated long ago. How could he have appeared in a dream?"
"I think this woman is trying to extort money."
Everyone was discussing this, shaking their heads, obviously not believing what the woman said. After all, dreams don’t sound reliable...
Seeing that everyone didn't believe her, the woman suddenly stood up excitedly, her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of her head: "What do you know, this is true, he must have killed my brother."
The people were frightened by her ferocious appearance and became unhappy, and began to criticize her.
"Humph, that's just nonsense."
"We can't let you, a crazy woman, talk nonsense here."
"Get her away!"
I don't know who shouted, but the crowd immediately started to make a commotion and approached the woman and the child, trying to drive them away. The farmer looked at the crowd with gratitude and said all kinds of nice things to them.
Seeing that no one was on her side and some were even trying to drive them away, the woman panicked and subconsciously protected her child: "You...you, what I said is true."
"Wow, woof, woof, mother, I'm scared." The child burst into tears in fear and hid behind the woman, not daring to speak anymore.
Wan Shufang pursed her lips, hesitating whether to come forward to coordinate. At this moment, Chen Changli suddenly came over and handed her the lantern: "Shufang, what do you think about this matter?"
He had just seen Wan Shufang and had been standing behind for quite a while, so he naturally watched the whole process.
"Where did you go just now?" Wan Shufang looked behind Chen Changli with the lantern in her hand and said calmly, "The idea of a dream is too far-fetched and indeed unbelievable, but there is something wrong with you, the farmer."
"If you have done nothing wrong, just let this woman take a look. Why can't you let her take a look?"
She even always felt that the farmer was inciting the people and targeting women and children.
"Indeed."
Chen Changli nodded slightly. As the two were thinking, the woman was pushed by someone in the crowd. She turned around and saw Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Seeing that the man was tall and handsome, with a noble aura, the woman's eyes were instantly attracted to him. She kept moving between the two of them, and seeing that they were well dressed, the woman pushed through the crowd.
He ran over and pulled the child to kneel on the ground together: "My lord, my lady, please help me and save my brother's body!"
As she said this, she knocked her forehead without hesitation, making a loud bang. Her forehead even turned red. In her eyes, these two people had such imposing manners and must be government officials.
This is the vision she has developed after years of wandering outside.
When Chen Changli and Wan Shufang saw her coming over to beg for help, they looked at each other and were a little hesitant, but there were so many people here that Wan Shufang still reached out to help her up.
"You get up first."
But the woman avoided her hand and shook her head in panic, tears in her eyes: "No, ma'am, I can't afford it. That farmer must have killed my brother. Please, give justice to my brother."
Seeing that the woman was dependent on them, Chen Changli's face turned cold. They were leaving tomorrow and didn't want to get involved in these things.
Thinking of this, Chen Changli stood in front of Wan Shufang and said in a cold tone: "Since this is a matter of life and death, you can report it to the police. We can't do anything about it."
After saying this, Chen Changli was ready to take Wan Shufang away from this place of trouble, but the woman grabbed his clothes and cried, "Sir, I have reported it to the authorities, but they don't believe me and won't investigate."
The woman was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound. The two children were also crying, and it was so noisy that it made her head hurt. Seeing this, Wan Shufang couldn't help but feel pity for them. She stopped Chen Changli from trying to chase them away and asked softly, "I've been here the whole time, and I haven't seen you report it to the authorities. How can the authorities not believe it?"
"Madam, you don't know, we just came back from another place, we don't have any money, and we were kicked out when we went to report to the police."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang immediately understood, sighed, and looked at Chen Changli: "Changli, it seems that we have to take care of this matter."
