The village chief was so angry that his nose almost went crooked; he hadn't expected Gu Chengyu to be so shameless. He genuinely invited a wolf into his home!
"Mr. Gu! What's this, daring to do but not daring to admit? My son was crippled by your men, and you wouldn't know? Last night, the noise in the yard was so loud; how could you not hear?"
Gu Chengyu replied with confusion, "Your son was crippled? We truly didn't know! We were exhausted from the journey yesterday and retired early. Perhaps I slept deeply and didn't hear any noise. Mrs. Gao, did you hear any sounds?"
Mrs. Gao certainly wouldn't undermine Gu Chengyu, "Village chief, indeed, we were all tired yesterday and rested early; we really didn't know!"
The village chief was so mad he nearly lost it, realizing that this old woman was one of theirs and wouldn't help his side. Yet, letting them walk away like this, he was still unwilling!
