Wang Xuehong was shocked by the midnight arrival of Su Qing, Zhao Youcai, and his wife. "Old Zhao, is something wrong?"
As he spoke, Wang Xuehong's gaze fell on Su Qing. He had a gut feeling that something terrible had happened to her. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have come rushing over in the middle of the night. It was, after all, two-thirty in the morning.
Zhao Youcai nodded. "Old Wang, something did happen. Three men broke into Su Qing's house in the dark."
"What!" Wang Xuehong shot to his feet and quickly looked at Su Qing. "Su Qing, they didn't hurt you, did they?"
Su Qing quickly replied, "Village Secretary, I'm fine. Luckily, I met an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the county town who gave me some sedatives. I was planning to use them for self-defense when I go into the mountains, since there are so many wild animals. But I never expected those three men to suddenly break in, so I used the sedative on them. That's how I managed to escape."
