Chapter 575 The incident came to light
It was late at night, and most people in the farm had fallen asleep, with only the faint chirping of insects and the occasional sound of wind. Huang Changlin was unable to sleep due to the anger and humiliation accumulated during the day, so he decided to get up and walk at night to relieve his mood. In the dim moonlight, he met Uncle Chen who had just returned from his night patrol.
Uncle Chen was over fifty years old, and his white hair was particularly eye-catching in the moonlight. When he saw Huang Changlin, he greeted him out of habit: "Changlin, why are you still awake so late?"
Huang Changlin saw that there was no one around, and the anger in his heart was like a piece of dry wood that had been ignited, and he could no longer suppress it. He rushed forward and grabbed Uncle Chen by the collar, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.
"You old fool! You old fool, you hate Nan Guo so much, I must teach you a lesson today!" Huang Changlin roared viciously and punched Uncle Chen heavily in the face.
Uncle Chen was caught off guard by this sudden attack. His cheeks instantly became red and swollen. He grimaced in pain and fell to the ground. He stared at Huang Changlin in disbelief. How could this usually humble and polite young man suddenly attack him?
"Young man, what are you doing? Are you drunk?" Uncle Chen struggled to stand up, but Huang Changlin's attack was as intense and fierce as a rainstorm. He kept punching and kicking, making Uncle Chen scream and beg for mercy.
Uncle Chen's screams and pleas for mercy echoed throughout the farm, but this did not stop Huang Changlin's attack. His eyes were red, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and humiliation on this innocent old man. He finally stopped his actions only when he was exhausted.
Uncle Chen was lying on the ground, his clothes were disheveled, his face was covered with bruises and blood. He was breathing hard, looking at Huang Changlin in front of him, his eyes full of fear and confusion. He didn't know why this young man suddenly became so crazy and cruel.
Huang Changlin was startled when he saw Uncle Chen's screams getting louder and louder, fearing that the screams would attract the attention of others. He knew very well that once his identity was exposed, not only himself but also his brother Huang Changfeng might be in danger. He looked around anxiously, and countless possible consequences flashed through his mind, each of which frightened him.
In a mixture of fear and anger, Huang Changlin made a decisive decision. He leaned over and grabbed Uncle Chen's collar, trying to cover his mouth, but Uncle Chen was still struggling desperately, making weak groans. Huang Changlin's heart was ruthless, and his hands suddenly tightened, tightly strangling Uncle Chen's neck.
Uncle Chen's struggle gradually weakened, his face turned from red to white, and finally he completely lost his life. Huang Changlin loosened his hand, and Uncle Chen's body fell to the ground powerlessly. Huang Changlin stood there for a moment, his heart filled with panic and anxiety. He knew that he had made an irreversible mistake.
There was no time to regret or blame himself. Huang Changlin had to get rid of the body as soon as possible. He looked around for a suitable place. However, the farm was full of people and he might be discovered if he was not careful. At this moment, his eyes fell on a toilet not far away.
Huang Changlin walked over quickly and lifted the cover of the pit. A foul odor hit his nose, but he could no longer care about that. He gritted his teeth and dragged Uncle Chen's body to the side of the pit. Then, he pushed the body into the pit with force. The body fell into the sewage, stirring up a splash of water and bubbles.
Huang Changlin stood by the pit, watching the body gradually sink into the sewage, feeling mixed emotions. He knew he had embarked on a path of no return, but at this moment he had no way out. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then, he closed the pit cover and turned to leave the place.
During the day, the sun shone through the sparse clouds on the farm, and everything seemed so peaceful and normal. However, this peace was broken by a terrified scream.
A farmhand squatted beside the toilet with a look of annoyance on his face. He frowned and muttered, "Really? When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will cause a toothache. Even the heirloom ring can fall into the toilet."
He carefully lifted the cover of the pit toilet, leaned down, and tried to find the precious ring in the turbid sewage.
Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a body floating on the water. The face of the body was blurred, but the farmhand recognized it as Uncle Chen. He screamed, stepped back in panic, and fell to the ground.
"Ah! Uncle Chen! Uncle Chen... " The farmhand's voice trembled and his words were incoherent.
This scream quickly attracted the attention of the people around, and they gathered around and showed horror when they saw the body in the pit. The news spread like wildfire, and the whole farm was shrouded in this sudden bad news.
After hearing the news, the farm owner rushed to the scene immediately. He looked solemn and frowned at the scene in front of him. He knew that if this murder case was not handled properly, it would bring great trouble to the farm.
"Butler, what do you think?" The boss turned and asked the butler standing beside him.
"Boss, I suggest you handle the case directly and settle this matter as soon as possible." The housekeeper analyzed calmly, "Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will not only affect the reputation of our farm, but may also attract the attention of the government. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with it."
The boss nodded in agreement. He immediately ordered the scene to be sealed off and sent someone to notify the authorities. At the same time, he also sent several people to appease the crowd and prevent the news from spreading further.
In the crowd, Huang Changlin's face was as pale as paper. He watched Uncle Chen's body being fished out, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety. He knew that his impulsive behavior last night had caused a disaster. He was afraid that his identity would be exposed, and he was even more afraid that his younger brother Huang Changfeng would be implicated.
Huang Changfeng stood in the crowd, silently observing his brother's changes. He noticed his brother's abnormality and immediately walked over to pull his sleeve.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Huang Changfeng asked in a low voice.
Huang Changlin glanced at his brother, his eyes full of panic and helplessness. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just held his brother's hand tightly, as if to get some strength and comfort from his brother.
After returning to the room, Huang Changlin and Huang Changfeng closed the door, isolating themselves from the noise and onlookers from the outside world. The atmosphere in the room was heavy, as if even the air had frozen. Huang Changlin's face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, and his hands were shaking, as if he was still afraid of his impulsive behavior last night.
After a moment of silence, Huang Changlin finally broke the silence. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Changfeng, I... I made a big mistake. Last night, I... I killed Uncle Chen."
Huang Changfeng was so shocked that he could hardly breathe when he heard the news. He stared at his brother with wide eyes and incredulous eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, you...what did you say? Did you kill Uncle Chen?"
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Huang Changfeng still found it difficult to accept the truth when his brother actually told him.
Huang Changlin lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if trying to control his emotions. He explained in a trembling voice: "I... I was too impulsive at the time. When I heard him insult Nan Guo and our father, I... I lost my mind."
Huang Changfeng couldn't help but blame him after hearing this: "Brother, how can you be so impulsive? Our current situation is already very difficult, and you are still doing this. Isn't this making things worse?"
Huang Changlin lowered his head in regret. He knew his brother was right, but he could not change his mind. He raised his head, looked at his brother and said, "I know I was wrong, but it's too late to regret now. We must find a way to leave here, otherwise, if we are found, we will be finished."
Huang Changfeng was silent for a moment, then he said decisively: "Yes, we must leave. It's not safe here anymore, we can't stay here any longer."
However, when the two faced the reality of their predicament, they found themselves helpless. Huang Changlin sighed: "Where else can we go? We don't even have a single person we can trust now."
Huang Changfeng gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination. He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, we can't just sit there and wait for death. No matter what, we have to leave here as soon as possible and find another place to survive."
